After having breakfast with the family, Qin Xiu went to see Jiang Yuyan where she was helping Lu Lijun with breakfast. Seeing Lu Lijun and knowing his condition, Qin Xiu didn’t talk anything that could remind him about Lu Qiang even though she wanted to console Jiang Yuyan.
\"How are you, Lu Lijun,\" Qin Xiu asked but Lu Lijun didn’t reply so Jiang Yuyan replied instead of him, \"He is fine. I am taking him out somewhere so we can talk later.\"
\"Out?\" Qin Xiu asked and Jiang Yuyan just hummed.
Qin Xiu asked nothing as she could feel she was not welcomed there and saying take care to both of them she left.
After Breakfast, Jiang Yuyan asked Lu Lijun to go with her somewhere and Lu Lijun obediently got out of the bed.
When both were going downstairs, the family members present in the living room felt happy and as they reached downstairs, everyone thought these two were going to come towards them but happened otherwise.
Jiang Yuyan straight took the path of the main door of the mansion and it surprised others. Ning Jiahui stood up and wanted to ask where they were going, but before that Jiang Yuyan halted in her tracks, and said, \"We will be back soon. No need to worry about us.\"
Her eyes, not sparing a glance at anyone, devoid of any emotion, darted in the direction of the Mansion’s door, her voice cold and ordering one as if she was not asking permission to anyone.
Not waiting for a word to hear from others, Jiang Yuyan left, holding Lu Lijun’s hand, leaving others puzzled and worried.
The car was waiting for Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun. It was the one arranged by San Zemin along with the driver, which was one of his men.
Jiang Yuyan instructed the driver where to go and it surprised him. He looked at Jiang Yuyan through the rear-view mirror to make sure what he heard was right and she looked back at him, \"You heard right.\"
The way she looked at him through the rear-view mirror, it was enough for him to not ask more questions and drive the car.
Lu Feng, who was about to go out in his car to send An Tian off and later to meet Jiang Yang and his uncle in the hospital, saw Jiang Yuyan leaving the mansion along with Lu Lijun.
He looked at An Tian who was equally surprised as him. Both immediately sat in the car and followed them.

In Su Hui’s room.
When Jiang Yuyan took Lu Lijun out, Qin Xiu went to his mother-in-law, Su Hui’s room. Su Hui was calmly sitting in the chair while looking out of the window.
\"Mother, Yuyan took Lu Lijun somewhere out.\"
Su Hui nodded, \"Hmm! I know. Let her be as she is worried about him.\"
Qin Xiu commented nothing further and asked, \"Why are you so serious mother? Is something troubling you?\"
\"Hmm!\"
\"You can share it with me, mother and I might help you with it,\" Qin Xiu suggested.
\"There are two other men in our family, so don’t worry about it. One of them can take Lu Qiang’s place. Isn’t it what the mother wished for?\" Qin Xiu asked.
\"I wished for it, but never wished for Lu Qiang’s death. I am sad as it feels like I lost my son but we can’t keep crying about it as there are things that meant to be done.\"
Qin Xiu agreed, \"It’s sad but we can’t change the fact so we have to make one of them take his position.\"
\"It’s not that easy. After Lu Qiang’s death, everything passed to his wife. So she is the one who holds the power now,\" Su Hui commented.
\"So are you worried that she will take everything with her?\" Qin Xiu asked.
\"The way she is acting these days, I think she is up to something. Instead of mourning over her husband’s death, she looks strong and it’s something to worry about.\"
\"Isn’t there any way to get this power away from her, mother?\"
\"There is, but we have to wait for that.\" It looked like Su had planned something and she was waiting for the right time.
\"But, how long, mother? What if she leaves this home taking everything along and get married to someone else? She is still young.\"
\"Soon, once we bury Lu Qiang’s ashes, I will make her do what I want.\" Saying Su Hui closed her eyes leaving Qin Xiu with so many questions.

On the way, while following Jiang Yuyan, An Tian spoke, \"Take it slow, Lu Feng as we don’t have to stop them but to follow them to see where they are going.\"
Lu Feng listened to An Tian and slowed down the speed.
After crossing four to five kilometers of the distance, Lu Feng felt worried, \"Where is she going? After a few kilometers, it’s that place.\"
\"Hmm! I guess she is going there only,\" An Tian replied and Lu Feng didn’t know what to say.
\"Don’t worry. I am sure she knows what she is doing,\" An Tian assured him.
After some time, Jiang Yuyan’s car stopped and it was the place of the accident, as predicted by Lu Feng and An Tian.
Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the car and went to the other side of the back passenger seat door, she asked Lu Lijun to step out.
\"Stop here, Lu Feng,\" An Tian instructed him to stop away from them and Lu Feng did. They could see what Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun were doing.
\"Let’s not disturb them,\" An Tian suggested as if he knew what Jiang Yuyan was trying to do. Not saying a word, both sat quietly inside the car.
Jiang Yuyan took Lu Lijun towards the place where the accident happened. The road had been cleaned and repaired, but still, it showed the traces of the damage had been done.
