Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1741: Chapter 1318: You Want to Say It Wasn’t Intentional, Right?

"..."

Ming Han looked over at Min Rui, clearly unhappy.

"Second brother, you go ahead. Big brother and I will wait for you to come over."

Ming Wei spoke up for Min Rui, she definitely didn’t want to hear their birth mother rambling nonsense.

"..."

With lips pressed tight, Ming Han stood still for a moment, then stepped toward the spot Feng Lu pointed out.

Feng Lu followed behind him.

"Go on, speak."

The two of them stood face-to-face, Ming Han and Feng Lu locking eyes, his face void of expression.

"Are you really so reluctant to see your mom?"

Feng Lu frowned: "I may not have raised you, but you’re mine by birth, that’s an indisputable fact. And today I came to see you, to bring you something. Can’t you be a little happier?"

"I don’t need anything from you, and seeing you doesn’t make me happy."

Ming Han said bluntly, "Weren’t you threatening me just now? Isn’t that right, Lady Feng!"

"You’re calling me Lady Feng?"

Hurt flooded Feng Lu’s eyes: "I’m your mom, your biological mother!"

"So what?"

Ming Han’s expression stayed indifferent: "Aside from giving birth to me, what else have you given me? A disgraceful lineage?"

Ming Han was testing Feng Lu.

Ever since his and Ming Wei’s origins became unclear, he’d suspected he wasn’t Dad’s child. In fact, just the way he resembled Han Qian’s father explained that he shared some connection with that man.

Not to mention his birth mother’s current husband was Han Qian’s father.

In short, there was an eighty percent chance he and Han Qian were half-siblings. Still, he’d never acknowledge some biological father or half-sister.

Now, since he had a chance to confirm his suspicion, he wouldn’t let it slip.

But even after it was confirmed, nothing would change for him!

"Luo Minghan, what do you mean by ’a disgraceful lineage’?"

Feng Lu started to act, her eyes reddening: "Your biological dad and I just— couldn’t help ourselves. Honestly, if there’s fault, it was your adoptive father’s. If he hadn’t been obsessed with work, barely ever home, would I have met your biological father?"

His origins confirmed, Ming Han felt some pain, but reminded himself over and over, hadn’t he mentally prepared for this?

Besides, his mom and dad treated him so well; he had no adoptive parents, just one set of parents—one named Luo Yanqing, one named Kang Li, and he was Luo Minghan. So, Luo Minghan, why should you feel hurt?

Stop being sentimental!

You have such wonderful parents, your classmates are jealous of you!

After comforting himself for a bit, Ming Han suppressed his emotions, eyes calm, speaking steadily: "Lady Feng, I feel ashamed to have a birth mother like you. But my brother, sister, and I are all yours by birth, so rest assured, when you’re old and immobile, we’ll support you as the law requires."

Feng Lu was dumbstruck at Ming Han’s "I feel ashamed to have a mother like you." After a long moment, she said, "How can you say that about me? I am your own mother!"

Ming Han: "Lady Feng, blood ties mean nothing. At least to my brother, sister, and me—whether you, or the so-called biological father you mention, you’re just our biological parents. We have no other relationship. Can I leave now?"

Feng Lu: "Luo Minghan, you’re being utterly unfilial!"

Rolling his eyes, Ming Han said, "How am I unfilial? Lady Feng, wherever you go, just tell people how you gave birth to us siblings, then abandoned us. See what people think of you. You can also tell them about our attitude towards you, see if anyone agrees with you, thinks my brother, sister, and I are unfilial!"

"..."

Feng Lu stared at Ming Han for a while, remembering her goal, and breathed deeply, suppressing her temper: "Fine, you’re still young. I won’t bother about your disrespect."

She took out a property deed, a check, and the house keys, handing them to Ming Han: "This property deed and check are a gift from Mom to you. Keep them safe."

"I don’t want them."

Ming Han answered resolutely: "I have a home. I’m not lacking a place to live. My parents can afford me; I don’t need your money."

"Luo Minghan, this is a gift—something Mom is giving you. Whether you need it or not, you can keep it as your personal asset."

Feng Lu tried to persuade Ming Han: "Your adoptive parents have their own children—three, in fact. Later, when you get married, do you think they’ll buy you a house, give you money?"

"Lady Feng, don’t you think your thinking is a bit small?"

Ming Han didn’t even glance at the property deed or check in Feng Lu’s hand. He said: "My parents raised me and sent me through college. That’s already fulfilling their duty as parents. From here on, when I start my own family, it’s up to my own abilities. If I’m incapable, then I’d rather stay single forever than burden my parents!"

"Are you worried your adoptive mother will be mad?"

Feng Lu seemed not to get Ming Han’s real meaning, interpreting it her own way: "You don’t have to worry about that. Before coming to see you, I visited your adoptive mother at Shuimu University. She said no matter what gift I give you, as long as you want it, she won’t object. Also, I asked for permission to see you siblings once a week; your adoptive mother said it’s entirely up to you. Now, can’t you accept Mom’s gift?"

"Lady Feng, please stop referring to ’adoptive mother’ and ’adoptive father’. My brother, sister, and I will only ever have one set of parents. Also, let me make this absolutely clear: I don’t want your gift. And I don’t want you to appear in front of me again. I’m pretty sure my brother and sister feel the same way. If you don’t believe me, I’ll call them over for you to ask."

Obviously, Ming Han’s eyes now carried a trace of anger.

His mom was now a doctoral supervisor, so she didn’t have to teach or guide as many students as before, but she was still busy with other things, and needed to take care of his younger siblings. She had no spare time to listen to an outsider complain and stir trouble. Yet this person in front of him had nothing better to do, came to his mom just to make trouble, ruining her mood—he genuinely found it hateful!

Feng Lu: "Why can’t you just listen? Luo Yanqing and his wife are your adoptive parents. True, you call them Mom and Dad, but I and your biological father are your real parents. Now Mom’s giving you a gift, why won’t you take it? Forget the house, do you know how much is on this check? Luo Minghan, it’s Fifty thousand yuan, not fifty cents or five yuan!"

Ming Han, impatient: "I said I don’t need it!"

"Do you realize? If you don’t take the money and house, they’ll end up in Han Qian’s hands. Do you really want to see what was rightfully yours all go to her?"
