Chapter 1589: Drama Queen Oldies
Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan reached Lu Mansion where the entire Lu family was waiting for them.
"Where are these two?" Ning Jiahui said worriedly as she came to the living room after checking on the dinner preparations in the kitchen.
"They will be here soon. Don't be so paranoid," Lu Jinhai spoke, trying to comfort his worried wife, "they are not kids for you to worry about."
Ning Jiahui nodded while the two mischievous young women, Lu Lian and Lu Bao, grinned at each other.
"I am sure those two are busy celebrating today's event in their own way," Lu Bao whispered. Lu Lian nodded with a smile, and whispered back, "It's been hours since office hours ended. What else could be keeping them busy if not that?"
"Hehe, I know you have a sharp mind like mine," Lu Bao grinned back and asked, "Is your husband not here yet?"
"He will be here with other family members. Grandpa insisted on inviting the entire Ming family," Lu Lian answered. "Yuyan's parents are invited as well."
"Brother Yang would be here as well?" Lu Bao asked. "Maybe. I heard he is busy at the hospital."
Finally, there was the sound of a car arriving.
"Seems like they are finally here." The two sisters walked towards the entrance of the mansion and watched the couple walk together.
"Mother, they are here. You were worrying for nothing," Lu Lian spoke loudly.
Ning Jiahui looked at the two, "Good, you're back. Freshen up and come for dinner." "Freshen up?" Lu Lian commented, "These two look like they've already freshened up."
"Oh, now I remember, these weren't the clothes you two wore when you went to the office," Lu Bao said in a playful tone.
Jiang Yuyan gulped, tempted to murder these two girls.
"Stop wasting their time," Ning Jiahui scolded the girls and turned to her son, "Grandpa and Grandma have been waiting for you. Don't keep them waiting."
Lu Lijun nodded and went to his grandparents, who were sitting in the drawing room.
"My lion is here," Elder Lu said happily, while Grandma offered him a pleasant smile.
Lu Lijun talked to them for a while, and the two elders showed how proud they were of him.
Just then, three more cars arrived, belonging to the Ming family and Jiang family. Everyone welcomed them.
Ming Rusheng walked up to Lu Lijun, "Congratulations."
"Thank you," Lu Lijun replied.
Elder Ming and others congratulated him as well.
"Where is your son, Jiang Peizhi?" Elder Lu asked.
"If he finished his work soon, he would be here," he replied.
After talking for a while, everyone sat around the dining table.
"Lijun, you were so impressive at the press conference," Lu Bao said while enjoying the meal,
"so impressive that I couldn't help but come here to see you personally."
"True. My brother is truly something," Lu Lian added. "He spares no one from his wickedness. Glad to know we are not the only ones to suffer him. Those poor journalists."
"That I agree," a newcomer announced, arriving. "Am I too late?"
"It was expected of you, as Nicky is back now," Lu Lian teased.
Jiang Yang offered her playful smile, "You never disappoint me with your smartness, Lian," and winked at her.
"Nicky? Why didn't you bring her here?" Elder Lu asked.
"Not today, but very soon I will bring her here to meet you, Grandpa," Jiang Yang replied as he settled into the chair and servants served him. "I need to meet her parents first."
"That's like a good man," Elder Ming said, "always decisive and never takes long to carry out things," and then glanced at Lu Lijun with narrowed eyes, "Unlike others who keep forgetting important things while on the way to win the world."
Everyone understood Elder Ming was displeased that Lu Lijun had not proceeded with any confirmed decision about Jiang Yuyan and was focused on business and his work only.
"I have already won the world, Grandpa Ming," Lu Lijun responded confidently.
"Yeah, I know you are now the president of Lu Corporation, so obviously you've won the world," Elder Lu mocked.
"I was referring to Yuyan, grandpa. She is my world," Lu Lijun spoke calmly, not minding the sulking old man.
The Lu family members smiled, knowing well how Lu Lijun was and how capably he handled everything.
Lu Lijun continued, "If Grandpa is referring to marrying her officially, that doesn't really concern us both as we were married ten years back. But I understand what you mean-that she should officially be known to everyone as my wife. I am ready for that right away, but it will happen when Yuyan is ready. I do not wish to force her into anything. But I assure you, sooner or later, it will happen."
Elder Ming turned to Yuyan, his gaze serious, "What does he mean by 'when you are ready'? Is it that you haven't thought about it yet, or do you not find him suitable for you? If so, it's not too late yet. I can find better men for you."
Jiang Yuyan was taken aback by this and almost choked on her food.
Cough! Cough!
Lu Lijun patted her back and offered her water, "Take it slow." His attention was entirely on her, forgetting others around, "Look up."
Jiang Yuyan, being coaxed like a little girl, took a sip of water from the glass that Lu Lijun held for her. "Take it easy. You know how the old men in our family are."
"Are you blaming me for being old and suggesting that I am senile to say anything?" Elder Ming exclaimed at Lu Lijun to which he didn't react and instead continued to pay attention to
Jiang Yuyan.
"Ming Shihong, calm down," Elder Lu interjected.
"How can I calm down? It's about my granddaughter and her future. I can't let her waste more time when she could find a better man," Elder Ming retorted.
"Grandpa," Yuyan finally spoke, her voice gentle, capturing Elder Ming's attention.
"Grandpa, you do not need to find anyone for me. I am happy with Lu Lijun," she replied calmly. "I need some time because so many things are happening at the same time. I do not want anything to distract us when the company's situation needs serious attention. Lu Lijun has just become president today, and I want him to focus on his work instead of spending time dealing with news like today. We will announce it to everyone when the time is right.
Rest assured."
"So, you have made up your mind to marry him and to be with him?" Elder Ming asked.
"Yes, Grandpa," Jiang Yuyan spoke.
It was the first time everyone heard it from her mouth directly; previously, it had only been understood among the family members what the two planned. But today, they both openly declared their intentions to be with each other and to marry soon.
Lu Lijun had always made his intentions clear to everyone but Jiang Yuyan was yet to say it loud and clear for everyone's understanding. Hearing this from her finally, acted like a balm to their worries, and they let out a sigh of relief.
"Very well," Elder Ming spoke, "But don't keep me waiting for too long. Make it happen
before I die."
"What are you talking about, Ming Shihong?" Elder Lu spoke up, "You should instead say that you won't die unless they get married and keep them tormenting until that day." "True," Elder Ming agreed and turned to Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun, "Did you two hear that?"
"Yes, Grandpa," Jiang Yuyan replied, while Lu Lijun simply smiled.
These two old men, such drama queens, had managed to make Jiang Yuyan speak up-what more could Lu Lijun and the others want?
