Lu Lian was busy making a blueprint in the workshop while Ming Rusheng went to Mr. Wong who was busy instructing the two carpenters about the modifications in the home.
"Where is Ms. Lu?" Mr. Wong asked.
"Workshop," he replied and looked into the paper sheet where the instructions for carpenters were written. "Is this old man planning to marry again?"
Mr. Wong chuckled, "Hmm, but once you are married."
"Then you would be single till the end," Ming Rusheng commented.
"Doesn’t seem like it," Mr. Wong countered as he smiled teasingly, "I liked the girl."
Ming Rusheng knew Mr. Wong was talking about Lu Lian and spoke, "Seems like it’s high time for the old man to check the eyesight again."
Before Mr. Wong could say anything further, Ming Rusheng went towards the carpenters to see if they were doing everything right.
"What’s the problem," Mr. Wong followed him, "You really don’t like her."
Ming Rusheng stayed silent for a while and spoke, "She will get someone better than me."
Mr. Wong pulled him away from there holding his hands, "Tell me the problem?"
Ming Rusheng sighed, "Why are all old people so nosy?"
"Because young people are brainless sometimes," Mr. Wong countered, "Now tell me."
"Mistakes in the past that one might not wish to remember," Ming Rusheng spoke as he looked serious, "Only this much I can answer."
Mr. Wong sighed, "I don’t know what it is but forget it and start new. It’s not every day we come across the right person and to me she is the one for you."
Ming Rusheng looked at Mr. Wong surprisingly and Mr. Wong continued, "I saw my old Rusheng today who was lost long back and I’m sure it was thanks to her."
Ming Rusheng said nothing and Mr. Wong continued, "Think about it carefully."
Just then the caretaker came and called for Mr. Wong, "The doctor is here."
Ming Rusheng looked at Mr. Wong questioningly, "Doctor?"
"Nothing to worry about," Mr. Wong assured and instructed, "The model house you made, I need a few changes in the backyard place. Finish it till I’m done with the doctor."
Mr. Wong left before Ming Rusheng could say a word. Helplessly, Ming Rusheng looked at the Workshop which was away from where he stood but could see the part of it.
He thought about what Mr. Wong said to him a while ago and remembered the incident from the past. The day when he abducted Jiang Yuyan. To date, he regretted that mistake.
As Lu Lian was someone from the Lu family and if she knew how he plotted against her brother to win a few deals, how he despised her brother and was ready to win over him by all means possible. Not just that but what he did with Jiang Yuyan was something that could make Lu Lian hate him forever.
He wished to stay away from her but situations always made him end closer to her.
As per the instruction from his teacher, Ming Rusheng went towards the workshop where Lu Lian was working with focus.
Standing at the door of the workshop, Ming Rusheng looked at her. She was sitting in front of the glass workshop table which meant to create the blueprint.
With both hands tucked in the pants pocket, he stayed there for a while as he observed the busy lady and could feel his heart was not stable.
Lu Lian realized, someone was standing on her right side at a distance and looked at him.
She didn’t know what to ask him but he looked so silent as if his mind was somewhere else.
"Are you here to work," she asked.
It pulled him out of the thoughts, "Hmm," and he stepped towards the model of the house he created and kept on the table.
He sat in the chair to work on what Mr. Wong instructed. From where he sat, Lu Lian was exactly opposite to him and he could see her from one side but she couldn’t.
He started the work while peeking at her in between and cursed himself once in a while for doing so.
Suddenly she looked puzzled and Ming Rusheng knew she would look at him so he focused on his work before she could catch him looking at her.
Seeing him busy, she didn’t know how to ask and then remembered how he told her to do everything on her own.
She frowned and he looked at her so she acted normal and focused on her work.
"You can ask anything till I’m here," he spoke.
She didn’t want to but it was not the time to fight over ego and thought to give up, "There is some problem with the roof placing and measurement."
Ming Rusheng stopped his work and stood up to go to her. She was sitting on the stool in front of the slant work table while Ming Rusheng stood beside her to check the problem as she leaned down.
He caught the problem and instructed, "Get up."
She did and Ming Rusheng sat on the stool. He picked up one small paper from the side and the pencil, "Here," he instructed.
Lu Lian paid attention as he was going to explain. She leaned down to see what he wanted to say.
Ming Rusheng drew a rough sketch faster, "This is how you planned the roof and this is the base. This style needs an odd number of pillars while usually, we use even. I have added this extra one before to let you do the modifications and you can use this one as the odd one. As You have added a few more things, we need to shift this extra or odd one by some distance and need to calculate again."
Lu Lian understood what he meant. She got the calculator kept on the table and both calculated together. In a while everything was ready and Lu Lian felt glad.
Ming Rusheng stood up from the stool and Lu Lian spoke, "Thanks once again."
Nodding lightly, Ming Rusheng went to sit in his place.

In the evening, Xiao Min and San Zemin went to see Yuyan.
Xiao Min and San Zemin sat on the couch of her room as she sat in the chair.
"How is the boss now?" San Zemin asked.
"Ready to resume work," she replied and asked, "How did everything go? Did you get the information?"
"Seems like someone powerful once again trying to create trouble and for now it’s difficult to find them. They are being careful but soon we will get to know it."
"Hmm," she looked at Xiao Min, "How’s going to the office?"
"The fourth young master is doing really good. He handled the important projects with Noah and other things are going fine too.
She looked at the two, "Anything that I need to know."
The two looked at each other. There was no use in hiding from their boss so San Zemin spoke, "Fourth young master is looking into the accident nine years back."
The two waited for Jiang Yuyan’s reaction but she was calm as if she had already expected this from Lu Lijun.
"Are there any loose ends?" she asked.
"No," San Zemin replied.
San Zemin and Xiao Min had witnessed his other side that they didn’t tell Jiang Yuyan and they knew he was not the easy one to deal with.
"The officer didn’t tell him anything as Mr. Lu Feng already handled him but he got the case file. We didn’t expect him to go another way," San Zemin added.
"There is nothing in the file other than normal details. At that time the police couldn’t find anything and few things we took care of already," Xiao Min told.
Jiang Yuyan continued listening to the two calmly.
"But, these days he is busy after office work and stays there till late. We tried to hack his laptop but he had already secured it, so it’s difficult to know what he is up to."
Jiang Yuyan was still calm, "Give him one more new project that will start next week."
"Will it work to stop him?" Xiao Min asked.
"Let’s see," she spoke but could see the two are not convinced.
"Say it," she instructed straightway as she looked at the two coldly.
As Jiang Yuyan was fine now and there was no need to hide anything from the strong lady, Xiao Min narrated the incident where Lu Lijun brutally beat the man.
It was nothing for them as they were used to seeing blood but the thing that surprised them was how Lu Lijun so beat the man without blinking even once. The cold aura he carried at the moment was something to scare about.
"Be ready to get a new boss soon," Jiang Yuyan commented.
The two knew this fact but they were used to having Jiang Yuyan as their boss and her words were the command for them. Soon it will change and they have to follow the other boss.
They were ready for it for long and wanted Jiang Yuyan to get out of all this but still, it was not easily acceptable for them.
