"There is nothing to be serious about it, father. They love each other so it's given, they should be together," Jiang Yang replied firmly not being affected by his father's passive behavior.
Jiang Peizhi understood what Jiang Yang said but still, he was worried and said, "I am her father and if she finds someone who genuinely loves her and she loves him too then I would be more than happy but with her past condition we all know it's not that easy for her."
"I know what you are worried about, father. You are scared because of her past that, if she won't be able to be happy with a person and suffer from the heartbreak she will go back to her old self." Jiang Yang said.
Mo Ruolan was on her son's side this time but she understood her husband's worry as a father and said, "Honey. Your concern about her is fine but the condition in the past was different. Don't relate it to this one." She spoke to make her husband understand the difference between the situations.
"I know both situations are the same but don't you remember what doctor Christian said. He clearly instructed us to keep her away from any kind of huge shock or mental stress or it might trigger her. If she went back to her old self again, I won't be able to forgive myself ever." Jiang Peizhi said not wanting to understand them. He looked emotional too and why not as he saw his precious daughter suffering the pain as in hell.
"I remember it father but don't worry, nothing like this would ever happen." Jiang Yang said to assure his father.
"How can you be so sure. It's our responsibility to keep her away from anything that might affect her and support her to live a better and happy life. " Jiang Peizhi said being passive again,
Mo Ruolan was feeling upset with her husband's behavior as he was not ready to understand anything and said, "So what do you want to do, honey? Keep her with us for her entire life and make her live her life alone when the girls of her age are already married and have their own kids."
These words from Mo Ruolan were like an eye-opener for Jiang Peizhi and he said in a calm voice, "I just want her to live a happy life and I don't want her past to affect her in any way."
"And for that Lu Qiang is the only option we have, father." Jiang Yang said being sure about his decision of letting his sister go with Lu Qiang.
"Why are you so sure about him?" Jiang Peizhi asked and Mo Ruolan too wanted to know the reason behind Jiang Yang's trust in Lu Qiang.
Jiang Yang put the chopsticks in his hands down and said calmly while looking at his father, "Lu Qiang was waiting for her to return to China for all these years and he was in love with her even when he couldn't even see or talk to her. He missed her and spend this time just with the memories he had with her."
"He made one promise to her when we were kids that he will marry her one day and he didn't forget it even for a single moment till now. He tried his best to make that promise come true even if it was difficult for him to do so because of Yuyan's condition. There were many bad moments but he never thought to give up on her."
Jiang Peizhi and Mo Ruolan were listening to each and every word from Jiang Yang carefully without disturbing him in between.
Jiang Yang continued, "When two people are in love and very close to each other, a man mostly does things the way he wants but Lu Qiang is still waiting for her to be ready to accept him and he will wait even if it takes more time. For him, just being with her is more important than other things. His love of her is not something that we can measure, it's endless." Jiang Yang said every possible thing he could, to show his father why Lu Qiang was the right person for his sister.
"Yuyan's condition? You mean he knows about her and her past." Jiang Peizhi asked being surprised. Mo Ruolan wanted to ask the same question too.
"Yes father and he was the one to take her out of it and he is the reason for her being happy now. Also, Yuyan told him everything, herself," Jiang Yang said and started to eat again as what he wanted to say was finished.
"Herself?" Jiang Peizhi exclaimed. This was a shocking thing for both Jiang Peizhi and Mo Ruolan as all these years she never talked about this to anyone except for her last conversation with doctor Christian four years back. She preferred not to mention that incident ever to anyone as remembering it was like torture for her. She wanted to bury it as it never happened.
Jiang Peizhi was surprised as well as a bit happy too as to think his daughter was ready to live a normal life. He felt bad for whatever they tried all this time was not able to help her. "We tried everything to get her out of it but how..…."
"It's called true love, father which can make anything possible and trust me it's all only because of Lu Qiang's love, care, patience and efforts towards her," Jiang Yang's words made his parents speechless as they had nothing to complain about.
Sensing the silence in the room Jiang Yang spoke again, "Moreover, she feels the same for him so both of you should be happy that your daughter is in love and that too badly. She is head over heels for him." He said and started to dig in food with a smile on his face.
Listening to him, Mo Ruolan smiled too while Jiang Peizhi was happy but didn't react to his words.
