Chapter 505 - The Child Dropped Out of School (1/2)

The second day, Song Wan took lessons with her granddaughter again. The director had told her many times that doing so would affect the other children, but Song Wan had already steeled her resolve. She was going to sit next to her granddaughter, and nothing was going to stop her.

”Teacher, is Rainy Gao not in school today?” Xiao Pangzi was upset the entire morning because he had not seen his favorite younger sister Rainy Gao for two days.

”Our friend Rainy Gao is facing some trouble at home, and that is why she will not be attending school for now.” Teacher Xiao Meng announced with a smile on her face. In reality, however, she could not help but sigh to herself. Children are just children; they're very simple-minded. It would be better if she did not tell them that Rainy Gao would not be attending this school ever again.

Once Chu Xiang heard that Rainy Gao would not be attending school, her lips unintentionally curled upwards. She saw this as her victory. From then on, she would not have to look at that face prettier than hers anymore.

It was just that for unknown reasons—at that moment, Song Wan felt a bit uneasy. A sense of discomfort washed over her entire body. It was as if those numerous pairs of innocent eyes were filled with condemn for her.

By the time she got home, Chu Jiang was still a little taken aback.

”What happened, you're back early today. I thought you wanted to accompany your granddaughter?”

”She's your granddaughter, too.” Song Wan weakly corrected Chu Jiang. What did he mean 'your granddaughter'? Right now, Xiang Xiang was a child of the Chu family. Did this pair of father and son perhaps have some opinions about the child that she chose?

”I didn't say she wasn't.”

Chu Jiang was not going to argue for the sake of arguing. If she said yes, then yes; if she said no, then no.

”Hey!” Song Wan walked towards Chu Jiang and took a seat in front of him. ”I feel like I did something wrong.”

”Okay, tell me about it. I'll listen.” Chu Jiang would always lend a listening ear to Song Wan. He was her vent bucket. Whenever anything undesirable happened, she could just pour everything out to him.

Song Wan found it difficult to start talking. In the end, she still told Chu Jiang about everything that happened the previous day. After this, she stood up, rubbing her hand from time to time. ”I didn't do it on purpose, but somehow, those words just flew out of my mouth. By the time I realized what I had said, it was already too late. I couldn't take it back.

”I really didn't know that it was so cold outside the classroom. It definitely wasn't that cold when I was walking in. Yet, the kid hasn't been going to school. She couldn't have fallen ill, right?”

Chu Jiang sighed. ”You”—he shook his head—”are not suited to be the bad guy. So why do you always have to take on the role of a villain? Both you and your son.”

Once again, Song Wan's face flushed. This was a slap in the face, in her face.

The following day—when she sent her granddaughter to school, Song wan secretly asked if Rainy Gao was in school.

”She's not in school?” Chu Xiang looked up and pulled Song Wan's sleeve. ”Why are you asking about her? She is a bad kid.”

”It's nothing. It was just a random question.” Song Wan patted her granddaughter's cheek. ”Go on in. Granny will be here to pick you up in the afternoon.”

”Okay.” Chu Xiang walked into the nursery with a bounce in every step, and Song Wan's smile crumbled. She headed to the director's office, specifically to inquire about Rainy Gao.

The director found it weird. Why was the Chu family always asking about Rainy Gao?
