Chapter 1022: It's Late...
"Why did you say yes when you didn't mean it?"
Lu Lijun, who walked beside her, looked at her surprisingly. He understood she got him and spoke, "It's better than sitting there."
"You don't even know me," she said.
"I don't know them either," Lu Lijun countered. He referred to the Wen family members.
Liwei nodded, accepting his explanation, and suggested, "It's better to talk about something as we are here."
"Hmm," Lu Lijun agreed.
The two went towards the beautifully decorated garden, which had different colors and lights brightening it. They continued walking around.
"I didn't recognize you that day," she said.
"Hmm."
"Those guys tried to mess with you."
"Hmm."
"I still remember the day you broke his hand," she said.
Lu Lijun, who just hummed to what she said, stopped hearing it.
She turned to look at him.
"Were you there on that day?" he asked, feeling surprised.
She nodded, "You were scary at that time too."
Her meaning was clear that he was still scary, and she didn't hesitate to say it.
"You didn't just break his hand but shut his mouth with the tape so he couldn't talk," she reminded.
Lu Lijun remembered it and felt surprised at himself and started walking, as he smiled remembering those old memories.
She continued, "Well, he deserved it. If someone talks badly about my brother, I will cut his tongue."
Lu Lijun smiled and thought it was not a bad idea to come out with her, as they kept talking about childhood days.
The first thing she said to him surprised him as she directly jumped to the point and didn't try to act sweet and cute. She looked like an outspoken person who didn't like to pretend things.
The two talked about what they did all these years and what they were up to where Lu Lijun mostly answered her questions, and she spoke more.
The time passed by, and the servant came, "Young miss, the dinner is ready."
She nodded to the servant and then looked at Lu Lijun, "We should go."
The two returned, and she talked again, "I don't talk this much usually, but it doesn't seem like you will talk much, and I hate the awkward silence."
Lu Lijun smiled at it, "Thank you."
He meant that she did well by talking and getting rid of awkward silence.
When the two returned, everyone was at the huge, circular, white polished dining table where the two chairs were empty, meant for Lu Lijun and Liwei to sit together.
Walking towards the dining table, Lu Lijun's sight passed across Jiang Yuyan, who sat beside Wen Zac. In Lu Mansion, she always sat on his right, and now she sat with someone else, which he didn't like.
Lu Lijun and Liwei sat beside each other. During the dinner, the elders talked, and younger ones just listened to them, answering the questions asked to them once in a while.
Lu Bao, who was quiet till now, whispered to Lu Lian, "If you are not interested in Mr. Ming, Mr. Wen is not a bad choice."
It shocked Lu Lian, and she warned in the same whispering way, "If you were not pregnant, I would have beaten you up."
It didn't affect Lu Bao as she smiled widely.
"I hope you two now know each other," Mr. Wen said, looking at Liwei and Lu Lijun, and the two nodded.
"The current project, Liwei will help her brother too, so you two can also work together," said Mr. Wen again, and the two had nothing to say.
"It's good to know," Lu Jinhai commented.
"I want her to learn from her brother as well as president Lu," Mr. Wen added and looked at Jiang Yuyan, "I wish president Lu wouldn't mind guiding her."
"She is always welcome," Jiang Yuyan replied, and Liwei said, "It would be my pleasure."
Liwei looked like she really meant it, and she was happy to know she would learn from Jiang Yuyan.
After the dinner, when everyone was busy with their talk, Mr. Wen asked Lu Jinhai, "Did president Lu answer?"
Lu Jinhai shook his head, "Not yet."
"Without her approval, nothing can happen in the family, and this time it's something really important, so let her think," elder Lu informed to make it clear.
Lu Jinhai nodded, and Mr. Wen said, "I hope things will happen soon so we can be in peace."
"In things like this, we can't be in a hurry," said elder Lu and Mr. Wen agreed.
Soon it was time to leave. While leaving, Wen Zac handed over one file to Jiang Yuyan.
The others were busy saying bye to each other, and they thought it was something related to work, but Lu Lijun didn't want to buy it.
He stared at the two to know what was going on, and he was close to hear them clearly.
"This?" Jiang Yuyan asked, looking at the file.
Wen Zac smiled, "Something that would make President Lu smile."
She opened the file, and her eyes brightened up with happiness, and she looked at Wen Zac. "Thank you so much."
Her bright eyes, her smile showed as if she got the happiness of her life.
"Anything for President Lu," Wen Zac replied.
The family members looked at Jiang Yuyan. It surprised them to see Jiang Yuyan smiling so brightly. It never happened before and made them think about what had happened suddenly.
Lu Lijun felt like grabbing that file and checking what was there, but he couldn't do it.
All this time, Lu Lijun could control himself but seeing her smiling at Wen Zac like this brought him back to his sulking mode.
"It's late," he said a bit loudly, that everyone could hear him, but his eyes fixed on Jiang Yuyan as if he said it only to her.
Everyone looked at him and Jiang Yuyan too. Ignoring everyone's gazes, Lu Lijun went to his car and sat inside.
"What happened to him suddenly?" Lu Bao asked Lu Lian, and she replied, feeling surprised, "Don't know."
Others could feel it too but preferred to turn a blind eye to it.
