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

”Mrs. Song, I'm afraid I cannot help you.” The director could only express his regret for being unable to help her with this issue. ”That child has dropped out of school.”

”Dropped out?” Song Wan's sense of guilt instantaneously thickened.

”Why did she drop out? Wasn't she sick?” She carefully inquired, afraid to hear that the child fell sick because of what happened that day. She was not ready to bear that responsibility.

”She wasn't.” The director could not understand Song Wan's internal struggle. He spoke gradually, making Song Wan unbearably anxious, ”That child could be migrating soon. There were already plans for her to leave school. Her parents came to inform us about it a few days ago.”

”Why, is there any reason Mrs. Song is looking for her?” The director asked, finding it strange. ”I could give you the child's address and her parent's contact number.”

”That's alright. I was just asking.” Song Wan laughed forcefully. After she left the office, she felt relieved. Thankfully, the girl did not drop out because of her. As for what had happened, Song Wan did not take it to heart. Although she still felt slightly apologetic—in due time, that would also be quickly forgotten.

Chu Xiang had clearly become the precious first daughter of the Chu family. Although she was adopted, she still managed to gain Song Wan's favor; and Chu Lui accepted her, too. Therefore, as long as she did not have any big issues—for her entire life, she would be recognized as the eldest daughter of the Chu family and Chu Lui's daughter.

Somewhere far away, Gao Yi held Rainy's hand and headed towards the market. Rainy blinked her eyes from time to time. Her short hair smoothly stuck onto her ears, seemingly soft as cotton.

”Daddy, will Mommy be happy to see Rainy?”

”What do you think?” Gao Yi returned the question. He walked extremely slowly, matching the pace of her little legs.

”Mommy will definitely be happy because Mommy loves Rainy the most.” Rainy nodded her head slightly vigorously. Furthermore, Rainy was very well-behaved. She finished all the homework that Mommy asked her to finish before asking Daddy to bring her out.

She hugged her doll tightly and rubbed her face against it. Then, she looked down at the doll in her arms. ”Daddy, my doll got dirty.” She passed her doll over to Gao Yi for him to check.

Gao Yi gently ruffled her soft hair. The doll was not dirty; it was just old. No matter how good something was—after being used for a long time, it would start to seem old. ”Daddy will buy you a new one, okay?”

Rainy shook her head and squeezed her doll. This doll was her most precious possession; there was no way she would want a new doll. Rainy only needed one doll. Plus, her doll was just dirty. If she threw away her doll, her doll would be very sad.

Gao Yi simply raised his eyebrows; this child sure was a devoted one.

The sun was setting in the distance, and soon enough, it was night.

Chu Lui stopped the car, took out a cigarette, and lit it. His black eyes narrowed as he blew out clouds of smoke, almost seeming like he was squinting.

He habitually puffed out smoke while narrowing his eyes. When suddenly, a small figure caught his eye. It was a really small child with a doll in her arms. His eyes widened, and immediately after, he opened the car door.

In a distance, a child turned around, seemingly searching for something.

That child had a small face and only a few strands of hair grew on her head. Her round and large eyes were distinctively black, almost like black gemstones. There was a mix of blue within the black that could only be seen if one looked carefully at her eyes. This was an extremely beautiful child, and her parents probably had good genes too. Otherwise, there was no way they could give birth to such a beautiful child.
