Chapter 110 It"s Time To Change!!
In Jiang residence…
Jiang Yuyan was alone once the men left the house. She watched television for an hour then went to her room. She was just about to enter in her painting room, when the doorbell rang. She came downstairs and moved to the door to check who it was.
Jiang Yuyan opened the door and she couldn"t help but feel shocked. The person in front of her was carrying a beautiful flower bouquet in his hands. He smiled and said, while pa.s.sing that bouquet to Jiang Yuyan, " Happy belated birthday my love."
Jiang Yuyan was still surprised. She replied after a moment, "Thank you Grandpa Lu!"
Elder Lu smiled and said, "Are you going to make me stand here at the door?"
Jiang Yuyan came out of her shock upon hearing these words from elder Lu and said, "Grandpa Lu! Come.. Come inside, please!"
Elder Lu suddenly decided to visit Jiang Yuyan. He wanted to visit heron her birthday, the day before, but he knew Lu Qiang might have planned something and didn"t want to ruin it. He decided to visit her the next day with a plan in his mind.
Elder Lu entered inside the house. Jiang Yuyan made him sit on the sofa in the living room. She went to the kitchen and brought a cold drink for him and joined him on the sofa.
Elder Lu accepted the drink and asked, "How have you been doing dear?"
Jiang Yuyan smiled and replied, "I am doing good grandpa. How are you?"
Elder Lu suddenly became dramatic. He took a sip of a drink slowly then sighed with a sad expression on his face and said, "Just counting my last days."
Jiang Yuyan felt worried by his reply and asked, "Why are you saying this grandpa? You are still very young."
Elder Lu again replied with sad tone, "You are right dear, I am young at heart but this body is old now and don"t know when it will betray me."
Jiang Yuyan felt sad on hearing these words from him and said, "Grandpa don"t talk like this. You know how much we all love you."
Elder Lu was getting expected replies from her. He made his face even sadder and said, "n.o.body loves me or else they would have listen to whatever I said."
Jiang Yuyan asked, "Hmm? Who dared to not listen to you?"
Elder Lu replied, "Everyone. All are same."
Jiang Yuyan tried to cheer him and said, "No Grandpa, no one can defy you. You are very important to everyone."
Elder Lu Suddenly changed his track and asked while raising his one eyebrow in a question, "Does that everyone include you?"
Jiang Yuyan replied with a confidence in her voice "Of course, Grandpa!"
Grandpa smiled pleasantly on hearing it from her and said, "Then come to the Lu Mansion and stay there with us."
Jiang Yuyan felt trapped and couldn"t say anything after seeing the pleasant smile on his face, compared than those sad expressions. She didn"t realize what this sweet talking grandpa was trying to do. When she realized, it was already late.
She just thought, "Now I understand where you got all those skills, Lu Qiang!"
Upon seeing no response from Jiang Yuyan, the smile on his face disappeared. He again made a sad face and said , "See! This is what I was talking about."
Jiang Yuyan fumbled a little and said, "No! It"s not like that grandpa. I was…."
"Ohh! Then it"s good to see, at least someone still listens to this old man." Before Jiang Yuyan could say anything, elder Lu stopped her from talking and said in a sad tone again.
Jiang Yuyan couldn"t say anything further other than agreeing to what he said. She nodded as saying "Yes!"
She knew what grandpa was trying to do and decided to play along. Moreover, she was ready to move into Lu Mansion. She was not worried about being with Lu Qiang like she was before, but grandpa didn"t let her say her part
Elder Lu saw her agreeing to his words and said emotionally. "I am glad that you are ready to come to Lu Mansion."
Jiang Yuyan smiled and said, "As long as you are happy grandpa."
Jiang Yuyan was just wondering how quickly grandpa changed his expressions from happy to sad once again. She thought of him as a kid who could act in any way to fulfill his own demands. She couldn"t help but smile about his act.
Elder Lu smiled and said, "That"s why I call you "my love". You are my obedient and the best grandchild."
Jiang Yuyan just smiled on what he said.
Grandpa asked being excited to see how she got ready to come to Lu Mansion in a minute, "So when will you be ready to move in? I will personally come to pick you up."
Jiang Yuyan replied, "That, I have to discuss with brother Yang."
"Jiang Yang? Haha! What is there to ask him? He is even more eager to send you to Lu Mansion." Elder Lu was too happy with the thought of her coming to Lu Mansion that he didn"t realized what he was going to say.
Jiang Yuyan heard him and asked with a serious expression on her face, "So both of you planned this together?"
Elder Lu fumbled a little and thought about what he just said. He then replied, "What plan dear? He.. actually.. we are just worried about you as this city is still new to you."
Jiang Yuyan still had that serious expression on her face and didn"t say anything. She didn"t want to let go of this opportunity to scare her over reacting grandpa.
Elder Lu felt worried with the thought of making her upset as she caught him. He smiled and said, "Don"t be upset dear. I won"t force you to come to Lu Mansion if you don"t want to."
Jiang Yuyan replied with same serious expressions, "Who said I don"t want to come to Lu Mansion?"
Grandpa Lu was surprised to hear this and said, "So you already decided to come to Lu Mansion before I even came here."
Jiang Yuyan smiled and said, "Yes!"
Elder Lu: "So, I did all this for nothing. n.o.body told me about this."
Jiang Yuyan: "That"s because I didn"t tell anyone yet."
Elder Lu sighed and said, "It"s fine, as long as you are coming to the mansion."
Then, elder Lu smiled and mumbled to himself, "Finally, he proved he is my grandson and didn"t fail to work his charm. Haha!"
Jiang Yuyan looked at grandpa and asked, "Did you say something?"
Elder Lu Replied, "I just said that I am so happy that you are going to live with us."
After some time elder Lu bid a farewell and Jiang Yuyan was again alone in the house. She went back to her painting room and looked at the painting she made days before which was still incomplete. Jiang Yuyan stood up in front of it and started to observe it. She had sad expressions on her face.
After few moments of continuous staring she sighed and said, "This will not do. Now it"s a time to change."
Jiang Yuyan removed that painted canvas from the stand, rolled it and threw it in a dust been. She then Put on a new canvas on that stand and smiled to look at that white, fresh and empty canvas.
She put aside the already used painting brushes, colors, color tray from the table and brought everything fresh in there from the shelf"s in the room. She stood in front of that canvas while observing it carefully then started her work. She mixed colors and started to paint with a pleasant smile on her face.
