Chapter 248 Demanding Child Support
Yunmiao smiled and said, "I'm his mother, how could he not recognize me?"
As the two were talking about this, Lu Mingxuan walked over: "Qiaoqiao, where's Mom?"
Upon hearing her son's voice, Yun Miao slowly turned her head. Lu Mingxuan's eyes widened: "Mom! Is it really you? You're so beautiful!"
Lu Mingxuan walked over, looked Yun Miao up and down, and put his hands on her shoulders: "My mom is so beautiful!"
"You brat, you think you're so good with words."
Song Qiao smiled and looked at Yun Miao: "How about it? I told you you looked good in this outfit."
Seeing this, the sales assistant seized the opportunity to recommend two outfits, but Lu Mingxuan waved his hand and said, "I'll buy them both!"
"Mingxuan, why are you buying so many? One outfit is enough. How about we buy one for your grandpa?"
Yunmiao was used to thinking of her master first when she went out.
Knowing that he would be attending Lu Mingxuan's wedding in a few days, she wanted to dress him up nicely.
"I'm going to buy Grandpa's things, and I'm going to buy yours too. I'm also going to buy some for Qiaoqiao later. Today's mission is to shop, shop, shop!"
Hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Yun Miao nodded: "Yes! Buy a few more outfits for Qiao Qiao, and also for Yao Yao."
Since Tong Yao didn't bring it today, Song Qiao quickly explained, "Mom, Lu Mingxuan specially ordered Yao Yao's little dress and my wedding dress from Paris, so don't worry."
"Wedding dresses and evening gowns alone are not enough, Xiao Xuan, buy two more for Qiao Qiao and Yao Yao."
Lu Mingxuan took out the card with five million and gestured, "Your money is with me, don't worry."
Yun Miao's eyes lit up with joy as she watched Lu Mingxuan have the sales assistant pack up the clothes that Song Qiao had chosen.
"Qiaoqiao, let's go to another counter and you can choose one."
The three of them went to another store, which was full of clothes for young girls. Lu Mingxuan took all the clothes that belonged to Song Qiao and then went to pay.
After swiping the money from the card, the saleswoman was as happy as if she had met a god of wealth: "Sir, let me help you put the clothes in your car."
"it is good!"
The saleswoman couldn't carry it all by herself, so she asked two colleagues for help. They carried the clothes they bought to Lu Mingxuan's car outside.
"Sir, there's no room in your trunk. Would you like to put it on the front seat?"
The saleswoman saw the trunk was full and asked...
Lu Mingxuan looked at the seats in the car; once the things were put in, there wasn't enough room for anyone to sit.
"Call your manager and ask him to send a car to take me home. Here is the invoice."
Lu Mingxuan took out the invoice in his hand and said.
"Okay, I'll call our manager right away."
At that moment, Lu Mingxuan opened the car door and Yun Miao and Song Qiao got into the car.
The saleswoman stood in the cold wind and called the mall manager. When the manager heard that someone had spent more than two million yuan in one go, he immediately agreed to send a car to deliver the goods to the Moon Palace.
Lu Mingxuan was driving halfway when Song Qiao saw a hair salon and asked him to stop.
"What?"
"Put me and Mom down. I'll take Mom to get her hair done today."
Song Qiao just wanted to dress Yun Miao up beautifully and make her feel confident.
"Okay, I'll go home first, put my things down, and then come back to pick you up."
Lu Mingxuan stopped the car, and Song Qiao and Yun Miao got out.
Half an hour after Lu Mingxuan returned, Yun Miao looked even more elegant after being made up by the makeup artist. Her hair was styled and she had light makeup on, making her look like she was in her thirties.
Song Qiao was stunningly beautiful, with her hair piled high in a bun, and a diamond necklace hanging from her swan-like neck, which Lu Mingxuan had bought for her the day before yesterday. Underneath her wool coat, a ten-centimeter-long chiffon skirt peeked out, making her look like an ethereal fairy.
