Chapter 216 She Is My Responsibility...
In Lu Mansion, nobody asked about the whereabouts of Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan as they already guessed, both must be together. The next morning, after being ready, Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan left their home. Lu Qiang dropped Jiang Yuyan at the university before leaving for office.
In Ming Mansion, Ming Lan was ready to go to the university and she asked her brother Ming Rusheng to drop her as every day he did it. Ming Rusheng didn't want to go but thought of seeing Jiang Yuyan at least once, made him say 'Yes' to her.
When Ming siblings reached university, Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan were already there while saying bye to each other. Ming Lan saw Lu Qiang and couldn't hold back her happiness and exclaimed. "Waah! Lu Qiang!"
Hearing his sister, Ming Rusheng felt annoyed and pressed the breaks of the car in an annoyance which made the noise of breaks screeching and stopped the car beside Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan. Ming Lan didn't notice her brother's reaction and stepped out of a car in a hurry to go towards Lu Qiang. She looked at her brother as she was scared to talk to Lu Qiang so she avoided to do it and just smiled to look at Lu Qiang to which he replied with the same.
Jiang Yuyan felt a bit awkward to see Ming Rusheng as he witnessed the kiss between her and Lu Qiang. Though she decided to avoid thinking about what others might think, she couldn't help but feel awkward. Lu Qiang noticed it and said to assure her, "It's fine."
Ming Rusheng left to see it and Lu Qiang too left once he made sure Jiang Yuyan went inside the gate. In the evening, when Jiang Yuyan and Lu Qiang came back home with Lu Lijun with them. Su Hui was in the living room with a few other family members. Nobody asked anything but Su Hui couldn't hold back her curiosity. When she saw Jiang Yuyan, she asked, "Where were you since the night of the party? We all were worried."
Jiang Yuyan suddenly startled with her question and she didn't know what and how to answer. Lu Lijun shook Jiang Yuyan's hand and said, "Ignore her, she is the most annoying woman in this world."
When Lu Lijun said it, he didn't bother to lower his voice and almost everyone heard it. Su Hui didn't dare to say anything to Lu Lijun as Lu Qiang was there and she was aware that she was being nosy.
Lu Qiang smiled a little to hear it and ran his hand through Lu Lijun's hair. Lu Qiang avoided speaking as much as possible, as he too was aware of his aunt's nature. He wanted to answer on behalf of Jiang Yuyan but before that Lu Lijun did the job.
"As long as I know, we were not worried about her as we know she was safe and sound," Elder Lu said while looking at Lu Qiang with a smile on his face. He then looked at Su Hui and said, "and I think you should not worry about her too," Elder Lu replied in contrast to Su Hui's statement.
"But father...."
"Su Hui, stop being nosy. She is not a kid for you to ask her everything." Lu Chen stopped his wife before she could argue with his father.
"She is not a kid that's why I am worried. As she is staying with us here in Lu Mansion, she is our responsibility to look after her." Su Hui said with a serious tone.
The whole discussion was about Jiang Yuyan but she didn't know what to say and felt trapped.
Lu Qiang sighed and pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, "She was with me since that night. Do you want to know more, aunt Su Hui." Lu Qiang replied in a cold voice.
Su Hui felt shocked to hear it as she didn't expect Lu Qiang to answer it boldly and said, "With you? I...I was just being worried about her as she is..."
"You don't have to feel worried about her anymore as I am here to do that. Also, she is only my responsibility not anyone else's so if anyone has a problem with her, come directly to me instead of bothering her." Lu Qiang said in a firm voice as a warning for everyone but especially his words meant for his aunt.
Su Hui couldn't say anything further and others were calm as they knew how nosy kind of person Su Hui was. As nobody said anything, Lu Qiang passed his sight across Jiang Yuyan. signaling her something and stepped towards the staircase to go to his room.
Jiang Yuyan was still hesitant and stood in her place. Lu Lijun looked at her and said, "Elder brother signaled you to go to your room. Are you planning to stay here only? You should stop minding the useless words from a few people." He said and took Jiang Yuyan with him by holding her hand.
Jiang Yuyan followed him like he was ordering her and she was bound to listen to him. She could feel, she always listened to what Lu Lijun said as he was another Lu Qiang for her. She never understood why she always listened to this little guy and what kind of effect he had on her.
Others were still smiling with what Lu Lijun said while Su Hui was sulking while looking at both of them. She couldn't help but say, "What magic Jiang Yuyan has done that Lu Lijun who never even look at anyone other than his brother is taking her side and care for her too."
"It's not any magic Su Hui. Kids have better sense than us to identify the good person because they are pure by heart." Zhao Shuang replied.
Though Ning Jiahui was elder to Su Hui, she always avoided arguing with her as the peace in their home was important to her. Everyone was aware of her nature so they always avoided paying attention to what she said.
Dinner was calm and peaceful as Su Hui didn't say anything to offend anyone but she was observing the way Lu Qiang cared for Jiang Yuyan and she didn't like it.
