A day before engagement...
The Lu Mansion was filled with the guests. The Wang family arrived to attend it and again the atmosphere in the Lu Mansion was similar to the day before elder Lu’s wedding anniversary, pleasant and full of excitement.
After dinner when all were sitting in a garden and they were talking to each other, Lu Lijun was sitting on a bench under the tree, away from everyone. Lu Qiang came out and saw Lu Lijun was sitting alone. He went to him and sat beside him on the bench.
"Why are you sitting here like Lu Feng?" Lu Qiang asked as it was the favorite place of Lu Feng in the whole garden.
"Nothing just wanted to be alone for some time," He replied with serious expressions on his face which made Lu Qiang wonder what might have happened to him but before Lu Qiang could ask him anything further, Lu Lijun spoke again, "You know our sisters, they are talking too much today and it’s annoying for me. Look at them," He said while signaling Lu Qiang to look at Lu daughters who were talking to Wang Shu and were Laughing loudly.
"You are right. Our sisters are annoying sometimes," said Lu Feng who was standing behind Lu Lijun.
"Brother Lu Feng! When did you come?" Lu Lijun asked, being happy to see Lu Feng.
"Just when you were complaining about our sisters," Lu Feng replied and sat beside Lu Lijun. Lijun was sitting in between his favorite brothers. Lu Feng looked at Lu Qiang as asking him what happened. to which Lu Qiang shook his head as saying nothing.
"Isn’t it the same atmospheres as it was a night before grandma and grandpa’s wedding anniversary?" Lu Lijun asked to look at other family members sitting opposite them at a distance.
"Hmm!" Lu Qiang and Lu Feng replied at the same time.
"And tomorrow is Lu Qiang’s engagement so all are excited even more than the last time," said Lu Feng while looking in the same direction as Lu Lijun.
"So from tomorrow, do we have to call Yuyan as a sister-in-law?" Lu Lijun asked to look at Lu Feng to which he startled as he didn’t think about it.
"Call her what both of you like. No need to be so formal," Lu Qiang said while looking in the direction of other family members. He then looked at Lu Feng and said, "Since we were kids, you call her Yuyan and I am sure she and everyone in the family would be fine with you calling her by a name, Yuyan."
Lu Feng nodded to what he said, just then Lu Lijun spoke again, "I am not going to call her sister-in-law. Yuyan sounds better."
Lu Qiang patted his head and said, "Call her the way you are comfortable with."
They were sitting silently and suddenly Lu Lijun said, "Elder brother! Last time when I was unhappy with the thought of you getting married and to convince me you said that she would be a nice person and the one who will love and care for me just as you do. Remember?"
Lu Qiang nodded to hear it and said, "Yes, I remember."
"She is really a nice person," Lu Lijun said again which brought smiles to Lu Qiang and Lu Feng’s faces. It was good news for them as Lu Lijun never thought about anyone in this way other than his two favorite brothers.
They were aware that Lu Lijun had accepted her in their lives but expressing it by saying ’she is a nice person’ was a relief for them and they were sure about his acceptance towards Jiang Yuyan.
"She is, Lu Lijun," Lu Qiang and Lu Feng replied at the same time having smiles on their faces.
"So, as I promised, I will love and care for her always from now on," Lu Lijun said again.
"You should. She needs lots of love and care from all of us," Said Lu Qiang.
Lu Lijun then looked at Lu Feng and asked, "Brother Lu Feng, You will do the same, right?"
Lu Feng felt a bit awkward and said, "We all will care for her, Lu Lijun. She is now a part of our family."
Lu Qiang looked at Lu Feng and assured him through eyes that it’s fine and he didn’t need to feel awkward like this to which Lu Feng nodded as saying ’Okay’.
In Jiang residence...
Just as Lu Family, Jiang’s were having a good time too by discussing a few things and teasing Jiang Yuyan along whenever they got a chance. On the dining table during dinner, Jiang Yang was looking at Jiang Yuyan who was eating slowly and said, "Eat properly little sis. Tomorrow is an important day for you. If you won’t eat properly, I won’t be surprised to see you fainting and falling on the floor."
"I am not that weak," she said while still going through the food and thinking what to eat.
"Yeah I saw that when you dealt with those three guys as easily as they were garbage and you were putting them in a dustbin," said Jiang Yang reminding her about what happened on the day of their mini trip with Lu brothers.
Their parents were shocked to hear it and looked at their kids but before they could ask anything something happened and they kept silent.
Putting the chopsticks in her hands on a dining table with the ’Thud’ sound, she looked at her brother with cold expressions on her face with her bright-looking eyes turned into a dark one and said, "Even the garbage is better than those kinds of men."
Seeing the same threatening darkness in her eyes, Jiang Yang kept silent for a while and his parents did the same. They were aware of this side of their daughter which could be dangerous and she somehow managed to control it to some extent. They left it to Jiang Yang as only he knew how to handle her whenever she was angry.
