Chapter 527 - She didnt Need Things from the Chu Family (2/2)

Chu Jiang's heart ached for his granddaughter's small hands. It was only in front of this child that he was not the almighty Chu Jiang that he was in the market. Instead, he was simply a grandfather, embracing his one and only granddaughter in his arms.

”Grandpa, don't tell Mommy that it was Xiao Jiejie…” Rainy clenched her fists. ”Rainy isn't hurting anymore. If Mommy finds out, she won't let Rainy come to school anymore.”

Upon hearing her words, Chu Jiang's entire face flushed.

What have their Chu family done to this child?

In the afternoon, Rainy sat in her grandfather's embrace, waiting for her mother to come pick her up while Song Wan held Chu Xiang's hand. One moment, Chu Xiang complained that she was hungry; and in the next, she complained that she was feeling unwell, followed by other similar excuses. In short, she wasn't willing to wait there any longer.

”Why don't you bring her home?”

Chu Jiang took a glance at the temperamental Chu Xiang and said to Song Wan.

However, Song Wan wasn't willing to part with her granddaughter.

”Go back. Don't let her whine anymore; my head's starting to hurt.” Chu Jiang really couldn't take any more of Chu Xiang's high-pitched screaming. In the past, he simply felt like that child was finicky and wily; but now, he really disliked her. How was this simply being wily? She was practically a manipulative schemer.

In the end, Song Wan had no choice but to drag Chu Xiang into a car and head home, whereas Chu Jiang remained sitting on the steps, waiting for Xia Ruoxin's arrival.

”Mommy…” Rainy suddenly called out and ran forward. She was so fast that even Chu Jiang had yet to realize that the child's mother had arrived.

Xia Ruoxin tidied her daughter's messy hair. ”Were you good today?”

”Yes, very good.” Rainy hid her injured hand behind her back and then pointed behind her with the other hand. ”Mommy, it's Grandpa.”

By then, Chu Jiang had already stood up and headed towards them. Rainy had seemingly never thought about wanting to go home with this grandpa.

”Thank you,” Xia Ruoxin thanked Chu Jiang. As for where Song Wan had gone, it wasn't something that she cared about. She was also never going to send Rainy to the Chu family. Letting them meet with her daughter was already her bottom line; anything more than that, and she was going to refuse.

”Don't mention it.” Chu Jiang rubbed Rainy's small head. ”Ruoxin, I should be the one thanking you.”

Xia Ruoxin didn't understand. Thank her for what?

”Thank you for raising Rainy so well. She's very polite and sensible.” Chu Jiang truly felt that his granddaughter had a really good upbringing. She was very educated. If she was brought up in their house—with Song Wan's character, there was no knowing how she would've turned out.

However, sometimes, it also depended on the person. If Rainy really could be brought up in the Chu family—with the Chu family's blood running through her, there was no way she would turn out badly.

Xia Ruoxin gripped her daughter's small hand tightly. ”She was well-behaved since she was young. I didn't really do much. Maybe because children from poor families mature faster.” She laughed. She had no deeper meaning to her words, but it made Chu Jiang sad to hear that. He knew that this mother and daughter have had it tough for the past few years, but now, he was really grateful to her for giving birth under such difficult circ.u.mstances and raising the child so well.

He took out a card from his pocket.

”Ruoxin, take this card.”

”That's alright, Mr. Chu. We don't need it.” Xia Ruoxin didn't reach out to receive his card. ”I have a job. I am capable of raising my own daughter.”

Rainy leaned against her mother's leg and nodded her head vehemently. ”Rainy and Mommy don't accept other people's things. Rainy will grow up and buy many dolls for Mommy. I'll protect Mommy, too.”

”Baby, you're such a good kid.” Xia Ruoxin picked up her daughter and kissed her cheeks. ”Let's go. Let's go home and eat some fish.”
