Chapter 503 - Who Bullied Who (2/2)

Chu Xiang was crying the entire journey home. Even as they entered the house, Chu Xiang was still shedding tears. Upon seeing her granddaughter crying, Song Wan briefly took her into her arms. She cursed at Chu Lui full blast, saying that he had no humanity left in him, bullying a child who was so young.

Chu Lui could not understand how he was inhumane. It was not as if he had not tried to coax Chu Xiang; it was just that as much as he tried to console her, she would not stop crying. He was a grown man who had never interacted with such young children before. How was he expected to know how to stop her from crying?

Song Wan kept nagging at her son even while she was comforting her granddaughter. It was only after she gave Chu Xiang quite a few presents that the child finally stopped crying. Seeing Chu Xiang's face red and swollen like a bun from crying, Chu Lui indeed could not help but feel slightly at fault.

No matter what, she was just a child.

However, Chu Lui now kept in mind that buying gifts made children happy and prevented them from crying. He asked Du Jingtang to buy a pile of toys and send them to Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang now had new toys. For those few days, she was quite happy.

One day, when Chu Xiang went home, she hugged Song Wan and started wailing.

”What's wrong, my lovely granddaughter? Tell Granny, who bullied you?” Once Song Wan saw her granddaughter cry, she became all anxious. Which gutsy individual dared to bully her granddaughter?

”Granny, it was Rainy Gao; it was Rainy Gao! She was the one who bullied me.”

Chu Xiang tugged at Song Wan's hands, her mouth constantly repeating the name Rainy Gao.

”Ah Lui!” Song Wan's expression darkened. ”Are you not going to check on this? Your daughter is getting bullied by others; is the Chu family so easy to bully?”

Upon hearing Rainy Gao's name, Chu Lui instinctively felt repulsed by Gao Yi's daughter. Despite this, Chu Lui still had no plans of doing anything to a child. This was a feud between children; what were a.d.u.l.ts getting involved for?

However, from Song Wan's determined appearance, he knew that this problem would not be resolved easily. He had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and head to the balcony. He called the director of the nursery to ask for an explanation.

After a while, he headed back into the room. Song Wan was still painstakingly consoling Chu Xiang, listening to sentence after sentence of Chu Xiang's complaints towards Rainy Gao.

”Ah Lui, which family is Rainy Gao from? How did her parents teach her? At only three-years-old, how could she already be so scheming?”

Chu Lui's line of sight landed on Chu Xiang, causing Chu Xiang to instinctively snuggle into Song Wan's embrace.

”Mom, Xiang Xiang told you all that?” Chu Lui leaned against the sofa, crossed his leg, and—seemingly inadvertently—asked the question.

”Of course, it was our Xiang Xiang who told me everything. Our Xiang Xiang is such a well-behaved kid. If she says someone is bad, then that person is definitely bad.”

”Really?” Chu Lui slightly pressed his lips together. Although he looked like he was smiling, anybody who was familiar with him would know that that was simply his usual expression, nothing more than a fake smile.

”Mom, I already know the reason.” Before Song Wan could open her mouth to nag at him again, Chu Lui interrupted Song Wan.

”Tell me about it.” Song Wan's expression darkened. ”I will not let my granddaughter get bullied.”

”Mom, you only see your own granddaughter as a child, but aren't children from other families considered children, too?” Chu Lui reminded Song Wan. Even though he was not a very righteous guy and that his previous methods were rather underhanded—but regarding certain things, he still had his own morals.

Song Wan's face stiffened, seemingly upset. Her expression hardened, and she started to ignore her son.

”Mom, have you forgotten about the time you ordered me to make Chu Xiang the champion of the drawing competition?”
