After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 182 Grandfather's Birthday

Upon hearing this, Tong Yao quickly replied, "Dad, I'm not suffering at all. I'm very happy to be with you all."

After hearing this, Tong Yujun, fearing that Song Qiao would be upset, quickly said, "Sister, Yao Yao isn't used to being away from us yet. She'll get used to it."

Song Qiao wasn't upset by Tong Yao's words. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'm so glad the child is so sensible. Brother Tong, sister-in-law, don't worry, Yao Yao will always be your daughter."

After saying goodbye to Tong Yujun and Wang Cuihua, Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan drove back to Jiangcheng. This time, Song Qiao refused to let Lu Mingxuan drive and insisted on driving herself.

Lu Mingxuan sat in the passenger seat and chatted with Song Qiao.

"Mingxuan, promise me: take good care of yourself. When you go back to your grandfather's house, be careful not to touch your wound."

Lu Mingxuan sat in the passenger seat and reached out to hold Song Qiao's hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Along the way, Song Qiao tried her best to persuade Lu Mingxuan not to fall out with his parents because of her, and to consider agreeing if his father insisted on sending him back to Jiangcheng Hospital.

Despite Song Qiao's constant attempts to persuade him, Lu Mingxuan knew in his heart that he would encounter many problems on his trip to his maternal grandparents' house. If his maternal grandparents put pressure on him, he might have no choice but to leave without even eating.

Lu Mingxuan is now fighting against ten enemies at once. His maternal grandparents, his mother, and his uncle and aunt are all pressuring him to be with Qiao Wei, which is why he wanted to bring Song Qiao today.

After thinking about it, I was afraid that Song Qiao would be mistreated if she went, so I decided against it.

The car soon arrived in Jiangcheng. Song Qiao drove to the entrance of the urban construction company, got out of the car, opened the car door, and let Lu Mingxuan get into the driver's seat.

Song Qiao gave Lu Mingxuan some instructions through the car door, and only entered the company gate after watching the car drive away.

When Song Qiao returned to the company, she discovered that Song Jianguo had been living at the company for the past few days, working day and night. Feeling sorry for him, she went to him, squatted down at his feet, and gently massaged his legs.

"Dad! I'm sorry, it's unfilial of me to ask you to stay at the company to work before you've fully recovered."

Song Jianguo stroked her hair: "Dad knows his own body. Oh! By the way, why didn't the child come back with you?"

Song Qiao gently tapped Song Jianguo's leg: "Her adoptive parents are in the hospital, and the child has to stay to take care of them, so she didn't come back with us."

Upon hearing this, Song Jianguo's face darkened: "Foolish! She's only five years old. You want her to stay in the hospital to take care of patients? Can't her adoptive parents find a caregiver?"

Seeing that Song Jianguo was angry, Song Qiao quickly explained, "Mingxuan said that Yaoyao's adoptive parents will be brought back to Jiangcheng Hospital tomorrow. Who will take care of her for one day? Don't worry, the child can come back with them tomorrow."

Mentioning Lu Mingxuan, Song Jianguo suddenly remembered to ask, "Where's Mingxuan? Why didn't he come back with you?"

When I called last night, Song Qiao said she was with Lu Mingxuan.

"Do his parents disapprove of your relationship?"

How could Song Jianguo bear to see his precious daughter suffer at the hands of others? If it really was his parents who disagreed, then the marriage would be off.

Even if Song Jianguo's daughter doesn't get married, he can still support her.

In his heart, his daughter was not only exceptionally beautiful, but also kind and understanding. If she hadn't been deceived by that scumbag Jiang Ming, she would definitely be one of the best among the many socialites in Jiangcheng.

"No, it's his maternal grandfather's birthday today," Song Qiao explained for Lu Mingxuan.

"Birthday?"

