Chapter 1039 - Whatever You Want...
Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband
Everyone left, and Jiang Yuyan looked at him. "Not here."
Saying she stepped to go upstairs and Lu Lijun followed her to the second floor.
Stopping in the corridor, in front of their roomâs door, she turned to look at him. "Say what you want to say to me."
"Whatever I say, it canât affect almighty President Lu," Lu Lijun commented, staring at her.
Ignoring what he said, Jiang Yuyan asked, "Do you know the meaning of agreeing to meet Mr. Wenâs daughter?"
"I know."
"Donât do it just for the sake to go against me."
He chuckled, "Now you want to control my private life too?"
"Do it only if you are ready to get engaged with her. Mr. Wen and his family are not someone who you can take lightly," she warned.
"Why do you think I wonât want to be engaged with her? Donât act as you know me well," he said coldly, staring into her eyes.
Jiang Yuyan sighed, "Donât use other means to trouble me, which will end up hurting you. You can take your anger out on me directly. Say what you want that you wished for all these years.
"Even if I say, will you care about it?" he asked.
Jiang Yuyan knew he was hurt, and it was the time she should take her step back.
"I know you are hurt, and I apologize for it," she said.
"Isnât it too late for it? All those years, where were you when I...? he stopped and inhaled deeply to calm himself. "Will the apology make up for what I have gone through?
"It wonât, but there is nothing more I can do," she replied.
She looked cold as usual as if nothing concerned her even if the person in front of her beg for her attention.
"Do I even mean anything to you? Iâm just nobody that you threw away when you want and accepted when you feel the need."
"I wonât explain why I had to send you away, but it was needed at that time. It was for your own good."
The painful smile painted on his lips, "For my own good, huh? Have you realized what good it has done to me? I feel nothing but anger and frustration. I canât feel anything else. Iâm a mess, but you say itâs for my own good? My life is a mess."
"You can get angry with me, scold me, whatever you want," she didnât look affected by the pain he felt, and it only added to his anger.
The hurt emotions in his eyes accompanied with the anger he felt, "Do I have any right over you to show my anger? Who are you to me?"
Jiang Yuyan stayed silent to let him out.
"Who asked you to take my responsibility? Why did you have to do it with me? Why did you...." he felt choked in the throat as sudden emotions rushed into his heart. His eyes turned fiery that showed how hurt he was.
He turned around and exhaled out to relax and stop those emotions surging out at once and spoke.
"You donât have any right over me to make decisions for my life. Only my elder brother was the one. Donât try to take his place in my life. You are nobody to me."
"That I canât promise until you take your brotherâs place. Once you are there, I wonât interfere."
Lu Lijun chuckled, "I forgot, Iâm your goddamn responsibility that you want to pull out successfully by all means. It doesnât matter to you if I want it or not."
"Since the start, you know you meant for it," she said.
Keeping his emotions aside, he turned to look at her and stared into her eyes, "And who decided it? Itâs you."
"Your brother wanted it too," she countered.
"He wouldnât have forced me against my will, but what are you doing? Stop putting my brotherâs name to everything when itâs you who want it, and then be free from everything."
She just stared at him calmly as he looked angry.
"President Lu, as I warned you before, just wait for me to trouble you more." He pointed towards himself, "And, forget about your dream to get free from this responsibility. Iâll never let you go away. You have to be here with me forever, bearing with all the troubles Iâll create for you."
He looked cold, and his eyes had threatening darkness which warned her to be careful of him.
She continued staring at him while Lu Lijun spoke again, "Donât even try to run away from this responsibility. Even if you do, Iâll get you back here by all means possible. You have to pay for what you have done with me. Got it, President Lu?"
"Anything else?" she asked.
"Soon, there will be a lot. Brace yourself," he said and turned to leave to his room.
Jiang Yuyan stood unaffected as she looked at his retreating back. Just after a few steps, Lu Lijun stopped again.
"President Lu."
Jiang Yuyan waited for him to talk.
"I know president Lu is keeping me busy, so I wonât look into my brotherâs accident case. But let me tell you, nothing can stop me."
The cold woman who was not affected by any of his words, suddenly her eyes showed anxiousness hearing what Lu Lijun said.
"There is nothing to look into. Itâs over, and everyone is at peace. Donât try to disturb it. You are free to do what you want to do to trouble me."
Lu Lijun turned to look at her, "Isnât it the best way to trouble you?"
"Itâs not because it will just hurt our family..."
"Or, are you trying to hide something from everyone?" Lu Lijun asked, interrupting her.
"The case is closed, and there is nothing to hide," she added.
"Case? That file doesnât even show what exactly happened and who the culprits were. My elder brother lost his life, and that case was just closed unsolved with no enough proof."
Jiang Yuyan sighed, "Just stop it. It took years to get everything and everyone back to normal. Donât do anything to destroy it."
"I just want the entire world to know those culprits, and I canât let that file be a piece of trash which has no value. I would enter every responsible personâs name in that file, and only then can it be closed."
"Lu Lijun...."
"Donât try to stop me," he warned; his eyes looked even furious.
"I told you, you can do whatever you want to trouble me as Iâm the one to cause you pain. Just stop what you are....."
Lu Lijun stepped towards her, which puzzled and interrupted her.
Instinctively, Jiang Yuyan took a step back, and there was a wall behind her. He stepped towards her and stood closer as his eyes never left the sight of her puzzled eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Whatever I want, huh?" he spoke.
Jiang Yuyan continued staring into his eyes. The woman, who was always stable like a rock, felt intimidated by the way he looked at her and how close he was to her. She never saw him or never expected him to act like this.
"Donât say whatever I want, or you might regret it one day," he warned.
Jiang Yuyan didnât know how to react to it and stood frozen, and Lu Lijun stepped back.
"Good night, President Lu." Saying, Lu Lijun entered his room.
SLAM!!
There was a loud noise of door closing that pulled Jiang Yuyan out from a daze. She was still puzzled to see him like that and went to her room, giving out a sigh of relief.
