Chapter 666: Mother-in-Law was still There

Rainy wanted to call out to her mother after she had completed her homework and packed it up. However, her mother was too engrossed to realize it. Rainy stood up and ran to the kitchen, where she struggled to pour a cup of water and brought it over.

She then stood before Xia Ruoxin.

“Mommy, drink water.”

Xia Ruoxin suddenly returned to her senses. She saw her daughter standing before her, her eyes bright as if waiting for praise.

“Thanks, baby.” Xia Ruoxin took the cup from her daughter and took a big sip. If only life could continue like this.

They did not need much. She just wanted a quiet life for herself and her daughter.

There was coolness in the night breeze that had a hint of floral in it. The smell might be natural or artificial, but it did not matter. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, they had a heartwarming home.

Leaves floated to the ground slowly outside the door. It was the beginning of spring.

…

Chu Lui was already back to the Chu family for dinner.

The family was seated at the table, and dinner was rather sumptuous. The people did not say much. Chu Xiang sneaked a peek at Chu Lui. She was already six years old and in kindergarten. Song Wan had hired a few tutors for her, but for some reason, her grades never improved.

How was she supposed to go to elementary school with grades like that?

“Ah Lui, can you find Xiang Xiang another teacher?”

Song Wan set her chopsticks down and patted Chu Xiang on the head. The child was supposed to head to elementary school next year. However, she had a late start in her education, and she struggled to keep up.

“Children of the Chu family don’t have to be that good academically,” the man replied plainly. He would not put any pressure to have good grades. It was fine even if his daughter was illiterate.

He had never known that he would be such an unprincipled father. He just did not want his daughter to feel troubled. His heart ached whenever he imagined grievance on his daughter’s tiny face.

Of course, he was referring to Rainy, not Chu Xiang.

In truth, he did not have any feelings of affection for the child, even though she was raised under his name. She was his adoptive daughter; if possible, he would send the child overseas in the future. He could still afford to raise a child, but he did not like the way this child looked at him.

“You…”

Song Wan did not know what to say about her son. He was just making her look bad!

He disagreed with everything she said.

Education was not about grades or knowledge. It was about learning how to interact with others.

“Okay.” Chu Jiang patted Song Wan’s shoulders. “It’s just elementary school. It doesn’t really matter. We can just slowly educate her in the future.”

“But…” The father and son were the death of Song Wan. She was talking to them seriously, but this was all they could come up with?

“What would you do if this were the case with Rainy?”

She missed her grandchild, too. If her granddaughter were here, she would never let the child go to school. The child would stay with her all day. They could afford to raise a child.
