Chapter 140: She Needed Money
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She was ntally rejecting this daughter. However emotionally, their mother-daughter bond could not be broken. It was just that she was too upset. Too angry.
She had wanted to go after her, but she realized there was no one in sight.
It continued to rain for the whole day. Xia Ruoxin hid in an abandoned warehouse. She had been spending her nights there recently without any money or clothes. She was penniless.
She hugged herself tightly, cowering in a corner. The pain in her left arm was unbearable so she placed her right hand over it.
The occasional wind brought so rain into the warehouse. At tis, one could hear the gut-wrenching cries of a woman.
The sa rain and wind brought her cold—despair. However, it was not the case for so.
In the premium hospital ward...
There was a faint sll from the flowers placed in a vase. It was a fresh bouquet of Oriental Lily.
Li Manni leaned into Chu Lui’s chest as he held her carefully, worried about hurting her.
“Lui, are you serious? No one will say I’m a third party or howrecker?” She looked up at him emotionally. He was really nice to her. She might have been a bit cruel towards Xia Ruoxin, but for the sake of their happiness, she could see no other way.
“Yes. I will hold a grand ceremony when you marry . Nothing less than what you deserve.” Chu Lui bowed as he coaxed the woman in his arms. As his lips moved, the look in his eyes beca unusually gloomy.
It seed like for the past few days, he had been very unhappy. He felt as though he was carrying out so routine responsibilities similar to holding etings—a eting that was well-organized with clear agenda.
Even when eting with Li Manni, he could barely get himself to behave more lively.
“Lui, thank you.” Li Manni turned around, hugged him with her arms circling his neck, and offered him her scarlet lips. Chu Lui’s eyes narrowed, naturally accepting the kiss which she seldom initiated.
This woman was shy. To him, she resembled less and less like Xia Yixuan; more like another woman.
“Lui, I love you very much.” Her declaration of love was lost in the midst of their shared kiss. Chu Lui’s body went into a sudden shock; it was an indescribable feeling. Was it love? Love. It was a heavy feeling which he could not understand. Was he really in love with her?
It should be love, or else why would he want to marry her. If it wasn’t love, why would he do so many things for her and be here with her now?
So, he loved her.
Yes, he must be.
The cold night rain was blocked by the window; in the ward, it was warm as spring.
After raining for the whole night with gusting wind, people went to work with their necks tucked. One would have thought that winter has co.
In the small warehouse...
An extrely pale woman walked out from within at the sa ti. Her arm hurt at the slightest touch as she caressed it gently. She bit on her greenish lips and looked out front. The rain had stopped. She knew she had to survive which ans... she must look for a job to earn money.
What could she do?
She went around like a beggar, searching. The crisp wind blew onto her overly thin clothing. She hugged herself tight because it was the only way that seed to keep her warm.
