In the evening....Lu Mansion.....
Jiang family arrived at the Lu Mansion. As they stepped out of the car, Lu Jinhai welcomed them at the entrance. He was waiting for his dear friend to welcome him personally. Lu Jinhai hugged Jiang Peizhi. Both looked overloaded with the happiness and others were happy to seem them like that.
Lu jinhai and Jiang Peizhi were childhood best freinds. They were from the same town. When Lu Jinhai was planning for his business, Jiang Peizhi was busy with his higher education. Both worked hard to make their dreams come true and both were happy for each other. As Jiang Peizhi didn’t have a promising background, he always wanted to become a successful man whom everyone will recognise.
Jiang Peizhi’s father passed away when he was just 6yrs old. His mother Jiang Zhu alone raised him and did her best to provide him with everything he needed. Elder Lu Huan treated his mother like his own sister. He helped her whenever she faced any kind of trouble.
When Jiang Peizhi was in an university, Lu Jinhai helped him financialy. Jiang Peizhi always tried to refuse everytime because he was able to fullfill his needs with the money he was earning through his part-time job but who could stop stubborn Lu Jinhai from caring for his buddy.
Jiang Peizhi was a high ranking government official. He was in a foreign affair department so he spent his life traveling in different countries. He married to his University friend Su Ruolan who was the daughter of one of the wealthy family in the city. Her Family opposed their marriage initially as Jiang Peizhi didn’t have a promising background but they agreed later because of the stubbornness of Jiang Ruolan.
Jiang Peizhi had to travel to different countries and had stay there for few years so he decided to settle his family at one place. It was hard for his family to travel along because of his children’s education. Finally they decided to settle in New York. After the death of Jiang Peizhi’s mother 8 years before, they hardly came to the China until and unless it was an important matter. Though these two friends were far away from each other, they never forgot to keep in touch.
Everyone entered into the living room where elders greeted them. Lu Chen’s family was not present there as they went to their ancestral village. Lu Chen needed to help his son with few business problems and Lu Hui went there to meet her relatives. As usual Lu Feng was not at home.
Everyone was busy in greeting each other happily just then a black Maybach parked infront of the Lu mansion’s door. Lu Qiang got out of the car and entered into the living room. He was wearing his black business suit. Buttons of his jacket were opened which gave a full view of his white shirt which was perfectly fit to his toned body. He walked inside with his left hand tucked in his pants pocket and other hand was busy to hold his cellphone on which he was checking something. Everyone’s sight followed his direction.
As he entered inside he saw his family and Jiang family were standing in the hall near the sofa and looking in his direction. He smiled and went to them. His sight passed to Jiang YuYan but he acted normally. He smiled at both siblings’ and they did the same. He greeted everyone then excused himself to get fresh and went upstairs to his room.
When Jiang YuYan saw him she felt little uncomfortable but she couldn’t deny the fact that it was difficult to move her sight from this Greek god like looking man.
Just then everyone moved to the sofa and sat there. Adults were busy with their things and these siblings’ were busy with there word fight.
Jiang Yang : "I thoght you will start to drool in few moments when you saw him." He said it in very low voice. They were sitting quite far from everyone leaving all adults to their chatting session.
Jiang YuYan : "Nonsense! I...I was just thinking that why all the businessmen always wears the same black suit? Why they have only two colours, black and while in their life? Don’t they get bored? I am sure his wardrobe must be full of thousands of white shirts and black suits. So Boring." She said while looking in the direction where Lu Qiang went upstairs.
Jiang Yang : "Then make his life colourful Miss Painter."
Just like this sometime passed by and Lu Qiang came downstairs. Jiang YuYan was sitting exactly opposite to the direction of the stairs. She saw him coming downstairs. He was wearing half sleeved white cotton shirt and white pants. His hairs were properly set but looked quite damp. In white clothes his whole persona was looking radiant and attractive.
She was unknowingly looking at him just then his sight moved in her direction. Jiang YuYan gulped down her saliva and suddenly felt her throat was dry. He was smiling mischievously when he saw her looking at him like she was hypnotized. She averted her sight from him and looked in other direction and unfortuantely it was the direction where her brother was sitting just beside her at her left side. Her brother was looking at her too with the teasing smile on his face.
She was sitting at the corner seat of short side of a rectangular sofa where three people could sit comfortably and her brother was sitting just beside her at long side of the sofa which was perpendicular to her side. It was easy for him to notice all her movements from there while sitting close to her.
Her expressions changed as her brother caught her red handed. When she was busy with admiring Lu Qiang’s beauty her brother was looking at her and was smiling. She was feeling nervous now because of these two men in her sight.
When Lu Qiang reached to the sofa, he observed where to sit. He didn’t thought much and sat beside Jiang YuYan leaving the space between them for one person to sit. Now her heart was almost into her throat.
