Chapter 806 - The Child Went Missing (1/2)
“Are you my elder?” Xia Ruoxin retorted. Her nonchalant attitude made Song Wan’s heart feel a lot better.
“If I’m here, you don’t have to think about entering my Chu family.” She went directly through the apple in her hand; and at that moment, her voice almost became shrill.
Sorry, Xia Ruoxin did not feel like she was hurt. “I never wanted to be part of the Chu family so you aren’t my elder. Also, may I ask, what did you mean by the words you said? Where’s my daughter?”
Song Wan stood up and walked over and towards the railings by the boat. “If you want to know, then follow me.”
Xia Ruoxin paused before following.
“Say it.” She stood a distance away from Song Wan. She did not have much time to waste on her now; she just wanted to know how her daughter was.
“Where do you think this seawater would flow to?” Song Wan’s gaze followed the ocean as she said words that were random and illogical.
Xia Ruoxin did not come here to listen to her make poems and pour her heart out.
“Xia Ruoxin.” Song Wan opened her mouth.
Xia Ruoxin was listening, but she was starting to get annoyed. The sea breeze blew on her face, and there was a fishy smell in the wind. No matter where the sea went, it would definitely spell danger.
“Actually, I did treat you like my daughter,” Song Wan said slowly.
Xia Ruoxin knew that very well, but they could never be mother and daughter again. Perhaps she herself had no luck with familial relations or that she was destined to be a lone star and could not have many familial ties.
“I just want to know where my daughter is. Where’s Rainy?” Actually, Xia Ruoxin was tired and did not want to fight with Song Wan anymore. She just wanted to live with her daughter and have a normal life; was that really that hard?
“Your daughter?” Song Wan remembered the child’s pretty face and endured it in the end. “Come over, Auntie will tell you.” She smiled, but this smile in Xia Ruoxin’s eyes had no difference from a poisonous snake.
She inched closer and stood in front of Song Wan.
Song Wan placed her hand on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders, and Xia Ruoxin instinctively dodged it. Song Wan raised her hand again and placed it on the loose strands of hair by her ear.
“Ruoxin, Auntie did you wrong.”
Xia Ruoxin turned her face.
“Rainy… is missing…”
Xia Ruoxin did not react to it at first. “What did you say?”
Missing? What was missing?
“I said, Rainy is missing. Your daughter is lost.” Song Wan breathed deeply and repeated while enunciating each and every word clearly and seriously.
“Madam Song, this joke is not funny.” Xia Ruoxin’s smile was very sarcastic, but for some reason, her fingers were actually trembling.
“I’m not joking.” Song Wan’s expression did not look like she was joking. “I lied to Ah Lui yesterday, and he did not fetch Rainy at all; it was me. In the end, she went missing.”
