Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Days passed by and finally it was time for Minister Jiang to visit the school. Yu Rong had to give in because of the public pressure. She did take promise of not bringing anyone more than his wife and two bodyguards as more people would warrant more attention and thus, require more security. After the terms were agreed, the Minister's visit was scheduled for Thursday in the second week of October.

Time was going really fast and Mei Qingyang was now feeling pressure of her assignment. She was really looking forward to meeting her family as she wanted to make sure that Yu Rong wasn't creating much trouble for them without her knowledge.

Minister Jiang came with a large entourage. A lot of reporters also followed him. According to the agreement, he took his wife and two most trusted bodyguards with him inside the campus. In the morning, they went around the campus with Yu Rong. She and Wang Hao made sure that he did not meet Mei Qingyang directly. Such luck she had. Her own people were before her eyes but she could not even talk with them, let alone hug. Her mother was really angry on such an arrangement but Minister Jiang consoled her. Mei Qingyang had signaled them to not make any ruckus for the time being.

After the brawl last time, she had been moved to a new room. The new room was much better and bigger than her current abode. It was in the same bas.e.m.e.nt only. So, they had more rooms, but they just wanted to force her into that small dingy room. And it was also made clear to her that she would need to shift back to her original room once Jiang Nuo left.

Anyway, for the day, she was instructed to act as a helper. She was doing all the menial tasks of serving the guests with water, tea and snacks without a chance of talking to them. Not only her parents, both the bodyguards were familiar to Mei Qingyang too. They were all like her family. And all the four people's hearts were breaking seeing her in this state. Why did she have to be so stubborn about coming here? Why go through such hardship?

Yu Tian and Su Lang, on the other hand, were feeling really bad for Mei Qingyang too. They had been with the group for different reasons. Su Lang, being related to Jiangs, decided to join and help them out. Yu Tian was there as the representative of the school and Yu family. Later they had called Fan Ruyi and Feng Yue too, to show Jiang Nuo that Mei Qingyang wasn't alone here. She had made some very powerful friends.

"Hey Mei Qingyang, you did not introduce us to the two guys over there in the party, who keep looking at you. They seem quite concerned. I have seen them before with uncle but did not know they were acquainted with you as well.", Su Lang whispered in her ears when they were on a break. It was just before the lunch and preparations were still undergoing. A large compound was prepared where all the students were called from the college. A few press members were also present and Jiang Nuo gave a speech over there. After that, a huge lunch party was supposed to be organized which was in preparation right now.

Jiang Nuo was talking with his wife, still sitting on the stage while Yu Rong had gone to attend some business call. The group of five people was sitting on the left side of the stage while the bodyguards were seated on the right side. They were still under watch, so they still could not talk to her family. Su Lang was trying to create opportunity for her. Yu Tian's ears also perked up knowing those two guys knew Mei Qingyang.

"Thank you, cousin Lang. If you could make an opportunity for me, I would be able to introduce you to my two bros.", she said cheerfully. Finally this guy was making effort to help her, although she knew he had some ulterior motive himself. She had been gloomy since the morning but now she had some hope.

"Now that you have asked your cousin for help, of course this kind gentleman will put all his efforts.", he patted her back in enthusiasm, more so to show his uncle that he was taking care of his cousin earnestly as he had asked of him.

Then he sneakily whispered to Yu Tian, "Seems like your rival has appeared. The guy's gaze on the right hasn't left Mei Qingyang since their arrival. He is definitely more than a bro to her."

"Wha… what rival? Why do you keep getting all these ideas from nowhere Lang?", he slapped Su Lang's hand on his shoulder. This guy did not know when to restrain. Mei Qingyang was sitting jjust in front of them, what if she heard all this. Fortunately, it was quite noisy out here and she was too engrossed in making plans to hand her dad some information than try to listen to their gibberish.

"Pfft… Seems like you are the only one who doesn't know your feelings then. Because us three definitely agree that you have fallen for that girl really hard. Admit it or not.", Su Lang stuck his tongue out in a cheeky way. Yu Tian nodded at his statement, freezing him there. So, wait… Did he just admit to it? Time to create a chance for all of them meet up and see Yu Tian's reactions.
