Chapter 530: Blood-Related Granddaughter pt 2

The second time Mrs. Li opened her mouth, it was practically large enough to swallow an egg.

Another child? How many children were they planning to adopt?

Song Wan sneered. This time, she was going to make it impossible for the Li family to get dirt on the Chu family. She rubbed Chu Xiang’s head. “Haven’t you seen clearly? These two are my granddaughters. The older one is adopted while the one currently in my husband’s embrace is our blood-related granddaughter. She’s Ruoxin’s and Ah Lui’s child, born before Ah Lui married that malicious daughter of yours. That was before my son was drugged by your daughter—when he was still able to normally, naturally have a child. Rainy had always been our blood-related granddaughter.”

As she spoke, she turned back, teardrops slightly forming in her eyes. Her fingers moved gently as if she was caressing Rainy’s round face. “We treated her so badly, and yet she gave us such a wonderful child. We treated your daughter so well. For your years, we treated your daughter and your Li family so earnestly. In the end, your family almost caused our family to fall into ruin and severed our family line.”

“We were really very blind, letting your daughter into our house.” Song Wan got angrier as she spoke.

Whereas Mrs. Li was evidently so shocked by her words that she had yet to regain her senses. Her eyes widened, practically filled with fear as she looked upon the child in Chu Jiang’s arms. Did Song Wan mean that this child was Xia Ruoxin’s? Xia Ruoxin’s child that was born four years ago, Chu Lui’s daughter?

If she really was Chu Lui’s daughter, then, what chance did their Li family stand against her?

“You could be mistaken. Don’t forget, back then Xia Ruoxin also did that kind of job. She was also caught in bed with other men?”

“That’s enough. We already know the truth of the situation. Leave now. We don’t want to see you.” Chu Jiang coldly shouted. Back then, if not because he was trying to let that woman marry honorably into their Chu family, Ah Lui would have never done those cruel things.

Now, even his pitiful granddaughter had to face all these blame that she didn’t deserve.

She was only a three-year-old child. It was all the adult’s fault for making such a young child shoulder the bitter consequences of their actions and their deplorable pasts.

Mrs. Li stood there, dumbfounded, when a ‘pa’ sound made her expression change spontaneously. Song Wan and Chu Jiang both swiftly lowered their heads to see Rainy retract her hand.

Another ‘pa’ sound. Rainy’s hands connected with Mrs. Li’s face again.

Mrs. Li stood there, stunned with her hand covering her face. She couldn’t believe that she had just gotten slapped. A child actually slapped her. She actually just got slapped by a three-year-old.

“Mommy says that when there’s a bug, we must hit it like that.” Rainy retracted her small hand as she spoke with a completely serious face. She was only hitting the bug, not hitting the person.

“What bug? You did that on purpose.” If not for Chu Jiang’s warning before, Mrs. Li would have probably already taken a step forward and beaten her into a pulp. Who cared if she was a child? Who cared if she was only three?

“But my mommy said so. Last time when Mommy had a bug on her face, Granny also did that to her,” the child said earnestly with her tender voice. She didn’t seem like she was joking.

However, her words made Mrs. Li speechless. She could only stand awkwardly in front of Song Wan and Chu Jiang before covering her face and running out of the school. It wasn’t because her face stung from the child’s slap but because those two slaps totally disgraced her. Furthermore, the child’s innocent words had already let Chu Jiang and Song Wan know about the fact that she had slapped Xia Ruoxin before.

Chu Jiang and Song Wan’s eyes met; sadness and regret evident in each other’s eyes. They really felt apologetic towards Xia Ruoxin and her daughter.

“Alright, let’s go back into the classroom to play.” Chu Jiang put down the child in his arms and gently tousled Rainy’s soft hair. Her hair had already grown below her ears. It was already at a length where she could tie it up with a ribbon. Rainy lightly nodded her head and ran into the classroom.

The remaining old couple only let out a sigh at the same time before facing each other in silence.

After school, Chu Jiang carried Rainy and walked out of the school. In the nursery, there had yet to be any parents who accompanied their children to school. Chu Jiang and Song Wan were considered the first. Furthermore, they came in a pair. However, this was the only way for them to see their granddaughter more often. As Rainy wasn’t living with them, they could only see her at the nursery; and once it was the weekend, they couldn’t meet her anymore.

“Daddy…” Rainy happily waved her hand because she saw Gao Yi standing at the entrance. Her words made the Chu couple feel extremely sad. Clearly, she was their granddaughter, and yet she was calling another person ‘daddy’ and went by another surname.

Gao Yi carried Rainy over from Chu Jiang’s arms, and Rainy happily latched onto Gao Yi’s neck before giving him big kisses. “Daddy, Rainy really missed you and Mommy.” She continuously rubbed her small face against Gao Yi’s chest. Those kisses were something the Chu couple hadn’t received before.

Perhaps it was because they were too estranged. That’s why although she called them ‘Grandpa’ and ‘Granny’, she wasn’t that intimate with them. Many a time, this child was so polite that they couldn’t help but feel distanced. However, this child wasn’t like that to Gao Yi. She would intimately call him ‘Daddy’ and act pettishly in front of him. It was only at times like these that Rainy seemed like a child.

The naturally conveyed love between them made the Chu couple’s eyes red with jealousy. Yet, there was nothing they could do about it. Who asked them to meet Rainy three years later than he did? Now, they could only wait for Rainy to accept them and get closer to them bit by bit.

“Thank you for taking care of her,” Gao Yi thanked them politely. Chu Jiang was just about to say something when Song Wan stopped him. Song Wan shook her head at him. It was best that they didn’t say anything now. After all, in Rainy’s heart, her grandparents still weren’t as important as her daddy. Were they just going to make Rainy hate them as much as she hated their son—so much that she wasn’t even willing to see his face?

“Alright, Rainy, let’s head back home. Your mommy’s making Rainy’s favorite dishes today.” Gao Yi smiled as he poked Rainy’s forehead before placing her into the car. In the car, there was a doll. Rainy hastily took the doll into her arms and sat obediently inside the car without moving.

“Daddy, Rainy’s hungry.” She tugged at Gao Yi’s sleeve. Gao Yi patted her head. “Your daddy’s hungry, too. That’s why let’s head home first. Otherwise, your mommy might finish all the food and leave nothing for us to eat.”
