Chapter 586 Oh, so This is Biological

Whatever happened just now might have really frightened her. Xia Ruoxin hugged Rainy, and Rainy’s hands clutched onto her mother’s clothes tightly. She whispered, “Mommy, Rainy is a bit scared.” She buried her face in her mother’s chest. She had never heard such a loud, fierce voice. It was as loud as the sound fireworks make during New Year, and she was most afraid of fireworks.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s okay. Look, Mommy is here.” Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter’s back. She was really upset. Rainy was loved by everyone anywhere, and this was the first time someone disliked her, hated her in fact. This hurt her heart as a mother. It was okay if she suffered, but could they not hurt her daughter?

“Sorry, Ruoxin, I should have told you earlier,” said Gao Yi as he placed his hands on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders, his face filled with his remorse. This was only the first day, and he had already let her suffer this type of unfair treatment. He had really let her down.

“It’s okay.” Xia Ruoxin shook her head. “It’s okay, you’ve suffered worse than me. Besides, you didn’t expect this to happen anyway.” She sort of understood what kind of environment Gao Yi was brought up in already. With a strict father, a weak mother, and a young brother; he definitely had gone through much pain, which was why he had rather spent three years outside of home. His stress was much bigger than what she had imagined

She also knew that he did not want her or Rainy to suffer any type of indignation. He did not do it on purpose.

Gao Yi covered Rainy with the blanket and then placed her dolly in Rainy’s arms. Once Rainy had Dolly, she felt much safer immediately. Her long eyelashes moved up and down as she slowly closed her eyes. As long as she had Dolly and her mother, everything would be alright.

“Ruoxin, listen to me.” Gao Yi pressed his lips together, and his face darkened and showed an unspeakable severity. “Without my mother or Gao Xin, I would have never returned to this home.

“Only my mother and my brother are my family here. As for the middle-aged man you saw, he isn’t my biological father. His last name was Bai; Bai is Luoyin’s last name, too. Do you sort of understand what’s going on now?”

He looked up, and his face and body tensed up. “Actually, Gao Xin and I, our background is similar to yours.” When he said this, his voice was filled with sarcasm. “Back then, it was that man who chased my mother, and finally, he managed to touch her and convince her so my mother brought Gao Xin and me to the Bai family.

“She really loved the man, and she put in her all for him: her love, her youth, and half her lifetime. At first, the man was actually quite nice to us three, and he had even treated my brother and me as his own. Until he brought another child back.”

Gao Yi took a deep breath and stopped, but he did not realize that someone’s clothing flashed past outside the window.

“That child was Bai Luoyin?” Xia Ruoxin already guessed it, didn’t she?

“Yes.” Gao Yi laughed sarcastically, “It was Bai Luoyin, Bai Zhenfeng’s biological daughter. I heard he had her with his first love, and for some reason that no one knew, they separated. However, the woman died from an illness and only left this child behind. Compared to my mother, he loved the other woman more. According to other people, my mother looked like that woman, which was no wonder why he was willing to marry a woman who was divorced and with two children. She loved that woman. Of course, he loved the child birthed by her even more. Not to mention that she was his biological daughter.”

“Your mother accepted that?” Xia Ruoxin was also a woman, and putting herself in her shoes, she could almost imagine what Wei Lan went through. She must have been upset, unable to tolerate, angry, and even devastated. No woman would undergo all of these.

“Yes, she did.” Gao Yi shut his eyes. “She could not... not accept because Gao Xin was still small back then, and she had no means of leaving that man. She treated Bai Luoyin like her own, but she did not treat Gao Xin badly even more.

“Why would I leave the house? Well, that’s because Bai Zhenfeng wanted me to marry Bai Luoyin. Or perhaps you could say that it was his intention all along. All the effort he put into bringing me up all this while was not because he loved me, but it was to develop a passable husband for his daughter.

“I did not agree. I was studying business as my major in university, with medicine as my minor. I had also started to give up on business and turned to the medical profession instead so from then on, I had rejected everything of the Bai family’s and also rejected marrying Bai Luoyin.

“I did not hate anyone. I just did not want my own life, my own destiny... to be in the shadow of someone else. Yes, I do owe the Bai family, but I do not want to use the rest of my life to repay this debt.”

As he finished talking, Xia Ruoxin placed her hand on his. Their similar predicament seemed to have brought their hearts closer. Perhaps it was because of this that led Xia Ruoxin to finally understand the troubles behind this man and the hidden bitterness behind his smile.

A muffled cry came from the door. Gao Yi stood up immediately and walked towards the outside while Xia Ruoxin carefully placed her daughter on the sofa and followed suit.

Outside the door, Wei Lan was leaning against the pillar and was crying with her mouth covered. Gao Xin’s eyes were also red as she comforted her from time to time, also burning uncomfortably. Sadness was written all over his youthful face.

“Mom!” Gao Yi yelled as he walked out. He did not expect it to be Wei Lan. Did they hear everything that Gao Yi said to Xia Ruoxin?

Wei Lan hurriedly wiped her face. She was already so old; how could she still cry in front of her son? How embarrassing.

She watched the woman that came out with Gao Yi. This was the wife that his son picked. How wonderful, she was really pretty, really gentle. Compared to Bai Luoyin, she was so much better. This time, she wanted to make her own decision. Since she had already lost her own happiness, she would make sure that his son would get his.

“You’re Ruoxin, right?” asked Wei Lan as she inched closer and held Xia Ruoxin’s hands, causing Xia Ruoxin to be shocked for nothing.

“Yes, I am, Auntie. I am Ruoxin, nice to meet you.” The Wei Lan in front of her was really gentle, and even though she might not be happy, but she was a good mother. They were both mothers; she understood her.

“Next time, don’t call me Auntie. You can just follow Xiao Yi and call me Mom,” said Wei Lan gently. This child’s eyes were really pretty, and so was her heart, she guessed.
