MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 12 Episode 64

Lu Lian felt her breathing turn heavy and stuck in her chest, and not a word could come out. She was fine if Ming Rusheng had tried some other means in business as it was nothing new in the business world, but she couldn’t believe brother Lu Han would betray his own brother, whom he claimed to love more than anything.

“Lu Han didn’t wish to…..”

“Was brother Qiang aware of it…about brother Lu Han?”

“Yes,” Ming Rusheng continued answering as the fear of losing her was taking over him, but there was no way back now.

It was another blow for her as she mumbled, “You made my one brother betray the other one.”

“Lu Han never wanted to, but we blackmailed him.”

“We?” Lu Lian gave him a questioning look.

“Xi Cheng and I.”

“Xi Cheng?” Lu Lian mumbled, “Nicky’s brother?

“Hmm.”

Lu Lian thought about something and glared at Ming Rusheng. “Is it true that he was the one behind my brother’s accident?”

Ming Rusheng didn’t wish to reveal it and didn’t even want to lie to her. “I only wish to talk about what I did.”

It turned her angrier, “I wish to know till what extent you have gone. That’s why I need to know. Was he the one?”

“I can’t say.”

Lu Lian chuckled. “You did not deny it either.” She concluded the truth on her own and said, “So you colluded with the murder of my brother and even made my one brother betray another one. What more is there that I don’t know yet?”

“Were you also a part of my brother’s murder?” she asked, as she looked like she didn’t trust the man in front of her.

“No. I was not.”

“How can I trust you, huh?”

“I only knew they were planning something against Lu Qiang, but I never knew what exactly I didn’t want to involve myself into.”

Lu Lian scoffed, “You preferred to let them do it while you keep your hands clean and out of it. Isn’t it?”

“No. I never knew they were planning to harm him. I thought it’s only business….”

“Once he was gone, you would have been free to get Yuyan, right?” Lu Lian concluded, interrupting him.

“I didn’t care about Lu Qiang, so I never tried to know what they were up to but trust me, harming Lu Qiang was never in mind.”

“After he was gone, I am sure you must have gone to Yuyan,” Lu Lian chuckled and stared into his eyes, “I wonder how she got rid of you. Did she manage to show you how pathetic you are, did she?”

At this question, Ming Rusheng felt his heartbeat would drop soon, but as he had decided to confess all his wrongdoings, he spoke, “I wanted to talk to her, but she never gave me a chance.”

“So?”

“I…. ” Ming Rusheng couldn’t come up to say it.

“If you had done something wrong to her, I am not sure if I can let you go alive from here,” Lu Lian said with her gritted teeth as her fists tightened.

“I drugged her and kidnapped her.”

She didn’t turn this much angry even when she thought Ming Rusheng might be one of her brother’s murders, but what he said about Jiang Yuyan angered her more.

“Tell me this was it, and you did….”

“I did nothing to her. I just wanted to talk.”

“Nice way of forcing someone to talk,” Lu Lian commented. “Do you even know in what condition she was in?”

“I know I was wrong….”

“No, you know nothing,” Lu Lian’s eyes turned watery. “She had lost her husband and her baby the same day.”

It surprised Ming Rusheng as he had never heard of it. “Baby?”

“Yes. When it was not enough to hurt her, my own family ended up forcing her to marry someone when it was not even a month when she lost them. She had to forget her pain and had to take care of one kid who recognized no one but her. She didn’t even get enough time to cry over what she had lost. Did you know it?”

It made Ming Rusheng feel even worse. At that time, he was so blinded by his own pain that he didn’t even think about what Jiang Yuyan was going through.

“I..I am sorry..I didn’t….”

“Don’t you dare apologize to me, and you don’t even deserve to ask for it,” Lu Lian shouted.

There was a pause for some time as the two needed to process over where everything was going.

Inhaling deeply, Lu Lain spoke, “If you had kept the hatred for my brother aside and had paid attention to what they were planning; if you had considered at least the friendship between our grandparents and had sided with my brother, don’t you think this all wouldn’t have happened. My brother would be alive, but you didn’t do it. You just ignored not caring even if they planned to kill him.”

“No…”

“You were not one of them, but I know you had wished him to die so you could get Yuyan.”

“That’s not true.”

“Smart person like you can’t understand such things, I don’t believe you,” she was not in a mood to listen to anything.

“Lian!”

“Don’t you dare call my name,” she warned as her teary eyes turned rageful.

“I would forgive you about the business part and even about how you used brother Han as I can only blame him for siding with you but what you did with Yuyan and how you didn’t care even a bit about if they kill my brother, I can never forgive you.”

“I never wanted it to happen with Lu Qiang,” said Ming Rusheng.

“Lie to someone else. Do you think you could get Yuyan as long as my brother was alive? Then why not let him die?”

“It’s not the truth….” Ming Rusheng stepped ahead.

“Not a word more,” she warned and stepped back to get away from him. “I can’t forgive you, and I can not forgive myself either for falling for a person like you who is nothing but a monster who had hurt my people.”

“Lian. I never…I like you, and that’s why I wanted to tell you everything before we….”

“What did you think? I will praise you for being honest with me and welcome you in my life? I am not like those brainless girls who get blinded by love and forgive someone like you. Never…not even in your dreams.”

“I really love you Lian….”

She chuckled, and she pulled out a smile that looked painful instead, “Love? huh? As you have put so much effort into making this dinner so special which I can never ever forget, let me do something for you too.”

It puzzled Ming Rusheng while Lu Lian went to the dinner table where she had kept her small sling bag. She opened it and pulled out her cellphone.

Ming Rusheng was clueless about what she was doing.

Wiping her tears, Lu Lian dialed one number, and soon the call was received. Just as the person on the other side of the line said hello, Lu Lian spoke.

“Mr. Wen, would you like to date me?”
