"I am always here for you, Ming Rusheng. Now let’s go from here," Zhang Wei wanted to take Ming Rusheng out from the pub as soon as possible as he couldn’t see him in such a bad condition.
"Let... drink, uncle. I want to drink today...because...I...am...hurt," He said while looking at the bottle on the table in front of him.
"I know! I know, my son. That’s why I am here to take you back," Said Zhang Wei, trying to console him.
"I don’t want to, uncle" saying it, Ming Rusheng again picked up a bottle from the table. When he was about to drink it just then Zhang Wei stopped him by holding the bottle.
Ming Rusheng tried to pull the bottle back but as he was not able to do it, tears started to roll down from his eyes in frustration and he said, "I can’t even drink with peace now."
Zhang Wei felt hurt to see tears in his eyes as Ming Rusheng was not the kind of person who could cry like this. Since he was a kid, it was the first ti when Zhang Wei was watching him crying. Ming Rusheng believed in making others cry instead of crying himself.
Seeing him like this, drunken and crying like a kid, Zhang Wei rembered about himself from the past days when he was as of the sa age as Ming Rusheng. He saw himself in Ming Rusheng and strongly felt that he can’t let Ming Rusheng beco like him.
Zhang Wei patted his back and said, "I can’t let you be like . I will fix everything for you."
Ming Rusheng laughed and said, "Haha! No one can fix anything for , uncle. No one can."
"I can, my son. Trust ," Zhang Wei said being determined to help him.
Hearing it, Ming Rusheng looked at his uncle with his teary, red, drunken eyes and asked, "Can you bring Jiang Yuyan to ? Can you make her fall in love with ?" He looked hurt.
Zhang Wei had no word to say in reply to his question but he said, "We can at least try to get her for you."
"Is it even possible, uncle, when that bastard Lu Qiang is with her?" Ming Rusheng asked with rage in his eyes as he ntioned Lu Qiang.
"I said, we can try but we can’t force her and forget about Lu Qiang," Zhang Wei said to see how angry Ming Rusheng looked.
"She won’t co to ... I..I know she won’t... Never ever," saying it he again grabbed the bottle and drank from it.
Zhang Wei pulled out a bottle which made alcohol spill on Ming Rusheng’s clothes. As Ming Rusheng tried to grab it again, Zhang Wei frowned, "Enough now" and asked the waiter to take everything away from the table.
He then looked back at Ming Rusheng and said, "She will. I will make it possible but promise one thing."
Ming Rusheng frowned with what his uncle did but hearing his words, he asked, "What uncle?"
"If she won’t listen to you, you will never try to force yourself on her and wait for her," Zhang Wei said.
Ming Rusheng sighed and leaned back on a couch with his eyes closed and said, "I love her, uncle. How can I harm her?"
"I know you are a good man and just like to act tough in front of others but sotis we act without thinking the consequences," Said Zhang Wei, having sad expressions on his face.
"But she can’t see I am a good man. She has eyes only for him," saying it tears were rolling down from the corners of both eyes.
"She will. Just be patient," saying it Zhang Wei got up from the couch and asked the manager to provide help to get Ming Rusheng out towards his car.
Zhang Wei decided to take Ming Rusheng to his ho instead of Ming Mansion as he didn’t want elder Ming to see him in such bad condition. In a car, on the way to Zhang Wei’s residence, Ming Rusheng was continuously mumbling Jiang Yuyan’s na with tears rolling down from his eyes nonstop.
Once they reach Zhang Wei’s residence, he took Ming Rusheng to the room with the help of his driver. The room, which was specially ant for Ming Rusheng. Zhang Wei never got married so he was alone. He treated Ming Rusheng as his son and when Ming Rusheng was a kid he used to spend most of his ti with his uncle. For Zhang Wei, he was the dicine for his loneliness.
Zhang Wei took him to his bedroom and made him sleep comfortably in a bed. He removed Ming Rusheng’s shoes and sat beside Ming Rusheng to pat Ming Rusheng’s head as feeling bad for him and said, "You won’t be like , Ming Rusheng. I promise you, you will get everything that you desired for."
Saying it he turned around, switched off all the lights except for the night lamp and left the room.
Leaving Ming Rusheng’s room, Zhang Wei went to his bedroom. He straight went to his wardrobe and pulled out one old photo album from the drawer inside. Carrying the album with him, he went to his bed. Sitting on a bed, he opened the album and started to go through all the pictures one by one observing each of them till his heart’s content with a painful smile on his face.
As he was going through the pictures; tears rolled down from his eyes and said, "I miss you, Ming Fangsu. Why did you leave ?"
The whole album was filled with pictures of only Ming Fangsu since she was a teenager girl to a grown-up woman. A pretty girl with a bright smile on her face, a smile that can lt anyone’s heart. That album had all the beautiful monts in her life captured in it.
Zhang Wei, a strong man looked weak when he was going through her pictures with tears rolling down from his eyes. Soon that silent crying converted into a loud one and he lied in a bed, crying and holding that album close to his chest.
