Chapter 229 Background
When Lu Mingxuan returned to his parents' house, no one was home. He knew where the household registration book was kept, so he went over and opened the drawer, only to find that the book was missing.
After much consideration, Lu Mingxuan called Qiao Hongwei.
"Hey! Mom, where's our family's household registration booklet?"
"Household registration booklet? What do you need it for?"
"I want to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Song Qiao to register our marriage."
Upon hearing his son's words, Qiao Hongwei left with only one sentence: "I didn't see it!"
Then he hung up the phone.
Lu Mingxuan called Lu Xinjun again, but when he dialed his number, the phone was busy.
Lu Mingxuan regretted telling Qiao Hongwei about getting a marriage certificate with Song Qiao. Lu Xinjun's phone was busy; his mother must be telling his father about it.
Just as Lu Mingxuan was leaving home to go to the hospital, Lu Xinjun called.
"Hey, Dad!"
"I heard from your mother that you're going to get a marriage certificate with Song Qiao?"
"Yes! We're planning to get married."
"Isn't it too hasty for you to get your marriage certificate now? The parents of both families haven't even met yet."
Lu Mingxuan knew that Lu Xinjun's words were in line with local customs, but he was well aware that Qiao Hongwei had a prejudice against Song Qiao. The best arrangement for this matter was to act first and report later, but he still inadvertently told the truth.
"Dad! Marriage is between Song Qiao and me. As for the meeting between our parents, I can arrange it after we get our marriage certificate."
Lu Mingxuan's words gave Lu Xinjun a handle to use against him: "Do you still consider your mother and me as your parents? You didn't get our consent for such a big thing as getting married."
Ever since Lu Xinjun learned that Qiao Wei was his biological daughter, his inner peace has leaned towards his daughter's side.
"Dad, don't you know why I got the marriage certificate first? My mom colluded with Qiao Wei to blackmail me by using pregnancy. How can you blame me for that?"
After saying that, Lu Mingxuan continued, "Dad, do you know where the household registration book is? If you do, tell me."
He had already discussed it with Qiao Hongwei on the phone. When Lu Xinjun heard this, he said, "Come to the hospital. I'll talk to your mother about the household registration book."
Lu Mingxuan knew that Lu Xinjun was more reasonable than Qiao Hongwei, so he happily agreed, took the keys, and left the house.
After arriving at Jiangcheng Hospital, Lu Mingxuan went directly to the dean's office.
When he reached the door of the dean's office, he heard Qiao Hongwei and Lu Xinjun talking inside: "I think I was dragged into this child's life. Such a big thing as getting married, and he didn't even discuss it with me. He just took his household registration book and went to get the marriage certificate?"
Song Qiao's provocation made Qiao Hongwei dislike his daughter-in-law even more.
Lu Mingxuan stopped and hesitated for a moment, but finally knocked on the door and went in. Looking at Qiao Hongwei on the sofa, he asked, "Mom, you're here too?"
Qiao Hongwei gave him a cold look: "You still remember I'm your mother?"
"Mom, you will always be my mom, that's an unchangeable fact." Grandpa said that Qiao Hongwei almost lost her life when she gave birth to him, so he couldn't deny her as his mother.
"Don't say that. I'm not your mother. Song Qiao's mother is your mother."
Qiao Hongwei's indifferent attitude infuriated Lu Mingxuan: "Since you don't want to acknowledge me as your son, then don't."
Since Lu Mingxuan returned to Yushan and learned that Qiao Hongwei was his biological mother, he no longer doubted his identity.
"You won't admit it? You think you've grown up and become independent?"
Qiao Hongwei looked furious. Lu Xinjun glanced at him and said, "Alright, don't fight every time you meet. You are mother and son, not enemies."
Upon hearing her husband's words, Qiao Hongwei said, "He treats me like an enemy now. He didn't even tell me about such a big thing as getting married, and he just took the household registration book to register."
Hearing his wife's words, Lu Xinjun quickly said, "Xiao Xuan, your mother is right. It's such a big decision to get married without discussing it with your parents. That's very wrong of you. Apologize to your mother!"
The most urgent thing is to get the marriage certificate with Song Qiao as soon as possible. After thinking for a moment, Lu Mingxuan said, "Mom! I didn't think it through. I apologize to you!"
"No need for an apology. I do not agree to Song Qiao becoming my daughter-in-law."
After saying this, Qiao Hongwei turned his head to the side, looking indifferent.
"Do you agree to have anyone become your daughter-in-law?"
Lu Mingxuan suppressed his anger and asked.
“Marry Weiwei. She’s your sister. Now that she’s in such a big situation, you, as her older brother, should help her.”
Lu Mingxuan understood. He looked at Qiao Hongwei with a firm resolve and said, "Even if I never get married in this life, I will never marry Qiao Wei. I can't help you with this."
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan turned and walked towards the office door.
"Lu Mingxuan, come back here right now!"
Seeing Lu Mingxuan leave in a huff, Lu Xinjun shouted angrily.
Originally, Lu Mingxuan had placed all his hopes on Lu Xinjun, but after this trip, he realized that he had been wrong.
Lu Mingxuan left without looking back, leaving behind Qiao Hongwei's angry shouts.
After leaving the hospital, Lu Mingxuan parked his car on the side of the road and stayed there alone for a long time until Song Qiao called.
"Hey! Jojo."
"Have you received your household registration booklet? If so, go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
They had agreed last night to meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau today, but Lu Mingxuan went to the company this morning. In his opinion, it was fortunate that Song Qiao didn't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, otherwise she would have been so disappointed if she couldn't wait for him.
"Qiaoqiao, my mom hid the household registration book."
After saying that, Lu Mingxuan continued, "Don't worry, I will definitely take out the household registration book."
Song Qiao originally thought that as long as Lu Mingxuan got the household registration book, they could register their marriage smoothly. However, since they didn't have the household registration book, they could only wait.
"Mingxuan, no rush. We can go after you get your household registration book."
Song Qiao understood that it wasn't just about a household registration book; it was about her and his wedding not being approved by her parents.
After the two ended the call, Lu Mingxuan drove back home. The only solution was to find it himself.
In the hospital, Qiao Hongwei looked at Lu Xinjun in front of him and said, "What should we do? It's about time we couldn't hide Weiwei's pregnancy anymore."
"Let's find Song Qiao. If she backs down, things will be much easier."
"I contacted her, and her answer was that it was no use."
Qiao Hongwei got angry just thinking about it.
"I want to talk to her!"
Yushan, early in the morning, Yunmian sat on the sofa in the living room, lost in thought.
"Yunmiao, what's wrong?"
Lu Wenguang looked at her with concern and asked.
"Master, I'm thinking about that child. I wonder if he's still alive in this world?"
In the past, Lu Wenguang had inquired about the child, but there was no trace of him, and the couple from back then had also disappeared.
"Yunmiao, are you missing your child?"
"Um, Master, I have a question for you. Which hospital was Xiao Xuan born in when he was a child?"
Last night, Lu Mingxuan asked him about this, and now Yun Miao is asking again. Lu Wenguang looked at her and said, "He was born in Huaxia Hospital. Your teacher's wife was there at the time. When the doctor brought him out, he said it was a boy."
Yun swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She wanted to go to the hospital to see if she could find out anything about Lu Mingxuan.
