Chapter 538 - The Scramble



Chapter 538 The Scramble

“I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing.” The boy’s sky blue eyes were extremely transparent. Perhaps, the words that he said were really just part of an innocent and naive conversation between children. However, Rainy-who was a child-believed him, of course.

“Little Brother, you’ll really help Rainy?” She blinked her red eyes, a chain of sparkling tears streaming down her face.

“Yes.” The boy nodded his head and then stood up. “Wait for me here.” After he finished speaking, his small figure disappeared before Rainy’s eyes. Rainy hugged her doll in her arms again and quietly sat on the bench. She shuddered, feeling a little cold and hungry as well.

She wanted to eat something. The nursery was just a few steps behind her, and a lot of delicious food would be waiting for her there. She looked back at the place where the little brother last disappeared and placed her hand on her flat stomach. Finally, she hugged the doll a little tighter.

She promised Little Brother that she would wait for him. That’s why she definitely had to wait. What she didn’t know was that, at that moment, the nursery was in chaos because a child was missing. The teachers in the school were all looking for her, so anxious that they were a mess.

All the while, the child that they were looking for was sitting on top of a bench alone.

She stopped crying already; however, hey eyes stared unblinkingly in front.

The sound of extremely light footsteps resonated, and only then did the boy start walking towards her. He stood in front of Rainy and took out a piece of paper from behind him. Written on top of it were characters that Rainy couldn’t understand. Rainy was too small; the words that she recognized after all was limited—not to mention these weird-looking characters. Even with Chinese characters, she only recognized a few. She stared at the paper for a long time only to realize that she really didn’t recognize any of the words on top of it.

“Let your mother sign here, and by then, whether you want your mother or your father, nobody will be able to force you. Remember to give this paper to me tomorrow. I’ll be waiting for you here.”

He placed his hand on Rainy’s small head, and his fingers rubbed her soft hair. In his eyes, Rainy saw two of herself.

“Brother’s eyes are prettier than Dolly’s.” Rainy unwittingly said, a faint smile finally showing on her face. However, she remembered that she had to get her mother to sign the paper. This was simple; she could easily get it done.

“Rainy... Rainy...” At that moment, somebody periodically called out her name. She looked behind her and reached out her hand to pull on the little boy’s clothes. “Brother, they’re looking for me already. I have to leave. Brother, you have to wait for Rainy here tomorrow, okay?”

The boy nodded his head. “I will.”

Of course, he would. As long as she didn’t end up not showing up, everything would be as promised.

Rainy jumped down from the chair. She hugged her doll tightly and waved to the boy. Goodbye, Brother. She firmly waved her hand. The boy unnaturally reached out his hand and shook it, a look of confusion thickening on his face. This movement really was a little awkward.

It was only after he couldn’t see Rainy’s small figure anymore that he turned around. Behind him, four burly men had suddenly appeared, carefully following behind him.

Once she went home, Rainy took out the piece of paper from her bag, handing it over to Xia Ruoxin. “Mommy, you need to sign here.”

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin agreed. She opened the piece of paper and took a look. On top of it, there were weird characters; not to mention Rainy, even she couldn’t understand them. However, upon seeing her daughter’s eager look, she could only pick up her pen and sign on the paper. “Alright, here, don’t look at me like that. Otherwise, your Daddy will end up thinking that I’m bullying you.” She rubbed her daughter’s hair and placed the paper back into Rainy’s small hand.

“Thanks, Mommy.” Rainy beamed brightly, and then she carefully placed the piece of paper into her bag as if it were a treasure, hiding in her room and doing some things that nobody knew about.

Xia Ruoxin lowered her head and looked at both of her hands. Then, she faintly let out a sigh before finally walking towards the kitchen. The day after tomorrow... it was the day after tomorrow. Would she really keep Rainy be able to keep Rainy by her side?

She wasn’t making herself nervous; she just really couldn’t convince herself. She was afraid, very afraid. She really wanted time to just stop here, but how could that be possible? The more she was afraid of something, the faster it would come.

Gao Yi held Rainy’s hand in one hand, and Xia Ruoxin’s hand in another. Standing not too far away from them was the entire Chu family: Chu Jiang, Song Wan, and Chu Lui. Naturally, Du Jingtang was there as well.

“Let’s head in.” Chu Lui tried his best to make his voice sound calm. However, the rise and fall of his chest made people able to perceive that right now, he was not that calm and relaxed.

“Let’s head in, too. Ruoxin, you don’t have to worry.” Gao Yi gripped Xia Ruoxin’s hand tightly. However, he realized that since the morning, her hand had always been in this extremely cold state. She was really too nervous and too afraid.

The only thing that he could help her with was just comforting her. Because no matter how reluctant he was, Rainy did indeed have the Chu family’s blood flowing in her; and she was Chu Lui’s daughter.

Chu Lui was a publicly known figure, and on top of that, the other party was Chu Lui’s ex-wife. From the start, he had no intention of making the lawsuit public. This battle for his daughter... if it was really made known to the public, there was no knowing how distorted the information would become as it was spread around the outside world. However, those who were supposed to know about it already knew about it.

However, apart from the Chu family, the only other people who could enter the courtroom were people from the Xia household. They didn’t want to make this a big thing. However, to the child, this was actually a form of harm. It was just that they didn’t know. This action of theirs had unknowingly already deeply hurt Rainy.

“Ruoxin...” Shen Yijun emotionally looked at her daughter. She who locked herself up in the Xia house... if it wasn’t for this lawsuit, she totally wouldn’t have known that so many things had happened. Rainy’s identity had been found out by the Chu family, and right now, the Chu family was anxiously trying to gain custody over Rainy. How could this be? How could the Chu family do that? What right did they have?

That was her granddaughter, the child that her daughter gave birth to.

It was just that upon hearing her voice, Xia Ruoxin simply glanced coldly at her before brushing past her. She didn’t call her mother; neither did she acknowledge her presence.

“Ruoxin, up to now, you still refuse to acknowledge me as your Mom. Are you really planning to live your life without a mother?” Shen Yijun held onto Xia Ruoxin’s hand, not wanting to let her leave. Did she know how much she blamed herself? How much she suffered? If she could redo everything, then she would rather choose to live with her daughter than choose to personally ruin her daughter’s life.
