Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

In Xi Cheng's office…

"What are the updates?" Xi Cheng asked.

"Seems like Mrs. Xi is in trouble after President Lu's death as most of the people who were ready to back her up, to oppose you, they are scared of you now," the assistant replied.

Xi Cheng left out the soft chuckle, "As expected. Let her try for some more time. It would be exciting to see her disappointed and defeated."

In Xi residence…

"Mother, why did you look so worried? I can see you are working too much since the past few days," Nixxxie asked as she went to her mother's room.

"I am fine, don't worry about me," Song Meilin replied as she didn't want to show her worries to Nixxxie.

Though the whole business was under Nixxxie's name, she was inexperienced and still so young to handle business. To make her lead the company though Song Meilin would be the one handling it from back, she needed the support of important board members to get Xi Cheng out from his position but Lu Qiang's sudden death changed the situation.

Song Meiling was sad about his death as he admired him and she knew he was one great person, but there was nothing she could do. What left in her hand was to protect her daughter and she wanted to try her best.

Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Song Meilin permitted the person and the one who opened the door surprised them. That was Nixxxie's father, Xi Guiren.

"What are you doing here?" Song Meilin asked, Nixxxie as surprised as her mother.

"I am here to suggest something," Xi Guiren replied.

"If there is nothing important, you can go back," Song Meilin said as she was already tensed with her own problems.

"I know you don't want to see me here but I have something to say," Xi Guiren insisted and Song Meilin permitted.

"For now, stop what you have planned. There would be someone who will help you in place of him, so just wait." Xi Guiren was referring to Lu Qiang. "Doing anything in haste might ruin your plan and there won't be any come back as your failure will only make your opponent strong. Your supporters might lose their faith in you, so it's better to step back for now."

Xi Guiren suggested. Though Song Meilin was not willing to take any advice from Xi Guiren, but what he said made sense and she agreed, "Hmm!"

"Just wait for the right moment." Saying, Xi Guiren left.

Nixxxie couldn't understand whom his father was referring to as 'he' in his conversation who was helping his mother and asked, "Who was the one to help you, mother?"

Giving out a deep sigh and closing her eyes, Song Meilin replied, "President Lu Qiang."

"What? He was helping you against my stepbrother?" Nixxxie exclaimed and Song Meilin nodded.

"Mother, don't tell me that we are the reason for his death and my step-brother did the same thing with him as he did with brother Xi Guo."

This scared Nixxxie and she didn't know how to take it. All she wanted to know was that they were not the reason for Lu Qiang's death.

"I was afraid of it too, but Xi Cheng is not capable of harming Lu Qiang so easily or he would have done it long back. There must be someone more powerful behind it and that person must have a really strong reason for it as Lu Qiang was not an ordinary person whom anyone would dare to hurt just like that."

Song Meilin concluded, but Nixxxie was still thinking what if they were the reason for his death? How would she face Jiang Yuyan, Jiang Yang and Lu Feng? Will she ever dare to go in front of them? Though nothing was sure, these thoughts were making her restless, not to mention how worse she would feel for losing a nice man like Lu Qiang just because of her family matters and business politics.

"Mother, can't we just let it go and live in peace? If you are doing it all for me, then there is no need. Let him get everything as I don't want money," Nixxxie pleaded.

"It's not just you, Nicky. There are so many lives depending on it. Your grandfather raised this business from the scratch and that man is degrading his efforts by his bad way of work as he only needs money. I can't leave my father's hard work in one devil's hands."

Nixxxie again wanted to say let it be, but she couldn't as it would just upset her mother. Her heart filled with fear of so many things, Nixxxie left her mother's room. She looked at her cellphone and wanted to call Jiang Yang, but suddenly she stopped with the reason unknown to her.

Zhang Wei's residence…

In the evening, Zhang Wei and Ming Rusheng were having dinner.

"What are your planes now, Ming Rusheng?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Same as before. I will be the king and then get the queen I want." Ming Rusheng replied casually, but Zhang Wei didn't like the way he said it.

"This is the time you should just focus on business. Forget about her," Zhang Wei instructed.

"She is the reason of what I am doing then how can I forget about her?" Ming Rusheng countered.

"It's not time for you to trouble her when she is in the worst phase of her life."

"I will not trouble her or anything. I am going to just wait for her when there would be a day she will forget her pain and decide to move forward."

"What will you do then?" Zhang Wei asked.

"I will propose to marry her and I am sure her parents won't say no as I would be the best one till then," Ming Rusheng replied.

"But…."

Sensing the worry of his uncle, Ming Rusheng assured him, "Don't worry, uncle. I don't have intentions to hurt her. I will marry her and always look after her. She will get everything that she deserves."

"From what I know, she won't forget him this easily."

"I don't mind waiting for her forever. Having her by my side and seeing her smiling would be enough."

Seeing, Ming Rusheng didn't have any ill intentions towards Jiang Yuyan, Zhang Wei left out a sigh of relief and thought his nephew was not inhumane like him.
