Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 537
Chapter 537: Don’t Want That Daddy
“Leave everything to Chu Lui. We have to believe in him. He isn’t who he was four years ago. I believe that he knows what he’s doing.” Chu Jiang comforted his wife. They could only watch from the sidelines.
“Alright.” Song Wan nodded her head. She gripped her husband’s hand tightly. “If Ruoxin marries into our Chu family again, would you be willing to accept her?” She wasn’t joking. Actually, she somewhat grew to like Xia Ruoxin as well. Especially after finding out that she gave birth to such an obedient grandchild for them, she liked her even more. Of course, it was actually mostly because of Rainy.
Chu Jiang didn’t have many preconceptions about this.
“As long as she’s willing, I’m fine. We have done her injustice. As long as she’s willing to marry into our family, I’ll accept her without any conditions. It’s just that, another big storm might arise when that happens. Furthermore, would she really be willing to do so?”
“I hope she’ll be willing. That way, everything would really be great.” Song Wan was expectant. However, in this world, dreams were always too far from reality.
Two similarly determined people… how much longer would they have to persevere?
…
Xia Ruoxin reached out her hand and gently caressed her daughter’s small face. She had grown a lot fatter and a lot cuter as well. Her fingers suddenly trembled slightly, and when she lowered her head, there were already teardrops on the back of her hand.
“Rainy, Mommy won’t let anybody take you away. You’re Mommy’s.” Her voice was slightly choked up. The day of the trial approached. Although Gao Yi had already hired the best lawyer, could they really win? If they lost, then she was going to lose her daughter.
“Rainy, Mommy really loves you.” She gently kissed her daughter’s small face, and tears from her two cheeks dripped onto Rainy’s face. With haste, she gently wiped them away, afraid of disturbing her daughter who was asleep. Recently, this child had been very uneasy, and she finally fell asleep just now.
Gao Yi placed his hands on her shoulder and then pulled her up. “Recently, you’ve been too nervous. Relax a little. If you continue on like this, your body won’t be able to take it. How are you going to face the Chu family then?”
Gao Yi gently patted her face. No matter what he said, she still felt that unnerving sense of nervousness. This lawsuit wasn’t an easy one, but it also didn’t exactly mean that they would lose. Everything depended on the judge’s final verdict. However, she was being too nervous about it. If this continued—even before the day of the trial, she would have already fainted first.
“I know.” Xia Ruoxin clenched her fingers together. She knew that she was in a bad condition; however, she really couldn’t stop herself. Rainy was her treasure; she really couldn’t lose her.
“Let’s head out first. Don’t wake Rainy up; otherwise, she’ll cry.”
Gao Yi held Xia Ruoxin’s hand and headed out of the room. However, the moment he saw the little fella lying on the bed asleep, a look of worry flashed across his face. He had already talked to the lawyer before. There would be no grounds for dispute if the custodial rights went to Xia Ruoxin. However, if the other party brings up matters that prove Xia Ruoxin to be unbeneficial to the child’s growth, then the child’s father would also have a high chance of gaining custodial rights in the end.
That’s why their success rate could be said to be 50-50. Nobody could know what the results would be until the end. If the results were not what they had wanted… then Ruoxin, what would you do?
He gently shut the door, not realizing that at that moment, Rainy had actually opened her eyes. She placed her two tiny hands on her own small face, and then she found her doll from beside her and hugged it.
She looked towards the door, hugging her doll a little tighter.
…
Rainy sat alone, her small hands continuously wiping away her own tears. Her two eyes were already red from crying. She was the only one sitting on the long bench outside. It was not that she didn’t want to attend nursery school; she just came out here to sit for a while.
“Why are you crying? Do you not like it here?” A voice suddenly interrupted her sobbing. She lifted her head to see a boy who was seemingly a lot older than her. She firmly lifted her small face, wanting to see the little brother who had appeared under the dim light. Until the boy walked closer step by step, stopping in front of her. She blinked her eyes and then lowered her head to look at the doll in her arms.
“Brother looks like Dolly.” She lifted the doll in her hand, showing it to the boy.
The boy suddenly pressed his thin lips together. He reached out his hand and poked the doll. The doll in Rainy’s embrace was evidently already old. If anything, he seemingly did have a slight resemblance to the doll; both he and the doll in Rainy’s hand had blond, reddish-brown hair and a pair of sky blue eyes.
He picked up the doll in Rainy’s hand, taking a few more looks at it. Then, he placed the doll back into her arms again. Dressed in a fitted suit, this child had an odd aristocratic ambiance.
He sat next to Rainy and then took out a white handkerchief from his chest pocket. He turned his head and looked at the little girl who was tightly hugging her doll. How tiny, yet very adorable. Although her eyes were red. Of course, they were red from crying.
“If you cry anymore, you’ll look ugly. I don’t like that.” He used his handkerchief to wipe Rainy’s face. Then, with a raise of his fingers, the handkerchief was thrown onto the floor.
“You have yet to tell me. Why are you crying?”
The boy put down his hands, asking Rainy who sat on the same bench as him. She had actually disturbed his rest here; however, surprisingly, he wasn’t angry.
Rainy sniffled. “Rainy doesn’t want to leave Mommy and Daddy. It’s just that Rainy’s other Daddy wants to steal Rainy away. Mommy’s crying every day, and Rainy doesn’t want that Daddy. I only want my current Daddy.”
The boy furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he listened. His unbelievably beautiful small face, at that moment, was a little grave. He was at most seven years old; however, after their first glance, one would realize that he was actually so mature that it was somewhat scary.
Rainy said a bunch of things, and he finally understood what she meant. Her parents were going to fight for custody over her.
“Do you really not want that Daddy of yours?” The boy’s fingers gently caressed his wrists as he lowered his head and asked the girl who kept crying.
As expected, girls loved to cry. However, he didn’t dislike her crying.
“Yes.” Rainy firmly nodded her head. She didn’t want that bad Daddy. She only wanted Mommy and her current Daddy. Although she really loved Grandpa and Granny as well—if she had to choose, she would rather not have them.
