Chapter 1614 Jiang Yuyan's Order

1614 Jiang Yuyan's Order

"She would not only blame herself for Lu Qiang's death, but also blame herself for this situation of yours." Lu Feng continued, "Just as you're scared for her to find out the truth, she has been scared all along too, because she knew it would break you. It wasn't her fault, just as it wasn't your fault. The blame lies with those who caused us harm."

Lu Lijun could only listen, absorbing his brother's words. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

"If you can't handle yourself right now and allow yourself to succumb to guilt and depression, then when she finds out the truth, you won't have the right to console her and tell her it wasn't her fault. You have to stop feeling guilty so that one day, when the moment comes, you can tell her it wasn't her fault either. Just as you discovered the truth, there's a high chance she will too. Jared Magnus won't sit still."

"I won't let him reach her," Lu Lijun declared.

"We have to consider every possibility. The truth is something that can't be hidden for long. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Lijun nodded as Lu Feng wiped tears away from Lu Lijun's cheeks, treating him like that kid Lu Lijun he had always cared for and gave him a comforting hug.

Lu Lijun hugged him back, letting his tears soak into Lu Feng's shoulder. "Brother Qiang would never forgive me for being part of those who took him away from Yuyan."

"You're wrong. Lu Qiang would never think that way. All he would want is your happiness. We know our younger brother could turn the entire world upside down to protect us," Lu Feng replied. "Cry all you want, but be strong after that. Don't let Jared Magnus' plan of breaking you succeed. Come out stronger so you can face him head-on. Can you do that?"

Lu Lijun nodded, and Lu Feng released him from the hug. "I know you can do it. Let's go downstairs and eat together. Her heart must be in her throat, wondering what we're talking about."

She nodded hesitantly. She would have preferred him crying, but this silence and calmness was worrisome. "Once you finish work, come home. I would be waiting for you to eat together," she said. Lu Lijun nodded, "Now, I need to get ready."

She nodded and stood up along with him. She mumbled. "I don't know why I feel like you are with me, but not at the same time."

Lu Lijun heard her and observed her lowered face. He realised his behaviour was worrying him. He wanted to be normal, but for some reason, he could not. All he could do was to comfort her with words, the words that felt empty to him as well. He hugged her, "I am here and will always be here by your side."

Yuyan nodded and finally calmed herself. Soon Lu Lijun left for the office while Jiang Yuyan called San Zemin, "Update me everything about Lu Lijun every fifteen minutes."

"Yes, Boss."

"Also, arrange for me to meet Jared Magnus as soon as possible."

There was a silence in the other side of the line. "San Zemin, did you hear me?" she asked. "Y-Yes, boss," He replied, "But I guess there is no use in meeting him. Lu Lijun is handling everything."

"I need to him and do not let Lu Lijun know about it," she declared, her voice authoritative as if she was still there boss. "If you can't do it, then I will find my own way to meet him."

"No, Boss. I will arrange for you to meet him," he assured and she hung up the call.
