Chapter 380 - I give up

Chapter 380 - I give up

Zhang Zhehan was dancing with his mother-in-law, Zhu Qian. He was happy that everything was going well and seeing his wife's beautiful smile made him happy.

"Zhehan, I am so happy today." Zhu Qian smiled cheerfully. "Your mother would be so happy to know that Xiaolu is my daughter. You both are made for each other." she smiled.

Zhang Zhehan nodded.

"Zhehan, take care of her," she said.

"I will, mom. She is my life and I will always love her. I won't let her be sad, ever." he promised sincerely.

Zhu Qian was pleased. She smiled at him when she suddenly noticed a man hugging her daughter. Shocked her eyes widened and she asked, "Who is that man?"

Puzzled, Zhang Zhenan looked towards his wife and he noticed the same thing. He was confused on seeing a man being so close to Lin Xiaolu. But upon seeing that man's face, he was surprised. "What is Long Xun doing?" he mumbled to himself.

"Long Xun?" Zhu Qian was astonished. She wanted to meet Long Xun but her husband didn't agree to it. Now, Zhehan said that person was Long Xun and she almost couldn't believe it.

"Is that him?" she questioned pulling Zhang Zhehan's sleeves.

Zhang Zhehan nodded, "Yes, he is." He looked at both of them and he wondered what was going. By their actions, it looked like Lin Xiaolu was comforting him. What is going? He was puzzled so he decided to go to them.

"Mom, I'll just go and look, " he said before leaving Zhu Qian alone.

Zhu Qian didn't reply. She was stunned. She just kept on looking at Long Xun with a yearning motherly gaze. Meanwhile, Lin Xiaolu was also busy comforting Long Xun who was crying on her shoulder. She didn't know what was wrong with him. She tried to ask him but he gave her no reply. He was just constantly crying and asking for her forgiveness.

"Long Xun, it's alright. Tell me, what happened? You can tell me, " she asked gently patting his back.

Long Xun sniffled. He wiped out his tears with the back of his hand and he looked into her eyes. "Xiaolu, I am sorry and I give up," he whispered before left.

"Long Xun, wait — "

But before Lin Xiaolu could stop him, she was interrupted. Zhang Zhehan quickly rushed towards her and pulled her arm. His eyes were full of worry and he looked up and down at her. "Xiaolu is everything alright? What going on? Did he misbehave with you? What happened? Did he do something?" he asked in a hurry.

Even Lin Haoming and the three Lin brothers came near Lin Xiaolu and asked her the same questions. Lin Xiaolu looked at them and she sighed.

"I am fine. Nothing's wrong with me," she assured them.

"Who was that man?" Lin Jiangchu questioned.

"Long Xun!" Zhang Zhehan replied completely ignoring everybody's shocked face. He looked at Lin Xiaolu and he asked, "What happened?"

"Zhehan, I think something's wrong with Long Xun. He, he was crying and he was asking for forgiveness." Lin Xiaolu informed.

"What?"

Lin Xiaolu nodded. "Yes, I don't know what's going on with him. I asked him but he didn't tell me anything. He was just crying and he looked so hurt. Also, before leaving he said something about 'I give up'. " she explained.

Zhang Zhehan was perplexed. "Okay, you don't worry. I will go and look for him," he said.

"Be careful, Zhehan." Lin Xiaolu reminded pulling his sleeves before Zhang Zhehan had left in the direction which Long Xun had taken.

After Zhang Zhehan had left, Lin Junfeng looked at his sister and he asked, "He didn't do anything to you right?"

"No, Elder brother. I am fine," she assured.

All the male members of the Lin family were worried because of Long Xun's presence. He was like a time ticking bomb for them for they did not what he might do and when. Just when they were thinking, Lin Mochen noticed something.

"Where is mom?" he asked looking all around.

"Shit!" Lin Haoming and Lin Junfeng cursed. They looked at each other and then they looked at the direction in which Zhang Zhehan had left.

"Dad, you stay here with them. I'll go and bring her back." Lin Junfeng said as he pulled his tie in agitation and he walked away.

After leaving Lin Xiaolu, Long Xun walked out of the Lin family. Today, he got all the answers that he needed to know. His mind was cleared up. Now, he knew who his enemies were and he had already made a plan on how to go and attack them.

While walking away he came across an old tree on the lawn. He stopped beneath the tree and took out his cellphone to send a message to Layla when suddenly somebody touched his shoulder.

"Xun....."

Long Xun's fingers pressing on the screen paused. His eyes went wide and his body went still. He recognized the person's voice. It was his Godmother, Zhu Qian.

"Xun..." Zhu Qian called his name again.

Long Xun took a deep breath before turning around. He looked at his Godmother and he smiled, "Godmother..."

"It's you. It's really you. Thank God, you are alive, Xun. " Zhu Qian broke down in tears. She held Long Xun's arms and she caressed his face dearly. "I was so worried about you, Xun. Where were you? Why didn't you come to me? We thought that you were de-dead with your father.... but you are alive."

"Stop crying, Godmother." Long Xun smiled wiping out her tears.

"I am fine. See, didn't I grow into such a handsome man?" he joked.

Zhu Qian smiled. "Hmm..... very handsome." she agreed.

"More handsome than Uncle Lin?" he asked.

Zhu Qian nodded. "Yes, but don't let him know that."

Long Xun chuckled.

"Where were you Xun?" she asked after calming down.

Long Xun shook his head.?He didn't want to speak about all of that and ruin her mood. Instead of answering her question, he apologized first. Even after knowing what he had done, she still loved him like before. She still cared for his wellbeing while he was who the who had hurt her.

"Godmother, please forgive me. I, I...."

Before Long Xun could apologize, Zhua Qian stopped him. "You don't have to apologize. I understand you, Xun. Forget the past. Don't dwell on it."

How can I not, Godmother?

Long Xun wondered. He didn't want to think about what would happen when she would know about his father's truth. Will she still love him? Will she care for him after knowing what his father had done?

Will she forgive him and his father then?
