1.59% Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband / Chapter 26: The Undeniable Truth Of The Future

章節 26: The Undeniable Truth Of The Future

At Jiang residence.

Jiang Yuyan had made a mess of her bed as she reminisced her stolen first kiss. Frowning, she got up from the bed and suddenly remembered her brother's words about her horoscope for that day.

Entering the bathroom, she completed her routine and dashed downstairs to go to the living room.

Reaching there, she picked up a newspaper from the center table and started to flip through the pages in a hurry. Finally, she found what she was looking for, and when she was about to read it a voice disturbed her.

"Going through your horoscope again?"

Jiang Yuyan didn't turn her head. Instead, she just closed her eyes and muttered, "F**k." She knew who that was. It was her brother standing behind her.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuyan turned to look at her brother. "What are you talking about, brother Yang?" She smiled.

"You came running downstairs with a panicked expression, picked up the newspaper, and were going through it hastily, so I thought you were reading your horoscope. Did something happen?" He asked calmly, sitting on the sofa lazily.

"What could have happened? I was just reading the newspaper to get updated on what's happening in our country," Jiang Yuyan explained.

"Is that so? Go on. But if you mean to read the horoscope from this morning, you will not find it anywhere in the newspaper." Jiang Yang pretended to believe everything his sister said.

"Why? Then where is it?" she asked curiously.

"It's here." He pointed his forefinger to his head.

"Huh? So you made it by yourself. You—" She threw a cushion in his direction, hitting him in the face.

"Ouch. My handsome face. It hurts… ah." He acted as if he was hurt.

"Stop overacting, you drama queen." Saying, she threw another cushion at him.

"That means you were searching for that horoscope." He laughed out loud as he continued.

"We were going out for the first time in the city after so many years, and I wanted to make it exciting for you. I couldn't bear to see you relax, so I made up something about the theft." He laughed again, overjoyed that he had succeeded.

"You are so cunning, brother Yang." Saying, she leaned back against the sofa and folded her hands in front of her stomach.

"That's true but the way you reacted, I think my words became true. Did something happen? Did someone steal something from you?"

"Just stop it," she said, annoyed.

  "I'll tell you what is possible. You got your period and found out that someone had stolen your sanitary napkins," Jiang Yang teased lightly through his laughter.

"Why would someone steal a sanitary napkin instead of my bag? Can't you be more logical?"

"Nope! Talking logical is not my forte," the other said.

"You… you are impossible. Words are not enough to curse you."  She threw another cushion at him.

"Tell me something new," he challenged, having caught the cushion.

"What's going on here?" It was their mother. She came to the living room and saw the two cushions lying on the floor.

"Nothing, mom. Yuyan is in Kung fu Panda mode!" He made a face at his sister.

"Just to beat this annoying Tigress."

"Hey, why do you always give me the names of female animation characters? First Matilda and now Tigress!" A groan came from her lips.

"Angry bird! Kung fu Panda! Are those females then?"

"I said it because those are cute and suit you well."

"I said it because you annoy me like a female chatterbox."

They would have continued if not for their mother's interruption.

"Enough, you both. Dinner is ready. Come to the dining table," Mo Ruolan said and went back to the kitchen. She was used to their childish fights.

"Okay, Mom!" Saying in unison, the siblings headed to the dining room.

At Lu mansion.

While everyone was busy discussing the matter of Lu Qiang's marriage, a sports car entered the premises at full speed.

"This brat came back early today. Did the sunrise from the west?" Grandpa Lu asked.

"I didn't check it, father," Lu Chen said, surprised at his son's early arrival.

It was rare for him to come back home before midnight.

"Brother Lu Feng, come here," Lu Lijun raised his voice to call.

Lu Feng had seen the family sitting in the garden and opted to go to his room as he was drunk but having heard his brother call him, he changed his plan. He couldn't say no to Lu Lijun, whom he loved and cared for. It didn't matter if others were family or outsiders; he simply didn't care for them.

Because of Lu Lijun, Lu Feng walked towards the direction of the others. Instead of heading to the sitting area, he stopped a few meters away and sat on a wooden bench under a tree.

It was dark under the tree. As he was drunk, he didn't want to get too close to his family. He also didn't want Lu Lijun to see him in such a state.

Lu Lijun approached Lu Feng and plopped down beside him. "Brother, did you know, everyone is discussing brother Lu Qiang's marriage?"

Lu Feng didn't reply. He sat silently with his head tilted towards the sky, both his hand on either side of the table, supporting his body. Even his eyes were closed.

"Brother Lu Feng, when are you going to marry?" Lu Lijun asked.

"I won't," Lu Feng replied, his head still tilted upwards.

"Why?"

"Because, I find girls annoying, just like you do," Lu Feng replied.

"Really?" Lu Lijun laughed.

The other hummed in reply.

"But the girl whom Brother Lu Qiang will choose will be a good person. I trust him."

Lu Feng hummed again.

"He said that she would love me and care for me too. Just like he does."

"Mmmm..."

"So I promised him that I would love and care for her too."

"Mmmm..." Lu Feng didn't talk much instead kept humming, as pretending to listen and agreeing to Lu Lijun's words.

"Brother Lu Feng, she will not be annoying like other girls. So brother Feng, you will love and care for her too, right?"

