From Chapter 113 onwards, it's all one family.
Lu Mingxuan's words became increasingly outrageous. Song Qiao looked out the car window and saw that it was already pitch black, so she asked, "Mingxuan, where are you taking my parents?"
"When we go to my grandfather's house, do you remember me telling you that my grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"
Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan: "Do your parents know about this?"
"I don't know! My parents are very busy and rarely go back home, so there's no need to tell them about this."
Song Qiao knew that the last person she could tell this to was Lu Mingxuan's father.
Lu Xinjun, the director of Jiangcheng Hospital, knew that if his son not only failed to send Song Jianguo away but also brought him home, he would never forgive him.
Where does your grandfather live? In the countryside?
"Up in the mountain!"
Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Song Qiao pictured the old man in her mind: wearing reading glasses, looking at people through the lenses, and looking down at the prescription with great focus.
How is your grandfather's health?
If the old man is in poor health, Song Jianguo's visit will definitely cause him trouble.
“My grandfather is in good health; sometimes he even goes up the mountain to collect herbs himself.”
Is it convenient for my dad to stay there?
In the homes of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, there are usually not many rooms besides the pharmacy, because patients take the medicine home to brew.
"The houses are all empty, so it's very convenient for your uncle and aunt to visit!"
Hearing this, Song Qiao finally calmed down. She had come in such a hurry that she hadn't brought any gifts.
Lu Mingxuan seemed to sense Song Qiao's unease and quickly said, "My grandfather is very approachable, you don't need to think too much about it. However, I promised him one thing."
Seeing that there were no streetlights ahead, Lu Mingxuan turned on his car headlights, illuminating the road brightly. Song Qiao glanced at him and asked, "What's up?"
“I promised him that I would bring him a granddaughter-in-law tonight, and I also said that the one who was sick was my future father-in-law.”
Song Qiao turned to look at Tao Meiling, who was focused on Song Jianguo, and asked in a low voice, "Who told you to say that?"
Lu Mingxuan glanced at the rearview mirror above his head: "There's nothing I can do. My grandpa is getting old, and every time I go home, he asks me this question. Today, for Uncle Song's sake, I agreed to his request. How about you just make do with being my girlfriend for one night tonight?"
Song Qiao glared angrily, then looked back and said, "My mother is still here, don't talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, my grandfather won't ask about us in front of your mother. I've already told him everything. We can still talk about us now, as long as only he knows."
Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan with a troubled expression: "Does it have to be said this way?"
"Let's make him happy just this once, considering his advanced age."
What if my mom finds out and gives me away?
Lu Mingxuan looked at her: "Auntie won't know. I'll tell Grandpa that we've just started and we need to keep it a secret."
Lu Mingxuan had already made up his mind. This time, taking advantage of Song Qiao's visit, he would ask his grandfather for help to prevent Qiao Hongwei from giving him Qiao Wei again, and to stop Lu Xinjun from mentioning Tong Tong again.
Seeing that Song Qiao remained silent, Lu Mingxuan gave her one last look: "It's settled then, you'll cooperate with me."
"All right!"
Seeing in the rearview mirror that Tao Meiling had noticed them, Song Qiao could only agree quietly.
The headlights illuminated the road ahead brightly, and finally, at an intersection, the car turned and drove up a hillside.
On the quiet mountain road, only the soft rustling sound of Lu Mingxuan's wheels hitting the ground could be heard.
"Mingxuan, is this the mountain village you mentioned?"
Lu Mingxuan turned and glanced at her: "It's not exactly a mountain village, because only my grandfather and Aunt Yun live here."
Hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Song Qiao asked curiously, "What did you say? There are only two people living here?"
No wonder this road is so quiet, so quiet that only the trees on the mountain can be heard breathing.
"arrive!"
After Lu Mingxuan said this, the car drove to a square and stopped next to a house.
