Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 884 Nothing But Just A Responsibility...

Jiang Yuyan looked at the file in Mr. Yu’s hand, "This might help you change your daughter’s decision."

Mr. Yu bowed to her, feeling overwhelmed with the thought of how his boss wished to help him and left, showing his gratitude.

The file was given to him by Xiao Min which had the evidence about how the son of that bankrupt company’s owner deceived Mr. Yu’s daughter intending to use her father and his position to get an advantage from Lu corporation.

Lu Lijun heard the conversation between Jiang Yuyan and Mr. Yu, and understood the scenario, but didn’t look at them or react.

Once Mr. Yu left, the two left alone in the office. Lu Lijun turned and stepped towards the door to leave, but Jiang Yuyan called him as he passed ahead of where she sat.

"Lu Lijun."

Lu Lijun stopped when he was just a few steps away from the door but didn’t ask why she called.

"Have a seat," she instructed, sensing he stop but didn’t look at him.

"Unless it’s something important," he declared, still not turning to look at her.

"For me it is," she said.

"I care only for my opinion," he countered.

"Opinion should be made after listening," she countered back.

Lu Lijun finally turned and sat on the couch opposite her as he stared at her.

Both of their sights met, which looked devoid of any emotions, but lay underneath no one could see.

Lu Lijun got used to her presence now instead of feeling anxious over it and didn’t try to avoid her.

Jiang Yuyan looked like he was just her responsibility that she wanted to fulfill in all ways possible.

Looking at her, Lu Lijun waited for her to talk. It would be the first time after so many years; they would talk to each other like this.

"Congratulations on your graduation," she said.

"Hmm."

For him, there was nothing to talk about. He could only think if she wanted to wish him, why didn’t she come there or why didn’t she even call him. He felt hurt, but words couldn’t come.

"Thank you for doing your best and making us all proud," she added.

Her words hurt him even more. He felt like saying so many things and could feel he would burst out his anger on her but swallowed it and didn’t let it show in his face.

"How can I let my elder brother be disappointed as I am nothing but one responsibility that elder brother left for you all."

Came the sarcastic reply from a cold and hurt man, and Jiang Yuyan could clearly understand the meaning.

Jiang Yuyan knew he was hurt and why not, as he had a valid reason for it. She, too, didn’t have any other option at that time but to act cold with him.

"Is there anything else?" he asked.

"I want you to assist me with one project," she offered.

"I have booked my flight tickets to go back," Lu Lijun informed and stood up as he left the office.

Xiao Min knocked on the door and entered the office where he saw his boss sitting on the couch, immersed in thoughts.

"Boss, fourth young master left the office," Xiao Min informed.

"Hmm."

"He refused to get a car and left hiring the cab," Xiao Min informed.

"Hmm."

Xiao Min didn’t hold back, seeing his boss worried and asked, "Is there something that’s bothering, boss?"

Jiang Yuyan stood up from the couch and went to sit on her chair as she commented, "He took after his stubborn brother, what else can be there?"

Xiao Min understood.

"Get me the latest project file," she instructed.

"Did he agree to assist the boss on this project?" Xiao Min asked as he put the file in his hands on the table.

"Do you think it’s easy?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"No."

In An Tian’s home...

An Tian came out of his room and saw Jake was sitting on the sofa, lying back as he closed his eyes.

"You seem tired after traveling in haste and overnight journey," An Tian asked, going towards the kitchen.

Jake opened his eyes and looked at his brother, "Which one is my room?"

The one next to Noah room," An Tian replied, signaling towards the two doors which were visible from the living room.

Jake knew which room Noah went to, so he understood which one belonged to him and got up from the sofa only to hear his brother again.

"Seems like my brother missed me so much."

Jake stopped and gave his brother a narrowed eyes look, "You know why I am here."

"What’s the use of the person who should know it, is not aware of it?"

"I don’t care."

"Will see."

"I regret having a psychologist brother," frowning, Jake grabbed his bag and went to the room that meant for him.

