Chapter 285 Some Soul Searching (2/2)

Either way, Lu Shuya was tired of acting the way she did towards Lu AnLing. She had been forcing it this whole time, either way.

Truly, Lu Shuya cared for her sister but she wanted to be loved by her mother more.

Lu Shuya believed that if she was more like her mother, the woman would love her. And if there was one thing she knew, it was that her mother was prideful. And so, Lu Shuya decided to be prideful too.

But even after acting the way she did, Lu Shuya had finally acknowledged, at the family meeting, that it was Lu AnLing, despite how much she messed up or how shameful she seemed, who was the closest to breaking through Lu Xiaoling's wall...

What was worse was that that morning, Lu Shuya had witnessed Lu Xiaoling worry. Worry about whether or not Lu AnLing would be angry at her concerning the decision she had made in the past.

A decision she made out of love and care...

Lu Shuya understood more than anyone the way her mother loved. It was selfish and twisted but it was truly like her.

Lu Shuya sighed and then brought herself back to reality.

”And to answer your question from before,” Lu Shuya said as she looked at Kang Liang in the eyes. ”I didn't go to work today. I work in HR for my families business but I couldn't take working there anymore. I needed a break...”

Looking at her expression, Kang Liang's heart stopped. Kang Liang wasn't sure if Lu Shuya knew or understood what she was feeling but he understood it well.

In the Kang family, unlike his brothers, he was not very good with business. In fact, he was pretty bad at it so he always felt like he didn't fit in. And he had always felt like something was missing inside but he never knew what...

It was when Kang Liang disconnected himself from his family and their business where Kang Liang finally began to understand himself.

And at this moment, Lu Shuya was feeling that same way he had long ago.

”What do you plan on doing during this break?” Kang Liang asked with interest.

Lu Shuya shrugged. ”Maybe some soul searching. I'm young and free after all...”

”Well if you ever want to join the entertainment industry.” Kang Liang said as he handed her his number on a napkin.

Seeing this, Lu Shuya frowned at the corny gesture. She then pushed the napkin back towards him. ”Impossible. I'm not talented in music.”

Kang Liang frowned and took back his number back. He had never met a girl who rejected his number so easily...

Kang Liang: ”With a sister like AnLing, I'm sure you'll be amazing.”

Hearing this, Lu Shuya, who began feeling the effects of her wine, laughed. ”I think she gets that from her father's side, whoever he is... And before you ask, no. We don't have the same father. ”

With that said, Kang Liang paused. ”What a coincidence, my brothers and I don't have the same mothers either...”

After this, Lu Shuya and Kang Liang spoke for a while. Before they knew it, they had both drunk past their limits and it was late. So Lu Shuya decided to head home.

Kang Liang didn't feel right about letting a girl go home by herself so he wanted to accompany Lu Shuya but the girl didn't want him to accompany her home. Even if he was Lu AnLing's friend Lu Shuya herself was not close to him so she didn't know if he was trustworthy or not.
