It was Grandma Lu Shuang’s voice. She was standing in a living room near a rectangular sofa, looking at him with a warm, welcoming smile.
She was wearing a sky blue coloured loose top as it was summer and had a black coloured skirt that ended quite below her knees paired with black flat booties and her grey hair tied into a neat bun. She was wearing a simple gold chain around her neck, small gold tops on her ears, and her wedding ring on her finger. She was a beautiful and elegant lady, always liked to keep her attire very simple, but it still looked very classy on her.
The Handsome man saw her, walked in her direction with a smile, and hugged her.
After a hug, she asked, "Lu Qiang!!! How have you been?? It’s been a week since I last saw you. I missed you." Her eyes were filled with happiness, and her face had having smile stretching from ear to ear.
"I missed you too, grandma!!", Lu Qiang said with the same feeling of happiness as her.
Asst Xio Min bowed to her and said, "Good morning, Madam Lu."
"Good morning, Xio Mi.n"
Then Lu Qiang looked at him and said, Assistant Xio Min, you can head back to your home and take a rest." Asst Xio Min then bowed to both of them and took his leave.

Lu Qiang, the elder son of Lu Jinhai and the heir of Lu Corporation.
After Lu Jinhai’s accident, LuCorporation was in a mess as it was a huge blow for the family and the company. At that moment, Lu Qiang took charge of everything.
There were so many people in the company who opposed and created problems for him, but just like his father, he too was not an easy person to deal with, though he was just 18 years old.
Since he was young, he followed his father’s work, though his dream was to become a soccer player, and he was not much interested in business. Lu Jinhai had already started to nurture him to prepare for the future, in case there was any kind of emergency.
He was an obedient and filial son. He learnt about business as well as the people he might have to deal with in the future.
He was a very handsome and talented young man, obviously it was because of the perfect genes from his parents. He was very loving, caring, and protective towards his family, but at the same time, cold towards outsiders. Anyone could see the difference in his behaviour with his family and others.
He was a man of few words. In the company, everyone feared him more than Chairman Lu Jinhai, as he had to take strict actions to deal with troublemakers when he took charge of the Lu corporation in his hands. Everyone called him a devil in the disguise of an angel.

"Grandma, where is the old man?" Lu Qiang asked with a smirk in his eyes.
Before grandma could answer, a loud and angry voice came from the door behind Lu Qiang, " You rascal!! Who are you calling an old man?? I am still very young to give you a few more uncles and aunts, ask your grandma.
Lu Shuang: "__" ( when will he stop being shameless?)
Lu Qiang: "__" ( as expected of my grandfather).
Butler : "__" (cough**cough!!)
Elder Lu Huan just came back from his morning stroll. He was wearing a white t-shirt and a grey track pants, in which he looked younger than his actual age. When he reached the door, he saw that Qiang and his wife were greeting each other, and Qiang was calling him an old man. His expressions changed while thinking, "How dare he call me an old man in front of my woman?"
When Lu Qiang saw him, he walked towards elder Lu Huan. "Grandpa!! How are you?" he asked with a smile on his face and hugged him. Elder Lu hugged him back.
Everyone in the house heard Elder Lu’s loud voice. They came out of their rooms, as it was also going to be a time for breakfast.
Lu Jinhai came downstairs with his wife, Lu Jiahui, and asked," Who made my father spill out his golden words early in the morning?" He then smiled, walked towards his son, and hugged him. Both were about to talk after a hug, but suddenly they heard a voice from their side.
"Do you want my golden words to become true?" Asking this, elder Lu Huan looked at his son, Lu Jinhai, then walked toward his wife.
Lu Jinhai smiled and said, "I don’t have any problem with that, only if mother is ready." Then he looked at his mother.
Lu Shuang poked her elbow in elder Lu’s stomach and said, "Are you planning to betray me and bring a mistress into this house?"
Her words startled Elder Lu Huan. "W...what are you saying?? When I said that??"
"Then what was the meaning of the words you said before?? As you know, right now I am not in a condition to help you make your golden words come true."
Lu Huan panicked and said, "No darling, I can’t even think about it. You are the only one for me." He said with innocent puppy-like expressions on his face, then he looked at his son and gave him a frightening gaze as calling him ’Rascal’ in his mind.
Lu Jinhai smiled mischievously while looking at his father as replying to his gaze,’ like father, like son’.
Everyone was used to seeing this 180-degree turn in Elder Lu’s behavior when it came to his wife, so everyone just smiled.
Lu Jiahui hugged her son and said, You must be tired. Go, get fresh and come downstairs for breakfast." As he nodded and was about to leave after greeting his uncle and aunt, her sight crossed the stains on his white shirt. She asked, "Wait!!! What happened to your shirt? It looks like you spilled coffee on your shirt."
He lowered his face to look at the stains on his shirt, replied with "mmm..." with a quite invisible smile on his lips.
Lu Huan: "Can’t even drink a coffee properly, and I was expecting to have the great grandchildren from him."
Lu Jinhai: "Drinking coffee and making a child are both different things", and looked at his father
Lu Huan: "No, it’s not different!! I am afraid he might have a habit of spilling everything out like a coffee."
Lu Qiang: "...."!! Cough**cough
