Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Elder Lu was resting in the bed and hearing Jiang Yuyan's voice, he got up. Jiang Yuyan went inside and the first thing she did was to help elder Lu to sit comfortably by putting the pillows behind for him to rest while leaning back.

"Thank you, dear," elder Lu said and Jiang Yuyan sat at the edge of the bed facing elder Lu.

"I am sorry, grandpa," Jiang Yuyan said and it startled both the elders.

"Why are you saying sorry, dear," grandma asked while elder Lu still didn't know what to say as he could feel Jiang Yuyan's condition and felt short of words.

"For taking your grandson away from you," Jiang Yuyan replied, her eyes facing down and teary.

"You are breaking my heart now." Finally, the elder Lu said something. Tears rolled down from his eyes.

"He lost his life just to save me," said Jiang Yuyan as she broke down into tears.

"What happened is so unfortunate and hurting us all but it was not your fault. He did what he should have done. He was my grandson, and I am proud of him. So don't blame yourself," elder Lu consoled her and grandma agreed to it.

Nodding, Jiang Yuyan spoke again, "Also, I am sorry for not being able to take care of you all as I can only see my pain and didn't think about others. I was being selfish."

This broke the elder's heart and grandma spoke, "We should say sorry to you instead as we could do nothing for you and you alone went through it. What you are doing for Lu Lijun, we are already thankful to you."

The moments passed by them consoling each other. Wiping her tears, Jiang Yuyan said, "From now on Lu Lijun and everything Lu Qiang left behind, I will take responsibility for it."

"It's good that you think this way but you should first look after yourself," said elder Lu.

Jiang Yuyan nodded and looked at them both, her face carrying serious expressions, "There is something I want to tell you both,"

"Tell us," both waited for her to say it.

"I might do the things which would be wrong in your eyes, but I need to do it," Jiang Yuyan replied without any hesitation.

This worried grandma and she asked, "Dear, what are you….."

Elder Lu, who was calm, stopped his wife by putting his hand on hers, as she was sitting just beside him. Looking at Jiang Yuyan with the same serious expressions as her, "Are you sure about what you have planned?"

His expressions serious and his eyes looked different from what they looked when he was emotional.

"Yes, grandpa," Jiang Yuyan reapplied.

"Then do what you feel right and if anyone says anything, just remember this old man is always there for you," Elder Lu instructed in his serious voice.

Grandma could just look at both of them. These two were crying and emotional a while ago, but now they are talking so seriously.

"Thank you, grandpa," Jiang Yuyan said it and elder Lu patted her head.

Grandma felt worried to think what Jiang Yuyan was up to but said nothing when her husband had no problem with it,

Wishing them a good night, Jiang Yuyan left the elder's room. Closing the door back, grandma Zhao Shuang went back to elder Lu, her face having worried expressions and her eyes were asking so many questions to the man in front of her.

"Don't worry, she knows what she is doing," elder Lu assured his wife.

"I am worried about her. She is so indifferent and sometimes seems scary, opposite to what the woman should look when her world fell apart," said grandma.

"She is one hurt woman who is no less than a wounded tigress. She is not as weak as she looks. Those who hurt her, have to pay her back," elder Lu commented.

"But what can she do when even the police cannot do anything?" grandma asked.

"Right now she holds the power that surpasses everyone," said elder Lu and grandma looked at him questioningly.

Nodding to her questioning gaze, elder Lu spoke, "Exactly what you are thinking right now. So don't worry."

With this, grandma didn't ask any question to her husband and quietly went to sleep.

Leaving the elder's room, Jiang Yuyan went back upstairs and stopped in front of one room. It was not her room but her mother-in-law's room. Since Lu Qiang died, her mother-in-law visited her in the hospital so many times, but at that time, Jiang Yuyan didn't talk to anyone.

She remembered her mother-in-law's crying face whenever she came to her, but Jiang Yuyan had nothing to say to anyone but keep crying over her loss. Knocking on the door, Jiang Yuyan entered the room where Lu Lian was asking her mother to take her medicines, but Ning Jiahui didn't want to.

Sitting in the chair in front of the glass window while staring at the dark sky blankly, Ning Jiahui's eyes never stopped shedding tears.

"Mother, please stop crying and take this medicine or you will fall sick." Lu Lian, who herself was emotional, seeing her mother, was trying to convince her.

Helplessly, Lu Lian looked at Jiang Yuyan who just entered the room while Ning Jiahui had no recognition of anyone's presence inside the room.

Jiang Yuyan stepped towards her mother-in-law, who was sitting in the chair. Kneeling in front of the chair, Jiang Yuyan sat while resting her head on Ning Jiahui's lap, just like a kid as if that kid wished her mother to console her.

Finally, Ning Jiahui recognized Jiang Yuyan's presence and looked at her with teary eyes. She patted Jiang Yuyan's head as Jiang Yuyan continued sitting with her head resting in her mother-in-law's lap, her eyes closed and tears rolling down from them.

Not saying anything, Ning Jiahui continued caressing Jiang Yuyan's head softly and Lu Lian who was trying to hold her tears back, couldn't stop herself from crying and going to her mother and her sister-in-law.

Lu Lian sat beside Jiang Yuyan. Ning Jiahui hugged both of her girls, and finally, there was a sound of crying and sobbing in the room.
