Chapter 856 Taste Of Royalty

After Lu Lijun, soon Noah, and Jake's turn came too. Everyone was excited and happy for these two, too, as much as they were for Lu Lijun.

"Aren't they Lu Lijun's friends?" elder Lu asked, seeing the Jake and Noah on the stage one after another.

"These two young men never left Lu Lijun's side for all these years, and we should be thankful to them," said Lu Jinhai, and others agreed.

"I see Lu Qiang, Lu Feng, and Jiang Yang in these three," said grandma in a low and weak voice as she smiled.

Grandma Zhao Shuang turned weak during the past few years and struggled with her health.

The entire family later celebrated and waited to find a way to talk to Lu Lijun on call.

"Should we call Lu Feng and talk to Lu Lijun?" Ning Jiahui asked.

"Lu Lian would be better," Elder Lu suggested, "He can't say no to his sister."

Lu Lijun never talked to anyone in the family except for a few occasions in the entire year, like his grandparent's birthday or something important in the family. It was only once or twice a year, and the call lasted hardly for a minute.

Once the convocation ceremony was over, it was time for a photo session for students with their professors and friends. The entire garden area turned into as if there was a big festival filled with cheerful voices and happy faces.

"Congrats, guys. We are graduated now," Noah said as he smiled ear to ear, and the other two smiled as they congratulated each other.

Their other friends came to them to click the pictures together while the elder siblings observed these three from a distance.

"They look so happy. Reminded me of my university days," said Jiang Yang.

"Only difference is, we were not together like these three," Lu Feng commented as he looked at three happy friends, "I wish them to be like this forever...."

"Unlike us," Jiang Yang completed it as both remembered about Lu Qiang.

An Tian and Lu Lian understood them but had nothing to say as everyone missed Lu Qiang. Even if many more years pass by, they won't ever forget him for a single moment.

Each and everything around them had something related to Lu Qiang, and through them, he was always present in their lives. That something included Lu Lijun, who would never let others forget about Lu Qiang as everyone used to see him in Lu Lijun.

The three happy young men came to their siblings to take pictures, and they all enjoyed themselves while doing so. Noah and Jake's parents were happy and proud of these three young men. They celebrated with them and wished them good luck, leaving these young people together to celebrate among themselves.

It was lunchtime, so An Tian took them to one place where he had arranged everything already.

It was a resort that belonged to his family, and An Tian preferred to celebrate this special day in a nice place. The resort, situated near the river bank as one could get the peaceful moments, enjoying nature's beauty.

Entering the resort, everyone got the royal treatment as the employees came to welcome them and help them with everything. An Tian led their way towards the huge lawn, with a nice view of nature where the lunch had arranged.

Looking around, Lu Lian commented, "Seems like prince Christian is in a mood to let us taste the royalty."

"If you like royalty, I can ask grandpa Lu to send you to Ming industries."

"What does it have to do with Mings?" she asked.

"Ming family's ancestors were nobles, and they still have a reputation as royals. You can always work with royalty and one royal man like Ming Rusheng," An Tain explained and teased.

"Cough! I am starving." Saying, Lu Lian stepped towards the lunch table in a hurry while others smiled, seeing her flustered.

"I am sure she has something to do with Ming Rusheng, knowing how furious she becomes when we mention him," Jiang Yang commented.

"No way," came the reply from two Lu brothers simultaneously, and others looked at them.

"Our sister can't have anything to do with him, I am sure," said Lu Feng as he counted Lu Lijun with him, and he nodded too.

"Let's see," said An Tian, and Jiang Yang sided with him too.

During the lunch, Lu Lian spoke, "I wish if our family would be here to witness everything. They all would be so happy."

"I am sure they are already witnessing it," Lu Lijun commented, being busy eating.

"What do you mean?" Lu Lian asked while Lu Feng knew what Lu Lijun meant as he already noticed San Zemin's men around them.

Before Lu Lijun could answer, Lu Lian's cellphone rang, and it was a video call from her mother.

"Mother!" saying she received the call and saw and heard her excited mother.

Before her mother could say anything, Lu Lian spoke in a cheerful voice, "I know, mother, why you have called. He is here sitting with me."

"Good to know it. We are eager to talk to him," Along with Ning Jiahui's voice, they could hear other familiar voices as they talked to each other and waited to talk to Lu Lijun.

Lu Lijun felt uncomfortable as he understood what it was and wished to run away from there. When he focused on the cellphone's voices, he could hear everyone but one person as if she was not there.

Since his last encounter with Jiang Yuyan when she insisted on him for going to England, he never saw her or heard her voice.

"Where is Yuyan? She was here just now." Elder Lu asked as she was not there.

"She went upstairs," grandma replied, and from the cellphone, Lu Lijun could hear it.

It was a relief for him as he wouldn't have to worry about seeing her, but he thought about what she was there?
