Chapter 490 - Xiang Xiang (1/2)

”You could go and visit the orphanage again, and if there's a kid who catches your eye, you could always adopt another one.” Chu Jiang did not have any objections, for—besides Song Wan's persistence—he also wanted to adopt one more child. Just like what Chu Lui said, it was just another child; they could always afford the costs. If it could make his wife happier and smile frequently, the extra costs would be worth it.

”I understand, Dad.” Chu Lui stood up. He prepared to rest. The shoulder injury was torturing him, and that man had said that resting more might lead to recovery faster. Chu Lui obviously wanted to recover faster, for the tasks that were waiting for him in the company were already piling up. If he did not have good health, then how could he earn more money, how could he support such a huge company, and how could he take care of the livelihoods of so many employees?

Furthermore, Song Wan brought Chu Xiang to the shopping mall to buy stuff. She carried multiple shopping bags, buying things for Chu Xiang, and obviously not even looking at the price tag. As long as she liked it, she would make a purchase.

”Oh, Yijun, it's you?”

Song Wan was slightly shocked, for she didn't expect to see anyone familiar here.

Indeed, what a coincidence. Shen Yijun smiled at Song Wan, but it was lacking the sense of familiarity like before. She was ashamed to meet her daughter, much less anyone from the Chu family.

”This child is…” She saw Song Wan continuously holding onto a girl's hand, whose age seemed to be similar to Rainy. Furthermore, there were so many things, presumably all bought for the child. Then, this should be a child of the Chu family or their relatives? She didn't hear of anything previously.

”This child…” Song Wan lifted Chu Xiang and carried her as if showing her off to Shen Yijun, ”This is the grandchild I adopted from the orphanage. I was wishing for a grandchild like mad, but I didn't know when our Ah Lui would give me one. Since I felt some kind of connection with this child, I adopted her. I'm a grandmother now.” Speaking of which, she started to laugh, not hiding her liking for Chu Xiang.

Shen Yijun calmly listened and looked. ”The child is pretty. I have other things to settle, you guys go on.” She didn't say much, turning away and walking a different direction from Song Wan.

She wondered who the blind one was, for their own grandchild was just nearby; but they never showered her with love before. Rainy was her granddaughter, much prettier than that kid from an unknown background.

However, the Chu family could adopt as many as they want. This was better and prevented them from having any ideas on her granddaughter. Ruoxin was always lonely and had no one to rely on, and as her mother, she didn't do much for her. Since Ruoxin wanted her to keep it a secret, she would.

Song Wan sighed, for she also knew that her relationship between Shen Yijun and herself was dwindling. It would probably be so for the two families in the future.

”Let's go, Xiang Xiang. Granny will bring you to buy clothes.” Song Wan lowered her head and pecked Chu Xiang. She gathered her energy and brought her granddaughter about to buy things. She wanted to pour all her yearnings for a grandchild for the past few years into giving everything to Chu Xiang.

”Okay,” Chu Xiang obediently agreed. Her red cheeks recently increased in size, and she was changing clothes one after another, behaving like a rich little missy.

Song Wan continued to buy many things for Chu Xiang: the clothes, toys, snacks, and more could fill an entire car. Back at home, there were piles and piles of things, making Chu Jiang feel unbearable.

The wife that he had spent a lifetime with, after gaining a granddaughter, didn't want him anymore.
