Chapter 380: Back-stabbers and Cowards..

Hmm!" Nodding, Ming Rusheng continued to drink. Though he didn't like Xi Cheng, he knew, Xi Cheng would be helpful for him when the time will come and after all, in the business world, the enemy of your enemy can always be of good use.

There was a time when Lu Qiang had to give a speech and went on to the stage. The MC welcomed him and the speech started where Lu Qiang addressed everyone and put forward a few initiatives of Lu Corporation that were going to help the society and the people.

All were listening to him carefully. Whenever and wherever Lu Qiang was present, it was the treat for the people around.

"As you hold the power in your hand and you have an ability to change the world so it's your responsibility to use that power for the betterment of society and to help the people in need."

These were the last lines he said and finished his speech. Lu Corporation was known for its social activities since it had been established.

Once he finished the speech, there was a loud clapping sound and everyone could see what a powerful man he was. When he came back between the people down the stage, Xi Cheng went to Lu Qiang and greeted him with a fake smile on his face, "Good evening, president Lu."

Lu Qiang just nodded a bit as accepting his greeting. Xi Cheng spoke again, "That was a nice speech as expected of you."

"I know. Come to the point." Lu Qiang was aware that Xi Cheng was not talking to him without any reason.

"Point? President Lu sure is a smart person."

"Don't tell me the things that I already know."

"Today morning, Doctor Jiang Yang came to Xi residence."

Lu Qiang didn't react and waited for him to finish what he wanted to. Xi Cheng continued, "He sure is the person close to you. What a confidence or…..should I say overconfidence?"

"I call it believing in your own abilities," Lu Qiang replied.

Before Xi Cheng could speak Lu Qiang said again, "But it's not something the cowards can understand."

Xi Cheng still had that fake smile on his face and asked, "Cowards?" trying to ignore Lu Qiang's word's meaning.

Lu Qiang replied casually, "Those who know how to backstab instead of doing the things straight on the face."

Xi Cheng knew what he meant but still didn't lose his calm and said, "I understand. Those backstabbers can be dangerous and it's good to stay away from them."

"Instead of staying away from them and waiting for them to stab one day, I believe in crushing them under my foot," Lu Qiang replied.

Xi Cheng had nothing to say and changed the topic. "Doctor Jiang Yang is interested in my sister and I think soon we would be relatives. You are going to be his brother-in-law and he is going to be mine."

"Who knows what status you will hold until that time." These words from Lu Qiang shook Xi Cheng from inside and before he could say anything, Lu Qiang spoke again, "If you are done, I will take leave."

As Lu Qiang was leaving early as he found it was useless to stay there after his speech and he did his job. Everyone talked to him except for the MIngs. The hatred between the Lus and the Mings was known to everyone and it was old news. No one bothered about it.

While going towards the exit, Lu Qiang happened to cross paths with Ming Rusheng and Ming Yusheng. Seeing Ming Yusheng, Lu Qiang greeted him while he ignored Ming Rusheng. Lu Qiang never hated Mings and moreover, he was aware of the past. He was aware of his father's friendship with Ming Yusheng.

The reason behind him ignoring Ming Rusheng was his attitude towards Lu Qiang and his family. Lu Qiang always believed that the young generation should not meddle between the older one but Ming Rushing's thinking was totally opposite to Lu Qiang.

Ming Yusheng greeted him back as he was never upset with Lu Qiang and when he himself greeted him, Ming Yusheng couldn't ignore it. He always thought of Lu Qiang as one smart and nice person. Also, he was going to be a son-in-law of his cousin Mo Ruolan so he had to greet him. Officially, they were going to be the relatives soon.

Ming Rusheng was standing beside his father not paying attention to Lu Qiang. After greeting, both separated their ways. Lu Qiang went back to Lu mansion just at the time of the dinner. He left the gathering early without having dinner so that he could come back home early and have dinner with Jiang Yuyan.

When he reached, all were in the dining room, about to start the dinner. Lu Qiang washed his hands and joined them. Jiang Yuyan was surprised to see him and couldn't hold back her lips stretching to create a wide and pleasant smile on her face.

Lu Qiang sat in his chair and Lu Lijun spoke, "She is behaving as she saw you after so many tears."

Jiang Yuyan and others heard it too. Jiang Yuyan immediately averted her sight from Lu Qiang and looked back into her dish. Seeing her embarrassed Lu Qiang and Lu Lijun both smiled.

Lu Lijun spoke again, "Thank god you came, elder brother or I was thinking today I had to ignore my dinner and look after her."

Jiang Yuyan looked at him and said, "I never asked you to look after me."

"You never asked but I had made a promise to elder brother that I will take care of you in his absence and I never break my promises. Even if you don't want to, I will always take care of you in his absence," Lu Lijun replied.

"But if you feel troubled while looking after me, you don't have to do it."

"I never said I am being troubled. I was just saying in the absence of my brother, how careless you act and I have to look after you. You can eat properly even if he is not here. Will your stomach hurt if you do so?"

Jiang Yuyan couldn't say anything as she didn't want to fight with him on the dining table. Also, she was aware that it was difficult to beat Lu Lijun in an argument.

Lu Qiang was enjoying how both of them were arguing like kids and didn't meddle in between
