Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 828: So, Auntie

Du Jingtang felt weak in his knees and was afraid that the two women would really fight so he could only follow her. If they really did, he was prepared to let himself be a sandbag.

Song Wan directly walked to Chu Lui’s office. It was okay if the person was not here; she would just sit and wait. She did not come to fight with her son, but she only wanted to hear his explanation. As long as it was not too overboard, she would not meddle with it. However, if it was, she had no choice but to interfere.

Ka! The door opened, and Song Wan walked in without hesitation. In the end, she raised her head and saw a woman standing in front of the full-length window. She was stunned there and felt a gust of cold wind. She touched her arm. Was the window not closed? Why was it so cold?

‘Who are you?” Song Wan lowered her voice and asked. Was that the beer girl? Did Ah Lui really bring her to the office?

“Aunt, isn’t that...?” Du Jingtang wanted to explain but was shut down by Song Wan.

“Whoever you are...” She made her voice cold and stood her stand.

“Get lost immediately. I’ll give you all the money you want, but you cannot date my son and spoil his reputation.”

Xia Ruoxin’s hand gently moved across the window in front of her, and weirdly, Song Wan felt that this hand was as if touching her body and was weirdly uncomfortable.

The hand touching the window suddenly used force and grabbed the curtain. Suddenly, Song Wan placed her hand on her chest unwittingly and felt as if this hand was grabbing her heart.

At that time, the woman turned around and just smiled in front of Song Wan.

“Long time no see, Auntie Song.”

Her voice was light and slow, even stopping in between every syllabus.

Song Wan’s neck was as if strangled by someone. Her lips kept moving, and her breath stopped as if she was going to suffocate.

“Why is it you?” Song Wan widened her eyes in disbelief, and the finger that was pointed at Xia Ruoxin started shaking.

“Why isn’t it me? Auntie Song, how. Are. You?”

Xia Ruoxin went forward, and Song Wan took a step back, like a mouse seeing a cat. Xia Ruoxin was the cat; obviously, Song Wan was the mouse.

The cold sweat on Song Wan’s forehead dropped. However, she did live for quite some time and did experience all kinds of things so she was not scared until she would pee her pants.

“Jingtang, go out first.”

Song Wan told Du Jingtang next to her.

Du Jingtang looked at this and then looked at that. In the end, he could only close the door and leave. Now, he could not care about anything else but to find Chu Lui. A mother and a lover; this in-law relationship had been difficult since ancient times. Right now... before she became the daughter-in-law, things were already difficult.

When the door closed behind her, Song Wan then clutched her bag tightly.

“You haven’t died?” She shrieked. She was scared and guilty.

“Auntie Song, I must thank you for your concern. I haven’t died yet.” Xia Ruoxin would not answer her question and walked to the full-length window. Sometimes, she was wondering what would happen if the window broke, and she fell from it. Then, it would really be the end of it all.

However, would she be indignant?

No, she would be indignant. How could she take this lying?

“Auntie Song, where’s my daughter?” Xia Ruoxin asked this question again. She had already asked this hundreds of times, but the eventual answer still dashed her hopes. She clearly knew her answer, but she still asked the same question. Where was her daughter? Where did her little Rainy go? Where on earth did she go? If she could not see her living body, she wanted to see her corpse... but she did not even leave a corpse for her.

Song Wan put her hands down weakly. This was the question she was the most unwilling to answer, to touch, and—most frustratingly—to deal with. For this, she had killed someone, even though the person was still alive. However, she was still frustrated and guilty... and could not say the right words.

“The child... the child... I lost the child.”

“Where did you lose her?” Xia Ruoxin felt her heart tighten. Even though she knew it clearly and no matter how many times she asked, she would only get the same answer. However, she still wanted to ask one more time and get her heart broken.

They hid her daughter and not let her see her, she could accept it. Even if they did not let her see her daughter for the rest of her life, she would resign to her fate. However, why did she say the same thing? She lost her? Lost her? How did she lose her? Where did she lose her? After she lost her, did she look for her? Did she care? Did she know after burying such a small body in the ground, one could not even find her corpse?

Song Wan shook her head and walked backward. She was in a mess.

“I don’t know. I really don’t know. I brought them out to play, but after leaving for a while, she went missing. I looked for a really long time and couldn’t find her. She’s missing.”

“Who are they?” Xia Ruoxin grabbed the curtain again, and with her strength, the entire curtain almost got torn down.

“Xiang Xiang and Rainy,” Song Wan answered bitterly. She was upset, and her heart ached; however, the guilt seemed to flood her mental health, causing her to not have a day of peace.

“Is it?” Xia Ruoxin smiled suddenly, but her smile came with tears. “Then, can you tell me? Why did you lose Rainy instead of Chu Xiang? If you really loved Chu Xiang to death, then why would you bring my daughter? You just wanted her to see how much you doted on Chu Xiang and let her know that only Chu Xiang was your granddaughter.

“She’s only four and is younger than your Xiang Xiang by two years. She’s very obedient, and when she went out, she would always hold onto the adult’s hand and not let go. Ever since she was young, I didn’t have to care about her as she would hold my clothes and walk. It’s been four years, but she hadn’t gone missing once. Why did she get lost the moment you took her out?”

“I...” Song Wan moved another step back and was speechless.

Xia Ruoxin let go of the curtain and walked towards Song Wan as if she was an angry ghost that was taking her revenge. She wanted Song Wan’s life and Song Wan’s... son’s life.

“Auntie, you lost my daughter.” She stared straight into Song Wan’s eyes, and her eyes reflected Song Wan’s trembling body and fearful brows. Was there a use to be scared? Would being scared bring her daughter back?

“So, Auntie.” She extended her hand, and the diamond ring on her ring finger got tangled with Song Wan’s hair.
