Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1341 - 1217:

"Dad!"

Han Qian's voice suddenly rose, instantly snapping Han Bin's focus back. He met his daughter's gaze, a slight furrow in his brow. "If you have something to say, state it properly. Why the need to shout?"

"I've been speaking to you properly, but were you even listening?" Han Qian pouted, her eyes wide. "In any case, you absolutely cannot marry that woman! Or I'll run to Grandpa and Grandma and complain about you!"

Hearing this, Han Bin slammed his chopsticks onto the dining table with a loud 'bang'. His expression turned cold as he retorted, "Is this how you speak to your father?"

Han Qian let out a defiant 'humph', showing no fear. She continued her tirade, "She's a bad woman. I saw her talking with Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei from my class at the school gate. I detest Luo Mingwei, and she's in cahoots with her, so naturally, I detest her too!"

"Luo Minghan, Luo Mingwei?"

Han Bin's expression shifted slightly. "Weren't they your classmates in elementary school?"

"I'm so frustrated! I've been in the same class as those siblings since kindergarten. Surprisingly, when we entered elementary school, it was the same school, same class. Now, we've moved on to junior high, and it's still the same school, same class. What does this even mean? Are they planning to be my classmates forever?"

Han Qian babbled on, her face a mask of impatience and disdain. It was a stark contrast to her demeanor when interacting with others.

To put it plainly, in front of outsiders, she presented herself as frail, kind, and innocent. However, within the family circle, surrounded by indulgence, she was undeniably spoiled.

Meanwhile, oblivious to the exchange between Han Bin and his daughter, Feng Lu, who had already exited the living room, did not proceed directly to the main door. Instead, she lingered near the living room entrance, discreetly eavesdropping on their conversation.

Her lips pressed into a thin line, her gaze fixated on the young man standing by the door. She recognized him instantly, even from the side of his face. It was her firstborn, the child she least favored, the one she outright detested.

Why had he come looking for her?

With her eyes half-lidded, Feng Lu drifted into thought, involuntarily recalling the circumstances that led to her forced departure overseas and her subsequent return without their knowledge.

Despite her protests, she was compelled to go abroad, with that Hu Yi assigned to monitor her like a prisoner. But her esteemed father and brother likely had no idea that shortly after her arrival overseas, Hu Yi had not only deceived her financially and emotionally but also resorted to frequent acts of violence.

To escape a potentially fatal encounter with Hu Yi, she seized an opportune moment, stole her important documents from his room, absconded with his money and possessions, and boarded a flight back home.

She had informed no one.

Even now, she had not contacted anyone from her family, nor had she sought out the man she had loved and pursued for years – Xiao Shen!

At the same time, she couldn't help but find her past self utterly laughable, deeming herself a complete fool.

Why had she stubbornly clung to a man for years who wouldn't even spare her a glance?

Could love be used as sustenance?

Did love offer any financial returns?

After her sojourn abroad, she came to a stark realization: money was paramount above all else.

With financial resources and a network of connections, accomplishing anything became remarkably simple.

The crucial point was that with money, one could lead an enviable life, wear what one pleased, eat what one desired – anything was attainable.

Consequently, upon encountering the man she now lived with after many years, she employed a subtle strategy to gain entry into his household, thus securing the life she had always yearned for.

However, there was one persistent source of dissatisfaction: the man had a daughter, a spoiled and irritating little girl.

This child's constant crying and tantrums prevented Feng Lu from officially becoming Madam Han, thus obstructing her path to becoming the rightful mistress of the household.

Since the girl refused to grant her a peaceful existence, Feng Lu resolved to ensure the girl would also have no peace.

Sensing a stare directed at him, Min Rui turned his head to identify the source. Recognizing the individual, he maintained a stern expression, refusing to avert his gaze.

Feng Lu approached, positioning herself just inside the doorway. She peered at Min Rui through the iron fence, her voice sharp. "You are Min Rui, aren't you? If you managed to find this place, it must have been Ming Han or Ming Wei who gave you the address. So, tell me now, why have you come looking for me?"

"After giving birth to us and then abandoning us, have you ever felt a shred of regret?"
