Chapter 184 An Interlude at the Birthday Party
"Who gave you the right to treat Song Qiao like that?"
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "I'll listen to my aunt. She told me to keep an eye on you, and then we'll see..."
"Stop right there!" Lu Mingxuan raised his hand to stop her: "If you cause trouble for Song Qiao again in the future, I won't be polite to you."
Qiao Wei never expected that her carefully planned scheme would fail like this, and she was unwilling to accept it.
"Brother Mingxuan, what's so good about that Song Qiao? She's been married and slept with, now she's just a used woman."
"Snapped!"
The sound of a slap coming from the bedroom startled everyone in the living room. They all looked at each other in bewilderment: "What was that noise?"
Qiao Wei covered her face and didn't scream. She knew who was outside, but looked at Lu Mingxuan with shock in her eyes: "You hit me for an unrelated outsider?"
“An unrelated outsider? Song Qiao is my girlfriend, listen to me clearly.”
Lu Mingxuan could not tolerate Qiao Wei insulting Song Qiao and sternly reminded her.
"Your girlfriend? If I'm not mistaken, she's still married, right? The vice president of Shenzhen Hospital is an accomplice in someone else's marriage, a mistress. Aren't you ashamed of my aunt and uncle if word gets out?"
Lu Mingxuan looked at Qiao Wei: "What does it matter to you whether I lose face or not? Just remember this: you are not allowed to get even half a step closer to Song Qiao in the future, or you'll be sorry!"
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan left the bedroom, leaving Qiao Wei alone. She picked up Qiao Zhennan's things, wanting to smash them but not daring to. In anger, she kicked the door, which bounced back and hit her forehead. She felt a sharp pain and touched it, finding that it was bleeding.
Qiao Wei suddenly had an idea, walked out to Qiao Hongwei's side and called out "Auntie".
"Weiwei, what happened to your forehead?"
"My cousin called it!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Hongwei turned to look at the guests in the house and whispered to comfort Qiao Wei, "Today is your grandfather's birthday. Don't hold it against your brother. Wait until the guests leave and see how I deal with him."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Wei had a sudden inspiration and said, "Auntie, it's nothing really. It's just that I mentioned to my cousin that Song Qiao is still married, and he got upset. I shouldn't have brought it up."
Qiao Hongwei gritted his teeth in anger when he heard that Lu Mingxuan was still seeing Song Qiao. Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Qiao Wei whispered, "Auntie, I have an idea, wait a moment..."
Qiao Hongwei turned to look at Qiao Wei: "Will this work?"
“Why not? He doesn’t want to go back to the hospital and be with Song Qiao every day. My uncle can’t do anything about it. This method will make him listen to your uncle and you obediently.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Hongwei nodded and looked at Qiao Wei: "But you can't hurt my son."
"How could that be? No matter what, he's my cousin."
Hearing Qiao Wei's words, Qiao Hongwei nodded: "Okay! I'll call him out in a bit."
The guests at Old Master Qiao's birthday banquet were all social celebrities, a fact that both Qiao Hongwei and Lu Xinjun were aware of.
"Xiao Xuan, come out here for a moment, Mom has something to ask you."
At the dining table, Lu Mingxuan sat next to Qiao Zhennan, helping his grandfather blow out the candles, putting his birthday hat on, and singing the birthday song. Then, Qiao Hongwei came to his side and called out to him.
"What is it? Can't we wait until the banquet is over?"
"Come out for a bit."
Seeing how stubborn Qiao Hongwei was, Lu Mingxuan assumed that something urgent had come up and left the restaurant.
"Please come to the guest room for a moment."
Lu Mingxuan followed Qiao Hongwei to the guest room.
Qiao Hongwei looked at the sofa in the room: "Sit down, Mom wants to talk to you about Song Qiao. I agreed to ask her to come to A Liu Hotel tonight. I want to meet her."
