Chapter 79 I Know You Well..
When Lu Qiang heard his grandpa, he was shocked and couldn"t say anything. He was already exhausted from the emotional battle in his head all day long. He just stood still at his place and looked at his grandpa with surprised expressions.
When elder Lu saw his grandson with surprised expressions on his face, he just smiled while looking at him and continued talking.
"I am with you since the day you born. I watched you growing up in front of my eyes. I know, when you are happy, when you are sad, what do you want, what do you like or what you don"t, even though you never expressed it."
Lu Qiang was listening to his grandpa"s each and every single word carefully while standing inside that patio.
Grandpa continued and said, "Do you think, I don"t know how much you missed her. On her every birthday, you goes to that sugar candy shop and buy it for you, just because she liked it. The gifts she gave you are still there with you."
Every word from elder Lu was surprising Lu Qiang. He just couldn"t understand how his grandpa knew it?
Elder Lu knew, what Lu Qiang was thinking, so he said, "I told you, I know you well. I know, how much you wanted to go to US to meet her but your father stopped you. He did well, as it was the right thing to do at that time."
Lu Qiang couldn"t understand why his father did that, but he knew there was something very serious which made his father to stop him from getting any information about Jiang Yuyan. He was surprised to know that his grandpa knew it too so he asked, "Grandpa! So, you too know about what happened to her?"
Grandpa Lu gave out a deep sigh and said, "Yes! Your father, Lu Jinhai was on his business trip to US, the day that incident happened. When he came back, he was very disturbed and told me everything. I planned to go to the US but because of Lu Jinhai"s accident I couldn"t. When your father was out of danger, I went to US to visit her after a month. I got to see her only from afar and I had to return back to China, feeling helpless as couldn"t do anything to help her. n.o.body was allowed to meet her."
Elder Lu"s voice sounded really sad. "Jiang Yang might have told you that eight years before she...."
Lu Qiang interrupted his grandpa and said, "No! He didn"t tell me anything because I need to know it from her. I want her to trust me and tell me everything."
Elder Lu understood, what his grandson was trying to say and didn"t say anything about that incident. He just said, "I hope so too." Then he continued talking about her.
"That child has gone through the worst condition in her life. I just want her to be happy and safe, that"s why I want her to be at our home so that we can look after her when her parents are not here. I know, you will take good care of her."
Lu Qiang nodded and said, "I will!"
Grandpa smiled and said, "But for that she needs to be here in Lu Mansion."
Lu Qiang nodded and calmly said, "Ummm! But I guess she won"t."
Grandpa gave Lu Qiang a questioning look with his one eyebrow raised upward and said, "Did you fight with her last night or what?"
Lu Qiang was stunned to listen this. "Cough**Cough! No, I didn"t."
Grandpa smiled miscellaneously and said, "I know, Jiang Yang was busy in a surgery. The patient was VIP and it was in our hospital."
Lu Qiang was still thinking how his grandfather knew that, he was at Jiang residence.
Elder Lu then answered Lu Qiang"s unspoken words, "That VIP person was n.o.body but our family and business friend Mr. Ning. We went to the hospital immediately when we got this news. There we met Jiang Yang and when I asked him about Jiang YuYan being alone in home, he told us that you were at his residence to accompany her."
Lu Qiang then understood the exact situation and gave out a deep sigh. Grandpa continued.
"We need to bring her here. I already promised her parents that we will take care of her and won"t let her be alone. Also Jiang Yang is a doctor so he can"t be with her all the time. It will be good for her to stay in the family, around more people."
Lu Qiang was agree to his grandpa but still was not sure how to make this happen. He then asked, "Who is going to convince her?"
Grandpa smiled and replied with a pride in his voice, "Don"t underestimate your grandpa. Who in this whole world have a gall to say no to me. Your grandpa is still invincible."
Lu Qiang smiled at these words and said, "That"s right! But I don"t want to force her to live here."
Grandpa smiled slyly and said, "She will come by herself."
Lu Qiang looked at his grandpa and asked, "How?"
Elder Lu smiled and said, "Leave it to me. You just prepare for the day after tomorrow."
Lu Qiang nodded and then both went back inside the mansion. Late at night Lu Qiang was thinking about the special upcoming day. It was Jiang YuYan"s birthday on day after tomorrow. He was thinking about what to do for her on her birthday but the most important problem was how to face her?
He opened the bedside table"s drawer and picked up his and Jiang YuYan"s childhood pic and went to sleep.
Early morning, on the day of Jiang Yuyan"s birthday, Jiang Yang went to Jiang YuYan"s room. She was sleeping with her head covered in a quilt and her feet were peeking out of it. Jiang Yang smiled to see her sleeping like this. He went near to her bed and tickled her feet. She turned and moved her feet and curled them to her stomach while still covering her head with a quilt.
Jiang Yang again tickled her feet, she felt irritated and peeked her head out of the quilt only upto her eyes and said, "What?"
Jiang Yang screamed and took one step back and said while placing his both hands on the left side of his chest, "Oh My G.o.d! What a scary face! Do you want to give heart attack to this cardiologist?"
Jiang YuYan got up and sat down on her bed. Her hairs were messy and her eyes looked swollen with faint shadows under them. It looked like she was not able to sleep properly.
She was rubbing her sleepy eyes with the back side of her palms. Jiang Yang held her palms and stopped her then said, "Don"t rub your eyes, wash them with water. She stopped and looked at her brother with her half opened sleepy eyes. Then Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Happy birthday sweetheart."
She smiled and replied, "Thank you brother."
