Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Ming Lan went to the Lu Mansion in the evening to meet Lu Bao as her grandpa accompanied her. She greeted the elders and others in the living room.

"How have you been dear?" Elder Lu asked.

"I am fine grandpa," she replied.

Elder Lu looked at his friend Ming Shihong, "She took after my sister-in-law, so elegant."

"But not obedient at all," Elder Ming spoke as he gave his granddaughter a displeased look.

"You started again," elder Lu gave him a narrowed-eyed look.

"She finally got time to return or I was wondering if she will visit my grave directly," Elder Ming said.

"Grandpa…."

"I know you will return soon and don't worry this old man won't dare stop you. Do what you want," Elder Ming interrupted her.

"Stop embarrassing her in front of everyone. She is doing a noble work," Elder Lu looked at Ming Lan, "This grandpa is proud of you."

"Thank you grandpa Lu," Ming Lan said and looked at her grandpa, "I am sorry grandpa."

"I was just kidding. Don't mind me," elder Ming spoke but Ming Lan could see he was in fact upset.

"This time I will be working in China so I will be home. Is it enough to make grandpa happy?" she asked.

"I don't know."

"Why are you acting like  a spoiled kid, Ming Yusheng?" Elder Lu asked.

"I am not spoiled but my grandkids are," he said.

"Then what do you want her to do?" Elder Lu asked and looked at Ming Lan, "You will do it right?"

Ming Lan nodded and looked at her grandpa, "Yes grandpa. Tell me what I can do to make up for it."

Lu Lian put her hand on Ming Lan's hand and shook her head lightly saying don't say a word but Ming Lan didn't understand and looked at her quiet grandpa.

"Grandpa, what should I do?"

Lu Lian sighed, 'This girl is out of her mind.'

"I am sure you won't listen to me so I won't waste my words."

"Tell me, grandpa. I will do anything to make you happy," she said.

"Are you telling the truth?" Elder Ming asked.

Lu Lian almost squeezed Ming Lan's hand. Ming Lan whined silently in pain and looked at Lu Lian why she did it.

Lu Lian mumbled, "You are digging your own grave."

Before Ming Lan could react her elder Ming spoke, "I want to see you getting married soon."

It shocked Ming Lan and then she looked at Lu Lian who was trying to warn her saying these two old men were trying to trap her.

"G-Grandpa…"

Elder Ming looked at elder Lu, "Did you see Lu Huan, she is already stuttering and I know she will say no to it. This is why I was not saying anything."

Elder Lu looked at Ming Lan, "One day you will get married so there is nothing bad in saying yes for the sake of old men like us who are closer to say bye to this world."

Another guilt trap.

Ming Lan looked at both friends in disbelief and Lu Lian could only pity her.

"I will think about it," Ming Lan spoke and didn't say no to it directly.

Elder Lu smiled at her, "This is like a good girl," and looked at his friend, "Now stop sulking."

Elder Ming looked at his granddaughter, "Are you sure?"

She nodded hesitantly and Elder Ming smiled, "I am happy now."

The others present there knew what was going on and just enjoyed the overacting drama from the two old men.

Jiang Yuyan who came downstairs to meet her grandpa who she got to know had arrived home, she heard everything going and could only pity the poor girl.

Seeing her, Ming Lan stood up and went to her, "Yuyan!"

Jiang Yuyan smiled at her and asked, "How have you been?"

"I am good," she replied and mumbled, "Somehow got saved from those cunning clutches." she referred to the two older men who had just trapped her.

Jiang Yuyan smiled widely and mumbled back, "You should have been careful then."

"From next time I will."

Lu Lian went to the two, "Don't you want to meet Baobao or are you happy to get married the next day if our grandpa insists on you too?"

"Please take me away from here," Ming Lan mumbled.

"Yuyan, join us," Lu Lian offered.

"I need to talk to grandpa Ming first," Jiang Yuyan explained.

"Right, we will leave then," Lu Lian took Ming Lan to Lu Bao's room and Jiang Yuyan went to talk with Grandpa Ming.

"Where are your other grandkids?" Elder Ming asked his friend.

"Lu Feng and Lu Han are in other cities and Lu Lijun…" Elder Lu looked at Lu Jinhai, "Where is your son?"

Elder Lu called Lu Lijun like this instead of calling him my grandson, then it was a sign elder Lu was upset with Lu Lijun for real.

Even Lu Jinhai didn't know why Lu Lijun was not home, "Father...I will talk to him."

Elder Lu frowned, "You will talk to him as if your son listens to anyone."

"Father..that.." when elder Lu was angry, no one could say a word.

"Grandpa, I talked to him today. He is a bit busy with work and said he will be back soon and first, he will talk to you," Jiang Yuyan informed and Lu Jinhai felt relieved.

As it was Jiang Yuyan who talked, elder Lu calmed down and said, "He better return soon or tell him to forget he has grandpa."

Jiang Yuyan somewhere felt guilty that Lu Lijun was not returning home because of her. She didn't know what to think about it. She wanted him to be home but then didn't want him to do what he had been doing with her. There was no way out for her.

