Chapter 198 Waiting...
The next morning, in Lu mansion, Elder Lu informed everyone, on the weekend, all had to go to the city S, for the engagement ceremony of Lu Zhilan's son Wang Peng. Lu Zhilan was the only daughter of Elder Lu. Jiang family was invited too as Lu Zhilan considered Jiang Peizhi like her younger brother just like Lu Jinhai, so elder Lu decided to take Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Yang with them too and he already informed Jiang Yang about it, to which he agreed.
Till weekend, Jiang Yuyan stayed at Jiang residence. In between, Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan both didn't call each other. The engagement was on Sunday evening, so all had to leave on Saturday. Flight tickets were ready for all family members and Jiang Siblings too. At the airport, everyone was present except for Lu Qiang as he had decided to come later because he had some business to attend. Jiang Yuyan was disappointed to not see him there.
Lu Feng was not willing to go but as Wang Peng was his cousin and they shared a good bond so he agreed. Also, Jiang Yang was going to attend the ceremony too, so he insisted Lu Feng to join him. Jiang Yang agreed to go just because of Jiang Yuyan and Lu Qiang. He wanted both of them to meet in different circumstances and spend time somewhere away from home but on time Lu Qiang couldn't come.
Suddenly they realized Zhi Ruo was not there too. Just then elder Lu asked Su Hui, "Where is Zhi Ruo?"
"Father, she is busy with something, so she said, she will come by next flight." Su Hui replied with a smile on her face and said again, "She and Lu Qiang might have planned to come together," and looked at Jiang Yuyan.
Upon hearing it, elder Lu looked at Jiang Yuyan who was standing quietly and felt bad for her. Suddenly Lu Jinhai spoke, "Father, Lu Qiang is attending an important meeting with projects from country Z and his presence was must, but he will come for sure. As for Zhi Ruo, she has some other things to do. She has returned to this city after a long time and you know how she is, always roaming here and there."
Elder Lu nodded to what Lu Jinhai said. Lu Jinhai was aware that Jiang Yuyan was upset and felt bad for her too.
Lu Feng too felt bad as his mother said something inappropriate again to hurt Jiang Yuyan and said, "Don't feel sad, Yuyan. Lu Qiang is going to come tomorrow as he has some important work. Don't look into things too much," he said and patted her head.
"Lu Feng is right. He is busy so wait for him." Jiang Yang said.
"It doesn't matter to me brother. It's his problem, whether he wants to go there or not." Jiang Yuyan said with no expression on her face. She was missing Lu Qiang all these days and finally, she was happy to think, she was going to see him. When she heard he was busy, she was fine but upon hearing what aunt Su Hui said, she couldn't stop herself but feel salty.
Lu Feng and Jiang Yang could understand her condition. The man who couldn't be without seeing her for a second, he didn't even call her and also, there was a girl whom Su Hui proposed for marriage with Lu Qiang, so it was obvious for her to feel upset. They trusted Lu Qiang but there was no solution to the jealousy of one woman unless the reason for her jealousy vanishes completely.
Finally, it was time for flight and everyone board it. All the time Jiang Yuyan was staring out of the window towards clouds. She didn't speak a single word thought out the journey of two and a half hours. In the evening, all reached the city S. Cars were ready to pick up everyone from the airport. The venue of the ceremony was the most expensive hotel in the city. Staying arrangement for the guests had been done there too.
Once they reached the hotel, Lu Zhilan was present there with her husband Wang Chao, son Wang Peng and daughter Wang Shu. They welcomed the entire Lu family. Everyone was happy about being together again.
All got their rooms as allotted to them. Jiang Yuyan was alone in her room and was thinking about Lu Qiang all the time. She thought to call him and ask when is he coming but the anger inside her, to think Lu Qiang and Zhi Ruo being together was not letting her do it.
After freshening up Jiang Yang went to his sister's room. "Still thinking about him?"
"Why should I?" she replied annoyingly and sat on the edge of the bed.
Jiang Yang too sat beside her on the edge of the bed and said, "You never mean what you say. I know what you are thinking and I will suggest, don't think too much. You also know how much he loves you and he can never think about anyone else in his life other than you, even if it costs him a fortune."
"I know. But…. Hmm! I don't know. Brother." she was going through different emotions at the same time and she was confused.
"That's why I am saying, Don't think and leave the things on time. Now let's go for dinner," he said and stood up. He offered her his hand and said, "let's go." Jiang Yuyan accepted it and went out of the room with him.
Dinner was arranged in a restaurant in the hotel. It was a huge and luxurious place. Wang family was present there too. Dinner started with all kinds of tasty foods and expensive dishes in the hotel. After dinner, all went to the lawn area of the hotel to chat as they were meeting the Wang family after Elder Lu's wedding anniversary.
"Jiang Yuyan how are you? And how is your study going on?" Lu Zhilan asked to look at her.
"It's going good aunt Lu Zhilan." Jiang Yuyan replied with a smile on her face.
Lu Zhilan then turned her sight to Jiang Yang and asked with the same smile on her face, "And what about you Jiang Yang? Mo Ruolan told me you are doing great here in China too. We have one talented doctor in the family now."
Jiang Yang just smiled and said, "It's going good for me too?"
Lu Zhilan noticed Lu Qiang was not with them but she forgot to ask it before, so she looked at her brother Lu Jinhai and asked, "Where is our handsome president Lu?"
"I am here aunt Lu Zhilan."
Suddenly, a voice grabbed the attention of everyone. That was Lu Qiang with Zhi Ruo beside him. Lu Zhilan smiled and went to him. "I am glad that you made it." Lu Qiang smiled at it then looked at Wang Peng who was standing beside his mother and said, "Congrats!"
"Thank you Lu Qiang." Wang Peng replied. Wang Shu was there too with Lu Bao and Lu Lian. when she saw Lu Qiang with Zhi Ruo, she asked, "Why brother Lu Qiang is with her? I thought, he likes Jiang Yuyan."
"You are right but we too don't know what is he doing with her?" Lu Bao replied and Lu Lian nodded.
Lu Zhilan then hugged Zhi Ruo and said, "Nice to see you too. I wish your parents could make it to here too."
"Nice to see you too, aunt Lu Zhilan. My parents wanted too, but they were busy with something else." Zhi Ruo replied. She was looking beautiful and a smile on her face made her look even prettier.
"I know and I can understand dear." Lu Zhilan replied
Everyone was talking but all this time Lu Qiang didn't look at Jiang Yuyan even for once. After some talk, all the girls went with Wang Shu as she called them to her room. Jiang Yuyan went with them but Zhi Ruo said she had something to do then excused herself and went to her room which was allotted to her.
Lu Qiang then went to Jiang Yang and Lu Feng. "What's going on man?" Lu Feng asked.
"What?" Lu Qiang replied
"Why did you came with her?" Lu Feng asked again and Jiang Yang too was ready to hear his reply. Both knew Lu Qiang only has eyes for Jiang Yuyan but when they saw Zhi Ruo with him, they wanted to know why?
