"Leave it to the future, sister Jiahui. Yuyan had taken this step so she must have thought about everything. Somewhere my heart trusts my daughter," said Mo Ruolan.
Nodding, Ning Jiahui spoke, "I trust her too and I can't blame her for anything as she had been left with no choice and we all know how much she loves Lu Qiang. I feel sorry for her. When these were the moments when she should have been happy like any other married woman, she has to go through difficulties again and again."
It was a relief for Mo Ruolan that Ning Jiahui didn't hate Jiang Yuyan after what she did and gave out a sigh of relief. Now the only thing left was how to solve this messed up situation.

In the elder's room…
"Are you not going to say anything," Grandma asked.
"What is there to say when it's too late to change the things," spoke elder Lu, who was sitting in the chair.
"Do you approve the wedding?" Grandma asked.
"It's not about me approving anything. It's about what and why Yuyan did it and my heart wants to trust her decision," elder Lu said.
Agreeing, grandma said, "I am thinking the same. What had happened suddenly that she did it? And the way she looked today was totally different from how she looked yesterday."
"Hmm!" Elder Lu agreed.
Both the elders were in deep thoughts and decided to wait to get the answers.

The whole day passed by, no one talked to anyone and the entire house was dead silent. Mo Ruolan received the calls from her husband and the son, but she couldn't dare to tell them what had just happened.
In the evening, Lu Feng came back. As he entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw Lu Lian was sitting alone outside of the side house in one corner on the steps where no one could see her easily. Though it was the evening, the dim light from the lamp above couldn't hide what she was doing.
Lu Feng observed her and noticed she was crying. He went to her and asked straightaway while sitting beside her on the steps, "What happened?"
Lu Lian didn't realize when Lu Feng came and it startled her. Wiping her tears, she shook her head as saying- nothing.
"If you won't tell me then how am I going to help my sweet sister?" Lu Feng insisted.
Lu Lian couldn't stop her tears and questioned, "Why all this is happening in our family? How happy we were!"
"I know but we have to be strong now. Did something happen when I was not around?" Lu Feng asked as he could sense it from the way Lu Lian was crying.
"Hmm! Where were you, brother? If you were here, it wouldn't have happened," asked Lu Lian.
Lu Feng was not home since the previous day when he left it after arguing with his mother, but he didn't expect something would happen in his absence.
Looking at his sister with worried expressions, Lu Feng asked, "What happened?"
Lu Feng felt his heart suddenly pounding faster to think what sad news waiting for him now as these past few days were nothing but the disastrous ones and full of sad news. He left home in protest to his mother and thought his absence might change the situation as Yuyan won't have to marry him, but he never thought something shocking would be there waiting for him.
"Yuyan got married," Lu Lian replied, and it shocked Lu Feng to his bones and he felt like the floor below his feet slipped away.
"What?" he exclaimed loudly. Holding Lu Lian by her shoulders tightly, he asked, "H- How and with whom? Tell me fast," he looked anxious and worried.
"Lu Lijun!"
The next reply from her shocked him even more.
"What?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yes," she confirmed.
Lu Feng let go of Lu Lian and asked, as he couldn't believe it, "How can this be? He is a kid. This is not possible and allowed even."
Lu Lian explained to him everything that she witnessed in the morning.
Inhaling deeply to calm himself down and holding his head, his fingers buried in hair, he asked, "Where is she?"
"In her room," Lu Lian replied.
Getting up from the stairs, Lu Feng straightaway went to Jiang Yuyan's room and Lu Lian followed him, feeling worried.
When Lu Feng reached Jiang Yuyan's room, he waited for a few moments to calm down and knocked on the door of the room. Though he looked calm from outside, there was a storm inside his mind. Lu Lian stopped just behind him, a few steps away.
Jiang Yuyan opened the door, she saw Lu Feng standing there and her sight followed Lu Lian who was standing behind him. Jiang Yuyan understood why Lu Feng was there, but it didn't worry her.
Lu Feng thought when he will see Jiang Yuyan, she would look devastated and broke, but it was totally the opposite. She was calm as if nothing had happened.
"Lu Lian, stay with Lu Lijun till I come back," Jiang Yuyan instructed before Lu Feng could ask her anything and he understood she wanted to talk alone.
Lu Lian nodded and followed Jiang Yuyan inside the room. Picking up her cellphone, Jiang Yuyan went to Lu Lijun who was playing games on the laptop.
"Lu Lijun. I will be back in sometime. Be good and be with Lu Lian," Jiang Yuyan instructed and Lu Lijun nodded as usual, not asking her where she was going or anything.
Getting out of the room, Jiang Yuyan closed the door and asked, "Can we go somewhere away from here?"
The moment Lu Feng saw her, he wanted to bombard her with so many questions but he couldn't do it but to follow her leads.
Nodding, Lu Feng took Jiang Yuyan to the one side of the huge courtyard on the other side of the garden, which was deserted and away from the main and the side houses.
