Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

She closed the door as noiselessly as possible. When she walked out, she conveniently picked up the phone on the table and walked to the balcony in case she spoke too loudly.

"Oh, okay, I understand. Everything has been arranged properly for tomorrow."

She listened carefully and noted some stuff down.

Until she put down her phone, she then realized a day was almost over. Even though her life now was not smooth-sailing, she was already satisfied.

As for the Chu family, she did not want to think much about it or get close to them.

The Chu family was indeed a place filled with troubles.

No matter if it was Chu Lui or Chu Xiang.

It seemed as if it was related to anyone named Chu, her day would go wrong.

She walked in, but she felt something at her leg. She looked down and saw the cat that had put on weight, hugging her leg.

"Meow…"

Owner, I am hungry.

Xia Ruoxin carried the fat cat, and it licked its claws lazily. However, it only opened its eyes for a few seconds before going back to sleep again.

Xia Ruoxin then put it back into its hut.

Then, she took out Rainy's milk powder and started preparing its food before putting some bread crumbs in for it to eat. It was still small now; when it got bigger, she could buy cat food for it.

She placed a small bowl in front of the cat. The cat then looked up and smelled using his nose before eating it nibble by nibble. Meanwhile, Xia Ruoxin sat on the floor and stared at the cat eat without even turning away.

She always said that Rainy had a very long attention span, but she was the same as well. She completely did not know that she actually sat still for quite some time, but whether she was looking at the cat or thinking about the cat, she was not sure herself.

…

A corner of the curtain outside was blown slightly by the wind. The wind that came by had a tinge of the spring scent.

It turned out a winter had passed again unknowingly.

Xia Ruoxin slowly combed her daughter's soft hair. The Rainy that used to have small baby hair had already become an angel with long hair.

She tied two braids for her daughter; the braids together with her defined features made her look extra beautiful.

Rainy blinked and suddenly remembered something. She hugged her savings bank, and inside, it was all her savings that she saved up dollar by dollar. Sometimes, Xia Ruoxin would give her a dollar; and she would not spend but would save it instead. She had saved all that money for a really long time.

"Do you want to bring this?" She asked her daughter. "You won't have it anymore."

Rainy was a bit reluctant, but she still nodded her head in the end and said confidently, "Mommy, Rainy wants to bring it."

"Let's go." Xia Ruoxin held her daughter's hand and brought her out.

No one knew what time Chu Lui came in from outside, but Xia Ruoxin ignored him and raised her hand to hail a cab. Then, she carried her daughter in.

Afterward, when the driver looked at the rear mirror, he started muttering to himself. "Why do I feel that someone is following me?" However, when he saw a car model of a famous brand, he felt that he was thinking too much.

That car was worth a few million dollars; the owner had no reason to follow this measly private-hire car. Perhaps they were just going the same way.

Thereafter, it was really the same way all along. When the car stopped, the car behind stopped as well. The driver looked at the car plate number behind again. Oh, this number… just the car plate alone was enough to kill many people.

Xia Ruoxin carried Rainy down and gave the money to the driver before pulling her daughter out. Chu Lui following behind also got off the car and placed his right hand in his pocket.

He had a feeling of failure, but he was already used to it.

If it was so easy to forgive, the past four years would have been wasted.

His sins would also be lightened.

This welfare home was the latest sponsorship of the Chu Enterprise. Other than abandoned orphans, the home also houses many ill children. This was not considered a big charity event so not many reporters were here, but there were a few charity organizations. As to whether it was real charity or not, no one knew; but if they were able to come here, this place would receive quite a fair bit of sponsorships in the future.

There would always be people in need of help in the world, and there would never be one person who had enough strength to help all those in need.

However, life would always need touching moments and gratitude. This was a human who owned different types of feelings and emotions.

Once she went in, she brought Rainy to see the children of the welfare home. There were children of all ages, and all had a pair of innocent and fearful eyes, unsure of their future. Perhaps they would be adopted by a kind family just like Chu Xiang, but how many Chu Xiang could there be in this world? There were very few children who could be that lucky.

Children were all innocent and would touch the gentlest side of an adult. Even the most cold-hearted ones would not be able to resist their naive face and innocent eyes.

Xia Ruoxin let go of Rainy's hands. Rainy looked at her mother and then bit her lip before breaking into a smile towards the children in front of her. Perhaps between children, no words were needed. Rainy stretched her hands into her bag and took out sweets to distribute to all the children around her.

"Your flowers look really pretty."

A girl was envious of Rainy's flower ornament.

Rainy touched her braids before biting her lips and extending her hand to remove the flower and put it on the girl's hair instead.

"Mommy gave it to Rainy; now, Rainy will give it to you."

The girl excitedly pulled one of the bigger boys.

"Brother, does this look nice?"

"It looks great." The boy looked at his sister's face. He really had not seen his sister smile so beautifully in a while as the girl held onto the boy's arm. Looking down, it was her leg.

She only had one leg.

Hence, the boy was her other leg; her support.

The boy said, "When you're older, Brother would earn enough money to buy you another leg." The girl was still thinking if she would grow another leg out just like in animations, but she could not.

She simply did not know that many things in the world could not just grow out.

"Brother, eat sweets."

Rainy extended her hand which had two pieces of sweets in it. She raised her head and smiled shyly.

"Thank you." The boy took the sweets from her hand, opened one for his sister, and placed it in her mouth before keeping the other one in his pocket. He did not eat it and was planning to save it for his sister later.
