Love In The Midst Of Mistaken Identities Chapter 804 - Lies

Chapter 804: Lies

“Auntie, why stand on ceremony with me?” Xia Yixuan laughed and hit Song Wan’s arm. “You watched me grow up. Even though I have no mother—to be honest, you’re like my other mother. If it was not for me being too young and foolish, I would have already called you Mom.” As she said that, there was an expression of unbearable sadness on her face.

Song Wan wanted to say something, perhaps words of comfort; but Xia Yixuan interrupted her.

“Auntie, just stay here first. I’ll come back again tomorrow. Oh, yes, I’ll ask someone to deliver food over later. You guys should eat first. No matter what happened, it would be okay in the end. You should rest first before we talk about anything else.”

When Xia Yixuan was done talking, she nodded at Song Wan before playing with Chu Xiang for a while more and leaving. After closing the door and being outside alone, all the smiles on her face faded away.

She carried her bag, grinned, and walked towards the darkness of the night.

Chu Jiang had waited for a very long time and finally received Song Wan’s call.

“What on earth are you doing? Where’s the child?” Once the call connected, Chu Jiang looked for his granddaughter in a hurry. At first, Song Wan was feeling indignant; and after getting hollered by Chu Jiang, she was even more frustrated.

“I accidentally broke my phone. Also, I took the two kids out to play and would only return in a few days. My granddaughter loves me so much now. You all have taken too much of her time so you should just let me take care of my granddaughter for a few more days. Okay, that’s it; we’re still having fun. If there’s nothing else, don’t bother me. Don’t worry, when I return, I will definitely return you your granddaughter in one piece.”

She spat the words out like a machine gun and did not even give Chu Jiang any time to speak before she hung up. When Chu Jiang wanted to say something else, the other side had already hung up.

Chu Jiang held the phone like an idiot for half a day and had no idea what was wrong with Song Wan.

How could she just leave as and when she wanted? Even going to travel? She did not even bring any luggage; where could she travel? Also, where on earth did she go? Even if she was traveling, how could she not pick up her call?

“Oh, okay.” Chu Lui lay in the car and as he squinted, there was a sense of tiredness in his eyes. “Don’t worry, I’ll settle this. Also, don’t worry about my mother’s side. Even though she has two kids with her, she knows her limits and would not do unreasonable things. Besides, Mom has money with her and would not let herself suffer.”

He was comforting Chu Jiang and himself as well. Just that for some reason, there was still a suffocating feeling pressing against his chest.

He closed his eyes and placed his fingers on the steering wheel, knocking it lightly. After some time, he opened his eyes, placed his phone in front of him, and dialed a number that he had already memorized by heart.

“Ruoxin, I’m Chu Lui. I need to go overseas for business, and Rainy insisted that she wanted to follow me. She even secretly followed me to the airport. The child’s temper is really stubborn so I’ll bring her along with me for the next few days.

Xia Ruoxin did not say much on the other end, but Chu Lui felt very guilty due to the lies he said.

When he got the kid back, he would then apologize to her sincerely. He just did not want her to worry as, after all, Xia Ruoxin did not like Song Wan at all. If she found out that her mother took Rainy away, she would be very worried.

He drove back to the office and prepared to settle everything in the office first before really finding a business trip for him to go on. Nothing in the company could go past her as, after all, she was part of the company.

Overnight, he settled his important work and booked the earliest flight. Of course, no one knew when he left and only knew that he had to go on a business trip. When the secretary received this information, their CEO was already in midair.

Xia Ruoxin came over early in the morning and found out that Chu Lui was on a business trip, just like what he said on the phone. She had no suspicions whatsoever as she knew how her daughter’s temperament could be at times.

Also, it was better for her to go to other places as she wanted her daughter to see other sights and not just the kindergarten.

Hence, she really did not suspect at all. She completely did not know that Chu Lui was lying to her, and Song Wan was lying to them all.

At that time, in the quiet condominium, even though Song Wan’s person was there; her mind was not.

“Auntie, is there something wrong?”

Xia Yixuan tried to ask. Actually, she knew that Song Wan had some troubles; and it was not a small matter.

“Nothing much.” Song Wan recovered her senses and smiled at Xia Yixuan. Just that, beneath the smile was countless frustrations.

“Auntie, you can tell me. I’m no outsider.” Xia Yixuan brought the cup on the table over and on her lips. Her lips curved up slightly, and behind it was a whole lot of calculations.

“Maybe I can help? Even though I have been overseas for four years, I do have quite a lot of friends here. Even if my Xia household cannot compare with the Chu family, we are not some small name.”

Actually, she just wanted to know what was going on that made Song Wan not dare to go home.

Yes, she did not dare.

As for whether she could help or not, she needed to hear about the matter first.

Song Wan was a bit hesitant and did not know if she should say it, but actually, she was going to suffocate to death. She had been thinking about this lately and had not been sleeping well for the past few nights.

Unless she did not want her husband and her son, she could not hide here her whole life. Even if she did so, she did not know where else she could hide and how long she could hide for.

“Yixuan, Auntie won’t lie to you.” She closed her eyes, and when she opened it again, it was like running water as she spilled everything about her and Xia Ruoxin. However, she still did not dare say that the kidney in Chu Xiang’s body was taken from Rainy. Also, the biggest problem of them all was that Rainy was missing. She went missing right under her nose.

That meant she lost her.

Xia Yixuan was taken aback. It turned out that the child was lost. It was good that she was lost, and now, no one could stand in between her and Brother Lui. As long as Song Wan accepted her, then she would have a chance to enter the Chu family.

However, she could not say this and acted as if she was shocked to no end.
