Chapter 400 - You are Truly Made for Each Other (1/2)

”Daddy.” Rainy was waving her hand at Gao Yi who was not far away from them. He was here to pick them up. She ran happily towards him.

Gao Yi stretched his hands out to carry Rainy, and he kissed her on her little cheek. ”Looks like you have been a good girl.”

”Mmm. Yes.” Rainy nodded her head hard. She had cheered up considerably. Xia Ruoxin carried her heavy bag, feeling touched and speechless.

Actually, what Rainy needed was so much more than just a mother even though she felt her heart aching. In the past, Rainy belonged to her alone. Now, she had to share her daughter with so many people. However, she remained smiling because her daughter was becoming increasingly cheerful by the day.

She liked her current lifestyle, too. There was no infighting, and every day was peaceful and simple. Yet, in this world, there was bound to have someone who would try to make her life difficult.

Take now for example. She was only getting herself a cup of water. Her hand had barely touched the cup when she heard a bang.

”Do you want something?” she asked simply without any happiness or anger. There was nothing at all. Whatever had happened was none of her business.

Li Manni was jealous of Xia Ruoxin fair complexion. Although she had given birth before, how was it possible for her to have achieved such good skin? While freckles had started appearing on Li Manni's face, the doctor had assured her that it was due to her pregnancy. She should learn to lighten up her mood.

What a joke. Lighten up? How was she supposed to do that?

She was surrounded by enemies at all fronts.

Privately, they were all dying to take over her. How was she supposed to relax and care solely for the baby in her stomach? If she wasn't constantly on the alert, who knew what kind of person would try to disrupt her life, especially this restless woman?

She opened her purse, took out a credit card, and tossed it on the table. ”There are two million dollars. Take it.”

Xia Ruoxin didn't even bother to look at the card. It was as if the card was useless compared to the glass in her hand. She raised the cup to her lips and drank all the water, allowing it to flow down her throat moisturizing her laryngopharynx, her lungs, and every other part of her body.

She swung the cup in her hand and smiled. That smile infuriated Li Manni more, and she almost slammed her hands on the table. She took a deep breath and told herself to be calm. She needed to be calm. She must not allow others to confuse her. Otherwise, they would have the advantage.

”Xia Ruoxin, I don't know what your motive for coming back here is. Did you think of using your daughter to obtain a share of the Chu family's assets? You can stop your wishful thinking.” She sneered as she rubbed her hand against her stomach. ”I am pregnant. You are a mother, too. You should know that a mother is the strongest human being in this world. Regardless of whether your daughter is dead or alive, you will never touch a single cent belonging to the Chu family.”

Xia Ruoxin's fingers twitched slightly. Li Manni's words seemed irrelevant—without a beginning or an end, and yet, she would hear that this was her way of threatening her.

The meaning was clear: if Xia Ruoxin was to stand in Li Manni's way, then the latter would not be responsible for what she would do.
