However, he extended his neck again to look at the little fella in Chu Lui's arms . This little fella seemed like she didn't ostracize Cousin anymore . Although she had yet to call him 'Daddy', this was still a good start, wasn't it?
After all, Cousin only had this daughter and this only daughter to call him 'Daddy' . Of course, other than Chu Xiang . That child, I'm afraid only Auntie likes her .
Right, this time he wasn't here to get scolded . He had serious business .
“That Mi Dongfeng has been sent to a mental hospital according to your wishes . In the future, it doesn't matter whether he's normal or not; he'll continue staying there forever . Even if he's not crazy-after staying there for a few years, he'll become crazy . ”
Regarding the way things turned out, Chu Lui wasn't too satisfied . He had originally planned to make Mi Dongfeng rot in jail for the rest of his life . However, he felt that that was being too lenient on him . That man could do anything he wanted to him, but the only thing that he couldn't and really shouldn't have done was to target Rainy . He-Chu Lui-only had that one daughter . He wasn't going to let the harm she went through be in vain .
“And, Li Manni…” Du Jingtang carefully observed Chu Lui's expression, and yet he realized that there was not a single change in his expression . It seemed like he was already utterly disappointed in that woman . However, none of them were going to forgive her . Not mentioning her medicating Chu Lui-last time, she almost caused Rainy to die . This time, she kidnapped Rainy again . She wasn't even willing to let off a three-year-old child . This woman, there was already no remedy for her soul .
“Yeah . What happened to her?” Chu Lui pulled the covers up to his daughter's chin, disregarding the continuous stinging in his leg . Right now, in his eyes, he only had Rainy; he didn't even have himself . His injuries in front of his daughter were not even worth a mention .
“Because not too long ago, she had a forced abortion and-on top of that-she received excessive emotional stimuli, it led to excessive bleeding in her womb . Right now…” Du Jingtang paused pensively for a moment before he continued speaking, “Her womb has been removed . In the future, she won't be able to give birth anymore . Therefore, Cousin, this can be considered as her retribution . For a woman, losing their womb can practically mean that they're no longer female . ”
“I understand . ” Chu Lui's expression remained composed; however, his lips that were pressed together further straightened into a line . Between Li Manni and him, it was never clear who had hurt who . But now, they were truly even . Nobody owed anybody anything . From now on, they were nothing more than strangers who would pass by each other on the streets; and their four years together had also gotten closure .
“Don't bother with the Li family anymore . Sometimes, being alive is tougher than dying . Let's just let her enjoy her remaining time on this earth, thinking back, this would definitely be an unforgettable happy end for her . ” A look of ruthlessness shimmered within his pupils .
“Alright, I understand . ” Du Jingtang noted it down . However, 'self-destruction'—this term… hearing it somehow made people's hair stand .
Du Jingtang reached out his hands towards Chu Lui . However, Chu Lui simply looked strangely at his hands, not understanding his intentions . Nevertheless, he instinctively hugged his daughter tightly in his arms .
“Cousin, pass the little cutie to me . ” Du Jingtang's hands reached out a little further . So far that it made Chu Lui want to chop his hands off .
“Cousin, her other father is here . We have to return her to the other father . ”
A sense of sorrow flashed across Chu Lui's black pupils . He lowered his head and looked at his sweet-smelling daughter, asleep in his arms . In the end, he had no choice but to clench his teeth and pass Rainy over to Du Jingtang .
“Cousin, I'll be leaving . In a moment, Auntie and Uncle will come over to see you . They've been watching over you for three days . They only returned home a while ago . Try your best to act like you're fine . ”
“Okay, I understand . You're so naggy . ” Chu Lui picked up a bowl at the side and began eating the rice inside . It was just that the rice was tasteless . Yet, he continued to eat, his black pupils slightly drooping, unable to look at Rainy who was in Du Jingtang's embrace again .
The door shut gently, and Chu Lui continued to endlessly consume food . He choked a bit and then continued eating again . Even when his stomach had started to hurt, he still refused to stop . He lowered his head and looked at his empty arms . Just a moment ago, he was clearly still hugging his daughter; but now, he could only endure the desolation of his surroundings, without any vigor .
Actually, he really couldn't bear to let go of his daughter . It was just that right now, Rainy was somebody else's and not his . He didn't know whether he was pitiable, but he did know that he was receiving deserved punishment .
Gao Yi received Rainy who was asleep over from Du Jingtang's arms . He carefully carried the child in his arms and thanked Du Jingtang .
“You don't have to thank me . In terms of kinship, I'm her uncle . ” It was just that blood relationship couldn't beat actual care and concern . He laughed embarrassedly . Actually, his heart ached for that cousin for his . That high and mighty, omnipotent man… since when did he become so battered and torn? Right now, he seemed practically soulless .
He lost his wife and lost his child . Even his one and only daughter was calling another man 'Daddy' . Although it could be said that it was retribution, he was still really pitiable . Perhaps that man was really too arrogant, too assertive, and too confident in his own abilities . But by the time he had realized it, there was already nobody to forgive him .
“I should still thank you . ” Gao Yi's voice was filled with courtesy, almost as if he was trying to distance himself from Du Jingtang . “I'll be going first . ” He steadied his grip on Rainy and nodded at Du Jingtang before heading towards his car . She was already out for very long; see, now she was so tired that she fell asleep .
“Daddy…” Rainy's tender voice resonated from within his embrace . Her small hand gripped tightly onto Gao Yi's shirt . “Daddy, Rainy still wants to eat . ” As she spoke, she pouted her lips, evidently still hungry .
Gao Yi's expression darkened . “Rainy, tell Daddy . This 'Daddy', who are you referring to?” Was kinship really, really impossible to change?
He used his hands to gently caress Rainy's small face, his lips pressing together a little tighter .
After returning to their house, Rainy was carried to her small bed to sleep; and before she slept enough, she was definitely not going to wake up .
Gao Yi placed down the chopsticks in his hand, and he looked sympathetically at the troubled Xia Ruoxin . It started ever since the day Rainy got kidnapped, and because she was too afraid, Rainy also hadn't been attending school recently .
“Ruoxin, don't worry about it . He's fine; he managed to retain his leg . ” Gao Yi picked up his chopsticks again . What was she being so absent-minded for? His heart was filled with displeasure . Although Xia Ruoxin didn't say anything, she was never a woman who could perfectly hide her thoughts and feelings .
