The very same day...
Zhang Jei stepped out of her car in front of a building that had the most expensive residents in the city. She stepped into the elevator and stepped out at certain floors up. She rang the bell and a man opened the door.
It surprised the man to see her there but he greeted her. "Welcome, sister."
Slightly nodding to her brother’s greeting, Zhang Jei stepped inside the home as she had the same serious expressions on her face since the moment she stepped out of her car.
Closing the door, Zhang Wei commented. "I am glad to see you here after so many years, I thought my sister forgot the way to my home."
"I almost forgot but few things brought me here and unfortunately those things are nothing to be happy about." Saying it coldly, Zhang Jei sat on the sofa in the living room.
"What did I do this time that you had to come here personally, sister?" Zhang Wei asked.
"I am here to talk about my son Ming Rusheng. Don’t drag him into your meaningless fight with Lu Jinhai. It’s my warning to you."
"I am not doing anything like this, sister." Denying, Zhang Wei sat on the sofa.
"Then, why suddenly he is going against Lu’s by breaking an old rule set by my father-in-law?" Not believing him, Zhang Jei questioned.
"It has nothing to do with what I had against Lu Jinhai. He himself wants to be a most powerful businessman and for that one needs to challenge Lu Corporations," Zhang Wei replied.
"But who put this in his head?" Zhang Jei was not in a mood to believe him, knowing how stubborn her brother was.
"To distract him from the bad situation and to give him something to do in life, I asked him to focus on business and he is doing it or we never know what he has done."
"What bad situation?" Zhang Jei asked as this surprised her.
"There is only one reason when a person already has everything in life." Zhang Wei’s expressions and the way he said it, were enough for his sister to understand the meaning.
"Who is the girl?"
"Jiang Yuyan."
It stunned Zhang Jei. "How come I didn’t notice it?"
"Because he never showed it."
"How is he now?" Zhang Jei felt worried about her son but now her worry diverted to what if her son takes a path of his uncle?
"He is trying to get over it and focussing on business is the only way," Zhang Wei replied.
"So he is going against Lu Qiang just because of this." She concluded.
"Don’t see things like this sister. He has a right to get everything and he can. You know he is capable."
"I won’t interfere with business things but I hope it will be limited to only business and he won’t make a rash decision like you."
"Huh?"
"The thing you tried to do with Lu Jinhai. Do you still think I don’t know about it?"
"Sister!" He exclaimed as much as it surprised him to hear it.
"Ming Rusheng is like my own son. Do you think I can let him do something bad even though I am not a good person?" He asked.
"I know nothing but if it’s the case and he tries to step in your shoes by going far to hurt Lu Qiang, I won’t forgive both of you ever."
"He won’t but it seems like you care for that Lu Qiang too much."
"Why should I not when he stepped back and didn’t let my family affect him because of the sins you’ve committed, Zhang Wei." Zhang Wei said coldly.
"What do you mean, sister?"
Giving out a deep sigh, she spoke. "I never planned to tell you or anyone about it but to avoid bad things happening in the future, I think it’s the time now."
"I want to know what do you exactly mean?"
"Lu Qiang knows what you did with his father and he also knows the reason for Ming Fangsu’s death."
It shocked Zhang Wei to his bones and he felt like the floor below his feet slept away. It was fine if Lu Qiang got to know about his father’s accident as it was not that difficult to get information when he had the best sources to get it but what shocked him most was how he knew about the thing that happened even before he was born and only his sister and he knew about it.
"Did you tell him about it sister? How can you...."
"Why? Are you suddenly feeling ashamed of your actions?" she asked as if she had no sympathy towards her younger brother who she doted on in the past.
"I have already regretted it and to date I am regretting it but how can you tell him all this?"
"I didn’t."
"Then?"
"He got to know about it from you. You accepted the crime you have committed and he saw it all."
Zhang Wei thought about something and asked, "How do you know? How come he never came to me with all these things. I always thought why he never talked to me even though I created rucks in the Lu Corporations back then."
"Listen to me carefully as I am not going to tell you this again."
"Hmm! I am ready to hear"
"Back then when he took charge of the Lu corporation and worked on how to get you and Xi Cheng down, he found few things. I don’t know what he had against Xi Cheng but he had your confession recorded where you mentioned what you did and what had happened after that. You were drunk and spurted out everything, including your sister who knows about it."
