Chapter 535 - Helpless Scramble (1/2)

It was only after Rainy's tiny figure ran into her room that Gao Yi approached Xia Ruoxin and placed his hands on her shoulder. ”Ruoxin, tell me, what's wrong? What happened?”

In an instant, he felt Xia Ruoxin's shoulder shrink. Xia Ruoxin lifted her head. She blinked her eyes gently, and tears started streaming down the side of her face. She couldn't keep herself calm, and she couldn't bring herself to not worry.

”Ruoxin, tell me, what on earth is going on?” Gao Yi's fingers frantically wiped away the teardrops on her face. He hadn't seen her cry like this in a long time. Why was she so sorrowful and uneasy now? What on earth had happened?

”Gao Yi…” Xia Ruoxin called out Gao Yi's name. Between her lips, it was possible to taste an extreme bitterness. ”Tell me, what should I do, what should I do…?” She repetitively said. Gao Yi simply embraced her ceaselessly-trembling body in his arms.

”Tell me what happened. Don't worry. How come you keep forgetting that you're not alone? You still have me.” His hands were firmly placed on Xia Ruoxin's shoulder. The warmth radiating from his body ironed out Xia Ruoxin's extremely uneasy heart.

Her red lips were quivering. She was scared to death and practically about to have a breakdown.

”Gao Yi, Chu Lui wants to steal Rainy away. He wants to steal my daughter. He's going to use legal means to try to steal my daughter away. I'm scared, I'm really scared of his unscrupulous nature. He's a demon. I know that he will try to steal my daughter away regardless of all consequences.”

Gao Yi gently patted Xia Ruoxin's shoulders, soothing her current uneasiness. He knew how nervous she was—Rainy was her life. If he really took Rainy away from her side, then didn't that practically equate to him taking her life away?

”Don't worry. I won't let Rainy leave you. I won't let anything or anybody steal her away.”

A man without any sense of responsibility. How could he be worthy of having such a great daughter? He could actually be this cruel, making the same woman so grief-stricken again. Chu Lui, this man… there was practically no remedy for his soul.

Although Gao Yi's consolation didn't make Xia Ruoxin feel any more relaxed, it did give her a sense of support. At the very least, she wasn't alone; and she wasn't left high and dry, right? She placed both of her hands on Gao Yi's hip. Her heart was uneasy, her soul was trembling, and her body was frozen stiff. She hugged Gao Yi's waist tightly while Gao Yi continued to pat her shoulders, silently comforting her.

Behind the door, Rainy was hugging her doll. She squatted on the floor, both her eyes abnormally bright. However, on her small face, the previous traces of happiness were nowhere to be found. She stuck the doll next to her face.

”Mommy, Rainy won't leave Mommy…” Her small voice was laced with an immeasurable sense of injustice. However, none of the a.d.u.l.ts outside could hear it.

Inside the Chu Enterprise, Du Jingtang glared at Chu Lui. He had been glaring at him for about an hour already. He didn't mind that his eyes were sore. Even if his eyes were sore, he wanted to see if Chu Lui was willing to let him look on.

He reckoned that nobody would like being treated as a monkey, especially not in such a straightforward manner. This very annoying gaze would definitely make any person uncomfortable.
