Chapter 819 Like Old Times  

"That's good news. You will be the official head." Lu Jin sincerely encouraged Lu Yin Ze.

However, this made Lu Yin Ze sadder.

"But I don't want to return to the capital and leave you here. I want to spend more time with you. We have been separated for more than a decade and I misunderstand you for the whole time. I want to at least make it up to you."

Lu Jin smiled gently at his brother's words. But his heart was pained.

That's right. They have wasted many years. If he was more selfish, he would rather spend his time with his little brother and make up for all the time they had lost.

"Besides, I don't think I am fit to be the family head. It should be you, brother. You sacrificed your whole life for me and for the family. You are more capable than me. " Lu Jin flicked Lu Yin Ze's forehead. action

"Don't ever think I am better than you. You have more charms and talent that you give yourself credit for. The Lu family's head is you. It is what grandfather wanted. This is also what I wanted. Or do you want me to overwork and tire myself for the family business again?"

Lu Yin Ze doesn't want his brother to tire himself. Managing the business empire and taking care of the family was taxing. It was better if it was him who would face those difficulties instead.

"You are right, brother. You sacrificed so much for me. I should be the one taking care of you now. Don't worry, I'll support you. You don't have to work and just stay in the house leisurely. If you want, you can form a new hobby and travel the world!"

Lu Jin laughed. Lu Yin Ze's face was too serious while he said those words. Did his little brother really plan to let him leech off him? But the seriousness in his brother's face and the determination in his eyes was too hard to reject. Lu Jin shook his head with a smile. "Alright. I'll depend on you then. I will help you squandering your fortune."

"Then, it's a deal!" Lu Yin Ze was more than happy to be exploited by his own brother.

If his brother wanted all his possession, Lu Yin Ze was willing to give it to him. He really wanted his brother to live a good life from now on.

Lu Yin Ze suddenly thought of something. "Brother, should I choose a date and announced to everyone that you are officially back in the main family?"

Lu Yin Ze wanted everyone to know that his brother was back and he was part of the Lu family. He wanted the whole world to know the sacrifices his brother made. Although Lu Yin Ze did not check the current news, he knew that his brother was being cursed and scolded by the public together with Ming Zhi Yi. His brother's reputation was blackened.

The public rage would transfer to his brother even Ming Zhi Yi was put to death. If the public doesn't know the truth, they would trouble his brother and looked at him like he was some criminal like their father. His brother won't be able to have a peaceful life.

But if he revealed all his brother's sacrifices, the public would understand the truth and realized that his brother was a true hero.

However, it was not easy as Lu Yin Ze imagine.

Lu Jin shook his head with a smile. "You don't have to do that. The truth will come out sooner or later. Besides, I have plenty of things I needed to ask forgiveness for."

Lu Jin said the last sentence with a low voice. His eyes conceleaed his inner thoughts.

Lu Yin Ze did not notice anything amiss. He sighed helplessly. "But it's true you sacrificed so much. After I become the head, I will make sure no one would look down on you."

Lu Yin Ze had began to form a plan in his mind. He had to work hard to raise the Lu empire greater than before. Then influence the public and the society that his brother was a hero who greatly contributed in this case.

Lu Jin ruffled his brother's hair. He was truly moved. "Ah, my brother have grown up. I guess you'll be the big brother between us two now? You will provide for me and take care for me. What can I do then?" Lu Jin acted like a helpless big brother who lost his own role.

Lu Yin Ze wanted to avoid Lu Jin's hand. He doesn't like anyone touching his head or his hair. However, knowing that his brother was showing affection for him in this way, he endured.

Lu Yin Ze pouted like a child. "I am lacking in many ways. What should I do without you advising me and showing me the way?"

Even though it was an act, Lu Yin Ze doesn't want to see or hear that Lu Jin was useless. Besides, he was telling the truth. If his brother was gone, he would not be able to smile so warmly right now. Although his sense of taste had gone, Lu Yin Ze did not feel the food was tasteless with Lu Jin around.

"There are countless things where I need you, brother. I don't have much experience in society. Many people might take advantage of me or pull me down without me knowing. I'll be the head at a very young age. What if I made a wrong decision? Who would I complain to or ask for advice? What if I get tired and live meaninglessly? Who would I take the courage and motivation from?"

Lu Yin Ze just wanted to act childish and complain. But some of his inner thoughts of feelings came out through those words.

Lu Jin could hear them. His heart felt heavy. He ruffled his brother's hair.

"I am just kidding. Of course, my brother needs me. I am still the big brother." Lu Jin grinned to hide the complex feelings in his heart.

"And why are you so unconfident about your skills? You are very capable. Although you are a cry baby, you are talented. Alright. If it's hard, just come to me and cry on my shoulders. Do you want me to blow the pain away?" He joked around.

Lu Jin newfound habit was to tease his brother.

"Stop it! Don't treat me like a child!

Lu Jin laughed.

Really, these past few days were the most smiles and laughter he ever had in his whole life.

Lu Yin Ze just looked at his brother's laughing face. The nervousness in his heart that this brother would be stoic and distant to him had been washed away. His brother was unrestrained and treat him like before. Lu Yin Ze let go of the uneasiness in his heart.

He would be willing to act like a spoiled child for his brother. Although this should not be seen by anyone except his brother. Thinking like this, Lu Yin Ze's ears slightly turned pink as he looked around.

No one was around, right? He was really acting like a baby earlier.

Although slightly embarrassed, Lu Yin Ze's heart had never been this free before.
