Chapter 246 Meeting the In-Laws
Chapter 246 Meeting the In-Laws
This was the first time Lu Mingxuan had called her since he learned that his biological mother was Yun Miao.
Lu Mingxuan was making breakfast at the Moon Palace. Upstairs, Song Qiao hadn't gotten up yet. He heard his phone ringing on the dressing table, picked it up, saw it was his grandfather, and answered.
"grandfather!"
"Xiao Xuan, your mother took a bus to Jiangcheng. She's not familiar with the area. Could you drive over and pick her up?"
Upon hearing that Yun Miao had arrived in Jiangcheng, Lu Mingxuan quickly agreed, saying, "Grandpa, I'll go pick up my mom right away."
"Xiao Xuan, have a good wedding. Grandpa will cover all the expenses."
"No need, Grandpa, I have money."
Hearing this, Lu Wenguang felt a pang of sadness: "Do you really have to be so clear about money with Grandpa? You don't need Qiao Hongwei's money, but you have to use mine."
Lu Mingxuan recalled a scene from his childhood when he went to the mountains with his grandfather to dig for medicinal herbs. That time, he mischievously climbed onto a rock and fell down the mountain. His grandfather carried him down the mountain, treated his wounds, and stayed with him for two nights without closing his eyes.
“Grandpa, I know you love me. I have my own money. My dad may not have told you, but I have been having scientific research results put on the market. The house in the Moon Palace was bought with my own money.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenguang said on the phone, "I heard about this from your father. You are a good child, but you are my grandson, so your grandfather must pay for your wedding."
After saying this, Lu Wenguang continued, "You must take good care of your mother in the future. Your mother's life has not been easy, especially the years when you couldn't be found, she was frantic with worry."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my mother."
During the phone call, Lu Wenguang recounted the suffering and hardship Yun Miao had endured over the years in her search for her son.
"Xiao Xuan, your mother is your biggest worry. Now that we've found you, you must take good care of her."
"I know, Grandpa! I think it's about time, so I'm going to the station to pick up Mom."
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan ended the call with Lu Wenguang.
Lu Mingxuan drove to the station and saw Yun Miao standing there with her suitcase, eagerly waiting for him.
"mom!"
Lu Mingxuan stopped the car, opened the door and got out. His grandfather's phone was still in his ear, and he called out "Mom".
"Xiao Xuan!"
Tears streamed down Yunmiao's face. After thirty years, she had finally waited for her son to call her "Mom".
"It was all Mom's fault back then. If I hadn't been unconscious, you wouldn't have been taken away by someone." Yunmiao was still blaming herself.
Lu Mingxuan hugged Yun Miao.
Yun Miao suddenly remembered something and looked up at Lu Mingxuan: "A few days ago, I saw the couple who saved me back then near the hospital. They were also blaming themselves for what happened back then."
Lu Mingxuan looked surprised upon hearing this: "Where do they live?"
“They were in Cuijiazhuang. For years, I’ve thought of them as human traffickers. When I went to the police station to report them, I thought they were the ones who sold you. I never imagined it was all a misunderstanding. My mother wronged them.”
Yunmiao had hated them for thirty years. When she learned that the child hadn't been sold by them, but was lost because they were looking for breast milk, she wanted to thank them in person.
"Once Song Qiao and I have set a wedding date, how about we send them an invitation? You can come with me when we deliver the invitation, Mom! Let's go home first."
When Yunmiao heard that Lu Mingxuan had made arrangements, she nodded happily: "Okay! Mom will listen to you."
Lu Mingxuan put the suitcase in the trunk of the car and helped Yun Miao into the car.
On the way, Lu Mingxuan asked about his biological father, and Yun Miao told him.
"Your father's name is Xie Dan. He's from Xiliang. Thirty years ago, he fell on hard times and came to Yunjiazhuang, your mother's hometown..."
Yunmiao told Lu Mingxuan Xie Dan's story, and a look appeared in Yunmiao's eyes when she mentioned that man.
"His name is Xie Dan? Mom, do you have a picture of my dad?"
Lu Mingxuan wanted to see what his biological father looked like.
“There’s one in Mom’s suitcase.” Yunmiao sat in the back watching her son drive.
"Mom, don't you know whether Xie Dan is dead or alive?"
Why did Xie Dan abandon Yun Miao and disappear without a trace back then? Could he be dead?
"It's probably gone!"
When Xie Dan was mentioned, sadness appeared in Yun Miao's eyes. They were only husband and wife for half a year. After he left, Yun Miao never saw him again.
"Don't worry about your father. It's just that your mother doesn't want to remarry. Ever since you went missing, I've had even less interest in thinking about my own life. Your grandfather also advised me to remarry, but I refused."
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Yun Miao in the rearview mirror: "Let's not talk about the past. With your son around, I have nothing to fear."
Lu Mingxuan decided to treat Xie Dan as if she were dead, and from now on he would just focus on taking good care of his mother.
As the car entered the city, looking at the various cars on the road, Yunmian felt like she was in a dream. Originally, she thought that since her son could not be found, she would stay on the mountain with her master for the rest of her life. But what happened next changed her mind. At this moment, she realized that the prosperity of this big city was not so bad.
From then on, she would be wherever her son was, determined to make up for the thirty years she had spent with him.
After her son gets married, she will help take care of her grandson and enjoy the happiness of family life.
When the car arrived at the entrance of the Moon Palace, Lu Mingxuan took Yun Miao's luggage down and carried it inside.
Song Qiao didn't go to the company today; she stayed home to cook and wait for Yun Miao.
"Mom, you're here!"
Yunmiao's cry of "Mom!" brought her to tears of joy.
"Good child, Mom is here. From now on, our family will be together, and I will help you take care of Yao Yao."
Song Qiao didn't tell Yun Miao the truth about Yao Yao, she just nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom!"
“I heard from Xiaoxuan that your house is not far from where Yaoyao goes to school. Mom has decided that I will move into that house. I also heard that the house is close to your workplace, so you can come home for dinner after get off work. Mom is all set to wait for you to come home.”
Song Qiao hugged Yun Miao's arm. She had always dreamed of having such a happy family, and now she had one.
"Mom, come into the room first. I'll give you the key after dinner. Also, I've invited my parents to dinner tonight. You can sit down and have dinner together and get to know each other."
Yunmiao nodded happily: "I must thank my two in-laws properly for giving such a wonderful daughter to my son. We also need to discuss your wedding banquet with Xiaoxuan."
Lu Mingxuan walked behind, wondering: Should he invite Lu Xinjun to meet Song Qiao's parents? He was his father, who had raised him for thirty years.
Upon entering the living room, Yunmiao looked at the luxurious space with a sense of satisfaction in her eyes.
"Son, you're saying you bought this house yourself, or Xinjun helped you buy it?"
"Yes! I bought it with my own money, and my name is on the property certificate. Mom, you can rest assured and move in."
After Lu Mingxuan and Song Qiao helped Yun Miao sit down on either side, he sat down on the sofa opposite her.
"Mom! I'm meeting with Song Qiao's parents tonight to discuss the wedding. I wanted to tell Dad, since he's raised me like his own son for thirty years."