When Lu Mingxuan heard that Qiao Hongwei wanted to see Song Qiao, he was initially a little suspicious, but after thinking about it, he realized that this step had to be taken, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call her now."
Lu Mingxuan immediately called Song Qiao, who was at the hospital with Tao Meiling, telling her a nursery rhyme.
Seeing the phone ringing on the bedside table, she picked it up and saw it was Lu Mingxuan calling, so she answered it.
"Hey! Mingxuan."
Lu Mingxuan looked back at Qiao Hongwei while holding his phone: "Qiao Qiao, my mom agreed to our deal. She wants to meet you tonight to talk about us."
When Song Qiao heard that Qiao Hongwei had agreed to her relationship with Lu Mingxuan, she happily agreed: "Okay! I'll come to see you tonight."
After ending the call, Song Qiao saw the location sent by Lu Mingxuan on her phone and looked at Tao Meiling: "Mom, Mingxuan's mother has agreed to us being together."
Hearing this, Tao Meiling happily said, "You don't need to stay here with me. Go back and change your clothes and get ready. Don't keep people waiting."
"Mom, it's only one o'clock in the afternoon, it's still early, I'll stay with you a little longer."
Song Qiao gave the caregiver a day off so she could go home and check on the children, as she was worried about leaving Tao Meiling alone in the hospital.
Joe's house.
In the guest room, Qiao Hongwei watched Lu Mingxuan finish his call and asked, "Song Qiao agreed?"
"I agreed. I told her it would be six o'clock in the evening, so don't be late."
"Okay! I won't be late."
After two months of stalemate between Lu Mingxuan and Qiao Hongwei, she finally gave in, which made Lu Mingxuan very happy.
Just as Lu Mingxuan was about to leave the guest room, Qiao Wei came in with two glasses of juice.
"Auntie, you're here too? Let me go out and get you another drink."
Seeing Qiao Wei getting ready to leave, Qiao Hongwei stood up and said, "You and your brother drink, I don't drink this stuff, it's too sweet."
Lu Mingxuan ignored Qiao Wei's offer, glanced at the juice in the plate, and said, "I'm not drinking it either. I'm leaving."
"Mingxuan, Weiwei just told me about the fight between you two. She said she knows she was wrong and wants to apologize to you. Since she brought you juice, just drink it. After you drink it, you two can still be good siblings."
Qiao Hongwei had already agreed to his relationship with Song Qiao, so he couldn't refuse her. He picked up the juice in his glass, glanced at Qiao Wei, and said, "I'll drink it. As long as you don't cause trouble for Song Qiao in the future, I'll forgive you."
Qiao Wei, holding a glass of juice, looked at Lu Mingxuan and said, "Brother, it won't happen again!"
Just then, Lu Xinjun's voice came from inside the restaurant: "Hongwei, where have you been? I need to talk to you."
Hearing this, Qiao Hongwei turned around and looked at Lu Mingxuan and Qiao Wei: "It's good that you two siblings have talked things out. I'll go out and see if your dad is calling me."
"Auntie, you should go now," Qiao Wei replied on behalf of Lu Mingxuan.
Just as Lu Mingxuan was about to follow Qiao Hongwei out of the guest room, he felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
After seeing the guests off, when Lu Xinjun went to look for his son, Qiao Hongwei said, "He's had a bit too much to drink. Let him wait a bit before leaving. We'll go home first."
Lu Xinjun originally wanted to ask his son about returning to work at the hospital, but after hearing that he had drunk too much, he thought about it and realized that he was at home, so he didn't take it to heart and left the Qiao family with Song Qiao.
Today, Qiao Zhennan also drank because of his 76th birthday celebration. After dinner, Qiao Hongyong helped him into the bedroom to sleep.
Qiao Wei looked at Lu Mingxuan on the bed, took off her clothes, took out her phone to record a video, looked at it after recording, and lay back on the bed with satisfaction, pretending to be asleep.
