Chapter 226 Obtaining the Marriage Certificate (1)
On the phone, Qiao Hongwei apologized to Lu Mingxuan: "Xiaoxuan, it's all Mom's fault. Come back, Mom wants to discuss something with you, which is about Weiwei's pregnancy. Do you think you can help her?"
From the perspective of a biological mother, Qiao Hongwei would do anything for Qiao Wei.
"Mom! What do you mean? You mean Qiao Wei is pregnant, and I have to be the one to take the fall? Why don't you let her find the father of the child?"
After saying that, Lu Mingxuan continued, "I went to the hospital two hours ago, and my father also told me that all of this was arranged by you."
Growing increasingly angry, Lu Mingxuan made his stance clear on the phone: "Mom, I'm not going home tonight. I'm staying with Grandpa."
Upon hearing that Lu Mingxuan had returned to Yushan, Qiao Hongwei had no choice but to give up. Her father-in-law had always been against her in every way, so she decided to think things through more carefully.
After ending the call, Qiao Hongwei looked at Lu Xinjun and said, "Xiao Xuan went to your dad's. Why don't you call him and ask him to persuade him to accept Weiwei?"
Seeing Lu Xinjun remain silent, Qiao Hongwei cried: "Xinjun, Weiwei is our daughter, you, as her father, must help her."
Lu Xinjun looked at Qiao Hongwei with a disappointed expression: "This child has been spoiled by your parents and you since he was a child."
Back then, she gave the child she had swapped with a boy to her brother and sister-in-law. Only Wang Hehua knew about this; even Qiao Zhennan was unaware that his granddaughter was born to his daughter.
“Xinjun, Weiwei was confused for a moment. She drank too much at the bar and had sex with someone. She didn’t mean it.”
Lu Xinjun only learned about this tonight. He roared at Qiao Hongwei, "Why didn't you tell me the truth sooner? If I had known that Qiao Wei was our daughter, I would have disciplined her severely. Look at the state she's in now!"
When Qiao Hongwei saw that Lu Xinjun didn't want to acknowledge his daughter, he suddenly knelt down with a thud: "I beg you, for the sake of our marriage, please forgive me and forgive Weiwei."
Thinking that Qiao Hongwei was doing all this for the Lu family, and seeing such a proud person kneeling in front of him, he gradually softened: "Get up, I'll think of a way."
After saying this, Lu Xinjun looked at his wife sternly: "Who is the man who slept with Weiwei?"
“He’s a good-for-nothing. I’ve already had someone find him, beat him up, and kicked him out of Jiangcheng.”
Lu Xinjun looked at Qiao Hongwei helplessly: "Is what you're doing now even useful? Qiao Wei is a girl, why don't you teach her about shame?"
No matter how harsh Lu Xinjun's words were, Qiao Hongwei didn't get angry. She had made up her mind that she didn't care if he hit her or scolded her; she wanted to keep Qiao Wei by her side.
"Your mother too, like mother, like daughter."
Qiao Hongwei's face darkened as if she had been called shameless upon hearing this, but she had to listen to whatever Lu Xinjun said today and could not disobey, otherwise her daughter would be doomed.
"Honey, please save Weiwei. My dad doesn't know about this yet. My mom said we should quietly cover it up so the child's reputation can be preserved."
Although Lu Xinjun was furious, upon hearing that Qiao Wei was his biological daughter, the scales tipped in Qiao Wei's favor between his adopted son and his daughter.
"You go back first, I'll figure out a way to handle this."
With Lu Xinjun's words, Qiao Wei felt relieved and left the place.
After leaving Baihe, Song Qiao didn't go home but returned to the company. She lay on the bed in the lounge, thinking about the scene when she saw Qiao Hongwei that night. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was impossible. She knew what kind of person Lu Mingxuan was.
If what Qiao Hongwei said is true, why didn't he marry Qiao Wei? Why is he still waiting for her at thirty?
This must have been done by Qiao Hongwei on purpose. Lu Xinjun is the hospital director, and that paternity test result is fake.
Thinking of this, Song Qiao quickly pulled Lu Mingxuan's phone number out of the blacklist, and then her phone rang.
Sure enough, Lu Mingxuan was getting anxious because he couldn't get through to her on the phone.
"Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with your phone?"
Song Qiao hurriedly said, "My phone is out of battery and it's turned off."
"You scared me to death! I thought something had happened to you!"
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Qiaoqiao, there's something I need to explain to you."
Song Qiao asked on the phone, "What's wrong? Tell me."
"I'm leaving you tonight because of my mother. She called me and said that Qiao Wei is pregnant and that the child is mine. That's why I went to the Qiao family."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao asked, "Is it yours or not?"
"No, the paternity test results were faked by my mother, and my father admitted it."
Hearing this, Song Qiao felt relieved and said with a sigh of relief, "I knew you wouldn't be that kind of person. Mingxuan, where are you now?"
“I am in Yushan now. I have doubts about my origins, so I came to Yushan to ask my grandfather if I am Qiao Hongwei’s biological son.”
Song Qiao only suspected that Qiao Hongwei had done these things for his niece from her maternal family. As for whether Lu Mingxuan was Lu Xinjun and Qiao Hongwei's biological daughter, she never thought about it.
"Aren't you overthinking it? After all, there's room for explanation for what your mother did. It's unreasonable for you to doubt your own parentage."
“Qiaoqiao, this isn’t the first time I’ve doubted my relationship with Qiao Hongwei. Several times I’ve thought that I might not be my mother’s child, and that they took me home from an orphanage.”
Lu Mingxuan sounded very sad, and Song Qiao felt sorry for him: "Mingxuan, your parents being strict with you doesn't mean you're not their biological child. Ask your grandfather what he said?"
"Grandpa said that my mother had a severe hemorrhage when she gave birth to me and almost lost her life. Perhaps that's why she resents me."
Lu Mingxuan's explanation was understood by Song Qiao.
"Don't overthink it. Since Grandpa said you are their child, then you must be."
The two chatted on the phone for a while, and gradually their moods improved.
"Mingxuan, what would you do if your parents forced you to marry Qiao Wei?"
"What can I do? Let it be! If they keep pressuring me, I will never have anything to do with the Qiao family again. If they still don't let me go, I'll call the police!"
After saying this, Song Qiao was silent for a while before saying, "Calling the police won't be good for your father either. You should try to communicate with them properly. Grandpa said when he left Jiangcheng that he would help us!"
The night in the mountains was bright. Lu Mingxuan's room was only drawn with a thin curtain. He looked at the moon outside the window and said, "Qiaoqiao, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
Song Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll prepare my ID card and household registration book. Call me when you come over tomorrow, and we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
After making the arrangements, the two lay on their beds, each lost in thought.
In Yunmiao's room, she sat on the bed, holding a photograph in her hand, lost in thought.
