Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Novel

Chapter 1004 - Her Sharp Words...

In a while, the people from the stage came down as everything was done.

Lu Lijun came to where he sat and accompanied his father and Jiang Yuyan.

"You talked really well," Lu Jinhai commented, and Lu Lijun just nodded lightly, accepting the praise.

"There are few important people; I wish you to meet and remember them," Jiang Yuyan informed.

"Is it necessary?" He asked, not willing to do so.

Jiang Yuyan nodded, "In the business world, you have to maintain relationsh.i.p.s even though you are powerful. You can’t run everything on your own all the time. Keeping everyone by your side, good or bad, you have to do it."

"Yuyan is right, Lu Lijun," Lu Jinhai spoke.

Lu Lijun accompanied Jiang Yuyan, and Jake and Noah too joined them. So many people were interested in meeting Lu Lijun and Jake too.

Xiao Min introduced Lu Lijun and Jake to few important people.

On the other side, Mr. Wen was busy talking to others as his daughter talked to Mr. Wen’s friends, who were happy to see her there.

Mr. Wen introduced her to Lu Jinhai, who recognized her immediately when she came to her father a while ago.

"You are not the same little naughty girl now," Lu Jinhai said, and she smiled. Follow current s on ɴovelFɪre.net

"Nice to meet uncle," she said politely.

"I want her to meet president Lu and Lu Lijun," Mr. Wen suggested.

Once Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan were free, Mr. Wen introduced Liwei to Jiang Yuyan.

"You must know her," Mr. Wen commented.

Liwei bowed a little to greet Jiang Yuyan and spoke to his father, "She has always been an inspiration."

"True," Mr. Wen agreed.

Jiang Yuyan didn’t react to the praise as usual, but she just smiled lightly, looking at the girl.

"He is Lu Lijun. Uncle Jinhai’s son," Mr. Wen informed, "I’m not sure if you two recognized each other now."

Liwei bowed lightly to him while Lu Lijun just gave a slight nod, accepting the greeting.

The two didn’t recognize each other though they had come across each other when they were kids and studied in the same school.

Ming Rusheng already knew her as Wen Zac, and he was good friends. Lu Lian recognized her too, and the two talked for a while.

For dinner, there were huge circular tables arranged with chairs around them. The important people from each company sat around each table to have a conversation.

Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun were together, accompanied by Lu Jinhai, Ming Rusheng, Jake, Noah, Xiao Min, and a few other businessmen, who looked more interested in Lu Lijun.

The food and the drinks were being served.

The other ladies sat around the next table with few other women from the business families as they didn’t concern with the business talk.

"So, Mr. Lu is familiar with the European market," said the one man.

"Sort of," Lu Lijun replied.

"Mr. Jake and Mr. Lu are friends, so it’s a good thing." The man looked at Jiang Yuyan, "I heard there would be a collaboration soon," said the other businessman."

Jiang Yuyan just nodded lightly, and the man said, "Good to know it."

"Perks of making good friends. Good going, Mr. Lu. You will soon be on top," said one more man.

Those sweet talking words from these experienced businessmen were offending, and Lu Lijun felt like why he even sat with those people. He wanted to say something more offending but thought about Jiang Yuyan and kept quiet, not knowing the person herself won’t spare those brazen men.

"If making good friends was the only winning tact, then I’m sure few of us would have been ruling the world till now," Jiang Yuyan commented, swirling the wine glass, as she looked at those few brazen men who stared back at her.

It was the time to face the bitter words from this woman.

Jiang Yuyan continued, "Am I wrong?"

No one could reply, and she spoke again, "Or should I think there is no friendship between anyone here and it just for the show? Or if there is, then should I think no one is good enough to call as worth being a friend to help in business?"

There was a sudden silence for a moment, but it was nothing surprising for them as Jiang Yuyan never failed to chop them with her words.

Jake and Noah witnessed the kind of person she was and realized nothing would be easy for their friend. Lu Lijun had no words but felt proud of her that she wouldn’t let these people off the guard so easily.

Lu Jinhai and Xiao Min were not surprised at all, as they smiled lightly over it. They always had these exciting moments to witness when Jiang Yuyan shut everyone out, and it reminded them of Lu Qiang.

Suddenly, one of those men laughed a bit, "President Lu is always sharp with her words. I’m sure Mr. Lu will learn a lot from her."

With this, finally, the silence broke as others agree with what that man said.

"As it’s Mr. Lu’s first project and he is doing a great job, we all should celebrate it by having a drink," one man suggested.

Everyone agreed while the three friends turned silent. The other two felt worried for Lu Lijun as he couldn’t drink.

Jiang Yuyan, too, looked at Lu Lijun, who was silent. This time she didn’t wish to meddle and stayed quiet.

"Mr. Lu, please have it," one man said.

"I don’t like to drink," Lu Lijun countered coldly.

"It’s just a little. You can have it," another man insisted.

Lu Lijun didn’t reply. He couldn’t even get away from there as it would be rude, and he didn’t wish anyone to say something to Jiang Yuyan just because of him.

"You all can have it. Please enjoy," said Lu Lijun, the meaning clear he wouldn’t have it.

"Mr. Lu, drinking shows man’s real ability. It would be best if you don’t say no to the drink, especially when elders ask you to." Seeing Lu Lijun unwilling, they thought to insist on him even more.
