Chapter 988 - The Kind Of A Person Lu Qiang Was...

Controlling himself, Jake spoke coldly, "It didn't interest me."

An Tian smirked as he knew he caught the right thing about his brother while Jake averted his sight from An Tian, knowing his brother was so sharp to trap him always.

Before An Tian could say anything, Lu Feng interfered, "Spare them."

Jiang Yang smiled and sided with Lu Feng as he spoke, "Don't bully the kids, An Tian."

Smiling, An Tian nodded, "Then let's talk about something that everyone would like."

Jiang Yang agreed and looked at Jake and Noah, "Don't you want to know how your friend was when he was a kid?"

Jake and Noah looked at Lu Lijun, who didn't look happy to hear it stared at them, saying don't you dare ask it. But the two friends would never do what their friend stopped them from doing it.

"We want to know," both said together.

"From where should we start?" An Tian asked, looking at Lu Feng, "You say something about your brother."

Lu Feng looked at Lu Lijun, who waited for what his brother would say.

"He was always a smart and obedient kid who loved his brother more than anything. Never troubled others for anything..of course.. except for Lu Qiang and me. Always independent from the age when kids would only throw tantrums, isolated himself from others but the ones who were important to him, he would do anything for them. His care was something that not everyone would get. Never forgot his promises, just like Lu Qiang. He is cold, but I know he cares though he would never show..."

"I agree with most of the things, but you can't say he never troubled anyone. I can't forget those days when I was his doctor…" An Tian interrupted.

"Doctors' job is to get troubled by the patients," Jiang Yang added.

The two friends who heard it asked, "Lu Lijun's doctor?" They looked at An Tian and Lu Lijun.

"I was not well when I was a kid," Lu Lijun informed.

"He suffered the trauma," An Tian added.

"What happened?" the friends asked.

Lu Feng explained the kidnapping incident from Lu Lijun's childhood days.

"That's why you never stay in the complete dark place," Noah concluded, feeling bad about what his friend had gone through.

Lu Lijun nodded.

"Why didn't you ever tell us?" Jake asked.

"There was no need," Lu Lijun replied, and the two friends glared at him.

"You should tell us everything from now on," Noah ordered.

"Don't expect him to do it. Keeping things to himself is what he can do best," An Tian commented, and Lu Lijun avoided looking at anyone.

"That's true," Jake commented as others agreed to it too.

"He is like Lu Qiang," Feng added.

An Tian looked at Lu Feng, "You are no different as you keep things to yourself too," he sighed, "These Lu brothers are all the same."

Lu Feng glared at An Tian, "Don't let me start about you and not to forget your brother. I'm sure he is the same."

Feeling like caught, Jake looked the other way while An Tian preferred to change the topic, "For today, let's just talk about the birthday boys, the Lu brothers."

"How was your elder brother, Lu Lijun?" Noah asked.

Lu Lijun stayed silent for a while and spoke, "There can't be anyone like him ever." Saying this much, Lu Lijun stopped.

Those who knew Lu Qiang nodded to it.

Lu Feng continued what Jake and Noah wished to hear, "The person, who thought about others but himself. Whatever trouble he was in, he always acted tough. Only his presence was enough to comfort you even in the worst condition. Always acted cold, but secretly he cared for everyone and protected them…." Lu Feng stopped as he felt emotional, remembering Li Qiang.

"Protected others at the cost of his own life," Jiang Yang added.

The atmosphere turned silent, and Jiang Yang spoke again, "My sister was fortunate to have him by her side. No one can love anyone the way he loved her."

Lu Lijun was silent while Jake and Noah looked at each other as they understood who Jiang Yang was talking about. Again there was a dead silence.

"Is it enough information about your friend," An Tian asked Jake and Noah.

"Not really. Was Lijun always this boring even as a kid?" Noah asked as he thought to lighten the mood.

Lu Lijun glared at him, as Noah called him boring.

"Don't glare at me. You don't know how boring you are," Noah looked at Jake, "Am I right?"

"Hmm," Jake nodded.

"Says who?" Lu Lijun countered, looking at Jake.

"Well, Jake is a little less boring than you," Noah commented, and the two friends glared at him again.

"Wait, I'll tell you something," Jiang Yang interrupted the argument.

Jake and Noah waited for Jiang Yang to speak.

"Lu Lijun was fun as a kid. I remember how he used to tease and annoy Yuyan."

Lu Lijun gulped and looked the other way as if he didn't hear it.

Noah's entire attention shifted to Jiang Yang while Jake looked at Lu Lijun, who looked awkward with the sudden revelation.

Lu Feng and An Tian quietly continued drinking as their sights passed across Lu Lijun.

"President Lu?" Noah asked, looking at Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang nodded, "Other than me; Lu Lijun was the only one who dared to tease and annoy that tigress."

"Really?" Noah asked excitedly, "I mean, I can't believe someone can actually dare to do that with President Lu."

Jiang Yang smiled ear to ear, "Well, in simple terms, these two were like tom jerry. The president Lu you see now, was a different person that you can't even think of."

Saying it, Jiang Yang looked at Lu Lijun, "Do you remember what you used to call her?"

"I don't," Lu Lijun replied. He didn't like where the talk was heading to.

"But I do as I was the one to tell you," Jiang Yang chuckled.

"What?" Noah asked.

"You should respect your boss. Don't ask anything that she wouldn't like you to know," Lu Lijun said coldly, before Jiang Yang would say anything.

It was more like he wouldn't like it if someone called her like that.
