Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1404 - 1234:

"Mm, Mom understands."

Kang Li enveloped her daughter in a hug and responded with a smile. Simultaneously, her gaze shifted to Bun and Tangyuan, her eyes lingering on them, unable to suppress her laughter. This left Luo Yanqing, Bun, and Tangyuan in a state of amiable resignation.

The kitchen was situated not far from the living area, and the sound of Kang Li's mirth drifted clearly to Luo Yanqing's ears.

A slight upturn graced his lips, his eyes reflecting a similar sense of helplessness.

Bun and Tangyuan exchanged a look, their shared thought being: As long as Mom is happy!

While Kang Li reveled in her amusement and Guoguo joined her mother in laughter, Luo Yanqing, Bun, and Tangyuan were left to navigate the persistent sounds of joy. Meanwhile, Ming Wei arrived home from school enveloped in a cloud of misery.

However, to spare Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen (meaning Min Rui and Ming Han) any undue worry, Ming Wei meticulously maintained a facade of normalcy, her face revealing no hint of her inner turmoil.

It was only upon retiring to her own bed later that night, her mind replaying the events of the afternoon's extended break, that the eyes of the beautiful Ming Wei instantly welled with anger.

She had never anticipated that Han Qian's character was immutable, resorting once again to her familiar tactics and spreading malicious gossip among her classmates. Although Ming Wei's name was not explicitly uttered, and the central theme revolved around her biological mother's issues, Ming Wei was no fool; the underlying intention was undeniably to tarnish her reputation.

Yet, having already severed ties with the Han Family and returned to her own residence, Ming Wei questioned why Han Qian persisted in orchestrating such torment.

If the animosity stemmed from her biological mother, Ming Wei pondered, what direct concern was that of Han Qian's?

That woman had never demonstrated any maternal affection towards her, nor had she nurtured the bond with her elder brother and second brother. Such a biological mother, Ming Wei resolved to act as if she had never existed, abandoning her previous tendency to react impulsively to Han Qian's idle comments aimed at her classmates.

Han Qian, seizing this opportunity, perceived Ming Wei's detachment as a sign of ignorance. Not only did she engage Ming Wei with defiant glances, but she deliberately amplified her voice, loudly proclaiming to her classmates that her biological mother was utterly shameless, residing in their home without the sanctity of a marriage certificate, with the clear aim of becoming her stepmother. Han Qian then delivered a parting shot, declaring, "Like mother, like daughter," and predicting that within seven or eight years, Ming Wei herself would similarly latch onto a man devoid of status or standing.

How could such venomous accusations not ignite her fury?

Nevertheless, she had pledged to her mother to maintain composure and restraint in such trying circumstances. To do otherwise, she understood, would be to easily fall prey to another's intricate scheme.

Within Ming Wei's heart, Kang Li's counsel resonated as profoundly sensible. Concurrently, she recognized Han Qian's deliberate intent to provoke her, aiming to orchestrate a spectacle for her classmates and instructors, showcasing the grade's top student flagrantly disregarding school regulations by engaging in a public confrontation with a fellow student.

Overwhelmed by her internal turmoil, she was compelled to suppress her burgeoning emotions, allowing Han Qian to freely disseminate falsehoods throughout the school. The suffocating weight of this unexpressed rage, however, was almost unbearable!

Ming Wei lay supine, her fists clenched tightly at her sides, before bringing her hand down in a sudden, forceful blow against the mattress.

Internally, she seethed, branding Han Qian a "crazy dog!"

Indeed, Ming Wei categorized Han Qian as nothing short of a rabid canine, her relentless antagonism towards Ming Wei dating back to kindergarten. This hostility escalated vividly throughout elementary school, manifested in disdainful glares, and now, in junior high, it had transmuted into a concerted effort to obliterate Ming Wei's reputation, thereby molding her into the errant student perceived by teachers and peers alike.

What, precisely, was the driving force behind this relentless animosity?

Wide awake, Ming Wei remained motionless on her bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, desperately seeking to comprehend the roots of Han Qian's profound hatred.

Could this feud truly be intrinsically linked to her biological mother?

However, Ming Wei swiftly dismissed this notion. If her memory served her correctly, that woman had only returned from abroad approximately two years prior. This implied that during Han Qian's formative years in kindergarten and elementary school, her biological mother's whereabouts remained unknown, and she could not possibly have been cohabiting with Han Qian's father during that period.

This realization prompted Ming Wei to recall the intricate background surrounding herself and her elder brother, Ming Han, which, in turn, instilled a profound sense of frustration.

Not their father's biological children... Upon initially hearing this revelation, Ming Wei confessed, she was utterly floored. She vehemently rejected the assertions of her so-called biological mother, refusing to accept a single word, denying the truth that she and her second brother, Ming Han, were not their father's biological offspring. Yet, the unfolding events during her elementary school years served as stark, irrefutable memories.

Han Qian had never once, in the presence of classmates, alluded to the striking resemblance between her second brother, Ming Han, and their father during their childhood. She had even later presented a photograph of their father as a boy of seven or eight at school.

Witnessing this evidence firsthand, coupled with the biological mother's unwavering claims, left Ming Wei with no alternative but to accept the painful truth: she should not bear the surname Luo. She and her second brother, Ming Han, were the products of their biological mother's marital infidelity—a profound betrayal of their father, stemming from an illicit affair with another man.

To articulate the situation plainly, her biological father's surname was Han, the very same surname shared by Han Qian's father.
