Chapter 189 Returning to My Mother's Home to Settle Accounts
Just as Qiao Hongwei was questioning Lu Mingxuan, Dr. Chen Wei walked in.
"Madam, you've arrived?"
"How is Mingxuan?" Qiao Hongwei asked, looking at his son's attending physician.
Dr. Chen, with his hands in his pockets, approached Lu Mingxuan's bedside and said, "The test results show that Vice President Lu's blood contains traces of sleeping pills, and he also has knife wounds."
Qiao Hongwei's gaze fell on Lu Mingxuan: "Where did you get the knife wound on your back?"
Lu Mingxuan glanced at her: "Don't ask about the knife wound. I just want to know what Qiao Wei did to me after I lost consciousness?"
On his way to the hospital, Qiao Hongwei called Meng Dong, who was delivering sleeping pills to the hospital, and asked him to keep it a secret and not tell anyone that he had delivered the pills to her parents' house today. Meng Dong agreed.
When her son didn't answer but instead asked, "I don't know. When I left, you and Weiwei were drinking juice in the room. Your father called me, and then I left."
To make up for the harm he had caused his son, Qiao Hongwei gave his phone to Lu Mingxuan.
Seeing him lower his head to dial a number, Qiao Hongwei reminded him, "Son, your father doesn't approve of your relationship with Song Qiao. You should think it over carefully."
Lu Mingxuan was too lazy to argue with her anymore, so he simply dialed Song Qiao's number.
Song Qiao answered the phone on the other end: "Hello!"
"Qiaoqiao, I am Mingxuan."
Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's voice, Song Qiao exclaimed in surprise, "Mingxuan, how are you now?"
"I'm in the hospital, I'm fine now."
Song Qiao originally wanted to tell Lu Mingxuan about the video, but she didn't have time to say it; she just wanted to see him now.
"Wait for me, I'm going to the hospital right away."
How is Lu Mingxuan's back injury? She remembered seeing him lying flat on the bed when she went to the Qiao family. She wondered if the wound would bleed again and wanted to see him.
"Okay! I'm in room 210 on the sixth floor."
After Lu Mingxuan said this, the two ended the call.
"Mom, you still haven't told me how I got to the hospital? Dr. Chen said I have diazepam in my system. Is it because of that glass of juice? And where did you buy the medicine?"
When Qiao Hongwei heard his son ask this, he quickly said, "I'll go back to your maternal grandparents' house right now and ask Qiao Wei if she was the one who put the drug in her mouth."
"Do you even need to ask? It happened at my maternal grandfather's house that day."
Lu Mingxuan was furious at Qiao Hongwei's attempt to cover up the truth.
"Don't worry, Mom will give you an explanation for this." After saying this, Qiao Hongwei told Chen Wei and left the ward.
After leaving the hospital, Qiao Hongwei drove back to her parents' home.
An hour later, Lu Xinjun drove back to Yushan. He parked his car at the gate, pushed open the gate, and went inside.
"Brother, you're back?"
In the courtyard, Yunmiao was cleaning. Because Lu Wenguang didn't like having servants at home, she was always the one doing the cleaning.
"Um, where's my dad?"
Lu Xinjun's tone softened as he spoke to Yun Miao. Over the years, she had become like a younger sister to him, and they shared a deep sibling bond.
Lu Xinjun has always been grateful to Yunmiao for taking care of his father.
"Master is waiting for you in the room. Would you like to leave now or come in and sit for a while?"
Lu Wenguang had already dressed and was waiting for Lu Xinjun. Yun Miao knew he was worried about Lu Mingxuan, so she looked at him and asked.
Seeing Yunmiao put down the broom, Lu Xinjun said, "You don't need to go, I'll go."
Having not been home for almost half a year, Lu Xinjun wanted to go in and take a look. He pushed open the living room door, passing over the artificial hill and potted plants in the yard.
"Why are you only getting back now?"
Lu Wenguang sat on the sofa, leaning on his cane, and looked at Lu Xinjun with a stern expression, asking.
