Chapter 108: Second Brother, You Really Lack Love

Lu Zongye felt a chill running down his spine after hearing Lu Jingzhi’s words.

“However, you are very lucky because I am a man who keeps my word. Since you already know what you have done wrong, I will let you off this time. I will help you repay the loan of thirty million that you have taken. Take the remainder of the money and leave Luo City immediately. I do not want you to appear in front of Yuning ever again.”

This was what Lu Jingzhi had wanted Lu Zongye to understand from the start. The kindness that Lu Jingzhi was showing Lu Zongye was only because they had been brothers for so many years already.

“I understand,” Lu Zongye could finally heave a huge sigh of relief. “Yuning had never liked me anyway. She had always hated me right from the start.”

“Why else would I let you off so easily?”

Lu Zongye smirked and sighed to himself. At the end of the day, he was just a nobody to everyone.

A short while later, Lu Zongye got down from Lu Jingzhi’s car and quickly disappeared into the heavy rain.

“Principal, Lu Zongye is also very pitiful. He has lived most of his life being lied to and played around by the people whom he thought were the closest to him. Now, he has lost everyone that he had cared for and is also left with nothing,” Secretary Ho could not help but sigh.

Lu Jingzhi glared coldly at the secretary after he had spoken and the secretary quickly added another sentence to his statement. “However, if he had not done all those evil and unnecessary things to harm Miss Jiang, I believe that you would not have taken this step either. I understand your intentions, I really do.”

“Go home.”

“Alright.” The secretary quickly turned around and instructed the driver to drive to the villa immediately.

Well, it was better for him to protect himself.

…

The rain seemed to get heavier and the sky got darker and darker late in the night. When Lu Jingzhi arrived at the villa, he brought a gust of cold air with him.

Jiang Yuning had already taken out all the birthday gifts that she had taken from the secret room and placed it all on the coffee table in the living room as she waited for Lu Jingzhi to come home. She had wanted to unwrap all of the presents together with him.

Lu Jingzhi stared at the items that had been placed on the coffee table before he took off his coat and handed it over to Sister Liang. He then looked at Jiang Yuning before he asked, “Where did you get all these items?”

“Didn’t you prepare all of these gifts for me?” Jiang Yuning asked the tall and muscular man as she pointed at herself.

“Did I say that?” Lu Jingzhi asked as he sat down on the sofa and pulled Jiang Yuning into his arms.

“Oh, which woman did you prepare these for, then? Let’s discuss everything today,” Jiang Yuning replied as she snuggled in Lu Jingzhi’s arms. “Second brother, do you have any other woman in your life aside from me?”

“You win,” Lu Jingzhi replied helplessly as he stared at Jiang Yuning. “But these gifts are all old and outdated…”

“What are you talking about?” Jiang Yuning interrupted Lu Jingzhi before he could finish his sentence. “These are all of my precious belongings. I do not care. I want to see each and every one of these gifts that you had prepared for me.”

“Where is my birthday present then?” Lu Jingzhi asked Jiang Yuning immediately.

“I did not prepare any,” Jiang Yuning replied with a guilty conscience. “For the past few years, you had always ignored me and acted so cold and indifferent towards me. Why would I have had the courage to send you a birthday gift?”

“It is alright. I had already received the best birthday gift from you a few years back when I entered your bedroom when you stayed over after the Lu family feast.”

“If I had woken up at that time, it would not have taken me so long to discover your feelings towards me. I had always thought that what happened that night was just a beautiful dream,” Jiang Yuning replied as she placed her arms lovingly around Lu Jingzhi’s neck. “Second brother, you really lack love.”

“What should you do then?” Lu Jingzhi asked pitifully.

“I will love you and use the rest of my life to make it up to you,” Jiang Yuning replied as she looked into Lu Jingzhi’s eyes affectionately. “I know that you have always been protecting me using every means that you can. I am very touched, yet I feel very sad at the same time because there is nothing that I can do for you. I cannot even make up for all the pain and suffering that you had gone through because of me.”

“Shh…” Lu Jingzhi started to comfort Jiang Yuning when he saw that she was getting increasingly emotional as she spoke. “Calm yourself down.”

“I am just feeling very sad…”

This time, Lu Jingzhi did not allow her to continue speaking. He lifted her chin and started kissing her lips gently.
