Chapter 745: I Only Care about Bloodline
“Mom, why did you call me here?” Chu Lui asked Song Wan lightly. He did not understand where his kind and understanding mother went. Now, her entire body was filled with thorns and was bent on p.r.i.c.king people.
“Can’t I look for you even when there’s nothing? Are you still my son?” Song Wan started p.r.i.c.king people again so Chu Lui kept quiet and let Song Wan scold him.
“Take Xiang Xiang out to play tomorrow,” Song Wan ordered his son, and yes, this was an order—not a discussion.
“Mom, I need to look for Ruoxin.” Chu Lui lowered his eyes and felt his head aching. “I still need to take care of Rainy; I don’t have time for Chu Xiang.”
Xia Ruoxin, Xia Ruoxin again. Once Song Wan heard Xia Ruoxin’s name, she would be furious.
How dare she hit her face? After so many years of living to this age, Xia Ruoxin was the first person to hit her. She would never acknowledge this type of daughter-in-law; neither did she want this granddaughter. She already had Xiang Xiang; what was the matter even if she was not blood-related?
“Mr. Chu Junior.” At that time, the nanny ran over. “Missy is crying.” When she finished her sentence, she found Song Wan glaring at her so she hurriedly shut her mouth and stood motionless on the spot.
Chu Lui stood up and vaguely heard his daughter’s cries.
“Chu Lui, sit down now.” Song Wan raised her voice behind him and was filled with warning. “If you dare take another step, don’t call me Mom.”
Chu Lui stopped for a while before walking on.
“Chu Lui, Xiang Xiang is your daughter, too.” Song Wan’s entire body was shaking in anger.
Chu Lui nonchalantly moved his mouth. “Mom, you clearly know she’s not.”
“Even if she’s not your biological one, she is also under your name. Is blood relations really that important? She had already come to our house for more than a year, but did you ever look at her and care for her?”
Chu Lui stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked straight at Song Wan’s unfriendly face.
“Mom, to you, perhaps it won’t amount to much; but to me, it does. I only care about blood ties.” After he finished his sentence, he left in big steps. When he came out again, he was already carrying the Rainy who had cried awake in his arms.
He only had one daughter in his entire life, only one so he doted on her and loved her. Chu Xiang had nothing to do with him.
“Daddy.” Chu Xiang chased after him and tugged on Chu Lui’s sleeves. “Daddy, can you accompany Xiang Xiang to play?” She raised her hand and tugged at Chu Lui’s sleeves hard. She only knew that she could not let her father go as her father rarely came back. Before she could talk to his daughter much, his father was going to leave already.
Perhaps to Chu Lui before, he might not like Chu Xiang but could let her stick around. However, once she saw Chu Xiang now, she would think of Rainy’s lost kidney for some reason—where exactly did it go and how did she lose it.
He opened the door and walked out in big steps.
Chu Xiang put her hand down and ran to Song Wan to hug her and cry.
“Behave Xiang Xiang. Don’t cry anymore.” Song Wan comforted his granddaughter and was so furious that it burned whatever pity and conscience she had left.
When Chu Lui came out, it was already dark outside.
“Baby, are you hungry?” Chu Lui asked the daughter in his arms. “Do you want Daddy to bring you out for food?”
“Okay.” Rainy smiled lightly at Chu Lui. Her lashes always had some moisture around it as she leaned against Chu Lui’s shoulders and clenched her hands into a fist.
“Daddy, will Mommy come back?” She muttered from Chu Lui’s arms.
“Rainy misses Mommy. Mommy will come back, right?”
“Yes.” Chu Lui placed his palm on his daughter’s head. “Mommy loves Rainy the most; why would she not come back? It’s just that Mommy got lost so she will come back after she finds her way home.”
“Mommy will find her way back and look for Rainy.” Rainy clenched her hands into a fist again to cheer for herself and her mother.
At that time—faraway, it was a starry night. Rainy placed her fist by her mouth. Mommy must be looking at the stars. Yes, Mommy was not too far away, and she would come back.
Chu Lui carried his daughter into the car and found a restaurant to get some food for his daughter before feeding her spoon by spoon. As for him, he did not touch the chopsticks or ate a single mouth.
Faraway, under the starry sky was a vast and limitless sea. On the ocean, there was a sole s.h.i.+p floating and was carried with the waves.
There was no end and no destination. When the wave hit, the s.h.i.+p started moving violently; and Xia Ruoxin grabbed the cargo rack behind her with one hand and Shen Wei with the other, in case she was too groggy and would hit her head.
In actual fact, she was right. Not long later, there was a sound of heavy objects plopping on the floor. Judging by the sound, one could know how painful it would be.
Of course, she was not speaking from experience but from foresight.
It was the conclusion they reached after hitting a few times. However, some people simply could not learn the lesson and remember the pain, just like those who had hit against the cargo shelves.
After the s.h.i.+p stabilized, Xia Ruoxin leaned towards Shen Wei and placed her hand on Shen Wei’s forehead. It was still hot. Shen Wei’s sickness was severe, but she recovered slowly.
She touched the bottle and shook it. There were not many left, and even if Shen Wei had finished all of these, Shen Wei might not even get well.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Shen Wei sat up straight and felt a jarring pain in her head. She struggled to sit up, and her entire body ached; the body ache was like the aftereffects of severe flu.
“Eat a few more tablets.” Xia Ruoxin took out the medicine bottle and poured two tablets onto her palm for Shen Wei to eat. Shen Wei took the medicine and directly put it in her mouth, eating it like a sweet.
She was used to the bitterness, and no matter how bitter it was, that had to be it.
Before Xia Ruoxin could keep the medicine in her hands, a hand reached over from somewhere and wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h her medicine. She held her medicine bottle tightly, but the back of her hand was scratched by someone. Another pounced at her to s.n.a.t.c.h the medicine.
