Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

Chapter 228 Wanting Lu Boyan to Never Stand Up

The second day.

Su Jianan had not expected that Lu Boyan would bring her to this place.

A place where her beloved ones rested forever, where the dead and the alive were separated, and where the most sorrow of the world were burdened.

Lu Boyan put the flowers in front of the tombstone.

The flowers were still fresh and their petals were stained with crystal clear waterdrops, showing a bright scene of vitality, though the photo on the tombstone was yellow and old.

Life was so insignificant to the time that it never stopped its steps.

One did not need to take a closer look to find that Lu Boyan looked like his father, especially his facial outline. The difference was that he looked more frosty and sharp. When he put on a serious look, he gave other an aggressive feeling.

In the photo, Lu Boyan’s father wore a three-piece business suit in the style of that time with a pair of metal rimless glasses. His hair was slicked back neatly, which made him look gentler and more modest.

He should be a very good lawyer at that time.

Unfortunately, the day about fourteen years ago, he departed the world in a car accident.

“I chose this place for my father.” Lu Boyan stroked the picture of his father on the tombstone. “He loved mountains and rivers. When he was still alive, as long as there was time, he would take me and my mother to go outing.”

Su Jianan held Lu Boyan’s other hand tightly and said hesitantly, “How did… the accident happen at that time? Mom told me that you were in the car and saw the whole thing.”

Lu Boyan closed his eyes, but Su Jianan still caught a flash of pain in his eyes.

All of a sudden, she couldn’t bear to see him like that. “If you don’t want to tell me, you can…”

Lu Boyan interrupted her in the middle of her speech—

“At that time, my father won a lawsuit which was considered impossible to win. He planned to take my mother and me to travel. I followed him to buy a tent, and when we drove to the intersection of Tianchang road, a big trunk hit our car. My father was dead when he was pulled out of the car, and he had something to tell me…”

As he said that, Lu Boyan’s hands were unconsciously tightened.

It’s been 14 years.

.

.

But the truck that hit them, his father’s hug that protected him at the moment of the car accident, and the face of his father, who died immediately after being dragged out the crashed car and calling his name…

All these were clearly engraved in his mind, and whether it was 14 years or 140 years that had passed, they were so unforgettable as if they had happened yesterday.

Boyan…

It was the last word that his father left in the world. Even if he was omnipotent, he would never know what his father wanted to say to him at that time.

“The last sentence, my mum said to us was telling my brother to take care of me and himself.” Su Jianan looked over at Lu Boyan. “So I guess, your father wanted to tell you the same thing back then. Whether he is with you or not, he must have hoped that you and your mother would live a happy life.”

Lu Boyan remained silent.

He looked at Su Jianan, revealing all his sadness in his eyes.

Through his eyes, Su Jianan seemed to see a boy who was frightened and helpless at the moment of the car accident fourteen years ago.

She quietly gripped Lu Boyan’s hands.

She knew better than anyone that the pain of losing a family could be healed only by time.

Facing such irreversible sadness, all sincere comfort would be useless to ease the pain.

While they were in silence, familiar footsteps approached them from behind, and Su Jianan turned back subconsciously—

“Mom?”

Surprised for a moment, Su Jianan understood that today was the anniversary of Lu Boyan’s father’s death, and naturally, Tang Yulan would appear there.

Under the black umbrella held by her servant, Tang Yulan was not so surprised to see Su Jianan and Lu Boyan there, saying while smiling, “I’ve seen your car.”

Tang Yulan went to her husband’s tombstone calmly, and her well-cared hand stroked the yellowed photo on it.

The smile around her lips gradually turned a little bit sad.

“It’s been 14 years, and I’m getting old, but you are still young.” Tang Yulan touched her face and suddenly laughed, and her eyes turned wet with tears. “Would you loathe me?”

“You left me alone in this world.

“How could you be so cruel…?”

Tang Yulan almost burst into tears. Su Jianan went to hold her hand. “Mom…”

Tang Yulan waved her hand and signaled that she was fine.

She took Su Jianan to the front of the gravestone and looked at the picture on it and said as if her dead husband were in front of her, “This is Jianan, Boyan’s wife. How I hope you can see her, to see how beautiful our daughter in law is.” She suddenly stopped talking as if she had thought of something and then continued to say, “Will you be unhappy to hear I say that? Maybe you can see us now.”

Su Jianan grabbed Tang Yulan’s hand, too distressed to say any words.

“Have she been lying to herself that her husband still could see her for more than a decade?”

Tang Yulan showed a look of “I’m fine”, rubbing her eyes. “Jianan, I have a few words to tell Boyan. Could you go to wait us in the car?”

Su Jianan subconsciously looked at Lu Boyan, who nodded to her. She understood what he meant and turned to leave, but she could not help but look back occasionally, only to feel depressed looking at Lu Boyan’s and Tang Yulan’s back.

“Boyan.” Tang Yulan’s look became serious, and she slowly opened her mouth. “I have always known that you have hidden something from me. Today, in front of your father, promise me, you will not risk your life at anything.”

