To Love You Again

Chapter 131 - A man's back

"Young Master, do you want me to investigate that girl?" The butler beside him asked. The butler meant to say was to investigate the two's relationship.

Lu Jin's dark hair was hiding his left eye. His other eye that was exposed glinted with deep thoughts and concealed wisdom.

"No need. That girl meant nothing to him." He tilted his head while his long pale fingers cupped his chin.

It's obvious that his younger brother was just being polite towards the girl. He knew what Lu Yin Ze was thinking of just by watching his expression and action. Even they have some distance, he could observe based on Lu Yin Ze's gesture that the girl he was talking about was not close to him. And it looks like his younger brother was not interested in the girl either.

But why Lu Yin Ze entertained the girl and even dance with her? Then in a moment, reject the girl's outright action of being intimate with him? Why Lu Yin Ze did not reject the girl immediately? But acting so polite and give patience like the girl was some precious guest? But there are only a few people who could they be so polite with and entertain with their status.

Was it because of the girl's identity?

"Huo, do you know that girl?"

"She's from the second branch of Xiong family, Xiong Wuyue."

'A second branch.'

As he thought the girl has a lower status than Lu Yin Ze.

'Then maybe..that girl has connections to some people that dear to Lu Yin Ze?'

It was plausible.

Based on his understanding of Lu Yin Ze, his younger brother was regarding relationsh.i.p.s highly. That's why his younger brother was hurt immensely when the people around him betrayed him. Like him. Their relationship now was irreparable.

Lu Yin Ze cut his thoughts when it wondered about their personal conflict.

For now, he arrived at this conclusion. All he needed to look at was the common people at Lu Yin Ze's side and Xiong Wuyue's side.

He took a step forward and followed the trails that Lu Yin Ze left.

He still has a present to give.

*******

Lu Yin Ze walked deeper into the garden.

He was disappointed. It seems like that dear cousin of Xiong Zhi has a scheming heart. They only met once, just today, but the girl acted intimate and even use his politeness to her advances. They only knew of each other surnames and the girl acted like she was ready to offer her heart and body to him. For what reason? It was clear because he was a Lu. Any relationship results from that kind of scheme would be bound to be destroyed and it brought disasters to the people who were involved.

Besides, he despised this kind of thing. So Lu Yin Ze crossed out Xiong Wuyue in his mind. He would just treat her as his friend's cousin out of politeness. In the future, he needs to avoid her.

It was the first day of announcing his presence to the business world. His birth in the highest of society. And he was already scheming against. It seems like he would encounter more of this in the future.

His mind wandered about his future as he walked.

Suddenly his eyes had a glimpsed of a blue dress in the dim part of the garden. There was a fountain at the front so he could not see well if there was really a person behind it.

'Is it Xiong Zhi?'

The blue ocean dress was the same color Xiong Zhi has. He was about to step forward to that direction when a deep cold voice sounded behind him.

"You've grown a lot, Yin."

Lu Zin Ye's feet halted.

This voice.

This cold voice that has no ripple of any emotion. The voice that he hadn't heard for a long time. And he wished to not be heard of anymore.

'What..is he doing here?'

Lu Yin Ze knew who was that man who owned that voice. How could he? If he was the same man that tormented him in that prison. Who gave him poison every day? The same man whom he trusts and looks up to then broke it ruthlessly by that person to pieces and scattered its ashes into the ocean. Never to be retrieved again.

His anger, his rage, his heartache, resurfaced and flooded into his being.

If the mere mention of that person made his emotion unstable what's more of meeting him?

His back covered with cold sweat. He clenched his hand and bite his lips hard. To suppress all the pent-up emotions inside of him. He was shivering. But he keeps it. He would not allow the man to see how affected he was by his presence. Lu Yin Ze's eyes were red by suppressing his emotion. He wanted to scream at him. To go away. To tell him how a demon he was. How he breaks his trust. How he betrayed him. But he kept it. He did not look back. Nor he talked. He was afraid that if he speaks, the emotion he kept holding would flow out from his voice.

