Chapter 77

Seeing Wen Qianqian's surprised expression, Shen Yanjun waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, it's okay. Ah Yan has deep feelings for his parents. Every year on the anniversary of his uncle and aunt's death, he goes to Southwest Flower City to personally select lilies and white roses."

After listening, Wen Qianqian pursed her lips lightly, and suddenly realized that Lu Xingyan's life in recent years has not been easy. She had heard from Shen Yanjun before that his parents had just died in an accident, and before the funeral was over, Lu Zhanxun began to go around asking for equity, planning to take over the entire Lu Group.

Lu Xingyan was originally studying well in high school in China, but because of this accident, he had to give up the opportunity to apply to the Imperial Capital University and go abroad. He even relied on Shen Yanjun for support for a while before his condition gradually improved.

Most fifteen or sixteen-year-olds in the world are studying hard in school. How many of them have experienced this? Even Assistant Yuan said that Lu Xingyan was a workaholic before, and only now is he slowly getting better.

Thinking of this, Wen Qianqian lowered her head, thinking about how the once lonely and aloof boy had grown up, taken back the Lu Group, and become the most famous business tycoon in Beijing, gaining both fame and fortune. However, the sudden death of his parents still became an indelible scar for him.

Thinking of this, she felt a slight soreness in her nose.

She looked at Shen Yanjun, thought for a moment, and then spoke softly: "I seem to have heard you say before that it has been more than ten years, but Ah Yan still can't let go. Why is that?"

Logically speaking, ten years is not a short time.

Shen Yanjun thought for a moment: "Actually, I don't think Ayan can let go. He really cared about me in the first few years. After his uncle and aunt passed away, he went abroad and lived in the same dormitory with me. At that time, Ayan was really miserable. He was forced into a corner by his uncle. He often screamed for his mother in his dreams at night and woke up in fright."

"Later, he tried every possible way to take back Lu Corporation, leaving him with little time to think about these things. All he could think about was work. To establish himself as a powerful leader of the group, he gave up almost all of his previous hobbies. He had no hobbies, no desires, and it seemed as if nothing could shake him in the slightest."

"But, in fact, I know that he has never gotten over the accidental death of his parents."

Shen Yanjun sighed: "The reason is actually very simple, because he has a very, very good relationship with his uncle and aunt. I heard that before his uncle got into trouble, he told him that he and his aunt went out of town together, and that they would bring back some special delicacies from out of town in the afternoon."

"Not long after we hung up the phone, my uncle and aunt were in a car accident, and the scene was quite tragic."

Shen Yanjun looked at Wen Qianqian and said, "I think there's another reason why Ah Yan couldn't let go for so many years. He couldn't understand why his uncle and aunt appeared in a small county town under City N. Logically, the Lu Group had no business there, and he hadn't heard of any activities outside the city. He couldn't understand why his uncle and aunt went there at that time."

"Maybe he felt that if he hadn't gone there suddenly, his uncle and aunt wouldn't have died at all."

After listening to this, Wen Qianqian shook her head heavily. No wonder Lu Xingyan had been brooding over it. His parents suddenly and inexplicably died in a small town he had never heard of. It was a pity to think about it.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Yanjun: “Is there anything I can do?”

Just as Shen Yanjun was about to say "No thanks", he suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, are you free the day after tomorrow? Why don't you come with me to accompany A Yan to visit the grave? He will definitely be happy if he knows you are going."

The day after tomorrow was the weekend, and she had nothing to do, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you the day after tomorrow."

Two days later, a black Bentley stopped at the cemetery with the best environment in the imperial capital. Lu Xingyan, dressed in a black shirt, was already waiting at the cemetery. He looked indifferently at Shen Yanjun, who got out of the car. Even though he was dressed in black, he still showed his flamboyant nature. As soon as Shen Yanjun got out of the car, he stuffed a large bunch of white roses beside him into his chest and said, "Be careful, hold it well."

Shen Yanjun muttered in dissatisfaction: “Tsk, he ordered people to work as soon as he got off the car.”

Lu Xingyan ignored him, turned around and prepared to leave with the offerings, when Shen Yanjun’s voice came from behind him: “Hey, hey, don’t leave so quickly, look who’s coming!”

Lu Xingyan turned around in surprise, and then saw Wen Qianqian, wearing a black windbreaker, getting out of the Bentley.

He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes and brows warmed instantly, with a surprised smile on his face: "Why are you here?"

Wen Qianqian looked at him and said softly, "I want to come over and see your uncle and aunt with you."

Lu Xingyan looked down at her, his expression changing from surprise to emotion: "Thank you."

He felt that she was like a rare ray of sunshine that appeared in his life, warm, passionate and firm, making people feel peaceful and unable to help but want to get close to her.

So he had always been very proactive in trying to get close to her, but he never expected that she would actually take the initiative to appear when he needed her.

At this moment, although he simply said thank you, his heart seemed to be surrounded by the hot current of hot springs.

"Oh, Ah Yan, what are you and your sister-in-law thanking for?" Shen Yanjun couldn't stand it anymore and urged beside him: "Hurry up and leave, don't let your uncle and aunt wait anxiously!"

