Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 822: Lady is Still Soft

When Song Wan heard this, she sighed unwittingly. Ever since that incident, the relationship between the mother and son became even worse. He had not even called back much, not to mention going home. In a few days, Xiang Xiang was going to have her parents-teacher meeting and needed her parents to go. She wanted Chu Lui to attend, but judging by Chu Lui’s personality, it was impossible. The only daughter he acknowledged was the one that went missing.

Once she thought about the child going missing due to her carelessness, she felt something heavy in her heart. Even though it had been quite some time since the incident and she had also pushed the responsibility to Xia Ruoxin without anyone suspecting, she still could not get past her conscience.

“Granny...” Chu Xiang ran over, and after being raised and pampered in this family, she had a wealthy aura around her; perhaps one could also say that it was built with money.

Chu Xiang was already in primary two and had grown taller by quite a bit. She was a child that had decent looks, and with this kind of family background, she was a famous elegant lady in her school.

“Granny, is Daddy going with Xiang Xiang to the parents-teacher meeting?” She asked Song Wan expectantly. Normally, once Song Wan agreed on something, it would definitely succeed. Her father would definitely go, right? Even if it was just standing there, there would not be anyone gesticulating towards her in the future.

She knew that she was not born into a good family, and everything she had now was stealing the Chu family’s limelight. Even though she could not choose her birth, she still wanted everyone to know that she was the child that the Chu family loved and doted on; she already knew how to calculate and plan for herself.

If her father did not go, then what was she going to do?

“Uh, Xiang Xiang...” Song Wan ruffled Chu Xiang’s hair gently. Once Chu Xiang heard this, she had a very bad feeling. Daddy was not going, right?

As expected, Song Wan’s next sentence killed all of Chu Xiang’s hopes.

“Xiang Xiang, Granny will go with you, alright? Your Daddy is busy with his business.”

“Okay, Granny, I know.” Chu Xiang smiled grudgingly. In front of Song Wan, she was always obedient and would not talk back. That was why Song Wan loved her so much.

On the other hand, Xia Yixuan rolled her eyes.

That lady was still young. She had already played this method when she was four or five.

She was just an adopted child; in the future—when she and Chu Lui had children, she would definitely kick this child out. She only knew how to act all day... how disgusting.

She admired the nails that she just got and was not in a good mood. After so many twists and turns, she realized that the number of men around him was as many as the stars. However, the best was still Chu Lui. How could she be so dumb at the start and ditch such a good man like Chu Lui?

Instead, she found this little thing that did not have anything and only knew how to say that she was pretty. In the end—after a few years, he changed. He made her pay for their living expenses, but she had not reached the stage of providing for a sugar boy so she kicked the man away. Afterward, she found a few other men; but she realized that Chu Lui was the one who suited her the most. Who knew... Xia Ruoxin had stolen him away?

However, it was better now. There was no Xia Ruoxin in this world anymore... only her, Xia Yixuan.

As to whether other women had a chance or not? She did not know. She only knew that as long as Song Wan was here, Chu Lui would be hers eventually.

The more she thought, the happier she felt; and the curve on her lips became even more obnoxious.

Xia Yixuan would always have the things that she wanted. Besides, Chu Lui was originally hers.

Since the mountain did not want to come over, she would go find it instead. Everyone said that one had to go to the tallest building first to get the moon. At the very least, Song Wan was here so she had a pretty good chance of winning.

Song Wan’s gaze landed on Xia Yixuan unwittingly, and until now, the urge that she could not suppress was still there.

Far away, the sun finally set; and Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes, unsure of how long she had slept.

“You’re awake.” Jia Xinbao adjusted the drip speed. “How is it? Are you better? After you finish this bottle of drip, you should take a good rest. After about two more days, you’ll be much better.”

Xia Ruoxin did not reply and just stared at this young man who smiled until one could not see his eyes and only his teeth.

Jia Xinbao was speaking the truth as he almost got mesmerized by this pair of eyes. He was approaching his thirties and had seen many women in his time, including naked ones. As a doctor, he had seen a woman’s body countless times. Now, women in front of him were just like meat; he did not have much feelings for it.

However, just now, he almost fell for this woman’s eyes. On her face as big as a palm, there was only this pair of eyes. She was so skinny, and yet she could grow until this state; it must be a miracle. She was not ugly and was very pretty. He was wondering if this woman’s skeleton would be prettier than others after she died.

“Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes again and continued to sleep, though she could not sleep anymore.

Upon seeing Xia Ruoxin’s closed nature, Jia Xinbao did not stay any longer and could only shut the door gently.

“She’s awake.” He gestured inside and told Chu Lui.

Chu Lui came out from the kitchen and did not even take off his apron. The part-time helper just bought a chicken, and he was still boiling it. He heard that this cooking method was passed on for decades and it was decent. If not, he would not have paid such a high price for this person to come back. Of course, the chicken was killed by him; and feathers were also plucked by him.

Carefully, he brought the chicken soup in; and as expected, Xia Ruoxin was already awake. She opened her eyes, and her face was still in a daze as her eyes landed on something. She only knew that something was already entering her bloodstream drip by drip, and it was cold.

“You’re awake.” Chu Lui walked over, sat down, and placed his hand on her face. When he felt that there was some warmth on her face, he heaved a sigh of relief. She was indeed much better, and he was relieved.

“Sit up. Let’s drink some soup.”

Xia Ruoxin sat up, and one hand was already on her back. The hand hit the pillow behind her and let her sit upright.

Then, he took the bowl over and fed her slowly, mouth by mouth. The taste of the chicken soup was light and did not hurt her stomach. Xia Ruoxin drank a mouth. The taste was decent and was not too bad. Of course, it tasted good; but she could not eat much now. However, she liked this soup pretty much.
