Chapter 520 - This Was Not Granny (1/2)
That child was very, very small; but her facial features were refined. If one did not look carefully, they wouldn't think so. Once they see the child with Xia Ruoxin, then they would be able to relate everything. This child turned out to be a spitting image of her mother.
Suddenly, Song Wan covered her mouth.
Her eyes widened slightly. It was her… her? She was her granddaughter? No wonder she really liked this child. This was what 'blood is thicker than water' meant; this was what kinship felt like.
She was very afraid that she would burst into tears right then. Mustering her strength, Song Wan calmed herself down. Then, she squatted down and reached her hands towards Rainy.
It was Rainy. It was actually Rainy. It was the Rainy that she saw several times. This was her little granddaughter, her blood-related granddaughter. The child of the Chu family. She was originally their grandchild.
Look at how stunning she looked, just like the Chu family. It was the first time she saw her up close. The first time she could look so carefully at her, and she realized that this was indeed a child of the Chu family. She looked extremely beautiful. Her small face was a shadow of Xia Ruoxin's. Yet, her eyes… was it not the eyes possessed only by members of the Chu family? Furthermore, her calm and expressionless face—was it not a spitting image of Ah Lui? Her gaze was exactly like Ah Lui's when he was young. Even in a foreign environment, they were never afraid. She was brave and sensible.
Shockingly, this child's eyes had a tint of blue within her black pupils, just like the Chu family. In this moment—where she sat upright, she looked so much like their Ah Lui. Although Rainy was a girl and resembled her mother, she really gave off the same vibes as Ah Lui when he was young. They both liked to press their lips together, they both had the same look in their eyes, and they both had those expressionless faces.
If this was not her granddaughter, whose could she be?
”Rainy, come over to Granny; let Granny take a good look at you.” She did not even dare to blink her eyes, afraid that this cute little fella in front of her would suddenly disappear. Chu Jiang opened his eyes widely as well. He stared intently at Rainy, hoping to see more faces of his son in her.
Finally, he smiled. He didn't know how long it had been since he last smiled.
He stared enviously at Song Wan. How come she had met their little granddaughter before? He didn't even know her name. Now, he did. It was Rainy.
Although he found it a little weird, it still sounded quite nice.
”Rainy, come over to Granny.” Song Wan's hands were still in the air. Even though they felt extremely sore, she could not bear to put them down. What a cute child. Her face was round as an apple, exquisitely long eyelashes grew from her large eyes, and her soft, tender lips were still tightly pressed together. She felt exactly like her son when he was young. She didn't need a DNA test; she truly believed that this was her granddaughter.
Song Wan continued to squat on the floor, reaching her hands out towards Rainy. However, Rainy remained standing at the entrance, her hands tightly gripping her mother's. She did not let go; neither did she call out 'Granny'. She especially wouldn't let this Granny hug her.
She didn't even smile. Her long, curly eyelashes fluttered gently as she scanned the room, revealing the girl sitting on the sofa and hugging a beautiful doll—Chu Xiang.
Mommy said that this was her granny, but she was clearly Chu Xiang's granny—not hers.
”Rainy…” Song Wan approached the child. She wanted to touch her granddaughter's small face. She wanted to know whether this was reality, whether she was dreaming. However, the moment her hand reached forward, Rainy took a step back to avoid her hand.
This reaction felt like a stab in the heart for Song Wan.