She had lost her husband and could not afford to lose more.

She was just a woman and would rather let go of her hatred, spend her remaining years with her grandchildren, and then go to another world to join her husband.

She didn’t want to see any more “man-made accidents”.

“Mom, I know what I’m doing. You can rest assured that I will keep myself safe.” Lu Boyan looked indifferent and said firmly word by word, “I know what I’m doing.”

Tang Yulan covered her chest, and her heart beat wildly. “Does Jianan know it?”

“When I can’t keep it from her, I will tell her,” Lu Boyan said, “there is no need to let her know now.”

Tang Yulan wanted to persuade him, but in the end, she just said two words, “Be careful.”

She gave birth to Lu Boyan, watching him grow up and knowing his character better than anyone else.

He had prepared for revenge for many years, as long as the hatred had rooted in his heart. It was almost impossible to ask him to give up now.

“I know.” Lu Boyan helped Tang Yulan up. “Mom, I promise you, I will handle things as soon as possible.”

Tang Yulan nodded. “Don’t keep Jianan waiting for too long, you go back first.”

“Good. Aunt Wang—” Lu Boyan called the servant who came with Tang Yulan. “Please take care of my mother.”

“I’ll, young master.” Aunt Wang smiled and nodded. “I will accompany madam.”

Lu Boyan turned around and saw Su Jianan standing outside the car door and staring at them.

Winter was approaching, and the weather in City A was getting colder and colder. Today, the cold wind in the suburbs was even stronger. Su Jianan only wore a thin coat, which obviously could not keep her warm, so, she could only use her arms to hug herself.

Fool.

Lu Boyan unconsciously stepped up. He was so hurried that he opened the door of the car and pulled Su Jianan in before he could say anything. “Haven’t I asked you to wait for me in the car?”

“I’m worried about you.” Su Jianan furrowed her delicate eyebrows. “How is mom?”

“She is fine.” Lu Boyan held Su Jianan’s hand in his hand. “After these few days, she will recover from the bad mood. We should not bother her now and give her some space.”

“…” Su Jianan’s eyes suddenly became a bit confused. “Will there be a day…”

Before she could utter her worries, Lu Boyan interrupted her. “No,” he resolutely said, “what you are worried about will never happen.”

Su Jianan then calmed down.

At this time, the black car slowly started, and then drove out of the cemetery. Lu Boyan looked back at the place.

Fourteen years ago, he buried his father there.

For fourteen years, he had never forgotten what caused his father to turn into ashes.

The murderer—Kang Ruicheng, was still at large.

A cold light flashed within Lu Boyan’s eyes—in any case, he would bring Kang Ruicheng to justice.

However, he did not know that at the moment, Kang Ruicheng had learned of all his information.

After reading through the A4 papers, Kang Ruicheng crushed them up and threw them to the ground forcefully as if he were throwing a bomb.

Dongzi couldn’t figure it out. “Brother, what happened?”

He had never seen such a horrible Kang Ruicheng, who looked like a beast that smelled blood and wanted to swallow its prey with its big mouth the next second.

“It is actually him.” Kang Ruicheng’s smile was particularly cold. “No wonder, no wonder I felt familiar with him at first sight. Lu Boyan, Lu, surnamed Lu … I should have doubted it!”

He opened a folder, inside which was a newspaper from a dozen years ago, and some words on it were illegible, but the big title was still clear—

A well-known lawyer died in a car accident, and his wife and child committed suicide.

In the report, there was one black-and-white photograph of the undulating sea and two pairs of shoes on the beach.

At that time, everyone believed that Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan committed suicide, and Kang Ruicheng also thought that he had successfully forced them to death.

However, Lu Boyan was still alive and had lived a good life in the United States for many years. He also returned to China to set up Lu Enterprises and became an important figure in City A.

Originally, the Kang Family should be the one that was a powerful force in City A.

A sneer rose from Kang Ruicheng’s lip corner, and when he thought of Su Jianan, the smile became even fiercer. “Very good.”

Anyway, he had once regretted that he killed Tang Yulan and Lu Boyan too easily. Now that they were still alive, he could torture them slowly.

As for Su Jianan, Lu Boyan seemed to love her very much. If he grabbed her from Lu Boyan, would Lu Boyan collapse? Just like him, who lost his family overnight?

“Dongzi! I want to know the information about Lu Enterprises, all detailed information!”

“I will go to fetch them now!” Dongzi did not know what happened to Kang Ruicheng, but he still hurriedly go to collect the information.

Kang Ruicheng regained his mood and received a call from A Ning.

“I just confirmed one thing, Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan of City A … are very good friends.” A Ning’s voice was full of uncertainty. “Lu Boyan is a very tough guy, and I’m afraid that it will not be so easy to win Mu Sijue.”

“They are friends?” Kang Ruicheng’s face showed a snake-like smile. “Good, I’ll defeat them all together! This time, I don’t want Lu Boyan to die, but to never stand up!”

A Ning, in the distant City G, was shocked—didn’t he want to deal with Mu Sijue? When did he start to target Lu Boyan?
