Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 516 If People Had A Heart

Before Brother San killed somebody, Shen Wei carried the child in his arms into her embrace, gently lulling the child to sleep as she did so. At that moment, a ray of gentleness scattered in her pupils.

Brother San walked over, took off his clothes, and put it over Shen Wei.

“You’re going to catch a cold if you wear so little.”

“Thanks, Brother San.” Shen Wei smiled, presenting the child in her arms to Brother San as if she was a treasure. “Cute little fella, isn’t

she?

“Yeah.” Brother San nodded. He rarely met children. However, it could be considered rare to see such a beautiful and well-behaved child.

“Chu Lui’s child.” Shen Wei’s red lips curled slightly upwards. “A big company’s CEO with a net worth of over several billion, and yet his daughter grew up under such harsh living conditions. Can you believe it? When she fell sick, they couldn’t even afford the hospital bills. The child’s mother had to sell her body just to pay for the hospital fees.”

She sat down, lightly caressing the child’s small face. “Just like me. Brother San, could you imagine? The eldest daughter of the Shen family, stooping so low as to sell her body just so she could repay all that debt.”

“Wei...” Brother San walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. “It’s alright, everything is in the past now.” Shen Wei’s eyes were a little clouded. Brother San hadn’t seen her so vulnerable in a long time.

Firmly blinking away her tears, Shen Wei leaned against Brother San and gently closed her eyes. The little child in her arms slept soundly, unaware of the sufferings in the world.

Brother San placed his hands on Shen Wei’s face. Nobody realized that for a second, a deeply affectionate gaze flashed across his eyes.

“Wei, do you know? I realized that you’ve changed from before. Finally, you’re starting to have your own opinions and feelings. You’re not like a walking corpse anymore.”

Shen Wei didn’t know that she had fallen asleep. She slept very soundly. She hadn’t slept so soundly before. The small child with the milky aroma lay in her arms, just like the best sleep-inducing medicine in the world. Almost every day, she could sleep until sunrise; and she never had those dreams again.

...

“Ruoxin.” The sudden greeting caused Xia Ruoxin to lift her head. She saw that Gao Yi had entered the room while she was daydreaming with the phone in her hand.

“What’s wrong? Missing your daughter?” Gao Yi sat down, confiscating the phone in her hand and placing it back in its original place.

“A little.” Xia Ruoxin was actually still feeling quite upset. “Rainy and I have never been separated before. Not even for a day... but why, why do I feel so abandoned?”

“Hehe...” Gao Yi started laughing. “The child is growing up. She will have to learn to be independent sooner or later. If you’re so overly attached to her, what are you going to do when she gets married?”

“I hadn’t thought about that before because it’s still so far in the future.” Xia Ruoxin only knew that her daughter was still three-years-old and that she was unbelievably small. She was still a child; she barely even grew up. How was she going to get married and give birth to children? Xia Ruoxin truly believed that she would have to wait until her next lifetime for that to happen.

“Ruoxin, come over, I have something to tell you.” Gao Yi reached his hands out towards Xia Ruoxin.

Xia Ruoxin placed her hand in his, and Gao Yi clasped them tightly. At that moment, he felt a sense of reluctance. Yes, that was right, reluctance. He was going to firmly hold onto her and latch onto her for his entire life. He was never going to let go.

No matter what happened.

The two of them sat on a sofa not too far away. Just then, a ‘drip-drop, drip-drop’ sound could be heard from outside. It sounded like the snow melting. It was very cold outside, but inside the house, it was extremely warm. Their eyes were filled with layers and layers of warmth as they gazed at each other.

“Ruoxin, let them meet Rainy.”

Gao Yi suddenly said. Xia Ruoxin was stunned for a moment. The fingers on her thigh tightly clenched into a fist; she didn’t want to. A large palm reached towards her. The man’s hands were a lot larger than hers. His dry palm seemingly wiped away the little drops of perspiration within her palm.

“Ruoxin, listen to me.” Gao Yi sighed. He clasped her hands tightly and placed them on his knee.

“No matter what, Rainy is still a child of the Chu family. It’s an indisputable fact.”

“They didn’t raise her.” Xia Ruoxin turned her head away. She refused-she refused to accept this more than anything else in the world. Just as she rejected Shen Yijun, just as she refused her own mother. Rainy was not going to have any grandparents, and she was not going to have the Chu family.

“I know.” Gao Yi gripped her hands again. “The Chu family will never have another child.”

Xia Ruoxin clenched her fists, her fingers digging into the flesh of her palms, similarly digging into the flesh in her heart.

She knew that, too.

However, did it have anything to do with her?

Gao Yi lifted his fingers, gently brushing her hair behind her ears. “Ruoxin, you’re not that kind of person. Don’t let all that hatred cloud your heart. I wish for you to just be you. I don’t want your hatred to give birth to another you.”

Shen Yijun already pushed her to the edge. She was supposed to be her closest family member, and yet now she was the person that Xia Ruoxin hated the most. This almost made her lose herself. If she were to do the same to the Chu family, he was really afraid that she would end up killing herself.

Only when people had a heart would they then overthink. Once they lose their heart, nothing would matter to them anymore.

That’s why... so what if they met Rainy? So what? Rainy would still be Rainy.

“Furthermore...” he continued, determined on breaking down her walls.

“The more you don’t let them see her, the more they would want to see her. At the end of the day, you’re still going to have to let them meet her. Hiding and avoiding is never the best way out.”

Xia Ruoxin remained silent. She understood what Gao Yi meant. However, she still refused.

Song Wan stood in front of the Xia household once again. Actually, she did not know why she was there herself. She just felt that by the time she realized it, her two legs had already brought her there.

The door opened from inside, and she walked in.

The Xia household then looked very foreign to her. If the situation with Yixuan didn’t happen, the Chu family and the Xia household-her and Shen Yijun-wouldn’t be meeting under such circumstances. They wouldn’t be so distanced. Now, sitting face to face, a sense of awkwardness befell them.

“What’s wrong? You’re not bringing your granddaughter to school today?” Shen Yijun poured a cup of tea for Song Wan. “I know you used to like to drink this. Coincidentally, the doctor said that I should drink more of this, too.”

She touched her own face: there were many wrinkles, and her hair had turned white. She had finally started to age. She was no longer young anymore. It was just that after living for such a long time, she actually came to realize that she had done absolutely nothing with her life. Her entire life just passed in a blur.