Lu Feng didn't reply. He knew Lu Lijun didn't understand what he was saying, so he preferred to keep quiet.

"Brother Lu Feng, are you listening?" Not getting a reply, he shook Lu Feng's hand and asked again. "You'll love her like us, right?"

"Mmm..." Lu Feng hummed, replying because he didn't want his brother to repeat the question over and over again.

"That's great," Lu Lijun said happily.

These two didn't know that this promise which was made so casually would turn into the undeniable truth of their lives in the future.


章節 27: Wounds Of The Past

Lu Feng's love for Lu Lijun was so extreme that sometimes it created big problems and Lu Qiang had to clean up the mess. 

In the initial days of Lu Lijun's primary schooling, a few kids from the school bullied him. One day, when Lu Lijun came back home, he was upset but didn't tell anyone what happened. He just spent his time sitting inside the Gazebo as it was his favorite place to spend time whenever he faced any kind of trouble. At that time, Lu Qiang was out of the country.

When Lu Feng reached home in the evening, he couldn't see this little lad at home, so he went to look for him in the garden. He knew where he could find Lu Lijun. When he saw Lu Lijun sitting quietly in the Gazebo, he understood something was wrong with him and asked him what happened?

Other than Lu Qiang, Lu Lijun was close to Lu Feng and would share everything with him. After a few moments of hesitation, he finally revealed what had happened in school.

Lu Feng thought bullying was normal at the start of school, and it would be over soon, but when he saw the scratches on Lu Lijun's hands and bruises on his legs, he couldn't control his fury.

He took out all the information about the kids who bullied his brother and went to their houses. Lu Feng destroyed their property and threatened the parents with worse damage if their kid bullied his little brother again.

He even went to Lu Lijun's school and threatened the teacher with their jobs- if his brother were hurt, they would lose their jobs. Knowing how powerful the Lu family was, they tried their best not to let such a thing happen again. The news spread throughout the school, and nobody dared to bully him again.

Lu Qiang confronted Lu Feng when he came back to China and found out about the incident. He made sure to compensate the families who had received damage because of it.

There were various such incidents over time, and Lu Qiang would come forward every time to clean up the mess. Lu Feng always listened to everything Lu Qiang said about the younger brother and whenever Lu Qiang confronted him. He thought that their ways of loving Lu Lijun were different. As Lu Lijun grew up, these things stopped.

Late at night, elder Lu's bedroom.

Elder Lu, his wife Zhao Shuang, and their two sons were talking about something serious.

"Did you send an invitation to the Ming family?" Elder Lu asked Lu Jinhai, carrying a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, father!" Lu Jinhai replied.

"Do you think they will attend our family event?" Zhao Shuang asked.

Giving out a deep sigh, Elder replied, "I don't think so. It has been 28 years, and Ming Shihong still hasn't forgiven us."

"What happened back then is all my fault," said Lu Jinhai, feeling sad to see his father upset.

"Brother! It was not your fault. What happened at that time was unfortunate, but don't blame yourself for that." Lu Chen consoled his brother.

Nodding, elder Lu spoke, "Lu Chen is right. That was not your fault. Who could have thought that child will take such an extreme step?"  Pausing for a while, the elder mumbled with a sad tone, "Ming Fangsu! Such a lovely girl. What a tragic end for a beautiful soul!"

Lu Jinhai added, "You are right, father. Even I never thought she could do something like that."

"We can't change the past but can't we start over again with them?" Zhao Shuang asked.

"I want to, but I know my friend Ming Shihong very well. He won't see my face ever again. I am waiting for the day when this hatred will disappear, and we will be together just like we were in the past. But after all these years it looks like it's just my wishful thinking," Elder Lu said, his voice sad and eyes were moist.

Nobody said anything because no words were enough to heal the wounds of the past.

————-

Next morning at Ming Mansion.

Elder Ming Shihong was having breakfast with his son Ming Yusheng and his daughter-in-law Zhang Jie.

"Father, Lu family sent us an invitation card of the celebration of Elder Lu's wedding anniversary," Zhang Jei said while passing the card to her husband, Ming Yusheng.

Hearing the Lu family's name, the elder Ming's face turned red with anger, and he exclaimed, "Throw it in the trash or burn it."

"But father, elder Lu was your very special friend in the past. So many years have passed. We should forget everything and move forward," Zhang Jei suggested that only angered the two men.

"Enough!" Ming Yusheng stopped his wife after witnessing his father's anger.

Ming Shihong got furious at her words and said, "How dare you say such a thing. Did you forget what they did to my Ming Fangsu?"

"Forgive her father. She didn't mean that." Ming Yusheng tried to calm down his father, but it was late.

"Then what does she mean? They killed my daughter, and she is asking me to forgive the people stained with my daughter's blood." Elder Ming was burning with anger as he continued. "When one day I die, don't bother to call those bastards Lu Huan and his son Lu Jinhai to my funeral. If they come, throw them out immediately. I won't forgive them even after my death."

Zhang Jie wanted to say something but couldn't say anything as elder Ming Shihong got up and left the dining table in a hurry.

"Why did you even bring up Lu Family? Don't you know how much father hates them? How can you forget what they did to my sister? Even I'll never forgive them," said Ming Yusheng.

"What happened back then was not completely their fault."

"It was only their fault, and that's the truth. Never forget it," Ming Yusheng said and left the dining table as well.