Jiang Yuyan nodded and elder Ming spoke, "You don't have to order my granddaughter when your grandson is stubborn. If you are that bothered, go to your grandson and twist his ears nicely."

"Your granddaughter is my family first. Don't act like she is only your granddaughter," Elder Lu countered and the two friends looked like they would fight over her now.

Jiang Yuyan immediately sat beside elder Ming, "Grandpa, how are you? I heard grandpa was not well. I was…."

"You knew I was not well but I didn't see you coming to visit me," Elder Ming spoke.

Even the almighty president Lu was helpless in front of old drama queens. "I am sorry, grandpa."

"Stop troubling her. It's not like you are dying with that much sickness," Elder Lu countered.

Jiang Yuyan sighed as she didn't know how to coax these two. Have they both woke up from the wrong side to keep sulking like this?

"I will visit grandpa soon," Jiang Yuyan assured, offering him a light smile, and the next moment sulking elder Ming turned calm and said, "You better show up."

"I will!"

------

On the way to Lu Bao's room.

"Why are we going here?" Ming Lan asked.

"Her due date is closer so her stay has been moved to the ground floor. And you know how careless she is and we don't want her to climb stairs while jumping like a bunny in such a condition."

"True. I am already worried how that baby will handle another baby," Ming Lan said as they reached the door and Lu Lian opened it.

The two didn't know the third one heard them talking and the moment they opened they heard the sweet voice. "Even if this baby can't handle her baby, what these two older aunts there are for. I am sure you two will take care of my baby."

Ming Lan mumbled, "She heard us."

"My ears are sensitive to bitching," Lu Bao countered. She was resting in the bed while taking the support of pillows.

"It's not bitching but we are worried for you," Lu Lian explained.

"I am also worried for you two as I am sure you two won't ever get married and die as virgin maidens. What a waste of life when you have to die virgins."

Lu Lian sighed and looked at Ming Lan, "Who will say this girl is pregnant. Look at the way she talks."

"What does it have to do with me being pregnant? This baby is the result of..."

"Enough, Ms. Blatant. You don't have to prove whose granddaughter you are," Lu Lian stopped her and Ming Lan just smiled, "You will never change."

"That I won't," Lu Bao agreed and asked, "By the way how is your brother, Lanlan?"

Ming Lan gave Lu Bao a questioning look. "You didn't ask how I am but you asked about my brother? What's going on? Are you done with Mr. Mu Xichen?"

Lu Lian narrowed her eyes at Lu Bao but who could stop the naughty girl.

"I still love my husband a lot. I was asking about him because there is nothing to ask about as your life is nothing interesting. I had enough of your wildlife photoshoot where you look like a dirty wild mother hen."

"Well, I can't help it."

"That's why I said you will die a virgin."

Ming Lan smiled, "I don't mind. Anyways, having someone in life is just annoying when the work is what I do. That dirty look is my weapon to keep anyone away from me."

"Then I bless you to get one man who will annoy you and like you for being a dirty mother hen. I wish he would follow you wherever you go and annoy you to your bones that you will feel like going crazy."

"There is none," Ming Lan said, and then she changed the topic, "Our Lian is going out with someone these days."

"What? Are you finally dating Mr. M….ummmm"

"Shut your mouth for a while," Lu Lian stuffed the fruit slice in Lu Bao's mouth before she could say Ming Rusheng's name.

"What's there to hide. I know you are dating Brother Wen Zac," Ming Lan spoke.

It shocked Lu Bao and she held her round belly, "Girl, don't give me such shocks or my baby will come out right here," she then looked at Lu Lian, "You are making me anxious. Is it true?"

Lu Lian nodded, "This is why I didn't tell you."

"But…."

"Everything is going fine," Lu Lian interrupted her.

"I need water," Ming Lan spoke.

Lu Lian went to get water from the jar kept on the table and Ming Lan spoke again, "I want a chilled one."

Lu Lian looked at her. "It's winter and you want chilled water."

I wander in hot places so I am used to cold water," Ming Lan explained.

Lu Lian went out of the room to get cold water for her. The moment the door was closed, Ming Lan shifted closer to Lu Bao. "Tell me why were you shocked when I said she is dating Brother Wen Zac?"

"I thought she likes…." Lu Bao stopped.

"My brother, right?" Ming Lan added.

Lu Bao's eyes left wide open and she said, "I wonder how you manage to preserve your smart brain even after wandering in the wilderness. It's not dusty at all."

Ming Lan giggled at a funny remark and said, "So I am right?"

Lu Bao nodded, "Yes. She definitely likes your brother but what is this sudden change?"

"Even I don't know but I am sure that my brother likes her too," Ming Lan added.

"What to do then?"

"Need to find out the way."

Just then the two heard the sound footsteps and Ming Lan shifted back to her place as she said, "We will talk on the phone. I have too much free time to at least get two love birds together."

Lu Bao nodded as she smiled feeling excited about it. The moment Lu Lian entered the room, the two turned silent as if nothing happened.
