Chapter 538 - The Scramble (2/2)
Once she went home, Rainy took out the piece of paper from her bag, handing it over to Xia Ruoxin. ”Mommy, you need to sign here.”
”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin agreed. She opened the piece of paper and took a look. On top of it, there were weird characters; not to mention Rainy, even she couldn't understand them. However, upon seeing her daughter's eager look, she could only pick up her pen and sign on the paper. ”Alright, here, don't look at me like that. Otherwise, your Daddy will end up thinking that I'm bullying you.” She rubbed her daughter's hair and placed the paper back into Rainy's small hand.
”Thanks, Mommy.” Rainy beamed brightly, and then she carefully placed the piece of paper into her bag as if it were a treasure, hiding in her room and doing some things that nobody knew about.
Xia Ruoxin lowered her head and looked at both of her hands. Then, she faintly let out a sigh before finally walking towards the kitchen. The day after tomorrow… it was the day after tomorrow. Would she really keep Rainy be able to keep Rainy by her side?
She wasn't making herself nervous; she just really couldn't convince herself. She was afraid, very afraid. She really wanted time to just stop here, but how could that be possible? The more she was afraid of something, the faster it would come.
…
Gao Yi held Rainy's hand in one hand, and Xia Ruoxin's hand in another. Standing not too far away from them was the entire Chu family: Chu Jiang, Song Wan, and Chu Lui. Naturally, Du Jingtang was there as well.
”Let's head in.” Chu Lui tried his best to make his voice sound calm. However, the rise and fall of his chest made people able to perceive that right now, he was not that calm and relaxed.
”Let's head in, too. Ruoxin, you don't have to worry.” Gao Yi gripped Xia Ruoxin's hand tightly. However, he realized that since the morning, her hand had always been in this extremely cold state. She was really too nervous and too afraid.
The only thing that he could help her with was just comforting her. Because no matter how reluctant he was, Rainy did indeed have the Chu family's blood flowing in her; and she was Chu Lui's daughter.
Chu Lui was a publicly known figure, and on top of that, the other party was Chu Lui's ex-wife. From the start, he had no intention of making the lawsuit public. This battle for his daughter… if it was really made known to the public, there was no knowing how distorted the information would become as it was spread around the outside world. However, those who were supposed to know about it already knew about it.
However, apart from the Chu family, the only other people who could enter the courtroom were people from the Xia household. They didn't want to make this a big thing. However, to the child, this was actually a form of harm. It was just that they didn't know. This action of theirs had unknowingly already deeply hurt Rainy.
”Ruoxin…” Shen Yijun emotionally looked at her daughter. She who locked herself up in the Xia house… if it wasn't for this lawsuit, she totally wouldn't have known that so many things had happened. Rainy's identity had been found out by the Chu family, and right now, the Chu family was anxiously trying to gain custody over Rainy. How could this be? How could the Chu family do that? What right did they have?
That was her granddaughter, the child that her daughter gave birth to.
It was just that upon hearing her voice, Xia Ruoxin simply glanced coldly at her before brushing past her. She didn't call her mother; neither did she acknowledge her presence.
”Ruoxin, up to now, you still refuse to acknowledge me as your Mom. Are you really planning to live your life without a mother?” Shen Yijun held onto Xia Ruoxin's hand, not wanting to let her leave. Did she know how much she blamed herself? How much she suffered? If she could redo everything, then she would rather choose to live with her daughter than choose to personally ruin her daughter's life.
