Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 840 He Is A Jerk...

Two and a half years later.

Lu Lian was in the last year of her university, and at the convocation program, Ming Rusheng was the guest. Seeing him there, she was a bit shocked but showed it didn’t matter to her.

Two and a half years passed by since that incident in Ming Rushing’s office, and these two avoided each other nicely during any family gathering between Lu’s and Mings.

It was Lu Lian who always gave him the cold shoulder and avoided him by maintaining a distance.

Ming Rusheng didn’t mind it, too, as he was not that interested in talking to her. There was a cold war between these two, but no one knew about it other than Lu Bao, who never left any chance of teasing Lu Lian.

Lu Lian was the student of architecture, and Ming Rusheng had studied the same following his father and grandfather’s steps. He had completed his master’s degree in architecture from the best university in the world.

Ming industries dominated the business world’s architecture sector, and Ming Rusheng took it even ahead in his leadership as he grew up as one of the best young businessmen.

When Ming Rusheng started his guidance speech in the convocation hall filled with the students, his sight didn’t fail to notice the girl sitting in the row behind the first row occupied by the professors.

He smiled inwardly to see how she was avoiding to look at the podium and continued looking either downward or somewhere else in the hall, the frown was evident on her face.

"Lu Lian, isn’t he your relative?" the friend sitting beside her asked.

"Hmm!" Lu Lian didn’t react much.

"He is so handsome," the friend whispered to Lu Lian as she continued looking at Ming Rusheng.

"My ass!" Came the reply from a noble lady that surprised her friend.

"Shh! What are you doing, Lu Lian? Our teachers are sitting here," the friend said as she signaled Lu Lian to look at the row in front of them.

"Then stop talking about him," Lu Lian warned.

"I sense a conspiracy here. Tell me once this is over," the friend offered.

"There is nothing," replied Lu Lian as she thought, ’It’s just that he is a jerk.’

Ming Rusheng was a respectable businessman and her family relative, so Lu Lian didn’t want to curse him in front of her friends. Whatever was between them, it would be inappropriate to say something wrong about him to others.

Soon the convocation ceremony started, and the students had been called on stage one by one to receive their degree from the guests of honor.

Unfortunately, when it was Lu Lian’s turn, the guest who was supposed to greet her and give her the degree was Ming Rusheng.

She went to the stage, thinking, ’This man spoiled my day. Why does it have to be him only when there are other guests?’

"Congratulations," he said as he offered the degree to Lu Lian.

"Thank you," she replied, trying her best not to look at him.

Unwillingly, Lu Lian shook his hand and accepted the degree, trying her best to avoid looking at him as her eyes fixed on the degree in her hands.

There was a moment they had to look at each other when the photographer asked them to do so, and the picture of them had been clicked, not just one but multiple.

Ming Rusheng faced the camera with no expression on his face while Lu Lian looked not so happy.

When she turned to leave, Ming Rusheng continued looking at her unknown to himself. There was an announcement about the next student that pulled him out of the daze and averted the sight from the girl heading towards her seat.

The moment Lu Lian sat in her seat, her friend whispered, "Did you notice how he was looking at you?"

"Isn’t he doing the same with others? Stop the nonsense already," Lu Lian warned as she felt annoyed.

"I mean, he looked at everyone when he greeted them and offered them the degree, but you were the only one who he was looking at till you reached here," the friend informed.

"You are mistaken. Focus on the event," instructed Lu Lian as she looked at the stage where Ming Rusheng was busy doing his job and then averted her sight.

After the convocation ceremony, there was a chance for students to meet Ming Rusheng personally and talk to him as he was currently the most famous person in the architecture industry. All were excited to talk to him, and so many students surrounded him.

Even Lu Lian’s friends went to talk to him, but lu Lian didn’t go. Ming Rusheng recognized Lu Lian’s friends who sat with her in the convocation hall and realized Lu Lian didn’t come to him like other students but stood far away from them.

Ming Rusheng didn’t know what to think about it, whether to believe she had an attitude problem or admire her for not giving any importance to him in front of so many people.

Ning Jiahui had come there to attend her daughter’s convocation ceremony, but later she was busy talking to other parents present there. Once the parents finished talking, it was time for them to take a photograph with their kids.

"Why are you standing here alone?" Ning Jiahui asked her daughter.

"Others are busy talking with the guests, and I had nothing to talk so...."

"You should always be ready to talk to the people who can advise you," Ning Jiahui suggested, and Lu Lian didn’t know how to answer her mother that she didn’t wish to talk to Ming Rusheng.

Fortunately, the chatting session between Ming Rusheng and the students finished, and Lu Lian didn’t have to go to him.

The mother and daughter heard the comments from the students who talked with Ming Rusheng.

"He is excellent."

"Not just handsome, but he is talented too."

"I wish if one day I get to work with him in Ming industries."

Before her mother could say anything, Lu Lian diverted her attention, "Mother, let’s take our photograph together."

Like all other students, Lu Lian was wearing a black robe and a cap, which meant for the graduation ceremony. They clicked lots of pictures with each other and then with Lu Lian’s friends too.

While leaving the university, Ming Rusheng noticed Lu Lian enjoying with her friends. This girl who gave him cold glares all the time as if he was her mortal enemy was now smiling with others and had fun too.

Ming Rusheng sat in the car, but his thoughts were wandering towards Lu Lian. He didn’t know what she did to him, but he couldn’t fail to notice her even if she was standing between the mob of hundreds of people.

How much he tried to not pay attention to her, his sight always followed her though he frowned after realizing what he was doing. When she went on the stage, his sight didn’t move from her face as if she was the best thing his eyes wished to look at.

Even during the family gatherings, his eyes unknowingly searched for her, which made him angry all the time.

He looked at his right hand’s palm as he could still feel that moist touch of her soft and tiny palm in his when they shook hands. He felt like he just touched the cotton and wanted to keep holding it.

She didn’t give him any attention, was it the reason he felt like this, or there was something else? How can he stand to the girl who called him trash so blatantly, sitting in his own office? He should despise her, shouldn’t he?

His mind was a mess, and he didn’t like it. He felt angry with himself and wanted not to think about her anymore.

’This girl, what is she?" he thought.

-------

In Lu Mansion, at the dinner table, Ning Jiahui talked about the convocation ceremony.

"Ming Rusheng surely took after his father and grandfather. The way he talked and guided the students was really impressive."

"You should have seen my friend Ming Shihong when he was young like his grandson. no one dared to stand up to him," elder Lu added.

Lu Jinhai agreed as he added, "Once Lu Lian finishes her master’s degree and if she wishes to learn more, we can send her to Ming industries."

hearing it, Lu Lian’s eyes left wide open, "F-Father, I will manage it. I don’t wish to get work opportunity through personal contacts."

"Hmm! let’s see later as you are yet to finish your education," said Lu Jinhai and Lu Lian nodded.

Lu Lian looked at Jiang Yuyan but there was no reaction from her sister-in-law when she thought Jiang Yuyan would say something after knowing the incident in the pub.
