Chapter 510 - They All Found Out (1/2)
”Aunty Song, do you remember?” Xia Ruoxin's lips curled slightly into a cold and distant smile. Then, she pulled her hands away, taking in a deep breath. ”The reason you agreed to my divorce with Chu Lui back then… you haven't forgotten it, right? Wasn't it because of that incident that you advised me to leave?
”I am unable to bear children so let me ask you, how could I possibly have a child? Aunty Song, this really is not an appropriate joke. Don't you feel that all of you are very cruel? You robbed me of my fertility, and yet you still have the audacity to be here right now, asking me if I gave birth—if I gave birth to the child of the Chu family?”
Xia Ruoxin was smiling, but really… she didn't want to. She knew very well that Chu Lui had already told Song Wan about Rainy. The Chu family probably all knew about her, too.
It was just that Rainy was hers. She would never be the Chu family's.
Song Wan felt ashamed after hearing Xia Ruoxin's words. However, she refused to let go of Xia Ruoxin's hands. ”Ruoxin, I know that you have a grudge against us, but you can't deny that that child is related to us by blood. Couldn't you just overlook this on the account that Uncle and Aunty Chu are already so old and let us see the child? We already lost three years with that child.”
Three years, how many precious moments with their granddaughter had they missed?
She really didn't know that Xia Ruoxin was pregnant at that time. If she had known, she would have protected her as if her life had depended on it and forbade Chu Lui from divorcing her. All because she did not know—all because there were too many things she did not know.
That resulted in this situation. Without that child, the Chu Family would not have any direct bloodline; and nobody would be able to continue their family line.
Xia Ruoxin stared at Song Wan's face that looked ten years younger than her actual age. She couldn't see much traces of the hardship of life on her face. Old? She didn't seem so.
Her cheap ruse was not going to work. Playing the family card? She wasn't going to fall for it. Even if they pretended to be miserable, she wasn't going to sympathize with them.
She faintly lifted the sides of her red lips. ”Aunty Song, if you want a grandchild, there are many women in this world who will willingly bear one for you; and there are many women who will willingly marry into the Chu family. Other than Li Manni—in this world, there were still many women.”
”No, we won't be having any more grandchildren; we really won't.” Song Wan tightly gripped onto Xia Ruoxin's hand, and Xia Ruoxin saw that tears were streaming down her face, seemingly unceasing.
”Ruoxin, we won't be having any more grandchildren. Ah Lui will never be able to have another child, and we will never be able to have a grandchild…” She could not stop shaking her head. For her, this situation was practically a stab in the heart. The more she thought about it, the more painful it was.
Xia Ruoxin retracted her hand again. ”Aunty Song, isn't that being a little too presumptuous?”
How could they not have any more grandchildren? Didn't Li Manni have two children? Even if her current child wasn't Chu Lui's, the one before should have been his. Chu Lui wasn't infertile. There was no way he couldn't have another child. If he really was infertile, then how did Rainy come about?
It never crossed her mind that she had actually guessed the situation correctly.
Song Wan's body suddenly tensed. ”Ruoxin, there really isn't going to be another child. Li Manni—that woman fed Ah Lui antidepressants for four years. That kind of medication has a certain constituent that makes people s.e.x.u.a.lly dysfunctional.” She couldn't keep it in anymore—she really couldn't—so she said it. She told her everything.
”That's why we won't be having anymore grandchildren. Our Chu family will not have a descendant.”
She lifted her head to look at Xia Ruoxin. ”I'm begging you, let us meet the child, alright? We just want to meet her; we won't do anything to her.”
