Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 668: It was Over

She continued to search and continued to wait.

Just that, she did not know if it was her luck; but she could not find any job at all.

Every day, she counted the amount of money until she seemed a bit off.

She packed all her clothes. If she could not pay up, perhaps she could only let the bank take back the house. She was not even sure if the money she paid at first was enough to get the house back.

She felt as if she and her daughter had to move back into that small house again.

However, the problem now was that she had not even found a job.

“Mommy, are we moving house again?” Rainy sat on the cardboard boxes and sucked on her thumb.

“Yes, we are.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter. The house was bound to be returned, and it would be better if they left on their own rather than getting chased out by others. At first, she thought she could let her daughter stay in a big house, but who would have thought that she would suddenly lose her job? Her ten-year contract had no use at all, and she did not even know what went wrong on the other side. The website was gone, the person-in-charge disappeared, and even the number became unavailable.

Actually, she’d rather hear ‘A Sunny Day will Come’ had absconded than him meeting with trouble.

No matter what, the help he had given her, perhaps he did not even know it himself; but to her, if it was not for him giving her the job, perhaps she and Rainy would have become beggars overseas.

The first time they moved was not earth-shattering, and they did not tell everyone they saw so the second time was likewise when they moved back into their small flat.

Ruoxin was still looking for her job, but no matter how many companies she applied to, it all seemed to end up in nothing. She had even considered doing her past jobs, but even if it involved her using her strength, no one wanted to hire her.

Knock, knock. A knocking sound came from outside.

Rainy stood on top of the stool and helped her mother open the door. She tip-toed with all her might; with a click, the door opened.

“Uncle.” Rainy raised her head and called the person obediently.

Chu Lui bent down and picked the girl up.

“Where’s your mother?” he asked.

Rainy pointed towards the kitchen. “Mommy is cooking something for Rainy.”

At that moment, Xia Ruoxin came out of the kitchen; and she did not look too good. There were signs of tiredness beneath her eyes.

Something flashed in Chu Lui’s eyes, but he kept his gaze as fast as possible.

When Xia Ruoxin saw Chu Lui, she did not chase him away as she really did not have the energy to argue with him here. She wanted to leave all her time and energy for tomorrow as she would not know if there would be good news, and she did not know if she could find a job. Rainy needed to pay for her school fees, but she really did not know where to get that money from.

She placed her bowl and chopsticks down before taking out another bowl and placed it on the table.

Then, she sat down and ate.

Rainy could also feel that Xia Ruoxin was not in a good mood recently so she needed to behave and listen to her mother.

Chu Lui ate his food, but he had kind of lost his appetite.

This was clearly what he wanted, but at that time, the atmosphere was suffocating him. He could not breathe.

Just like that, they finished their meal in silence. Xia Ruoxin kept all the bowls and chopsticks and asked Rainy to put on her shoes. Even though that day was a weekend, but they still had to look for a job.

She entered the house again and changed before coming out. Chu Lui and Rainy were sitting opposite each other and just stared at each other for quite some time already.

“Rainy, come over.” Xia Ruoxin walked over and waved to her daughter. She pressed her lips together once she saw Chu Lui who was still in the living room. Had he not left? It was going to be eight; was he not afraid that he would be late? She wanted to say something, but after much consideration, she decided not to. That company was his anyway, he could go whenever he wanted; and he could even play truancy if he wished.

Rainy placed the toy in her hand down and walked to Xia Ruoxin’s side while Chu Lui was like a human pillar and stood really still. He smiled bitterly. Compared to the past, he had made an improvement.

Even if she ignored him, at the very least, he could come into the house officially.

Xia Ruoxin helped Rainy wear her shoes, but Rainy kicked her legs from time to time as she was obviously not used to people touching her foot. Chu Lui looked down at his big feet; actually, he was the same, too.

After helping Rainy wear her shoes, Xia Ruoxin held Rainy’s hand. This was still his place; if he wanted to stay, he could. Anyway, she did not have anything valuable that she could lose.

“Where are you going?” Chu Lui asked as he walked up hurriedly. Where was she bringing Rainy to? Was she going to leave again?

Xia Ruoxin held her daughter’s hands, and Rainy looked up at her mother and blinked her big eyes.

“Looking for a job.” Xia Ruoxin walked around him and continued moving forward. She was not him. Even without going to work, he had a big company to make money for him; but she still had to work and provide for her daughter.

“I can...” Once Chu Lui opened his mouth, he received a stare from Xia Ruoxin. “It’s okay. I want to look for a job myself. We are not related anymore.” She still had not forgotten that they were no longer related.

Their only relationship was that they had a common daughter. However, she wanted to raise her daughter with her own capabilities. She could do so in the past; she could do it now as well.

Chu Lui’s brows were knitted tightly together. He had never seen such a stubborn person like Xia Ruoxin. He finally understood her persistence in this matter and her even stubborn persistence in not forgiving him.

“Ruoxin, wait.” He held Xia Ruoxin back and stood in front of her to block her way. His huge body had blocked the entrance. “Ruoxin, if you want a job, I can help you look for one.” Xia Ruoxin looked at him and shook her head. She knew what she could do, but even in the big company of his, she had no place in it at all. This was no different from using him.

Perhaps some would say that she was silly for being so stubborn. However, she just did not want to be related to him in so many ways. She was more afraid that he would snatch her daughter away from her as she still did not know when he was lying or not. Perhaps she was still haunted by the past.

If she could distance herself, then she would do so to the best of her ability. Once they found a house, they would leave this place.

“Ruoxin, are you really going to do this? You want to take Rainy along with you to work? Can you bear to see her run everywhere with you? Can you bear to leave her alone?” Chu Lui continued on persistently. No matter what she said, he would not allow her to take Rainy to work.
