On the coffee table were a few bottles of strong liquor . There were all opened and almost empty . Ming Ansheng was holding a can of beer in his hand . Was he planning to die from alcohol poisoning?
Ming Ansheng was sitting on the floor, slumped against the sofa . He didn’t even look at Lu Yinan .
Lu Yinan gingerly treaded towards Ming Ansheng and sat on the sofa . He glanced at him and asked softly, “What happened?”
Ming Ansheng took a gulp from the can and remained quiet .
He wanted to take another gulp when Lu Yinan suddenly stretched his hand to stop him . “Ming Ansheng, enough,” scolded Lu Yinan .
He snatched the can of beer away from him .
“Leave me alone . ” Ming Ansheng glared at Lu Yinan .
He stretched his hand towards a bottle of wine and took huge gulps .
Lu Yinan snatched the bottle from him once again . He was exasperated and frustrated with Ming Ansheng . “If I leave, you will die here today,” rebutted Lu Yinan .
There were still so many bottles and cans left . If he carried on drinking, he might really die .
Lu Yinan cast the bottle aside and grabbed Ming Ansheng’s arm . “Ming Ansheng, what exactly happened? Why do you look so tormented and grieved?”
In their eyes, Yan Rusheng was arrogant as though he was far superior to anyone else . But the person who was truly cold and apathetic was Ming Ansheng .
Meiduo was an excellent example . When they were forced to break up, Ming Ansheng fell out with his grandfather, and as a result, the old man collapsed . After being hospitalized, Ming Ansheng broke off all ties with Meiduo right away .
He began to devote himself to learning all about business and financial management .
He then got engaged to Tang Feiling . Although he still kept in contact with Meiduo—they were merely friends .
He didn’t even care about their past relationship anymore .
“I’m getting married . Be my best man before you get married . ” Ming Ansheng climbed up and sat on the sofa . He put on a contemptuous smile on his face .
Lu Yinan seemed enlightened . “Just because of this?”
Needless to say, his grandfather must have forced him to get married once again .
“If you don’t want to marry Tang Feiling, then don’t!” A crease appeared in between Lu Yinan’s eyebrows . “Your grandfather is really incorrigible . He forced you to break up years ago . And now…”
He was forcing him to marry a woman he doesn’t love .
Third Yan, Jiang Zhuoheng, and he were much more fortunate . At least they were free to date anyone they liked and had a say in their lifelong happiness .
Their families didn’t interfere that much .
As for Jiang Zhuoheng, if he was unwilling, no one could force him to marry Hu Xiaoxiao . But Ming Ansheng was different .
However, he also knew that Ming Ansheng’s grandfather had his reasons for doing it .
The old man emphasized heavily on family status and background, and…
Lu Yinan gazed at Ming Ansheng deeply . “If your grandmother knew your suffering, her heart would ache to see you in this state . ”
“If there is nothing else, just go . ”
Ming Ansheng interjected in sheer irritation just before Lu Yinan could continue .
“Ming Ansheng, if you don’t want to marry her, then don’t do it . ” Lu Yinan began to get emotional . “It had been years since your grandmother passed away . Even if you use your happiness to repay her, what could it possibly change?”
They were friends since they were young . They were just like brothers .
Seeing how despondent he was, there was no way Lu Yinan would leave him alone .
“Stop talking . ” Ming Ansheng raised his voice sharply and he was close to yelling .
Lu Yinan clammed up and nodded . “Alright, alright . I won’t nag anymore . But you need to stop drinking . ”
