Chapter 151 A Longing for Each Other Despite Being So Close
Chapter 151 A Longing for Each Other Despite Being So Close
Just as Lu Mingxuan was about to hang up, Zhang Hua on the other end of the line remembered something else: "Oh right, there's one more thing I need to tell you. I went to see Zhang Guangming again today. It's about Song Qiao's divorce. If Jiang Ming becomes the chairman of the construction company, he might sign the divorce agreement without hesitation."
After hearing this, Lu Mingxuan asked, "Is there any way to stop Jiang Ming and postpone his appointment as chairman tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid not! Think about it, Jiang Ming knows that Song Qiao will be released on bail tomorrow afternoon, so he will definitely be waiting in the conference room before eight o'clock in the morning."
Lu Mingxuan also knew that Jiang Ming had done so much in order to obtain the urban construction company, and he would not let this opportunity slip by.
Since things have come to this, Lu Mingxuan can only wait for a miracle to happen.
While eating with Bai Liang, Lu Mingxuan kept making phone calls. Some were from the hospital, some from Lu Xinjun, and some from Qiao Hongwei, but he kept waiting for his grandfather's call, but there was no news.
"I'm leaving! I won't eat with you anymore. You can eat by yourself. Remember to go to the Urban Construction Company tomorrow morning and check out the situation there for me."
Lu Mingxuan ate a few bites, then stood up from his seat to leave.
"Don't you need to be in such a hurry? Since things have come to this, there's no use in being anxious. You ordered so much food, it would be a waste not to eat it."
Bai Liang finally understood why Lu Mingxuan had lost weight in just two days.
"How can I not be anxious? Song Qiao is still locked up, and the company will fall into Jiang Ming's hands tomorrow."
Lu Mingxu left those words behind, got up, and walked out of room 206.
Bai Liang glanced at the untouched dishes on the table, muttering about the waste, and started eating by himself.
After leaving Lao Tang Liao Li, Lu Mingxuan drove to the police station.
When he arrived, Xing Rui had already left work.
He went to the duty room and made his request to see Song Qiao.
"Her appointments for today are all booked; you cannot see her."
Lu Mingxuan, unfamiliar with the young policeman, quickly said, "I won't go in to see her. I'll just stand at the door, say a few words to her, and then leave!"
"Standing at the door and saying a few words is an option, but not being allowed to see them!"
The young policeman looked at Lu Mingxuan with an authoritative expression and said...
Left with no other option, Lu Mingxuan had to call Xing Rui again.
Xing Rui's voice came through the phone: "Brother, just bear with it. She'll be released on bail tomorrow. We're following the rules, okay?"
Upon hearing Xing Rui's words, Lu Mingxuan immediately said, "Just tell me if you'll let me see you or not. If you won't, I'll call Director Zhang right now."
Xing Rui knew that once Lu Mingxuan went to Director Zhang, Director Zhang would definitely have a problem with him. He couldn't even handle such a small matter properly. Even though Zhang Yunqian didn't say anything, he would still have to reprimand him during the meeting.
Fine, if the green light was given in the morning, then the green light should be given in the evening too.
"Give your phone to Xiaolu, and I'll arrange for him to take you there."
Hearing Xing Rui say this on the phone, Lu Mingxuan put his phone on the table and turned it on: "Go ahead and say it, that police officer is right next to me."
"Xiao Lu, take Lu Mingxuan there. As long as you don't open the door, it won't count as the two of you meeting."
Upon hearing Xing Rui's words, the policeman surnamed Lu quickly agreed, "I understand. Being separated by a door doesn't count as meeting."
"Alright, take him there."
Xiao Lu stood up and looked at Lu Mingxuan: "Let's go, I'll take you there."
If Lu Mingxuan doesn't see Song Qiao today, he won't be able to sleep when he gets home. Whenever he has free time, all he can think about is her helpless look sitting on the bed.