"I was delayed by traffic!"
After saying this, before Lu Wenguang could speak, Lu Xinjun said again, "Dad! I already said Xiaoxuan is fine, so why don't you not go?"
Hearing this, Lu Wenguang looked up at his son and said, "What? Did my going to Jiangcheng get in your way? Don't worry, I don't care to go to your house. I'm going there this time for Mingxuan and Song Qiao's sake. I think I should find an opportunity to have a meal with her parents first and settle things between them."
This time, Qiao Wei's actions greatly disappointed Lu Wenguang, who said that he couldn't accept such a granddaughter-in-law.
“Dad, don’t worry about Mingxuan’s affairs. I will discuss it with him. You know that Song Qiao is a second-time bride, and she and Xiaoxuan are not suitable for each other.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenguang slammed his cane on the floor tiles: "So what if it's a second marriage? I've met Song Qiao. She's well-educated and reasonable, much better than Qiao Wei. Besides, Xiao Xuan likes her."
Given his father's temperament, there was no room for negotiation once he decided to do something, so he had no choice but to help Lu Wenguang into his car.
"Master, would you like me to go with you?"
Master has never left Yushan in the past few years, and Miao Yun is afraid that he will not be used to going out.
"Xiaoyun, no need, you stay home, I'm fine."
After hearing what the master said, he replied, "Then you must be careful."
"it is good!"
Lu Wenguang spoke to Yun Miao with exceptional kindness.
After giving his instructions, Lu Wenguang looked at his son and said, "Let's go!"
Watching the car descend the mountain, Yunmiao stood at the gate, watching until the car disappeared from sight before going home.
After returning to his parents' home, Qiao Hongwei went to confront Qiao Wei immediately.
Pushing open the door, she saw Qiao Zhennan and Wang Hehua watching TV and asked impatiently, "Mom and Dad, where's Qiao Wei?"
Looking at her daughter's angry expression, Wang Hehua asked, "What do you want with Weiwei?"
Qiao Zhennan glanced at Qiao Hongwei and gestured, "Let's sit down and talk."
"Tell me about Qiao Wei first," Qiao Hongwei said, his patience wearing thin.
Qiao Zhennan looked up at Wang Hehua: "Go to the guest room and call Weiwei out."
Wang Hehua was puzzled. Hadn't her daughter agreed to this? Why was she still so angry?
"Okay! You wait here, I'll go get her."
At this moment, Qiao Wei was looking at the photos on her phone. Seeing Lu Mingxuan lying in the same bed with her, she was overjoyed: "Brother Mingxuan, you can't escape this time."
Hearing Qiao Hongwei's voice in the living room, she was just about to get out of bed when Wang Hehua walked in.
"grandmother!"
Qiao Wei looked at Wang Hehua with a pitiful expression, knowing that this old lady was a stepping stone for her to achieve her goal.
"Get up, your aunt is here and waiting for you in the living room. She wants you to come over."
Upon hearing that Qiao Hongwei had arrived, Qiao Wei hurriedly deleted the photos from her phone. At the same time, she was thinking: Song Qiao's phone was smashed by her, and she denied taking the photos.
Qiao Wei wanted to test the waters first, so she asked, "Isn't my aunt supposed to be in a meeting this afternoon? What's she coming back for?"
"Your aunt seems angry. Tell me the truth, does your aunt know what you did to Xiaoxuan?"
Qiao Wei said calmly, "My aunt had someone bring the medicine to me, Grandma. I'm not lying."
“Since you didn’t lie, Grandma will stand up for you. Let’s go, let’s go see your aunt.”
After saying this, the two left the guest room.
Qiao Wei entered the living room and immediately saw Qiao Hongwei looking at her with a contrite expression. She called out "Auntie" in a pitiful voice.
"Don't call me aunt. You put so many sleeping pills in my juice. Are you trying to kill my son?"
After saying this, Qiao Hongwei raised his hand and slapped Qiao Wei: "Slap!"
"Utterly stupid! How could my brother and sister-in-law have adopted such a shameless girl like you?"
