Chapter 788 - Whose Child? (1/2)

He would never leave them again for the rest of his life.

At night, the Chinese lanterns were just up; and dusk was approaching. In a very famous private kitchen, it was not a banquet but a private gathering. There were not many people that came: only Du Jingtang’s family and Chu Jiang; Song Wan did not come. She was not on the invitation list, and even if she was invited, she might not even go.

To this result, Xia Ruoxin did not think too much about it. The grudges between her and Song Wan could not be easily resolved. No, it could not be resolved even for the rest of her life. No matter what she did to her, she could forget about them; after all, she had survived it all. However, for what she did to Rainy, she believed that not any one of them could forgive her so easily.

This was not something that a mere apology could solve.

Rainy was the happiest. She had been holding onto her mother’s hand the whole time and was very obedient. Perhaps she was afraid that her mother did not want her anymore.

“Sister Ruoxin, welcome home.” Du Jingtang held the wine glass up and was genuinely happy for Xia Ruoxin. It was good that she was back; he was worried sick.

“Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin stood up. She could not drink so she held up a glass of fruit juice and drank it. Even though they were not legitimately a family—today, they sat as close as one… together.

At first, this was just a simple and warm family gathering; but there were just too many coincidences in the world. Just like now, a table of people had walked in.

“Wan Wan, your granddaughter looks prettier by the day.” Someone started bootlicking Song Wan again. Everyone knew that Song Wan doted on this child the most so naturally they would all compliment her.

“Nah… all the children looked the same.” Song Wan really liked listening to these kinds of compliments. However, the words that came out of her mouth were still polite and humble.

The few of them sat together, laughed, and talked. As expected, they talked about fashion, clothes, and children. In the whole table of adults, there was only Chu Xiang, the only child. Besides, she was a girl so she received many presents from the adults, which were definitely not cheap goods. As long as Song Wan came out, she must bring the granddaughter along.

The love she had for this granddaughter of hers received decent remarks from their circle of friends.

“Wan Wan, I’m really envious of you.” A wealthy woman laughed and said. When she raised her hand, her entire body was sparkling and dazzling. Even though she did not bring many accessories, one could feel that she was not an ordinary woman.

Of course, they did not have many women of average families here.

“How can you envy me? I am envious of you.” Song Wan laughed and touched Chu Xiang’s forehead. “I heard your son opened another company.”

“So what if he opened another company?” The wealthy lady frowned her protruding red lip. “He doesn’t even want to give me a granddaughter and spends his whole day with some indecent women. Starlets, models, and whatnot. Every time I look at Xiang Xiang, I love her even more. I want to adopt one on my own. If every kid was as likable as Xiang Xiang, how good would that be? But Wan Wan…” This woman her spoon and stirred the light pink liquid in her cup. “You’re so nice to this child, but what happens if you have a grandchild of your own in the future?”

The expression on Song Wan’s face froze. She said it unintentionally, but the person listened with much meaning. Then, she lowered her head and placed her hand on Chu Xiang’s hair nonchalantly. “What can I do? Xiang Xiang is a child. Even if I have my own grandchild, I will like my Xiang Xiang the best.”
