Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1114 - Seeing Him



Chapter 1114 - Seeing Him

Lu Jinhai came to Lu Lijun's office just before the office hours ended.

Noah and Lu Lijun stood up to greet him.

When the two thought Lu Jinhai would talk about the second project, they heard something else.

"Don't be late tonight. I wish you to have dinner with the family," Lu Jinhai instructed. "Since the last two weeks, you have been out."

"I will," Lu Lijun agreed and Lu Jinhai left, not mentioning the lost project even once.

"Chairman Lu sure loves you a lot or he trusts your abilities more than anything," Noah commented.

"It's more like even if I fall in deep shit, he would want me to get out of it on my own," Lu Lijun replied.

"That's even better," Noah commented and asked, "By the way why didn't you go home?"

"I went."

"I mean…" Noah sighed. "You know what I mean."

"I don't," Lu Lijun busied himself at work, brushing off his friend.

"Really?" Noah gave him a mocking look. "Did you spend your time staring at someone else's home till late at night?"

"Not everyone is fortunate enough like you to have that person with you the entire night." Lu Lijun countered.

Noah chuckled. "What are you saying, man? I haven't met Nicole for the past few weeks because of all this work."

"You love to play ignorant. Stop questioning me or I would say it directly that you might not like," Lu Lijun warned. "Let's leave early today."

Noah could only nod to it and the two left after tidying up their stuff as they entered the elevator.

Lu Lijun spoke. "We can't leave tonight for England."

Noah agreed, "There's still a lot to do. It's taking much more time than we thought. No wonder it's a tough one."

"Tomorrow Jake will be with us to work on it."

"Hmm, it would be a great help," Noah agreed. "We need to think of something that would make it different and stronger."

Lu Lijun exhaled and ran his hand through his hair as they turned messy. He too looked worried about it. "We will."

"Or Mr. Wen is there to create more troubles later."

"We can't let it happen. I don't want her to…." The elevator stopped and so did Lu Lijun as they reached the ground floor.

The door opened and Lu Lijun didn't complete his line.

They stepped out and Noah spoke. "Don't worry. We can manage it."

---------

Lu Lijun went home and had dinner with the family. No one talked about work and had a peaceful family time dinner. They didn't wish to pressurize Lu Lijun by bringing anything that would affect him.

After dinner, Lu Lijun sat with his grandpa in the garden.

"What are you thinking about, Lu Lijun?" Grandpa asked.

Lu Lijun, who looked lost in thoughts all the time, looked at his grandpa, "Grandpa!"

"Hmm?"

"If we do something, when should we feel we did well and it was surely worth our efforts? How can one decide if he has got true success?" Lu Lijun asked.

Elder Lu thought for a moment and spoke, "Whatever you do should make everyone around you happy and not just only you. The success you get should benefit the ones who need it the most. That's how we can say we have done something worthwhile. While living our life in comfort, we forget others."

Lu Lijun nodded lightly as he got the answers to his questions. "Thank you, grandpa."

Elder Lu chuckled. "What's there to thank me?"

"Grandpa always has an answer to all of our questions," said Lu Lijun.

"Well, It's good then. This way I can at least help you though I don't know what exactly you thanked me for and why you asked."

The two sat there for a while and elder Lu spoke. "Did you talk to Yuyan?"

Lu Lijun shook his head.

"She is not the kind of person who would be upset with you because of breaking engagement so don't feel down. She is not well so it was right for her to stay away for a while."

Lu Lijun could say nothing as he couldn't say a real thing to his grandpa.

"I'll go see her soon. Would you like to come with me?" Elder Lu asked.

He looked at his grandpa in surprise. "Can I?"

"I want my grandson to be my driver," elder Lu smiled.

"I will," said Lu Lijun as the two sat there quietly for a while more.

"What are you two talking about?" Lu Lian came there with Lu Bao.

"Nothing much," Grandpa replied. Lu Bao sat in one chair while Lu Lian looked at Lu Lijun. "Would you like to walk with me?"

Lu Lijun stood up and the two walked towards the gazebo.

"How's work going?" Lu Lian asked.

"It's fine."

"Are you upset about losing two projects?" Lu Lian asked.

"No!"

"Then, all good."

Lu Lijun gave her a doubtful look and she asked, "What?"

"Now I'm sure my elder sister took after our father," Lu Lijun replied as he smiled lightly.

"Why so?"

"Father asked me the same thing and when I said No, he replied the same."

"Because we are good as long as you are. Those projects are secondary," Lu Lian added.

Lu Lijun could only hear it silently as he could see how much his family supported him and didn't question him anything.

"I went to see Yuyan today," Lu Lian informed and Lu Lijun looked at her. Finally, there was someone who could tell him how she was.

"How is she?" He asked.

"She is fine now. Her parents are here and it's good she can spend some time with them. Before she was so busy to even meet her own parents."

"When is she returning?" Lu Lijun asked.

"Not sure and I didn't ask."

"You should go meet her. If you can, apologize to her for creating troubles for her when she didn't wish you to agree to the engagement. In the end, you proved her right."

"I will."

Lu Lian looked at him smiling pleasantly and messed up his hair like how she used to do when he was a kid. "You are the sweetest when you are obedient."

Lu Lijun set his hair back silently.

"You didn't get angry when I did this with your hair. When you were a kid, only Yuyan was allowed to do it," Lu Lian brought out the old memory.

Lu Lijun smiled lightly and nodded, "Hmm." He missed those days and wanted them to be back.

When everyone went to sleep, Lu Lijun couldn't sleep. He stepped out of the mansion and drove away in his car at a full speed. As Usual, he went to Jiang Residence and stood there looking at a certain location, high up in the tower. This time fortunately the lights there looked on.

"She is still awake," he thought and continued to stare at it.

-------

Inside Jiang Residence…

"Would you like to have ice cream?" Jiang Yang asked his sister as they sat in the living room.

Jiang Yuyan nodded. Jiang Yang checked the refrigerator and the ice cream pack was almost empty.

"We need to get another one," he informed and spoke, "How about we go out?"

"At this hour?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"Is there any particular fixed hour to eat ice cream?" Jiang Yang asked and instructed, "Get up," and walked towards the door.

"Let me change at least," she said, looking at herself as she wore a T-shirt and shorts.

"You don't need to act as President Lu. Just be my little sister," said Jiang Yang as he returned and dragged her away holding her hand.

The two stepped out and got into the car. Just as the car drove out of the gate of the tower, Jiang Yuyan noticed a familiar figure standing on the other side of that wide multiple-lane road in front of the tower. Even the car was familiar and she recognized who the person was. He was looking up towards the building and he didn't know what was going around.

The car turned and Jiang Yuyan saw him through the side mirror.

"What happened?" Jiang Yang asked, sending sudden silence around his sister.

"N-nothing," Jiang Yuyan replied and continued looking at Lu Lijun through the side mirror till they took a turn.

'Why is he here?' She thought.
