Chapter 535 Helpless Scramble
It was only after Rainy’s tiny figure ran into her room that Gao Yi approached Xia Ruoxin and placed his hands on her shoulder. “Ruoxin, tell me, what’s wrong? What happened?”
In an instant, he felt Xia Ruoxin’s shoulder shrink. Xia Ruoxin lifted her head. She blinked her eyes gently, and tears started streaming down the side of her face. She couldn’t keep herself calm, and she couldn’t bring herself to not worry.
“Ruoxin, tell me, what on earth is going on?” Gao Yi’s fingers frantically wiped away the teardrops on her face. He hadn’t seen her cry like this in a long time. Why was she so sorrowful and uneasy now? What on earth had happened?
“Gao Yi…” Xia Ruoxin called out Gao Yi’s name. Between her lips, it was possible to taste an extreme bitterness. “Tell me, what should I do, what should I do…?” She repetitively said. Gao Yi simply embraced her ceaselessly-trembling body in his arms.
“Tell me what happened. Don’t worry. How come you keep forgetting that you’re not alone? You still have me.” His hands were firmly placed on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulder. The warmth radiating from his body ironed out Xia Ruoxin’s extremely uneasy heart.
Her red lips were quivering. She was scared to death and practically about to have a breakdown.
“Gao Yi, Chu Lui wants to steal Rainy away. He wants to steal my daughter. He’s going to use legal means to try to steal my daughter away. I’m scared, I’m really scared of his unscrupulous nature. He’s a demon. I know that he will try to steal my daughter away regardless of all consequences.”
Gao Yi gently patted Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders, soothing her current uneasiness. He knew how nervous she was-Rainy was her life. If he really took Rainy away from her side, then didn’t that practically equate to him taking her life away?
“Don’t worry. I won’t let Rainy leave you. I won’t let anything or anybody steal her away.”
A man without any sense of responsibility. How could he be worthy of having such a great daughter? He could actually be this cruel, making the same woman so grief-stricken again. Chu Lui, this man… there was practically no remedy for his soul.
Although Gao Yi’s consolation didn’t make Xia Ruoxin feel any more relaxed, it did give her a sense of support. At the very least, she wasn’t alone; and she wasn’t left high and dry, right? She placed both of her hands on Gao Yi’s hip. Her heart was uneasy, her soul was trembling, and her body was frozen stiff. She hugged Gao Yi’s waist tightly while Gao Yi continued to pat her shoulders, silently comforting her.
Behind the door, Rainy was hugging her doll. She squatted on the floor, both her eyes abnormally bright. However, on her small face, the previous traces of happiness were nowhere to be found. She stuck the doll next to her face.
“Mommy, Rainy won’t leave Mommy…” Her small voice was laced with an immeasurable sense of injustice. However, none of the adults outside could hear it.
Inside the Chu Enterprise, Du Jingtang glared at Chu Lui. He had been glaring at him for about an hour already. He didn’t mind that his eyes were sore. Even if his eyes were sore, he wanted to see if Chu Lui was willing to let him look on.
He reckoned that nobody would like being treated as a monkey, especially not in such a straightforward manner. This very annoying gaze would definitely make any person uncomfortable.

“Are you done looking?” Chu Lui didn’t raise his head. With a ‘pa’ sound, he closed the document in his hand and signed his name on it. His voice did not waver; neither did it have any emotion. Just like his face, it had no emotion.
“No.” Du Jingtang answered honestly. He still couldn’t tell what Chu Lui was thinking; that’s why, as of now, he still wasn’t done looking at him.
“Then, you continue doing that.” Chu Lui picked up another document; he was very busy. If Du Jingtang wanted to look at him, then so be it. However, he had better finish his work. Otherwise, when work ends, everything he doesn’t finish will be forced into his mouth.
“Cousin…” Du Jingtang stood up and placed both of his hands on Chu Lui’s office table. He lowered his voice, “Are you really sure that you want to fight for custody over Rainy? Did he really have to do this?
In this world, there really were too many coincidences and accidents. He would never have thought in his wildest dreams that the little girl he liked a lot was actually his cousin’s and Xia Ruoxin’s love child. That little cutie was related to them by blood. It made him emotional for many days. It was just that after all that excitement, there was an unexplainable complication to the situation. There was only one child. The Chu family wanted her, but there was no way Xia Ruoxin was going to give her away.
There was also no way for them to split Rainy in half. Other than that, he really couldn’t find another method that would satisfy both parties. Four years passed in the blink of an eye; there was no way Xia Ruoxin was going to give Rainy to his cousin. It was just that the Chu family only had this one child. Even without his cousin, his Aunt and Uncle would also never let Rainy wander about in a life of poverty.
Nevertheless, wasn’t this still being a little too cruel to a woman? Anyway, he really wasn’t going to just overlook this. All of Xia Ruoxin’s bitter encounters, he had watched over them from the beginning to the end; and he didn’t think that his cousin had any authority to get his daughter back. In fact, he had no right at all. However, with his ‘Du’ surname, he was in no position to say anything. His thoughts were one thing, but acting on them was a different
thing.
“Otherwise, what do you think? Without Rainy, are you just going to let our Chu family die out? Or are you going to give birth to my child for me?” Chu Lui nonchalantly said. From the beginning to the end, he never changed his posture. However, discreetly, between his eyebrows, a faint crease had formed. Even his ambiance had become a lot more serious.
If there was still another road for him to go down, then he definitely wouldn’t be doing this. He wouldn’t ruthlessly rip open that wound from four years ago. This—for him and for Xia Ruoxin—was only suffering.
However, he had no choice.
“Cousin. Sigh… you decide yourself. I’m going to go see Rainy.” Du Jingtang helplessly heaved a heavy sigh and then walked out. However, he didn’t realize that it was only then that Chu Lui lifted up his head; and suddenly, he stood up as well.
He wanted to see Rainy, too. However, what Rainy felt towards him really could be described as ‘hatred’. His own daughter disliked him; she even detested him. As a father, he really was a failure. Everybody had hugged her before except for him, the father. As long as he tried to approach her—if she didn’t run away, then she simply cried. He could only watch her from afar, afraid to take half a step forward.
He followed Du Jingtang out of his office.
Du Jingtang was like a porter. Things were hanging from his neck and in his hand. Of course, in his arms, he was carrying Rainy. He practically loved this child to death. She was way more well-behaved than that Chu Xiang and also sensible. Yet, she didn’t have that many things that she disliked or hated.