Jiu Xun opened the car door and saw two villas sitting there, which looked very dreamy under the lights, making her feel like she was in a fairyland.
Looking up, a tall lamp is shining brightly on this plaza, which is entirely paved with asphalt.
At the foot of the mountain, a dreamlike villa stood there. Lu Mingxuan turned to look at Tao Meiling and said, "Auntie, this is my grandfather's house. Uncle stayed here to recuperate. It's very quiet here."
Tao Meiling also noticed that this was a villa built by a wealthy family for retirement. Upon hearing that it was Grandpa Lu Mingxuan here, she felt a little embarrassed: "Won't your uncle's behavior disturb your grandfather?"
"No, Grandpa does like quiet, but he also likes healing the sick and saving lives."
Upon hearing this, Tao Meiling opened the car door and stepped out. The fresh air filled her lungs, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly a wonderful place."
Thinking that Song Jianguo could recuperate here, she quickly beckoned to Song Qiao: "Come here!"
Before Song Qiao could finish admiring the night view, she turned back to look at Tao Meiling and asked, "Mom! What are you trying to say?"
"This is where Lu Mingxuan's grandfather lives. Your father is here for medical treatment. You must transfer some money to Lu Mingxuan's grandfather, otherwise I won't feel at ease staying here."
Song Qiao watched Lu Mingxuan's retreating figure as he went to knock on the door and said, "Don't worry, just stay here with my dad. I'll take care of the money and personnel."
"must?"
"must!"
Just as the two were talking, the door opened.
A very elegant woman appeared at the gate, her eyes lighting up with surprise when she saw Lu Mingxuan: "Xiao Xuan, you're back?"
"I'm back!"
"The person has been brought over?"
Lu Mingxuan turned around and looked at Song Qiao and Tao Meiling standing under the light, and whispered to Yun Miao, "Auntie, do you see that? That's my girlfriend, her name is Song Qiao, and the one next to her is her mother. Her father is in the car too."
Upon hearing this, Yunmiao hurriedly went over to greet the two of them: "You've come! Come in quickly."
Upon seeing this, Lu Mingxuan quickly introduced, "Auntie, her name is Song Qiao, and this is Aunt Tao!"
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao and Tao Meiling quickly said, "Sorry to bother you!"
Lu Mingxuan quickly introduced her to Song Qiao and Tao Meiling: "This is my Aunt Yun."
"Hello, Auntie!"
Having agreed to Lu Mingxuan's request, Song Qiao also called him "Auntie".
"Hey! This girl is really pretty. Xiao Xuan, aren't there still patients in the car? Hurry up and drive the car in."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan hurriedly returned to his car, and Song Qiao followed him. After getting into the car, she glanced at him and asked, "You have an aunt?"
"No, she's my grandfather's apprentice. She's always taken care of my grandfather. I've called her aunt since I was little. Her name is Yunmiao."
As Lu Mingxuan spoke, he slowly drove the car into the open gate.
Upon arriving in the courtyard, Lu Mingxuan's grandfather was already waiting there, leaning on his cane. Seeing him, the people in the car hurriedly got out.
"This must be Mr. Lu?" Tao Meiling took the initiative to go up and greet him.
"Yes! I am Lu Wenguang, and you are Song Qiao's mother?"
Upon hearing that the old man knew his daughter's name, Tao Meiling quickly said, "I am Song Qiao's mother. My husband is here today. I apologize for bothering you!"
"Don't mention it. We're family from now on. Why say you're bothering us?"
"What?" Tao Meiling looked bewildered.
"Grandpa, I've brought Uncle Song over."
Lu Mingxuan took the opportunity to change the subject.
"Okay! Hurry up and let him into the room."
Lu Wenguang looked at Song Qiao and seized the opportunity to ask, "This must be Song Qiao, right?"
When Song Qiao heard Lu Mingxuan's grandfather call her name, she quickly went over and said, "Grandpa, it's me, Song Qiao. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
