Chapter 852 Important Day...
"For the first Time, we got his clear pictures so clear where he is standing alone, and we can see him clearly. Before it was always something off as if the person avoids the camera," San Zemin informed.
Xiao Min again looked at the photographs and realized what San Zemin said was right. In all the pictures, Lu Lijun stood looking somewhere as his hands tucked in pant’s pocket, his expressions serious, and his eyes devoid of any emotions, which made it difficult to understand what Lu Lijun was thinking at that moment.
"His eyes, they are...." Xiao Min stopped as something worried him.
"So Intimidating?" San Zemin continued.
Xiao Min agreed, "Hmm! It’s not easy to approach him and the way he is....." Xiao Min sighed.
"Isn’t it good? He would be the best one to handle everything," said San Zemin.
"It is, but it would be difficult to handle him, and he might make things difficult for the boss," said Xiao Min.
"Don’t worry. Our boss knows how to handle others," San Zemin assured.
"That ’others’ don’t include him," Xiao Min countered.
"You think so highly of him," San Zemin commented.
"I just know him well enough to understand what he can do, and it makes me feel worried about the boss."
"You are overthinking, Xiao Min. I have been keeping an eye on him since he left for the USA, and he did nothing but be a good person all the Time. He had never created single trouble for us, and he is always so silent and busy in his world.
"He is like a silent volcano which will trouble everyone when it will explode," Xiao Min looked worried.
"Well, I don’t know what to comment on it."
"It’s okay, leave it on time."
"I have work to do. You can show these pictures to the boss as it’s an important day for him."
"Hmm!"
Xiao Min agreed, and San Zemin left and
------
Xiao Min waited for some time as he knew his boss must be busy. In a while, once again, he checked the wristwatch and left to go to the president’s office, carrying a tablet, left by San Zemin.
First, he knocked on the door and then entered. He stepped towards his boss who sat in the Chair as she was going through the files in front of her.
His boss, who was so young when she first sat in the Lu corporation’s President chair, taking the place of her late husband, had changed now.
She was not that twenty-year-old young woman but looked a bit matured now. She looked serious as if all the responsibilities in the world lay on her shoulders, and she had nothing else left in life to do but work.
The only black and white color left in her life as she distanced herself from the colors. She wore a white shirt and black skirt, while the black jacket hung on her work chair’s backrest.
Her hair was tied in a neat bun, as usual, no makeup, but her skin was as radiant as before.
Being busy, Jiang Yuyan didn’t look at him but approved to continue what he was there for, "Hmm!"
"Today is the fourth young master’s convocation day," Xiao Min informed.
"Is it?" she asked casually.
Jiang Yuyan acted as if it was not important, but Xiao Min knew it was not the truth. He knew how his boss sent the suit for Lu Lijun as a gift, but through An Tian and how much she remembered and knew each and everything related to Lu Lijun.
"Hmm, and there is something I wish you to see," Xiao Min went with the flow that Jiang Yuyan set.
"Go ahead," Jiang Yuyan permitted as she finally looked at Xiao Min.
Putting the tablet on the table, he informed, "There are pictures of the fourth young master."
"Hmm." Saying Jiang Yuyan resumed her work.
Nodding, Xiao Min left. The moment the door closed, Jiang Yuyan stopped working and picked up the tablet as she went through the pictures one by one.
Once she was done, she kept the tablet back on the table and looked at the photo frame on her table, which had Lu Qiang’s picture.
"He didn’t disappoint you. I hope you are happy."
Jiang Yuyan was relieved that Lu Lijun always acted wisely even though he had so many things to complain about and be angry about. He did his best and never disappointed the ones who loved him, especially his elder brother Lu Qiang.
Knock-knock!!
Again, the office door opened, and the man in an ash grey suit stepped inside the office, walking with a cane’s support. Seeing him, Jiang Yuyan stood up from the Chair.
"Father, I would have come to your office," said Jiang Yuyan.
"It’s fine, dear." Saying. Lu Jinhai sat on the couch while Jiang Yuyan went to him.
After the accident, Lu Jinhai spent a long time in the wheelchair, but after going through the proper treatment, he could walk but not like before. He had to walk holding the cane.