Lu Xingyan: ...

The heart that had just melted froze back immediately when it heard Shen Yanjun's voice.

He glanced at Shen Yanjun expressionlessly, then turned around and led the way.

This is the cemetery with the best environment in the imperial capital. The flowers and plants planted everywhere look very lively, but compared with other cemeteries, this place looks particularly quiet and cold.

There were only three of them in the huge cemetery. They walked silently, one after the other, and no one spoke.

Finally they arrived in front of a cemetery. Lu Xingyan stopped and Wen Qianqian also stopped.

This is a double cemetery. The surroundings are kept very tidy and it looks like someone takes care of it regularly. There are photos of Lu Xingyan's parents printed on the tombstone. Wen Qianqian can tell at a glance that Lu Xingyan's mother must have been a famous beauty when she was young, and Lu Xingyan looks very similar to her.

“Mom and Dad, Ayan is here to see you.” Lu Xingyan spoke softly, took the white rose from Shen Yanjun, gently placed it next to the grave, and then lit a stick of incense.

Wen Qianqian followed his example and lit a stick of incense.

Smoke curled up as Lu Xingyan placed all the offerings, slowly squatted down, and stared at the tombstone quietly, with unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

He watched silently, Shen Yanjun and Wen Qianqian had been silently by his side. After an unknown amount of time, her phone suddenly vibrated several times. She looked down and saw that it was Captain Gu calling.

She didn't complain about disturbing the quiet atmosphere here, so she gently said to Lu Xingyan, "I'm going to answer a phone call over there," and quickly ran out of the cemetery.

After she left, Shen Yanjun looked at her back and said softly to Lu Xingyan: "Uncle and aunt should be very relieved this year. After so many years, you finally have a girlfriend. Their spirits in heaven can also rest in peace."

Lu Xingyan took a deep breath and looked at his parents' faces in front of the grave, which were still frozen in time from more than a decade ago. He murmured, "Mom and Dad, I have a girl I like. I brought her to see you today. Are you happy?"

When Shen Yanjun heard this, he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He couldn't bear to see such a scene, and it would make him want to cry.

Lu Xingyan continued, "She is a very good girl, honest and kind. If you were still here, you would probably like her very much."

He took a rose from the bouquet of white roses beside him and gently placed it in front of the grave. His eyes were a little red. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. She treats me very well. I will try my best to catch up with her and spend the rest of my life with her. You can rest assured."

After he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and the white roses in front of the tomb trembled slightly, as if nodding.

Lu Xingyan looked at the flowers, his heart aching. It seemed that no matter how many years passed, he would still feel like a piece of his heart was missing. Especially when the roses trembled slightly just now, as if nodding softly, he couldn't help but think, if his mother were still alive, hearing him say that there was a girl he liked, she would probably nod with such relief, right?

After a while, he muttered about Wen Qianqian's situation, took a deep breath, and changed the subject: "Mom and Dad, I plan to hold a board meeting in the next few days to remove Lu Zhanxun."

When he mentioned the name, his eyes turned cold. He then looked at the photo of the man in front of the grave and said, "Dad, I know you're soft-hearted towards your brother who's ten years younger than you, but I'll never forget. On the day of your funeral, before I even left the gate of the Lu family mansion, he and a group of board members blocked me. They said, "Dad, you're dead, and the Lu family can't be handed over to a teenager like me." They forced me to sign an agreement to give up my inheritance rights, otherwise I wouldn't be allowed to go to the funeral home."

At this point, Lu Xingyan bit his lip and said, "To be honest, Mom and Dad, you should understand me. I'm not greedy for power. If he really wanted my shares back then, he could have just told me openly that he's my uncle. I would have given it to him if he had asked."

"But I can't bear him using the funeral as a threat to prevent me from seeing you one last time."

Lu Xingyan sneered, "Thanks to him, I was stuck in the mansion with no way out. I really didn't make it to the funeral home. I was scared and resentful at the time. I always thought our family had a harmonious relationship and that Dad and his brothers were dating. But I didn't expect that as soon as you left, he would suddenly transform into a demon."

"Thinking back to the days when we lived together in the mansion, I couldn't tell whether Lu Zhanxun's respect for you and his love for me was genuine or just an act. It turns out that our family never realized that he was such a person."

"In the days that followed, his actions at the company repeatedly crossed my boundaries, convincing me that he was essentially a profit-driven person who would do anything as long as it benefited him. So, I suddenly felt relieved. Since his previous kindness to our family was all pretense for profit, I had nothing to worry about anymore."

He looked at the tombstone in front of him and said slowly, "I have been looking for an opportunity to bring him down for the past two years. Now is the best time."

He sighed, "I've made such a big decision, but I'm only telling you today. I'm sorry I won't be able to hear your opinions anymore."

"Mom and Dad, I hope I'm doing the right thing."

He finished speaking in one breath, as if he had finally let go and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Wen Qianqian finished her call and came in from outside. Seeing Lu Xingyan and Shen Yanjun both looking serious, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xingyan shook his head lightly, his eyes curved as he looked at her: "It's okay, I just made a decision."
