Chapter 424 Emotional

When Jiang siblings reached the Ming mansion, they saw Lu Qiang's car parked in the parking space where Jiang Yang too parked his car. Feeling anxious, Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the car and stepped towards the door of the Ming Mansion. Jiang Yang followed his sister in a hurry and stopped her. "Take it easy. Don't be in such a hurry to barge inside. First, let's see what's going on."

Jiang Yuyan agreed and stopped. Both went inside and saw Lu Qiang and elder Ming were talking to each other. Lu Qiang was standing with Xiao Min standing a few steps away from him on the backside of the sofa while other family members were sitting and looking at Lu Qiang and elder Ming.

When both went closer, they were just able to hear Lu Qiang saying, 'my grandpa has nothing to with it' and elder Ming saying 'then I shall keep you standing'.

Only these lines from both of them made Jiang Yuyan feel that things were not going well as she had already decided in her mind that something bad might happen. She did not notice that the atmosphere was calm and there was nothing to be worried about.

Before Jiang Yang could stop his sister and he could say that things are not what we are seeing, she stepped forward to go to Lu Qiang. Seeing her there, Lu Qiang was surprised and others followed his sight just to see Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Yang stepping towards them.

As they reached near the sofa, elder Ming looked at them but said nothing. Ming Jei asked both siblings to have a seat. Jiang Yang sat beside Ming Lan while Jiang Yuyan stepped towards where Lu Qiang was standing and stood beside him looking at the elder Ming.

Seeing his sister and elder Ming, Jiang Yang said in a low voice that just Ming Lan could hear, "As expected of my sister. I think we will get a nice show of love and affection here."

Ming Lan smiled and said, "I am not sure. Knowing my grandpa, it might be another way around."

"Trust me. Grandpa Ming is the second person I would like to have as my grandpa."

"Who is first?" Ming Lan asked curiously.

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Grandpa Lu. That old man is the best." Moving his sight to elder Ming he said again, "And this old man always keeps hiding his best side. I wish to see him as his own self which he keeps hiding."

"If you say so, then I am curious too," said Ming Lan.

"Then see it right away," Jiang Yang whispered.

When these two were talking, Jiang Yuyan was standing quietly beside Lu Qiang with her head bowed down and elder Ming was looking at her.

Moving his sight from Jiang Yuyan to Lu Qiang, elder Ming said coldly, "So, you already had a back-up plan? Impressive."

Lu Qiang understood what elder Ming meant, but he didn't explain, though he never called Jiang Yuyan there. He preferred to stay silent listening to what elder Ming was about to say.

It startled Jiang Yuyan, as she understood what elder Lu meant and said, "No grandpa. I came here on my own. He….."

"Lu Qiang held Jiang Yuyan's hand at her wrist to stop her and said, "We both wished to get a blessing from elder Ming on the most important day of our lives."

Lu Qiang's action made Jiang Yuyan feel puzzled, but she collected herself and said, "Yes, Grandpa, we really want you to attend our wedding."

Elder Ming didn't reply and stayed silent. Everyone was silent again as elder Ming said nothing and instead he looked at Lu Qiang. Jiang Yuyan's heart skipped a bit to see it but Lu Qiang was calm and said, "As elder Ming think Yuyan resembles her aunt, I am sure he won't keep her devoid of his blessings."

Hearing it, elder Ming looked at Jiang Yuyan. Since Jiang Yuyan was a baby, elder Ming always saw his daughter Ming Fangsu in her and it was the truth that she resembled her aunt, especially the way she smiled.

Though Jiang Yuyan was away for so many years, she still remembered how much elder Ming loved her when she was a kid. Stepping towards elder Ming, Jiang Yuyan kneeled in front of him closer to his feet.

Elder Ming was not ready for this but before he could say anything, Jiang Yuyan held elder Ming's hand and said, "Grandpa I still remember how much you loved and cared for me and I also remember what you showed me one day when we were in aunt Ming Fangsu's room."

Elder Ming didn't know what to say as it surprised him that Jiang Yuyan still remembered that day even after so many years.

Jiang Yuyan continued. "That day it was aunt Ming Fangsu's birthday, and you were missing her. I was at Ming Mansion and I was searching for you. You were in my aunt's room, sitting on her bed holding one gift box in your hand. When I came there and asked why were you sad, you told me you have a gift for my aunt but you can't give it to her. Do you remember it grandpa?" she asked, wishing elder Ming should remember that day.

Elder Ming was listening to her silently, going through the memory of that day, his eyes looked moist. Hearing her question, he replied, "I do."

Hearing him, Jiang Yuyan felt glad, and she said, "Then I said, you can think of me as her and give it to me. I was a kid back then and those words from a kid sound the greedy ones but I was being sincere to your feelings for her and wanted you to feel that you had me and I will be always around you so you won't feel lonely."

"I know," elder Ming said with the heavy voice and one could see he was emotional.
