140 She Needed Money (1/2)

She was mentally rejecting this daughter. However emotionally, their mother-daughter bond could not be broken. It was just that she was too upset. Too angry.

She had wanted to go after her, but she realized there was no one in sight.

It continued to rain for the whole day. Xia Ruoxin hid in an abandoned warehouse. She had been spending her nights there recently without any money or clothes. She was penniless.

She hugged herself tightly, cowering in a corner. The pain in her left arm was unbearable so she placed her right hand over it.

The occasional wind brought some rain into the warehouse. At times, one could hear the gut-wrenching cries of a woman.

The same rain and wind brought her cold—despair. However, it was not the case for some.

In the premium hospital ward…

There was a faint smell from the flowers placed in a vase. It was a fresh bouquet of Oriental Lily.

Li Manni leaned into Chu Lui's chest as he held her carefully, worried about hurting her.

”Lui, are you serious? No one will say I'm a third party or homewrecker?” She looked up at him emotionally. He was really nice to her. She might have been a bit cruel towards Xia Ruoxin, but for the sake of their happiness, she could see no other way.

”Yes. I will hold a grand ceremony when you marry me. Nothing less than what you deserve.” Chu Lui bowed as he coaxed the woman in his arms. As his lips moved, the look in his eyes became unusually gloomy.

It seemed like for the past few days, he had been very unhappy. He felt as though he was carrying out some routine responsibilities similar to holding meetings—a meeting that was well-organized with clear agenda.

Even when meeting with Li Manni, he could barely get himself to behave more lively.