When Song Qiao saw Lu Mingxuan enter, she stood up and twirled around: "How is it? Pretty, isn't it?"
"Pretty!"
Lu Mingxuan didn't even blink.
"And Mom, look how different she's become!"
Lu Mingxuan's gaze fell on Yun Miao. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that the Yun Miao of this morning and the Yun Miao of today were the same person?
"Honey, I can finally go shopping with my mother-in-law like the sisters I read about online."
Lu Mingxuan walked over and helped her pick up her coat: "Thank you, wife, let's go home."
While on the road, Lu Xinjun called, and Song Qiao answered for Lu Mingxuan, who was driving: "Dad!"
"When are you going to Song Qiao's parents' place? I'll pack up and come find you."
Song Qiao looked up at Lu Mingxuan and said, "Dad! How about we go to the hospital to pick you up? Wait for us, we'll call you when we get there."
Lu Xinjun postponed a surgery tonight so he could go see Song Qiao's parents.
"Okay! I'll wait for you."
At 6 p.m., after Lu Xinjun had booked a VIP banquet at the Jiangcheng Grand Hotel, his family went to the hospital to pick him up.
Qiao Wei lay in bed, exhausted by the end of the day, dealing with a series of problems that left the doctors and nurses feeling like they were falling apart. One minute she had a stomachache, which was later diagnosed as pain from her incision, and the next she had a headache, which was later diagnosed as nothing serious.
In the afternoon, she called Qiao Hongwei.
Qiao Hongwei answered the phone in his office: "Hello, Weiwei, are you feeling better?"
"Do you even care whether I live or die? You didn't raise me when I was born, and now that I'm sick, you don't care about me at all. Are you even human?"
Qiao Wei's words were filled with resentment and insults. Qiao Hongwei could only feel angry but dared not speak out, because she felt guilty towards her daughter.
When Lu Xinjun arrived at the ward, the doctors and nurses had already quietly left.
"Weiwei, does it still hurt?"
Qiao Wei knew that she had offended Lu Xinjun, and even though she was his biological daughter, she could forget about inheriting the Lu family's property.
"Dad, it doesn't hurt anymore, I feel much better."
Qiao Hongwei was shocked. Whether Lu Xinjun was in the ward or not, Qiao Wei seemed like a completely different person.
"Come out here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Hearing that Qiao Wei was no longer in pain, Lu Xinjun's face showed relief. He turned around and glanced at Qiao Hongwei, gesturing for her to go outside to talk.
As they entered the corridor, Lu Xinjun looked at Qiao Hongwei and said, "Yunmiao and I are going to see Song Qiao's parents tonight, so you don't need to go. Just stay here with Weiwei."
Upon hearing that Lu Xinjun and Yun Miao were going to meet Song Qiao's parents, her eyes widened in disbelief. "You're not allowed to go! I don't agree to you going with Yun Miao, and I don't agree to their marriage!"
"Qiao Hongwei, what's the use of your disagreement? They've already registered their marriage. Besides, it was your mother who stole Yunmiao's child back then. She didn't hold it against you because of your father. If you still want to be Xiaoxuan's mother, you'd better accept this reality."
Lu Xinjun's words completely enraged Qiao Hongwei: "Lu Mingxuan is someone I raised, so he has to listen to me. If I don't let him marry Song Qiao, he can't accept the marriage."
Lu Xinjun didn't want to argue with her, and looked at her with a fierce look in his eyes: "They've already registered their marriage, it's not up to you to decide."
"Fine, I don't have the final say. He's paid back everything he's done for me all these years, so I'm not going to bother with him anymore."
Qiao Hongwei forgot that Qiao Wei was still lying in the room and called out.
"Qiao Hongwei, Xiao Xuan has been using all the money he earned himself all these years."
Qiao Hongwei knew about Lu Mingxuan's research on new drugs, but she still asked, unwilling to admit defeat, "What about when he was little? How did he live without spending our money?"
"When have you ever taken care of him? That's my dad's job." What right do you have to ask him for money?