Lu Mingxuan and police officer Xiao Lu arrived at the door of the solitary confinement cell. He called out "Qiao Qiao" through the door.
At this moment, Song Qiao felt increasingly nervous. There were less than ten hours left until Jiang Ming became the chairman of the urban construction company tomorrow. Could it be that her father's hard work would go to waste?
Just as she was feeling down about this, Lu Mingxuan's voice sounded from outside the door. She pressed her forehead against the door, trying to calm herself down: "Mingxuan, you're back? Do you have any news about Zhao Xiaoya?"
“I couldn’t find Zhao Xiaoya, but I found Tong Yao. I’ll come pick you up at 3 pm tomorrow. We’ll go somewhere where I saw Wang Cuihua with her child shopping.”
"What? You saw Wang Cuihua and Tong Yao? You're not mistaken, are you? Where are they?"
Lu Mingxuan glanced at the police officer standing next to him. He had set a time limit of only half an hour when he arrived, so he decided to keep it brief.
“They were in a place called Wenzhen. I went there with the guard at the correctional facility, but the guard lost them and instead saw Wang Cuihua and Tong Yao.”
Song Qiao, inside the door, asked excitedly, "Has Wang Cuihua seen you?"
Song Qiao was afraid that Wang Cuihua would see Lu Mingxuan, so she would hide Tong Yao again, and that way she still wouldn't be able to see the child.
"After I got out of the car, they turned onto a street and disappeared. But don't worry, wherever they reappear means they live not far away."
Song Qiao said happily from inside the door, "Mingxuan, when I go out, take me there to find her. This time I must see Tong Yao. I want to tell her that it wasn't that her mother was heartless and didn't want her; it was that I had no other choice at the time."
Hearing Song Qiao speaking inside, Lu Mingxuan listened quietly outside.
"Time is almost up!"
Lu Jiangcha, who was standing to the side, reminded Lu Mingxuan.
He hurriedly reminded Song Qiao, "Qiao Qiao, I have to go now. You rest well inside. Attorney Zhang has already taken care of the formalities for you. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
Hearing that Lu Mingxuan was leaving, Song Qiao stood inside the door. She wanted to see what he looked like, but she couldn't. However, from his hoarse voice, she knew that he had become quite haggard after a long day.
"Mingxuan, you can go back now. I'm fine here, don't worry about me."
Lu Mingxuan also wanted to see Song Qiao, but the inability to meet her despite being so close made him feel sad.
"Qiaoqiao, I'll be waiting for you here at three o'clock tomorrow. I'm leaving now!"
"You go!"
Song Qiao was reluctant to see Lu Mingxuan leave, but she knew that he had gone to great lengths to ask for this simple request to come and talk to her.
Hearing Lu Mingxuan's footsteps fade into the distance, Song Qiao returned to bed. The joy of seeing her biological daughter soon made her temporarily forget about Jiang Ming's meeting at eight o'clock the next morning.
Yushan.
After feeding Song Jianguo his medicine, Tao Meiling stood beside him and nagged, "You old man, you're really good at keeping your composure. The company is about to go bankrupt, and you're still sleeping here?"
Tao Meiling had been trying to provoke Song Jianguo in different ways since morning, but he hadn't made a move.
As Tao Meiling left the bedroom to put the bowls away, Song Jianguo, who was lying on the bed, twitched his fingers.
Tao Meiling returned to the bedroom, sighed deeply, and lay down on the bed. She was exhausted after a long day, with a sore back and aching waist. She had to turn Song Jianguo over several times.
Then she fell asleep without realizing it.
In her sleep, Tao Meiling heard Song Jianguo say, "Your constant nagging is driving you crazy?"
Tao Meiling thought she was dreaming and was about to answer him when she suddenly opened her eyes and found Song Jianguo lying next to her, looking at her.
"Old Song, you're awake?" Tao Meiling cried, looking at him with tears streaming down her face.
She couldn't fall asleep anymore. She glanced at the time; it was three in the morning.
