Chapter 223 Schemes
Chapter 223 Schemes
Lu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After he came to his senses, he asked, "Qiao Wei is pregnant. Why are you looking for me?"
"Weiwei is pregnant, and the child is yours," Qiao Hongwei said on the phone.
"Impossible! I've never been with Qiao Wei."
Lu Mingxuan said with absolute certainty.
"You've forgotten that on your grandfather's birthday, you got drunk and ended up in bed with Weiwei. That's when she got pregnant with your child."
Qiao Hongwei's words completely enraged Lu Mingxuan: "Stop talking nonsense, okay? I was given sleeping pills by Qiao Wei that time. Since I was unconscious, how could I have had sex with a man?"
"Lu Mingxuan, no matter how you try to justify yourself, you must take responsibility for Weiwei." Qiao Hongwei's voice grew louder and louder.
"Mom! Are you even my own mother? How could you frame your own son like that?"
On the balcony, Lu Mingxuan's phone call startled Song Qiao, who was inside the room, and she came out.
"Mingxuan, what's wrong? Did you argue with your aunt again?"
Hearing the sound, Lu Mingxuan quickly turned off his phone and turned to look at Song Qiao: "It's nothing, Qiao Qiao, something happened at home, I need to go home first."
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan went to the restaurant, greeted Song Jianguo and his wife, and glanced back at Song Qiao: "I'm leaving, I'll call you later."
He needs to go to the Qiao family to clear his name, otherwise his relationship with Song Qiao will be over.
Seeing Lu Mingxuan leave in such a hurry, Song Qiao chased after him worriedly: "Mingxuan, that's your mother. Tell me slowly, don't be in such a rush."
Lu Mingxuan stepped into the elevator and said before the doors closed, "I understand!"
Many times, Lu Mingxuan doubted that he was not Qiao Hongwei's biological son. From childhood to adulthood, she only had a strict attitude and a desire to control him. He had never received the warmth that a mother should give her son.
On the drive back, Lu Mingxuan was thinking about this question again.
Upon arriving at the Qiao family's residence, Lu Mingxuan parked the car, opened the courtyard gate, and went inside. The nanny opened the gate.
"Young Master, you've arrived?"
Where is Qiao Wei?
Lu Mingxuan asked this question as soon as he entered the room.
"She's in the living room, and the young lady, the master, and the wife are all there."
Qiao Hongwei was also there, and since everyone was present, Lu Mingxuan wanted to clarify the matter.
Pushing open the living room door, Lu Mingxuan saw his maternal grandparents and Qiao Hongwei all there. Qiao Wei was sitting on the sofa, surrounded by the three of them with concern on their faces.
"Xiao Xuan, you're here."
When Wang Hehua saw Lu Mingxuan, she was not angry at all, but rather looked happy. Qiao Zhennan, on the other hand, sat there with a rather serious expression on his face.
“Xiao Xuan, I know this isn’t entirely your fault, but since it happened, we have to face it and accept it,” Wang Hehua said.
Lu Mingxuan glanced at Qiao Wei, then his gaze fell on Qiao Hongwei.
"What happened? I didn't do anything that day, Mom! Since you say Qiao Wei is pregnant and the child is mine, then I'll take her to the hospital today for an amniocentesis to get the DNA results and see whose child it really is?"
Upon hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, Qiao Wei was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Qiao Hongwei: "Auntie, I won't go. Amniocentesis can easily cause miscarriage, and my brother just doesn't want this child."
After saying this, Qiao Wei's eyes welled up with tears: "Grandma, my brother is denying it."
Lu Mingxuan stared at Qiao Wei: "Without a paternity test, how will I know if this child is mine?"
Qiao Wei cried when she heard this: "Brother Mingxuan, this child is yours. If you don't acknowledge him, how am I supposed to get married in the future?"
At this moment, Qiao Zhennan, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Xiao Xuan, now that Weiwei is pregnant, you can't shirk your responsibility. Your mother is here too. I'll talk to your father about this and arrange a wedding for you two as soon as possible!"
“Impossible! Grandpa, you know the person I love is Song Qiao, not Qiao Wei. Besides, she is my cousin. How can I marry her?”
Qiao Hongwei didn't explain much after hearing Lu Mingxuan's words. He suddenly stood up, walked to his son's side, raised his hand and slapped him: "You bastard! If you don't get married, how is Weiwei supposed to get married in the future?"
Lu Mingxuan was surprised that Qiao Hongwei would hit him. He stared at her for a moment and asked, "Am I your son or is Qiao Wei your daughter? How can you protect her like this? Do you still care about me as your son?"
Qiao Hongwei looked coldly at Lu Mingxuan: "Even if you are my son, I will stick to the facts. You got Weiwei pregnant and then denied it. Do you deserve to be my son?"
"Fine, then we'll sever our mother-son relationship!"
Lu Mingxuan left those words behind, turned and walked towards the door. After a few steps, he turned back to look at Qiao Wei: "I said, unless I get a DNA test, don't try to take advantage of me."
Seeing Lu Mingxuan about to leave, Qiao Zhennan looked at Qiao Hongwei and said, "Show him the test results!"
"Didn't you want the test results? I have them here!"
After saying this, Qiao Hongwei took a piece of paper out of his briefcase and handed it to Lu Mingxuan.
He looked at Qiao Hongwei with a questioning expression, then looked down at the test results, which stated that the child in Qiao Wei's belly was 99% related to him by blood.
"How could this be?"
Lu Mingxuan, who was initially certain, began to hesitate. Could it be that he really was with Qiao Wei that day?
Something's not right! Something feels off.
Realizing this, Lu Mingxuan turned his attention back to the paternity test results; the problem must lie there.
Lu Mingxuan snatched the paternity test from Qiao Hongwei's hand and left the Qiao family amidst the gasps of the crowd.
Lu Mingxuan arrived at the hospital and went straight to the dean's office.
He walked in without knocking. The head of the laboratory department, who was sitting on the sofa, was surprised to see Lu Mingxuan, but quickly regained his composure and looked at Lu Xinjun, who was sitting on a large chair: "Dean Lu, I'll go back to work now."
"Go ahead!"
Seeing the head of the laboratory department leave, Lu Mingxuan threw the test report in front of him: "Is this interesting? You gave my mother this paper just to tie me and Qiao Wei together. You weren't like this before."
In the past, when Qiao Hongwei threw tantrums, Lu Xinjun would always remind her in time and sometimes even give her a warning. But now, he's actually standing with her to lie to him.
"What did you say?" Lu Xinjun looked at Lu Mingxuan. "I don't understand what you mean."
"The expression on the head of the lab's face just now confirmed my suspicions. You forged this report, otherwise my mother wouldn't have dared to do it. Tell me, why?"
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan said coldly, "Don't you know how much your hospital has made using the drugs I developed over the years? In order to make your hospital stand out among its peers, I even used pseudonyms for my research projects, just so you could use them with confidence and focus. But this is how you treat me?"
