Chapter 528 - Chu Xiangs Thoughts (1/2)

”Say 'bye-bye' to Grandpa.” Xia Ruoxin rubbed the top of her daughter's head as she spoke and prepared to bring Rainy home after this. Rainy obediently followed her mother home and, of course, didn't forget to wave goodbye to her grandfather.

Chu Jiang placed his card back into his pocket, only remembering then that Xia Ruoxin had refused even half of the Chu family's assets. How could she want anything from him? He clearly understood that actually; she really didn't want to have any more relations to the Chu family.

If Rainy wasn't their one and only child and if she hadn't pitied them, then maybe, Xia Ruoxin would never even have been willing to speak a word to the Chu family.

The moment he went back home, Song Wan hastily stood up.

”Where's Rainy?”

”She went home.”

Chu Jiang sat on the sofa. Upon seeing Chu Xiang who was currently playing with a doll, Chu Jiang didn't say a word. However, his facial expression totally darkened.

Song Wan felt a little disappointed. She was still hoping that Chu Jiang would manage to bring Rainy back home. However, that was not the case. When would they finally be able to see their granddaughter every day?

”Xiang Xiang, come over here.”

Chu Jiang suddenly shouted Chu Xiang's name.

Chu Xiang paused for a moment before hiding herself beside Song Wan.

Song Wan knew what Chu Jiang was about to do. Chu Xiang, this child—she did indeed like her. However, thinking back on how she scratched Rainy today, she felt a sense of unhappiness in her heart. If in the future Rainy came back to the Chu family, what was going to happen if she and Chu Xiang didn't get along?

”Go to Grandpa.” Song Wan stood up, practicing the idea of 'out of sight, out of mind'.

Chu Xiang warily approached Chu Jiang and stood in front of him, not even daring to lift her head.

Chu Jiang coldly sized up the child in front of him. This small act… in the eyes of somebody who had lived a large half of their life, frankly speaking, whether she was five or thirty-five-years-old, wasn't going to help her escape his wrath.

”I don't care what ideas you have in your head. You just need to remember your place. Rainy is our Chu family's child while you are just our Chu family's adoptive child. Don't act out of place, and what's yours will be yours. We also won't mistreat you. However, the moment you carry out any of those ideas in your head, I will send you back to the foster home right away.”

Chu Xiang was always a fearful child. Until the moment Chu Jiang finished speaking, her eyes wear red, and she appeared extremely pitiful. However, the one who put her in such a sorry state didn't represent the Chu family.

…

The Chu family had gone through several states of turmoil, but it was the same for the Li family. Amidst the raging storm, they had withered and fallen into disrepair.
