Chapter 686: Not Going to the Chu Family Anymore
Forget it, let it stay. It was rare that Rainy liked something, and this small thing should not hurt anyone.
She made a small hut for the cat in the living room and bought a litter box for it. After Rainy had spoken enough to the cat, she then went to sleep filled with satisfaction.
When Xia Ruoxin woke up at night, she specifically went out to take a look at the cat. The cat had been sleeping the whole time and did not even move an inch, but it did use the litter box already.
She was still afraid this newborn cat would urinate everywhere. In the end, it did not happen as the cat was pretty obedient and loved cleanliness. Xia Ruoxin picked up the cat again and placed it on her palm. What a small cat; could it grow up? Did it stop drinking milk already?
She was currently giving the cat Rainy’s milk powder which it drank.
Rainy named this cat Meow Meow, which Xia Ruoxin thought was pretty apt. When she was too tired of squatting, she decided to just sit on the floor and continued to hold the cat in her hands. Gently, she prodded the cat; but it was too lazy and did not even open its eyes. If it was not because the cat was still warm, she would have thought the cat was dead.
After keeping it for a few days, she understood the cat’s character a little more. It was really lazy and would usually sleep after eating and eat after sleeping; sometimes, it would be too lazy to even make a sound.
“Mommy, Meow Meow is dead.” Rainy cried and ran over straight into Xia Ruoxin’s arms, wiping all her tears on her mother.
Dead? How could it be? Xia Ruoxin had just fed it in the morning. How could the small furball be dead?
“Mommy, Meow Meow is dead,” Rainy cried sadly.
Xia Ruoxin pulled her daughter’s hand and went to the cat’s sleeping area in the living room.
That cat had shriveled itself into a small ball. That way, Xia Ruoxin knew that the cat was not dead; it was just too lazy to get up.
She squatted down and picked up the cat in her palm before putting it in front of her daughter.
“Rainy, you can touch it. Your Meow Meow isn’t dead. It just fell asleep.” Yes, it was sleeping. Even if the cat were to die in the future, it would be because of its laziness.
Carefully, Rainy touched the cat’s forehead and kept her hand back as fast as she could before touching it again.
“Mommy, it’s warm.”
“Yes, it’s warm.” Xia Ruoxin gently caressed the cat in her arms. This cat was really too lazy. It could not eat or drink, but it definitely needed sleep.
“Rainy, do you want to carry it?” Xia Ruoxin placed the cat in front of her daughter.
“Okay.” Rainy placed her hand behind her back. “Mommy, can Rainy do it?”
“Yes, when Mommy is here.” The cat was too small, and so was Rainy. She was afraid the cat would scratch Rainy or that Rainy would accidentally kill the cat so she did not let Rainy touch the cat. She could only see, not touch.
Chu Lui came up with this furball and said it was for Rainy, but it should be given to her instead as she had to feed it, shower it, and remove its sh*t.
However, this cat was indeed quite cute as it grew to be a small ball. She started to like it.
She placed the cat in Rainy’s arms. Meticulously, Rainy carried the cat up; and she did not dare to move randomly. She placed the cat in front of her eyes, and her eyes sparkled with delight.
Meanwhile, that cat did not budge at all and was still shriveled up in a ball.
Now, Rainy knew that as long as the cat was warm, it would not be dead.
Xia Ruoxin took the cat from her daughter’s arms and placed it back in its hut, but the cat still did not move.
Then, she brought Rainy to wash her hands.
In a while, this child would be going to Chu Jiang’s house.
“Baby, you’re going to your Grandpa’s place later. You must behave, okay?”
Xia Ruoxin squatted down and told her daughter before caressing her forehead.
“Yes, I will.” Rainy nodded, but it seemed as though she was not too happy when Xia Ruoxin brought her Grandpa’s place up.
That was weird. She liked her Grandpa pretty much in the past; why was she unhappy now?
She held her daughter’s hand. “What’s wrong? Do you not like Grandpa?”
“I like him.” Rainy held onto her mother’s finger. She did say it, but she did not feel that she liked it that much or was enthusiastic about it.
“Tell Mommy, what’s wrong?” She pacified her daughter. Since young, the child was more considerate than others. Did something happen that she was not aware of?
Rainy pouted and hugged her mother’s neck.
Then, she said unhappily, “Mommy, Rainy did not take Xiao Jie Jie’s doll; and I did not push Xiao Jie Jie. Xiao Jie Jie shoved the doll to me. Also, Xiao Jie Jie’s Granny was so fierce to Rainy. Rainy doesn’t want to go to Grandpa’s anymore. Is that okay?”
Xia Ruoxin pressed her lips tightly against each other and carried her daughter with one hand. She knew her daughter’s temperament the best. She would never deny what she did, but no one could accuse her of what she did not do. It was no wonder Chu Lui had carried her back that day when it was already dark and raining outside. If it was in the past, Chu Jiang would never have allowed her to come home.
Was it Chu Xiang?
Xia Ruoxin experienced the same thing before. She understood too well what it meant to be scared, to fear, and to be worried… especially when a child this small could do such things.
Even though she did not do anything wrong back then, she knew it very clearly deep in her heart.
Do not underestimate a six-year-old child.
Sometimes, a child’s mind would be more meticulous and sensitive than an adult’s.
She whipped out her mobile phone and called Chu Lui.
At that time, Chu Lui was in the middle of a meeting. When his phone rang and he saw the caller ID, he immediately stood up and went somewhere where there was no one around.
“Ruoxin, what’s wrong?” His voice had less coldness and more warmth. However, it was shocking to others to see that Chu Lui could actually smile… and smile in such a foolish manner. Usually, he would not even smirk, let alone smile. In other people’s eyes, the smile on his face looked just like an idiot’s.
“Chu Lui. Rainy would not go to the Chu family anymore.” She was not afraid of offending the Chu family because she knew that the Chu family were not despicable people and would not harm her.
“I know.” Chu Lui did not ask further, but he understood what Xia Ruoxin meant. After he hung up, he called Chu Jiang.
“Dad, Rainy would not go back anymore.”
Chu Jiang was stunned. He had bought many toys for his granddaughter today, but suddenly, she was not coming.
“Why?” He did not understand. They never thought of snatching Rainy away, and Ruoxin’s personality was not this harsh.
