Chapter 395 - Clarify (2/2)

Not long later, Xia Ruoxin took out her key from her bag and opened the door. She walked in, took out a pair of slippers, and put it on the floor.

”They're new. I haven't worn those yet; I just bought it.”

She finished and took out another pair. It was her old pair, and she was about to throw it.

”Thank you.” Song Wan slid her feet into the shoes, still feeling awkward.

”You're welcome.” Xia Ruoxin smiled gently and entered, but as she turned around, her eyes landed on the shoe cabinet. She didn't know whether Song Wan had noticed some things belonging to a child, but it didn't matter if she found out anyway. It was not something that could be hidden forever.

Song Wan could tell that Xia Ruoxin wasn't feeling hospitable, but she just entered with thick skin and sat on the sofa.

”Auntie, do you want water or juice?”

Xia Ruoxin asked Song Wan. Even though she didn't really like the guest, it was still basic respect to serve a glass of water to a guest in the house. She hadn't gone so far that she forgot all her manners, and Song Wan hadn't really done anything to her before so she wasn't feeling resentful towards Song Wan.

”Water is fine,” Song Wan replied awkwardly. Her eyes were glued at Xia Ruoxin. It had been four years, but she still appeared the same with her slim body and clear skin. Perhaps it was because she seldom put on make-up so her skin remained white and tender like a baby's. In contrast, Li Manni put on too much make-up and ate too much good food so when she removed her make-up, her bare face instantly paled. Even though she invested a lot of money towards her face, the results were minimal.

Song Wan had to admit that Xia Ruoxin was indeed blessed in this aspect. Her looks made it hard for people to hate and gave her a graceful air. Of course, her skin was extremely good, and not all women could achieve that no matter how much they want it. Sometimes, even she envied her for her skin. She never had skin like that even when she was young. Xia Ruoxin would probably look much younger that people her age even when she reached forty-five.

Xia Ruoxin carried two glasses of water over, one for herself and the other for Song Wan.

”Thank you.” Song Wan took a glass and sipped from it. Water didn't have any taste. It was only meant for filling one's gut.

Xia Ruoxin took her own glass and looked down slightly. The indoor lights hit softly on her face, highlighting the gentleness in her eyes.

She looked like a beautiful young lady of noble birth, but her humility was really something most people lacked. Song Wan claimed that she had met a lot of people like in her social circle where most came from well-known families or graduated from famous overseas universities, and Xia Ruoxin was neither of a known family or a good school—or even a good educational background, but she emanated an air of affinity that made people like her. It was no wonder her son—

When that thought crossed her mind, she sighed softly inwardly. If only those things didn't happen.
