Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1378 - 1228: Are You Trying to Overwhelm Your Mom With Cuteness?

Teacher Yang offered a gentle smile, refraining from further words.

"Since you are occupied, I shall not prolong my stay."

Observing Feng Lu depart the office with a stern expression, Kang Li turned away from Teacher Yang and swiftly pursued her.

"Lady Feng!"

Halting Feng Lu, Kang Li stated, "Your conduct towards Vivi today was quite extreme. I sincerely hope you will find an opportunity to offer her an apology."

"Are you quite well?"

Feng Lu retorted with a sneer. "I am the one who gave birth to Luo Mingwei, and I shall handle her affairs as I see fit. Your intervention is entirely unnecessary."

"The child defended you, only to be caught in a dispute with your stepdaughter. Yet, you inexplicably place all blame upon your own child. Are you certain you truly are a mother?"

Kang Li's gaze, clear and penetrating, seemed to pierce Feng Lu's very soul as he calmly remarked, "It was you who suggested the child reside with you to foster a bond, yet your actions are driving her further away."

"I explicitly stated that your interference is not required!"

Feng Lu remained utterly resolute.

"Before Vivi departed the office with her class teacher, I distinctly observed her willingness to accompany us home. Then, you abruptly interjected, causing her to reconsider. Lady Feng, are you perhaps employing some form of coercion against the child?"

Noticing a subtle shift in Feng Lu's demeanor, Kang Li perceived a flicker of indecision in her eyes, confirming his suspicions. Nevertheless, Feng Lu merely scoffed, "And if I am? If you possess the audacity, then prevent Luo Mingwei from succumbing to my pressure!"

Approximately twenty meters ahead and to their left, Luo Yanqing observed Ming Wei in silence for a moment before speaking, "Luo Mingwei..."

Ming Wei, who had been looking down, instinctively lifted her head upon hearing Luo Yanqing's voice. Just then, he continued, "You are aware now, aren't you?"

"..."

Ming Wei stood utterly dumbfounded.

Witnessing her reaction, Luo Yanqing's expression remained unperturbed. "Regarding the origins of you and Luo Minghan, she revealed this information to you, and subsequently used it to compel you to live with her, is that not correct?"

Upon hearing his words, Ming Wei was utterly astounded.

Luo Yanqing recognized the significant impact of his inquiry, a wave of disdain washing over him as he contemplated Feng Lu's unsuitability as a mother. How could she expose her own transgressions to innocent children and leverage such secrets to manipulate them?

"She confided solely in you, but not in Luo Minghan?"

"...Mm-hmm."

"And the reason she holds you captive is that if you refuse to comply, she intends to make the origins of both you and Luo Minghan public knowledge? To be precise, she plans to disseminate this information widely?"

Luo Yanqing's dark eyes held no discernible emotion as he continued, "To prevent her from enacting such a plan, you disregarded the counsel of your grandparents and the pleas of Luo Mingrui and Luo Minghan, insisting instead on residing with her?"

Every hidden thought within Ming Wei's heart was articulated by Luo Yanqing. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she nodded, "Mm-hmm."

"Now, listen carefully. In my heart, both you and Luo Minghan will forever be my children. Even if that woman discloses your origins, it will not alter this fundamental truth. I am telling you this so that you may cease your worrying."

Luo Yanqing's gaze was exceptionally serious. "A person's words are their own, and they possess the freedom to speak as they please. As long as you do not dwell on their pronouncements, such unkind words lack the power to inflict harm upon you.

However, I do request that you refrain, for the time being, from disclosing the secret you hold to Luo Minghan, nor reveal it to your mother. This is to prevent Luo Minghan from experiencing the same distress you are currently enduring.

As for your mother, I shall address the matter with her at the appropriate juncture."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts.' Blood ties hold no particular significance for me; all I recognize is that from the moment you and Luo Minghan were born, you became my children. Your mother, on the other hand, consistently disregards such notions of blood relation. Her years of dedicated tutelage and maternal affection bestowed upon you both clearly demonstrate her unwavering stance."

"I... I have unintentionally hurt Mom's feelings."

"Your mother harbors no resentment towards you."

"Dad..."

"Yes?"

"Dad! Do you truly not care? She is so wicked, yet you remain unconcerned that my brother and I are your children?"

Lifting his hand to gently cup Ming Wei's head, Luo Yanqing's clear, resonant voice flowed with a soft melody. "Have I not already conveyed my sentiments with sufficient clarity?"

Ming Wei, amidst her sobs, shook her head. "Dad, I wish to remain your and Mom’s child. I do not want to leave our home, and I cannot bear to lose you and Mom!"
