She heard that the child was sick and in the hospital, but no one knew what the illness was. Judging by how much weight she lost, the illness was definitely quite serious.
“Mommy said that it would grow back.” Rainy sheepishly wiggled her body.
Teacher Xiao Meng held Ruoxin’s hand tightly then turned to ask Xia Ruoxin. “Can I know what restrictions the child had? Are there any dietary restrictions?”
“Oh.” Xia Ruoxin extended her hand and placed it on her daughter’s head. “Not many restrictions; just don’t let her participate in strenuous activities.”
“Okay, I’ll note that down.” Teacher Xiao Meng noted it in her heart. The next time the school had sports activities, she definitely would not let the child participate in it.
At that time, they had no idea that in the kindergarten director’s office, Chu Lui was sitting down with his legs crossed. He, who had the charisma of a successful person and had often won profits at the business table, was currently sitting in front of the director… which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She really did not know how she had attracted such a big figure.
Chu Lui opened his eyes. “Did Director understand what I just said? Do you need me to repeat it?”
The director wiped the sweat from her forehead and hurriedly replied. “Yes, I did. However, I still don’t understand. We’re just a small kindergarten; why would Mr. Chu buy it?”
Chu Lui smirked slightly. “My daughter is here. I just want my daughter to have an easier life here by buying it. After all, she still needs to stay here for another two years.” His fingers gently flipped through some documents before raising them again. His gaze landed on a small photo on the top of it, and in the photo, the child had distinct features and was a beautiful kid. His gaze softened, and it was not because of anything else but this small child.
“She fell sick recently so there’s a lot of things she can’t participate in. I will specifically find a teacher to take care of her, but…” Once he said his ‘but’, the atmosphere in the entire room started to tense up.
The director’s hand on her leg clenched tightly to resist her urge to scream.
One million dollars to buy her inferior kindergarten. How wealthy… It was just that his presence was too intimidating which made her not able to breathe.
Also, before he could even say his ‘but’, she was scared until she broke out in cold sweats. When he said it, perhaps she would be frightened until she cried.
Chu Lui arranged the documents in his hand and passed them to the director. “This is my daughter. I hope you will keep mum about whatever happened today. To the outside world, you’re still the person in charge of this kindergarten. I don’t care if the kindergarten makes profits; I just don’t want anything to happen to my daughter. Do you understand?”
His simple ‘do you understand’—without any threats or scares—was enough to cause the director to break out in cold sweat again.
“Okay, okay,” She hurriedly answered. If she replied any slower, she was afraid that the man who was smirking would strangle her in the next second; and she had this scary suffocating feeling.
…
After sending Rainy to the kindergarten, she went to the Chu Enterprise to pack her things and leave the place. Yes, she wanted to resign. She did not want anything to do with Chu Lui anymore, including going to work at his office.
“You want to resign?” Chu Lui was calm and did not look at the resignation letter on the table.
“Yes.” Xia Ruoxin raised her eyes. “I want to quit.
“CEO, please approve.”
Chu Lui stood up and walked to the full-length window. By staring below from up there, he was like the king.
At that time, there was a sigh in his voice; but he did not know if Xia Ruoxin had heard it.
“Ruoxin, I know you don’t want to see me; and you don’t want anything to do with the Chu family. I understand. Every time you see me, you’ll think of Rainy’s kidney. However, you don’t need to leave.
“You’re doing very well at this job. If you leave, I don’t know where to find a replacement for you. I promise you I won’t appear in the same place as you. You can continue working like before… but you’re not employed by me but by that welfare home.
“So…” He walked over, took the resignation letter, and placed it in her hand. “Rainy just fell sick so she’s very sensitive now. I don’t want her to know anything; she’s still small. There are things she doesn’t need to handle, just like the past. When she’s older, more understanding, and mature; you can leave when you want to. I won’t chase after you.”
Xia Ruoxin held the letter tightly. She could not deny that everything was not a reason for her to stay except one: her Rainy. Yes, that child was now more sensitive than ever. When she knew that Chu Lui was not coming over, she did not like to talk anymore. Indeed, if she did not even go to the studio, the child would definitely overthink.
She kept her letter, went back to her office, took her bag, and left for the studio. The studio was far from the man so she wanted to go there.
Just that sometimes, she knew that distance was not something that could let her get rid of him.
…
“Mommy, Rainy wants to sleep with Uncle.” At night, Rainy held Xia Ruoxin’s hand and said with her eyes wide open.
“Mommy, can Rainy sleep with Uncle?”
“Uncle went on a business trip.” Xia Ruoxin ruffled her daughter’s hair. “So just go to bed.”
Rainy blinked and turned around with one hand, clutching the blanket. Xia Ruoxin thought she slept, but she did not. The girl was hiding under the blanket, crying secretly.
Xia Ruoxin turned around and was prepared to ignore the child as she had to get used to it.
Just that, after a while, when she turned over again; the kid’s shoulders were still shaking.
Was she still crying?
She resigned to her fate and stood up, feeling a pain in her forehead.
She held her daughter with one hand and pressed the doorbell on the other.
The door opened, and the man was really there. She had lied to her daughter not long ago, and she did not know how to explain it to her anymore. She passed the child in her hand to Chu Lui, turned around, and entered her own house.
Actually, she had a feeling of being abandoned.
First by Chu Lui, then, Gao Yi… and lastly, Rainy.
