<h4>Chapter 789: She Would Not Acknowledge Her</h4>


    The wealthydy seemed to figure out that there was something wrong, but she just smiled and did not say much.


    “I’ll go to the toilet.” She stood up and prepared to go to the washroom to touch up. Sigh, when a person was old, she had to do more touch-ups than a youngster. Recalling back when she was young—even if she did not put on much makeup, she was still a beauty. However, at this age, her skin had be thicker; and when she put on makeup, it was much scarier than before. If she did not touch up, she felt that she could not even see people.


    She took out a mirror outside and looked at her face for a very long time before sighing and going into the toilet. To her surprise, she met a youngdy, washing her hands for a child. She seemed familiar; where did she see her before? It was only until she went closer did she realize where the familiarity came from.


    “Ruoxin, are you Ruoxin?”


    The wealthydy asked with uncertainty.


    Xia Ruoxin turned around. When she saw the person, she had a bit of recollection. “Hello, Auntie Tang.” She smiled and let Rainy stand in front of her. This Auntie Tang was a famous wealthydy locally and was on pretty good terms with Shen Yijun. They used to go out for tea together, and she was quite nice to her. However, she heard that she had immigrated overseas and had not seen her in a long time.


    “Oh, right.” She pushed her Rainy in front. “Auntie Tang, this is my daughter. She’s four and a half, almost going to five.”


    The wealthydy bent down and pinched Rainy’s cheeks. “Oh, so she’s your daughter. I was still wondering why she looked so familiar. Come Rainy, call Granny.”


    “Auntie.” Rainy called sweetly, but she refused to call her ‘granny’ and only wanted to call her ‘auntie’.


    “Call Granny.” The wealthydy corrected the child’s mistake. “You need to call Granny.”


    “Auntie.” Rainy still called her the same way. “Auntie is very pretty; you’re not a granny.”


    “Hehe...” The wealthydy held out her hand and covered her mouth. A woman’s beauty started from the details. From her movements, one could tell how delicate this woman was; and she was like this from birth. Even at her age, she was still very concerned about her looks. Rainy’s stubborn nature really made her much happier andfortable.


    She carried Rainy up and nodded towards Rainy’s features. “You look like your Mommy when she was young. You’re a little beauty, and when you grow up, you’ll definitely be prettier than your mother.”


    She touched the child’s face, and Rainy broke into a smile once again, bringing a bit of dark-blue in her shiny eyes.


    <i>This child...</i> The wealthydy smiled until her eyes formed a line.


    Oh, she knew.


    Actually, one could easily understand. This child was four or five and should be Chu Lui’s as Chu Jiang would not randomly go carry someone else’s child. Since this child was given birth by Xia Ruoxin, their ex-daughter-inw; this child must be the Chu family’s. However, she was wondering if Song Wan knew about this child.


    She was smart enough to not ask further. She took out her wallet and directly took out a red note from the inside.


    When Xia Ruoxin was about to reject, the wealthydy directly pulled a long face. “This is a meeting gift, you must ept it. Auntie did not bring much so just take it. Even though it might be a bit old-fashioned, your Auntie is fond of the traditions.”


    Rainy ced the note in her hand in front of her mother.


    “Mommy, help Rainy save the money.”


    “Why?” Xia Ruoxin bent down and ced her daughter’s long hair behind.


    “It’s for Sister Guo’er to grow her leg.”


    She said naively. Up till now, she still believed that legs could be grown.


    Xia Ruoxin ced the money into her wallet and ced her hand carefully on her daughter’s stomach before carrying her.


    Rainy was so obedient. In the future, she must live healthily.


    Rainy did not understand why her mother looked dejected. She raised her small hands to pat her mother’s shoulders, just like how her motherforted her.


    When the wealthydy came out of the washroom, she smiled less genuinely as her gazended on Chu Xiang. However, the smile on her face was still eptable as the frustration in her heart grew.


    She really could not understand how some people thought.


    Actually, no one knew how the word spread. However, when Song Wan brought Chu Xiang out to meet her friends, someone asked right in front of her face.


    “Wan Wan, doesn’t your Chu Lui have a four-year-old daughter? The one that was given birth by the Xia household one?”


    “Yes, Wan Wan. Don’t you know? However, it seems like your Chu Jiang knows about it. I had seen him carrying a child that was obviously much smaller than Chu Xiang.”


    “Wan Wan, you’re so lucky. Didn’t you alwaysin that you didn’t have a grandchild? Look, you have one that was already four.”


    Song Wan was asked until she felt embarrassed. Luckily, the matter of her stealing the child’s kidney to save Chu Xiang was not exposed; if not, she could forget about going out anymore.


    However, she was asked until her face turned red; and she did not know how to answer even Chu Xiang who was standing beside her was feeling very awkward.


    When she got home, she vented her frustrations on Chu Jiang.


    “Was it you who told other people about Rainy?”


    Chu Jiang was very frustrated by her questions. He did not understand how a normal person could be like this.


    Even if he said it, was this not the truth?


    Chu Jiang did not exin. Just because Chu Xiang was here, could he not acknowledge his own granddaughter? That was his biological one.


    “I won’t acknowledge her.”


    Song Wan said coldly. She would not acknowledge her. Perhaps she did in the past, but now, she had already brought the child so much harm. How could she have the courage to acknowledge her? She had even taken her kidney to save her adopted granddaughter.


    If other people found out about this, she would lose all her face.


    To be honest, it was not that she did not love Rainy or she loved Chu Xiang; at the end of the day, she thought of herself the most. In the past, she was kind-hearted and knew when to take a step back because many things had nothing to do with her. However, it was different now as it was rted to her; and things were much moreplicated.


    Chu Jiang really felt that Song Wan was bing unreasonable.


    If she did not want to acknowledge her, why could he not do it on his own?


    Chu Jiang could not take the nagging and moved to his son’s house. Moreover, Chu Lui had not returned in a long time because one Chu Xiang had wreaked havoc in the Chu family.


    Xia Ruoxin did not know anything about this as her arm was still injured so she was stuck at home and did not go out much. Hence, she had also sessfully dodged the rumors.


    She took out her phone and wanted to give Shen Wei a call.


    “Shen Wei, it’s me.”
