Chapter 442 -442: Bringing Lu Family and Qiao Family Together

After confirming that Lu Zhanxing was alright, Qiao Se exclaimed that it was a medical miracle.

“Take a good rest for a while, and you’ll completely recover.”

Lu Zhanxing expressed his gratitude, “Thank you.”

Qiao Se waved his hand, “If you want to thank someone, thank Xiaoqiao. I came because she asked me to.”

Lu Zhanxing’s gaze softened as he looked towards Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun escorted Qiao Se out.

Smiling, Qiao Se said, “I’ve heard from those kids at the research institute that you’re thinking about staying with the Lu Family next year?”

The bunch from the research institute had come crying to him.

They accused the Lu Family of not returning Professor Qiao to them and monopolizing her time. If he hadn’t stopped them, they probably would have demonstrated at the Lu Family’s doorstep by now.

Anyone who didn’t know better might have thought it was their mother getting remarried and not taking them along.

Looking at her toes and feeling somewhat embarrassed, Qiao Yun said, “I want to stay with the Lu Family the year after next, and the year after that too…”

Qiao Se looked astonished.

He wondered if he had gone deaf.

Did Xiaoqiao mean that she recognized the Lu Family as her relatives now?

They had taken care of Qiao Yun for so long, and except for her older brother, no one had been able to make her feel like they were family.

It seemed that the Lu Family truly cared for Qiao Yun.

Seeing that Second Grandpa was silent, Qiao Yun thought he was displeased and pursed her lips, “Second Grandpa, please don’t be angry. Brother is very nice to me, as are mom and dad, grandpa and grandma, my cousin, and my eldest uncle. I am very happy.”

Qiao Se deliberately asked with a stern face, “Are you happier than you were at the Qiao Family?”

Qiao Yun frowned, unsure how to explain.

She liked her grandfather and her current family members too.

To her, both the Qiao Family and the Lu Family meant the same in her heart.

Unable to hold back his laughter, Qiao Se said reassuringly, “If your grandfather knew about your decision, he would certainly be very happy. This is exactly what he wanted when he let you go back to your family. No matter where you are, Second Grandpa will always consider you family.”

Qiao Yun’s heart felt warm, and she experienced an unusual emotion she had never felt before.

In the past, she saw herself as an outsider to the world, indifferent to everyone.

But after coming back this time, she realized that wasn’t the case.

She had many people she couldn’t bear to leave behind; she couldn’t be an outsider anymore.

Qiao Se’s voice was gentle as he said, “Someday soon, let’s have a meal together. Since you’ve decided to stay, we should meet to feel reassured.”

Qiao Yun asked him, “Do you agree with my decision?”

“What else? They are your blood relatives after all,” Qiao Se said, shaking his head helplessly.

“I will talk to them,” Qiao Yun certainly hoped the Lu Family would be approved by them.

But the meeting wasn’t urgent; it would wait until Lu Zhanxing had recovered.

After returning to the hospital room, Qiao Yun told Lu Zhanxing about it.

Lu Zhanxing felt like the sky was falling and the ground was sinking. Meeting the Qiao Family… Could their small arms and legs twist the thick thigh of the Qiao Family?

Even though Qiao Yun was the one related to them by blood, Lu Zhanxing inexplicably felt guilty.

It was as if he had the illusion of having stolen someone’s treasure.

At that moment, he truly wished he could recover more slowly.

…

The news about Lu Zhanxing’s car accident eventually reached the senior members of the Lu Family, as there was no stopping relatives who learned of the incident from the news from calling and asking them.

The elders rushed to the hospital, distraught, and bombarded them with criticism.

“How could you keep such a big matter hidden from us? Have you considered what your father and I would feel if something happened to Zhanxing?” the old lady said furiously.

“If something were to have happened, do you want us to live with guilt for the rest of our lives? It’s such an important moment, yet we had no knowledge; it’s truly…” the old man was so angry that his chest heaved.

“We were wrong.”

Su Mian, Lu Rui, Lu Xian, Lu Jingzhi, Lu Zhanxing, and Lu Shiran admitted their mistakes like children.

Qiao Yun looked at them and said with proper form, “I was wrong.”

“Good granddaughter, it’s not your fault. Go sit over there,” the old lady told Qiao Yun, handing her a plate of peeled apples.

Qiao Yun held the plate, blinked, and made an “oh” sound.

She sat quietly to the side, watching the elders scold the younger ones.

Seeing this, Lu Zhanxing hurriedly said, “Grandma, I’m an injured person; the thing we kept from you has nothing to do with me.”

“How does it have nothing to do with you?” the old lady said with a mix of heartache and anger. “You had to enter the entertainment industry, and now look at you, messing yourself up like this. Weren’t you very capable?”

Lu Zhanxing immediately shut his mouth, indicating that whatever you say is right, just don’t be angry.

The old patriarch said firmly, “Have you learned your lesson now? Once you’re healed, you’ll work at the group and properly take over the family assets.”

Lu Zhanxing muttered under his breath, “Grandpa, you’re including your personal agenda here.”

The old patriarch glared at him.

Lu Zhanxing didn’t dare to say another word.

The elders still commanded great authority. When they scolded someone, others didn’t dare to talk back, mainly for fear of causing them to faint from anger.

“Grandma, have some water; grandpa, have some water.” Qiao Yun brought two cups of water to the elders who were lecturing until they were thirsty.

“Don’t be angry; we don’t want you to be angry. It’s not good for your health.”

“Alright, alright, grandma isn’t angry.” Seeing her granddaughter being so caring, the old lady couldn’t stay mad, her eyes were full of tender smiles.

The members of the Lu Family looked at each other.

The difference in treatment between grandsons (sons) and granddaughters is just too great.

Lu Xian’s eyes sparkled faintly as he looked at Qiao Yun. He thought, if only she were his daughter…

The old patriarch asked with a dissatisfied expression, “Who was the miracle doctor who saved Zhanxing? I must thank him properly.”

Had it not been for the miracle doctor, their family would have been ruined.

Lu Rui said awkwardly, “I also don’t know who it was; they said not to mention their name and to think of them as a concerned citizen.”

The old patriarch: “…”

The old lady: “…”

Lu Zhanxing and Lu Jingzhi, without collusion, glanced at Qiao Yun who was quietly eating an apple and then covertly averted their gazes, pretending to know nothing.

The old patriarch pointed at Lu Rui, “What use are you if you can’t even handle this simple thing?”

“Yes, my fault.” Lu Rui was also wronged. He wanted to know who saved Lu Zhanxing more than anyone.

“Our family owes them a big favor. If we ever find out who it is, we must repay it,” expressed the old patriarch.

Nowadays, there are barely any people who do good deeds without leaving their names.

Lu Rui felt the same way, “I understand.”

“And Doctor Qiao Se, he’s also our benefactor,” instructed the old patriarch.

All members of the Lu Family nodded together.

Qiao Yun seized the moment to say, “He wants to invite you all for dinner.”

The members of the Lu Family looked puzzled. Wait a minute, shouldn’t they be inviting him to dinner? How did it become him inviting them? The order seems mistaken.

It must be Qiaoqiao who misspoke.

The old patriarch nodded in agreement, “Indeed we should invite him for a dinner to express our thanks.”

“Then let’s wait until Zhanxing has recovered, and we can all thank the person together.”

Seeing that they misunderstood, Qiao Yun didn’t elaborate; after all, she had told them.

The dinner with the Qiao Family was definitely going to happen.

As for how it would turn out, that wasn’t something she could control.
