Chapter 541 - She Lost

Chapter 541 She Lost

“Yet, this father who wants to steal my daughter right now, what has he done? He clearly could’ve saved my daughter, but he refused to. He threw away my sickly child to accompany his wife on a trip overseas, to tour the country, to spend large stacks of money.. to show off their love. If it wasn’t for the other man I met who could save my daughter, right now, would he still have this chance to be stealing my daughter?

“Chu Lui, speak for yourself, are you worthy?”.

This was coming from a mother, an ordinary woman. These heart-shattering words, they were not an accusation; they were telling a story. Perhaps it was not much, but within every word and every sentence, there was the story of this woman’s life for the past four years. How tough and how unbearable it was; and how what helped her pull through all those intolerable moments was right before their eyes, this man who was always at her beck and call. Indeed, he really had no right to want the child back.

Chu Lui let go of his clenched fists, revealing several nail marks within the palm of his hand. Actually right now, he couldn’t bring himself to believe that he had done all these things. Was this all caused by him? No, it wasn’t. It really wasn’t. Back then, he really just wanted her to come back and beg him. That was all.

He never thought that he was forcing her into ruin. It was just that only he knew about this, Xia Ruoxin didn’t. In the end, everything was his fault.

“Mr. Chu.” The lawyer lowered his head to look at Chu Lui. Did he still want to continue? He believed that right now, anybody with a conscience would not want to do anything more to a woman like this. Did he really want to continue?

Did he want to continue down such an immoral and unethical road?

“Continue.” Chu Lui lightly nodded his head. He placed his hands on his face. Faintly between his fingers, one could seemingly see a shimmer of liquid. Was this man crying? No, Impossible. Chu Lui was a person who would never shed a tear.

His heart was cold and tough.

Shen Yijun covered her mouth. She had never known that her daughter had gone through so much suffering. Even giving birth to her child alone. Compared to her—as a mother, she really felt ashamed.

It was also right then that she recalled how selfish she had been for the past few years. In order to curry favor from another person’s daughter, she had actually hurt her own daughter this deeply. Even when her daughter desperately needed help, she went as far as to turn her back on her. While other people were leaving scars on her daughter-as her mother, she actually left another deep cut on her daughter’s heart instead.

God, what had she done? As a mother, she even told her own daughter to go and die. She also cursed that child, that child that her daughter gave birth to. That child was her own granddaughter. She practically wasn’t human, and she didn’t deserve to be one.

Similarly, they were mothers; but her as a mother, was she really worthy?

Was she worthy of that word ‘mother’?

Xinxin, I’m sorry. Mother’s sorry; I’ve let you down…

Really sorry. But what could her apologies even get in return?

It was quiet all around. Chu Lui’s lawyer stood up once again, deeply glancing at Xia Ruoxin. There was sympathy in his eyes; however, his sympathy didn’t mean that his stand would change. He was probably about to let her down. Perhaps she really was pitiful and worthy of sympathy. However, this was where his job lied; and he had to ensure that his client wins this case.

He really must win this case.

“Your honor, I have a set of documents here. Please have a look.” He personally presented the documents to the judge. “The plaintiff’s private information is included in these documents; therefore, I am unable to provide a detailed explanation of what is written inside. Conclusively, inside the documents are the plaintiff—Mr. Chu Lui’s reasons for needing custody of the child.

“Perhaps back then, the plaintiff had indeed done many wrong things. However, I vow that in the future, he would definitely love the child dearly and provide her with the best education. He will let her become the one and only heir to the Chu Enterprise.

“Mrs. Xia, you want to give your daughter the best life as well, don’t you? Since that the child has gone through so many hardships with you, how could you still bear to have her continue accompanying you through more sufferings?”

The lawyer firmly bowed to Xia Ruoxin. He had finished saying everything that he had wanted to say, and that document… he believed that it would allow the judge to make the wisest verdict.

There were provisions in the law that stated that regarding minor children above two-months-old, there were certain parental circumstances that could give parents priority over custody of the child. One of the stipulated circumstances was if the parent had undergone a sterilization operation or if they had, for any reason, lost their ability to reproduce. This point was a little hard to mention; however, it was the key to his ensured victory in this case.

The judge flipped through the documents in his hand. After reading through it, he closed both of his eyes and stood up only after a long time. It was just that… he first glanced at Xia Ruoxin, his eyes filled slightly with regret. His gaze made Xia Ruoxin’s heart freeze in an instant.

What he meant was that she was going to lose her daughter. She was going to lose her dearest daughter, was that right?

No. She continuously shook her head. She didn’t want to lose Rainy. If not, what was the point of her staying alive? She didn’t have much in her life in the first place, she only had Rainy.

The judge simply redirected his gaze to the child in Gao Yi’s arms. His steady voice sounded. “Our verdict is that Mr. Chu Lui gains custody over the child. Whereas, the child’s mother will be granted visitation rights. This way both parties shouldn’t have any objections, right?” After the judge finished speaking, Chu Lui simply closed his eyes. However, there was not a single look of victory in his eyes.

Gao Yi tightly hugged Rainy who was in his arms, his heart aching for the pale Xia Ruoxin who stood on court.

He pressed Rainy’s head against his chest. “Rainy, remember that Mommy and Daddy love you a lot.” Rainy’s both hands tightly gripped Gao Yi’s shirt, a string of transparent tears hung from her ceaselessly fluttering eyelashes.

The young her seemingly already understood something. She was leaving Mommy, wasn’t she? She didn’t want that daddy, she only wanted Mommy.

Song Wan tightly clutched Chu Jiang’s hands. She was, in actual fact, emotional because the child was theirs. The child was clearly theirs; but none of them felt happy. None of them felt joyful. Perhaps the results were within their expectations. However, it still carried an unbearable weight with it.

“Alright. This court is adjourned.” The judge packed up his things. Whereas the document on the table… it was the document containing information about Chu Lui’s infertility. For this man, this child was going to be his only child for the rest of his life and the only blood vessel of the Chu family. On top of this, with the Chu family’s financial capabilities, they were definitely able to provide the child with the best care and lifestyle. As for the child’s mother, nobody has the authority to deprive her of her rights to the child; and she should be able to visit her child at any time.

The judge left his seat, and just as he was about to leave the room, a voice that could be described as tender resonated by his ear.
