Chapter 775 Acting Tough...
Lu Lijun looked at the scarf for a while and went to put it in the trash can again but once again there was a knock on the door. He looked at the door and once again Martha was there.
"I forgot to ask what Young master would like to have for dinner?"
"Anything," Lu Lijun replied not being interested in it.
Martha looked at the scarf in his hand and went to him. "This seems dirty, I will wash it."
Not letting her touch the scarf, Lu Lijun stepped back as he instructed, "It"s not dirty. You can leave."
Martha left and Lu Lijun went to his wardrobe to get the clothes for him as he was still in the bathrobe. Just as he lifted his hand to get the clothes, he realized the scarf was still in his hand.
Frowning he threw the scarf on the bottom shelf of the wardrobe and pulled out the clothes for him as he closed the door.
After dinner, Lu Lijun preferred to study and keep himself busy.
Though Lu Lijun was upset with so many things, he was being responsible for what he was there for and what he should do. He didn"t act rebellious by not going to school or by not paying attention to his studies. Instead, he was being a good boy.
He attended the school diligently and paid attention to the studies which helped him divert his attention. He even studied the stuff that was too much for the kids of his age but his brain always demanded the difficult things which were adding to his knowledge to make him an extraordinary man in the future.
There was a seven-hour difference between Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun"s timing so when he was awake she was already in bed and when her day started, he was in a bed.
------
When Jiang Yuyan was in office, San Zemin came to her to inform her about what happened the previous night. Even after hearing everything, there was no change in her expressions as if she was not worried.
Looking into her work. She asked, "Anything else?"
San Zemin put the small recorder on her table as he played it. While working she heard it all that Lu Lijun said, the hatred was evident in his voice.
Still, it didn"t affect Jiang Yuyan and she instructed, "Call them back and just get his updates once in a while with the people we have there.
San Zemin nodded as he informed, "Jerome is there so it won"t be difficult and the driver, Carl is also our man so he will keep an eye on him whenever they would be out."
"Hmm!"
San Zemin was surprised that Jiang Yuyan asked nothing more about Lu Lijun and said, "Boss, are you not curious about how he is doing?"
"I am sure you will tell me even if I won"t ask," Jiang Yuyan commented as she closed the file in her hand and put it on the table.
San Zemin understood. "He is attending the school regularly and paying attention to the studies also, so there is nothing to be worried about him."
"Hmm!"
"Is the boss planning to go and see him?" San Zemin asked and Xiao Min too waited to hear it as he wished Jiang Yuyan to go and see him at least once.
"No!" the firm reply came from Jiang Yuyan that disappointed the two men.
Both believed Jiang Yuyan was worried about Lu Lijun and she wanted to see him too but she was not showing it. She was being tough with herself as well as with the little guy who had already started hating her, but at the same time, they could understand the reason for her decision.

Lu Lijun finally accepted the Noah as his friend as the other guy never give up on pursuing Lu Lijun. Though Lu Lijun was not a kind of a friend who would be open to his friend and share everything with them, Noah was totally different like an open book.
One silent boy and the other one were talkative who could go on babbling the entire day but thanks to Lu Lijun"s extraordinary brain he was able to bear with his new friend.
"I didn"t see you talking to other boys in the cla.s.s. Doesn"t seem like you are new here."
Finally, Lu Lijun asked what was bothering him for the days. They were having lunch together in the school canteen.
"I am not new here but you know I am a foreigner just like you so it takes time to get accepted and to make friends."
Lu Lijun nodded a little understanding the meaning and the boy added, "It"s not like I have no friend. I have one but he can"t come to the school for a few days as he was sick and now resting in the home."
"Hmm!"
Noah added, "I am sure you will like him too. He is such a nice guy. When I was new and others bullied me, he was the one to take my side and helped me."
"Is he Chinese too?" Lu Lijun asked.
"No. He is British but a nice guy, unlike others. I am looking forward to three of us to be together," Noad said as he looked so excited.
"Don"t expect too much from me. I don"t like making friends. You are sitting here just because you stuck to me like a Gorilla glue and I had to give up to let you bother me."
Noah smiled as he knew Lu Lijun just showed that he didn"t care and acted tough but inside he was soft though it was hard to approach him at the start.
"As you called me a Gorilla glue, then I would be stuck to you forever now," Noah said as he smiled brightly.
Lu Lijun remained silent and continued eating while Noah was enjoying seeing how serious this young boy acted.
Realizing that Noah was staring at him while smiling, Lu Lijun glared at him as he asked, "If you can fill your stomach by just staring at me, then no need to waste the food next time."
Noah smiled again and continued eating, not bothering to his friend"s sarcastic words.
