"Not again, mother. I told you, I am not interested in business so I don't deserve to handle it," Lu Feng replied annoyingly to hear the same thing from his mother, as always.

"I am not talking about business," Su Hui said.

"Then?" Lu Feng asked to think about what another thing his mother could be interested in other than money and power.

"Jiang Yuyan," she replied without blinking an eye and it made all the colors from his face to fly away.

"Yuyan? What are you talking about mother?" He asked collecting his thoughts together as to pretend he was not affected by her sudden and surprising words.

"If you didn't get me, then why your face turned pale when I mentioned her name?" she asked. not falling for his act.

"Because what you just said doesn't make any sense," He replied coldly.

"Really? You are my son and I know what you like and what you don't," saying it leaned back in a couch looking at her son who was standing near the bathroom door.

Lu Feng smirked and said while going towards his bed and sitting on its edge, "Is that so? Then why don't you act according to how I like. Why you keep saying and doing the things that I don't like." He asked getting annoyed at her.

"Forger about this old woman. Talk about yourself. I know you like her." She continued taking out a topic of his feelings about Jiang Yuyan.

"She is my friend and it's obvious to like your friends. You can't be a friend with someone whom you don't like." He tried to give a logical reply but his mother had her own things in mind.

"It's more than just a friend and the way you look at her, that is enough to show the truth."

"Mother!" He exclaimed with anger. "Why are you bringing up nonsense things?" he asked.

Su Hui maintained her calmness though her son was angry at her and said, "I am just trying to make you realize what you have lost just because of your idiotic decision to give up on business and what else you are going to lose. If you were sitting on that chair where lu Qiang is right now, then you would have a woman with you too whom you liked since long."

"You have mistaken, mother. She was his since the start. also, I don't think about her in that way." He replied.

"No! that power and position gave him all these things."She didn't want to give up as she was blinded by the thing that money and power was everything.

"Matter of hearts are not dependent on money but you won't understand it as you lack the heart." His words were cold and hurting.

"Say whatever you want about me but I will keep worrying about my son and won't stop making you understand the things."

"No need. I can look after myself."

"It's sad for me to see that in return of all the sacrifices, my son only received an aloofness," she said sadly but Lu Feng was not affected by it.

"If you are done, then you can leave." Saying it Lu Feng turned and left to get freshen up.

Su Hui knew her son was stubborn so for a time being she preferred to leave.

When Lu Feng was in front of his mother, he showed he was strong and her words meant nothing to him but as he entered inside the bathroom, he gave up on his cold expressions and stood while resting his back on the door of the bathroom with his eyes closed, looking like he was exhausted.

After spending a few moments standing like this, he moved to have a shower. The words of his mother, what she said about Jiang Yuyan were ringing in his ears. He spent a while standing under a shower while his hands resting on the glass wall with his head lowered down and eyes closed.

water was running down, making its way across his toned muscular body. His brain was messed up with so many thoughts those were known only to him. The thoughts about why he took a decision to stay away from the business and why he did so many things for what his family hated him.

Tears rolled down from his eyes but those were washing down with the water from the shower as he didn't want to recognize that he was hurt and crying. It was his effort of not wanting to see his own tears. He was fighting with his inner self for long and no one knew about it.

Once his eyes stopped what he doesn't want them to do, Lu Fengturned off the shower and went in front of the mirror. Staring at his own reflection he said, "You can't be weak or all your efforts will be useless."

He sighed and stared in his own eyes as searching for something and thought, 'is it that obvious for everyone to know about my feelings for her. I should do something or it would be bad."

He dressed up and went downstairs for dinner. Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan reached there too and everyone took their seats. Su Hui looked at her son who too noticed his mother was looking at him but before he could avert his sight, her sight moved towards Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan who were sitting next to each other.

Lu Feng understood it was his mother's evil effort to show him what she said when she was in his room. Lu Feng decided not to look at Jiang Yuyan even for a moment as he didn't want his mother to think she was right about his liking towards her.

He finished his dinner faster and excused himself, "I have some work to do so I will take a leave."

"At this hour after dinner, what is so important Lu Feng that you didn't even finish your dinner properly?" Elder Lu asked worriedly.