Soon he resumed his work as the Chairman, and it lessened the burden of work from Jiang Yuyan. These two worked hard to get everything back to place, and Lu Jinhai taught so many things to Jiang Yuyan, just as he did with Lu Qiang.
Sitting on the couch, opposite to Mr. Chairman, Jiang Yuyan waited for him to talk. As he was there personally in her office, that meant Lu Jinhai had something to say.
"Xiao Dong showed me Lu Lijun’s picture today," Lu Jinhai informed.
"Hmm, I saw it too."
Lu Jinhai looked like he remembered something as he smiled lightly, "Time passed by so fast. That stubborn young child did his best even though he is angry with us."
"Hmm," Jiang Yuyan nodded and waited for the exact reason for what Lu Jinhai was there.
"I think it’s time to get him back home," said Lu Jinhai.
"Whatever father feels right," said Jiang Yuyan.
"Your opinion is more important, that’s why I am here."
"I agree with father," she commented.
"But I doubt if he would be back so easily. All these years, not even once, he asked to come back home. I waited for the day when he would ask, and I will let him visit the family once in a while, but he didn’t."
"He must be waiting for his father to ask him to come back home," Jiang Yuyan suggested.
Lu Jinhai cleared his throat as if he wished to spill out something that he hid, "Three years back, I asked him, but he rejected."
It surprised Jiang Yuyan as she didn’t know about it, and Lu Jinhai explained, "Your mother-in-law insisted, and she continued crying, so I had no other choice."
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuyan had nothing to say as she could understand one mother who missed her son.
Moreover, all these years, Lu Lijun didn’t allow anyone from the family to visit him, as if he was punishing everyone for what he went through. Other than his mother and elder brother Lu Feng, no one visted him.
"Let’s go home together today as work hours are over," Lu Jinhai suggested, and Jiang Yuyan agreed.
---------
In the evening, when Jiang Yuyan and Lu Jinhai reached home, everyone was in the living room and looked excited as if there was something big to celebrate about, which surprised Jiang Yuyan.
"Good that you are back early today."
That was elder Lu, who sat in the middle of the sofa beside his wife as he welcomed the two with a bright smile.
"Yes, grandpa."
Seeing her surprised expressions, Lu Jinhai informed, "They are ready to watch Lu Lijun’s convocation ceremony live."
"Yes, dear. It will start soon. Get ready and join us," said Ning Jiahui, who sat beside her daughter, Lu Lian.
She was the most excited person among all the family members and why not as it was her son’s important day.
Nodding, Jiang Yuyan left while Lu Jinhai straightaway joined his family members as he sat beside his brother, Lu Chen.
---------
The three friends reached university. Like these three, all the students who had to attend the convocation wore the same suits as the dress code.
"Can’t believe it’s our last day here."
Noah commented, and the other two agreed as they looked at the huge and widespread ancient European style building of one of the best and oldest universities globally.
The three looked around remembering the days they spent here, the best days of their lives, which made their friendship stronger for life.
The convocation ceremony was in the university’s widespread garden with a vast lawn to conduct such occasions. Everything around had decorated with the seasonal flowers.
It was almost the end of the spring and the summer’s start, so the weather was sunny and fresh but not so hot.
As they reached the garden, the entire place was filled with students who were about to receive their degrees, accompanied by their friends and families who came there to witness the critical day for the person they loved.
Noah looked at Jake as both knew Lu Lijun’s parents wouldn’t be here as this stubborn guy must have stopped them. Both didn’t know what to do as their families would be here while Lu Lijun would be alone.
"Both of you don’t think much. I am fine like this," Lu Lijun commented as he understood his friends and added, "Both of your parents are here, so be with them," he said, signaling them towards the two couples entering the garden area, Noah and Jake’s parents.
"Join us. Our parents would be happy to have you as they consider you as their son, too," Noah suggested though he knew the reply.
"Stop being formal," Lu Lijun warned, and Noah didn’t insist.
The parents reached these three. Lu Lijun greeted them and excused himself, being unaware that someone would surprise him the next moment.
