Chapter 53 I Made A Mistake..It's Too Late Now!!

Next Morning...At The Ming Mansion....

A white luxury car arrived at the gate of Ming Mansion and a man in his early fifties walked out of the car. The man was wearing a grey suit with black shoes. He was wearing a spectacle with black frame. He was not too tall but had a good height with a strong build and could be considered as a very good looking man at his age. He looked impressive with his half grey hairs combed back in a perfect hairstyle. He walked inside the mansion with no expressions on his face where a female servant welcomed him.

"Welcome Master Zhang." A servant greeted him while she bowed down in front of him.

"Where is everyone?" He asked in his heavy voice to the servant.

"Everyone just finished their breakfast and went to their respective rooms." Said servant.

"Is my sister in her room?" Asked the man while looking in the direction of the stairs.

"Yes! Young Madam is in her room and young master is in the study." Said servant.

"Hmm!" Then that man walked upstairs and knocked on the door of one of the rooms.

"Come in." A woman's voice came from inside of the room.

Man entered the room and said, "Good morning sister Ming Jie."

Ming Jie was sitting in the chair in her room with her eyes closed while thinking deeply about something. When she heard the voice she opened her eyes and said, "Good Morning! Zhang Wei" Her expressions were still same

Zhang Wei was Ming Jie's younger brother and her only sibling.  He too was one of the famous businessesman in the capital and held a great power in his hands. He had a good political connections too which made him powerful among elites in the capital.

Zhang sat on the couch in the room and asked, "How's everyone?"

"Good! As usual." Ming Jie said with the same serious expressions without looking at him. She was staring at the tree outside of her window and was busy in her own thoughts.

Zhang Wei noticed her serious behaviour and asked, "Are you like this because of the matter between yours and Lu family?"

"You know it better." She said it and gave out a deep sigh.

"I know! Yesterday, That bastared Lu Jinhai celebrated his parent's wedding anniversary in a grand way. Every newspaper is filled with the news of that event. You too must have received the invitation just like me." He asked with bitter expressions on his face.

"Huuu!" She just nodded. She was tired of thinking about the things in the past and didn't have an energy and will to talk much.

"That Lu Jinhai! How dare he send it to us even after committing a sin to our families. Is he trying to show us how happy he is or want to make us forget everything by coming close to us?" He said it in an angry voice.

"You don't have the right to get upset with him. You didn't lose anything." She said it and closed her eyes.

"I didn't lose anything? Really? How can you say that? You know very well that how much I loved Ming Fangsu. Even after her death, I am still in love with her. I didn't think about to get married even once and still living my life with her memories." He got furious to hear those words from his sister and said it in a quite high pitch.

"Lower your voice first." She then paused and said again. "It's not something to brag about. You are paying for your own sins." She said it calmly without getting affected by his angry voice.

"My sin? What did I do wrong? Loving her was the only mistake I made. I know I was wrong at that time but the main reason for everything was that basterd Lu Jinhai. Everything happened just because of him." He said and clutched the handrest of the couch.

"I guess, I don't need to tell you who is responsible for everything." Said Ming Jie.

"I don't care what you think elder sister. For me the only reason for everything was Lu Jinhai and that's the truth. He took away my loved one from me and left me to suffer with the pain for lifetime. I too will make him suffer with the same. He too has to go through the pain of losing someone precious."  He said getting more angry when he saw that his sister was not blaming Lu Jinhai.

After listening his last line, Ming Jie opened her eyes and looked at him furiously and said. "Don't you dare to do anything outrageous otherwise I don't know if I'll be able to keep silent any more."

"I don't care about anything. I lost her and now I don't have anything more to lose. Money and power-I don't need it too. I don't care if I lose it all. All these years, I lived with only one goal and that's to destroy Lu family. I'll do that whatever it will take. I just need my revenge." He said it and got up from his seat to leave the room.

"You...! I am warning you for the last time. Don't dare to touch that family." She said it as much as strength she could gather to raise her voice to stop him.

He stopped in his track facing the door but didn't look back at his sister and said, "Sorry sister! I can't do that." Then he opened the door and left the room in haste.

Ming Jie couldn't say anything further as he left the room before she could stop him. Tears started to roll down from her eyes and said, "I made a mistake. It's too late now." And she leaned back in the chair with her eyes closed. She was not able to hold back her tears and continued crying.

Zhang Wei got out of the mansion with an angry face. He didn't even go to see other Ming family members in their rooms. He sat inside his car and his driver moved the car away from Ming mansion. He held the news paper in his hands which was in his car and tore the page with Lu Family's photograph on it. He then mumbled, "Lu Jinhai! Last time you were lucky to survive from that accident but this time I'll give you the most painful wound in your life. Just wait and watch."

Both Ming Jie and Zhang Wei were unaware that someone was listening to their conversation while standing outside of the room's door.
