Chapter 236 Welfare Home
Chapter 236 Welfare Home
Yushan Villa.
Lu Wenguang was overjoyed about Lu Mingxuan getting his marriage certificate when he called out to Yunmiao in the kitchen, and she hurried over.
"Yunmiao, Xiaoxuan and Song Qiao got their marriage certificate today. They just called and said they'll be back tonight. Make some nice food for them."
"Understood, Master!"
No one was happier than Yunmiao. Her son was getting married, and as his mother-in-law, she was able to witness their wedding. This was more blissful than anything else.
For the past thirty years, she has thought about her son every moment. Knowing that he is so successful and has found a girl he likes, she is happy for them.
Yunmiao took out the stored ingredients from the refrigerator and started getting busy.
Lu Wenguang called Lu Xinjun, and the other end answered: "Dad!"
"Take Hongwei home tonight, I need to talk to you about something."
Lu Xinjun didn't know why Lu Wenguang wanted to see him, so he hurriedly asked, "What is it? I have to be on duty tonight. Since Xiaoxuan isn't coming to the hospital, all the work is mine, and I can't leave."
He was about to divorce Qiao Hongwei, and Lu Xinjun didn't want to bring her home.
"We'll talk about it when you get back. Anyway, this is very important. Put your work aside and come back."
Lu Wenguang didn't say what it was about, he just wanted his son and daughter-in-law to go home.
"Alright then, I'll ask Hongwei. If she's alright, we'll go back."
After ending the call with Lu Wenguang, Lu Xinjun called Qiao Hongwei.
"Hey!"
Qiao Hongwei was troubled by Lu Xinjun's decision to divorce her when she received his call, and she felt a glimmer of hope.
Are you free tonight? Dad called and asked me to come home.
Qiao Hongwei asked habitually, "Why are you going home? It's so late."
"If you're busy, I'll just go home by myself."
In the past, Lu Xinjun would have definitely persuaded her to go home with him, his words filled with pleading. However, since they were about to get a divorce, he felt there was no need for that anymore.
I'll have to talk to the old man about this sooner or later, so I might as well go home and say it tonight.
"I'm free, I'll go home with you."
Qiao Hongwei was frightened by Lu Xinjun's tone of giving up and quickly agreed.
"Okay! I'll come pick you up later."
The two didn't have much interaction. Usually, Lu Xinjun would stay at the hospital to work overtime, or Qiao Hongwei would stay at her parents' home. They rarely went back to Yushan together.
Going back together this time is a good opportunity for Qiao Hongwei to get back together.
Lu Mingxuan waited for Song Qiao at the urban construction company. After finishing their work, the two walked out of the office together.
"Call your parents and tell them we got our marriage certificate, and also tell them we're staying in Yushan tonight."
After Lu Mingxuan reminded her, Song Qiao realized that she had been too careless and had even forgotten this. Now that they had registered their marriage, her parents should be the first to know. How could she have overlooked this?
"I'll call them right now."
After saying this, Song Qiao returned to her office and dialed Tao Meiling's number on her phone.
"Hey! Qiaoqiao, come back for dinner with Mingxuan tonight. Xiaocui made several dishes, all of which are your favorites."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao quickly said, "Mom! I'm going to Mingxuan's grandpa's place tonight, so I won't go back. I'll go back tomorrow."
After saying that, Song Qiao continued, "Mom! I have good news for you. Mingxuan and I got our marriage certificate."
Upon hearing this, Tao Meiling burst into tears: "Qiaoqiao, you must be happy."
"I will!"
After saying this, Song Qiao asked Tao Meiling to give the phone to Song Jianguo: "Mom, give the phone to Dad. I want to tell him this good news in person."
"Okay! Okay!! I'll go to the study to find your father right away."
Sitting in her wheelchair, Tao Meiling called out to Song Jianguo, "Old Song, my daughter is calling."
Song Jianguo's legs are back to normal, although he can't stand for long periods of time, but at least he can walk to the living room without any problem.
"coming!"
Song Jianguo agreed and walked out of the study, leaning on his cane.
In the living room, Tao Meiling called out into her phone, "Qiaoqiao and Mingxuan went to get their marriage certificate today. They said they wanted to tell you the good news in person."
Hearing this, Song Jianguo quickened his pace and walked over to pick up the phone that Tao Meiling handed him: "Qiaoqiao, are you and Mingxuan coming back for dinner tonight?"
"Dad, I'm going back to Yushan with Mingxuan tonight. Let's go home tomorrow."
"That's good. After all, Grandpa Lu only has one grandson. He'll be overjoyed to know you've registered your marriage."
After a few simple words, the father and son ended the call. For Song Qiao, those few words were enough; his daughter's happiness was the most important thing.
Sure enough, Song Jianguo put down his phone and looked at his wife happily: "Our Qiaoqiao has had it so tough. I hope she has a happy marriage."
"Aren't you worried about Mingxuan? We've seen it all recently, and besides, they're high school classmates. Don't worry."
"No, I need to get ready and go to work tomorrow. Let Qiaoqiao and Mingxuan go out and have some fun."
Watching Song Jianguo turn and leave, Tao Meiling called out, "Come back!"
Song Jianguo turned around and looked at his wife with curiosity: "Old woman, what's the matter? Why the order?"
"Why didn't you check on Yao Yao? Why don't we bring the child to live with us?"
Tao Meiling thinks about nursery rhymes and her granddaughter all the time.
"Don't make things worse. The child must be going to Yushan with Qiaoqiao. She can't be absent from her parents' wedding."
Tao Meiling thought about it and agreed. She looked up at her husband and said, "This child is too kind and filial. He doesn't trust his adoptive parents and insists on staying with them. But it's tough on Qiaoqiao."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Song Jianguo quickly reminded her, "You're already worried about how well-behaved and sensible the child is? If he were like Jiang Xiaoran, wouldn't the child be ruined?"
When Jiang Xiaoran was mentioned, the elderly couple discussed her affairs for a while.
At that moment, an elderly couple at the welfare home were searching for a child among a group of children.
Jiang Xiaoran came out holding a banana in her hand: "Mom and Dad, can you take me with you?"
Ever since the two of them came in, the children have been calling them Grandpa and Grandma, but Jiang Xiaoran calls them Mom and Dad. The old lady stared at her with wide eyes and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ranran!"
Since arriving at the welfare home, Jiang Xiaoran has not had a single good day. Her anxiety caused by her dependence on carbonated drinks makes her live in pain every day.
The mothers at the welfare home were very worried when they saw her like this, so they took her to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that the only hope was to wean her off the drugs.
So the mothers locked her in her room alone, and she was given a diet prescribed by the doctor, consisting of rice, steamed buns, and vegetables every day.
For the first three days, Jiang Xiaoran didn't eat. After three days of hunger, she couldn't take it anymore. She no longer minded eating steamed buns and rice, and vegetables tasted even better than the meat she used to eat.
In front of the mothers, she dared not act as recklessly as before. She tried her best to please the people at the orphanage so that they would think of her when good things happened.
