Chapter 500 - You Never Know (1/2)

Xia Ruoxin ruffled Rainy's hair and smiled at the teacher. So it was because of that.

As for what the teacher said and what kind of person Chu Xiang would turn out to be in the future, it was none of her business. How the Chu family wanted to raise their adopted daughter was their problem.

”Baby, let's go home.” Xia Ruoxin lifted her daughter off the ground and carried her out of the school. The wind was bitingly cold, but there were times when the cold wasn't important.

”Rainy, do you want to get first place?”

Xia Ruoxin asked her daughter.

”Mhm, I want it.” Rainy nodded. ”First place receives flowers. I want to give the flowers to Mommy as a present.”

”Is that so…?” Xia Ruoxin stopped in her tracks. She freed one hand and adjusted her daughter's clothes. Then, she wrapped Rainy up with her own clothes.

”Mommy doesn't want flowers. I'm fine with just your drawing. Mommy knows that my Rainy had come in first so Mummy wants the drawing and not the flowers.”

”But there are still no flowers.” Rainy bit her lip lightly. The precocious child already had a hunch. It was the bad uncle and the granny.

She shrunk into her mother's embrace, reluctant to attend school anymore.

When they returned home, Gao Yi noticed Rainy's unhappiness and carried her off the ground, questioning her. Rainy couldn't keep it in and rattled on for a long time without clearing things up, making Gao Yi befuddled.

”Let me say it.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter again and patted her shoulders lightly. She lowered her head, coming eye-to-eye with the child's innocent eyes. At times, she really wanted to keep these bright eyes void of troubles they shouldn't have.

Gao Yi turned to listen and placed his fingers on the table. His index finger lifted and tapped softly on the table.

”It's actually nothing much.” Xia Ruoxin chuckled, and Rainy cracked a smile towards her, too. Then, she closed her eyes, ready to sleep.

She told everything that had unfolded to Gao Yi.

He sneered after listening to the whole story.

”If he knew that he had snatched the first place from Rainy, I wonder if he'd vomit out of regret.”

”I don't know if he'd want to vomit?” Xia Ruoxin caressed her daughter's small face. ”I'm just grateful that Rainy wasn't brought up by their family. Before anything else, I will raise her to be a decent and righteous person at least. I won't let her engage in immoral acts and become a twisted branch that could never be straightened again.”

Gao Yi reached out and squeezed Rainy's hand. ”She is very obedient. She'll grow up to be a good and healthy girl.”

”Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin hugged her daughter tightly in her arms. Her eyes stung with tears. Those words were more moving and more heartwarming than any others. She did not wish for anything else, just for her daughter to grow up healthy without any calamity.

Gao Yi sat nearer and wrapped the mother and daughter in his embrace, giving them a piece of serene sky. Here, there was no wind or rain, no suffering or disasters.

Meanwhile, at the Chu household, Chu Xiang placed a small bouquet of flowers in front of Chu Lui.

”For me?” Chu Lui asked Chu Xiang. He wasn't that interested in flowers. Often, he was the one giving women flowers. This was the first time a female had given him one.

Despite that this female being relatively younger.

Chu Xiang smiled bashfully and placed the flowers in Chu Lui's hand.
