Chapter 544 - Who Went to Hell (1/2)

Xia Ruoxin wanted to swing her hand away; however, his grip was really just too tight. So tight that he was about to hurt her arm. Rainy quietly lay in Gao Yi's embrace. She stole a glance at Chu Lui before turning her small face away again.

”Mr. Chu, we seemingly have nothing more to talk about. If you still plan to file another lawsuit, then I—Xia Ruoxin—will gladly fight you till the end. I'll never give my daughter to you.”

Xia Ruoxin fearlessly faced Chu Lui. Maybe other people were afraid of him, but she wasn't going to be. Whatever tricks he had up his sleeve, he could play them all at once. It was not as if she had never seen them before.

”Ruoxin, it's not like that.” Chu Lui hastily explained. ”I really just want both of you to return to my side. I never really thought of stealing Rainy from you. I thought that if I just managed to obtain Rainy's custodial rights, then you would also return to my side. Whether it was out of blame or out of hate, I could use the last half of my life repay you; and our family of three would live really happily.”

”Family of three.” Xia Ruoxin repeated his words, finding it extremely ironic and laughable. Who wanted to be a family of three with him? Trying to justify his past actions so easily, what did he take her for?

”Chu Lui…” She laughed, and yet her voice was extremely calloused. ”Do you have any right to be Rainy's father? When she was sick and in pain, it was Gao Yi who hugged her and coaxed her through the night. When she was so ill that she was about to die, it was Gao Yi who went through the operation with her. But you, her father, what were you doing? You were beside your wife, unwilling to save the tiny her. When people in her school looked down on her and when she was made fun of, it was Gao Yi who played the role of a father, giving her fatherly love.

”Why does she call Gao Yi 'daddy'? That's because Gao Yi is the one who truly loves her— unconditionally loves her. But what about you? When have you ever been concerned for her? When have you ever loved her? You even tried to snatch her away from my side.

”Chu Lui, I thought that you were no longer the Chu Lui from four years ago. I was wrong. You are still who you used to be. You're just as selfish, just as cruel, and just as inhumane. You don't understand love. You don't understand anything!”

Xia Ruoxin flung Chu Lui's hand away not even caring if she was going to hurt herself. Gao Yi clasped her hand tightly, providing her with silent consolation. ”Let's go.” He smiled warmly at her. Regardless of the situation, he had always given her such pressureless support.

”Alright.” Xia Ruoxin nodded her head and followed him out, whereas Chu Lui could only tightly clench the hand that he had reached out. The sudden coldness that arose in his heart was almost deadly, and his palms—they seemed unable to hold onto anything ever again.

”Cousin…” Du Jingtang stood behind him. Then, he placed his hand on Chu Lui's shoulder. ”Cousin, my mom's really angry. She was so angered by you she started tearing.” Reminded of his mother, Du Jingtang started to have a headache.

”Cousin, my mom said that when you love somebody, the more you're like this, the more she will stay away from you. Don't you see she's living well now? Rainy's living well, too. She went through so much just for you. Are you going to steal her happiness away again?

”You approaching her is ruining her happiness.”

Chu Lui's body evidently jerked back. He took heavy breaths and swallowed. It was destructive if he tried to approach her, and it was pillage if he tried to get close to her. It turned out that the thing that he had painstakingly wanted only served to ruin the happiness of others.

He placed his hands into his pocket and then walked out with big strides.

”Hey, Cousin…” Du Jingtang hastily chased after him; however, by the time he exited the courthouse, there was already nobody in sight.

”Actually, Cousin, you're quite pitiful, too. You clearly love that woman so much, and yet now, you can't even do as much as approach her.” He shook his head, helplessly sighing.
