Chapter 524 - He is Not Daddy (1/2)

He hadn't hugged his granddaughter long enough.

Although he did still have the chance to hug her in the future. He was going to hug his granddaughter every day from then on, just to let everybody know that he—Chu Jiang—had such an adorable granddaughter.

Song Wan's mention of the word 'Daddy' made Xia Ruoxin's face darken, and her lips pressed together in displeasure. This didn't seem like an appropriate word to use on Chu Lui. Gao Yi simply raised his eyebrows. If Chu Lui was Rainy's daddy, then where did they place him—the Gao Yi daddy that Rainy called out to?

Rainy opened her discerning pair of eyes. Her apple-like face grew excessively silent. She stopped smiling and simply hugged her doll in her arms.

Song Wan thought that the child was simply afraid; however, she had even begun to feel a little estranged as well. It was only then that she placed Rainy on the floor. Then, she squatted next to her and pointed towards Chu Lui who stood by the door. ”Rainy, go call Daddy, okay? That's Rainy's daddy.”

She gently coaxed the child. A strong sense of anticipation flashed across Chu Lui's emotional eyes. He really wanted to hear her call him 'daddy', the first time his daughter was going to call him 'daddy'.

After a long time, Rainy turned back to look at Song Wan. Her child-like voice sounded clear as day. ”He's not my daddy. Rainy hates him.” Although her voice was small, her words shocked everybody in the house. Chu Lui's face immediately paled. His daughter despised him. She said that she hated him.

He instantly took a step back, leaning his body against the door. His chest vigorously rose and fell as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

”Rainy, how could you hate him? He's your father!” Song Wan paused for a moment. She did not expect to say such harsh words to a child. Furthermore, when she saw Ah Lui, she completely changed.

She was no longer like a three-year-old child.

Rainy moved her small legs and walked towards Gao Yi's side. She reached out her two small hands. ”Daddy, carry.” Her voice was extremely pleasant to hear; however, it made the entire Chu family feel bitterly disappointed.

She was calling another man daddy while hating on her actual father.

Gao Yi picked up Rainy, a complex look in his eyes. This child seemingly knew more than he thought she did.

”Rainy is still a child. You cannot hate people like this; do you understand?” His hand gently caressed Rainy's face. He was a little happy to see Rainy like this. However, she was still such a young child and had yet to understand the grievances amongst a.d.u.l.ts. She shouldn't hate another person so easily.

”He is a bad man.” Rainy buried her face into Gao Yi's shoulder, gently combing the hair on her doll as she spoke. ”He bullied Mommy with some bad people, bullied Rainy, and even made Rainy hurt. He left Rainy to die. He's bad. He's not Rainy's daddy.”

Gao Yi's hands that were on Rainy's face froze for a moment. Then, he hugged Rainy's small body into his embrace. She remembered all those things; she actually remembered them. He gripped Xia Ruoxin's hands tightly only to see her eyes red with tears.
