Chapter 525 - He Wanted a Daughter (1/2)

If he really did save her, then their relationship would have been a lot simpler. His daughter also wouldn't be hating him so much. He certainly wasn't a good father—he didn't even have any right to be her father. He wasn't even willing to save her life. She deserved to hate him; he was a bad guy. He was, as the child had said, a bad guy.

Song Wan placed her hand on Chu Lui's shoulder and gripped tightly. ”Ah Lui, don't be like that. We didn't know.” It was just that their ignorance brought about a large price—so large that none of them could calculate its size.

So close, their granddaughter was so close to death—so, so close to death.

”Then Rainy, is she alright now?” Song Wan frantically asked. ”Has she recovered?”

Chu Lui softly replied with a 'yes'. ”Don't worry, she has already recovered. She had two suitable bone marrow donors. One was me, and the other was that person just now, Gao Yi.” No matter what, they still had to thank Gao Yi. If he hadn't appeared then, Rainy would have been dead by now. Because on the day that Chu Lui left, the child had almost lost her life. Every time he thought about it, he felt his heart tremor.

Chu Jiang reached over, taking a hold of his wife's shoulder. ”Ah Lui, what are you planning to do? You should know, our Chu family only has one Rainy; and I would only ever have this one granddaughter. Although we still have Chu Xiang, she's not considered part of our bloodline. We will never let Rainy leave us. Regarding this, I will not back down.”

His hard-earned granddaughter, his one and only granddaughter. No matter what happened, he wasn't going to give her up. He knew that it was very selfish of them to be like that; however, they had no choice. A child of the Chu family could only be the Chu family's.

Especially when Rainy was so adorable. He already wanted to hug her again.

Chu Lui's closed eyes only opened after a long time. Within those black pupils was a sudden rise of brilliance that stung the eyes of others.

”Dad, I know what to do.”

”It's just that… wasn't that being too cruel to Xia Ruoxin?” Although the father and son didn't further discuss the issue, Song Wan already somewhat understood. As an old couple that had lived together for all their life—if she couldn't even figure this much out, how were they expected to live together? Despite this, she still didn't have the heart to do it. They already owed Xia Ruoxin too much. Were they really still going to snatch away her daughter? She could tell that Ruo Xin really cherished that child.

Then again, wasn't their Chu family more pitiful? They only had one child—Rainy.

If they snatched Rainy away from her, would Xia Ruoxin still be able to continue living? She was a mother, too. As a mother, how could she bear to be apart from her child? However, if they chose to be merciful, their Chu family would have no grandchild. That's why that child… even if she didn't have the heart to, Song Wan still needed her to be part of the Chu family.

She felt extremely guilty and ashamed for having such thoughts. She didn't want to do this—she really didn't; however, if she didn't do so, then she wouldn't ever have a granddaughter.

”Leave everything to Ah Lui. We just need to wait.”

Chu Jiang heaved a heavy sigh. Perhaps, this was a somewhat cruel way of doing things. However, they really couldn't lose their one and only granddaughter.

He reached out his hand to pat Song Wan's shoulders, meaning to say: 'Don't think too much, and don't say anything more. Regarding certain things, their son would handle it well on his own. As for them, all they could do was wait. They had waited for so many years already, what more harm could waiting for another day do?'

Chu Lui placed both his hands into his pockets and straightened his body. Perhaps not too long ago, he had wanted to give up. But now, he had a daughter. He could not bear to be apart from his only daughter. Neither was he resigned to be. For the little bride that he had once decided on—if there was a need, he was willing to go back to being the Chu Lui that he was four years ago, unscrupulous and extremely cruel.

Four years ago, it was out of hatred. Four years later, it was out of love instead.
