“Yes, I'm happy . ” Upon receiving consolation from Song Wan, Chu Xiang smiled through her tears . However, deep inside her heart, there was a starkly different train of thought .
She didn't like her younger sister . She really didn't .
She knew that she wasn't Granny's real granddaughter, and she also knew that she was adopted from a foster home . She wasn't Daddy's child, but that Meimei was . That's why she didn't like having a younger sister . She wanted things to be like before, when she was Granny's only granddaughter and Daddy's only daughter .
That younger sister that came from nowhere… she really hated her right now-absolutely hated her .
If only Meimei wouldn't come . If she really didn't come, how good would that be?
Song Wan finally managed to calm Chu Xiang down . However, she was still a little distracted . She looked at the entrance from time to time, afraid that her actual granddaughter would suddenly enter… afraid that she would miss that moment . It was only after she saw Chu Xiang fall asleep that she hastily went down the stairs . However, it was still quiet outside . Chu Jiang's eyes were glued to the entrance, practically about to stare a hole through the door .
Song Wan took a seat as well . She picked up the watch they had been staring at the entire day . “This watch isn't spoiled and not running, right?”
Chu Jiang checked the watch against the time and shook his head . The watch was working fine . It was only nine and a half, not ten .
“Sister Jiang, is the food ready?” Song Wan stood up and asked the nanny upstairs .
“Yes . It's all ready . Children's favorites, especially made by an outside chef . ” The nanny came out from one side of the house, hastily replying . She was busy cleaning . An entire house of toys… wasn't this practically emptying all the toys in the market?
It was only then that Song Wan managed to calm down . Together with an uneasy Chu Jiang, she waited for the arrival of her granddaughter .
Until the doorbell rang from outside…
“Coming, coming . ” Song Wan excitedly gripped Chu Jiang's wrist almost crying tears of happiness . “Our granddaughter is here . Finally, thank God . ” Song Wan felt like everything else didn't matter as long as her granddaughter was here .
Chu Jiang's wrists were almost squeezed into pieces of meat . He clenched his teeth from the pain . Yet, he was afraid to retract his hand . He knew that this was happening because his wife was emotional, and so was he .
“I'll go open the door . ” Song Wan frantically ran out of the house . She gently rubbed her face, afraid that she would scare her granddaughter if she didn't smile nicely . This was her granddaughter, her own blood and flesh .
“You're here!” She opened the door, beaming brightly . In the end, she only scared the person outside .
“Uhm, Missus, I'm sorry . ”
The man outside was shocked by Song Wan's sudden enthusiasm . He was just here to deliver her products .
“Your order has arrived . Could you please sign here?” The man warily handed over the product, letting Song Wan sign her name . Song Wan's eyes inevitably darkened . Sigh, she was happy over nothing .
She wrote her signature and received the product .
“What's wrong? Are they here yet??” Chu Jiang asked anxiously . She was out for so long . Could it be that they only came to say a few words and left right after? Was this old man not going to be able to see his granddaughter?
“They're not here yet . ” Song Wan placed the box in her arms onto the table . “Somebody was here to deliver this . I don't even know what it is . ”
Chu Jiang received the package and checked the address . It was indeed their house address . He weighed the box in his hand . It wasn't too heavy . Quickly, he asked the nanny for a paper cutter and opened the box . There was a beautiful doll inside the box .
Oh . He understood . “Ah Lui bought this . Seems like it was flown in . He told me about it some time ago . ”
Song Wan quite liked it, too . It sure looked pretty .
“Granny . ” Just then, Chu Xiang had woken up for some reason . She stood outside, bare-footed, calling out for Song Wan .
“Xiang Xiang, why are you awake? Come to Granny . ” Song Wan beckoned Chu Xiang over . Chu Xiang ran over and burrowed into Song Wan's embrace . Song Wan was somebody who really liked kids . Furthermore, it was Chu Xiang . Of course, she didn't push the girl away .
Chu Xiang eyed the doll in Chu Jiang's hands . She remembered seeing this doll in the department store before . She really wanted it, but the doll wasn't for sale . They said that it was pre-ordered by somebody . By the time she wanted to pester Granny for the doll, the doll had disappeared . That's why this was definitely a gift from Daddy . She knew that Daddy was an amazing person . As long as she wanted something, Daddy would definitely get it for her .
Yes . This doll was-without a doubt-hers .
“Grandpa, is that doll in your hand Xiang Xiang's doll?”
The doll in Chu Jiang's hand felt a little awkward . This wasn't supposed to be for her . His son put in so much effort to get it; there's no way it was for Chu Xiang . He understood this fact . It was probably for the granddaughter that he had yet to meet .
“Grandpa, can you give Xiang Xiang the doll?” Chu Xiang reached out her hands, wanting the doll desperately .
“Sorry, Xiang Xiang . This is for Meimei . Next time, Grandpa will buy another prettier doll for Xiang Xiang, okay?”
However, Chu Xiang knew since she was young that this was the doll she had to have . She looked down on the floor, tears falling from her eyes . Song Wan felt her heart ache .
“Why not we let her play with it for a while?”
Song Wan discussed with Chu Jiang . “Anyway, it's just for a little while . When our little granddaughter comes, we'll give it back to her, okay?”
Chu Jiang wasn't as naive as Song Wan . Once this doll was sent away, was there any means of getting it back? It's the same as throwing the doll away . However, Song Wan already reached out her hand to him . He had yet to agree, but Song Wan had already taken the doll from his hand and passed it to Chu Xiang . After Chu Xiang hugged the doll, she never let it go .
Chu Jiang helplessly sighed . He just hoped that he was overthinking everything
Once again, the doorbell rang . Song Wan abruptly stood up . The time then was about ten o'clock . Ten o'clock, ten o'clock . It must be her granddaughter .
She frantically pushed Chu Xiang aside to open the door . Chu Xiang sat on the couch, hugging the doll tightly . It was impossible to know what she was thinking about from her lowered eyes, the only indication was her two hands that were choking the doll .
She hated this new Meimei .
With a 'zhi' sound, the door opened . Gao Yi and Xia Ruoxin, together with a child that Xia Ruoxin was holding hands with, arrived .
