Chapter 857 Hiding Something...

Lu Lian turned the cellphone camera towards Lu Lijun, "Here he is, mother."

Lu Lijun awkwardly looked at the camera but didn't know what to talk while others stayed silent. 

"Congratulations, son," Ning Jiahui spoke, and he replied, "Thank you, mother."

Just then, they all heard the loud voice of the old man, "Let me talk to him."

Elder Lu held the cellphone, "You little rascal, have you forgotten your grandpa?"

Lu Lijun felt guilty as he didn't have the gall to disrespect his grandpa, "No, grandpa."

"Come back home soon so that we can celebrate this day together," elder Lu instructed, but Lu Lijun didn't reply as he never planned to go back home.

"Why are you not talking?" elder Lu asked, and Lu Lijun had no option but to assure him with something, "Yes, grandpa."

"That's like my grandson." The next moment, elder Lu's voice softened as he knew they were guilty towards Lu Lijun. 

"I know you are upset and angry with us, and we deserved it. When you come here, you can scold us as much as you want, and we will listen to everything. We will do whatever you ask us to, just come back, don't punish us for long. This old man wants you to be here before I die. Let me spend my left days with you. Even your grandma misses you too. See how weak she has turned."

Lu Lijun continued to listen to everything quietly with his head lowered down, and others kept quiet.

Grandpa turned the camera towards grandma as Lu Lijun heard the old woman, "Lu Lijun."

Hearing his grandma, Lu Lijun looked at her and saw she looked weak from how bright and cheerful his grandma used to be. 

"How are you, son?" Grandma Zhao Shuang asked in a low voice, and Lu Lijun felt his throat choked, "I am fine, grandma. You look weak." 

Grandma smiled lightly, "Your grandma is too old now. Don't listen to your grandpa and do what you feel right."

"W-what are you saying, honey…."

"Let him decide what he wants," grandma interrupted elder Lu, "Always be happy, son. My blessings are always with you."

Lu Lijun just nodded silently. One by one, everyone talked to him, but he just listened and hummed silently. 

When the call was over, no one talked much and silently had lunch. Lu Lijun was silent all the time, and no one knew what to say. 

Sending Lu Lijun away was one tough decision for the family, too, but they had to do it. When Lu Lijun said he doesn't wish to go back or didn't want to meet anyone from the family, the family members respected his decision as their punishment, and no one went against his will except for the ones who could.

Not just him, but the family members also suffered from the guilt of hurting a little guy when he did Nothing wrong and paid for the adults' mistakes. If he ever wished to punish or confront them, they decided to accept it all.

Jiang Yang looked at Lu Feng, and Lu Feng gave him a look saying he didn't know what to do while An Tian signaled them to give Lu Lijun some time.

After lunch, Jake took his friends for sightseeing in the resort and left the elder siblings alone. 

Lu Lian, who was thinking about so many things after the call with family, spoke. 

"Brother Feng, I wonder what happened to Lu Lijun suddenly that he insisted on coming to England when father agreed not to send him away."

Lu Feng remembered the day when he found Lu Lijun unconscious in the bathroom after turning his room upside down. "I too wonder what happened that day, which changed him like this."

"Something is there that we don't know about because I can see he is hiding something," said An Tian. 

"I feel it too," Jiang Yang added.

"Not just him, but Yuyan too changed since then. I wonder what these two are hiding," Lu Feng said as he looked worried. 

"The surprising thing is, since then, Yuyan and he never talked. How can it be possible when they both were like each other's shadows," said Lu Lian.

So many things were unknown, but no one knew the answers. 

In a while, the three young men came back.

"Why are you all so serious? Is something wrong?" Noah asked. 

"Hmm, we are discussing Lu Feng's love life," Jiang Yang answered.

"What the f…." Lu Feng frowned.

Noah felt excited, "We want to know. Right, guys?" 

Jake nodded, hiding his excitement while Lu Lijun didn't react as he didn't know what to think about it and felt uneasy, thinking who the woman must be.

"No more nonsense, Jiang Yang," Lu Feng warned.

"What nonsense, huh? After so long, my darling's cold heart is about to melt, and you don't wish me to celebrate it."

"There is nothing, so keep quiet," Lu Feng said.

"I doubt, there is nothing," An Tian added as he smiled teasingly.

"Both of you just focus on your lives. One can't let go of his old love, and the other one keeps running here and there," came the sarcastic remark from Lu Feng.

"Old love?" Jake asked, looking at his brother as if asking he didn't tell him, and An Tian replied, "That's not me," and signaled towards Jiang Yang, who suddenly turned quiet.

"Brother Yang, tell us about it," said Noah.

Lu Lijun knew who they were talking about, but he didn't know what happened after leaving China.

"Nothing much. We broke up," said Jiang Yang as he smiled lightly, but one could see the pain behind that smile. 

Lu Lian looked at Jiang Yang, "I met her." 

"Hmm!" Jiang Yang stayed silent again.

Lu Lian informed him, thinking there might be a way to get these two back together, but Jiang Yang asked Nothing further. She always thought about what happened between these two that they broke up.

"Why don't we talk about the current things here?" An Tian changed the topic as he looked at Lu Lijun, "Lijun, don't you want to know about your elder brother?"

Lu Lijun looked at Lu Feng just to get a cold reply, "Ignore them."
