Chapter 250 The Mastermind
Upon hearing Yun Miao's words, Qiao Hongwei turned his gaze to Lu Xinjun: "You neglected your own daughter in the operating room for the sake of your adopted son. I think you just want to abandon your wife and children and find a new love!"
Lu Xinjun sneered: "Qiao Hongwei, you are not worthy to be Xiao Xuan's mother. On such an important day, you come here to cause trouble. What exactly do you want?"
“What do I want to do? I raised Lu Mingxuan, he can’t marry Song Qiao, Lu Xinjun! If you want to stay in Jiangcheng, you’d better get this done right, or I’ll ruin your reputation.”
Threatened by Qiao Hongwei, Lu Xinjun looked at her coldly: "I think you've gone mad. You even want to control your son's marriage? What era are we living in?"
Qiao Hongwei sneered, "I don't care what era it is. If Lu Mingxuan wants to marry, he should marry our daughter. Otherwise, I'll make sure he can't stay in Jiangcheng."
Lu Xinjun glared at her angrily: "Are you crazy? What do you take Xiao Xuan for? A puppet?"
Qiao Hongwei tilted his head back, looking confident: "I'm not only going to control him, but also you. If you don't do as I say, you can forget about being the director of Jiangcheng Hospital."
Then, pointing at Yun Miao and Lu Xinjun, he said, "I'm going to post your photos online. I want the whole industry to know that you, Lu Xinjun, had an affair with your father's apprentice."
"Qiao Hongwei, you're making baseless accusations! You say I cheated on you, but show me the evidence!" Lu Xinjun asked angrily.
Qiao Hongwei nodded: "You want evidence, right? As long as I have photos of the two of you on my phone, I'll make this a huge scandal. Don't forget, I work in the United Front Work Department. I can get the result I want with ease."
Upon hearing this, Yun Miao trembled with rage: "You're making false accusations, Qiao Hongwei! After all these years of marriage, you dare to use your own husband?"
Qiao Hongwei gritted his teeth and said, "What do I have to be afraid of? Anyone who touches my interests, I will make sure they get away with it."
Looking at Qiao Hongwei with a heavy heart, Lu Xinjun said, "Qiao Hongwei, do you think you can control everything in Jiangcheng? Let me tell you, I originally planned to divorce you after our son's wedding, but it seems I don't have to wait anymore. I'm divorcing you now."
Lu Xinjun walked over and grabbed Qiao Hongwei's wrist: "Let's go! I don't want to have anything to do with you for even a minute. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now."
Upon hearing that Lu Xinjun really wanted to divorce her, Qiao Hongwei hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to look up at him.
“Lu Xinjun! Aren’t you afraid I’ll make you leave with nothing? You won’t get Jiangcheng Hospital, and you won’t get a single penny of the family property. If you’ve thought all this through, I’ll agree to divorce you.”
Lu Xinjun realized for the first time how shameless Qiao Hongwei was. He nodded and said, "Fine! Even if I leave with nothing, I'll still get a divorce. Let's go."
Song Qiao had been standing at the door for a long time, and upon hearing this, she hurriedly went inside.
"Dad! What happened?"
Before Lu Xinjun could answer, Qiao Hongwei looked at Song Qiao with contempt: "I want to divorce Lu Xinjun. He is the one at fault and must leave with nothing."
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao deliberately looked at Lu Xinjun with disbelief: "Dad, what have you done to offend Mom?"
Upon hearing Song Qiao's words, Qiao Hongwei looked at her coldly.
"Don't call me Mom. I don't recognize you as my daughter-in-law. My only daughter-in-law can be Qiao Wei. I won't acknowledge anyone else."
Song Qiao seemed to understand that Qiao Hongwei had come today to stop her from being with Lu Mingxuan, and if he couldn't stop her, he would use the divorce from Lu Xinjun to achieve his goal.
"You can disown me, but I want to know why my father should be left with nothing? He's the legal representative of the hospital, and he earned all the family's assets. Just because Lu Mingxuan won't marry your daughter, you're taking your anger out on him?"
Qiao Hongwei knew that Song Qiao already knew Qiao Wei's true identity, and said, "If you don't want him to lose everything, divorce Lu Mingxuan and let them get married. Otherwise, I will sue him for having an improper relationship with Miao Yun, and I will ruin him."
Song Qiao laughed angrily: "You're a state cadre, how can you say such things without any evidence? Do you know there's a crime called framing?"
It was only then that Qiao Hongwei remembered Song Qiao's identity: the chairman of the urban construction company. She couldn't have gotten this position without certain abilities.
Qiao Hongwei became more cautious in his speech: "I didn't frame him. I already took a picture. There are only the two of them in this room."
Song Qiao laughed: "What you took is useless. These days, everything is about evidence. Saying that the two of them have an ambiguous relationship is not enough with just a photo of them on a table. If you want to Photoshop the photo to look the way you want, the professionals are not to be trifled with."
Qiao Hongwei was speechless after Song Qiao's words. She looked at Yun Miao and said, "They have been together for many years. Every time Lu Xinjun returns to Yushan, he goes to see her."
"you……"
"Qiao Hongwei...?"
Yun Miao and Lu Xinjun both denounced her.
Only Song Qiao looked at her calmly and said, "I'll say it again: where's the evidence? If you don't have any evidence, you're just framing someone, and you'll be convicted of framing someone."
As soon as Song Qiao returned, Qiao Hongwei seemed to lose control of the situation. She glared at Song Qiao angrily and said, "It's all because of you, you bitch! If it weren't for you, Mingxuan would have married Qiao Wei, and our family would be together."
"Who gave you permission to insult my daughter like that?"
Song Jianguo could walk again, and he stood at the door with his crutches, looking at Qiao Hongwei and questioning him.
All eyes turned to Song Jianguo standing at the door, and Lu Mingxuan pushing a wheelchair.
Tao Meiling sat in a wheelchair, with Tong Yao beside her.
"Yaoyao, push Grandma over there to play for a while," Song Jianguo said, turning around to look at his granddaughter.
He wanted to settle accounts with Qiao Hongwei; it was time to settle a score from over a decade ago.
It turns out that Qiao Hongwei knew Song Jianguo, which started with an urban planning project more than a decade ago.
"Song Jianguo! Your well-raised daughter is so shameless! She was abandoned by Jiang Ming, and now she's coming to pester my son?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan coldly looked at Qiao Hongwei: "Do you still consider me your son? Aren't I just your puppet? When I was very young, I cried and stayed with you. What did you say? You said that if it weren't for Qiao Wei, you wouldn't even recognize me as your son."
As everyone's eyes turned to Lu Mingxuan, he continued sadly, "All these years you've never treated me like your son."
Song Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore and walked in, saying, "Qiao Hongwei, you're exactly the same as you were ten years ago, still so arrogant and domineering. Back then, you forcibly demolished houses in the city and killed Xu Tao's ex-wife, Yang Qiong. You used your position to shift the blame to your subordinate, Wang Qiang, who was sentenced to twenty-five years, while you remained unscathed. Today, you still want to use your power to break up my daughter and son-in-law? You're dreaming!"
