Chapter 547 - Inseverable Ties (2/2)
Xia Ruoxin originally wanted to carry Rainy and leave. However, after the lawsuit with Chu Lui, she wasn't afraid of anybody anymore, including the Chu family. In this world, there was nobody that could snatch her daughter away from her.
One step, two steps… three steps…
Chu Jiang who stood behind them had yet to leave. Suddenly, Xia Ruoxin stopped walking. Then, she looked down and touched her daughter's little forehead. ”Baby, do you want to go to Grandpa's house to play?”
Chu Jiang's eyes shimmered. He was so touched that tears of joy had rolled down the corners of his eyes.
Rainy blinked her eyes and bit on her small fingers. Then, she turned her head around to look at Chu Jiang.
”Mommy, can I really?” She softly asked, her heart slightly expectant.
”Yes, you can.”
Xia Ruoxin straightened out her daughter's unkempt hair before she turned around and placed her down on the floor. She held her daughter's small hand and walked forward.
”Uncle Chu, Gao Yi and I have some things to do today. That's why we won't have time to take care of this little fella. Could you help me to take care of her? I'll come get her tomorrow.”
”Sure. Sure.” Chu Jiang hastily picked up his granddaughter. He knew that Xia Ruoxin was deliberately making up a story to give them a chance to spend some time with their granddaughter. It was possible that there wasn't going to be another chance like this. After their granddaughter migrates, the next time they meet could be in months or years. By then, maybe their granddaughter would have grown up already; and he would have turned to ashes.
He happily carried his granddaughter in one hand and held his phone in the other to call his wife.
At that moment, Song Wan was busy preparing to cook for the family. With the nanny's help, cooking three meals every day had become relatively easy; and she didn't need to have her hands full with preparations. Preparing meals for the family, she liked days like that. This made them feel more like a family, right?
Suddenly, Song Wan's handphone dropped onto the floor.
”Xiao Jiang, quick; go buy vegetables and fish. Today, my granddaughter is coming back. Right, I should tell Ah Lui to come back, too, and Jingtang as well. Rainy really likes Jingtang.”
She frantically picked up her handphone from the floor. She didn't know whether it was because she dropped the handphone on the floor, but the phone screen couldn't turn back on. She anxiously ran out of the kitchen to call Chu Lui and Du Jingtang, repeatedly telling them to rush home.
She was in a frenzy at her side, and so were the two of them on the other side.
…
”We're home.” Chu Jiang carried Rainy in one hand and held Chu Xiang's hand in the other. Chu Xiang lowered her head, not saying much. However, her gaze towards Rainy—from time to time—was not very friendly.
Upon seeing that they were home, she hastily went to knock on the door.
”Granny, Xiang Xiang's home.” As she spoke, she proudly lifted her chin towards Rainy.
Rainy slightly lowered her eyes and pressed her small lips together.
Chu Jiang's hands that were as large as a fan gently caressed his granddaughter's small face. ”Rainy, are you angry? Granny likes Jiejie a little more.”
