Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

1558  Dirty Hand

Mister Hao signaled his daughter, who handed over the file they had brought with them. The two companies had successfully managed various projects together, and everything had been running smoothly for many years.

As they delved into discussions about the new project, Jiang Yuyan left everything to Lu Lijun, stating, "You are going to handle every project we have in association with Mister Hao's company. You can discuss everything with Mister Hao."

Lu Lijun had already thoroughly studied the previous project, and he started the conversation with Mister Hao regarding the new venture. Meanwhile, Jiang Yuyan picked up her phone and paid attention to it, choosing not to interfere in their discussion.

Meanwhile, the young woman sitting opposite them had her eyes fixed on Lu Lijun. His way of speaking, the way he carried himself—everything about him was captivating. Her eyes sparkled, and her heart seemed almost entranced by him.

Jiang Yuyan happened to notice this, and with an inward frown, she glanced at Lu Lijun, who was completely engrossed in discussing matters with Mister Hao. Shaking her head lightly, she resumed paying attention to her mobile device.

After half an hour, the discussion finally concluded. Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan stood up, and the others followed suit.

"I believe, just like the previous project, this one will bring immense profit to both companies. I am happy to have another project with Lu Coronation," Mister Hao expressed.

Jiang Yuyan offered an approving nod. Mister Hao shook hands with both Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun. His daughter did the same. She shook hands with Jiang Yuyan and then moved to Lu Lijun, offering her hand. Lu Lijun, being professional, accepted it, but the young woman didn't let go of his hand. Instead, she kept holding it, caressing the back of his hand with her thumb, her gaze boldly looking into his.

Lu Lijun's brows furrowed, and he pulled his hand back, to which she let go with a light smirk on her lips. It didn't go unnoticed by Jiang Yuyan. This young girl was not as simple as she appeared to be.

Mister Hao noticed his daughter's bold move, and his brows furrowed in disapproval. However, he refrained from scolding her in front of the guests and immediately redirected the conversation, saying, "President Lu, lunch has been arranged for us. Let's head there."

Although Lu Lijun wanted to reject the invitation, Jiang Yuyan spoke up, "After you, Mister Hao."

The father and daughter walked ahead, leaving Lu Lijun staring at his hand as if it had been dirtied by some kind of filth.

He then looked at Jiang Yuyan and remarked, "Wife, I was taken advantage of."

Clearly displeased, Jiang Yuyan walked ahead, replying, "Let's have lunch first."

Lu Lijun smiled lightly and followed her.

On the way, Mister Hao warned his daughter, "Behave. They are our business partners, and we cannot afford to upset them." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Eliana chuckled, "Wouldn't it be better if we become family instead of just business partners? You can't deny he is the perfect man for your daughter."

"If you are interested in him, this is not the way to proceed. This is China, and we do things conservatively," Mister Hao expressed his displeasure. "Leave your boldness back in Western countries."

"Dad, you are really so old-fashioned. No wonder Mom always argues with you," she laughed lightly.

"I don't care what you and your mother do, but here, behave. I am warning you. I brought you here so you can learn about business, as you are the only child of mine and the one who would inherit all the business. Lu Corporations is our biggest partner, and do not dare pull any stunt here, or I will hand over everything to your cousin."

"I know, Dad. I will do it well. Rest assured."

They reached the private room of the hotel restaurant where lunch was about to be served for the four. Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun also arrived, taking seats opposite the father and daughter.

"President Lu, I am going to hand over the responsibility of this project to my daughter as I wish her to get familiar with everything sooner," Mister Hao stated.

Jiang Yuyan offered an approving nod.

"I will do my best, Dad," she spoke and looked at Lu Lijun. "Lu Lijun is handling this project for the first time as well. I am hopeful we two will do better together and learn more things."

Lu Lijun didn't comment, while Jiang Yuyan simply looked at her, hoping to hear more.

"Lu Lijun, do you have a girlfriend?" Eliana suddenly inquired.

Lu Lijun simply raised a brow at her audacity to ask this in just the first meeting.

Eliana smiled boldly, "We are of the same age if I am not wrong, Lu Lijun. It won't be wrong to be like friends as we are going to work together," and she looked at Jiang Yuyan, asking, "Right, President Lu?"

Jiang Yuyan nodded, waiting to hear more of from this girl.

"President Lu, do you mind if he has a girlfriend?" Eliana asked, "I feel like he is wary of you and not saying anything in front of you. Maybe he wants to hide it from his family."

Jiang Yuyan looked at him. "Are you scared of me, Lijun?"

He smirked lightly, "What do you think, Yuyan?" "So, does he have a girlfriend?" Eliana asked again, not noticing the hint of flirting between the two.

"He doesn't," Jiang Yuyan answered, causing Lu Lijun to raise a brow as if questioning her.

"Great," Eliana exclaimed lightly, "then I can pursue him without any…"

"He has a wife," Jiang Yuyan interrupted the young woman's bold imagination.

The atmosphere in the private room turned tense all of a sudden as the two sitting in front of her looked at her in shock, while Lu Lijun smirked happily.

"Married?" Eliana looked at her in shock, "Who? When?"

Everyone in the city knew this fourth son of Lu family was definitely a bachelor.

Instead of answering, Jiang Yuyan picked up a sealed pack of wet tissue from the table, tore it, pulled out a white wet tissue, and held Lu Lijun's hand to wipe it clean from the inside of his palm, specifically focusing on the back of his hand where Eliana had teased him.

While focused on cleaning his palm, Jiang Yuyan spoke calmly, "The answer to your 'Who' is 'the woman sitting next to him' and the answer to your 'When', I don't feel necessary to answer it."

She gently caressed Lu Lijun's hand and looked at him, "Does your hand feel clean now?"

He nodded, "Very much."

Jiang Yuyan looked at the shocked young woman with a warning gaze, "Next time, be mindful of your actions."
