Chapter 1620: Jared's Visit
The next day, Lu Lijun had gone to the office and was busy with work and meeting, when suddenly an unexpected guest arrived at the Lu Mansion. The security guard had informed the home about the arrival of this guest and needed permission to enter.
"Who is he, Yuyan?" Elder Lu asked, "I feel like I have heard his name. Is that the
businessman Lu Lijun dealing with recently?"
"Yes, Grandpa," Jiang Yuyan answered, wondering why he was here and told the security
guard to allow him to enter. She was planning to meet him long back but Lu Feng had stopped her, maybe this was the chance for her to meet this person, finally.
Ning Jiahui felt worried, "Will it be alright to let him enter the home when all men are not home?"
"It's alright, mother. He is not that reckless to do something to harm our family in our own home," Jiang Yuyan assured, "Let's see what he is here for."
The car had already arrived at the door of the mansion and the guest was led inside the drawing room.
She watched a tall foreigner clad in an expensive suit enter the drawing room with the servant who led them inside, his assistant following him.
Ning Jiahui told the butler to inform the office about this guest and went to attend him.
"Good morning, Mr Lu," the man spoke to elder Lu, "I am Jared Magnus," he turned to Jiang Yuyan, "I am sure Ms Jiang had already recognised me."
Jiang Yuyan was not pleased to see him but she had to be a good host even though he was the enemy. She nodded, "Have a seat, Mr Magnus."
Jared sat on the sofa while his assistant stood on the side. Jiang Yuyan sat opposite to him, next to Elder Lu.
"This mansion is incredibly beautiful," Jared commented.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Thanks, Mr Magnus, but I am sure you are not here to praise our home."
He smiled at her brightly, "Of course not. I was just cautious about the Lu family and wished to visit you all."
"Then you could have informed us beforehand when everyone was home and we could have even prepared a breakfast for you."
"Thanks, but I had my breakfast. Maybe next time, I will invite myself to the meal," he replied.
"Sure," Jiang Yuyan calmly replied. "As you wish to meet the entire family, maybe I shall call Lu Lijun and others home as well."
"Ah, there is no need. I have met chairman Lu and President Lu many times during business events. Do not need to bother them with this casual home visit of mine," he turned to elder Lu, "I am glad to see other family members who I had not met before."
Elder Lu simply hummed, not having a good feeling about this man's presence.
As per Niang Jiahui's instructions, the servants brought tea and snacks for the guests.
"Oh, I must say I liked the tea here. You have many varieties here that I even sent some to my wife. I must say she was more than delighted to receive it and demanded that I send more of it," Jared said as he enjoyed the tea.
"That's indeed true," Jiang Yuyan replied, inside wondering the true intentions of this man.
Jared talked about various topics that he liked here and others could only hum and reply what was necessary.
By the end of the long conversation, Jared informed, "I am returning to my country now. It was a great time I had in China while dealing with the smart people, and of course Lu Lijun is the smartest of all. I truly admire him."
"I believe it was worthwhile and experience here will benefit you in the long run, Mr Magnus," Jiang Yuyan replied, wondering if this man would leave now.
"Yes. Indeed it will. I was going to stay a little longer, but my younger brother's death anniversary is there and I have to return for it," he added.
"Sorry to hear that?" Jiang Yuyan replied. "May his soul rest in peace."
"Well, there is nothing we can do about when we lose a family and we can only grieve about it like how Ms Jiang must be still grieving over her husband's death."
It changed the expressions on her face. "Instead of grieving, I preferred to make those murderers pay with their lives."
His lips curved into a smirk, "That's what my father tried to do as well, to make his son's murderer pay with their life, to take away their happiness just like how they took away my father's," he shot back, his calm gaze boring into her. "But in return, my father ended up losing his life. Like you, we could never truly get our revenge over the murderer."
The atmosphere seemed to turn serious. "What are you trying to imply Mr Magnus? Your brother...."
"The young boy who just entered the university and was happy with his new life, but one day a fierce girl, holding her past grudges took her revenge and caused him to die."
This stuck something in her mind, "Your brother...."
"My half brother who my father never knew existed. When his mother informed my father about his existence, my brother was already in the coffin," Jared continued, "My brother had lost his will to live after what that cruel girl did to him and he took his own life. How miserable he must have been to even take his own life. So cruel, isn't it," Jared raised a brow, "You must know that girl really well, don't you, Ms Jiang. Punishing someone who hurt you, must have been thrilling for you isn't it?"
Her entire body went numb. "That...."
"Enough!" Elder Lu interrupted him, "Mr magnus, I think you shall leave now."
The man kept calm as he enjoyed being shocked and lost. "Of course I am leaving, Mr Lu. I just wanted to apologize to Ms Jiang before I leave." He looked at her, "I wanted to apologise for because of what happened to my brother, most precisely what you did with my brother, your husband had to pay for it with his own life."
Jiang Yuyan felt like her soul left her body, as she wordlessly looked at the man. Tears appeared in her eyes, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and various emotions, her breath
turning shallow.
"Yuyan, ignore him," Elder Lu spoke and stood up, "Mr Magnus, I ask you to leave. Or don't blame me for being rude."
Jared stood up as well, "Thank you for your precious time, anyways, Mr Lu. It was great meeting you," he looked back at frozen Yuyan, enjoying her misery, "Past might repeat once more, Ms Jiang, be careful," and turned to leave.
"Yuyan," elder Lu called, but she didn't reply, as if she could not hear a word.
Ning Jiahui herself was shocked to hear what Jared said, and stood frozen in her place, not knowing what to think about this new revelation.
"Jiahui?" Elder Lu called.
Her eyes teary, she looked at them, only to hear him again, "Call Lu Lijun back home
immediately."
"Fourth young master is already on his way home," the butler informed.
