Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities Chapter 32

Chapter 32 - Brutally Well

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“You are a young mistress from the Xia family. How can you do a maid’s work? Did you forget your status? We can employ as many maids as we want. You did not have to do the chores!” Chu Jiang’s face reddened. He was furious. Song Wan tugged at his shirt and gave him a deadly stare. Chu Jiang barely met her eyes. He did not have a choice. As formidable as he may look, he had a great weakness—he was afraid of his wife.

No, it was not fear. It was love.

Xia Ruoxin did not reply because she knew no matter what she said, Chu Jiang would still be upset. Was there really a difference between a young mistress and a maid? Most likely in Chu Lui’s opinion, Xia Ruoxin was not even a maid.

“Dad, Mom, have you had your meal?” She forced herself to smile and looked at Mr. and Mrs. Chu. It was their first time in the mansion, and they are also her in-laws.

“No need to fuss. We are only here to visit Lui.” Chu Jiang glared, but then he was viciously pinched on his waist. He turned and looked at his wife in pain. She was violent.

“I’m sorry. Dad, Mom. He had been really busy lately. Which was why we did not have the time to go for a visit.” She had meant every word. There was no hint of flattery. As a daughter-in-law, it was not proper for the parents to make the trip.

Chu Lui was really busy at work. He had been busy humiliating and torturing the woman who had killed his fiance.

She tried to smile but failed miserably. Instead, looking a bit dazed and absent-minded.

“Ruoxin, come and sit beside me.” Song Wan could feel her eyes tearing up. This child was suffering. She knew her son better than anyone. She suspected he had an ulterior motive when he wanted to marry the Xia’s girl. And she had been spot on.

Xia Ruoxin remained standing. She was vaguely unsure of what she should do. Very seldom had someone speak to her in such a manner. In the Xia household, there was only place for her to stand.

All of a sudden, she could not handle the situation.

“How could you be so stupid? She asked you to sit. So sit.” Chu Jiang’s voice deepened.

Xia Ruoxin mouth was slightly agape. But she sat beside Song Wan. It felt awkward.

“Rouxin, tell me. Has Lui been treating you well?” Song Wan abruptly held onto her hand and realized her fingertips were ice cold.

Was she in shock? Or afraid?

Xia Ruoxin’s body lightly shuddered. There was warmth coming from her stomach. It came from Song Wan. A mother. Even though this was not her biological mother, she thought all mothers’ love should be the same.

She nodded her head lightly and managed to force a smile. “He treats me very well.” She purposely lowered her head, hiding reluctant tears under her long eyelashes.

“Very well indeed.” Yes, he treated her brutally well.

“That’s good.” Song Wan patted Xia Ruoxin’s hand. She was surprised that she actually liked this girl, even her smile and shyness. Everyone knew that the Xia family had a beautiful and adorable daughter, Xia Yixuan. But no one knew she had an older sister who was really a refreshingly pure and honest girl.

As soon as he saw the look of satisfaction in his wife’s eyes, Chu Jiang merely pursed his lips tight. He could not bring himself to like his daughter-in-law who became a maid. However, when he thought of this, it became clear to him who had made it happen.

It was that rascal son of his.

The sound of the door opening came from the doorway. Chu Lui stood in the doorway, looking very smart in his suit. Something flashed in his eyes the moment he saw his guests.
