Chapter 412 - Bullying A Child (2/2)

She was Chu Lui's mother-in-law, but Song Wan was Chu Lui's biological mother. Even a fool knows who the more superior one here was.

Song Wan patted the dirt off of the little child carefully. The child's wide eyes were extremely red as she stared unblinking.

”Okay. All clean.” Song Wan smiled and said, but she was shocked when she took a good look at the child's face. Even though the child's eyes were swollen like a rabbit's from crying, Song Wan recognized the face in one glance.

”Rainy, you're Rainy?” Song Wan rested her fingers on Rainy's cheeks, which was red in the shape of fingers. It was obvious someone had pinched her.

Rainy also recognized the beautiful granny. She was with Uncle at that time, and since Uncle was a good guy, Granny was a good person, too.

”Tell me, does it hurt?” Song Wan cradled the child's cheeks gently, her heart twinging at the child's mistreated expression.

”Granny, Rainy isn't hurt.” Her cute and childish voice made Song Wan hug the sensible child closer. She stared at Mrs. Li in disapproval. ”Mother-in-law, the child is still young. Even if she had done something wrong, that's no way to treat her. It's just a child's words, after all. What can they know?”

Song Wan's tone was unexpectedly strict, making Mrs. Li's face flush and pale at the same time. They were both about the same age, and this was the first time she was reprimanded by Song Wan. She felt humiliated.

”That's not it.” Mrs. Li shook her head immediately as she explained herself. ”Mother-in-law, you misunderstood. I wanted to help the child up, but I didn't make it in time.” Her forehead broke out in cold sweat, and her face paled even more.

Darn that pesky brat, making her lose face like this.

Song Wan stayed silent and caressed Rainy's cheeks. She had seen everything Mrs. Li had done with her own eyes. She was the one who pushed the child down, and she refused to admit it now?

Mrs. Li waited for a long time before saying, with difficulty, ”In-law, it's time we go to the mall. Manni might already be there waiting for us. We should be looking for our own grandchild. After all, this child is someone else's. We've been here for too long.”

She did not want to stay here any longer. It made her feel even more humiliated, and she felt more stifled and pressured with every passing moment.

What's more, how could someone else's child be more important than one's own?

Song Wan put down the child on the ground and rubbed her hair softly. ”Rainy, Granny is leaving. I'll come visit you again if there is a chance.”

Rainy nodded slightly, but she sniffled. Her eyes reddened a little more.

The child's reddened eyes made Song Wan heart twinge, strangely. She stood up and followed Mrs. Li out hurriedly.

”Bye bye, Granny.” Rainy waved her little hand. Song Wan's footsteps faltered as she looked back at the little girl with red eyes, which told her that she was crying, along with her occasional sniffles.

She was but a three-year-old child.
