Chapter 788 - Whose Child? (2/2)
The other people frowned in their hearts and felt that Song Wan was being too naive. Why would the adopted one be better than the biological one? If she really treated the adopted one like her own and her own like the adopted, would this not disrupt the natural order of the world?
“Isn’t that Lao Chu?” A sharp-eyed person spotted Chu Jiang at the other table.
There seemed to be a child in Chu Jiang’s arms. Whose one was it?
The wealthy lady smiled. “Wan Wan, both of you are already so old; why are you still separating like this?”
She raised her head. “Lao Chu, come over to sit.”
When Chu Jiang heard the voice, he realized that his old friends were here; and so was Song Wan coincidentally. He was upset as he told her that Xia Ruoxin had come back, and she should come over. However, she did not give him any face and just directly said that she had something on, brought Chu Xiang out, and left. She really had something big… she thought of herself as too big.
He walked over in big steps. They were all women, but he had seen all of them before.
“Oh, whose child is this? Let Granny carry for a while.”
Once the wealthy lady saw the child in Chu Jiang’s arms, she loved her and hurriedly extended her hands to carry her. This was weird as she did like Chu Xiang, but she never wanted to carry her. One was because Chu Xiang was not young; she was seven and was pretty chubby. Secondly, she did not look much; even though she praised Chu Xiang, she personally looked down on her. However, she did like the child that Chu Jiang was carrying because she was good-looking and small, just the right size for her to carry.
“Tell Granny, what’s your name?”
The wealthy lady pinched the child’s beautiful face.
“Hello, Auntie, I am Rainy.” The child looked pinkish and spoke softly with her lips curling upwards, and her eyes turning into a pair of crescent moons.
“You’re still calling me Auntie?” The wealthy lady touched her face. She was old, but no matter how old a woman was, they would never admit their age. This wealthy lady obviously cared about maintaining her looks and was very concerned with her appearance. Actually, she hated the fact that people called her Granny even though she was one and she called herself that. However, to hear it from a child’s mouth was still uncomfortable for her.
Today, this child really pleased her. That ‘Auntie’ made her heart flutter.
“Lao Chu, where did this child come from?” The wealthy lady asked Chu Jiang and wanted to bring her home if she did not have parents.
“Hehe…” Chu Jiang could only laugh bitterly. How could he say that she was the Chu family’s child, his own granddaughter? When Chu Xiang was here, Rainy’s identity would be awkward. If he said it out loud, he was afraid that other people would laugh at him. How could he answer?
“Come, let me carry her.” Chu Jiang extended his arms, and Rainy naturally reached her hands out to hug him. However, once she saw Song Wan, she buried her face in Chu Jiang’s shoulders. She did not call Granny and did not want to talk to this granny.
