“Mommy.”
Suddenly, she saw Rainy waving her hands at her. She was still wearing the dress from that day and hugging a beautiful doll.
“Mommy, come accompany Rainy.” She raised her chubby hand, and her apple-like face broke into a smile; her eyes became one with the seawater.
Xia Ruoxin raised her hand. Soon… soon… she was going to grab her real soon.
Baby, behave. Mommy is here. Mommy will be here, always.
On the cruise, Song Wan suddenly clutched her stomach, leaned against the railing, and started vomiting; even until she could not puke anything else out, she did not stop. This continued until she finally vomited acid out.
She slid down slowly, but when she breathed in the sea breeze, she wanted to vomit.
“Auntie, are you okay?” Xia Yixuan squatted down and asked her worriedly. However, her smirk showed that she was more than relaxed.
Finally, she got what she wanted.
Song Wan wanted to shake her head and said that she was fine. However, once she opened her mouth, she started vomiting.
She leaned against the railing and started to vomit until her tears dropped.
Humans could never make a mistake in their lives. Once one committed certain mistakes, they would have to do more things and commit even more wrongdoings. In Song Wan’s whole life, she had never even killed a dog or a cat; but now, she actually killed a person.
She killed someone.
“Yixuan, I killed someone.”
“No.” Xia Yixuan squatted in front of Song Wan and gently patted away the dust on her shoulders. “Auntie did not kill anyone. Xia Ruoxin is not dead; she just hated that you lied to her so she brought her daughter to leave. No one knows where she went, and of course, Auntie doesn’t know either, right?”
“Yes, yes. That’s exactly it.” Song Wan held her chest and turned around as her back faced the boundless sea. One would never know what kind of dangers lie in the sea.
Just that, she did not know if the soul of a person who died in the sea could return home.
At this time, Chu Lui, who was in another country, suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up. He placed his hand on his forehead, and at that time, his forehead had already broken out in cold sweat; and even his pajamas were drenched.
He closed his eyes and breathed heavily. He did not know why he would have such a dream. Actually, he had already forgotten what he dreamed of, but he only knew that the dream was terrifying. He did quite a lot of good deeds in his life and quite a lot of bad ones as well. However, he had never been scared away from his dream as he always had a clear conscience even when he did something wrong.
What did he exactly do this time?
Suddenly, the phone on his table rang. He took a look at it, and it was Chu Jiang.
He stood up, placed the phone by his ear as he went into the washroom. He turned the tap on, and the man in the mirror was still drenched in cold sweat.
“Hello, Dad? It’s me. Oh, Mom’s back. What did she say?”
Piak! The soap in his hand dropped on the floor, and because it was too slippery, it slid down to his feet.
“Okay, I know. I’ll be right back.”
When he came out, he dialed his secretary’s number.
“Xiao Chen, book the earliest ticket back home. Now.”
At this time, his secretary had a face of confusion as she stared at her husband. Both of them started doing some intense exercises, and when they were at the peak of it, her boss called her.
Luckily, they did not make any noise; if not, it would be embarrassing.
Secretary Xiao Chen hurriedly kicked the blanket aside, found the number on her phone, and booked a ticket for her boss.
In the Chu family’s mansion, Song Wan kept crying.
“What do you think she means? Did I not give in enough?” Song Wan pulled Chu Jiang’s sleeves over and wiped her face hurriedly. Then, she sneezed into Chu Jiang’s sleeve and wiped all her snot on his clothes.
Chu Jiang could only tolerate it.
“What do you think she meant by that? Where did she bring my granddaughter?”
What else could Chu Jiang say? He could only pat Song Wan’s shoulders and sigh lightly. “Let’s wait until Ah Lui comes back. Besides, we don’t have the child’s custody rights in the first place. She decides if they were to stay or leave.”
“But that’s my granddaughter. I already admitted my mistake.” When she said this, Song Wan raised her head and almost burst out crying. Yes, she was not fake crying; she was crying for real.
She was scared, petrified.
She actually killed someone.
However, in Chu Jiang’s eyes, it was sadness due to love. It was also because his beloved granddaughter was taken away. When he thought of the fact that he might not be able to see his daughter again, his eyes started to turn red. He had no doubts about what Song Wan said as based on Xia Ruoxin’s personality, she was fully capable of doing such a thing. In the first place, she rather died than give in; one could know this just based on her attitude towards the Xia household.
Just that, he had never even imagined that she would bring Rainy away without a single word just because Song Wan took Rainy for a few days.
When Chu Lui came back, it was already the second day; and his entire person was shagged. His bloodshot eyes had not closed for a few days already.
Shakily, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the door.
Bang! There was actually the smell of dust inside.
Everything did not seem to change and was just like the way he left. However, the thing that changed was that he lost the most important person to him. She left… she actually left and brought his daughter away with her. She did not even leave a word of explanation or listen to his explanations and left.
She did it so heartlessly and resolutely. What exactly did he, Chu Lui, do wrong? What exactly did he do wrong? Who could tell him?
There was something on the table. He walked over, took a look at it. It turned out to be a piece of paper with her handwriting.
“Chu Lui, I don’t want to see you ever again, or any of the Chu family. Hasn’t your Chu family harmed me enough? Now, you still want to harm my Rainy? I hate you. I hate your Chu family. Don’t look for me because you disgust me. Do you know that I want to puke every time I look at your face?”
