Chapter 390 - Five Drunken Generals (2/2)

Even blinking was not an option for him. One blink and he felt like the scroll would disappear and everything will turn into a dream.

He stood from his seat and walks over to a long table that had been set up for the gifts.

Setting the scroll down, he struggle a gulp as he slowly begins to unfold it.

Unlike the time he did with Old Lu's scroll, this time he made sure to be extra cautious.

The scroll appeared to be half the width of Springtime Memories, but it was longer.

One stroke turned into two, then three.

Until Grandfather Ji had unfold the entire scroll, it was five strokes in total.

Each stroke painted a figure clothe in ancient attire riding their own horses with a expression like the group was on a worldly adventure.

At the bottom corner entitled, 'Five Drunken Generals.'

Staring at the painting, Grandfather Ji felt his eyes turn moist as memories of the past flood his mind like meteors in the sky.

Old Lu and Madam Lu's gift had reminded him of his wife, while Lu Tian's reminded him of his good friends.

”Twenty years ago, I remember seeing this painting at an auction with you. You were very interested in it but in the end, you did not buy it.”

From the side, Lu Tian's deep voice spoke as he stood next to the old man. He also stares at the painting with admire in his eyes.

”Today, I gift you this painting in return of your time raising me like your own.”

Hearing the boy's voice, a faint smile curl on Grandfather Ji's lip and he reach down to touch the painting.

Now he remembers.

This painting, the moment he saw it at the auction house, it reminded him of his four friends and himself.

Each person in the painting looked so free like nothing in the world could disturb their peace.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he looks at Lu Tian and nod his head with an approving expression.

”Thank you. I have indeed been trying to find this painting, but it was always a dead end. How did it end up in your hands?”

He couldn't help but ask. Although he looked like he was not interested in the piece anymore, he had been secretly searching for it. However, how did Lu Tian get his hands on it before him?

Hearing the old man, Lu Tian did not hide anything. He slowly turn to the guests and looks in the direction of his wife.

”Yue Ling knew someone who found it. I was there and bought it.”

Grandfather Ji turn his head to look at his granddaughter with a stunned expression. Of course it would be her. How could he have forgotten that there is Uncle Zhi by her side.

One word, and the man is able to get his hands on anything valuable in this world.

As Lu Tian's turn quickly came to an end, it was Lu Han's turn.

The youngest son in the Lu family held a wide grin on his face with a gift bag in hand. Walking up to the old man, he hands the gift towards Grandfather Ji.

”Old man Ji, I hope you will not only like my gift, but also love it. I specifically chose it just for you.”

Saying this, he leans in closer to the man and whispers.

”Don't worry, it will not disappoint you at all.”

He takes a step back and proudly held his chin high. The look on his face was like his gift was better than everyone else's. Even his parent's and Lu Tian's expensive gifts can't be compared to it at all.

Grandfather Ji looks at Lu Han and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. From young until now, he felt this boy was rather the strange one in the family.

However, who can blame him, his personality is exactly the same as Grandfather Lu when the man was younger.

Seeing the boy full of proudness and smiles, Grandfather Ji couldn't help but shake his head and smile with the boy.
