Chapter 239 Biological Mother
Chapter 239 Biological Mother
Lu Xinjun slapped her twice more: "I'm hitting you! I'm hitting you for your disrespect, for your viciousness and recklessness, and for your ingratitude. If Yunmiao hadn't taken care of my dad for you and me all these years, would we have been able to work in peace?"
Lu Xinjun pointed at Qiao Hongwei: "Over the years, Yunmiao has taken care of not only our father but also Xiaoxuan. How could you say such things to slander her? Do you have any conscience?"
Two handprints appeared on Qiao Hongwei's cheeks. She took a few steps back, dodging the nanmu sofa behind her, and pointed at Lu Xinjun: "How dare you hit me? And you want a divorce? Have you forgotten how my dad helped you when you built the hospital?"
Lu Xinjun looked at her coldly: "I remember clearly how your father helped me, but you should be able to see clearly how I've treated your parents over the years."
"Also, you have no say in Song Qiao and her son's marriage. Now that they are husband and wife, I will definitely help them hold a grand wedding banquet."
Lu Mingxuan stood to the side, holding Song Qiao's shoulders tightly, quietly watching the two of them. As their son, he knew everything.
After Lu Xinjun finished his accusations, disappointment filled his eyes: "You've framed my grandfather and aunt like this, you're really disappointing."
"Shut up! All these years of pampering you have been for nothing. It seems you've never considered me family."
After leaving those words, Qiao Hongwei turned and walked towards the door. Before he could finish, Yun Miao's voice rang out: "Wait! Wait a minute, there's a score I still need to settle with you."
All eyes turned to Yun Miao. She was acting strangely today. Normally, she would have advised everyone to be family and to value harmony, but today she didn't want to let Qiao Hongwei leave.
"What debt? What do I owe you? You've been living and eating at the Lu family's house all these years, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet."
Yunmiao smiled when she heard Qiao Hongwei's words: "Then let's settle this properly. Thirty years ago, your mother took my son away from the hospital. Should I settle this score with your mother or with you?"
Upon hearing Yun Miao's words, Lu Wenguang plopped down on the sofa behind him, while Lu Xinjun stared at Yun Miao in astonishment, as if he knew what she was going to say.
Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan stared in surprise, their mouths agape. Lu Mingxuan looked at Yun Miao and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean by that?"
Lu Xinjun closed his eyes in pain. Qiao Hongwei stopped and turned to look at Yun Miao: "Stop accusing me. My mother took your son? Where is your son? I don't know anything about him."
As Qiao Hongwei's panicked gaze swept over Lu Mingxuan, Yun Miao watched her calmly.
"You know perfectly well whether it's true or not. Back then, you gave birth to a daughter, and your mother took my son away to consolidate your position in the Lu family. At the time, I was in a daze, and by the time I recovered, you were all gone."
Lu Mingxuan stood up at some point, and looking at Yun Miao, he swayed and asked, "Auntie, who is that boy you're talking about?"
Seeing Lu Mingxuan's condition, Song Qiao quickly supported him and looked up at him, asking, "Mingxuan, are you alright?"
Lu Mingxuan shook his head, sat down again next to Lu Wenguang, and looked at him, asking, "Grandpa, tell me what exactly happened?"
Lu Wenguang grabbed his hand: "You are Yunmiao's son, the little boy from back then."
Yun Miao stared intently at Qiao Hongwei: "If I'm not mistaken, your daughter is Qiao Wei, right?"
Qiao Hongwei seemed boneless, taking a few steps back. His previous combative demeanor vanished, replaced by a look of dejection. But he immediately regained his arrogant air: "Yun Miao, this isn't true. You're making this up, aren't you?"
If it's true, then has Yun Miao been an undercover agent in the Lu family all these years, waiting for Lu Mingxuan to become the dean so they can finally recognize each other? Her move is like cutting off the fuel supply from under the pot—how ruthless!
"Yunmiao, I advise you to calm down. You have to take responsibility for your words."
Yun Miao took out a paternity test report from her person and stuffed it into Qiao Hongwei's arms: "Is this the evidence?"
Qiao Hongwei took the report from his hand, then threw it on the ground as if he had been burned: "How is this possible?"
Lu Xinjun and Lu Mingxuan went to pick up the test report on the ground at almost the same time. In the end, it fell into Lu Xinjun's hands, and he was stunned when he saw the results.
Lu Mingxuan then took it and looked at it. His eyes were empty, and he shook his head vigorously. This sudden result caught him off guard and made him lose his sense of direction.
He never expected that the "aunt" he had been calling for years was actually his mother. What about his father?
And Grandpa, he really favored boys over girls, and agreed to let Qiao Hongwei take him away from Yunmiao.
"Xiao Xuan, it's not what you think..."
Before Lu Wenguang could finish speaking, Lu Mingxuan pulled Song Qiao up: "Qiao Qiao, let's go with Yao Yao."
Tong Yao secretly hid in the study, and she understood everything that happened in the living room. When she heard Lu Mingxuan say that he was leaving, she hurriedly ran out: "Dad, Mom, let's go!"
Yun Miao stood there, stunned, watching Lu Mingxuan pick up Tong Yao and the three of them walk to the door. She cried out, "Xiao Xuan, what will Mom do if you leave?"
Lu Mingxuan turned to look at her, tears streaming down his face involuntarily: "I will come back for you."
"Xiao Xuan, you can't leave. You have to stay and we need to explain things clearly."
Qiao Hongwei chased after her; she was terrified, afraid that she would soon lose her son.
"Mom! Let Mingxuan calm down, we're leaving now."
Song Qiao answered Qiao Hongwei's question. She felt sorry for Lu Mingxuan, whose parents, with whom he had lived for thirty years, were not his biological parents. And his grandfather was also there. His face was full of disappointment.
Once inside the courtyard, Song Qiao whispered a reminder: "Let Yao Yao get down and walk by herself."
Lu Mingxuan put the nursery rhyme down and looked down at Song Qiao: "Now that you know I'm not Lu Xinjun's son, do you regret it?"
Song Qiao shook her head: "My husband is a promising prospect. He doesn't need to rely on anyone and he can still have a bright future."
In the guest room, Lu Wenguang looked at Qiao Hongwei with a furious expression: "I never thought your mother would be so confused. Luckily, you switched with Yunmiao's son. If it were someone else's, you would be going in for a meal this time."
Qiao Hongwei was no longer arrogant, but when she looked at Lu Wenguang, the resentment in her eyes reappeared: "When did Yunmiao start to suspect this? Did she get your support?"
Without thinking, Lu Wenguang said, "You and your mother have both let Yunmiao down. Do you know how much hardship she has endured all these years in her search for her child?"
Qiao Hongwei turned to look at Lu Xinjun, who remained silent: "You knew about this all along?"
"I only found out at your mother's house. Qiao Hongwei, let's get a divorce."
Thinking of all this, Lu Xinjun hurriedly called Lu Mingxuan. As soon as the call connected, he said in front of everyone, "Xiao Xuan, give me the household registration book. I'm going to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now to divorce your mother."
