Chapter 675 - Why Does Mei Mei Not Like Me? (2/2)
“Hi, Xiao Jie Jie.” Rainy greeted Chu Xiang politely with a shy smile, which accentuated her cuteness.
Chu Xiang squeezed the doll in her arms tightly. She found that she disliked Mei Mei even more with each moment.
…
Chu Jiang heard a child’s cries when he returned. His heart rose to his throat as he hurried over. He opened the door to see Chu Xiang crying as she sat on the floor. Rainy was hugging a doll with her lips pursed.
Song Wan hurried over and picked Chu Xiang up the instant she saw the child on the floor. Subconsciously, she looked over at Rainy reprimandingly.
However, she paused when she met Rainy’s dark blue eyes, eyes that were the same shade as her son’s. Looking at the expression and face that resembled her son’s, there was an indescribable sense of awkwardness.
“Rainy, there are a lot of dolls here. Don’t fight with Xiao Jie Jie. See? She’s crying,” she said as she cajoled Chu Xiang. She had no idea what she had said until it was too late. The words had already been spoken.
Rainy pursed her lips like her mother did.
Bang! The doll in her arms fell to the floor. Chu Xiang was still crying as she grabbed onto Song Wan’s clothes, still choked with emotion.
“Granny, did Xiang Xiang do something wrong? Why doesn’t Mei Mei like me?”
“Of course, my Xiang Xiang didn’t do anything wrong,” Song Wan cajoled Chu Xiang as she held the child in her arms. “Mei Mei’s still young. Xiang Xiang, let Mei Mei have the doll. Granny will buy you another one, okay?”
“Okay.” Chu Xiang nodded. However, her eyes were fixed on Rainy’s eyes with dislike.
She disliked this Mei Mei. It was best that she never came again to steal her Granny and Grandpa.
Rainy bit on her lips as she pinched the hems of her dress. She sniffled but did not cry. At this point, a pair of hands reached out to hug her.
Chu Jiang touched Rainy’s tiny face.
The child leaned her head on Chu Jiang’s chest. She missed her mother.
…
When Chu Lui returned, his parents seemed to be upset with each other.
“Do you have to treat me like this?” Song Wan stuck out her leg and kicked Chu Jiang. “Rainy’s my granddaughter, too. My biological granddaughter. Wouldn’t I dote on her? Then again, she snatched the doll from Xiang Xiang and made her fall. That’s not nice. Even though she’s small, she needs to be educated. I didn’t even say anything, and you got upset first.”
Chu Jiang’s face was glum. He did not want to argue with his wife. The more they argued, the bigger the problem got; and if that was the case, he would never get to see his granddaughter again.
“Dad, Mom, what’s wrong?” Chu Lui walked over and wedged himself between the two. His parents have not argued in a decade, but now, they were at each other’s throats.
