Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

After Jiang Yuyan managed to send Lu Lijun away, she went to the gallery and waited for Lu Lian to return home as she continued to track her car's location on her mobile.

After a long wait, finally, a car entered Lu Mansion's premises which belonged to Lu Lian. Jiang Yuyan gave out a sigh of relief as if all of her worries had disappeared seeing Lu Lian back safely.

Though Lu Lian was a well-mannered and calm-looking gentle girl, Jiang Yuyan was aware of her temper and why not, like brother like a sister. When something happened to upset or provoke them, all the Lu siblings were the same. Jiang Yuyan was sure the difficult time of Ming Rusheng's life had started from now on.

Lu Lian stepped out of the car and hurried to go inside Lu Mansion, ignoring the butler who greeted her.

Jiang Yuyan wanted to go to Lu Lian right away but thought to give her some time alone and returned inside her room from the gallery. For now, seeing her back was enough.

Lu Lian went to her room straightaway. As it was late and no one was out in the living room, she didn't have to face anyone while trying to hide her teary eyes.

Getting inside her room, she threw her bag on the couch and straightaway went to the bathroom and stood under the shower, expecting those non-stop tears to wash away soon, but it didn't happen.

Whatever she tried, she couldn't stop herself from crying. After spending a long time, she finally stepped out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and didn't even bother to dry her wet hair. She sat in front of the dresser with her head lowered down, not willing to look at her own face.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, but Lu Lian didn't react to it. Jiang Yuyan, who thought to give some time alone to Lu Lian, couldn't be at peace without seeing her.

Jiang Yuyan saw Lu Lian sitting in front of the dresser with her hair still wet and water dripping out from them. Jiang Yuyan went to her wardrobe and pulled out a dry towel as she placed it on Lu Lian's head and started drying her hair, not saying a single word.

Lu Lian still didn't react as she sat the same way, and tears started to roll down her eyes when she realized Jiang Yuyan's presence.

Jiang Yuyan picked up the hairdryer as she said while spreading Lu Lian's hair with her fingers gently, "You will catch a cold if you keep your hair wet."

Lu Lian finally looked at Jiang Yuyan through the mirror, who was looking back at her and gave her an assuring light smile. Lu Lian had nothing to say. While still sitting, she turned around in her rotating dresser chair and hugged Jiang Yuyan by wrapping her hands around her waist.

Jiang Yuyan held the dryer in one hand while her free hand patted Lu Lian's head.

"I am sorry, Yuyan," Lu Lian said between her sobs.

Jiang Yuyan preferred to listen to her.

"I fell for the wrong person. I am sorry," Lu Lian said again and continued crying while hugging Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Yuyan let her cry. Once her crying and sobs turned lighter and she let go of Jiang Yuyan, Jiang Yuyan went to the coffee table in the room and fetched water for her and asked her to drink.

Lu Lain obediently listened to her and had water.

Jiang Yuyan pulled one chair from the coffee table and kept it to sit in front of Lu Lian. "Now tell me."

"He hurt my family and I didn't know. If I had known, I would have never even let him stand in front of me," Lu Lian mumbled hurriedly, her voice turned hoarse due to continuous crying.

"He did nothing of that sort," Jiang Yuyan finally said.

"He did. I know everything."

"It was a mistake when he was young. We all make lots of mistakes and one needs to learn from them."

"He could have helped to avoid elder's brother's accident, but he just ignored everything just because he hated my brother."

"No one could have stopped it. The situations were different," Jiang Yuyan tried to explain.

Lu Lian looked at Jiang Yuyan, feeling surprised, "After what he did with you and you know what he did by using brother Lu Han, you are still taking his side."

"He did nothing with me. He is not that kind of a person," Jiang Yuyan informed. "About brother Lu Han, he is repaying in his own way. These two had gone through a lot, too, so it's time for us to forget everything from the past and forgive them."

"You can, but I can't. If they were strangers, I would have let it slide, but one is my brother, and the other one is….." Lu Lian stopped. "I...can never forgive them. My brother had never hurt anyone and always cared for others, so why did those people had to do this to him?"

Hearing her, Jiang Yuyan's eyes turned teary too, but it was not the time for her to cry instead of consoling Lu Lian.

"We can't bring him back, so there is no use crying over it. We can only be strong and do what he had expected from us," said Jiang Yuyan and wiped Lu Lian's tiers.

"I know, but I can't forgive them...Never…"

"When I got to know it, I was the same as you. Just like me, you need time too. Trust me; time can heal everything."

"But there is no way I will forgive brother Han and him."

Jiang Yuyan just nodded slightly as there was no use in making her understand when she was hurt and angry.

"You look tired. It would be good if you sleep," is what Jiang Yuyan could say.

Lu Lian nodded though she knew, there was no way sleep will come to her. She just didn't want Jiang Yuyan to worry about her.

Tucking Lu Lian into bed and turning off the lights, Jiang Yuyan left. Just as Jiang Yuyan reached the second floor, she saw Lu Lijun standing out of his room.
