After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 259 Hot Pot Restaurant Gets Scalded

Qiao Wei was sitting in front of Lu Mingxuan discussing her parents' divorce when she saw Song Qiao walking towards them from not far away, and she had an idea.

With his back to Song Qiao as she walked towards him, Lu Mingxuan hatched a vicious plan: "Song Qiao, do you really think Lu Mingxuan still likes you this much even though you've been disfigured?"

As Song Qiao approached, Qiao Wei suddenly became agitated. She stood up and looked at Lu Mingxuan, saying, "Brother, you've lived in the Lu family for over thirty years. If Mom and Dad get divorced, you can't just ignore it."

"How could I not care? It's a matter of feelings..."

Before Lu Mingxuan could finish his sentence, Qiao Wei suddenly lifted the hot pot, splashing the thick broth towards Song Qiao who was walking over.

When Lu Mingxuan realized this, it was too late to stop him. He turned over in his seat and stood in front of Song Qiao.

As half a pot of soup was spilled onto Lu Mingxuan's back, his sweater became soaked and steaming.

"Mingxuan!" Song Qiao shouted, terrified out of her wits.

When Song Qiao lifted her head from Lu Mingxuan's embrace, she saw him wincing in pain.

"Mingxuan! How are you? Dad! Come quickly and save Mingxuan."

Song Qiao shouted in the direction where Lu Xinjun was sitting.

When Lu Xinjun heard the shouts, a crowd had already gathered around Lu Mingxuan and Song Qiao's group. The waiter shouted to the boss, "Someone got burned by the hot pot!"

The boss rushed out from backstage, and Lu Xinjun pressed Tong Yao back into her seat: "Yao Yao, don't go anywhere, I'll go see what's going on."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll listen to you."

Qiao Wei was also taken aback when Lu Mingxuan risked his life to block the scalding hot pot water. She stood there trembling with fear, muttering to herself, "How could this happen? Brother Mingxuan, I didn't mean to."

When Lu Xinjun walked over, he was shocked to see the scene: "What happened to Mingxuan?"

"Dad! He got burned on the back by the hot pot water, please save Mingxuan quickly."

The commotion quickly attracted customers who were dining nearby, and even the restaurant owner came over.

Getting someone burned at a hot pot restaurant is no small matter. The owner anxiously asked, "What exactly happened?"

Lu Xinjun quickly lifted Lu Mingxuan's sweater, revealing a bright red back. He asked loudly, "What exactly happened?"

Before Song Qiao could answer, a middle-aged man at the next table pointed at Qiao Wei and said, "This woman overturned the pot, probably to deal with this beauty. Her boyfriend shielded her with his body."

Lu Xinjun didn't have time to investigate Qiao Wei's responsibility; instead, he took out his phone and quickly dialed the emergency department.

"Hello! Dean Lu."

"Director Liu, get a car right away! Mingxuan is injured at the hot pot restaurant at No. 78 Wenmiao Road. Hurry!"

After hearing this, Lu Xinjun looked at Lu Mingxuan with concern: "Besides your back, where else does it hurt?"

"On the legs!"

Lu Mingxuan answered through gritted teeth.

Seeing Qiao Wei standing dumbfounded to the side, Lu Xinjun walked over and slapped her: "What do you want to do?"

Qiao Wei covered her face, looking at the scene in front of her in panic, and shouted hysterically, "It's all because of that woman Song Qiao! If it weren't for her, Brother Mingxuan would have married me! It's all because of that shameless woman!"

Lu Xinjun pointed a trembling finger at her: "You wait, I'll call the police to arrest you right now!"

Throwing hotpot water at someone is a crime of intentional assault, which is punishable by imprisonment.

Just as Lu Xinjun was taking out his phone to dial the police, Lu Mingxuan pressed his hand down: "Dad, let's talk about this at home."

Lu Mingxuan knew that if Qiao Wei went to jail, her life would be ruined.

After saying this, Lu Mingxuan turned to look at Song Qiao: "Qiao Qiao, she is, after all, my sister. Can you forgive her this time?"

Song Qiao shook her head while crying, then nodded.

She couldn't ignore Lu Mingxuan's feelings.

Where is Yao Yao?

Song Qiao realized she hadn't seen Tong Yao and asked worriedly. Lu Xinjun quickly replied, "Yao Yao is sitting over there waiting for me. I'll go and bring her over right away."

Lu Xinjun glared at Qiao Wei and said, "Get out of here!"

In front of so many people, Lu Xinjun told her to get out, and Qiao Wei ran out crying.

Tong Yao was brought to Song Qiao's side, and she hugged her tightly, fearing that the perverted Qiao Wei would harm her daughter.

After running out crying, Qiao Wei took a taxi back to her grandparents' house; she dared not return to the Lu family's house.

The ambulance arrived quickly and carried Lu Mingxuan onto a stretcher. Lu Xinjun reminded the doctor, "He has a burn on his back, so have him lie face down on the stretcher."

If you add oil to a pot of hot water, it would probably be cooked through if it weren't winter.

Even after being placed on the stretcher, Lu Mingxuan was still filled with lingering fear, wondering what the consequences would have been if the hot pot water had been splashed on Song Qiao's face.

Tong Yao sat in Lu Xinjun's car, while Song Qiao accompanied Lu Mingxuan into the hospital in the ambulance.

She cried the whole way. Lu Mingxuan had been with her for half a year and had already been injured twice in his place. If it weren't for her, he might not have had to suffer like this.

The ambulance sped towards Jiangcheng Hospital through the snow, its siren blaring. Song Qiao held Lu Mingxuan's hand tightly: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt!"

Lu Mingxuan lay on the stretcher, gripping Song Qiao's hand tightly with one hand.

The snow was still falling heavily, but Song Qiao had no mood to appreciate it at all. Their wedding was less than eight days away, but Lu Mingxuan was injured.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Lu Mingxuan was wheeled into the operating room, while Song Qiao sat down weakly at the door, her face contorted in pain.

Lu Xinjun then took Yao Yao back to the hospital. Yao Yao ran over crying from a distance, asking, "Mommy, what happened to Daddy?"

Song Qiao reached out and hugged her. This little child was coming to the hospital every few days, enduring the worry of her loved ones being injured and hospitalized.

"Dad is fine, he just got burned by the hot pot water."

Song Qiao also regretted that she shouldn't have suggested that Lu Mingxuan go out for hot pot. If they hadn't gone out for hot pot, this wouldn't have happened. If they had eaten at home, nothing would have happened.

"Qiaoqiao, don't worry, Mingxuan's injuries will heal soon. I will find the best burn specialist to treat him so that the wedding won't be delayed."

Song Qiao nodded to Lu Xinjun: "Dad, could you please take Yao Yao back to my mom's house? I'll stay here to take care of Mingxuan tonight."

Lu Xinjun nodded: "Okay then, I'll be back in a bit."

After saying this, Lu Xinjun looked down at Tong Yao and said, "Let's go, Grandpa will take you to Grandma's house."

Lu Mingxuan was in the operating room with red marks all over his back and legs from the heat. Fortunately, he was wearing thick winter clothes, so no blisters formed. The doctor applied a layer of ointment to him and gave him an IV drip that night to reduce the inflammation. After observation, he was told that he could be discharged tomorrow if everything was fine.

Song Qiao looked at Lu Mingxuan lying on the bed in the dead of winter, not daring to wear any clothes, his skin red from the ointment, and she felt heartbroken and shed tears.

"Does it hurt?" Song Qiao held his hand to her face, trying to ease his pain.

"It doesn't hurt! Don't cry."

Lu Mingxuan took the opportunity to wipe away her tears with his hand.
