Chapter 255 The Dean's Daughter (4)
Now that she's the dean's daughter, she's not like before, having to be mindful of others' opinions.
"Let's go!"
The two arrived at the car by the gate. Lu Xinjun looked at Qiao Wei and opened the car door.
"Dad! Where are we going to eat?"
Lu Xinjun opened the car door: "You choose, Dad will go wherever you want."
Lu Xinjun also wanted to tell Qiao Wei about his divorce from Qiao Hongwei; some things couldn't be delayed any longer.
"Dad, I want to go eat hot pot."
Snowy days and hot pot are a perfect match, and Song Qiao thought so too.
After she and Lu Mingxuan got out of the car, she turned around and reached out her hand to Tong Yao: "Baby, we've gotten out of the car. We're at the hot pot restaurant."
After getting out of the car, Tong Yao looked up and saw snowflakes falling from the sky. She exclaimed in surprise, "Mom and Dad, it's snowing! Can I build a snowman now?"
"Of course! When the snow is thick by tomorrow morning, we can build a snowman."
As the three of them were walking inside, Lu Xinjun stopped his car at the entrance and looked up to see two adults and a child in front of him.
In order to prevent Qiao Wei from disturbing Lu Mingxuan and Song Qiao, he decided to go to a different hot pot restaurant.
"Weiwei, this hot pot restaurant isn't as good as the one I went to before. How about we go somewhere else?"
At this moment, Qiao Wei had already seen Lu Mingxuan. Her eyes were fixed on him and Song Qiao. She shook her head and said, "Let's go to this place. You're not worried that I'll disturb the family of three, are you?"
Lu Xinjun looked at Qiao Wei with a troubled expression: "Your brother is already married, you should wish them well."
Qiao Wei looked coldly at Lu Xinjun: "He's still my brother, we're family. You're not going to make me never see him again, are you?"
After saying this, Qiao Wei stormed into the hot pot restaurant.
With Song Qiao holding Tong Yao's hand, Lu Mingxuan pointed to the spot ahead and said, "Let's go over there."
"Okay! Yao Yao, let's go."
Tong Yao wore a white bubble dress with a pink down jacket over it today. She is already pretty, and her appearance attracted everyone's attention when she went in.
"Look! That little girl is so pretty."
"Yes, Mom and Dad are good-looking too."
"They really are a family with top-notch looks."
"That's why they say genes are so important. Honey, do you think if we have a child, will she be as cute and beautiful as that little girl?"
"Definitely!"
A couple sat at the table, watching Tong Yao pass by with her parents, their eyes filled with envy.
Lu Xinjun followed Qiao Wei into the hot pot restaurant. Seeing her head straight for Lu Mingxuan, he quickly stopped her, saying, "Let's not go over and disturb their family. Let's find a place to sit down. Dad has something important to talk to you about."
Qiao Wei, pulled back by Lu Xinjun, looked at the family of three in front of her with hatred in her eyes. When she turned back, she said nonchalantly, "Okay! Let's find a place to sit down."
Qiao Wei knew that if she insisted on going over, Lu Xinjun would definitely stop her. She should find a place to sit down first.
"Lu Mingxuan, you can only be mine. If I can't have you, I'd rather destroy you."
When Qiao Wei turned her gaze back from Lu Mingxuan, she asked, "Dad! What do you want to tell me?"
"Let's eat first, and we can talk while we eat."
Lu Xinjun wanted to keep Qiao Wei calm and prevent her from disturbing Lu Mingxuan and Qiao Wei.
The hot pot restaurant was all cubicles, and the place where Lu Mingxuan and Qiao Wei were sitting was blocking the view of the three of them.
"Waiter, bring the clear broth hot pot."
Lu Xinjun looked at the approaching waiter and said something. The waiter replied, "Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
After Lu Mingxuan helped Tong Yao take off her down jacket, he hung it up together with Song Qiao's.
"Qiaoqiao, how about a hot pot with two broths?"
"it is good!"
Because Tong Yao doesn't eat spicy food, the hot pot was divided into two portions, which the waiter brought out quickly.
Seeing the pot bubbling and steaming, Lu Mingxuan poured the meat and vegetables in: "Yaoyao, it'll be ready to eat in a little while."
"Ok."
The hot pot restaurant was warm, and Tong Yao, who had taken off her coat, looked as cute as Snow White. Lu Xinjun could see her from where he was sitting with his head slightly turned. He glanced at her but didn't call out to her, though his eyes still showed his affection.
"Dad! Just tell me, what do you want to say to me?"
Qiao Wei was in a low mood. Whenever she saw Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan together, she lost her spirits.
"I'm getting a divorce from your mother. I'm letting you know in advance."
When Qiao Wei heard that Lu Xinjun wanted to divorce Qiao Hongwei, she was stunned: "Why?"
She just returned to her family, and Lu Xinjun wants a divorce. Has he considered her feelings?
"The divorce is not because of you, nor because of Mingxuan. It's because your mother and I had a difference of opinion. Don't worry, even if we're divorced, you and Mingxuan will always be my children."
Qiao Wei seemed to slump in her seat, and it took her a while to look up at Lu Xinjun: "Does my brother know about your divorce?"
“I know! He was there when I mentioned this to your mother that day.”
"What did he say?" Qiao Wei's disappointment grew deeper and deeper.
"He respects my opinion."
Lu Xinjun said this because he understood Qiao Wei's personality. Lu Mingxuan had a great influence on her, and since her brother had agreed, his sister shouldn't object.
"I see!"
Qiao Wei mechanically ate the food that Lu Xinjun put on her plate; she found the meal tasteless.
"Dad! I'm going to the restroom."
Qiao Wei put down her chopsticks and looked up at Lu Xinjun.
"Okay, go ahead."
Lu Xinjun agreed and watched Qiao Wei get up and leave.
Qiao Wei walked towards the bathroom, then looked back at Lu Mingxuan and Song Qiao. The family was happily eating hot pot, their faces beaming with smiles.
Lu Mingxuan kept putting food on Song Qiao and Tong Yao's plates, which stung her eyes.
After she came out of the restroom, she walked directly toward the family of three.
"Brother, come here, I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing Qiao Wei's voice, Lu Mingxuan and Song Qiao both looked up.
"Qiao Wei? What brings you here?" Lu Mingxuan asked.
"I came with my dad!"
Two days ago, Lu Mingxuan stood in the ward for less than two minutes. Qiao Wei originally wanted to have a good chat with him, but a patient's family member called him, so he left.
Where is Dad?
Song Qiao said nothing, her gaze shifting from Qiao Wei to Lu Xinjun.
"Yaoyao, Grandpa's here. Let's go say hello."
Hearing that Qiao Wei had something to say to Lu Mingxuan, Song Qiao stood up, took Tong Yao's hand, and left the dining table.
"what's up?"
Lu Mingxuan leaned back and looked at her calmly.
He knew Qiao Wei wasn't giving up, but he was already married to Song Qiao, and he thought that one day she would accept this fact.
"Your parents want a divorce, and you agreed to it?"
Lu Mingxuan didn't expect Qiao Wei to ask this question. Looking at her, he said, "I respect their opinion. An unhappy marriage is painful for both parties."
"But have you ever thought about how I feel? You, on the other hand, see everything and think it all. Do you even care about me, your sister, or about this family?"
Qiao Wei's voice was loud and immediately attracted the attention of the people eating in the hot pot restaurant. Song Qiao had just sat down when she had to stand up and say, "Dad, I'm going to go check on the two of them. You keep an eye on Yao Yao."
