Chapter 1256: Site Visit

Jiang Yuyan took Lu Lijun to his home. Lu Lijun stepped out of the car and looked at the home. Though he had been here before, he never saw this place in sunlight. Both times he came there at night and left early in the morning even before sun rays could cover that place.

As he stared at it, Jiang Yuyan instructed, "Let's go inside."

Lu Lijun nodded and followed her. The butler came out and greeted them. No one acted as if it was Lu Lijun's first time in that home as in their minds they knew he had visited here twice but no one said it aloud either.

"Guest room is ready," the butler informed.

"Xiao Min, help him get settled in his room," Jiang Yuyan instructed.

Xiao Min nodded and looked at the butler, "Which one?"

"The one upstairs," the butler replied, "Let me take you there."

"Wait!" Jiang Yuyan interrupted them.

"Don't we have guest rooms on this floor? He is sick and it is not good for him to climb stairs," she explained but in fact, she wanted Lu Lijun to stay away from her as much as possible.

"The room downstairs had plumbing issues in the bathroom and it was so sudden so we didn't get time to fix it," the butler informed.

Lu Lijun was just silent and was observing Jiang Yuyan. Since the morning, nothing went according to her wishes as everything was just moving to help him.

'Whichever room you make me stay, in the end, we are sleeping together. Why bother?' he thought as a light smirk painted on his lips.

Jiang Yuyan had no option, "Fine. take him to his room," she instructed.

"Fourth Young Master, this way please," the butler instructed.

Lu Lijun stood up and he heard Jiang Yuyan, "Go carefully on the stairs."

Lu Lijun nodded and went upstairs. As he passed the door of Jiang Yuyan's room, he knew he would be there soon. Lu Lijun had his breakfast in the room and was busy looking out of the window while sitting on the bed. He was still too weak to be able to go out in the cold but if it was not the case, he would have gone on for a short visit to this place.

Before going to the office, Jiang Yuyan came to his room and instructed coldly, "I am leaving for the office. Don't go out in the cold and rest only."

Lu Lijun stared at her for a moment and asked, "Why are you so worked up? You can say everything calmly."

Jiang Yuyan was a bit taken aback. She had so many things going on in her mind and didn't realize the way she was acting all this while.

"Take care," was what she would say and left.

Ming Industries.

Lu Lian came to the office after finishing her visit to the already finished working side but had to go there for some important matters. The moment she entered her office, her assistant, who was arranging the files on her table, greeted her and informed, "President Ming has asked you in his office."

'President Ming?' she repeated in her mind as asked, "Did he come to the office?"

"Yes, Ms. Lu."

Lu Lian stepped out of her office, 'Instead of resting, what is he doing here?' She frowned and entered his office after knocking only to see Ms. Wu Suyin in his office.

Lu Lian swallowed her words the moment she saw Wu Suiying sitting in a chair opposite Ming Rusheng at his work table as the two were busy discussing the project.

Wu Suyin smiled seeing surprised Lu Lian.

Getting back to her senses, Lu Lian went towards Ming Rusheng's work table, "You asked for me, President Ming."

Ming Rusheng was unaffected with anything around and instructed, "Have a seat."

Lu Lian sat in the chair next to Wu Suyin and heard Ming Rusheng. "You are in charge of this project though I will personally look into it. We have to finish the design for this project before winter ends. Will there be an issue?"

"No, it can be done," she replied.

Ming Rusheng looked at Wu Suyin, "The site we have for this project needs to be demolished first and it won't happen until the winter is gone. Snow is an issue."

"Yes, brother Rusheng.... sorry...I mean President Ming," she then looked at Lu Lian, "Someone has strictly wanted me to call you President Ming, but I guess it will take time for me to get adjusted to the new change."

Ming Rusheng didn't comment as he was busy going through the file while Lu Lain shot her a death glare but Wu Suyin replied to her with a teasing smile and looked back at Ming Rusheng.

"We will finish the demolition job as soon as the snow is gone and it's good that there will be more time for your team to design the project."

"Ms. Lu is skilled in advanced designs and the way you want it. Her team will do a good job," Ming Rusheng added.

"I am sure she is. I have gone through her previous project designs and I can clearly see her talent," Wu Suyin praised her and Lu Lian thought, 'Is something wrong with her brain to praise me?'

"But I hope she won't disappoint me," Wu Suyin added as she smirked at Lu Lian.

"Rest assured, Ms. Wu," Lu Lian said, smiling fakely at her.

"Snow has been cleared from that entire area so we can visit it before it gets covered again. Snowfall has stopped." Wu Suyin informed.

Ming Rusheng nodded, "We should leave then."

Lu Lian stood up, "President Ming, given your condition, it won't be good for you to....."

"I am fine Ms. Lu," he said and strode towards the door after getting his winter coat and scarf.

When they reached downstairs at the exit, the security guard opened the car door for them. Ming Rusheng sat in the back passenger seat and Wu Suyin accompanied him. Lu Lian had to sit in the front passenger seat as the driver rode away.

They reached the site, where the ground was cleared of snow but the old and vacant building was covered with snow.

The site in charge, who was donned in thick winter clothes, came there and greeted them. "Ms, Wu, everything has been cleared here. You can visit the place."

Wu Suyin nodded and the three went closer to the building. The breeze was cold and though they were wearing warm clothes, it didn't fail to affect them as this area was isolated and surrounded by vast land and the hills around where it felt even colder.

Lu Lian didn't expect the worksite to be here as she had never visited this outside part of the city. From the documents, she just overread the location. She forgot to wear her scarf and even her hand gloves and regretted it.

Wu Suyin observed her and said, "I didn't expect it to be so cold, President Ming that I forgot to wear my scarf." Wu Suyin too had no scarf around her neck and, "It feels like my throat will choke up with a cold."

Ming Rusheng, who was busy observing the vacant buildings from outside, immediately pulled off his scarf and handed her over, not even looking at her but reacting to what she said. Wu Suying immediately got it from him and wrapped it around her neck.

"Thank you, President Ming," Wu Suiying said but as if he had not heard her, the busy man stepped ahead while Wu Suyin joined Lu Lian who was growing inside while looking into the file in her hand.

"Now it feels much better after this scarf is full of warmth from President Ming."

Lu Lian glared at her and controlled her emotions, "Wrap it nicely, Ms. Wu. We don't want you to die of cold when you are with us," and stepped towards Ming Rusheng with a file.
