Nodding Jiang Yuyan was ready to hear what Lu Feng wanted to say."There are few things that you don’t know and I don’t wish you to know as I have been carrying its weight for long. I am not deserving to get it all what you are asking me to do," said Lu Feng.
"Lu Feng..."
Jiang Yuyan tried to say something, but Lu Feng interrupted her. "Listen to me first, Yuyan and I hope after that you will understand me."
Lu Feng was calm and his words gentle as he continued.
"Till now, you must have got to know what brother Lu Han did. After what he did, he failed all of mine, and Lu Qiang’s attempts to keep this family one and it’s hurting to know I was the reason. If I get that position, then those who wanted to see me there by doing the tricks will win in the end and I don’t want it. Lu Qiang worked hard to get what he had and I never want others to covet it."
"You are Lu Qiang’s brother and if you get it, it won’t be wrong. Also, what brother Lu Han did, it’s not your fault," Jiang Yuyan countered.
"But he is my elder brother and what he did, I was the reason for it so I am at fault too. After making him guilty by unintentionally forcing him to do what he never would have, I can’t get the power and position as if nothing happened. For his doing, I am responsible too."
Jiang Yuyan had nothing to say. She remembered what the butler said- Lu Feng was the person who always punished himself for other’s mistakes. Now, she could understand the meaning of those words and she thought about what the butler must have witnessed about Lu Feng to know him so well.
What more Lu Feng had gone through and what was the moment he punished himself for someone else’s wrong-doings. She continued looking at Lu Feng to know how many things this aloof person had kept buried inside and what he was referring to when he said- he was carrying a weight of so many things for long.
Just then Lu Feng spoke something that snapped Jiang Yuyan out of her thoughts.
"Moreover, I don’t want to be a person who covets his brother’s belonging when he is not with us." As Lu Feng said it, he was looking at Jiang Yuyan as if he would never get to see her again.
Jiang Yuyan thought Lu Feng was referring to just Lu Qiang’s position and power, but there was something more to what he said, and that something she will never get to know about.
This man in front of her loved her like crazy for long and the only thing mattered to him was her happiness, even though in return he just got pain. He had only her in his mind and his heart, but he will never tell her.
For Lu Feng, the things that belonged to his brother included Jiang Yuyan too and he would never want her for him, that’s why he didn’t come back home on the day of the wedding in the village.
"I understand," Jiang Yuyan replied.
"You are the one who should take that position," Lu Feng spoke that surprised her.
Lu Feng interrupted her, "You know well what kind of power you have in your hands and if you can handle it, then you are the one who can handle Lu corporation too."
"I am not interested in business." The firm reply came from Jiang Yuyan.
Lu Feng straight starred in Jiang Yuyan’s eyes as he said confidently, "I am sure there are the things you have done that you were never interested in, and never ever thought to do, but you did it because you loved him so much."
These words from Lu Feng reminded Jiang Yuyan about what she did a week before. She killed the people which was the last thing she would ever do in her life but her love for Lu Qiang and the revenge of his death made her go crazy. In her heart, she knew she would not stop just with this and she would be worse soon.
Looking at her, Lu Feng understood what was going on in her mind and said, "The same thing applies to Lu Corporations too. Even though you are not interested in business, you should do it to protect what your loved one created with his blood and sweat and it would be wrong if you let his efforts go in vain."
Jiang Yuyan stared back at Lu Feng as she thought she was the one who came here to convince him but the things were going the other way round and instead; she was getting convinced with his words. It showed how well he understood others.
Jiang Yuyan chuckled softly, "Sometimes I regret having you three in my life as you three know what will work for me and I am the one who ends up getting convinced by you three." Jiang Yuyan was referring to these three men in her life.
Lu Feng had no words to say about this but he had something else to say, "If you decide to lead the Lu corporations, I am always here to help you with business as long as I don’t have to step into Lu Corporations."
"I am not sure if I will," said Jiang Yuyan and Lu Feng didn’t insist on her. He knew she would do it if she wanted to, otherwise, there was no use in insisting on her.
"I will take leave." Saying Jiang Yuyan stood up to leave just then, Lu Feng called her as he stood up too, "Yuyan!"
Jiang Yuyan stayed at her place to know what Lu Feng wanted to say but to her surprise, Lu Feng stepped towards her. He stood facing her and said while looking into her eyes, "Something I will do for the first and the last time."
Jiang Yuyan’s eyes which showed how puzzled she was hearing what Lu Feng said, stared back into his gentle and caring ones.
