Chapter 875 - Lu Xiaohua (1/2)

These two people—one old, one young—had started fighting in secret since day one, regardless of their age. However, the older ginger was still the spicier one. After all, Chu Xiang was just a child that was not even seven. In the past, her small calculations could only be used on Song Wan, but Xia Yixuan was not Song Wan. Of course, she would not be Chu Xiang’s mother—not even her grandmother.

It was all thanks to Chu Jiang sort of protecting her. If not, no one would even know how Chu Xiang would be chased out of the house.

However, Chu Xiang already hated Xia Yixuan, and of course, Xia Yixuan also hated her passionately. Nevertheless, it was also because of Chu Xiang—this calculative child—so Xia Yixuan really did not dare to do much in the Chu family. She just carefully took care of the old granny, Song Wan, to give herself more benefits.

Time always passed hastily like how a white steed flitted past a crack.

The months flew by, and another yearly cycle began.

“Woof… woof…” A big collie ran out of the house. In the end, the floor was too slippery; and he could not slow down in time as his four legs wobbled as if he was skateboarding, causing him to slide all the way in front.

Bang! He hit against the glass window.

At this time, a beautiful hand reached out and touched his head.

“You didn’t hit yourself silly, right?”

“Woof…” The collie licked his owner’s finger in a grievance. His tail still could wag, and he still could recognize people so he did not hit himself silly.

The hand was retracted back, and the person stood up.

She was wearing a long dress that reached her toes, with black and soft shoulder-length hair. She had a perfect, pretty face; her eyes were perpetually wet as if it was covered by mist, making it slightly dark. At this time, the setting sun cast her shadow onto the floor, which showed off her smooth and fair skin and skinny figure.

That woman’s red lips were slightly pointing upwards, and naturally, she had an arc smile with overly-white skin.

This woman was very beautiful… overly beautiful like she was around the age of twenty. However, within the eyelid, a very long time had passed; and perhaps a whole life was already over.

She squatted again and hugged the collie’s head while combing its clean fur.

“Charlie, you seem to have gotten fatter.” Her voice was slightly hoarse and was especially charismatic; it seemed like a sigh, a whisper, or perhaps the pain… of breathing.

“Woof… woof…”

The collie, around half a person’s height, rolled around on the floor. Perhaps he was using his might to show that it was not fat, not fat at all. Master, he was pretty skinny even though he did become slightly fatter recently; he was still a very healthy and fit dog.

The woman hugged the collie’s head again. When she smiled—for some reason, some sort of bitterness was in it.

“Xiaohua, we’re going to register your name.”

Lu Jinrong walked over and squatted in front of the woman. He extended his hand and ruffled Charlie’s head. “Why did you become fat again?”

“Woof…” Charlie was unwilling as he whined in a grievance to his owner.

“Okay.” The woman finally raised her head, and there was a faint smile on her white and flawless face. However, there was always a layer of mystery in between her eyes.

This was her real first day of being Lu Xiaohua.
