Observing eyes stares at the gift bag in Grandfather Ji’s hand. Seeing how the old man is taking his sweet time reaching inside, some guests couldn’t help but want to go over and help the old man.

Even Old Lu and Madam Lu stare in enthusiasm as they were curious to know what their youngest son had bought.

Old Lu had told his son not to forget and the boy promised that his gift would not be disappointing.

Grandfather Ji’s hand that reached into the bag finally returns to the surface.

In his had was a dark material that slightly glisten under the lights inside the ballroom.

"Eh? What is that? It’s such an odd item."

"That... That’s a jacket! A leather jacket!"

A young fashion enthusiast gasps when he saw the gift in Grandfather Ji’s hand. Though he is quite far in the back, he knows fashion when he sees it. As a matter of fact, he has one almost similar to it!

Hearing the young man’s sudden words, everyone’s enthusiasm towards the gift was quickly crushed into pieces like a broken vase.

Old Lu and Madam Lu had gifted Springtime Memories, while Lu Tian gifted Five Drunken Generals.

Both gifts were highly valuable artifacts as each one were the only to exist in the world.

However, never would anyone anticipated that the second young master of the Lu family would present the old man a gift like this.

While everyone ponder in their own thoughts and whispers, Grandfather Ji stares at the leather jacket. Holding it in one hand his other hand holding the bag slowly loosen its grip.

*Thud—

The bag falls onto the ground as his face slowly turns red and everyone’s attention return to the old man.

"Oh my God. General Ji’s face turned red. Is he angry to receive a gift like this?"

"If someone gave me a useless gift like this, I would be disappointed too."

"Such a shame. Madam Lu, Old Lu and Lu Tian gave such remarkable gifts. Lu Han’s gift is quite disappointing."

Hearing the whispers, Grandfather Ji shoots glare at the crowd. Though he did not spoke a word, his facial expression was enough to warn them.

Of course, everyone quickly zipped their mouths. The old man had already given a warning when Ji Chu Hua left. No one here wants to be a second example.

Seeing that everyone had quiet down, Grandfather Ji looks back at the leather jacket.

It was a style more suited for younger men, but he sighs inside as a faint smile curl on his lip and looks at Lu Han.

"You picked this for me?"

Standing in place without a care about what anyone has to say, Lu Han held both his hands behind his back.

When he heard Grandfather Ji’s question, he smiles widely with upside down crescent eyes and nod his head.

"Mm, I did. Do you like it?"

Grandfather Ji stares at Lu Han as the smile on his face disappears. Thinking of something, he looks back at the leather jacket and an even wider smile curls on his lip.

Before anyone could react, a heartily chuckle sounds from his mouth.

"You chose a great gift for me, boy."

At those words, everyone’s jaw dropped to the floor. They had thought the old man was disappointed or angry, however, it was neither.

He was actually happy with the gift!

Lu Han’s eyes lit up and he smiles with his teeth in view. Reaching into his pocket, he takes his phone out and scrolls through his photo album.

Stopping at a photo, he strides happily towards Grandfather Ji. He stuck his arm holding the phone out with the screen facing the old man.

"See, I got the idea from this photo."

Grandfather Ji stares at the photo and he was dumbfounded. His eyes rotated in three directions making a triangle.

Lu Han, phone, jacket, Lu Han, phone, jacket. Then it repeats again and again until he started seeing stars circling above his head.

He inhales a mouthful of air to steady the dizzy feeling. Until he calmed down, he laughs with his head tilt back.

"Indeed the same. Thank you boy."

Knowing that the old man liked his gift, Lu Han smiles satisfyingly. He politely gestures a bow.

"I’m glad that you like my gift."

He straightens his posture and takes a step back as he turns around to walk away.

"Oh yea, I almost forgot."

Just as he took a step back, he spins around in smooth circle and stops with his back facing Grandfather Ji.

Both his arms lift and his hands curl into a fist. His thumbs point towards his shoulders in gesture to his back.

With his head turn to the left so the old man can partially see his face, he smiles.

"I added a little be~ dazzle~ to the jacket."

Saying this, he lowers his hands and walks toward the crowd to join his family.

"...."

Grandfather Ji stares at the boy with slightly arch brows. Even he doesn’t know which was more accurate, laughing of crying.

The boy’s sudden move was very cheeky that it gave him goosebumps he never felt before, but...

For some odd reason, he also felt the boy looked cool for a brief moment. Of course, he cannot say this aloud or else everyone would bleed to death.

Brushing these feelings away, he thought about Lu Han’s words.

Raising the jacket higher with both hands, he turns it around so he could see the back part.

However, what he saw dumbfounded him more than ever.

Printed in large bold characters were the words, ’Mister General’.

The word Mister was in white while the word General was in red. As if it was not enough, under the word general were small words that read, ’The best of the best.’

The corners of his mouth twitch without stopping and he stares at Lu Han who had walked away.

Walking to join his family, Lu Han’s chin raised high into the sky and his nose grew exceptionally long.

Stopping between his older brother and mother, he fold his arms over his chest and spins a circle.

Of course, through his spin, he didn’t forget to send a wink to both people as he stops to look at the crowd.

"Neither of your gifts can top mine."

His expression beamed with proudness as one can see a shiny rainbow shine over his head.

Lu Tian: "..."

Madam Lu: "..."

Madam Lu stares at her son with a bitter expression. She wanted to twist his ear but could only hold herself back. There were too many people here.

It’s not like she cares if anyone sees, but she doesn’t want her son to be embarrass for the rest of his life.

Taking a deep breath, she calms herself and narrow her eyes at her youngest son.

"What photo did you get the idea from?"

Hearing her words, Old Lu turn to look at his son. He was also curious to know which photo it was that made Grandfather Ji laugh until his stomach hurt.

Seeing the curiousness in his father and mother’s face, Lu Han snickers evilly. He takes his phone out and shows them the same photo he showed Grandfather Ji.

"I said I was going to get the perfect gift and I did."

Old Lu and Madam Lu stares at the photo then their son. Both individuals were at a utter loss for words. It was like every word they ever knew had been tossed out of their brain.

Feeling like an entire day had gone by, Madam Lu lift her hand and massage her temple, while Old Lu pinch the space between his brows.

Throwing a glance at the photo again, both people could only shake their head.

Lu Han shrug his shoulders at his parent’s reaction and turn his phone to look at the photo.

The photo was a very old black and white photo that had some fadedness to it. One look and one can estimate that the photo was taken fifty or less years ago.

However, this photo wasn’t just any photo Lu Han found on the internet.

It was a photo that had been framed and hung inside both the Lu family house and Ji Mansion.

In the photo stood five young and handsome men. They were all posing against what looked to be a brick wall with one hand in their own pockets. Though they dressed in different styles, they had one thing in common and that was the same black leather jacket.

Staring at the photo, he sighs a smile and looks at the old man who is the main attention of the night.

He had his friend recreate the same jacket in the photo and gifted it to the old man for old memories.

Looking back at the photo in his phone, he sighs again. Never would he have thought these old men were such good looking men when they were younger.

Especially Grandfather Ji. The man was very handsome when he was younger. It was no wonder Grandmother Ji, who was known for her beauty married the man.
