Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1027 - She Wants To Be Free And Live Her Life...

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Yuyan collected herself, pulling out the same cold look as if showing she was fine.

The door opened, and Lu Jinhai entered the office.

Jiang Yuyan stood up to greet Lu Jinhai and went towards him, who went to sit on the couch after accepting her greeting with a slight nod.

Just as they sat, Lu Jinhai spoke, "I went through the file you sent to me, and I thought about what you said that day."

Nodding lightly, Jiang Yuyan waited for him to continue. Though she was not feeling well, she didn't let it show on her face.

"I don't think he is yet ready to take your place," Lu Jinhai spoke.

"He can do it, father. When I started, I was not even as half smart as him," she commented.

"Though I don't feel it's right, in the end, the decision is yours, and I'll do what you want," Lu Jinhai said, but he looked a bit tensed.

"It would be fine, father. He is much more capable than what we think," she comforted the tensed man.

"I know, but didn't you notice how he behaves these days. He is still stuck with the past, and in such a situation, it won't be good."

Jiang Yuyan agreed about his behavior, "It would be better once he takes out his anger."

"If he does, you would be the one facing it, and I don't want…"

"It's fine, father. After all, it was all my fault. I want him to take it out, or until then, he won't be in peace."

"It was not your fault. Don't blame yourself. When he was a kid, he always took it out on the one important to him. Lu Qiang had faced it and had to go through lots of trouble to make up for him." Lu Jinhai paused for a moment and said again, "You are important for him."

Jiang Yuyan didn't know what to say. All along, she thought he hates her for sending him away and never looking back at him.

"Trust me. Since he is back, you are the only one with who he is bitter. It's not because he hates you, but he feels that he has the right to be upset with you, and you are the one important to him. I know my son."

Jiang Yuyan didn't reply and just silently listened to him.

Do you really want me to do it now?" Lu Jinhai asked.

"Yes, father," she replied.

"How about we give him some more time?"

She looked at Lu Jinhai, "Does father really think he will agree right away?"

Lu Jinhai understood what she meant, "Looking at the scenario, I think he will take too much time to agree to it."

"That's why we should start it soon so he can have enough time to think about it. When the time comes, there wouldn't be a delay."

"Why are you in a hurry, Yuyan? Is there a reason?" Lu Jinhai asked as he thought something was not right.

Jiang Yuyan pulled out a light smile, "Only reason is that I think he is ready, and we should not delay it more."

Lu Jinhai accepted her reason. He knew that if there was something she didn't want to tell, there was no way he would get to know it. They asked for Lu Lijun to come to the president's office.

Lu Jinhai observed Jiang Yuyan, "Are you not feeling well?"

It startled her because she tried her best not to show it. "Just a little tired," she replied.

"Then you should rest. We can do it later," Lu Jinhai suggested.

"I'm fine, father," she insisted.

In a while, there was a knock on the door. The two looked at the door. Lu Lijun entered the office.

Lu Lijun would not have come to the office if there was no mention of Mr. Chairman's name. He didn't want to see her, at least not now. He knew if he did, he would end up venting his anger on her.

He didn't wish to hurt her intentionally, but he couldn't avoid doing it. Before, he was fine, but these days the things triggered him that he couldn't control himself whatever he tried.

Lu Lijun went to the couch, "Father asked for me."

Lu Jinhai nodded, "Have a seat."

Lu Lijun sat on the right side of his father and opposite Jiang Yuyan, who sat in her separate chair that matched the couch.

The atmosphere turned silent, and Lu Jinhai spoke, "We think it's time for you to take your brother's place."

Lu Lijun sighed inwardly and looked at Jiang Yuyan, "I don't want to."

Though his father asked, he told it to Jiang Yuyan, knowing it must be her idea.

"Can I know the reason?" Lu Jinhai asked.

"I'm not ready yet," he replied calmly, not willing to disrespect his father.

"But still, we think you can handle it. Yuyan personally observed you, and she is sure you are more than just capable. Also, I trust her decision."

"President Lu thinks highly of me, but still I don't want to," he denied again.

"Lu Lijun, you can just start now, and we are there to help you. Soon you would adjust to it," said Lu Jinhai.

This time Lu Lijun stayed silent as he knew his father wouldn't stop insisting.

"All these years, Yuyan handled everything, and now she wants you to take charge. Don't you think it's time for her to be free and think about her life?" Lu Jinhai asked.

Lu Lijun looked at Jiang Yuyan, who seemed lost in her world. She was trying to bear with the pain she felt at that moment that she didn't pay attention to what these two talked about.

She thought she would bear it, but suddenly the pain increased, and she thought to hold herself till these two finish talking.

'She wants to be free and live her life,' Lu Lijun thought as he stared at her.

Though Lu Jinhai said it out of concern for Jiang Yuyan, knowing how hard she worked all these years and she should take a break from it to focus on her life, Lu Lijun took it in another way.

"Think about her, Lu Lijun," Lu Jinhai added.

Before Lu Lijun could answer, Xiao Min, entered the office after knocking on the door, "Mr. Chairman, director Fu is waiting."

Lu Jinhai nodded, "I almost forgot about it."

Lu Jinhai looked at Lu Lijun, "Think about what I said," stood up and left.

Lu Lijun looked at Jiang Yuyan, "If President Lu thinks doing the things though father would work, then-President Lu Is wrong."

Trying to bear the pain, Jiang Yuyan clenched her fists, "The decision is final. It doesn't matter whoever asks you to do it."

Lu Lijun chuckled, "Is president Lu that desperate to be free from everything?"

Jiang Yuyan glared at him, and he spoke again.

"It's been more than two months since I returned, but president Lu didn't take the initiative to talk to me. Then how come President Lu is free suddenly to come to me to ask if I'm fine. Why this fake concern suddenly when all these years she didn't even look back at me."
