Empress Of The Lost Kingdom Chapter 47

Lu Gui Meng looked at the man who stood before him, with an intimidating aura. They are of the same age and Why is he hesitating to answer Tang Wei Sheng's questions?
What is this uneasiness spreading across in his mind?
"Ah Tang Wei Sheng, are you here to meet Lily?" Lu Gui Meng forget the uneasy the thoughts and tried to initiate a conversation.
"Do you know her?" Tang Wei Sheng asked him.
He knew that,those who are really close to Li Juan are the only ones who address by her pet name.
"Yeah, I saw her at your birthday party."
"Hmm," Tang Wei Sheng's gaze was still on the bundle of roses in Lu Gui Meng's hands.
Lu Gui Meng noticed it and tried to explain,
"She like flowers."
Of course, Tang Wei Sheng knows that better than anyone else. But what is the point of bringing flowers for his girlfriend at this time?
"Do you like her?" Tang Wei Sheng didn't hesitate to ask. Well, he must clear the misconception that Li Juan is single.
"Huh," Lu Gui Meng got startled in front of the straightforwardness of Tang Wei Sheng.
"Yes." He wasn't reluctant to answer either. "I am interested in Lily"
"She got a boyfriend." Tang Wei Sheng declared with an aloof face.
Lu Gui Meng's face lost its colour due to disappointment.
"So she said the truth?" He asked himself.
Tang Wei Sheng looked at Lu Gui Meng with a smug. Did young master Lu, really think that he could impress Li Juan with a bunch of flowers? Never.
"So that man was her boyfriend?" Lu Gui Meng articulated the question in his mind without realizing that Tang Wei Sheng is listening to him.
"Who?"
"I met Li Juan and her boyfriend in the afternoon." Lu Gui Meng remembered the man he met in front of the flower shop.
"Boyfriend?" Tang Wei Sheng asked in doubt.
"Mm, last time when I met her, she said that she got someone she likes. I thought she was just joking."
Lu Gui Meng said with a bitter smile and glanced at Tang Wei Sheng.
Why Tang Wei Sheng appears confused?
"You didn't know about her boyfriend?"
Before Tang Wei Sheng could answer, his mobile phone rang.
It was Yang Xiong. Tang Wei Sheng ignored Lu Gui Meng and answered the call.
"Boss, I've searched for the car number and it is registered under the name "Ren Xianqi"."
"Who is he?"
" How he is related to Li Juan?" Tang Wei Sheng threw rapid questions at Yang Xiong.
Even though Tang Wei Sheng knew that Li Juan likes him, he was a bit intrigued by Lu Gui Meng's claim.
Li Juan must have fooled him with Cheng Tao or Lee Tae Min.
Tang Wei Sheng tried to ease his mind.
"He used to be a doctor at the city hospital, but two years ago he quit the job and nowadays he runs a tattoo studio. I am not sure how he is related to miss Li" Yang Xiong reported.
"Where are you right now?"

"I am still at the office."
"Collect all the details about him and meet me in the city square."
"Yes, boss."Tang Wei Sheng ended the phone call and looked at Lu Gui Meng who appeared confused.
"Li Juan is not coming home today," Tang Wei Sheng informed him with a smirk and walked away.
Before getting into his car Tang Wei Sheng turned and looked at Lu Gui Meng for a minute.
"Lu Gui Meng, Are you still in contact with Ye Wu Fan?"
"Yes."
"Didn't he tell you about Li Juan and me?" Tang Wei Sheng asked with a smug face. " You better ask him then."
Tang Wei Sheng got into the car and drove back, leaving a dazed Lu Gui Meng behind.
What did he mean by that? Lu Gui Meng immediately dialled Ye Wu Fan's number.
"What is with Li Juan and Tang Wei Sheng?"
"Huh, Li Juan and Tang Wei Sheng? Ye Wu Fan was surprised to hear the question. "Where did you hear about them?"
"Tell me,"
"It is too complicated," Ye Wu Fan tried to avoid answering Lu Gui Meng's questions.
"Ah tell me,"
"Why do you want to know about her?"
"Li Juan, she is the one I met at that party."
"What the, it was Li Juan? Ye Wu Fan's voice sounded surprised. "That foreign model Lilly you mentioned was Li Juan?"
"Yes, are you going to tell me how they know each other?" Lu Gui Meng was getting annoyed. "I kinda feel that Tang Wei Sheng mocked me,"
"Did you meet Tang Wei Sheng? When?"
"Right now, In front of Li Juan's house."
"What the f**k , Bro are you alright? Where are you right now?" Ye Wu Fan was dumbfounded." Let's meet,"
"Okay", Lu Gui Meng ended the call and looked at the flowers in his hand.
What about this? He bought it for Li Juan.
Lu Gui Meng took a sigh and threw them back into his car.
As per Tang Wei Sheng's instructions, Yang Xiong waited in the city square and within twenty minutes Tang Wei Sheng came to pick him up.
"Did you get the address?" The moment Yang Xiong got seated Tang Wei Sheng asked immediately.
"Yes," Yang Xiong told him the address.
"Is there any problem young master?" After watching Tang Wei Sheng's devasted face, he couldn't help but ask.
"Li Juan! She went with someone."
Yang Xiong looked at Tang Wei Sheng in daze.
"Young master, Miss Li could have went with her friends or relatives."
"She doesn't have any friends or relatives." Tang Wei Sheng immediately refuted. " I am her boyfriend and I want to know where she is, whom she is with?"
Yang Xiong looked at Tang Wei Sheng with concerned eyes.
When did his boss start to behave like this? The image of caring and compassionate Tang Wei Sheng he knew was contradictory to the person sitting beside him.
"Young master, I understand that you love miss Li, but aren't you trying to interfere in Miss Li's personal life?"

