“I would like to ask, Mr. Chu; have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a father? Have you ever raised her? Have you ever fed her? Have you ever cared about her? What right do you have to try to snatch my daughter away now?”
Chu Lui never spoke a word. It was only his lawyer representing him. “That was because the plaintiff had no knowledge of his daughter’s existence…”
“That’s enough. You shut your mouth. All of you don’t understand anything. You don’t understand anything. You have no right!” Xia Ruoxin sneered. Her every word bluntly filled with ridicule, filled with blame; and it was all directed to that lawyer. The lawyer’s expression darkened.
“Your honor…” The lawyer was just about to say something. However, Xia Ruoxin’s voice submerged his voice once again.
“Chu Lui, let me ask you. If back then, you knew about Rainy’s existence, what would you have done?”
Chu Lui pressed his thin lips together, his black eyes void of any light. If he knew about her back then, he knew… what he would have done, he would…
“You would have aborted her, wouldn’t you? Because you didn’t want anybody to get in the way of your marriage with Li Manni, regardless of whether that child was yours. It was because she was mine.
“You hated me; that’s why you would hate my child as well. That’s what you personally said to me before. CEO Chu, don’t deny the words that you’ve said before.
“You claimed that he would be able to take care of my daughter. May I ask you, how could a man who acted out a show to pretend to catch his wife in bed with another man-a man who sent a group of other men to insult his wife… how could a man so coldhearted and nasty to the core have any right to take care of my daughter?”
The people in the gallery all went silent. They didn’t know who to believe now. If the truth to the things that happened four years ago was as so, then Chu Lui had done an unforgivable thing. How could a man be so cruel to a woman, especially when she was his wife? Doing that, he didn’t only ruin a marriage; he also ruined a woman’s life. Was he really that ruthless?
Chu Jiang and Song Wan’s eyes met. Both of them saw a deep sense of embarrassment and disgrace in each other’s eyes. The things that happened four years ago, they could both guess what they were; and Xia Ruoxin was only speaking the truth.
“Mr. Chu, do you deny these claims. Do you deny that you have done those things? Are you going to deny them?”
Xia Ruoxin asked Chu Lui. If at that moment, he still didn’t want to admit to everything, then she would look down on him.
“Yes. I did.” Chu Lui’s indifferent voice sounded in the courtroom. He admitted to it; he admitted to everything. His words stunned the audience once again. The criticisms they had for Xia Ruoxin had now turned to pity. Four years ago, a woman’s reputation was completely ruined. Today, the truth came to light. It was just that those past four years, who could compensate her for those four years?
“Chu Lui. Do you know when Rainy’s birthday is?” Xia Ruoxin wasn’t happy. She originally wasn’t even supposed to be doing these things. She didn’t owe him anything so what reason did he have to be hating her?

Speaking of ‘hate’, the one who should be hating people should be her.
Chu Lui pressed his lips tightly together; his daughter’s birthday? He didn’t know. He reckoned that in this world, other than Xia Ruoxin, out of all these people who suddenly appeared by her side, not a single one of them would know.
Song Wan gazed questioningly at Chu Jiang, whereas Chu Jiang simply shook his head in return. They had yet to ask Rainy for her birth date.
“Rainy’s birthday is on the 25th of March. Mr. Chu, this day, I believe that you won’t ever forget it.”
Chu Lui’s facial expression changed. March 25th, that was the day he and Li Manni got married. How could he ever forget? Every year, Li Manni really placed a lot of emphasis on celebrating their anniversary. She would insist that they go to a cake shop and buy cakes to celebrate. Furthermore, every year he put a lot of effort into finding gifts for her.
Xia Ruoxin gently smiled. She wasn’t bitter; however, in the eyes of everybody else, her not-bitter smile only seemed more like a mockery towards everyone.
“That day, I remember it clearly. It was raining heavily, and while you and your wife were sharing your first night together, I gave birth to my daughter. I cut the umbilical cord myself because I was all alone. You had cut off all my financial means. I could only rely on washing clothes for people every day to survive. Those strangers saw how pitiful I was and decided to give me a job. You didn’t want to let me live, but others helped me survive with my baby. Regardless of whether it was raining or snowing, I washed clothes for a total of six months.
“Rainy was born, and she often got sick. I had to bring her with me to my job as a mover. They were all males there, and I was the only woman. I had to compete with these men for a living. But no matter how hard it was-as long as I lowered my head, I could see Rainy who was tied to me. That time, she was only a few months old. In order to cure her sickness, I had to be a mover in the day and continue washing clothes at night.
“While you gave your wife hundreds and thousands to buy accessories, I had to carry my sickly child, pacing back and forth in the hospital. I didn’t have money to let her continue receiving medical treatment. That’s why I could only sell my blood to gather enough money for her to get admitted into the hospital.
“While you guys were spending large amounts of money on a single meal, we were fighting through our pathetic lives. In order to save money-some days, we only ate a single bun. We didn’t even dare to boil water because we were afraid that we wouldn’t be able to afford the electricity bills.
“Who would have imagined-the almighty Chu Enterprise CEO’s daughter couldn’t even afford to drink milk growing up? She ate batter growing up because we couldn’t even afford milk powder.”
“When she was two, she had already learned how to help me collect clothes from all the houses. She learned how to wash clothes with me and how to earn money with me. While you were buying a single piece of clothing that caused up to thousands—even millions, I had to sell my blood again just to be able to buy my daughter a doll.”
Suddenly, Xia Ruoxin’s hands went cold. Large drops of tears fell from her eyes without reason, making everything seem blurred.
“Didn’t all of you talk about how I was a bar hostess? You said that I was lowly and shameless. I have no right to be standing here, breathing the same air as all of you, right? But do you know of our past?
“Because my daughter was sick and nobody was willing to help us, I went to look for them. I looked for them so many times. I begged him; I knelt on the floor and begged him. Did he help me? Did he ever save us?
“My child was very sick, and I needed a lot of money. Even if I had to sell all my blood away, it was never going to be enough. That’s why I could only sell myself. I did everything that I could just to save her, just to keep the tiny her alive.”
