After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 240 Recognizing a Goddaughter

The son is getting married today, and the father and mother are getting a divorce today. Lu Mingxuan felt that this was too dramatic.

"Dad, don't be impulsive. Don't let my situation affect you two."

Lu Mingxuan hadn't yet processed the fact that Qiao Hongwei had stolen him. Even if the Lu family was powerful and influential, they couldn't just forcibly take someone else's child as their own. What was the difference between that and robbery?

If it weren't for Qiao Hongwei's unreasonable behavior tonight, he wouldn't have been so disappointed as to decide to get a divorce. This incident showed him Qiao Hongwei's domineering nature, forcing him to marry Qiao Wei, and even resorting to unscrupulous means.

"I've had enough of her over the years. She's arrogant and has no bottom line. I have to get a divorce."

Although Lu Xinjun didn't mention Qiao Wei, Lu Mingxuan still wanted to ask him what he was thinking.

"Dad, if Qiao Wei comes home, I can move out. Let me know when you've made your decision."

Lu Xinjun remained silent for a long time after hearing this, and then asked a few minutes later, "Xiao Xuan, are you not planning to acknowledge me as your father? And your grandfather, he has always been the one who loves you the most since you were little."

Lu Mingxuan glanced at Song Qiao in the passenger seat: "Dad, you will always be my dad, and so will my grandpa. I won't abandon him. But aunt... can my mom still stay in Yushan? She said those things tonight, which may have hurt her."

Since Qiao Hongwei said those things, Yun Miao could no longer stay by Lu Wenguang's side.

"Xiao Xuan, leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I will make arrangements for you and Yun Miao. I've thought it through. If Yun Miao agrees, she can be my sister."

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan felt a knot in his heart, and then asked, "You mean you want my mother to forever fulfill your filial duties to my grandfather in your place?"

"That's not how it is..."

Lu Xinjun's words trailed off, lacking conviction. Over the years, facts have proven that Yun Miao was fulfilling his filial duty on his behalf. He usually didn't return to Yushan unless necessary, and if he did, he would leave immediately after a meal.

The word "master" bound Yun Miao to her for life, and she has been taking care of Lu Wenguang all these years.

Qiao Hongwei is even worse. He only goes home once or twice a year, eats, and then leaves without a care in the world. Yet he still says such slanderous things.

"Xiao Xuan, I will make it up to your mother, and wait for your grandfather..."

Lu Xinjun took his phone and walked out of the living room into the yard, saying, "After your grandfather passes away, I plan to leave the house in Yushan to your mother. This can be considered as compensation for her filial piety towards your grandfather."

Lu Mingxuan was disgusted by Lu Xinjun's constant talk of "compensation." Everyone knew that Yun Miao's care for Lu Wenguang was not for money, but because of her respect and love for her master.

"Dad, let Mom make the decision herself. After all, she has a deep relationship with my grandfather, who was her mentor."

While Lu Mingxuan was on the phone with Lu Xinjun, Song Qiao watched him the whole time. They were now husband and wife, sharing both joy and sorrow, and she wanted to help him bear the burden.

"Xiao Xuan, don't worry. Once I've settled things here, I'll prepare for your marriage with Song Qiao."

Lu Mingxuan did not refuse. If he had refused, Lu Xinjun would have thought he was trying to sever his father-son relationship with him.

"Okay, Dad, I'll hang up now."

After ending the call, Lu Mingxuan looked at Song Qiao, then back at Tong Yao: "Let's go! Let's go back to the city and have dinner as a family of three. Yao Yao, tell Dad what you want to eat."

"I'll eat whatever Mom and Dad eat. I'm not a picky eater," Tong Yao said quietly, looking at Lu Mingxuan and Song Qiao.

Song Qiao looked back at her daughter and became happier the more she looked. Tong Yao was so sensible. If it were Jiang Xiaoran, she would definitely refuse to eat this or that and eat nothing but junk food.

"Okay! Let's go to Dreamland tonight."

Upon hearing this, Song Qiao reminded him, "That's the most expensive hotel in the entire Jiangcheng. Have you thought it through?"

"I've made up my mind! My wife and daughter want the stars in the sky, and I'm going to pluck them down from the sky too."

Song Qiao and Tong Yao looked at each other and smiled happily.

After being taken home by the Zhong couple, Jiang Xiaoran first asked the elderly couple to buy her a set of clothes, and then she coaxed them into going to a hotel for dinner.

"Old man, I promised Ranran, we're going to Dreamland tonight."

"Dreamland is so expensive, where do you really go?"

Zhong Yi looked at his wife; her hair had turned white since their eldest son died.

“We have money, and we’ll be able to afford it all in the future anyway. Let’s go to Dreamland and make the kids happy.”

"I'll listen to you!"

Zhong Yi nodded and looked at Jiang Xiaoran: "Ranran, come on! I'll take you to see your brother."

Zhong Yi had made up her mind. After meeting Zhong Yuan, she would change Jiang Xiaoran's surname and given name. Before, she was called Jiang Xiaoran, but from now on she would be called Zhong Ran. She would just change the surname and change one character in the given name.

"Okay, Dad."

Jiang Xiaoran agreed and followed Zhong Yi to stand up from the sofa in the living room. The two of them went to the door of Zhong Yuan's room.

"Ranran, this is your brother's room. You can't go through it without Mom and Dad's permission, understand?"

Jiang Xiaoran obediently nodded: "I understand!"

Her answer was straightforward: she just wanted to go inside and see what was hidden in the room.

Pushing open the door, you'll find a room full of photos, all collected by the Zhong couple, from Zhong Yuan's childhood to when he took the police academy entrance exam; the walls are covered with them.

Although Jiang Xiaoran was a bit of a slacker, she was still shocked to see the photos covering the wall, especially the ones of Zhong Yuan in his police uniform, which made her look frightened.

"Ranran, don't be afraid. Your brother is a policeman who catches bad guys." Zhong Yi noticed the fear in Jiang Xiaoran's eyes.

“I wasn’t scared. I’m proud to see my brother. I want to learn from him.”

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Xiaoran didn't learn anything else, but she learned how to flatter and how to be a likable child.

"Good child, you should learn from your brother and become a person who serves society. You should study hard and be as excellent as your brother was when he was alive."

"I will!"

Jiang Xiaoran had done so many bad things in the past that she was afraid of Zhong Yuan. If he were still alive, she probably wouldn't dare to go near this room.

"Starting today, you will change your surname and your given name. Your name will be Zhong Ran."

For Jiang Xiaoran, as long as she doesn't suffer, it doesn't matter what she's called.

"Then Dad will go with you to change your household registration later."

Lu Family Villa in Yushan.

Lu Wenguang sat on the sofa, still angry, and looked at his son: "Does Xiaoxuan agree to your divorce from Hongwei?"

After saying this, Lu Wenguang also explained some principles to Lu Xinjun, such as marriage is not like being a daughter-in-law, and reminded him of the help Qiao Zhennan gave him when he founded Jiangcheng Hospital.

"Don't be rash about divorce. For your father-in-law's sake, give her another chance."

Lu Xinjun nodded, agreeing with his father's words, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Then, Lu Xinjun turned his gaze to Yun Miao on the sofa: "Dad, I've always treated Yun Miao like my sister. You don't have a daughter either, so why don't you adopt Yun Miao as your goddaughter?"
