Chapter 1601: Family Time



The news of Lu Lian's pregnancy quickly spread among the close families, and soon the Ming household was abuzz with calls, congratulatory gifts, and personal visits.

By the much time, the Lu family was the first to receive the news as Elder Ming couldn't wait to mock his friend, Elder Lu. All the Lu family members arrived at the Ming Mansion.

Lu Lian, who had been resting in her room, came downstairs to witness the two elderly men arguing with each other.

"...don't soar too much, Ming Shihong. In the end, the one fulfilling your wish is my granddaughter," Elder Lu's voice reached everyone.

"She is not your granddaughter anymore. She is a Ming now, so you have no right to say that. She is my family," Elder Ming retorted.

"Still, you can't deny that it will be my great-grandchild as well. So while you're having your first great-grandchild, I'm going to have my third."

Elder Ming looked at Ming Lan, who had arrived at the Ming Residence immediately upon hearing the news. "Lanlan, tell this old coot that you'll soon be giving me another grandchild."

Ming Lan was taken aback, caught off guard by being suddenly pulled into the argument between the two elderly men.

"Tell him," Elder Ming urged, pulling her out of her shock.

Everyone looked at Ming Lan sympathetically, as these old men seemed to have no shame at

all. With age, they were losing their sanity and embarrassing their grandchildren.

"G-Grandpa..."

"Yes or no?" the older man insisted.

"Yes."

Elder Ming scoffed. "Did you see, she said yes."

Elder Lu scoffed as well and looked around, finding his target. "Yuyan, tell him you're going to give me another grandchild too."

Yuyan hadn't expected to be drawn into the argument and realized she had no time to pity Ming Lan. She was undergoing treatment and wasn't sure about anything yet.

Others in the room thought differently. No talk about marriage but jumped straight to having children. How desperate are these two old men to have grandkids that they disregard social formalities?

"We will, Grandpa," Lu Lijun answered instead, offering her a reassuring smile, making her relax.

"Did you see that?" Elder Lu mocked his friend. "So shall I start counting how many more grandchildren I'm getting?"

"Then add one to my list as well. Yuyan is my granddaughter. If you count Lian's child, then I will count Yuyan's in mine."

"Copy cat," Elder Lu spat out.

Everyone present could only sigh in disbelief.

"Who will stop these two?" Lu Bao mumbled, looking at Lu Lian.

"I accept the praise."

"Lian, have you informed Nicky?" Lu Bao asked.

"I wanted to, but that girl must be busy today, tonight, not sure how long," Lu Lian

answered.

"What do you mean?"

"She is with brother Yang?" Lu Lian added, "..since yesterday evening."

Lu Bao's eyes widened and she looked at Jiang Yuyan who nodded.

"Oh my god, finally," Lu Bao exclaimed happily. "Now one of us is single. I am so happy."

Lu Lijun retuned to office where Noah was busy working in his office. Lu Lijun entered and saw the busy man focussed on the laptop screen, his fingers working non-stop.

"What's the status?" Lu Lijun asked.

"Not done yet. If it was simple program, would have done. But seeing how tight the security there is and we have to enter and leave without being noticed, it's gonna be hard."

"How long?"

"A few days with the time I am getting to do it."

"Let me handle the rest of it."

"Don't. Mister Xiao Min seems to keep an eye on what we are doing. He just dropped those file here for me to work," Noah spoke, "It seems like our visit to base have worried them

somehow."

"Keep it low then till we get what we want," Lu Lijun instructed, "Leave it and let's get down to business. We have meeting in ten minutes."

Noah looked at him, "It seems like you are my assistant as instead of me, you are reminding

me of the meeting."

"Doesn't matter. I can be your assistant," Lu Lijun said ready to leave, "These are just titles,

and are of no significance over our friendship."

Noah smiled and stood up, keeping the laptop aside, "So sweet. You almost made me want to

confess my love to you."

"Do that with your man," Lu Lijun countered, and stepped out of the door.

Noah followed while sighing, "You are no fun. Always have to bring that asshole between us."
