Ming Wei looked up at Han Bin, posing a question: "Uncle Han, do you have anything else to say to me?" Han Bin offered a shake of his head in response. Seeing this, Ming Wei declared, "Then I’m going back to my room." She had clothes to organize and no desire to continue exchanging words here.
"Luo Mingwei, stop right there!"
Upon entering the door and seeing Ming Wei heading for the staircase, Han Qian angrily shouted to halt her.
"Something up?"
Ming Wei turned her head. Her gaze bypassed Han Bin and then Feng Wei and Feng Lu, settling lightly on Han Qian. "Go ahead, I’m listening," she stated.
"Did you just imply that I like to stir things up on purpose?" Han Qian's eyes widened.
"Did I say anything wrong?" Ming Wei's expression remained impassive. "Wasn’t it you who stopped me before and spoke sarcastically to me? And was it not you who initiated the attack, forcing me to kick you in self-defense?"
"So what if it was? Would these things have happened if you weren’t living in my house?" Han Qian challenged, directing her gaze toward Han Bin. "Dad, make Luo Mingwei leave our home; I don’t like her living with me."
Han Bin pressed his lips together, falling into a moment of silence. He then looked at Feng Lu, only to see her avoiding his gaze. This made his heart feel bitter, as he found himself caught between his daughter and the woman beside him in bed, unable to show favoritism to either side.
Moreover, his soon-to-be brother-in-law was standing nearby, watching him intently. If he dared to disregard Feng Lu’s wishes and send that girl named "Luo Mingwei" away, Feng Lu would inevitably weep, followed swiftly by his soon-to-be brother-in-law's fists.
With this thought in mind, Han Bin returned his gaze to his daughter. "Qianqian... Dad has talked to you; you’re not a little girl anymore, and you should understand. Also, Dad told you beforehand that your Aunt Feng’s daughter would live with us. Dad thought you’d get over your small tantrum because, in Dad’s heart, you are the most understanding and caring. Now you continue to quarrel with Dad; do you know Dad will find it very difficult?"
Han Qian snorted, offering no response.
At this moment, Ming Wei inquired of Feng Lu, "Mom, should I just leave?"
"Why should you leave?" Feng Lu, angered by Han Bin’s words, grasped Ming Wei’s hand. "You’re not allowed to go anywhere. This is your home."
Her tone grew distinctly emotional as Feng Lu looked at Han Bin with grievance and resentment. "Have you forgotten something? Vivi isn’t just my daughter; she..."
"Alright, Lu Lu, I didn’t say the girl can’t stay in the house," Han Bin interrupted Feng Lu somewhat impatiently.
Though he believed Feng Lu wouldn’t lie to him—especially since both his daughter and sister had informed him that the child named Luo Minghan bore a striking resemblance to him in his youth—the circumstances back then were undeniably disgraceful. If this matter were discovered by his soon-to-be brother-in-law now, or if it became widely known, would he retain any semblance of dignity?
Destroying other families, becoming involved with married women—these days, such actions might not result in being sent to a farm for behavioral reformation due to lifestyle issues, but they would certainly be detrimental to his reputation.
In a deeper sense, it might cast a negative impression on his business partners, potentially jeopardizing his financial backing.
Han Bin, a shrewd businessman, had consistently maintained a positive public image. He would not permit blemishes in his private life to become stumbling blocks in his career.
Consequently, even while admitting in his heart that Ming Han and Ming Wei were likely his own flesh and blood, he could not publicly acknowledge their origins.
In other words, publicly, he currently possessed only one daughter: Han Qian. Should he ever have other children with Feng Lu in the future, that would be an entirely different matter.
As for Ming Han and Ming Wei, whatever their background might have been before, it remained unchanged and would continue to be so in the future.
However, Han Bin had overlooked one crucial individual: Feng Lu, who harbored her own set of plans. Would she permit Han Bin to act entirely as he pleased? Furthermore, considering Han Qian’s palpable dissatisfaction towards Ming Wei, could anyone truly believe these tense days would pass without incident?
Based on this, Han Bin’s current contemplations were, in the end, merely his own fervent wishes!
"I don’t want to deal with you right now."
Feng Lu guided Ming Wei towards the staircase, leaving Han Bin facing her retreating back.
"Dad, I hate you!" Han Qian stomped her feet, her eyes welling up with tears, and rushed inside. Upon reaching the staircase, she deliberately bumped into Ming Wei with considerable force. Under Ming Wei's "bewildered" and Feng Lu's "discontented" gazes, Han Qian roughly ascended to the second floor.
