Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1353 - 1220:

Feng Lu's brow knitted with considerable worry for a moment.

Ming Wei's eyes held a flicker of confusion, querying, "What concerns you so deeply?"

"Your mother is anxious that Han Qian, that troublesome child, might spout nonsense at school," Feng Lu explained. Should Han Qian spew baseless remarks amongst her peers, public opinion would inevitably turn sour on Luo Mingwei and Luo Minghan. As Han Qian’s stepmother, Feng Lu's own reputation would surely be tarnished.

If not for her schooling, Feng Lu might have shrugged off concerns about her public image. However, she had pledged to Han Bin to be a good mother to Han Qian, which meant a punctual appearance for any school-related events.

The thought of it sent a wave of unease through Feng Lu.

She could already envision the slander Han Qian might unleash about Luo Mingwei once school commenced.

Visions like: "Luo Mingwei’s mom is a shameless hussy, living with my dad without a marriage certificate."

Or perhaps: "Luo Mingwei’s mom is a cruel stepmother who torments me when my father isn't home."

And even: "Luo Mingwei and Luo Minghan are illegitimate offspring, conceived while their mother was involved with my father."

…

The more Feng Lu's mind wandered down this path, the more constricted she felt. She turned to Ming Wei, asking, "What would you do if that brat Han Qian were to spread malicious rumors about your mother to your classmates at school?"

Ming Wei tilted her head, innocently inquiring, "What sort of terrible things would she say?"

"..."

Her lips parted, yet Feng Lu found herself unable to utter the words, unable to besmirch her own name by calling herself a woman of loose morals.

After a brief, heavy silence, Feng Lu opened the car door, commanding, "You may exit." Her plan was set: before retiring for the night, she would whisper into her husband's ear, urging Han Bin to deal with that troublesome brat, Han Qian, himself.

After all, as Han Bin himself had once mused, 'it takes two to tango.' If she bore some fault from that past liaison, could Han Bin truly be considered blameless?

If that brat Han Qian dared to bring up the circumstances of Luo Mingwei and Luo Minghan's birth at school, it would not merely damage her standing as a stepmother.

With this calculated stratagem in mind, Feng Lu couldn't help but exhale a silent breath of relief.

Stepping out of the car, she took Ming Wei's hand, and together they entered the living room. There, Han Qian was seated on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the entrance.

In the yard, Driver Master Wang navigated the vehicle through the gates, en route to Han Bin's company, prepared to serve his employer.

"Luo Mingwei, I never imagined you'd truly be the daughter of that wicked woman."

Han Qian sneered mockingly, "Now that you've found your birth mother, you intend to discard your stepmother, don't you? Just wait! Once school starts, I'll broadcast it to the entire class, revealing what a heartless wretch you are, abandoning such a wonderful stepmother. You'll stubbornly cling to your shameless maternal figure and reside in my home. Then, just anticipate being scorned by everyone!"

"Mother, is there a room available for me?" Ming Wei seemed to disregard Han Qian's tirade, calmly addressing Feng Lu. "I left without any spare clothes, shoes, or toiletries. Will you be taking me shopping for these necessities?"

Having resolved her course of action, Ming Wei refused to be suffocated by her circumstances. She desired her birth mother to witness firsthand how 'unfortunate' it was to have her as a daughter!

Hearing Ming Wei address her as 'Mom,' Feng Lu's smile widened, her eyes softening. She chuckled, "Your room is upstairs, directly opposite Qianqian's, complete with brand-new bedding. As for your attire, footwear, and accessories, Mother will contact your father immediately to arrange for someone to procure them from the mall."

"Thank you, Mother!"

Ming Wei's eyes sparkled, and her words flowed with sweet deference.

"There's no need for formalities with your Mother." Feng Lu beamed, utterly disregarding her stepdaughter, Han Qian. She walked towards the landline, lifted the receiver, and dialed Han Bin.

Moments later, the call connected. Hearing Han Bin's voice, Feng Lu spoke lightly, her tone laced with laughter. She conversed with Han Bin for approximately two to three minutes. Finally, she blew a kiss through the phone to Han Bin, cooing playfully, "So, you must return home early from work today. Your daughter and I eagerly await your arrival for dinner."

After receiving Han Bin's affirmative response, Feng Lu gently placed the receiver back on its cradle.

"Your father said..."

She was addressing Ming Wei, but before she could complete her sentence, Han Qian interjected sharply, "He is my father! My father's surname is Han. He does not have a daughter named Luo Mingwei!"

Feng Lu attempted to placate her, "Qianqian, your father and I are married..."

Han Qian cut Feng Lu off again, her voice dripping with contempt, "My father hasn't even legally registered you. You are merely a disreputable woman residing in our home, not my father's wife!"

After her sharp retort to Feng Lu, Han Qian redirected her venomous gaze towards Ming Wei. "I know your birth mother must have spun tales, claiming that you and Luo Minghan were born from her union with my father. But so what?"
