Chapter 539 - Previous Injuries (1/2)

Clearly, her daughter deserved to be happy. However, it was all because of her selfishness that made her daughter have to go through so many hardsh.i.p.s. Even now, her daughter was about to lose her one and only daughter.

”Mrs. Xia, I think you've got the wrong person.” Xia Ruoxin pulled Shen Yijun's hand off of her and then pointed to Xia Yixuan who stood at her side. ”That lady should be your daughter instead. I never knew that I still had a mother.”

Her words made Shen Yijun's face a little pale. Just as she thought, Xia Ruoxin was still blaming her. She still hated her.

”Xia Ruoxin, how could you talk to your mother that way?” Xia Yixuan felt recalcitrant. Why was it that every time somebody opened their mouth, it was all about Xia Ruoxin, Xia Ruoxin. What did they see the eldest daughter of the Xia household as?

Moreover, in the past, Brother Lui doted on her a lot. Now, whenever he sees her, he practically acted like a stranger. This made her, who was always the center of admiration, really unable to accept that drastic change.

”She's your mother, not mine. May I ask you, how am I supposed to be courteous towards a stranger?” Xia Ruoxin walked past them. Nobody knew that at that moment—in her lowered eyes, there was a look of hurt.

She didn't have a mother. Not when she was isolated and helpless while she was pregnant with Rainy, not when she knelt on the floor to beg her, not when she was locked out of the house, and not when Rainy was sick. The moment she said that Rainy was a bastard child and deserved to die, Xia Ruoxin already didn't have a mother.

Perhaps, since she was four-years-old, she already didn't have a mother. She didn't know what a mother's love was like. It was just like that.

Shen Yijun wasn't her mother. She was Xia Yixuan's. Now that all was well and her daughter had survived, they started to remember her again. Was she, Xia Ruoxin, just so cheap?

”Ruoxin, let's go.” Gao Yi held Rainy's small hand before gently gripping Xia Ruoxin's hands with his other. ”Nobody will blame you for not wanting to accept such a selfish mother.”

If she had reached out her hand to Ruoxin back then, then would Ruoxin still sell herself to pay for Rainy's hospital fees?

Shen Yijun's vision suddenly blurred. If it wasn't for Xia Mingzheng's support, she probably would have fallen butt-down onto the floor.

Rainy turned her head to look at Shen Yijun and Xia Mingzheng. She had already recognized them; however, the sensitive her understood that her mother didn't like them. Whatever Mommy didn't like, she wasn't going to like them as well.

Child…

Shen Yijun watched the child who was looking back, her heart feeling even more sadness. She knew it; she just knew it. Once Rainy's identity was exposed, the Chu family was definitely going to want to snatch her away.

She was beautiful; it was no wonder that the Chu family wanted the child.

Rainy kept silent the entire time, quietly letting Gao Yi hold her hand. There was little expression on her small face. The way she looked right now had no difference from that Chu Lui who always kept a straight face.

Saying that they weren't father and daughter—obviously, nobody was going to believe it.

After everybody took their seats, Gao Yi once again consolingly gripped Xia Ruoxin's hand. ”Go up, Ruoxin. Don't be afraid, you still have me.”

Rainy tugged at Xia Ruoxin's clothes as well. ”Mommy, don't be afraid. Rainy's here, too.”
