Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 580 A Ray of Hope

However, as long as Rainy got the doll, that was enough. It didn’t matter whether it was given by him or by anybody else, the child would still be as happy.

Xia Ruoxin hugged her daughter’s doll in her arms, gently letting out a sigh. She hadn’t forgotten about how this doll came about. She had to sell her blood to be able to buy it for her daughter, and it was also her only gift to her daughter.

“Don’t think too much about it. In the future, you won’t have to suffer anymore—both you and Rainy.” Gao Yi tightly gripped Xia Ruoxin’s hand. He could always understand her thoughts just from a glance.

“Yes, I know.” She placed down the doll in her hand and smiled at him. That smile wasn’t sad; it was just very warm. She knew that all the hardships had passed. She couldn’t forget about the past; however, the future still awaited.

“Do you like it?” Du Jingtang rubbed Rainy’s soft hair. How cute. It was just that when he thought about how they were possibly going to be unable to meet every day in the future, he felt so sad that he could die.

“I do.” Rainy firmly nodded her head. “Thank you, Uncle.” She tightly hugged the doll in her arms. Her long eyelashes fluttered from time to time, and her dainty lips were curled into an adorable smile. Evidently, she was overjoyed right now.

Chu Jiang and Song Wan were really happy as well just because their granddaughter was smiling. This was the first time—ever since they had met her—that she had given them such an innocent and happy smile.

Du Jingtang’s hands hugged the child a little tighter again. He touched the doll in Rainy’s arms with complex emotions. Cousin, you know? Your guess was correct. The little cutie was very happy to see the doll—she was really very happy. Actually, he wasn’t the one who found the doll, it was his Cousin. He used a huge amount of manpower and money to buy it from a rich businessman. At first, the man didn’t want to sell it because these types of dolls were collectibles. Cousin went time and time again to meet him but got rejected time and time again. Finally, maybe that man was touched... or maybe he was just annoyed.

Nevertheless, he sold the doll to Cousin. Of course, the price was naturally not cheap.

However, as long as he could see Rainy’s smile, he would definitely know that everything that he had done was worth it. Suddenly, Du Jingtang thought of something and took out his phone from his pocket. Then, ‘Ka-cha’! He took a picture of Rainy.

Rainy lifted her head, not feeling that anything was wrong. She even posed for him to take a picture.

“Alright, you’re such a good kid.” Du Jingtang rubbed Rainy’s face and placed his phone back into his pocket. This could be considered a memento for his cousin. He placed Rainy down and then took a look at the Chu couple. The Chu couple nodded their heads at him. The airport broadcast system had already continuously been reminding people to get ready for boarding. It was about time for them to go.

“Remember, you have to be good.” Song Wan caressed Rainy’s extremely tender face. She really couldn’t bear to part with Rainy; however, there was also nothing she could do about it.

Rainy tightly hugged the doll in her arms and very seriously promised. “Rainy will be very good.”

Song Wan stood next to Chu Jiang while Du Jingtang held Rainy’s hand and returned her to Gao Yi.

“Thank you for giving us such a long time to say our goodbyes.” He rubbed Rainy’s head and said gratefully. They could have left without telling any of them; however, they didn’t. Instead, they gave all of them the few most precious hours.

“You don’t have to thank us.” Xia Ruoxin gripped her daughter’s small hand and looked at the doll in her hand. Actually, the more that she stayed here, the sadder she felt. These parting scenes always made people feel very uncomfortable.

“Right, this is for you.” Du Jingtang took out a box from his embrace. “Little Cutie has one, and you also have one.” He placed the box into Xia Ruoxin’s hand. Xia Ruoxin gripped the box, unable to understand why he was giving them gifts.

She... had one as well?

“Yes. This is yours, but open it after you get on the plane.” He placed his hand on top of his head and smiled slightly. “Okay, you should get going. Remember to take good care of the little cutie, and...”—he squatted down, gently touching Rainy’s face— “Little Cutie, remember, you have to protect your Mommy as well, okay?”

Rainy hugged the doll tightly in her arms. She was going to try her best to grow up and protect Mommy.

Gao Yi squatted down and then picked Rainy off the floor. “Let’s go.” He looked at the doll in Xia Ruoxin’s arms, not saying anything. He already said this before: he wasn’t a selfish man. He wouldn’t stop her from receiving gifts.

“We’re leaving. Goodbye.” Xia Ruoxin bowed to them and tightly held the box in her hand. Then, she followed Gao Yi and walked out of the room. Rainy turned back around. She was still young and didn’t understand that they were going to a very far place. So far that it took a long time to get there, even by plane. She thought that they were just moving into another house, just like when they left their small house and went to the big house. Yes, they were moving into a new house. It was just that this house was larger and farther than she had imagined.

Of course, she wouldn’t easily be able to meet those people that doted on her as well.

She reached out her small hands and waved at them. Du Jingtang waved back. It was the first time that he really felt extremely sad. Little Cutie, goodbye. Remember that you have to live well.

Song Wan kept her gaze on her granddaughter the entire time. It was only when the three of them slowly faded from her eyes that she sobbed in silence. Her small granddaughter, her only granddaughter. She didn’t even have the time to love and dote on her granddaughter.

Chu Jiang consoled his wife, “Alright, don’t cry. If we have time, we can still go see her. Ruoxin isn’t such a selfish person. No matter what the child’s family becomes, she will still be our granddaughter.”

Song Wan nodded her head. “I understand, but by then, she wouldn’t even be ours anymore. We only have this one granddaughter, and yet she can’t openly call us her grandparents. I’m still very sad about that.”

Chu Jiang gripped his wife’s hands tightly again. He understood her feelings, and he felt the same. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t sad.

It was just that, sometimes, he still had to say words that he didn’t mean. “Don’t you still have Chu Xiang? Chu Xiang can stay with you, too. Although she isn’t blood-related, she’s still your granddaughter.”

Perhaps only Chu Xiang could stop Song Wan from having all these nonsensical thoughts and distract her.

As for Rainy, this was all that they could do for her.

No matter how heartbreaking it was, they still had to accept this result. After all, they still knew that their Chu family hadn’t died out. They still had Rainy, and that was enough. As compared to when they found out their son was infertile, right now, things were a lot better.

Perhaps they were really disappointed; however, they weren’t in despair.

They still had a tiny ray of hope.
