"My grand-daughter has the same smile as her aunt Fangsu."
With these words from the elder Ming, the atmosphere became a dead silent again. Elder Ming mentioning his daughter in front of others was a rare thing. Though he missed her and cried alone in her memories, he never mentioned about her as if it was a forbidden topic. Lu Qiang could as well others could feel the emotions in elder Ming's voice.
"I am glad that Yuyan has inherited something from her aunt. No wonder she has the prettiest smile." These words from Lu Qiang broke that silence.
Hearing it, finally, the elder Ming looked at Lu Qiang. "You sure have inherited your grandpa's way of sweet-talking."
"I am glad that I did if it made elder Ming feel good," Lu Qiang replied politely while looking at elder Ming with no expression on his face.
"I guess, other than that old man, you are the only one who can leave me speechless," elder Ming said calmly.
"My apology. I don't intend to do it," Lu Qiang said.
Giving out a deep sigh and finally having a slight smile on his lips, elder Ming said, "You can sit now. I don't want your grandpa to blame me for treating you in a bad way."
"It's between both of us, grandpa has nothing to do with it," Lu Qiang replied still standing not in a hurry to sit.
"Then, I shall keep you standing the whole time," elder Ming said looking at him.
"I don't mind if elder Ming wishes me to do so," Lu Qiang said.
Though these two were talking calmly, it was like a battle of being polite and no one was ready to give up. It seems more like they were testing each other.
Just then Jiang Yuyan came to Ming Mansion. As she entered, she looked worried and saw the scene that everyone was sitting and Lu Qiang was standing while facing elder Ming.
After coming back home from the hospital, Jiang Yang went to his sister's room. She was reading a book while sitting in a bed, resting back at the headboard. She didn't give attention to her brother.
As she ignored him, Jiang Yang spoke, "I was here to tell you something spicy but as you are not interested, I will go back."
Still, there was no response from Jiang Yuyan so Jiang Yang said while going out of the room, "I hope, Lu Qiang can have a nice talk with grandpa Ming."
Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan stopped what she was doing and closed the book in her hand. "What did you just say, brother?"
"Nothing much, my tongue just slipped. You continue your thing. We can talk later." Saying Jiang Yang went out of the room and Jiang Yuyan followed him after getting out of the bed in a hurry.
Jiang Yang entered his room and sat on the couch lazily knowing that his sister was following him. Jiang Yuyan followed him inside and said while catching her breath, "Tell me what it is."
"I am feeling so tired and I need a shower. Can you give me my clothes?" Jiang Yang asked ignoring her.
Frowning, Jiang Yuyan went to the wardrobe and pulled out a set of clothes for him. Passing it to him she said, "Here! Now tell me what were you saying when you were in my room."
Accepting clothes from her and getting up from the couch, he said, "Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that Lu Qiang is on the way to Ming Mansion to invite grandpa Ming for both of your wedding ceremony."
Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan exclaimed, "What?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Yuyan felt worried and the only thing she could think about at that time was to go to Lu Qiang, "Give me your car keys."
Jiang Yang denied her demand, "Don't think about going there. Let Lu Qiang handle it."
"I want to go. I will face grandpa Ming with him. Don't you know how grandpa Ming is?" Jiang Yuyan insisted.
"He is one of the kindest people I have ever seen who is like coconut, hard from outside and soft inside. Also, don't make it sound like it's a war saying I will face it with him. Grandpa Ming is not going to shoot Lu Qiang for you to go there like a female lead of low-grade dramas and stand in between both of them willing to get shot instead of the male lead."
"I don't know anything let me just go." Jiang Yuyan insisted and started to search for her brother's pocket to find his car keys.
"You don't need to, Yuyan. Now you're making me regret telling you this," Saying, Jiang Yang moved away from her to not let her find a car key.
"But I am glad that your tongue can slip in a better way instead of spurting out annoying words." Jiang Yuyan couldn't get the car keys from him and said, "Fine, I will go by cab."
As she moved towards the door, Jiang Yang threw the clothes in his hands on the couch and said, "Wait, I will take you there."
"Why didn't you say so before?" she said, getting out of his room.
"Now I am curious to see what will happen," Jiang Yang said and looked at her clothes. She was wearing a simple T-shirt and denim shorts those looked messy. "Don't you want to change your clothes?" Jiang Yang asked.
"No need," Jiang Yuyan said it and both rushed out of the Jiang residence. Sitting in a car, Jiang Yang drove it straight toward the Ming Mansion.
As they were on the highway, Jiang Yuyan exclaimed, "Drive faster!"
"Can't you see the speed here? I am already running over the speed limit now don't make this doctor do something illegal."
"Let me drive then," she said.
"I want to make it alive into Mansion." Saying, Jiang Yang focused on the road ahead. "Now let me drive peacefully."
Jiang Yuyan said nothing and sat quietly.
