Chapter 255: Chapter 255 - She Is Irreplaceable
There wasn’t any problem, even if there were twenty years between them . Lu Jin might be sixteen years older than Yun Xiangxiang, but it didn’t show when they stood together .
The older husband, younger wife pairing . Lu Jin and Wu Zhao had collaborated a few times . He knew the former was a man of integrity, knowledge, and virtue . He wasn’t going to play the matchmaker . Yun Xiangxiang was still young . But he would be happy to see it if it happened .
Sun Qiluo cared more about Lu Jin’s wine than topics about relationships . Yun Xiangxiang was prepared . She took her sobering pills half an hour before dinner . She wasn’t afraid to go a few rounds with her friends .
Hou Cang had to leave partway through . His daughter was down with a fever .
It suddenly didn’t feel as high when one of them left . The rest stopped drinking . After the feast, Yun Xiangxiang and Qiluo helped clean up the place . Xingzhou and Qiluo went back together, as their places were nearby . Yun Xiangxiang went with Lu Jin .
Lu Jin sent Yun Xiangxiang back, “Don’t listen to Xingzhou . I don’t have any ideas toward you . I have someone I like . ”
Yun Xiangxiang knew, “I didn’t misunderstand, Brother Jin . ”
Yun Xiangxiang knew who he liked . She didn’t gossip about it . There was a pregnant pause between them .
“Did He Wei tell you something?” Lu Jin asked .
“A bit,” she didn’t want to lie .
“I think it’s more than that,” Lu Jin smiled . “He’s right . The one I love is now a star among the heavens . ”
Yun Xiangxiang had known about it from He Wei, but she didn’t know how to feel when Lu Jin confirmed it .
“I took care of you because you’re a bit like her . But a bigger part of it is because you’re admirable . And you’re still young,” Lu Jin explained .
He kept quiet for a while, “I will never find someone to replace her . It would be an insult to her and the girl I chose to be her replacement . ”
If his love could be replaced just because someone similar was there, that would be cheap, and it wouldn’t be real love .
The more Lu Jin acted this way, the more somber Yun Xiangxiang felt, “If you loved her so much, why didn’t you go for it?”
“I was too late . Too late when I met her . ” Regret swam in his eyes . “She was already taken when I met her . All of us were in the industry . If I were to be the third wheel, I would have hurt her gravely . ”
Rumors were tools of destruction . Women would always be on the losing side in matters like these .
Nobody would think he was the third wheel . They would only think she cheated . At the same time, she was dating Ruo Feiqun, and she seduced Lu Jin .
If her boyfriend wasn’t in the industry, he didn’t mind fighting with her boyfriend fairly before marriage .
But this industry didn’t tolerate fair fights .
“They eventually broke up…,” after breaking up with Feiqun, she spent half a year alone .
“She had stomach cancer, and it was in the late stages . I sought out every doctor I could . When they saw her case, they said she couldn’t be saved . ” Lu Jin closed his eyes . “If I couldn’t cure her, she would never accept me . She was a proud yet sensitive girl . ”
He didn’t expect someone like her to commit suicide . She had six months left . He had already contacted the ancient family of doctors: the Song Family . How great would it be if she had waited for a while longer?
Yun Xiangxiang thought nobody understood Hua Xiangrong . Not Wen Lan, not Feiqun .
She didn’t expect a shining star to understand her the most .
But as the rewind button didn’t exist in the world . Hua Xiangrong was no longer of this world .
“Brother Jin, stay strong,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want Lu Jin to wallow in sadness .
It wasn’t as if she wanted to lessen her guilt . She didn’t feel guilty toward him . She was just advising him .
“I’m not 24,” Lu Jin was amused . “I am long past the age of impulse . I know the meaning of life . I just can’t forget her for now . I will start a new relationship when I do . ”
“Don’t wallow in it for too long, Brother Jin,” Yun Xiangxiang had arrived at her hotel . She leaned on the window, “You’re already 34, after all . ”
Yun Xiangxiang scurried away, afraid that Lu Jin might smack her head .
Lu Jin was half-amused, half-annoyed . He sent her off to her hotel . He wasn’t worried about her, not like He Wei was .
When he was leaving, he saw a van coming in the driveway . The people inside them looked around for a while before entering the elevator .
Lu Jin was concerned . He got out of his car and went after them . One of the elevators stopped on the ninth floor . It could be the place Yun Xiangxiang was staying . The other one was still going up . Lu Jin called Yun Xiangxiang .
“Hello, Brother Jin?”
“Look out, company’s coming your way,” Lu Jin reminded her .
The elevator had stopped at the eighth story . Beside Yun Xiangxiang was the security door . She hid inside the mezzanine floor behind it . “Talk to you later . ”
Yun Xiangxiang sent a message to Ai Li .
Through the door’s gap, she saw a group of people walking along the corridor as they looked around .
Ai Li was in their room . After they went past her room, Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t see them, but she could hear them knocking .
Ai Li texted her: Not our room .
Then they were not here for them . But these guys were bad news . Should I poke my nose into this?
The cops wouldn’t be here on time . As Yun Xiangxiang was thinking, Ai Li sent her a message: They went into the room across from yours .
Yun Xiangxiang exited the mezzanine floor . One of them was smoking in the corridor . When he saw Yun Xiangxiang, he thought she looked familiar . He entertained that thought .
Yun Xiangxiang pretended she knew nothing and went to her room .
“Ai Li, what are they doing?” Yun Xiangxiang suspected something was afoul .
They looked like bad news . This hotel might not be a five-star one, but they had CCTV . And yet they came here without any disguise?
“Give me a second . I’ll look into this,” Ai Li would install a security system in the places Yun Xiangxiang stayed in .
She could hack into the hotel’s CCTV and snap the photo of the guy in the corridor . She just needed to post it, and she would know everything about him . If he had no criminal records, they would ignore this matter .
Yun Xiangxiang’s phone rang again . It was Lu Jin . “You okay?”
“I’m already back in my room . You can go home, Brother Jin . I’m fine,” Yun Xiangxiang wanted Lu Jin to stay out of this .
If the guy out there had any criminal records, she might already be in danger since she saw him . She couldn’t drag Lu Jin into this .
