YM778.TV Chapter 292 Okay to miss her
“Mr Gu, Director Lu and Director Shen are in the lobby. You can meet them, “The assistant who went to contact Lu Xuan said.
Gu Shangyan followed them. He was a little giddy and a bit nervous. He and Lu Xuan meet every time the latter comes to Europe but it would be the first time they would meet in China.
“Director Lu. director Shen. Please meet Mr Gu, the senior architect who will be taking over the village project, “The Assistant made the introduction.
Lu Xuan who was on the phone turned his gaze up to look at a hauntingly familiar face. He appeared as if he had paused from any moment as if his in-built CPU was lagging.
Shen Yue blinked her eyes as if she was seeing a dream.
“Gu Shangyan? No way!” Shen Yue gasped.
“Umm Shen Yue?” Gu Shangyan asked in confusion. He wasn’t sure that if this supermodel beautiful woman was the same Shen Yue they used to know in high school. She just looked too different now. He wasn’t saying that she was not pretty in the past. It was just that he couldn’t imagine her to look like this. A beautiful career woman out of a C-drama.
“That’s me, “Shen Yue gave him a wide smile when he recognised her. She looked at Lu Xuan and sighed, “Oh, he is still processing.”
She could imagine what Lu Xuan was going through. This man had been anticipating his brother and sister to return home for so long that now one of them was back, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Perhaps, he was believing that it was just another dream.
“Director Shen, you know Mr Gu?” The interviewer asks in surprise. He came to see how everything was going with the directors and newly hired employees but he got confused and curious to see Shen Yue talking with Gu Shangyan with such familiarity.
“Mr Ou, please don’t tell me that you didn’t recognise Mr Gu as President An and CEO GU’s other son from the pictures in the office, ” Shen Yue asked. She was just surprised by the whole turn of events. Gu Shangyan was the new architect that the company hired through the interview process. She didn’t understand what was happening. Were President An and CEO Gu informed about it?
The interviewer’s eyes widened as he looked at the glaring similarity between Gu Yanxi and Gu Shangyan.
Not caring about the other employees’ dilemma, Gu Shangyan touched Lu Xuan’s shoulder and waved at him. Lu Xuan instantly pulled him for a hug. The two brothers had a long and emotional hug. They never expressed words about how much they missed each other because they knew that they didn’t need to say it in words. Even though they lived oceans away from each other, they could still read each other’s eyes like before.
“Damn, man, you know how to surprise.” Lu Xuan sadly smiled. “When did I return?”
Was he happy? Yes, so much that he couldn’t express it in words.
“Just this morning, “Gu Shangyan replied.
“Yoona came with you?” Lu Xuan questioned him.
“We broke up weeks ago, ” Gu Shangyan sighed out.
Even if Lu Xuan was surprised, he didn’t show it on his face. He just ignored what his brother said and draped his arm around his shoulder, “Okay. Let’s leave the formalities for later and meet mom and uncle. They will be thrilled to see you. They miss you a lot.”
“Me too, man. Me too, ” Gu Shangyan smiled at him.
“Did you talk to Xiulan?” Lu Xuan ended up asking. Maybe, he was asking for too much. He decided to put all the thoughts about her to the back of his head. It was already better that at least one of them was home.
“No, I haven’t talked to her in a long time. Why don’t you call her?” Gu Shangyan asked him, “You can call her and tell her that we are together.”
“Why should I?” Lu Xuan huffed at his words. “Call her? Why should I?”
He wouldn’t call the girl. Why should he call her? It wasn’t like he missed her or anything. If she was happy in her life in Boston, so was he here. It was not like he was dying here. He had a great life here with his family.
“It’s okay to miss her, ” Gu Shangyan said, patting his shoulder. “I miss her a lot. We can’t call each other because of the time difference. When I left for college, I thought I will call you guys daily but you know that’s not possible. When you get involved in a new life, it’s difficult to make time for the old one. You try to take both of your lives hand in hand but a time will come when you have to put one on hold.”
“Can I not be the sensible one for once?” Lu Xuan muttered.
Gu Shangyan only smiled at him. He knew what Lu Xuan was feeling. He didn’t say anything else and asked him to take him to his uncle and aunt.
Far from them, the senior director of the board came out of the elevator and their gaze fell on the tall and young man walking away with Lu Xuan.
“Director Lu, did you meet CEO Gu’s nephew Gu Shangyan?” The interviewer asked the senior director.
“CEO Gu’s nephew?” The old man narrowed his gaze.
“Yes, he is appointed as the senior architect under Director Lu’s project, ” The man replied.
“Under director Lu?” The old man asked, amused. “I heard both the sons were eligible for the war of succession. Isn’t President An biased with her son? She directly brought him to the company. CEO Gu is the major shareholder of the company and his nephew had to get a job in the company through an interview. What a hypocritical family.”
The interviewer didn’t say anything as even he found it weird that CEO Gu’s nephew and only heir had to enter the family company this way.
