Chapter 687: Disliked Granny

Chu Lui leaned against the wall. There was a faint alcohol smell in the air. It was mesmerizing, but it made people feel uncomfortable.

“Because of Chu Xiang...”

Chu Jiang, on the other side, kept quiet. Actually, he did not need his son to further explain for him to understand. He himself knew Xia Ruoxin’s intentions. Since young, Rainy had suffered so much as a child so Ruoxin would not allow her to come into any harm anymore. To others, the Chu family might be a piece of good meat, and even if they could not get a bite of it, they would want some oil on their lips. However, as for Xia Ruoxin, she wished they would distance themselves away from her.

The only reason why she would let them take Rainy for a few days was because of Chu Jiang, and yet there was Chu Xiang’s awkward presence.

“Mommy, am I not going to Grandpa’s house anymore?” Rainy asked again with much uncertainty. Her small apple face demanded people’s pity; it looked like a carrot with some meat on her face, but there was no meat anywhere else.

“Yeah, you’re not going.” Xia Ruoxin pinched her daughter’s apple face. “Go play on your own. Mommy will cook some delicious fish for you later.”

“Thanks, Mommy.” Rainy happily hugged her mother before asking softly, “Then, Mommy, can Rainy go see Meow Meow?”

That lazy cat?

Xia Ruoxin could now confirm that that cat was a weird lazy bum. It was too lazy to move so it definitely would not hurt Rainy.

“Okay, go.” She patted her daughter’s head and allowed her to play. At first, Rainy still had a look of reluctance on her face and did not want to talk much because she was going to the Chu family. Once she did not have to go, she was much better and was energized again.

When she was about to enter the kitchen to prepare, there was a knock on the door outside.

She walked over and opened the door. She was surprised to find that it was Chu Jiang.

Why was he here?

“Sorry, Ruoxin.” Chu Jiang was holding a bag of items. “Can I come over to accompany her?”

Chu Jiang smiled. He was not a harmonious elderly and had reduced the ruthlessness that could not be compared to Chu Lui. His personality had become less harsh with time.

He had also reached the stage of doing everything for his granddaughter. Since his granddaughter did not want to go back, he came here instead.

Xia Ruoxin did not expect Chu Jiang would come over himself.

She opened the door and let Chu Jiang in before taking out a pair of slippers. “This is Chu Lui’s.” Of course, it was put here on purpose by some man, but she did not stop it. Even though they were no longer a couple, they had a common daughter. Regardless of everything else, Chu Lui was especially nice to Rainy so she would not stop him. Besides, he came over to join them for a meal every once in a few days so she could not let him be barefooted.

Chu Jiang was surprised to hear the news.

“Your son left it here on purpose. If you don’t mind, you can wear it.”

Of course, Chu Jiang would not mind. Actually, he did not need a pair of slippers as he was already prepared to go barefoot. After changing into the slippers, he walked in and started looking for his granddaughter.

At a small corner, Rainy was there.

He walked over lightly.

When Xia Ruoxin came back, she saw Chu Jiang and Rainy sitting on the floor together staring at that silly cat like fools.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door again. Xia Ruoxin had a knife in her hand and went to open the door. Her stature scared the man outside before he recovered his senses and stood there nonchalantly.

“Do you want to use the knife and chop me up?” Chu Lui invited himself in as if he was walking in his own backyard.

Xia Ruoxin lifted the knife and said lightly, “You would not understand what happens after a woman of an established family is forced by life’s circumstances.”

What was that? Chu Lui opened the shoe cupboard and searched for his slippers, but he could not find it so he had to be barefooted.

Xia Ruoxin stood properly and brandished her knife. “Actually, I was an elegant lady from an established family who knew nothing about the terrors of life, but in the end, I was forced by circumstances to become a crazy woman.”

Chu Lui, “...”

Not long after, he found out where his shoe went.

When Xia Ruoxin came out with a dish, there was another grown man in that corner. Two adults and one child, staring at a dumb cat at the same time. One of them was even wearing a western formal suit with no footwear. The three of them really looked ridiculous.

Rainy stretched out her foot, and Chu Lui compared his foot with his daughter’s amusingly. His heart melted completely. How could a foot this small walk?

Suddenly, there were two more people in her home; but she did not know how to feel. However, they were still guests after all.

She did not say much, but she was decent when treating her guests.

Chu Jiang also did not complain about the plain dishes and ate them happily.

After dinner, she went into her room to arrange her documents and left Rainy with her Grandpa.

Chu Jiang carried the daughter.

“Does Rainy like Granny?”

“No.” Rainy shook her head. “Rainy doesn’t like Xiao Jie Jie’s Granny at all.” She continued as she played with her finger; even though her mother told her to like people and not hate them.

Chu Jiang rubbed his granddaughter’s head.

“Rainy, do you want to go to Grandpa’s?” He tried to ask again.

“No,” Rainy answered in all honesty. Her face looked normal, and she said her words seriously. A four-year-old child would not lie.

Chu Jiang sat down and played with his granddaughter again until that fat cat lazily opened its eyes. However, it did not even move its head and curled back into a ball after it realized there was no one else by its side.

...

Xia Ruoxin went up to the eighteenth floor to fetch herself some water. Once she walked into the pantry, a woman exuding a certain fragrance walked in.

She took the cup and placed it by her lip as she watched the woman enter Chu Lui’s office. The secretary did not even look up as she knew that even if she went to fight with her now, she would still rush into the office.

As expected, Xia Yixuan slammed the door open.

Once the door opened, Chu Lui smelled the strong perfume smell.

He conveniently picked up something from the table.

“Lui...”

Before Xia Yixuan could finish her sentence, something was sprayed at her without warning. Instinctively, she used her hand to block; but the strong smell caused her nose and eyes to water.

“Brother Lui, what are you doing?” Xia Yixuan almost yelled.

“Nothing, I just like this smell. I would use it to purify the air when I have nothing to do.” Chu Lui shook the bottle in his hand. It was a bottle of a very strong repellent that was effective against certain bugs.

Xia Yixuan was close to cursing. Purify the air? If everyone used insect repellent to purify the air, then what was the use of air fresheners?
