Chapter 794: Same-Gender Exclusion

“I know what you want to say.” Chu Lui interrupted her.

He stood up, turned around, walked towards the window, and pulled open the curtains. “I helped you change your, uh, that one. Um...” He added, “I also washed it. Is there anything else you need to do?”

Xia Ruoxin felt that her expression must have looked like she wanted to murder someone as she could not even cover her face. God, she was going crazy. A man actually did all of that stuff for her...? Even if it was her ex-husband, it could not happen.

Chu Lui had no expression on his face, but his heart was not calm at all. It was also his first time to do so much for a woman.

In the past, he only knew that it would come to a woman every month. However, he did not know that they needed to do all of that.

Xia Ruoxin really wanted to die, but Chu Lui wanted to live.

Luckily, this kind of things only happened once. When she wanted to stand up and go to the washroom—once Chu Lui saw her glares, he knew that could not be too overboard; if not, he would be the one that suffered.

After staying in the hospital for a few days and when Xia Ruoxin got better, she could already be discharged. As for the driver in the accident, she left it for Chu Lui to handle. As to the outcome, she did not ask much about it; but based on Chu Lui’s vindictive personality, he would not have a good time.

Currently, Chu Lui did not have much of a temper in front of her and had endured everything. However, in front of others, one should not forget that he was Chu Lui.

He did not like to let go of his enemy, even if it were a child.

“You sent Xiao Qing to the boarding school?”

When Xia Ruoxin heard Chu Lui’s words, she did not know how to react.

“He’s still so young...”

“He’s not young anymore.” Chu Lui sat over and carried his daughter. Rainy raised her head and did not know what the adults were talking about. She continued playing on her own and knew that her mother’s arm was hurting so she did not go over. Yes, her father’s skin was thicker so it was okay even if she stepped on it.

“He’s ten.” Chu Lui did not feel that Lin Qing was very young. On the contrary, a ten-year-old kid could do a lot of things like committing a crime. Besides, the child’s mentality had some problems; his intuition would not be wrong, and it would not lie to him. Hence, the best solution now was to send him to a boarding school. He agreed to let Xia Ruoxin raise him because of Guo’er and her guilt, but he had never thought that Guo’er’s death was related to them so Lin Qing had to leave them as far away as possible. This was especially so as Rainy was too young and did not know how to protect herself.

“But...” Xia Ruoxin still did not have the heart to do it.

“Your kind heart will hurt him.”

Chu Lui’s words hit the right spot.

“Why?” Xia Ruoxin did not understand how her kind heart would harm him.

Chu Lui raised his hand to ruffle his daughter’s hair. “Ruoxin, don’t underestimate a child. Sometimes, their thinking when they were just born is much more complicated than you think. When I was ten, I could already think of how to make money.” He pointed at his head and continued. “At that time, I invented this game of a chicken jumping over a wall. It was simple, but an online company spotted it and bought it from me. That was my first pot of gold. Children might be naive, but their train of thoughts is clear as day.

“Can’t you feel that the child’s dignity was very strong? What kind of role are you letting him play in our family? Do you want him to be reminded constantly that he was an orphan without parents and the misery of him being under someone else’s roof?”

Xia Ruoxin was taken aback. He did not say anything.

“He has these thoughts, but you just didn’t notice it.” Chu Lui never doubted his own words. Even though that child had hidden it very well, his eyes had already betrayed him. There was hatred in his eyes that appeared from time to time, and it was towards him.

Even though he did not know the source of his hatred, he did have it. It represented danger, and since it was dangerous, he had to leave.

Hence, the best solution now was to send the person away and let him distance away from the family. He would not treat him badly and give him the living expenses and education that he needed even more than others. However, he would not raise a dog that would bite him back by his side.

Xia Ruoxin did not agree or disagree. No matter what—like what Chu Lui said, the ten-year-old boy already had his own thinking and dignity so she had to hear the child out.

At the very least, the child needed to be respected.

Just that, she did not quite understand. Even though Chu Lui did not really like children, it did not mean that he would discriminate against them. Even though he did not have much feelings about any other children other than Rainy, he would not be harsh on them. Just like for Chu Xiang, he clearly did not like her; but he would not be a miser about what he gave her even if he had no relations with her, and he did not like her at all.

However, he was not too friendly to Xiao Qing. Was this gender discrimination?

...

“Auntie, are you okay?” Lin Qing looked at Xia Ruoxin’s arm carefully. “Is it really okay?”

“Yes, it is, don’t worry.” Xia Ruoxin touched the cast on her left arm. “I fractured my wrist, but it’ll be okay if I put this cast on for the next few months.

“Oh, right, Xiao Qing, come over. Auntie has something to tell you.”

Xia Ruoxin waved to Lin Qing and called him over.

Lin Qing walked over and stood in front of her.

Compared to when Xia Ruoxin first saw him, he really grew a lot in a short while.

“Xiao Qing, if Auntie wants to send you to boarding school, would you be willing?” She asked carefully.

Lin Qing looked down at his feet. “Is this what Auntie wants or what Uncle Chu wants?”

Xia Ruoxin did not know how to answer. She reached out her movable right hand and placed it on Lin Qing’s head. “If Xiao Qing doesn’t like it, then take it as if I didn’t say anything.”

The hand by Lin Qing’s side clenched tightly before he looked up and smiled at Xia Ruoxin.

“Auntie, Xiao Qing is willing to go to boarding school.”

Xia Ruoxin’s hand froze. Actually, she wanted to take her words back; but when she thought of what Chu Lui said, she was determined.

She was really afraid that Lin Qing would become another her, and his pure heart would be twisted. Lin Qing was much more sensitive than she was back then and had thoughts of his own. Perhaps Chu Lui’s worry was really right. At first, she wanted to adopt him and Guo’er; but now that Guo’er was gone, she did not know how to face the child. Perhaps separating for a while would be better, and the child would have more freedom.
