Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

When Lu Qiang heard his grandpa, he was shocked and could say nothing as he was already exhausted with the emotional battle in his head all day long. 

Elder Lu smiled, seeing his grandson surprised and continued, "I have been with you since the day you were born. I watched you grow up, and I know, when you are happy or sad, what do you want, what do you like or what you don't, even though you never expressed it."

Lu Qiang listened to his grandpa's every single word carefully while standing quietly.

Grandpa continued, "Do you think; I don't know how much you missed her. Every year on her birthday, you go to that sugar candy shop and buy it for you, just because she liked it. The gifts she gave you are still there with you."

Lu Qiang couldn't understand how his grandpa knew it?

Elder Lu knew what Lu Qiang thought, "I told you, I know you well. I know how much you wanted to go to the USA to meet her, but your father stopped you. He did well, as it was the right thing to do at that time."

Lu Qiang couldn't understand why his father did that, but he knew there was something serious that made his father stop him from getting any information about Jiang Yuyan. 

He was surprised to know that his grandpa knew it too, so he asked, "Grandpa! So, you too know about what happened to her?"

Elder Lu nodded as he sighed deeply, "Yes! Your father was on his business trip to the USA, the day that incident happened. When he returned, he was disturbed and told me everything. I planned to go to the USA but because of Lu Jinhai's accident, I couldn't. When your father was out of danger, I went to visit her after a month. I got to see her only from afar, and I had to return back to China, feeling helpless as I couldn't do anything to help her. Nobody was allowed to meet her."

Hearing it, Lu Qiang felt his heart beating faster as he turned anxious and scared to think what exactly Jiang Yuyan had gone through.

Elder Lu's voice sounded sad. "Jiang Yang might have told you that eight years before she...."

Lu Qiang interrupted his grandpa, "No! He didn't tell me anything because I need to know it from her. I want her to trust me and tell me everything."

Elder Lu understood what his grandson, and said nothing about the incident and continued talking about her.

"That child has gone through the worst condition in her life. I just want her to be happy and safe, that's why I want her to be at our home so that we can look after her when her parents are not here. I know you will take good care of her."

Lu Qiang nodded, "I will!"

Grandpa added, "But for that, she needs to be here in Lu Mansion."

Lu Qiang agreed, "Hmm! But I guess she won't."

Grandpa gave Lu Qiang a questioning look, "Did you fight with her last night or what?"

Lu Qiang was stunned to listen to this. "Cough! No, I didn't."

Grandpa smiled miscellaneously, "I know, Jiang Yang was busy in surgery. The patient was VIP, and he was in our hospital."

Lu Qiang still thought about how his grandfather knew that he was at Jiang residence.

Elder Lu then answered Lu Qiang's unspoken words, "That VIP person was nobody, but our family and business friend Mr. Lin so went to the hospital immediately when we got this news. There we met Jiang Yang, and when I asked him about Yuyan being alone at home, he told us you were at his residence to accompany her."

Lu Qiang then understood the exact situation and gave out a deep sigh, and Grandpa continued.

"We need to bring her here. I already promised her parents we will take care of her and won't let her be alone. Also, Jiang Yang is a doctor, so he can't be with her all the time. It will be good for her to stay in the family, around more people."

Lu Qiang agreed but still was not sure how to make this happen. "Who will convince her?"

"Don't underestimate your grandpa. Who in this whole world has the gall to say no to me? Your grandpa is still invincible." Grandpa replied with pride in his voice.

Lu Qiang smiled at these words and said, "That's right! But I don't want to force her to live here."

Grandpa smiled slyly, "She will come by herself."

"How?"

"Leave it to me. You just prepare for the day after tomorrow," grandpa winked at him.

Late at night, Lu Qiang thought about the special upcoming day. It was Jiang Yuyan's birthday on the day after tomorrow. He thought about what to do for her on her birthday, but the most important problem was how to face her?

He opened the bedside table's drawer and picked up his and Jiang Yuyan's childhood pic and went to sleep.

-------

Early morning, on the day of Jiang Yuyan's birthday, Jiang Yang went to his sister's room. She was sleeping with her head covered in a quilt, and her feet peeked out of it. 

Jiang Yang smiled, seeing her sleeping like this. He went near her bed and tickled her feet to which she moved her feet and curled them to her stomach while still covering her head with a quilt.

Jiang Yang again tickled her feet, she felt irritated and peeked her head out of the quilt only up to her eyes and asked, "What?"

"Aaaaa...."

Jiang Yang screamed and took a step back as he placed both hands on the left side of his chest, "Oh My God! What a scary face! Do you want to give a heart attack to this cardiologist?"

Feeling annoyed, Jiang Yuyan sat up on the bed, her hairs messy, and her eyes looked swollen with faint shadows under them. It looked like she couldn't sleep properly.

As she rubbed her sleepy eyes with the backside of her palms, Jiang Yang held her palms and stopped her, "Don't rub your eyes, wash them with water. 

She looked at her brother with her half-opened sleepy eyes and heard her brother, "Happy birthday, sweetheart."

She smiled, "Thank you, brother."
