Chapter 881 In The Office

When Lu Lijun and Lu Feng entered the living room, Lu Feng tried not to go to others as he reeked alcohol, but who could stop others from calling him to them.

"Lu Feng, were you two out of the home?" Lu Chen asked.

Lu Feng bowed a little to greet everyone and cleared his throat, "We were at An Tian's place."

"Both brothers are together after long. Let them be. Don't question them as they are not kids now," Grandma Zhao Shuang instructed.

"Apology, mother," Lu Cheng spoke.

Grandma Zhai Shuang was just happy with the fact that her grandkids were finally home, and it was more than enough.

Lu Lijun too bowed to greet them, and both brothers stepped towards the staircase. Just then, Ning Jiahui, who came to the living room, called, "Lu Lijun."

Lu Lijun stopped and turned to look at his mother, and she replied, "I have prepared another room for you. Your things are shifted there, so you can use it now."

"Which one?" Lu Lijun asked.

"The room on the second floor next to Lu Qiang's room," Ning Jiahui answered.

Nodding, Lu Lijun left to go upstairs while Lu Feng already disappeared to go to his room.

The room on the second floor was meant for Lu Lijun since the Lu Mansion was built, but being a kid, he was sometimes scared to be there alone, so they gave him a room on the first floor, next to his parents.

When Jiang Yuyan came to stay in the Lu Mansion in the past, that room was given to her but after her marriage with Lu Qiang, the room was empty again.

Both brothers had the best and most spacious rooms in the mansion, and finally, Lu Lijun would use it.

Stepping on the stairs to the second floor, Lu Lijun thought so much time passed since he had been to this floor. He remembered when he used to go to his elder brother and barge into his room without any care.

How pleasant those days were and how everything changed that he felt uncomfortable entering the same floor.

Reaching the second floor, Lu Lijun stood near the staircase as he looked at the long corridor in front of him. It ended at Lu Qiang's room door, and Lu Lijun continued looking at it, remembering those days, as he took slow steps to go towards it.

Lu Lijun remembered each different memory with each step and walked towards the room as if he was in a daze.

He remembered how he barged into the room without even knocking into it, how he dragged his elder brother out of the room by holding his hand, to take him out, how he got upset with his brother and stood outside his room waiting for him to come back and so on….

Not realizing, Lu Lijun ended up standing in front of Lu Qiang's room and put his hand on the door handle to open the door. Before he could realize what he was doing, the door opened, but it was not Lu Lijun who did it.

Feeling puzzled and shocked, Lu Lijun retreated his hand from the door and saw Jiang Yuyan standing in front of him. He could only stare at her, not knowing what to say or how to explain why he was there.

Jiang Yuyan was ready to go downstairs after getting ready in her office attire. Not expecting someone standing outside, she opened the door only to get a surprise.

Looking at startled Lu Lijun, who stared at her like he was in a daze, Jiang Yuyan asked, "Do you need something?"

He came back to his senses and stepped back as his startled self turned to the cold one, "No," and he turned to leave.

"Are you here because you missed Lu Qiang?" she asked as the reason was clear, it was his elder brother's room.

Lu Lijun halted in his tracks, but didn't turn to look at her and replied coldly, "Other than him, there is no one I will miss."

Ignoring it, Jiang Yuyan instructed, "The room is still the same, and his things are kept just like that. You can go inside."

She stepped ahead to go downstairs, and Lu Lijun continued looking at her retreating back until she disappeared from his sight.

What exactly he felt at the moment he didn't know but could feel heavy in his chest, and that uneasy feeling wouldn't let him talk to her nicely.

To him, it looked like when he was away, it didn't matter to her, and now he was back; he is nobody for her. This feeling he hated it and angered him.

He turned to go to his elder brother's room as it was the place where he could feel the presence of his brother.

As Jiang Yuyan informed him, the room was still the same even after so many years. Everything was kept just as it was in the past, and one could feel Lu Qiang still used this room. He was not there, but his presence never left the room, and it's all thanks to Jiang Yuyan, who never let anyone move anything in that room.

Lu Lijun looked around the room only to remember more things as the blurred images from the past kept flashing in front of his eyes.

Though it was Jiang Yuyan's room now, he didn't hesitate to be there as he could see nothing other than his brother. Going to the bedside table, Lu Lijun picked up the photo frame that had his picture with Lu Qiang and continued looking at it.

His sight followed the wardrobe, and then he looked at the winter coat still hung inside it that belonged to Lu Qiang.

'Nothing changed.'

He thought and went to the wardrobe to check that winter coat. If it was winter, he might have put it on and felt his brother was with him, but he just stared at it and turned.

Leaving Jiang Yuyan's room, he went to his new room. It was prepared according to his liking just in a day by his mother. It was spacious and had everything he might need.

He knew it belonged to Jiang Yuyan before, but he never came to this room when she used to be there, so he had no idea what had changed and how everything looked.

On the breakfast table, everyone waited for Lu Lijun.

"I want you to come with me to the office today," Lu Jinhai instructed.

Lu Lijun nodded, "But I didn't bring suitable clothes with me."

All Lu Lijin brought with him was the pair for some casual clothes as he planned to go back soon and didn't bother to pack anything more than needed.

"Don't worry. You are there just to visit the office, so there is no need to be formal," Lu Jinhai commented.

For Lu Jinhai, Lu Lijun agreeing to come with him was more than enough for him.

Last time when he asked, Lu Lijun straightaway said no, so Lu Jinhai was already skeptical about him agreeing this time.

Lu Lijun wore a T-shirt and casual but decent black jacket over it with jeans and looked fine to visit the office.

--------

Lu Corporation.

Two cars stopped in front of the office building. Jiang Yuyan and Lu Jinhai stepped out of the car as their assistants waited for them. Lu Lijun stepped out of his father's car, and it surprised the assistants.

When they entered the building, like every day, everyone presented there bowed to the Chairman and President, but today they noticed one more person with them.

A handsome young man who looked like the previous president of this company, then who could he be other than the fourth young master.

Everyone guessed it as the young man walked side by side with the Chairman and the president, and only the family member had an authority to do so.

No one could move their sights from Lu Lijun as they wished to see him. Once they entered the elevator and were out of the sights from employees, everyone talked about it.

They heard somehow that the fourth young master was back, but no one knew how he looked. They could see he was no less than the previous president, the third young master of the Lu Family. This ordinary day in the office turned into a special one as they witnessed their future boss who would handle this company soon.

---------

Jiang Yuyan went to her office while Lu Jinhai took Lu Lijun to his office. Lu Lijun was in his father's office after so long and had no such memories as he always spent his time in lu Qinag's office whenever he was there.

Lu Jinhai introduced him about few things going on in the company, thinking it's good to prepare him early, and Lu Lijun could see his father's intentions but kept silent, not willing to spoil his father's mood at the start of the day.

"There is a meeting in ten minutes, I hope you won't mind joining it," Lu Jinhai asked, and as usual, Lu Lijun agreed.

They went to the meeting room where everyone was waiting for Mr. Chairman and as everyone was aware of the fourth young master's presence in the company.

Entering the room, Lu Jinhai sat in his chair at the one and of the long rectangular table and Xiao Dong asked Lu Lijun to take the chair on his father's right but Lu Lijun preferred to sit in the chairs arranged near the wall behind his father.

Just then the door of the room opened and Jiang Yuyan entered the room and everyone except for Chairman stood up to greet her. Not reacting to any of their greetings, Jiang Yuyan straightaway went to sit on her chair that was exactly opposite to Lu Jinhai, at the other end of the table.