When Jake entered the room, he saw the room was ready the way he liked, as if his brother already prepared it for him. To check something, he opened his wardrobe just to see everything he needed or wanted to have in his wardrobe was present there.

It was not like he stayed there to have it all, but he was not surprised and went towards the room door to peek out of it to see his brother.

"You knew I would be here, right?" Jake asked.

"Isn’t it so obvious?" An Tian countered, and Jake slammed the door, while An Tian smiled.

Noah came out of the room and saw An Tian arranging the breakfast on the table. Noah went to him, and Jake, too, came out of the room.

Pressing the backside of the neck with his hands, Noah moved his nake and spoke, "Aaa... Even after soaking in the hot water bathtub, this body ache won’t go away."

Jake, who just came out of the room, stared at Noah, who stood facing his back to Jake. Jake observed Noah head to toe when he heard Noah was soaking in the bathtub a while ago.

Noticing it, An Tian gave Jake a teasing look as he could see Jake standing behind Noah, some distance away. Jake immediately averted his sight, cursing himself in mind about where his thoughts just wandered around.

An Tian let go of his brother and shifted his attention to Noah as he sat on the chair around the dining table.

"Let’s have breakfast," An Tian instructed, and the two joined him.

Seeing Noah still pressing his neck, An Tian spoke, "The entire night you slept in an uncomfortable position, so that’s the reason."

"Hmm, how could I sleep like that?" Noah mumbled.

"How could you drink like that to sleep like a horse, not knowing where you were?" Jake commented.

"None of your business," Noah retorted.

"Eat, or food would be cold," An Tian instructed to stop them arguing further.

While eating, Noah had sauce on his chin that he didn’t realize. Jake pulled out the tissue paper and dabbed on Noah’s chin that surprised him.

It was not soft at all, but Jake almost did it like slapping Noah’s chin that angered Noah.

"Can’t you even eat properly?" Jake commented.

"However, I eat; it’s nothing to do with you and stop treating me like your woman. First, you checked my burnt hand as if I am a delicate woman, and now this."

His words were unexpected for Jake, especially when Noah said the treating like a woman part, and Jake kept quiet.

An Tian sighed inside and spoke, "Noah, when will you start working at Lu Corporation?

Jake looked at his brother questioningly, to which Tian nodded lightly and then looked at his friend, "Does Lu Lijun know you will work there?"

"Hmm."

"What did he say?" Jake asked.

"You can guess what he must have said as you know everything about him," Noah replied and focussed on his face.

"So, are you working there?"

"Hmm."

Noah nodded, and Jake kept quiet only to hear Noah again, "Won’t you ask me to listen to Lu Lijun and not to work there?"

"It’s your life. It’s up to you to decide," Jake answered.

"Thank god you at least have that much brain," Noah commented.

Jake didn’t stop Noah as he thought it was the time for Noah to know everything about Lu Lijun, and it would be better for three of their friendship.

As instructed by Lu Jinhai and Elder Lu, Lu Lian had to visit the Ming industries office unwillingly. She tried to avoid it all way possible, but when elder Lu said his friend Ming Shihong would be waiting for her, she couldn’t say no.

Standing in front of the Ming industries corporate building, which was one fine example of the great architecture model, she scanned it up and down.

Sighing at her situation annoyingly, she thought, ’Once I had decided not to step in this place ever, but what bad misfortune I have written to end up here like this.’

Ming Lan entered the office building and stepped towards the reception as she remembered the first time she came to this place and mumbled, ’That arrogant man, I hope I won’t see him today at least.’

"Ms. Lu."

Someone called her, and she turned to look at the person who bowed to her.

"I am Mr. Ming Rusheng’s assistant. I have been asked to escort you to his office," informed the man, who wore the black suit and looked like he was in his early thirties.

"But I am here to meet Grandpa... I mean....Mr. Ming Shihong," Lu Lian countered as she hated the thought of visiting the place of that man.

"I am aware of it, Ms. Lu. Mr. Ming is in my boss’s office, and they are waiting for Ms. Lu," the assistant informed.

She frowned inside, but there was nothing she could do but to curse her fortune once again, ’My bad luck.’
