Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"So, what are you really doing here Mr. Jiang?", Yu Rong did not even ask them to sit down before she started questioning Minister Jiang first.

"Haha, I was just waiting for this to happen. Just for the sake of us all being alumni of this school, won't you let me off the hook?", Jiang Nuo was calm and to the point. He had been feeling really sad for his daughter but it was still better than his dead son. He did not even get to hear how he was doing before Jiang Bo took that step.

Now that his clever daughter has been sending him news of her well being regularly, he was not that worried. But he still longed to actually see Mei Qingyang. But to find her in the condition she currently was, it was really heartbreaking. He would tell her to leave her studies in between and just return home. Why suffer so much?

"Hmph! I already told you I did not like the idea of hiring another superintendent but you did not listen. You even sent your own daughter, even after what happened to your son?", Yu Rong really knew how to push someone's wrong buttons.

"Yu Rong! You have been very impudent since the beginning. Not only you have been insulting I and my husband left and right, you have treated my daughter as a servant too. What are you trying to imply to us?", Mrs. Jiang could not take it anymore and burst into flames of fury. She was a simple minded woman. Do good with the people who do good to you, was her motto.

"You do not need to raise your voice Mrs. Jiang. I am talking to your husband.", Yu Rong finally sat down at the big sofa and opened the wine bottle on the table. In an open display of hostility and disrespect, she still did not ask the Jiang couple to take a seat. Mrs. Jiang wanted to punch a hole in Yu Rong's head to see what kind of trash filled her brain.

"It does not matter. We are here to observe our son's anniversary. You surely don't need to be this offended Ms. Yu?", Jiang Nuo spoke in his authoritative heavy voice.

"I have been offended since you sent your daughter Minister Jiang. Take her out as soon as possible, lest something happens again to your child.", Yu Rong smirked. She poured the fragrant red wine into her glass and smelled it before taking a sip.

"You….", Mrs. Jiang was really infuriated. How dared she curse her second child? Jiang Nuo held her hand to pacify her. It was impossible to win against this woman by losing one's temper. One needed to know their leverage against an enemy like this.

"Oh, by the way, I heard Yu Ming hasn't been in touch with you lately. Is he doing alright?", Jiang Nuo knew that this woman was obsessed with her brother. He had been avoiding her since death of his own wife but lately, Jiang Nuo heard the rumors that he had stopped contacting her at all.

As expected, it did affect Yu Rong and she did not feel like talking to this couple anymore. Forget it! They had come with an agenda here. But she would definitely not let them meet their daughter. That would be the best form of torture. She would also need to keep that cunning Su Lang away from these two. What was he doing anyway, s.u.c.k.i.n.g up to Jiangs? Was he interested in that little b*tch? A light bulb went on in her head. It was quite a possibility.

Not a lot of people knew the relationship between Sus and Jiangs. They never made a connection either. So, although Yu Rong had news of all the people around her, she had no idea that Su Lang was just looking out for his friend Yu Tian as well as his own cousin.

"What… what do you mean? He is my brother, of course he is doing well. And if he really wanted to cut contact with me, would he not have taken Yu Tian with him? He is his beloved son, but he is still keeping him under my care.", Yu Rong said proudly. It was true that her brother had not talked to her in a few years. But he had entrusted her with his own flesh and blood for so long. And Yu Corporation was running smoothly as well, so she did not really have to worry about much. All she needed to do was do good with the school business. It was a major revenue unit for the Yu Corp after all.

"Hmm… I guess I was right then. He contacted me a few months ago. It paid being in the same class with him, eh? He would talk to me but refuse to talk to his own sister.", Jiang Nuo glanced at Yu Rong. He could look down upon her since he was standing. Yu Rong did not like the look in her eyes. Was he mocking her? Her beloved older brother Ming contacted Jiang Nuo? For what? He was so drowned in his work that he did not have time for friends or family and he sought out this lowly commoner? Her expressions changed multiple times and Jiang Nuo was fully enjoying the scene. Mrs. Jiang did not really understand the mental warfare, so she remained quiet on her husband's prompt.

"Jiang Nuo, what exactly do you want?", Yu Rong lost it finally. She did not have capacity to think anymore. This was a huge news. Yu Ming had given her the school to run independently. He had not interfered in her administration, which was also probably the reason why she could do what she was doing. She was excluded from all other Yu businesses after Yu Ming's wife's death. It had already been quite a few years now.

She had tried hard to make up with her brother. She did not even know what her fault was. After his wife's death, he had given up on everything for about two years. Till then, she did whatever she could to manage the business. There were huge losses here and there but she was getting by and learning. Then one day, Yu Ming just packed up his stuff and left. And took over the whole business. He kind of exiled Yu Rong to run this school and made major success in his own business.

People thought that this school was something new, but it was an established institute already. Just that, it did not have current policies in place when Jiang Nuo and Yu Ming themselves were students at this school. Since Yu Rong took over, it became what it was now. But her brother had become all knowing person and board of members were all his employees too. He had never said anything before, that meant he knew what was going on in the school. Didn't his silence mean he approved it? Yu Rong's thoughts strayed to her handsome perfect brother.

"Hehe, you will see in a few months time.", Jiang Nuo gave her a mysterious smile.
