The second day, Song Wan took lessons with her granddaughter again . The director had told her many times that doing so would affect the other children, but Song Wan had already steeled her resolve . She was going to sit next to her granddaughter, and nothing was going to stop her .

“Teacher, is Rainy Gao not in school today?” Xiao Pangzi was upset the entire morning because he had not seen his favorite younger sister Rainy Gao for two days .

“Our friend Rainy Gao is facing some trouble at home, and that is why she will not be attending school for now . ” Teacher Xiao Meng announced with a smile on her face . In reality, however, she could not help but sigh to herself . Children are just children; they're very simple-minded . It would be better if she did not tell them that Rainy Gao would not be attending this school ever again .

Once Chu Xiang heard that Rainy Gao would not be attending school, her lips unintentionally curled upwards . She saw this as her victory . From then on, she would not have to look at that face prettier than hers anymore .

It was just that for unknown reasons—at that moment, Song Wan felt a bit uneasy . A sense of discomfort washed over her entire body . It was as if those numerous pairs of innocent eyes were filled with condemn for her .

By the time she got home, Chu Jiang was still a little taken aback .

“What happened, you're back early today . I thought you wanted to accompany your granddaughter?”

“She's your granddaughter, too . ” Song Wan weakly corrected Chu Jiang . What did he mean 'your granddaughter'? Right now, Xiang Xiang was a child of the Chu family . Did this pair of father and son perhaps have some opinions about the child that she chose?

“I didn't say she wasn't . ”

Chu Jiang was not going to argue for the sake of arguing . If she said yes, then yes; if she said no, then no .

“Hey!” Song Wan walked towards Chu Jiang and took a seat in front of him . “I feel like I did something wrong . ”

“Okay, tell me about it . I'll listen . ” Chu Jiang would always lend a listening ear to Song Wan . He was her vent bucket . Whenever anything undesirable happened, she could just pour everything out to him .

Song Wan found it difficult to start talking . In the end, she still told Chu Jiang about everything that happened the previous day . After this, she stood up, rubbing her hand from time to time . “I didn't do it on purpose, but somehow, those words just flew out of my mouth . By the time I realized what I had said, it was already too late . I couldn't take it back .

“I really didn't know that it was so cold outside the cla.s.sroom . It definitely wasn't that cold when I was walking in . Yet, the kid hasn't been going to school . She couldn't have fallen ill, right?”

Chu Jiang sighed . “You”—he shook his head

-“are not suited to be the bad guy . So why do you always have to take on the role of a villain? Both you and your son . ”

Once again, Song Wan's face flushed . This was a slap in the face, in her face .

The following day-when she sent her granddaughter to school, Song wan secretly asked if Rainy Gao was in school .

“She's not in school?” Chu Xiang looked up and pulled Song Wan's sleeve . “Why are you asking about her? She is a bad kid . ”

“It's nothing . It was just a random question . ” Song Wan patted her granddaughter's cheek . “Go on in . Granny will be here to pick you up in the afternoon . ”

“Okay . ” Chu Xiang walked into the nursery with a bounce in every step, and Song Wan's smile crumbled . She headed to the director's office, specifically to inquire about Rainy Gao .

The director found it weird . Why was the Chu family always asking about Rainy Gao?

“Mrs . Song, I'm afraid I cannot help you . ” The director could only express his regret for being unable to help her with this issue . “That child has dropped out of school . ”

“Dropped out?” Song Wan's sense of guilt instantaneously thickened .

“Why did she drop out? Wasn't she sick?” She carefully inquired, afraid to hear that the child fell sick because of what happened that day . She was not ready to bear that responsibility .

“She wasn't . ” The director could not understand Song Wan's internal struggle . He spoke gradually, making Song Wan unbearably anxious, “That child could be migrating soon . There were already plans for her to leave school . Her parents came to inform us about it a few days ago . ”

“Why, is there any reason Mrs . Song is looking for her?” The director asked, finding it strange . “I could give you the child's address and her parent's contact number . ”

“That's alright . I was just asking . ” Song Wan laughed forcefully . After she left the office, she felt relieved . Thankfully, the girl did not drop out because of her . As for what had happened, Song Wan did not take it to heart . Although she still felt slightly apologetic-in due time, that would also be quickly forgotten .

Chu Xiang had clearly become the precious first daughter of the Chu family . Although she was adopted, she still managed to gain Song Wan's favor; and Chu Lui accepted her, too . Therefore, as long as she did not have any big issues—for her entire life, she would be recognized as the eldest daughter of the Chu family and Chu Lui's daughter .

Somewhere far away, Gao Yi held Rainy's hand and headed towards the market . Rainy blinked her eyes from time to time . Her short hair smoothly stuck onto her ears, seemingly soft as cotton .

“Daddy, will Mommy be happy to see Rainy?”

“What do you think?” Gao Yi returned the question . He walked extremely slowly, matching the pace of her little legs .

“Mommy will definitely be happy because Mommy loves Rainy the most . ” Rainy nodded her head slightly vigorously . Furthermore, Rainy was very well-behaved . She finished all the homework that Mommy asked her to finish before asking Daddy to bring her out .

She hugged her doll tightly and rubbed her face against it . Then, she looked down at the doll in her arms . “Daddy, my doll got dirty . ” She pa.s.sed her doll over to Gao Yi for him to check .

Gao Yi gently ruffled her soft hair . The doll was not dirty; it was just old . No matter how good something was-after being used for a long time, it would start to seem old . “Daddy will buy you a new one, okay?”

Rainy shook her head and squeezed her doll . This doll was her most precious possession; there was no way she would want a new doll . Rainy only needed one doll . Plus, her doll was just dirty . If she threw away her doll, her doll would be very sad .

Gao Yi simply raised his eyebrows; this child sure was a devoted one .

The sun was setting in the distance, and soon enough, it was night .

Chu Lui stopped the car, took out a cigarette, and lit it . His black eyes narrowed as he blew out clouds of smoke, almost seeming like he was squinting .

He habitually puffed out smoke while narrowing his eyes . When suddenly, a small figure caught his eye . It was a really small child with a doll in her arms . His eyes widened, and immediately after, he opened the car door .

In a distance, a child turned around, seemingly searching for something .

That child had a small face and only a few strands of hair grew on her head . Her round and large eyes were distinctively black, almost like black gemstones . There was a mix of blue within the black that could only be seen if one looked carefully at her eyes . This was an extremely beautiful child, and her parents probably had good genes too . Otherwise, there was no way they could give birth to such a beautiful child .
