Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 543 She Finally Won

Rainy’s tiny body was scooped up. She reached out her small hands and clutched onto Gao Yi’s neck. “Daddy...” Her voice left Chu Lui bitterly staring at the close-knit family of three. However, he could only stand there, unable to speak a single word to them.

That was his daughter, his biological daughter.

Yet right now, she was in the arms of another person, calling another person ‘daddy’; whereas he was... this biological father here was busy being hated on by her.

“Let’s go.” Gao Yi hugged Rainy in one hand and held Xia Ruoxin’s hand in the other. Finally, they had gotten over the threat. In the future, nothing was going to happen ever

again.

“Alright.” Xia Ruoxin was dragged along by him. Nobody was going to look down on her or criticize her ever again. A woman as pitiful as her, who could blame her? Then again, who had the right to blame her?

Shen Yijun hastily approached them, and her gaze landed on the child in Gao Yi’s arms.

“She really looks like you when you were young.” Shen Yijun couldn’t bear to take her eyes off that small face. If she could redo everything again, she wouldn’t want to be part of the Xia household. She would only want her daughter, and that would be enough for her.

Everything she had right now, they were all in exchange for her daughter. She had never doted on her, never loved her, and definitely had never given up her everything for her just like how she did for Rainy.

Xia Ruoxin was a good mother. Yet, as her mother, all she had done was let her daughter down time and time again.

“Rainy, I’m your grandma. Let Grandma take a good look at you, alright?” Upon seeing how Xia Ruoxin refused to speak a word to her, she had no choice but to speak to the child in Gao Yi’s arms. However, Rainy only lifted her head before crawling back into Gao Yi’s embrace. She had long known that Mommy didn’t like this aunt called ‘Grandma’. The things that Mommy disliked, she disliked them as well.

Xia Ruoxin turned her body around, without sparing another glance at Shen Yijun. Everything that she wanted to say, she had said them already. Everything there was to be understood should have already been understood as well. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to forgive her. It was just that she really couldn’t find any single reason to forgive her. After so many years of not receiving any care or concern from her, Xia Ruoxin no longer had any expectations of her.

“Ruoxin...” Shen Yijun reached out her hand. However, in the end, she could only watch as Xia Ruoxin walked away step by step. She knew that she had no right, but was Xia Ruoxin really unable to forgive her?

Xia Mingzheng hastily came over. He could only gently hug her shoulders and provide her with such silent consolation. He actually didn’t know what to say as well.

It was only Xia Yixuan who let out a ‘hmph’ sound before stomping away in her high heels. It was nothing more than having a child; was there a need for her to act like everyone owed her something?

Although this lawsuit was a confidential trial, people’s curiosity and abilities were not to be underestimated. Somehow, information about the lawsuit had gotten out; and several people were standing at the entrance.

Upon seeing Xia Yixuan walk out, they started pointing and gossiping about her.

“Look, that should be Xia Yixuan, the one that died. Right now, she’s alive again. That’s why I say, this world really is filled with miracles. How could someone come back to life even after dying?”

“Yeah, she’s alive, but her sister went through so many hardships. Say, why would she only come back four years later if she was clearly alive the entire time?” The remaining people discussed in hushed voices. All these harsh words ceaselessly resonated by Xia Yixuan’s ears, making her come to an abrupt stop.

“Who knows? The Xia household claimed that she had lost her memory and only managed to recover them recently. I bet that wasn’t even the case. Once, I saw her holding hands with a male foreigner; and she looked super happy. Her own sister was suffering, and yet, she could still bring herself to smile. With this kind of sister-if I was Xia Ruoxin, I also wouldn’t return to the Xia household.”

Xia Yixuan ruthlessly glared at these gossiping women. Although those people were obviously nothing special, they simply glared back at her mockingly.

Did she really think that she was the same Xia Yixuan from four years ago? Without Chu Lui, she was as good as nothing. One man wasn’t enough to satisfy her so she had to go find several men. Was she lacking men or something? Some things—don’t assume that they can be done in secrecy. In this world, two might keep counsel, putting one away. The information that could be gathered from search engines was really something to be feared.

The number of people that knew about Xia Yixuan’s promiscuous deeds was way, way more than she had ever imagined. It was only Xia Yixuan who thought that she had done everything very inconspicuously. In actual fact, rumors about her had already been spread around for a long time.

Xia Yixuan’s face flushed bright red. She twisted her high heels and hastily fled the scene. She really felt that her face was extremely hot, and she slightly regretted coming back now. Although everything that those people said was true, being pointed at and gossiped about-she still couldn’t handle it.

Xia Yixuan walked at a fast pace, and the moment she passed by Xia Ruoxin, she gave her a death glare. “Xia Ruoxin, don’t be too pleased with yourself. Don’t forget, I’m the one with the ‘Xia’ surname. Every single thing in the Xia household belongs to me. Your mother is nothing more than the woman who married my father, my step-mom. Our Xia household’s assets, don’t think that she’ll be getting any of it.”

After she finished speaking and lifted her head, her eyes met with Shen Yijun’s cold gaze.

Shen Yijun actually couldn’t bring herself to cry. She only felt like laughing. Hehe. So this was the Xia Yixuan that she had doted on for the past twenty years. For her, she even stopped taking care of her own biological daughter, and in order to fake her death, she had no choice but to let her own daughter get buried. So this was Xia Yixuan.

“Yixuan, you went too far!” This time, even Xia Mingzheng got angry. How could he have such a selfish daughter-so selfish that she made him perspire from shame? Moreover, how could she speak to her mother like that? After all her years of education, how could she still not understand basic human morals?

“Yijun, don’t think too much. Yixuan is still a child; she’s not very sensible.” Xia Mingzheng frantically comforted Shen Yijun. He knew that at that moment, Shen Yijun was already under a lot of stress; and she really didn’t need another blow.

“Nevermind. What she said was right. I’m a step-mom.” Shen Yijun said with a tone of self-mockery. She had never ever truly been part of the Xia household. In the eyes of the father and daughter of the Xia household, she must have looked as if she had obtained the world. Yet, in actual fact, she had absolutely nothing; and in the end, she even ended up losing her only daughter.

Xia Ruoxin simply treated their argument as a bad joke. She lowered her head, and her heart was not-in any way-hurt. Everything happening had nothing to do with her.

“Gao Yi, let’s go.” She gripped Gao Yi’s hand tightly and walked forward. What Xia Yixuan said was right; she was the one with the ‘Xia’ surname. Xia Ruoxin had never thought of taking anything from the Xia household.

However, just when they were about to reach the entrance, they met with Chu Lui who kept staring at them. Xia Ruoxin clenched her hands firmly into fists and pressed her red lips together, so tightly that they hurt a little.

She approached him, and just as she was about to brush past him, a pair of strong hands firmly gripped onto her hands.

“Ruoxin, I still have something to say to you. Could you stop for a while to listen to what I have to say?”
