Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 597
Chapter 597: Bullying the Child
“Is Auntie pretty, or is your Mommy pretty? She asked again. This time, she didn’t bother faking a smile anymore. Actually, instead of a question, it was more of a threat.
Rainy blinked her eyes. “Mommy,” she answered honestly. In her eyes, her mother was the prettiest mother in the world.
“Say again?” Bai Luoyin was very unsatisfied with Rainy’s answer. Was that woman as young as her? Was she as pretty as her? Furthermore, she had even given birth to a child. How could she ever be compared to her—Bai Luoyin?
“Mommy,” Rainy said again. No matter how many times Bai Luoyin asked, it was the same—she would say that her mother was prettier, insist that her mother was prettier. Actually, in the child’s heart, her mother was naturally the prettiest.
“Then tell me, is your mother bringing you—this little bastard’s child—around to deliberately approach Gao Yi? Does she really not have any other man to look for? Is that why she has no choice but to look for my man?” she asked ferociously. She had already forgotten that the person standing in front of her wasn’t an adult but a child who completely couldn’t understand her words.
Rainy tilted her head. She was unable to comprehend Bai Luoyin’s words; however, those words ‘bastard’s child’ made her feel extremely upset. She tightly hugged the doll in her arms and turned around to leave. Bad Auntie, Rainy’s not going to care about her. However, just as she took a step, there was a sudden tension on her scalp. It hurt so bad that her eyes instantly turned red, whereas Bai Luoyin had already grabbed onto the braids that her mother had combed neatly for her.
“It hurts, that really hurts. Don’t pull on Rainy’s hair!” She hit Bai Luoyin’s hand from time to time as tears endlessly fell from her eyes like ‘pit-pat’, ‘pit-pat’. Her small face was red as well, and she looked unbelievably pitiful.
However, right now, Bai Luoyin was smiling instead. She couldn’t find the mother to vent her anger, but now that small one came about, she didn’t mind making do with this. She didn’t consider herself as a psycho who bullied three-year-old children because who asked this child to be that woman’s daughter? That’s why she could only say that she deserved it. If Rainy wasn’t that woman’s child, she wouldn’t even bother sparing another glance at her. She was so unbelievably ugly.
“Let go of me.” Rainy small hands kept smacking at Bai Luoyin’s hand, and her hair was pulled even tighter, making her cry harder as well.
Bai Luoyin’s hands moved downwards, instantly snatching away the doll that Rainy hugged tightly in her arms. Rainy hugged her head with one hand and reached out her other small hand.
“Give Dolly back to Rainy.” Give her doll back to her. It was hers; Mommy gave it to her.
“Alright, I’ll give it back to you.” Bai Luoyin sneered and threw the doll away with ease. That small doll was thrown out just like that. The doll fell onto the ground mixed with mud and rainwater.
“Dolly…” Rainy blinked her eyes. A large teardrop fell from her eyes, and her tiny legs started running towards her doll. However, her small body was tightly pulled into an embrace by somebody.
“Rainy wants Dolly, wants Dolly.” She ceaselessly cried out. She wailed extremely loudly, her hoarse voice using strength as well.
“Be good, Mommy’s here. Dolly will be fine.” The person who held her back wasn’t anyone else but Xia Ruoxin who had been looking for daughter. If she hadn’t heard her daughter’s wailing, she wouldn’t have known where to look for her daughter.
She took off her own clothes and wrapped her daughter’s tiny body in them. Then, she gently wiped away her daughter’s tears. Rainy’s small face was red from crying, and her two eyes had become red as well. It made her heart ache a lot.
“Mommy, Dolly.” Rainy stuck her face closely to Xia Ruoxin’s chest. Upon seeing her mother, she started crying with even more sorrow and even more misery.
Bai Luoyin simply watched on indifferently at the side, with a pleased smile on her face. They were suffering; of course, she was happy. Otherwise, she would really have done herself injustice. Who asked them to steal everything from her? This was what they deserved. Don’t forget, this place was the Bai family’s; this was her territory. How could there be another woman in her territory?
In this house, any woman that she—Bai Luoyin—disliked, even if it was the nanny, it was impossible for them to stay.
“Mommy, Dolly…” Rainy pointed to her doll in the rain, her tiny body incessantly struggling. She wanted to go save her doll. “Mommy, Dolly’s very cold.” She flattened her mouth as she spoke. Xia Ruoxin used her sleeves to wipe her daughter’s small face as she gently smiled at her. “Rainy, just stay here, Mommy will go save Rainy’s doll. Be good, Rainy. Mommy will definitely save your doll.” After she finished speaking, she gently rubbed her daughter’s soft hair and simply took a glance at the downpour outside. The rain was extremely heavy, and the raindrops—when it hit against people, it hurt a lot.
She ran outside, and the rain—which seemingly covered the entire sky—made her unable to open her eyes. She felt that her face was in a lot of pain, and so were her eyes and heart. Rainy bit her own nails as her tiny legs took a step forward. However, in the end, she stood in her place while her eyes turned red. Mommy said before that Rainy must be good. I must be good. That’s why I cannot go out. Otherwise, Mommy will get angry.
Xia Ruoxin placed her hands over her head. Then, she ran out to the place where the doll had been tossed to. The rain ceaselessly fell onto the doll’s body. The once beautiful doll was drenched, and the doll’s pretty skirt was dirtied as well.
She hastily picked up the doll on the floor and hugged the doll in her embrace. She didn’t even care whether the already drenched doll would make her clothes wet. By the time she ran back again, the clothes on her body were actually already pretty much as drenched as the doll just as if they were soaked in water. Drops of water even dripped continuously from her hair. A puddle of water was beside her legs as well. She squatted down, hugging the doll in her arms instead.
“Rainy, the doll’s wet. Mommy will help you dry it later, okay?” She wiped the water on her hands firmly against her clothes. However, she realized that no matter how much she wiped, she couldn’t clean her hands because her entire body was covered with water.
Her clothes had long been drenched.
Rainy obediently nodded her head. However, when she saw that her mother and her doll were already drenched from head to toe, tears couldn’t stop falling from her eyes.
Xia Ruoxin wiped her hands again, and then she held her daughter’s small hands. “Rainy, go back with Mommy. This place is very cold.” She did not care about the drenched clothes on her body at all. In her eyes, there was only her daughter crying from time to time. Her other hand that held the doll felt extremely laden and heavy; it was also very icy and cold.
Rainy nodded her head. Her small hand was gripped very tightly by Xia Ruoxin.
Xia Ruoxin stood up and walked past Bai Luoyin who had been standing at the side, enjoying the show the entire time. Bai Luoyin suddenly laughed and sized up Xia Ruoxin with a thick sense of disdain. “You sure look shabby. Say, if Yi saw you like that, would he still like you?”
