Chapter 1270: You Won't Get What You Want


Jiang Yuyan was busy with the things that involved leading Lu Lijun's way towards the position of President of the Lu Corporation.


"Yuyan, have you thought about it carefully?" Lu Jinhai asked as the two sat in his office.


"Yes, father. I think it's time now," Jiang Yuyan was firm on her decision. "If we start everything now, it will still take some time more. Most of the board members are in favor of this decision and they are ready to accept him as a new precedent of Lu Corporation. Moreover, things were decided ten years ago and now it's time to implement them."


Lu Jinhai was not willing but as it was Jiang Yuyan's final decision, he could not oppose her. "As you feel right."


"Soon there will be few meetings with the board members and Lu Lijun has to be present there," she informed. 


"I will talk to him," Lu Jinhai assured and asked, "When will you return home?"


"Tonight," Jiang Yuyan answered. 


She didn't return home after Lu Lijun left and neither did Lu Lijun come to the office as he wished to rest and do nothing. Both had not come across each other since the day Lu Lijun left Jiang Yuyan's home.


Jiang Yuyan returned home that night as soon there would be an event in the family. When the two came across each other during dinner the same night, no one talked with each other. As usual Jiang Yuyan was worried about this unusual silence from Lu Lijun.


Lu Jinhai looked at his son, "Lu Lijun, how are you feeling now?"


"I am good," Lu Lijun replied while eating.


"When are you planning to be back to the office?" Lu Jinhai asked.


"Not sure," he replied as if it was not a big deal. 


"Is there any issue that you are not coming to the office?" Lu Jinhai asked. 


"I just don't wish to," Lu Lijun replied.


"How can you….."


"If he doesn't wish to go to the office, are you forcing him now?" Elder Lu interrupted Lu Jinhai.


"No father. He can rest as much as he wants. I am just asking when he will be coming to the office," Lu Jinhai explained, "Soon there are important board meetings and his presence is necessary."


The moment Lu Lijun heard the words board meeting, his hand froze as he stopped eating. He was already expecting it but it was so soon. His sight passed across Jiang Yuyan who was eating silently, 'You are in so much hurry but you won't get what you want.'


Jiang Yuyan sensed his gaze at her and looked at him, "Tomorrow we have one important meeting and you will go with me."


Lu Lijun stared at her for a few moments and then resumed eating as if her words didn't matter to him. He finished dinner early and excused himself. 


Once Lu Lijun left, Ning Jiahui said, "He doesn't look good these days. I think we should let him be."


"Something must have happened or he is not the kind to neglect his work," Lu Chen added and looked at his elder brother, "Brother, I think you should ask him if something is troubling him."


Lu Jinhai nodded lightly and stayed quiet. 


"Yuyan, you should talk to him and ask. He might share his worries with you," Ning Jiahui instructed. 


Jiang Yuyan didn't react much and just nodded lightly and heard her father-in-law, Lu Jinhai "Don't trouble Yuyan. I will talk with him."


Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan gave out a sigh of relief as she already knew why Lu Lijun was acting like that. He was upset with her.


"Still, there is no harm if Yuyan talks with him. He listens to her even if he is upset with anything," Ning Jiahui insisted. 


"He is not a kid to trouble her all the time. Stop relying on Yuyan for anything about him. She has already done enough for him and now he needs to be on his own," Lu Jinhai countered, his voice cold and authoritative. 


It surprised everyone as it was rare for Lu Jinhai to talk so coldly with his family members and even he looked so serious that no one dared talk back at him.


"Father, it's fine. I'll talk with him," Jiang Yuyan said to ease the tension. 


Lu Jinhai looked at her, "You don't need to spoil him more."


"I won't, father," Jiang Yuyan assured. 


"Once you talk with him, let me know what is wrong with him," Ning Jiahui instructed. 


"Yes, mother. But I think there is no need to worry. He has been working non-stop for the past few months so such burnouts are given. He will be fine soon," Jiang Yuyan assured her mother-in-law to ease her worry.


Ning Jiahui nodded in agreement. 


-----


Jiang Yuyan went upstairs and stopped in front of Lu Lijun's room. Hesitating for a while, she knocked on the door and said, "It's me."


There was no reply from inside so she moved the handle on the door to unlock it and said while opening the door just a little, "I am coming inside."


There was no reply but Jiang Yuyan opened the door, only to see Lu Lijun sitting in the chair in front of his work table and working on the laptop.


"Lu Lijun," she called. 


Lu Lijun didn't turn to look at her and said, "If it's about attending any useless meetings, then I am not coming."


"Being an important part of the company, your presence is necessary," Jiang Yuyan insisted, as she stood behind his chair and a few steps away from him.


"I have made my decision. Don't make me repeat it," Lu Lijun replied.


Jiang Yuyan frowned as she knew soft words won't work on him. "Your decision and everything as you want but what about me? Till how long do you want me to fill the position for you? Is it that difficult to attend one meeting?"


"For me, it is," Lu Lijun replied after a short pause. Not like he couldn't attend the meeting but he knew the outcome of it.


"I am tired, Lu Lijun. I am truly tired now. If you have a little conscience left in you, then tomorrow you will come with me," Jiang Yuyan ordered. She knew, unless she forced him, he would always find his way out of it.


The moment Jiang Yuyan said she was tired, Lu Lijun couldn't get back at her. It was the truth that she must be tired after giving so many years of her life to handle everything on her own and now she needed to rest. He wanted to turn and look at her, he wished to say he will take care of everything and she doesn't have to worry about anything, but he chose to remain quiet.


The thing that stopped him was, 'What if she leaves?'


"I have prepared a suit for you that you have to wear tomorrow. Butler uncle will bring it to you. Get ready by the office time," Jiang Yuyan instructed and left without waiting for the reply from the stubborn man.


Lu Lijun sat in his place frozen. He was conflicted between getting all of Jiang Yuyan's burden on his shoulder but if he did so, he was sure she would leave. He had no other way to stop her.
