Chapter 1320: Her Past

"What did she say?" Jiang Peizhi asked.

"She asked us to talk to the Choi family to proceed with her engagement with Alex," Mo Ruolan replied.

Jiang Yang sighed, "Nothing surprising from my sister," he said and stood up, "Seems like I need to talk to her."

"Do so. It's not like we have any objection but I don't want her to decide anything in haste," Jiang Peizhi said to which the other two nodded.

Jiang Yang went to his room and dialled his sister's number, "Where are you?" he asked right away.

"My place," she replied.

"I'll be there," he said and hung up the phone and changed the clothes.

He straightaway went to Jiang Yuyan's home where he never had been before but in the past when Lu Qiang was planning a birthday surprise for Jiang Yuyan, he got to know about this place from him. Finally, after more than ten years he was going there.

When Jiang Yang reached there, the butler and Xiao Min were surprised to see him but as he was there, no one stopped him. He must have been there to check on his sister.

"Yuyan?" He asked.

"Upstairs. The second door," Xiao Min replied.

Jiang Yang went there and knocked on the door where he heard, "Come in."

Jiang Yang entered the room only to his sister sitting on the couch and asking him to sit. "Have a seat."

There was no need for her to ask how he came there as she was sure behind her back these people were aware of so many things.

He sat on the couch and asked, "How are you?"

"I am fine," she replied casually.

"Are you sure about what you said to mother?" he asked directly.

"Hmm," she nodded.

"Do you really think Alex is good for you?"

"Hmm," she nodded again.

"Give me at least three reasons."

"He is a practical person and not into emotions. He is successful and mature," she stopped.

Jiang Yang smirked seeing his foolish sister, "And third?"

"He lives in the USA so naturally I have to move there too," she answered.

"Why do I feel like you are only running away?" he countered.

She averted her sight from her brother, "Why would I?"

He ignored her question and asked, "What exactly are you running away from?"

"I am not," she insisted.

"Are you running away from your changed feelings?" he asked again.

She paused for a moment and looked at him, "Nonsense! What changed feelings?"

"That you should ask yourself."

"I am just tired of everything and only want to move away from here."

"You can do it without using Alex. What is the need of using him as an excuse?"

"Brother, you think too much. And don't call your soon to be brother-in-law as my excuse."

"Are you doing it so that Lu Lijun will give up on you forever?" he asked.

"I have done enough for him till now," she replied.

"You will regret it, Yuyan," he warned.

"I won't as long as I can leave from here."

"If your feelings have changed, you just need to accept them instead of running away from them. No one is going to blame you for anything. You are only making things difficult for you and him."

"Other than Lu Qiang, if anyone is there who can love you the same, it is only....."

"Alex, I chose Alex," she interrupted him.

Jiang Yang chuckled, "I didn't know my sister has turned into a coward now."

She didn't look bothered with what he said, "Brother, if you are done, you should leave."

Jiang Yang stood up, "I didn't expect anything different when I came here," and left.

Jiang Yuyan who acted so cold in front of him and didn't show she was getting affected by his words and she felt bad to act like this with his dear brother, closed her eyes and buried leaned back on the couch as she looked regretful.

Jiang Yang sat in his car and went to Lu Feng's home. The moment Lu Feng opened the door, he asked, "What the hell is your brother doing? He can't even convince my sister. She is about to marry someone else already."

"Calm down, Jiang Yang," Lu Feng signalled him to get inside first.

Just as Jiang Yang sat on the sofa, Lu Feng spoke, "My brother is trying his best but your sister is just impossible to deal with."

"Is he really Lu Qiang's brother? I mean Lu Qiang could win her heart but him...."

"I know you are frustrated but do you think it is right to take it on Lu Lijun? Do you even think the conditions both brothers faced are even similar? At that time she was stubborn but now she is beyond that. It's only Lu Lijun who can keep up with this and still try his best."

Jiang Yang looked helpless. "Before she was easy to talk to but now you can't even say anything to her. How can she be so sure of marrying him?" Jiang Yang looked at Lu Feng, "You know her past. Do you really think she can even think about anyone?"

"I know."

"It is all your fault, Lu Feng."

"Mine? What did I do?"

"If you had married her at that time, then things would have been different."

Lu Feng sighed, "Jiang Yang, let it go now."

"What more can I do even?"

"I'll get you water. Calm yourself down first."

The two friends talked about what to do with one stubborn woman and just then the door of the apartment got unlocked and Lu Lijun entered.

He looked at Lu Feng and Jiang Yang but said nothing and quietly sat on the sofa.

"What happened? Why do you look so down? The talk with her didn't go well?" Lu Feng asked.

"Doesn't seem like it, Instead now she wants to get engaged in a hurry," he replied as he helplessly moved his hands through his hair and leaned back on the sofa as if he had given up.

"So, are you giving up?" Jiang Yang asked annoyingly.

"What more can I do when she likes him," Lu Lijun said and stood up to go stand by the window. "After knowing her situation, I don't want her to suffer more because of me. If she can be happy like that, I can only agree to it."

Jiang Yang felt frustrated, "Happy? I know she is not happy at all. She can never be. It was you who made her take this decision or I had my plan of taking her away and letting her live her life once you are back. You are the reason for all this."

Lu Lijun was calm. Though it hurt him, after seeing her in pain, he was ready to do what she wanted. "Maybe, but if this is the way she finds her happiness....."

"Bullshit!" Jiang Yang exclaimed and looked at Lu Feng who wanted to stop the argument, "Lu Feng, will you tell him or do you want me to tell him about her past. Tell him why she can never marry anyone."

Hearing it, Lu Lijun looked at the two, "What past?"
