Chapter 849 A Hope For The Miracle

Elder Lu was sitting in the gazebo early morning, where Jiang Yuyan went to accompany him.

"Grandpa, you don't look good these days. Are you fine?"

Jiang Yuyan, who acted cold all the time, looked soft when she came to the old man, worry evident in her eyes.

"Have a seat, dear. Don't worry, I am fine, and as you are here to talk with me, I am even better," said elder Lu as he smiled lightly, but his eyes held the sadness hidden in them.

Jiang Yuyan sat beside elder Lu on the semicircular bench. "I am sorry for being too busy and not giving you much time, grandpa."

Elder Lu looked at her, "Why are you apologizing, dear? I should be the one to do it."

"No, Grandpa…."

"I know it's late, but I am sorry for that day when I couldn't stand by your side. I always said, do whatever you want, and I'll be with you. But when the time came, I couldn't do it, and you had to…"

Elder Lu couldn't talk further as tears rolled down his eyes and throat felt choked.

Knowing what her grandpa meant, Jiang Yuyan held elder Lu's hand to console him, "You were trying to protect me by sending me away, grandpa, and I know it. You wish to send me with my mother because you didn't want me to face any more trouble, so don't blame yourself for caring about me."

"Still, I could have stopped Su Hui...she…"

"At that time, we all were weak because of the incident, and our own pain seems bigger than someone else's. We all lost someone precious to us that made us weak, so no one is to blame. Also, don't blame aunt Su Hui, too, as I am not upset with her anymore."

"But, I am upset with her and won't ever forgive her for this. It's just that there is something I owe to one person that I always bear with everything," elder Lu explained.

"And what you owe to that person isn't it more valuable than other things. That person saved father's life in the past, that's why this entire family exists here," Jiang Yuyan said, referring to the incident when elder Lu's friend saved Lu Jinhai's life at the cost of his own.

Elder Lu nodded, "Hmm!"

"So just forgive aunt Su Hui. She is not a bad woman but one mother who loves her son too much to the extent that she can't see someone else's pain. She loves Lu Feng more than anything that she won't stop her efforts even if he pushes her away, and she becomes the bad woman for others. Knowing how Lu Feng is, he is fortunate to have such a mother how loves him unconditionally. Don't you think so, grandpa?"

Elder Lu agreed, "Hmm, my Lu Feng, He is the brightest star in this family, but hidden behind the dark clouds. I wish him to shine one day as bright as he can."

"He will," Jiang Yuyan assured.

"I am worried about Lu Lijun now. It's been three years and not even once he came back home," said elder Lu, worriedly.

"He is fine, grandpa, and he will be."

"You should have talked to him at least once, Yuyan."

"It might ruin what we have sent him there for," Jiang Yuyan countered.

"I think three years are enough to….."

"He is not like other kids, grandpa," Jiang Yuyan interrupted as she added, "It's my fault as I didn't think about anything before acting thoughtlessly."

"It's okay, everything would be fine," Elder Lu assured.

"Grandpa, I wish Lu Lijun to live a good life as Lu Qiang planned for him."

"He will. Don't forget he is Lu Qiang's brother, so nothing can go wrong."

"I hope so."

Elder Lu thought about something as he said, "It's been years since that incident, and you are still tied to what he left. I wish you to free yourself and live your life."

"For now, I can't, grandpa, as what I am doing is my life now. I don't know other things, and I would be lost," Jiang Yuyan countered.

"Do you plan to spend your life like this. I can't let this happen."

"Once Lu Lijun comes back and takes Lu Qiang's place, I will free myself from everything," Jiang Yuyan assured.

After so long, these both talked like this and felt relieved. Elder Lu always felt guilty for not being able to support Jiang Yuyan, and she felt bad about still being busy and not being able to give time to the person who was important to Lu Qiang.

In Secret Mansion.

"It seems boring when there is nothing much to do," said San Zemin as he sat on the sofa, in the living room of the secret mansion.

"You should be happy that our boss can be at peace and focus on her work or do you wish her to pull out guns and knives?" the butler, Ye Bai asked sarcastically.

"When did I say it...it's just that...."

"Why don't you find a woman and get married?" Ye Bai interrupted him.

"It's not meant for a person like me," San Zemin countered.

"Why not, you are still young unlike me," Ye Bai asked.

"I am not interested," came the firm reply from the stubborn man.

"Get out of the past already and move ahead, San Zemin."

"It's not possible, Ye Bai. When you lose your own people, it hurts even more and I don't have to tell you this as you also...." San Zemin stopped as he knew they both stepped on the hurting topic and Ye Bai too didn't drag it.

Years continued to pass by, with everything continuing to be the same.

Jiang Yuyan had nothing else but business to look after and became one of the most powerful person in the business world. Just like Lu Qiang, people scared her too and never tried to create trouble for Lu Corporation.

As there were no dangerous troubles, the other side of her world was calm and they had a few works to do other than spying on a few nasty people.

Lu Feng was far away, making his own life and dealing with the surprises coming in his way.

Lu Lijun continued to study and miss certain someone without realizing he missed her.

Jiang Yang hardly left the hospital that worried his parents, and he had no updates about what Nicky was doing and where she was. It was what he chose, but could never forget her.

The only hope that left was to happen a miracle and bring back everything to life but no one knew how long it would take.
