Chapter 196 He's luckier than his father when it comes to food.
Upon hearing her son's words, Zhang Dalan quickly explained, "I didn't mean it. You know what that brat Ranran is like. She went into my room, found all my money, and gave it all to her mother."
Jiang Ming also knew that Zhao Xiaoya's purpose in going back this time was to send Zhang Dalan back to her hometown. Regardless of whether Jiang Xiaoran was injured or not, she had to find a reason to send her back to her hometown.
"Mom, you know my situation right now. I can only rely on Zhao Xiaoya to get me out of this mess. Please come home. I promise you, I'll come home to pick you up once I've sorted things out here."
Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Zhang Dalan asked pitifully, "Zhao Xiaoya took all my money. What am I going to eat and use when I get home? Besides, there's no coal to light the stove in the middle of winter. I'll freeze to death when I get home!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Dalan said again, "Son, you should talk to Zhao Xiaoya properly. The New Year is coming soon. Can I leave after the New Year?"
Jiang Ming left no room for negotiation on the phone: "Mom! If you don't want your son to go to jail, then come home."
After saying this, Jiang Ming ended the call. Zhang Dalan sat on the sofa, her eyes filled with tears: "If I had known it would end like this, I shouldn't have listened to Zhao Xiaoya and kicked Song Qiao out."
"Auntie, your daughter-in-law has already given me the fare. Hurry up and go, don't waste my time."
Zhang Dalan turned around and looked at the driver standing at the door: "What's the rush? I'll go pack my clothes."
Zhang Dalan went to the bedroom and silently began to pack her clothes on the bed.
Zhao Xiaoya stayed with Jiang Xiaoran at the hospital, watching her eat a hamburger, fall asleep while receiving an IV drip, and then walked out of the ward with her phone in her hand.
She found the number she had saved for ten years in the hallway and dialed it. The other end answered.
"Ali, I'll be waiting for you at the mirage tonight!"
The man opposite him asked in surprise, "You've finally figured it out?"
"I've figured it out. As long as you give me what I want, I'll give you anything."
"Okay! My little wildcat."
Hearing the name "Little Wildcat" that she had heard ten years ago still frightened Zhao Xiaoya, but she had no other choice as she was at her wit's end. She just smiled and said, "Ali, thank you for remembering the name Little Wildcat."
"Of course I remember. I've lived for over forty years, and only you, this little wildcat, have ever scratched me with your claws. It makes my heart itch. If I hadn't fallen into your trap ten years ago and agreed to let you leave, you might still be the little wildcat by my side."
Zhao Xiaoya smiled bitterly, but her tone was joyful: "Brother Ali, then let this little wildcat scratch you every night."
Zhao Xiaoya stood in the corridor, joking and whispering with the person opposite her.
Jiangcheng Hospital.
After preparing the meal, Song Qiao drove to the hospital. After parking the car, she carried the thermos to the ward building.
Arriving at Lu Mingxuan's room on the sixth floor via elevator, I pushed open the door and saw Lu Wenguang sitting in a chair in front of the hospital bed.
"Grandpa, I'm here."
Lu Wenguang saw Song Qiao smile: "I heard from Xiao Xuan that you went home to cook."
Looking down at the thermos in her hand, he said, "Grandpa is going to have a good meal today and try your cooking."
Song Qiao agreed, put the lunchbox on the coffee table, and helped Lu Wenguang over: "I made chicken soup and stir-fried a few side dishes. Grandpa, please sit down, I'll help Mingxuan down."
Lu Mingxuan had just finished his injection and was pressing the injection site with one hand when he heard Song Qiao's words. He quickly said, "I don't need you to help me. It's my back that's injured, not my leg!"
As she spoke, she got out of bed and sat down on the sofa opposite Lu Wenguang.
"Mmm, it smells so good!" Lu Mingxuan said, sniffing the container as Song Qiao opened it.
"Eat more if it smells good. You need to replenish your body. You've lost a lot of blood from your wound these past two days."
Song Qiao opened the lid of the thermos and took out the dishes one by one, saying, "Look! These are all side dishes."
Finally, he took out the black chicken soup from the thermos and took out two bowls from another bag: "Grandpa! Let me serve you some."
The black chicken soup was beautifully presented, with a few goji berries floating on top. The thick, white broth looked very appetizing.
"Grandpa, this is yours." He served Lu Wenguang a bowl first.
"Mingxuan, this is yours!" She placed the bowl next to Lu Mingxuan and handed him a spoon.
Lu Wenguang took a sip of chicken soup, nodded, and looked at Lu Mingxuan: "You're luckier than your father."
Song Qiao understood what Lu Wenguang meant and smiled, "Grandpa, if you like my cooking, Mingxuan and I will often cook for you in the future."
Lu Wenguang picked up some greens and tasted them: "They're really good."
Then he looked up at Song Qiao and said, "Where's your bowl? Sit down and eat with us."
Song Qiao smiled and said, "Grandpa, I've already eaten at home. This is for you and Mingxuan."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan quickly said, "It's alright if you've already eaten. Have some more with me and Grandpa."
Lu Mingxuan was worried that she would be so busy at home that she wouldn't have time to eat.
"I really have eaten!"
Because she was in a hurry, Song Qiao ate a steamed bun while stir-frying the vegetables, and she wasn't hungry anymore.
"Girl, from now on we're family, so don't be shy about anything."
Song Qiao nodded: "Grandpa, I know."
After watching Lu Wenguang finish his meal, Song Qiao looked at him and said, "Grandpa, I'll stay here with Mingxuan tonight. You should go back to the Moon Palace; it's quieter there."
Although the room was a cozy hospital room, Lu Wenguang was used to the quiet of the mountains, and Song Qiao was worried that he wouldn't get a good rest here.
Lu Mingxuan understood Song Qiao's thoughts and also advised Lu Wenguang: "Grandpa, you've never lived in the Moon Palace before, why don't you go stay there tonight? Qiao Qiao is fine here."
Lu Wenguang laughed when he heard this: "Alright! Grandpa understands what you two mean. This place is for you two."
Hearing this, Song Qiao blushed. Lu Wenguang glanced at her and laughed, "Xiao Xuan, I'll accept Qiao Qiao as my granddaughter-in-law."
Lu Wenguang is so old and has seen countless people. He knows that girls who are used to blushing don't lie.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Song Qiao and acquiesced.
In the afternoon, Lu Xinjun came to the ward once, but Lu Wenguang sent him away.
After Lu Xinjun left, Song Qiao helped Lu Wenguang downstairs.
"Grandpa, please slow down!"
As Song Qiao helped Lu Wenguang out of the elevator, they ran into Qiao Zhennan and Wang Hehua at the door, with Qiao Hongwei parking his car behind them.
When Lu Wenguang saw Qiao Zhennan arrive, although he was displeased, he still maintained a polite demeanor: "Zhennan, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing Lu Wenguang, Qiao Zhennan hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands: "Brother! We've come to see Xiao Xuan, and also to apologize to you!"
Qiao Zhennan was, after all, a retired state cadre, so some of the formalities were observed.
"You don't need to apologize to me. You should apologize to Song Qiao. She went to your house to find Xiao Xuan, and Weiwei broke her phone and hit her. You should apologize to her!"
Qiao Hongwei, who had just parked his car and was walking over, immediately became unhappy when he heard Lu Wenguang demand that Qiao Zhennan apologize to Song Qiao: "Dad! What are you saying? Making an elder apologize to a junior? Besides, she has no relation to our family and doesn't need to apologize!"
