Chapter 477 - She Refused to Acknowledge Her (2/2)

Alas, Rainy was reaching out for head to arrange her sun hat. While she was doing that, she turned away and buried her face into her mother's chest. She was good at reading someone from their body language. If her mother disliked a person, she would do the same. She was sensitive enough to know her mother disliked this auntie so she wouldn't speak to her, too. She only wanted her mother.

Shen Yijun's felt embarrassed as she retracted her hand from mid-air.

”Xinxin, please take the card,” she said while she tried to shove the card into Xia Ruoxin's hand. Xia Ruoxin had her hands full, carrying her daughter. It was getting more embarrassing for Shen Yijun and her card.

”Xinxin, are you really unwilling to forgive me?”

Shen Yijun knew there was no possibility of Xia Ruoxin forgiving her. Naturally, she wouldn't accept the card as well. Couldn't she forgive her mother's selfishness and fear from the past on account of her advanced age?

”I'm sorry, Mrs. Xia. I won't accept your money.” Xia Ruoxin said sarcastically through her tightly pursed lips. ”Neither will I take anything that belongs to the Xia family.” She was never a part of the Xia household so there was no reason for her to accept things from them. Whatever she owed including the food and lodging they had given her, she had repaid them in abundance throughout all these years. She had also repaid the Chu family whatever she had owed them so she was no longer in anyone's debt.

She carried her daughter and thought of how small the world was. All she did was bring her daughter out to play in the sun, and she encountered someone she was unwilling to see. Take Shen Yijun for example… or anyone from the Chu family.

”Oh. Ruoxin, is that you?” Song Wan saw Xia Ruoxin from afar, and she was approaching her subconsciously.

Is Mommy playing a game with me? Rainy remembered her mother's instruction. She buried her face into Xia Ruoxin's chest, unwilling to meet anyone.

Xia Ruoxin nodded at Song Wan, but she never stopped to leave the place.

Song Wan was embarrassed. Actually, she had wanted to chat, and yet Xia Ruoxin was treating her with indifference as though she didn't matter. On second thought, she knew she deserved it considering the way her family had treated her. She wasn't in the position to blame anyone. If she wanted to do that, there was a long list of people she could do that to.

Song Wan came over and sat beside Shen Yijun.

”What happened? She refused to acknowledge you as her mother?” A sigh. Song Wan was at a loss at how she should console Shen Yijun. Now that their relationship was broken, it wouldn't be easy to go back to how things had been. Ruoxin might look soft on the outside, but she had a stubborn streak in her. She was a person who firmly believed in her own ideas even if that might result in her death. She would forge ahead and not look back.

”Yes. She refused.” Shen Yijun kept the card back into her purse and kept it in her bag as though nothing was wrong.

”The child in Ruoxin's arms looked obedient. I believe her effort in raising her will not go in vain.” Song Wan said in a hurry to diffuse the awkward atmosphere.
