Chapter 501 - Where Did the Child Come From (2/2)

In the end, the two of them started to feel a little awkward as their conversation dragged on. They had nothing more to say to each other; therefore, Li Manni could only hang up the phone. She called another person that she knew. However, that person didn't even bother picking up before ending the call. She took a deep breath and told herself to put up with it. She had to put up with it. It was only after several phone calls that she finally managed to get some information she wanted.

For example, where did that child come from?

Scoff. Thinking of this made her want to laugh because it was just too laughable. He didn't want his own child, and yet he went to adopt another child. What she really wanted to know now was how remorseful the Chu family was going to be in the future.

However, speaking of the word 'remorse', it seemed like the person who was supposed to have the most remorse was nobody else but her.

She placed her hand on her own stomach, impulsively really wanting to just smash that lowlife inside her out of her body. However, just as she raised her hand, a man appeared from nowhere and grabbed her hand.

The moment she saw the man's face, blood quickly retracted from her already pale face.

A devilish smile appeared on the man's face, deeply stabbing at Li Manni's weak heart. 'Thump, thump, thump.' Her heart started beating wildly, and her hands and legs went numb.

At that moment, she felt a sense of fear, the kind of fear people felt on the verge of death.

…

”Mommy, will Rainy's hair grow long?” Rainy pointed to her own reflection in the mirror. Her hair was still short and fuzzy.

”It'll grow.” Xia Ruoxin carefully caressed her daughter's hair. A large and small head gently leaned against each other. ”You see, Mommy's hair is short, too. It'll grow out in no time.”

Rainy reached out her little fist, valiantly waving it in the air.

”Mommy, keep it up! Let's grow long hair and become pretty.”

”Yes. Let's become pretty.”

Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter down from the chair and placed a hat on her.

”Mommy, am I not going to school?” Rainy hadn't been to school for a very long time. She tip-toed on her tiny feet, lifting her face to ask her mother. Although she could play with dolls every day because she didn't go to school, she also couldn't learn anything because she didn't go to school. This meant that she wasn't going to be able to buy dolls for her mother in the future.

”Not these days.” Xia Ruoxin picked her daughter up and prepared to bring her to Gao Yi's place. School, that place… it was actually optional; but that Chu family's adoptive child made her feel uneasy. She was afraid that she would bully Rainy together with the Chu family. She had never known that children could actually have enemies.

It had been a long time since she brought her daughter to the studio. Bringing her there after such a long time, everybody started playing with her and pinching her cheeks. Nobody had the mood to listen properly to the lesson. It was only when Su Li gave them a glare that all of them started to settle down.

Rainy also picked up her paintbrush and started painting on her paper.

She drew extremely seriously, her entire face exuding a focused expression. Her lips pressed together as well. Her totally absorbed look made people not know whether to cry or laugh.
