She turned around and took a step back. In the end, she could only walk away helplessly. He was not in there. He had gone on an overseas trip with Li Manni. No one knew when he would be coming back.
She raised her head as the taste of her bitter tears spread on her lips. What was she going to do? What to do?
She wiped her tears away and told herself it was okay. He would have to return eventually. He couldn’t possibly stay abroad his entire life. There would be another chance. She would have another chance.
She strode towards the hospital. Rainy had treatment today, and she must hurry back. Her daughter would be afraid.
The warm sunlight shone, but it could no longer warm her cold fingers. When had they turned icy cold?
In the airport…
Li Manni closed her eyes in displeasure, but she was smart enough not to let Chu Lui notice that. She wanted to spend the rest of her life abroad with Chu Lui. However, that was impossible in reality. She could not hide forever. A day would come when she had to face it. So, for her own happiness and her marriage, she was willing to resort to any means.
…
On this day, Xia Ruoxin arrived early in the morning, worried that she might have missed her chance. She stood outside the entrance of Chu Enterprise and took a step forward. She stood there disregarding her pride, wondering if he had returned. It was all for her daughter, not him. If it was possible, she wouldn’t want to see the man who had treated her so cruelly and heartlessly.
“Go. He will never see you.” Li Manni sneered. She seemed to know what she was thinking of as she advanced towards Xia Ruoxin and stood before her. Compared to the messy state that Xia Ruoxin was in, one could only describe Li Manni to be in a state of bliss. This woman had never had to go through any hardships in her life while all Xia Ruoxin ever had was suffering.
“Miss… Mrs. Chu…” The salutation left a bitter taste in Xia Ruoxin’s mouth. However, there was a ray of hope in her eyes. She was back, which meant that man was back, too.
“I told you, my husband will never see you. Please leave us alone.” Li Manni cut her off before she could continue, refusing her the chance to speak. She gave Xia Ruoxin a look with despise. Who did she think she was? Only an ex-wife of Chu Lui’s. A woman with loose morals.
“I beg you. Please let me see him. I don’t mean anything, and I never want to hurt your relationship. I just want to see him,” Xia Ruoxin humbly pleaded. She was willing to do anything as long as it would save her daughter. Besides, in her current situation, she had no pride to spare.
“Impossible. I won’t let you see him. You can stop dreaming.” Li Manni took another step closer, and she could see the bruise below Xia Ruoxin’s eye. She spat every word heartlessly, making her stand clear to Xia Ruoxin. “He will never save your daughter. He said he will hate her because she is your bastard. He will save any other child except yours. To him, you are worse than a dog.”
Every word she said was ruthless, and the force of it caused Xia Ruoxin’s body to go into shock. She retreated a few steps, unable to believe everything she has heard. Regardless of whether Li Manni has spoken the truth, it had once again caused tremendous pain in Xia Ruoxin’s heart.
