Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband
chapter-1005

"The more you drink, the more you get the success in the business," one more man said.

One of them looked at Lu Jinhai, "Mr. Chairman should tell his son."

Lu Jinhai looked at his son but said nothing to him and turned to the man who just talked, "He knows what to do."

Getting this reply, the man forced a smile and turned to Lu Lijun, "Then Mr. Lu should drink for sure."

Lu Lijun felt like he had enough of it and spoke calmly, "If drinking shows man's true ability and if the amount of success measures to how much one drinks, then shouldn't Lu corporation be at the bottom among all the companies?"

The meaning was clear; everyone could drink more than Jiang Yuyan could, but she was the one at the top.

The men who loved drinking stopped and then looked at Jiang Yuyan, who looked as usual and never had more than one small drink of wine, while these people never hesitated to empty the glasses after glasses.

Once again, there was silence. The current president and the future president were sharp with words. These men could see what kind of new president of Lu Corporation they had to face in the future.

Jiang Yuyan had neutral expressions on her face, but the men could see it was how she gave them a mocking attitude.

Wen Zac, who sat beside Ming Rusheng, talked to him. "He always reminds me of Lu Qiang. One more cold guy we have now."

"Not everyone can be as sweet as you," Ming Rusheng spoke.

Wen Zac sighed, "Who am I talking to? You are one more cold guy I'm dealing with."

Ming Rusheng didn't reply. His sight wandered around where Lu Lian sat, just at the next dining table, and was closer to him where he could see her directly.

Everyone around could hear and see what was going on on this site and how others insisted on Lu Lijun for drinking. They all waited for what would happen while Lu Lian looked worried that Ming Rusheng could see.

He thought, 'What was there to be worried about as it was just about drinking?'

Lu Jinhai and Mr. Wen felt glad about how Lu Lijun replied to those men, and he was as good as his brother and current president of Lu Corporation.

Lu Jinhai and Mr. Wen were aware that what their cunning friends were trying to do, but they preferred to stay out of it as it was Lu Lijun's time to learn to face such things.

On the other side, Noah and Jake only looked at each other, not knowing how to help their friend, but they were prepared if something happened.

Even after getting a mocking reply from Lu Lijun, those men didn't wish to give up as it came to their egos.

"Well, Mr. Lu is good with words," one man praised, but one could see he had something else in mind.

Just after praising, he spoke, "Mr. Lu can have at least one drink in honor of Lu Corporation then. Saying, the man looked at his friends who were on his side and asked, "Am I right?" and his friends agreed in unison.

Lu Lijun didn't understand why they were so adamant about making him drink. 'Was it that important? Why are these people so obsessed with drinking? He thought.

All those men sitting there wanted to win over him and show they were the seniors, and Lu Lijun was still new. No one could defy their words and act rudely as Lu Lijun did. They couldn't say anything to Jiang Yuyan even though she worked however she wanted because she had power.

Another man spoke, "My friend is right. Let's have one drink in honor of Lu Corporation." With this, everyone started to insist on drinking, but someone interrupted them.

"I'm the leader of Lu Corporations, so I should be the one to care for its honor."

Saying, Jiang Yuyan grabbed the wine glass kept in front of Lu Lijun and emptied it in a moment.

Lu Lijun could only look at her in disbelief. He understood as she knew most of the things about him; she must know he can't drink. She did it for his sake, and he didn't know how to react to it.

For a moment, he thought to leave the place whatever happens, but it came to Jiang Yuyan's honor as she helped him, so he preferred not to act recklessly.

Because of Jiang Yuyan, these rude men's attempts went in vain, but they could only smile forcefully.

"President Lu is a knight for a young man. How fortunate," One man said, smiling, but Lu Lijun didn't like it.

Jiang Yuyan's action surprised Lu Jinhai as he thought about why Jiang Yuyan did it. It was just a small drink that Lu Lijun could have easily. Then something came to his mind as there was only one answer, 'Is he like Lu Qiang?'

Ming Rusheng and Wen Zac looked at each other as it surprised them too. Lu Lijun was a grown-up man, so why did Jiang Yuyan have to drink it?

"Looks like he took after Lu Qiang for real," Wen Zac commented.

"What do you mean?" Ming Rusheng asked as he was not that close to Lu Qiang to know about him.

"Lu Qiang couldn't hold his drink," Wen Zac replied, and both got the answers.

When Ming Rusheng looked at Lu Lian, she looked relieved, seeing Lu Lijun didn't have to drink, and he understood why Lu Lian looked worried a while ago.

Noah and Jake were surprised by it too, and they understood Jiang Yuyan must know about Lu Lijun. Noah was sure she wouldn't let Lu Lijun suffer under those brazen men but becoming his knight to protect him was touching, and Noah smiled.

Jake looked at Noah and said in a low voice, "Our friend is safe.'

Noah whispered, "Don't forget who is here to protect him."

Jake looked at calm-looking Jiang Yuyan and nodded.

Jake and Noah could see, not even once; she looked anxious. From the start till the end, she was the same despite whatever someone did or said.

She was used to having those annoying people from the business world and mastered how to handle them.

Xiao Min was calm all this time too, but inside he was worried for his boss.

This unique pair of the boss and the assistant would never let others guess what goes in their mind.
