MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 7 - Season 13 Episode 18

After dinner, Lu Han went to the garden as he was busy thinking about the events from that day and what Jiang Yuyan said to him.

‘It’s just Yuyan who knows it, if the entire family will get to know it, no one will forgive me ever. With what face I can even think about having my own life when I was the one to betray the most precious person to them. Not just him but by leaking the business info, I betrayed the entire family.’

Looking at the sky while standing at the faraway corner of the garden as if he wished to be alone only, he heard the familiar voice calling him.

“Brother Han!”

Lu Han turned to look at the person. Lu Lian was standing behind him a few steps away. He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn’t even realize when she arrived there.

“Lian!” he said and asked, “It’s late, why are you here?”

“I want to talk to you, brother Han,” she replied.

He nodded, “Do you need anything? You can tell brother.”

She nodded, “I heard the talk between the elder brother and Yuyan.”

Hearing it, Lu Han was shocked for a moment and then said after a small pause when his sister just stared at him, “I won’t stop you from hating me or saying anything to me about what I did. You can even scold me.”

Lu Lian could clearly see the sadness and hurt emotions inside him. His moist eyes were enough for her to see through him, “I am here to do neither of them, brother Han. I don’t hate you.”

He smiled a little which looked a painful one, “If you forgive me so easily, I won’t be at peace. Don’t do that.”

“You have been hurt and regretted more than you should have. I am no one to hate you. I want brother Han to do what Yuyan had asked him to. No one hates you brother,” tears rolled down her eyes and Lu Han felt choked. Not a single word could come out of his throat.

Lu Lian stepped forward and hugged her brother as she buried her face in his chest, “Brother please. Don’t be so tough on yourself. I want my brothers to always be happy.” She continued to cry and sob.

Lu Han hugged her back, “I am happy, trust me.”

“You are not. Not for your sake but think about my sister-in-law. She doesn’t deserve all this. You need to stop it….please brother…” She was crying and there was a desperate pleading in her voice.

Lu Han didn’t know what to say and he continued to pat her as he couldn’t stop his tears.

Lu Lian moved her head up to look at him, “Promise me, you will stop now.”

Lu Han wiped her tears and said, “I will think about it.”

“No…I know you are saying it to just console me,” she countered.

Lu Han turned silent and she spoke again, “Brother Qiang too would never want you to do this. No one of us would want you to do this. Listen to me please.”

Lu Han nodded lightly.

“I have a birthday soon. Give it to me as my gift. Brother Qiang used to fulfill all my wishes on my birthday but he is not here so can I expect it from you this time?” Her eyes were full of hope.

“You won’t listen huh? So stubborn you are,” Lu Han commented as he tried his best to stop his tears.

“I am like my brothers. Yuyan said the same thing to me today that I am stubborn like my brothers.”

“Yuyan knows us all well. She is the one to deal with that stubbornness all the time,” Lu Han said.

Lu Lian smiled, “Only she can keep up with us all, the entire Lu Family.”

Lu Han smiled back, “True.”

When these two were talking, Lu Lijun and Lu Feng came to the garden and saw Lu Lian hugged Lu Han and looked like she was crying.

“I told you brother Feng that she is not fine,” Lu Lijun said and was about to walk towards them but Lu Feng held his hand, “Wait here.”

“But…”

“If she wanted to tell us something, she would have come to us but she chose brother Han. Let them be.”

“How can we let it be when she is….”

“It’s between both of them. It would be better if we stay out of it,” Lu Feng countered.

Lu Lijun gave him a questioning look, “There is something that you don’t want me to know, right?”

Lu Feng nodded. “Hmm, because I know you are an angry young man.”

“That I am but not when it is about my family.”

“Fine, let me ask you something, If there is something that brother Han did behind Lu Qiang’s back when he was alive and he is still regretting it and punishing himself for it, will you forgive him for what he did?”

“Is this what both of them are talking about?” Lu Lijun asked as he looked at Lu Han and Lu Lian. “Is it related to business?” Lu Lijun asked again.

“Hmm,” Lu Feng agreed.

“Then there is nothing to worry about. I am sure brother Qiang must have forgiven him too,” Lu Lijun spoke. “Business is not above our family this is what brother Qiang always said.”

“That’s what grandpa taught us always. Our Grandpa is a smart person. He never wanted any conflicts in the family regarding business rights in the future so he started teaching us all the same thing since we were young. Now I know why he still insists on the same thing”

Lu Lijun nodded, “He did the right thing.”

Lu Feng agreed and said, “You really have grown up now.”

Lu Lijun smirked, “You can make it sure from Yuyan.”

“Show off, huh?”

“You should not be the one to say it, elder brother,” Lu Lijun countered.

Lu Feng gave him a narrowed-eyed look and then patted his shoulder, “But I am glad you think like this. I just hope brother Han will forgive himself soon.”

“Should we go there?” Lu Lijun asked, seeing the two finally looked calm.

Lu Feng nodded and the two went there.

“What secret talk is going on here?” Lu Feng asked.

“It’s a secret, so how can we tell you?” Lu Lian said who had already wiped her eyes clean seeing her two brothers were coming towards them.

“True, but if you tell us, your other two brothers might do something for you too,” Lu Lijun said.

“Well, it’s about my birthday gift. Brother Han has agreed to give me what I asked for so I hope you two will do so too,” she said.

“What do you want?” Lu Lijun and Lu Feng asked.

“I want my brothers to always be happy,” she said.

“Well, that’s not a big deal. We are always so happy,” Lu Feng said.

“I know my brothers’ ability to attract the sadness in their lives,” Lu Lian countered.

“Okay, wish granted,” Lu Lijun and Lu Feng said together and they looked at Lu Han who said nothing.

“I am in. I can’t dare break my sister’s heart,” Lu Han said.

Lu Lijun looked at his sister, “So that sad face you carried for the past few days just for this. I thought someone broke my sister’s heart and I was ready to beat that idiot.”

Lu Lian exclaimed, “Idiot?…..and stopped as the next words she swallowed, ‘How dare you call him idiot,’ and changed it to, “There can be no idiot in my life.”

“Good to know,” Lu Lijun replied while Lu Feng and Lu Han smiled seeing Lu Lian’s reaction. Both could see what she was about to say.

“Shall we go inside, it’s cold out here,” Lu Lian said and the three agreed.

Lu Lian still glared at Lu Lijun for calling a certain someone an idiot. They walked ahead while Lu Feng and Lu Han walked behind.

“Is there something wrong between her and Ming Rusheng?”

“There is but I guess they will be fine soon,” Lu Feng replied and commented, “For now you should think about what you have to do. Yuyan is not wrong and you should just let it go now.”

Lu Han just nodded lightly and they went inside the home.
