Chapter 1029 - Hurting Himself...
Angry Lu Lijun didn't return to his office but instead went to the rooftop of the building. He had to go away from everything to calm himself down, or he didn't know what he would do.
The receptionist felt worried seeing him like that and thought about what must have happened. He looked angry as well as scared that they didn't even dare to look at him.
Getting on the rooftop, Lu Lijun stood against the wall next to the door; not being able to control his anger, he punched on the wall with his fist as he breathed heavily in the anger.
His hair turned messy, his face and eyes turned red as he punched the wall a few more times.
There were bloodstains on the wall as his knuckles looked severely hurt, but this angry man couldn't even feel the pain. He also kicked the wall a few times as if it was the person he would have killed right away.
He stood silently resting his back on the wall, with his head lowered down and his eyes ready to shade the tears that he tried to hold back.
-----
Noah came out of his office and went toward Lu Lijun's office to discuss something related to work. Not seeing him inside the office, Noah went to the receptionist to ask where he was.
"Seems like the fourth young master went to the rooftop," The receptionist answered as he saw at which floor the elevator stopped, which Lu Lijun used.
Hearing it, Noah understood something must have happened again. Grabbing the tiny sealed mineral water bottle from the center table in front of the couch in the reception, he stepped towards the elevator.
"Mr. Noah," the receptionist called.
Noah turned to look at her, "Fourth young master looked angry."
Not reacting to her, Noah left. When he reached the rooftop, Noah saw Lu Lijun standing against the wall.
"Lijun," Noah called his name, worry painted on his face.
Lu Lijun, who stood with his lowered down, immediately looked away so that Noah wouldn't see his face.
Noah went closer to him and noticed his hurt knuckles. He also noticed the stains of blood on that white wall behind Lu Lijun. Noah understood how he hurt himself and held Lu Lijun's hand to check the wounds.
"Being angry is fine, but one should not hurt themselves," Noah commented, seeing how badly it was hurt and could guess he must have punched the wall multiple times.
Lu Lijun didn't react and didn't even look at Noah, but Noah could see his moist eyelashes and wetness on his cheeks.
Lu Lijun pulled his hand back from Noah and didn't answer. Sighing deeply, Noah too stood beside Lu Lijun, resting his back on the wall.
"Tell me once you are ready to talk," Noah spoke, and everything turned silent.
-------
Xiao Min came out of the president's office. He was about to go towards Lu Lijun's office, the receptionist informed, "Fourth young master went to the rooftop."
Xiao Min stopped, and she informed again, "Mr. Noah is with him."
Hearing it, Xiao Min felt relieved as he didn't have to worry about Lu Lijun. He knew no one could handle Lu Lijun better than his two friends.
-------
Some time passed by, and Noah spoke again, "Are you calm now?"
Lu Lijun nodded lightly.
Noah passed him a water bottle that Lu Lijun accepted and had few sips.
"I'm sure nothing has happened," Noah said, knowing if he asked, Lu Lijun would reply with only one word- Nothing.
Lu Lijun didn't react as he just stared at the bottle in his hand.
"Still, if you wish to say something, you know I'm here," Noah added.
Lu Lijun nodded lightly, and Noah felt glad that he at least responded.
Noah moved and stood up facing Lu Lijun, who still didn't look at his friend.
"Let me fix it," saying Noah fixed Lu Lijun's hair with his fingers as he spoke, "Keeping everything inside for long can only make things worse. Even if you are angry, make sure not to do anything that you will regret later."
Lu Lijun listened to it quietly. Not a single word he said, and Noah knew, it would like this for some more time. Whenever Lu Lijun turned angry, after that, he always preferred to be silent for long, and no one could guess what went in his mind. His friends never forced him to talk, letting him take his time.
"Let's go back; your hand is hurt," Noah held Lu Lijun's hand and started walking, not waiting for his reply.
It was like Lu Lijun suddenly turned into an obedient kid.
Before getting out of the elevator, Lu Lijun tucked his hands in his pant's pocket so no one could see he was hurt.
Noah instructed the receptionist not to disturb them, and they went to Lu Lijun's office. Pulling out the first aid kit, Noah treated Lu Lijun's wound as the two sat on the couch.
---------
After office hours, everyone returned home. Lu Lijun didn't wish to, but he had to because his father asked him to as it was something important matter for the entire family. He could guess what it was but couldn't avoid it.
Jiang Yuyan felt a bit better that she could at least mark her presence there. Hiding her pain was what she could do best, just as she did all these years.
In the evening, Lu Jinhai informed me that Mr. Wen was not coming due to some family emergency. Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun had dinner with the family, where the two were silent.
"What happened to your hands?" Ning Jiahui asked.
"Nothing," came the cold reply.
"Then how did you get hurt?" Niag Jiahui asked again.
"Mother, don't worry," he said again coldly, and Ning Jiahui couldn't ask him again, seeing his sullen mood.
Elder Lu signaled her to let it go and not ask. They knew, if she insisted more, he would leave the dinner table.
Jiang Yuyan couldn't eat more and stood up, "I'll be out tonight," she informed them and left the dining room.
Xiao Min already waited for her in the car as he came there to pick her up.
Once she left, Elder Lu asked, "She doesn't look good. Did something happen?"
Lu Lijun stayed quiet, hearing it as if he didn't hear what others said.
"Even if we ask, she never says anything," Ning Jiahui sighed, "Don't know till how long I have to worry about our kids. All are stubborn and do whatever they wish to."
Saying Ning Jiahui passed her sight across the young generation that included Lu Lijun, Lu Feng, Lu Lian and Lu Bao.
No one looked at Ning Jiahui and continued eating with their head lowered down.
Just then, Lu Jinhai spoke, "Lian, you know why Mr. Wen was coming home."
She nodded, and Lu Jinhai asked again, "Do you want anything to say about it?"
She shook her head.
"Wen Zac is a nice man. You can decide after meeting him. We are not in a hurry. Think carefully and then answer. We won't force you."
Lowering her head down to eat, she nodded lightly.
Lu Lijun looked at his father surprisingly and questioningly.
