Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1345 - 1218:
Previously on Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All...
After weighing everything, Mother Han concluded that Feng Lu's cohabitation with Han Bin, without the formality of marriage, did not place her son in a disadvantageous position.
"Grandma, please don't believe that conniving woman; she's merely putting on an act. It's her sheer audacity that drives her to want her daughter living in my and Father's home... Grandma, have you lost affection for me? Sob sob..."
Han Qian snatched the phone from Feng Lu's grasp and continued her tirade, only to be met with criticism from Mother Han over the line. The young girl's spirit was instantly crushed, and she resumed her weeping:
"Father doesn't love me anymore, Grandma doesn't love me anymore, sob sob... I refuse to accept this, I simply cannot believe it. Mingwei and Minghan are Father's children just like I am. Minghan bears a striking resemblance to Father in his youth. They are attempting to usurp my place with Father, sob sob..."
The words spoken by Han Qian left both Feng Lu and Mother Han in a state of stunned disbelief.
However, it was evident that Feng Lu experienced a surge of delight following a brief moment of surprise. She was more than pleased that those particular words had been uttered, inwardly thrilled that Ming Han and Ming Wei had received acknowledgment from Mother Han.
Furthermore, having already borne Han Bin a son, Feng Lu was certain that Mother Han would eventually pressure Han Bin to formalize their marriage for Ming Han's sake.
As for the strategy to retrieve Ming Han from Luo Yanqing's custody and bring him back into the Han family fold, she chose not to dwell on such matters at that immediate moment.
The courtyard.
Min Rui returned to the residence, consumed the breakfast Cai Xiufen had prepared for him, and subsequently entered Ming Wei's bedroom.
"Brother..."
Ming Han was seated within Ming Wei's room. Upon noticing Min Rui's arrival, he softly called out to him, his gaze flickered towards Ming Wei's bed, and his lips moved slightly, though he remained silent for a considerable duration.
"Still confined to bed like that?"
Min Rui casually closed the door and directed his question to Ming Han.
"Yes," Ming Han affirmed with a nod. He then added, "Grandma and I came over and called out to her multiple times, but she refused to stir. She hasn't eaten breakfast, nor has she washed her face or brushed her teeth. It's as if she's in a deep slumber, lying motionless in bed."
Min Rui acknowledged this with a nod before shifting his gaze toward Ming Wei's bed. Observing the back of her head, he stated, "I paid her a visit. If you heed my words, do not choose to reside with her away from home."
Seating himself at the edge of the bed, Min Rui pressed his lips together, his voice devoid of any discernible emotion: "Should she ever profess her love for you, do not give it even a sliver of your belief...
Consider this: if she truly harbored affection for her children, how could she have abandoned you and your second brother moments after your birth... I made it a point to see her early this morning and directly inquired if she regretted forsaking us back then. Her response was that giving birth to us was not her decision; she was merely unable to terminate the pregnancies.
Vivi, can you comprehend this? She harbored the desire to abort us, but undergoing the necessary surgical procedure at the hospital required Father's consent, and Father would never abandon us. Consequently, that woman had no alternative but to bring us into the world.
Now, she seeks for you and your second brother to live with her. There must be an ulterior motive behind this proposition... I have no desire for you to later harbor regret. My hope is that you, much like your second brother, will decisively reject her advances...
Pushing aside the quilt, Ming Wei sat up: "Aren't you exceedingly bothersome? I've already made my intentions clear regarding moving in with our biological mother, yet you persist in droning on. Do you wish for me to harbor animosity and resentment towards you?"
Before Min Rui could utter a response, Ming Han forcefully struck the desk adjacent to him: "Luo Mingwei, do not take kindness for granted! Your elder brother is acting in your best interest; observe the disrespectful manner in which you address him!"
"This is precisely the attitude I shall adopt! Cease your observation if it displetes you!"
Her hands were clenched tightly beneath the covers, and Ming Wei, ignited by Ming Han's words, seemed like a volatile barrel of gunpowder. Her expression was one of extreme displeasure, and her gaze shifted from her second brother, Ming Han, to her elder brother, Min Rui:
"I have not forgotten a single word you uttered last night. Since you no longer acknowledge me as your sister, desist from feigning brotherly affection in my presence! Furthermore, take this to heart: from this moment forward, concern yourself with your own affairs and remain entirely out of mine!"
"Elder Brother! I believe Luo Mingwei has lost her senses, behaving like a rabid dog snapping at anyone within reach. Let us disregard her and allow her to pursue whatever course she deems fit."
Ming Han's face was etched with sternness as he stood up and guided Min Rui out of the room: "Let us depart, lest we become targets of her unbridled rage!"
"We are her brothers."
Min Rui's tone conveyed a profound sense of helplessness: "Father is occupied with his work, and Mother will be returning shortly. If they discover Vivi is acting out, what will be their impression?"
"Luo Mingwei is acting thusly of her own volition; what recourse do we truly have? As for the potential reaction of Father and Mother, we are present. At worst, we can endeavor to persuade them to disown Luo Mingwei as their daughter."
While uttering these words, Ming Han subtly observed Ming Wei, anticipating a flicker of emotion on her face. To his astonishment, Ming Wei lowered her head, revealing nothing.