Tang Wei Sheng shot a glare at Yang Xiong.
"I am not in a position to advice you, but what you are doing now, is wrong." Yang Xiong said that to Tang Wei Sheng's face. "After all, you are engaged with,"
"I am not engaged," Tang Wei Sheng interrupted Yang Xiong.
"Bro Yang, you know what happened and you are the only one who is aware of the marriage registration."
"I don't want to criticize you, but young master even if you are marrying for the sake of your family, Miss Li is a woman and it will be difficult for her to accept these."
Suddenly Tang Wei Sheng's phone rang.
He checked the caller ID, it was his mom.
Tang Wei Sheng picked up the call,
"Mom I will call you later."
"Ah Sheng, come to first people's hospital," Wang Fang said with a panicked voice.
What? Tang Wei Sheng slammed the brakes.
What happened?
"Grandpa got chest pain and he collapsed,
Wei Sheng, please come fast."
"Mom, I am on the way," Tang Wei Sheng ended the phone call.
"Young master, what happened?"
"Grandpa is in hospital, Bro Yang, we need to go"
Tang Wei Sheng said in a low spirited voice and restarted the car.
" Young master, nothing will happen to your grandpa."
Within a short time, they've reached the first people's hospital in Jing City.
The whole Tang family was present in front of the ICU. Tang Wei Sheng walked towards them leaving Yang Xiong behind.
While Tang Wei Sheng was talking to his parents, secretary Ahn Lu Shan approached Yang Xiong.
"Yang Xiong," Ahn Lu Shan called him.
"Senior Ahn," Ahn Lu Shan was the one who trained Yang Xiong when he joined Tang corporations. He was like a caring elder brother for Yang Xiong.
"Can I have a word with you?"
"Yes, Senior."
Ahn Lu Shan walked towards the other end of the corridor.
"I know that there is nothing in Young master's life without your knowledge. So is it true that young master is going to register his marriage?" Ahn Lu Shan asked with a straight face. Ahn Lu Shan already knew about Tang Wei Sheng's marriage registration and he is asking for confirmation in person from his junior.
"Yes, I am the one who went to Bureau of civil affairs." Yang Xiong confessed the truth. There is no point in hiding it from Ahn Lu Shan.
"Why?"
"It is something which makes young master happy,". Yang Xiong replied nonchalantly.
"Did you forget that he is engaged with the young miss from Ning family?"
" But Senior Ahn, Young master loves someone else and he wants to be with her" Yang Xiong tried to explain.
"Are you sure that girl likes him the same?"
"Senior Ahn, young master liked that girl from his school days"
" Are you sure that girl feels the same?" Ahn Lu Shan repeated the question.
"I think so"
"Oh! You think so," Ahn Lu Shan said with a mocking tone. "Then what do you think about these?"
Ahn Lu Shan showed his mobile into Yang Xiong's hands.
Yang Xiong took a look at the phone screen.
It was the picture of Li Juan with a man on a rainy night. Both of them stood under an umbrella.
The next picture was Li Juan and that man standing together in the balcony of an apartment.
"That woman whom you consider as young master's girlfriend is cheating on him with someone else." Ahn Lu Shan emphasized on the word "cheating".
"No, I don't believe this, miss Li will not do such a thing." Yang Xiong refused to believe what he heard about Li Juan.
"Do you remember the day you met young master?" Ahn Lu Shan asked him.
"You found him fighting with some local gangsters in the backyards of a lowly club.
They fought over whom?"
The fight was over Li Juan! Yang Xiong's didn't dare to speak.
"Just think about it, a high school girl like her, what is she doing in a club?"
Yang Xiong didn't had any answers for Ahn Lu Shan's questions.
"Chairman knew about that girl from the beginning and that's why he refused to agree with young master's wish."
Yang Xiong was unable to believe in Ahn Lu Shan's words.
Li Juan, no, it can't be! He has witnessed how she behaves with Tang Wei Sheng.
She never took any advantage of him. She always stood in her place.
"Do you know why Chairman Tang is lying in that ICU?" Ahn Lu Shan pointed towards the ICU.
It is because of young master and you," Ahn Lu Shan glared at Yang Xiong. "Especially you."
"You know young master's mental condition and Chairman Tang kept you beside him to stop him from doing in anything dangerous and rash. And what did you do Yang Xiong?
Yang Xiong looked at with Ahn Lu Shan with guilty eyes.
"His dearest grandson and his assistant cheated him right under his nose." Ahn Lu Shan's mind was flaring with anger, but he didn't show anything on his aloof face.
"Senior Ahn," Yang Xiong tried to explain
"You said that you wanted to see Young master happy? Ahn Lu Shan asked him.
"Will Young master be happy if he gets to know that, the woman he loved all these years was nothing, but a nefarious girl who tried to trash his name by spreading rumours that, he violated her sexually while they were in school?"
"No!!!!" Yang Xiong's eyes widened in shock. "Accusation of sexual abuse- no Tang Wei Sheng will not do such heinous crime."
"Yes, Chairman knew that both of his grandchildren loved that woman and that's why he tried to block every news about that woman, reaching his grandchildren's ears." Ahn Lu Shan explained.
No wonder, how bad he tried to collect the details about Li Juan, he couldn't find anything about her. Yang Xiong was left speechless.
"I don't want to know, what you do or how you do it, but make sure to change Young master's mind." Ahn Lu Shan demanded.
"Because he deserves someone better."
