Chapter 605 - Homeless (2/2)

”Stand properly; Mommy will be back in a while.” She was still smiling as if nothing had happened.

Rainy flattened her mouth and obediently nodded her head. Her pair of innocent eyes gradually became misted.

Xia Ruoxin carried her luggage over, and then with one hand carrying her luggage and another hand carrying her daughter, she ran into the rain.

At that moment, in the manor, Bai Luoyin plucked a rose and placed it under her nose, sniffing it. The bright red color of the rose looked just like fresh blood, and it also made her clouded eyes appear red.

”You've chased them out?”

She asked the helper who had just returned.

”Yes, Missus. I've already chased them out. Their belongings have also been thrown out as you wished.”

”Is that right?” Bai Luoyin's lips curled into a smile. Her smile further widened as she stepped on the rose petals on the floor. The bottom of her shoes was tainted with a layer of fragrance which was ruthlessly washed away by the rain after.

…

”Are you cold?”

Xia Ruoxin opened her luggage and took out her clothes from within. She wrapped them one after another over Rainy's body. Then, she touched the clothes on her daughter's body. Thankfully, they weren't wet. It was just that she had forgotten. She was, at that moment, drenched from head to toe—even her hair was drenched. Her hair was twisted into several small clumps as well, with drops of water dripping from them.

Her complexion was very bad. It was pale and ice-cold. However, the smile in her eyes was as warm as a spring breeze.

Rainy shook her head.

”Mommy, Rainy isn't cold.” She reached out her tiny hand and helped her mother wipe away the rainwater on her face. However, tears rolled down drop by drop from those two large eyes.

”Don't be scared, Rainy. Don't be scared.”

Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter that was among all the clothes, waiting for the rain to pass.

The rain here came quickly and ended quickly as well. While waiting for the rain to stop, Xia Ruoxin thought in her head. They could rent a small apartment and then find a job to do. Their conditions back in those years were way worse and tougher than that of the present. She already pushed through all that. She believed that as tough as it was going to be, it would never be as tough as it was before. That time, Rainy didn't even have any milk to drink.

Furthermore, she still had some savings and income from her website. Although the expenses overseas were very high, her salary would be able to keep them alive for quite a few days. As for all the cards that Gao Yi gave her, she didn't want them. Instead, she placed them in the Bai family's house.

Gradually, the sound of the rain finally started to become softer. The rain was about to stop.

Rainy had already fallen asleep; however, her sleep was unsound. Xia Ruoxin placed her hands in front of her chest to warm it up. It was only after her hands heated up a little that she helped tidy up her daughter's soft hair, and it was only after the rain stopped that she carried her daughter in one hand and pulled the luggage in another, leaving to find another place to live in.

By the time the sun was about to set, she finally found a hotel to stay in, but she had yet to find a house. The hotel was very cheap and fairly priced. They could make do with it. The issue of finding a house to rent, they could take that slow. At the very least, they had to get through this night first.

Just then, the phone in her pocket rang. She hastily took out the phone. Thankfully, the phone didn't get drenched by the rain. Otherwise, she wouldn't even have had a communication device.