The man behind him was silent as well.

"Father, let me come here to give this to you. Your present." Lu Jin threw a small box with the size of a palm to Lu Yin Ze's back.

The box touched Lu Yin Ze's rigid back and fell to the ground. It looks like the box was tightly sealed. It was perfectly fine.

Lu Yin Ze did not move nor glanced at the box.

Lu Jin stayed for more seconds. Then he turns his back as well.

"Happy birthday, Little Yin."? He was about to walk when Lu Yin Ze finally speak.

"You-"

Lu Jin stopped. He was used to being called 'older brother' by this kid. But after 'that' day. He never heard of it from his anymore. He expected it though.? Lu Jin turned to Lu Yin Ze.

Lu Yin Ze was facing him now. His eyes were red with a fury that even tears were threatening to come down. He was still clenching his fist.

"I promise. I destroy you and 'that' man."

Lu Jin meets his fury gaze head-on. There was still no ripple in those dark eyes.

"I'll be waiting then."

Then he turned his back and walked away. His butler still following around.

After two steps, Lu Jin's cold face finally cracked. A sneer comes out from his lips. His eyes were cold but there's something behind them.

"You've grown. But you never change."

The look Lu Yin Ze gave to him was overlapping the look that Lu Yin Ze has when he was six. The young Lu Yin Ze was mad at him because of some toy he broke. His eyes were mad with rage that he cried.

Lu Jin remembered that scene when he saw the mad face of his little brother.

Tsk.

'He was still a child.'

Suddenly he felt a gaze on his back. He swiftly turned around.

A girl on a blue ocean dress run towards Lu Yin Ze who was kneeling at the ground. She was not looking to his direction nor her butler. They are both comforting Lu Yin Ze who keeps punching his chest.

Lu Jin squinted his eyes. It looks like his coward brother acted up again.

'He is really weak as a baby chicken.'

Just simple taunting from him, his brother looked like he was about to die. What about the promise then? Look like he was bound to be disappointed.

But Lu Jin stayed where he was, twenty steps away from them. Until Lu Yin Ze condition stabilized that he tore his gaze away from that weak brother of his and observe the other two people. The Butler was left beside Lu Yin Ze and girl was running towards the dancing area.

He was sure he felt a gaze earlier.

Was it the girl?

Or the butler?

"Young Master, it looks like the staff and your grandfather are coming here." Butler Huo said as he checked his phone.

"Is that so?" Lu Jin finally turned his back and walked away. If his grandfather found him, there would be war here and then.

******

Lu Yin Ze felt suffocated. He felt like there was so much air yet he was gasping for breath.

'Shit.'

His anxiety attack was acting up again. Lu Yin Ze cursed himself for being this way. Yet he did not calm down.

He kneeled on the ground as the strength was leaving him. He punched his chest a few times so he could get rid of whatever heaviness that was on his chest. He was like being choked and something was clogged in his throat.

'Shit! Am I going to die like this?! I'm really weak..'

Lu Yin Ze teared up from suffocation and from this helpless situation.

He hadn't done anything yet.

He was just freed. There are a lot of things he wanted to do.

It was not yet accomplished.

He couldn't die. Especially, not in this way. Such humiliation if he die like this.

'Anyone...anyone..'

"H-help..." It comes out as a whisper to him.

Suddenly a soft cold hand patted his back. Helping him to laid on the ground completely.

The scent of that person was familiar to him.

"Linfeng. Assist him first. I'll notify the staff."

Linfeng took Xiong Zhi's position and pressed some acupuncture points to Lu Yin Ze. He guided Lu Yin Ze to breathe in rhythm.

Xiong Zhi runs with all her might towards the dancing area. But before that, she took one glimpse at the man who was now walking far away from them.

A man's back whom she finds strikingly familiar.
