Chapter 874 I Hate Her...

After spending some time with grandma, Lu Feng took Lu Lijun out as he had no work. They had a tour around the city to show Lu Lijun what had changed. Many places they visited where Lu Lijun used to visit with his brothers and recalled those old memories. 

They returned home before dinner. When everyone was present in the dining room, one chair was still empty as the person was not at home.

"Where is Yuyan?" elder Lu asked.

"Father, she would be back late at night," Ning Jiahui informed. 

Elder Lu turned angry, "I clearly said I want her to have dinner with her then…."

"Father, she must have her reasons. We know her schedule for all these years. She would return on her fixed timing," Lu Jinhai interrupted.

"Is it difficult to break the schedule for just one day?" Elder Lu countered as he added, "I will talk to her." 

"No need to say anything to her. She already has too much to deal with and don't trouble her with your tantrums, honey," Grandma Zhao Shuang calmed him down with her sarcastic words.

"Lu Bao would be here too after knowing her siblings are here," Su Hui informed, and it helped to change the topic to the normal one.

"Ask her to come for more days and don't listen to her in-laws if they ask her to come back early. If they do, ask them to talk to me," elder Lu commanded.

Su Hui agreed, "Yes, father."

Lu Jinhai again turned to his daughter, "Lu Lian, have you planned something about what you will do?"

Elder Lu frowned, "Again, the same question….."

"Yes, father. I have planned," Lu Lian interrupted before her grandpa could talk about her wedding.

"May I know what exactly." Lu Jinhai questioned.

"I will start working here. I already got a few work offers, and I will select one of them."

"No need for it," Lu Jinhai's words surprised Lu Lian. "Why, father?"

"Uncle Ming wants you to work in the Ming industries. He knows how well you are doing and admires you."

"Father, I don't want to get work through connections."

"It's not because of our family relationships. Uncle Ming won't ever do that. He can see who is good at their work. He wants you to work there because you are capable," Lu Jinhai countered. 

"Listen to your father. My friend Ming Shihong has a good eye for people. If he chose you, you should feel fortunate," Elder Lu commanded before Lu Lian could say anything further.

"Okay, father," she unwillingly agreed.

Lu Lian looked at her brothers, but they said nothing. Lu Lijun was not aware of anything while Lu Feng had no problem with his sister working in Ming industries.

Now it was Lu Feng's turn to press his temples when elder Lu spoke.

"And what about you, Lu Feng?"

"I'm doing good, grandpa," Lu Feng spoke.

"That I know, CEO Lu, but I'm not asking about it," came the grandpa's sarcastic reply.

Lu Feng looked at his grandfather, and elder Lu spoke, "When will you show us our grand-daughter-in-law? Are you waiting for me to get on my deathbed, and only then will you do it?"

Everyone looked at elder Lu to see what happened to this old man as he became so commanding and demanding.

"Grandpa…"

"Don't give me a diplomatic answer. Give me the result," elder Lu warned.

Grandma gave elder Lu a narrowed eyes look. "Kids are just back, and you already started pressuring them. Stop troubling them, honey?"

Though grandam stopped elder Lu, others were happy that elder Lu asked it and was eager to know it. Su Hui was the most excited person to know it, but her son was stubborn.

Lu Feng gave out a sigh of relief while Lu Lian and Lu Lijun looked at their brother and then to each other as they enjoyed seeing their elder brother so flustered.

Everyone continued talking, teasing and smiling, which reminded Lu Lijun of the old days as he looked at his family members sitting around the dining table. 

'Did he miss all this?' he thought as a light smile painted on his lips. 

It was the first time after so many years that he had this moment and liked it.

-------

At midnight, Lu Lijun couldn't sleep and went to the gallery of his room to get some fresh air. When he stood in the gallery of his room, he saw a car entering the Mansions gate and stopped at the door. 

Lu Lijun continued looking at it to know who it was though he guessed it already. A woman wearing jeans and a simple t-shirt stepped out of the car as she passed the car keys to the servant. 

It was her. Finally, she was here, and he saw her. 

Though the place was brightened with lights, Lu Lijun couldn't see her clearly as she was just below the mansion building, and Lu Lijun could see her head and a side of her face. 

Unknown to him, he focused on her even tiny movements to see if he can get to see her face, but he couldn't and sighed.

He didn't wish to look at her but couldn't stop himself from doing so and continued staring until she entered the mansion. 

Suddenly, he again felt the same as his heart beating faster; he was short for breath. 

Going back to the room, he grabbed the water and emptied the glass down his throat and sat on the couch, leaning back to it, inhaling breathing heavily.

'What the heck. Why am I like this?' he thought and closed his eyes. 

In a while, he heard someone talking and opened his eyes. 

"Are you back?"

"Sorry for not coming early, Mother."

"It's fine. Have you had dinner?"

"Yes, mother."

"Good night."

"Good night, mother."

The conversation finished, and Lu Lijun went to the door in a hurry. He opened it slowly to see outside, but there was no one. He could only see the silhouette of someone going upstairs to the second floor, and he knew who the person was.

He closed the door and stood there for a while as he rested his back on the door and calmed himself down. 

He couldn't understand what was happening to him. Why did her presence or anything related to her affect him like this? 

'I hate her. I don't want to see her. That's why this is happening. I need to go back soon,' he concluded to himself and strode towards the bed but didn't wish to sleep on it. 

He preferred to sleep on the floor because once he shared that bed with her, and that couch was where she used to sit often. 

'I don't want anything that has her presence in it,' Lu Lijun thought and grabbed one cushion from the couch, and lay on the carpet near the bed.

Changing his sides from left to right, Lu Lijun tried to sleep but it was not easy so he finally gave up and continued staring at the ceiling. 

'It must be because I am used to England time.'

Lu Lijun concluded and looked at the clock but even if he was in England at this hour, he would be in deep sleep. Thinking he frowned and closed his eyes as he put one arm over it to cover them.
