Before Jiang Yuyan could understand, Lu Feng hugged her lightly, as he said, "I wish you to be strong always so that you will never give me a chance to do this again. Seeing you weak would only make me do this."
Jiang Yuyan was not ready for this and she never expected Lu Feng to do this. When she was acting all strong, this sudden caring gesture from Lu Feng surprised her and left her mind blank for a while. She stood frozen at her place while listening to Lu Feng as he hugged her and patted her head.
In a while, when Lu Feng let her go, Jiang Yuyan continued looking at him puzzled and surprised, and Lu Feng spoke again while looking back at her and holding her at hands.
"The day will come when you will feel tired of everything and you will want to do nothing but to cry. I wish you to come to me that day and I will be here to accompany your tears."
Jiang Yuyan's eyes turned teary hearing his words and as she looked at him, but her tears stopped at her eyelid because she was controlling herself from crying. Lu Feng touched her one eyelid with his forefinger that made the tear settle at his finger.
Looking at the teardrop at his finger he said, "You need not stop them in front of me." Saying, he moved his sight from his finger to her eyes.
Jiang Yuyan nodded slightly as tears finally rolled down from her eyes as if she had got to hear what she really wanted to. Lu Feng was her friend, but it was the first time after her childhood days she felt that he was someone she could rely on and that someone would be there to support her. He could understand well what she would do after this and he was the one who didn't try to stop her.
Jiang Yuyan wiped her tears and cleared her throat. "I will take a leave now."
Not saying anything, Lu Feng just nodded and Jiang Yuyan left. Once she left, Lu Feng closed his eyes as he exhaled through his mouth. Though he didn't show her, seeing her tears hurt him and made him emotional. He almost thought to hug her tightly to not let her go away from him just to keep her safe and away from all the dangers and the worries but there was nothing he could do to stop her but to support her.

After leaving Lu Feng's apartment, Jiang Yuyan went back to the Lu Mansion as she had to spend some time with Lu Lijun because she would have to make up for the time she would spend away later in the night. On the way, San Zemin asked, "Boss, what should we do about Xi Cheng?"
"First let me deal with the problems in Lu Corporation and later we can use him to set an example for others to show what will happen if they try to mess up with Lu Corporation," Jiang Yuyan replied.
"Hmm!" As San Zemin agreed, Jiang Yuyan spoke again, "Rest assured, he will get the fair share of his punishment, till then get the driver of that truck and that woman in the VIP room. Also, get the information about the person who attached that device to Lu Qiang's car."
Initially, Jiang Yuyan thought to finish everything with the end of Xi Cheng, but as she got to know more things, she felt responsible towards protecting them. Lu Qiang's dreams were her priority now. Getting Lu corporation out of the trouble and getting Lu Lijun at Lu Qiang's position was what she planned, but it was not that easy. She had to plan everything step by step.
"Send me everything related to Lu Corporation," Jiang Yuyan ordered.
Nodding, San Zemin suggested, "I will but it would be better if the boss gets help from Xiao Min as he is aware of everything related to the business as well this side of ours."
"Where is he?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
"He is assisting Mr. Lu Chen in handling the situation in the company."
"Tonight I will meet him at our place," Jiang Yuyan instructed.
"I will pass the message."
Lu Lijun was happy to see Jiang Yuyan home early, and he didn't leave her side even for a moment. San Zemin provided all the information about Lu's corporation to Jiang Yuyan. She spent her time by studying it in Lu Lijun's room while Lu Lijun was doing his stuff.
Lu Lijun missed his school for so many days and that worried Jiang Yuyan. Lu Lijun was playing on his laptop as Jiang Yuyan sat beside him on the couch.
"Seems like an interesting game," Jiang Yuyan commented.
Not saying anything, Lu Lijun shifted the laptop towards her as if asking her to try it herself. Accepting it, Jiang Yuyan tried to play it as she said, "Lu Lijun, how about going to the school from tomorrow?"
Lu Lijun said nothing and his silence worried her. "I am not forcing you. I am just asking if you are ready."
Still, there was no response from him, so finally, Jiang Yuyan stopped playing and looked at him. "I would be happy to see you going to school and I would be even happier seeing you as the best person like your elder brother."
Lu Lijun stared at her for a moment and spoke, "I will."
Jiang Yuyan was happy as he replied to her finally but didn't express it and said normally, "Good. tomorrow I will drop you at the school."
Just the mention of his elder brother was enough for Jiang Yuyan to convince him, though it was the last thing she would want to try it on him. She knew Lu Lijun would do anything for the sake of Lu Qiang.
While going through the information about Lu Corporation, Jiang Yuyan could understand so many things and she realized, studying business management was helping her somewhat to understand the various terms and things. She had left one more year of her university days but she thought to skip it as she didn't have time for it. moreover, she had already studied the entire course before hand so there was no need for her to do so.
