Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 768

Chapter 768: Hit People and Their Face

Everyone said hit people but not attack their pride and reveal their weakness, let alone her own nephew. Song Wan had actually said these harsh words out and had stabbed an invisible knife straight into Su Yunfei’s heart. Actually, she knew that Du Jingtang’s sexual orientation was different from others. However, everyone avoided this topic, and no one wanted to say it out loud.

However, Song Wan said it. She said it in such a rude manner in such a tone with such harshness, without a care for their family ties.

He was her own nephew, her biological nephew. How could she?

“Go! Go away!” Su Yunfei pointed towards the outside. “Get out now and never come to my house again. We don’t have you as a relative and this orphan from God-knows-where. Get out now!” She hugged Rainy and ran to her room. She slammed the door, and Song Wan was left stunned at the same spot.

What did she just say?

She raised her right hand, and there was actually numbness in her hand that would not go away.

She held Chu Xiang’s hand and had almost run out of the place. Lin Qing threw his pen down and lay on the table before drawing something on the table with his fingers. The noise was extremely painful to hear, but he seemed to enjoy it, line after line. Suddenly, he grinned.

“Guo’er, doesn’t this sound nice? If you were still here, you would like it, wouldn’t you? Just as much as Brother…”

In the room, Su Yunfei hugged Rainy and cried fiercely. Rainy stuck out her red hand and placed it on Su Yunfei’s face. “Granny, don’t cry. Help Rainy hoo-hoo, and it won’t hurt anymore.”

Su Yunfei could only cry sadly. That humiliation and pain struck right at her face really hurt.

When Du Jingtang and Du Bin heard about the incident, both of them were stunned.

“Dad, I…” Du Jingtang felt that his throat hurt. He could not speak up, and he was embarrassed.

Du Bin did not scold his son and only raised his hand to pat his shoulders.

“Your mom and I know about it. Actually, we were prepared for it… just that we didn’t expect your aunt to say it right in front of your mom’s face. Actually, your mom isn’t upset about you; she’s upset that she was slapped right in the face. You know your mom’s personality, and she has always been this tough. This time, it did hit her quite badly.”

“Sorry, Dad…” Du Jingtang lowered his face. Actually, he was the one humiliated.

“I’ll go look for your mom.” Du Bin sighed. He could not scold his son and could not blame him; he could only say that his son was born into the wrong gender. In the past, he felt that he was too young so he did not tell him about the rights and wrongs. However, the problem was worse than he thought, but after these years, he became more open-minded.

However, being open-minded, accepting, and to have the truth get exposed right in front of one’s face were extremely different concepts.

Du Jingtang looked at Du Bin and clenched his fists tightly.

It was the first time that he felt so useless.

Du Bin opened the door, and Su Yunfei was still hugging Rainy who had fallen asleep. Her eyes were blank and were staring at space.

“Yunfei…!” he yelled his wife’s name.

“Oh, you’re back.”

Su Yunfei recovered his senses slowly and smiled at him, but her smile was lethargic.

“Is she sleeping?” Du Bin walked over and sat beside her. It was obvious that the child in Su Yunfei’s arms was already asleep. It was hard to imagine that this small child would grow up to become a young lady, and they would not even be able to carry her.

“Come look at her.” Su Yunfei carefully pulled Rainy’s hand.

“Why is it so swollen?” Du Bin was taken aback. It was obvious that the child’s hand was swollen like a carrot. Was she not fine when he left?

Su Yunfei suddenly smiled, but that smile was filled with coldness.

“Your sister did it. I think, one day, she would be doomed by that Chu Xiang.”

Du Bin sighed. He did not know what poison Chu Xiang had given Song Wan; she could even hit such a small child. Could it really be because she had Chu Xiang so she did not care about anyone else and could hurt them, biological or not? It even included her own nephew.

“I finally understand now.” Su Yunfei leaned against her husband’s shoulders. “The reason why Ah Lui insisted on leaving Rainy in our care and why he did not want her to know; even if she did, we could not let her see Rainy.”

Du Bin carried the child from her arms and shook his head. If this carried on, even the relationship between the two families was doomed.

“Yunfei, Jingtang…”

“I know; you don’t have to say.” Su Yunfei raised her hand and held the dolly in Rainy’s arms. “Even though we’re not open-minded parents, I have been thinking. Human’s lives are so… so short.

“Who knows what’s going to happen tomorrow? Ruoxin is going to be missing for a year and Ah Lui had left for almost two months. Do you think we can know and predict what happens in the future? Let’s just let nature take its course.”

“Don’t worry.” Du Bin comforted his wife.

“Big Sister only said that casually. She should be regretting it now.”

Su Yunfei frowned. “One could be rude once, but the second time would be overboard.”

She just hoped that Chu Lui could bring Xia Ruoxin back; if not, what was Rainy going to do? Even though Song Wan’s words did hurt, she did say something correctly: Rainy was the Chu family’s child and not the Du family’s.

Even if Chu Lui did not come back in the future, Rainy would—one day—return to the Chu family.

With such a Granny there, this child would have a difficult life.

She pinched the dolly in her hands. The dolly had beautiful eyes, and although it was old, one could tell how beautiful it was at the beginning.

The dolly’s eyes opened without moving. In its darkness, there was a sky filled with stars; and everything started to blur.

Chu Lui raised his head and stared at the stars far away. There would be sea breeze blown towards his face from time to time. This was the first time in two months that they had been out of the cabin and the first time their two legs were standing on land.