Since the two of them like each other, why didn't Lu Mingxuan take Song Qiao home for his grandfather's birthday? Song Jianguo looked at his daughter with suspicion in his eyes: "Didn't he invite you to his grandfather's birthday party? If he doesn't care, I think you two should just give up on your relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qiao quickly explained, "I was invited, but I didn't go. I was thinking that you and my mother are both not in good health, so I wanted to come back and visit you."

She didn't tell Song Jianguo about what happened to Lu Mingxuan in Wenzhen, for fear of worrying him.

"I see?"

Seeing the relief on Song Jianguo's face, Song Qiao looked up at him and smiled: "Dad, don't worry, he treats me very well."

After returning home, Lu Mingxuan changed his clothes and set off.

He had an idea for going to his maternal grandfather's house today: to talk to his grandfather about Song Qiao in advance and ask him to persuade his mother.

He also knew that his grandfather wanted him to marry Qiao Wei, but as long as he disagreed, his grandfather was a reasonable man and wouldn't force him.

After arriving at Qiao Zhennan's house, Lu Mingxuan parked his car at the gate and went inside carrying a century-old ginseng worth 100,000 yuan that he had bought from the mall.

Qiao Zhennan's family lived in a government-allocated general's house with a front and back yard, and the flowers and plants in the yard were regularly maintained by dedicated people.

When Lu Mingxuan went in, he saw that because it was Qiao Zhennan's birthday, there was a one-meter-tall cake box in the yard that had not yet been opened, and many relatives and friends had already arrived.

When Qiao Hongwei saw his son arrive, a smile appeared on his usually serious face: "Xiao Xuan, you're here."

"Mm." Lu Mingxuan nodded.

Looking around, I didn't see Lu Xinjun, but I did see Qiao Wei.

Before Qiao Wei could even approach him, he bypassed the people in the courtyard and walked towards Qiao Zhennan: "Grandpa! Happy birthday."

"Xiao Xuan, you're here!"

Qiao Zhennan was an unpretentious old man. He stretched out his arms and hugged him, saying, "The most handsome director of our Jiangcheng Hospital."

Standing next to Qiao Zhennan, Teng Jianjun, the retired vice mayor, immediately corrected Lu Mingxuan: "Old Qiao, your grandson is quite something! He's young and promising, just like you when you were young!"

All eyes in the courtyard turned to Lu Mingxuan; he immediately became the center of attention.

Lu Mingxuan looked at Teng Jianjun and bowed, saying, "Grandpa Teng, you flatter me."

He then handed the century-old ginseng to Qiao Zhennan, saying, "This ginseng is for you!"

Qiao Zhennan took it and looked at it, then said with approval, "It must be expensive, right?"

"As long as you like it, that's fine."

For someone like Qiao Zhennan, it's not about the quantity of things, but at least whether they suit his taste.

This ginseng plant has vigorous roots and a slightly curved neck, indicating that it grew in the mountains.

"Okay! Xiao Xuan, thank you."

Since Lu Mingxuan entered the room, Qiao Wei's eyes had never left him. Now, after looking at him, she went to Qiao Zhennan's side and whispered, "Auntie, my brother is here. You must put in a good word for me today. He hasn't spoken to me for a long time. He blocked my calls and blocked me on WeChat. I only did this because I listened to you and kept an eye on him."

Qiao Hongwei patted Qiao Wei on the shoulder: "Don't worry, your aunt will help you."

Upon receiving Qiao Hongwei's approval, Qiao Wei revealed a subtle smile.

When Lu Xinjun arrived, everyone had already entered the room, which was full of people. Most of them stood up when they saw him enter.

Only Qiao Zhennan and his few older friends remained seated on the sofa. Upon seeing people enter, they greeted them, "Xinjun's here?"

Everyone else stood up and greeted him, "Dean Lu is here!"

Qiao Hongwei greeted her husband with a broad smile as he entered the room: "Xinjun, why are you so late?"

"A patient came to the hospital, causing a delay!"
