Chapter 1240 - Returned Home

Finally, Ming Rusheng was discharged from the hospital. Lu Lian accompanied them to Ming Mansion but in her heart, she was unhappy about not being able to see him daily. Once Ming Rusheng was settled in his room, Lu Lian knew she had to leave now. 

"You need to rest. Just because you are home, doesn't mean you will do whatever," Zhang Jei said to her son who was ready to go to the gallery of his room. 

"Understood mother but I guess I am allowed to roam in our home at least," he countered and went towards the gallery. 

"Mother, we know he will do what he wants so you can relax," Ming Lan said as she adjusted some things for Ming Rusheng in his room. 

Lu Lian, who was silent, looked at the man who was standing at the gallery, busy in his own world and facing his back to others. 

She sighed and looked at Zhang Jei, "Aunty, I will take a leave now."

Zhang Jei looked at his son who she thought might react after hearing it but seemed like he didn't bother with it. 

Zhang Jei nodded, "Thank you so much for your help, Lian."

Lu Lian just smiled lightly as she had nothing much to say. She looked at Ming Lan, "See you."

Ming Lan nodded and looked at her brother but he didn't even turn to look at the woman who was going. 

Lu Lian went to the gallery, "Listen to your mother and take care."

"Hmm," was what he said, not even looking at her and she left his room. 

The other two women could only sigh and followed Lu Lian out. Reaching the drawing-room downstairs, Zhang Jei said, "Lian, you can come here anytime you want. You are always welcome here."

Elder Ming, who had just entered the drawing-room with his son, spoke, "This is her home. She can even stay here as long as she wants."

Lu Lian smiled and looked at elder Ming, "Thank you, grandpa. I will keep coming here once in a while."

Elder Ming patted her head, "If my grandson had not lost his mind, I would have taken you two to the marriage bureau and brought us two back with a marriage certificate."

"It's fine grandpa. We can wait," she said. 

"You can wait but my grandpa can't," Ming Lan interrupted, "You don't know how desperate our grandparents can be when it comes to having their great-grandkids."

Elder looked at Ming Lan, "From what you said, it just reminded me that I have one more grandchild who can fulfill my wish. Wait for me till I find a nice man for you."

Ming Lan turned awkward. Her Grandfather or her parents were still unaware of the decision she had taken for her life. 

Lu Lian observed and said, "I will take a leave now. LanLan, won't you come out and see me off?"

"Y-Yes," Ming Lan followed her and left to go out.

Reaching the car, Lu Lian stopped and turned to look at Ming Lan who was silent. 

"What's the matter?" Lu Lian asked. 

It startled Ming Lan, "What?.. I mean...there is nothing."

"I saw you going towards the emergency staircase in the hospital with Mr. Wen," Lu Lain replied, waiting to get an explanation from Ming Lan. 

"I..Just want to talk about something with him."

"What? And why do you suddenly have sweat on your forehead?" Lu Lian asked. 

"I apologize to him for talking rudely with him when his actions hurt my brother," Ming Lan explained. 

"And?" Lu Lian asked as she kept waiting to hear more.

"You have already started acting like my sister-in-law. This won't do," Ming Lan tried to change the topic. 

"Because whether your brother remembers me or not, in the end, he will end up marrying me. Also, I am like this as your friend and not as your sister-in-law. If you wish me to act like one, then I have to pull your ear to ask you what's going on. Now, decide whether you want me to answer as your friend or want me to pull your ears as your sister-in-law."

"I am sure it's all Yuyan's effect on you," Ming Lan frowned. 

"I am waiting," Lu Lian said coldly.

"Okay! There is more to it, but I will tell you later," Ming Lan said.

"Fine! But I would like you to tell me soon."

"I will."

Lu Lian sat in her cat and left while Ming Lan looked at the mansion where her brother was standing in the gallery of his room on the first floor and was looking at the car which was leaving Ming Mansion. 

'I don't know how he will react if he knows I plan to marry his friend? I hope he will accept it.' Ming Lan sighed out deeply as she felt worried. 

------

Lu Lian returned home by late noon as it took time until Ming Rusheng got discharged, then she went to Ming mansion and returned home.

When she entered the living room, elder Lu asked, "How did everything go?"

"He is fine now. Nothing much to worry about," she replied.

"Ming Yusheng told me just now. It's good that he is back home now," Lu Jinhai spoke. 

"You must be tired. Get fresh, I will send something for you to eat," Ning Jiahui said. 

"Thank you, mother," Lu Lian went upstairs to her room. 

Just as she left, Elder Lu spoke, "Now I can see the lost brightness of her face returning to it."

"Hmm, for the past one month she was just worried about Ming Rusheng," Lu Jinhai said. 

Ning Jiahui thought about something, "But I don't understand since when these two were together. If they liked each other, why did she resign?"

Elder Lu chuckled, "Quarrels are normal between couples. I am sure my granddaughter must be the one to trouble him. I know she is calm but short-tempered at the same time."

"I don't think so. She is calm like her mother," Lu Jinhai said. "He must be the one to make her leave."

Elder Lu smiled, "Daughters always like angels to parents but they are angels to their parents only. If you compare her to her mother, then don't forget, whenever your wife gets angry, you are the one to get on your knees."

Cough! Cough!

Ning Jiahui couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "I-I will arrange something for Lian to eat." She hurried away from there while Su Hui and grandma could only smile at her. 

It didn't affect Lu Jinhai and said, "We learn everything from your father. Ask Lu Chen, he does the same."

It was time for Su Hui to feel embarrassed and she thought about how to leave this place. 

Suddenly Grandma spoke, "Both of you are right. But now your father has bad knees to kneel in front of me like before."

"Dear, anything for you," elder Lu said, smiling lightly. 

Grandma frowned, "You are the reason for this entire family to act so shamelessly."
