Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1709 - 1310: Couldn’t Dodge It (Part 4)
Previously on Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All...
It all just boils down to attraction and male chauvinism at play.
Well, that woman really looks like a good actress, knows exactly how to win a man’s sympathy, and thus capture his heart, tying him down.
She had to admit, in this regard, she was left in the dust.
"I didn’t expect her to do that."
Han Bin actually despised women who tried to play tricks on him the most, but Su Yun had used such tricks to get pregnant with his child, and after the fact, he hadn’t thought much of it. When she said to just pretend it never happened, he simply walked off.
To be honest, he underestimated just how scheming a woman could be.
"Alright, I get what you’re saying. Let’s do it your way."
She had no objections to the compensation, but since that vixen dared to make trouble for her, she might as well lose her reputation!
Han Bin froze: "..." That’s it? No yelling, no fighting, calm as can be, believing what he said, as if none of it had anything to do with her. Was this even the person he knew?
As for Feng Lu’s reaction, Han Bin felt like he was dreaming, but little did he know, soon he would become a fake man.
And this, without a doubt, was Feng Lu’s revenge as the person lying next to him in bed.
Working at the hospital pharmacy, getting whatever medication she wanted was no trouble at all for Feng Lu.
As for Feng Lu not even caring about her own happiness anymore, fine, right now, when it came to Han Bin, he just disgusted her. The last thing she wanted was to get any closer to him.
Even if she herself wasn’t all that clean either, some people just like to hold double standards. Take Feng Lu—the fact that she wasn’t clean is fine, but Han Bin absolutely couldn’t be.
Besides, Feng Lu felt that her own "uncleanness" was before she married Han Bin, back when she was overseas, but Han Bin had become unclean after their marriage. If someone like that touched her, Feng Lu was afraid she’d lose control and throw up right on him.
What’s more, Feng Lu wasn’t about to let Han Bin have an illegitimate kid out there somewhere.
Once Han Bin was all looks and no function, and then if anything happened to Han Qian, everything in this house would be hers.
And of course, if necessary, she’d reveal the truth about Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei’s parentage in front of everyone in the Han family. That way her child would inherit everything of Han Bin’s as a matter of course, and afterwards she’d reclaim whatever the Luo siblings had inherited—then she could just coast through the rest of her life.
"I’m going back to the bedroom to lie down for a bit."
Leaving Han Bin alone in the living room, Feng Lu headed upstairs to the second floor.
Lying on the bed, she started thinking about how to change the way Minghan and Mingwei saw her.
How could she do that?
Feng Lu racked her brains, thinking hard.
Give gifts?
Take them out to play?
Go visit them whenever she had free time?
Only by spending enough time together could feelings grow. With this in mind, Feng Lu knew what to do: she would send gifts to the Luo siblings regularly, take them to the zoo, the amusement park, visit them at the compound.
She couldn’t say anything the Luo siblings didn’t like to hear, especially couldn’t slander their stepmom. She wasn’t dumb—she could see and feel just how much the Luo siblings depended on their stepmom.
...
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Ao Li Village.
No matter if it was Kang Yilin and the other cousins, or the six siblings Ming Rui, Ming Han and Mingwei, plus Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu, all the kids—big and small—had an amazing time. Even Jiang Hongfa and Grandpa Xi, the two old men, felt cheered up these past half month in Ao Li Village and thought coming here to escape the summer heat and recuperate was the best decision.
But it has to be said, when the older kids Ming Rui, Ming Han, and Mingwei, and little Xi Chenyu saw the three Tuanzi kids go into the mountains and easily knock down wild game with pebbles, their envy and shock nearly made their eyeballs fall out.
Among them, Ming Rui, Ming Han, and Mingwei were especially frustrated. They, too, had learned martial arts from their mom, Kang Li, since they were little, so why couldn’t the stones they threw knock animals out cold?
The accuracy was fine, but the problem was lack of strength—when the wild animals were hit, all they did was squawk, and before the kids could get there, each animal either flew off or ran away.
"What the heck is going on?"
Watching the wild pheasant fly off, Ming Han glared in frustration, gripping the little stone in his hand and started grumbling.
"Second Brother, do you really want to know why?"
Tangyuan tugged at Ming Han’s pant leg, looking up with a mischievous smile.
"Mm, your second brother really wants to know, or else I won’t be able to sleep again tonight."
Ming Han looked down at little Tangyuan: "If you know, then tell me, Second Brother."
Ming Wei chuckled low from the side: "Second Brother, you’re really this hung up about it?"
"Aren’t you?"
Ming Han raised an eyebrow.
"I’m a bit frustrated, true, but as long as there’s pheasant and rabbit to eat from what Tuanzi, Tangyuan, and Guoguo catch, I feel like nothing else matters."
Ming Wei had already figured it out. Holding Guoguo’s hand in the woods, she carried a bamboo basket in the other, filled with a dozen or so wild eggs and lots of mushrooms and wood ear fungus.
"Second Brother, crouch down, I’ll tell you."
Tangyuan waved Ming Han over, and he did. Then little Tangyuan said, "Second Brother, me, Fourth Brother, and our little sister were all born strong. Mom says it’s probably genetic; she’s naturally strong, so me, Fourth Brother, and our little sister inherited that from her. Now you know, but you have to keep it a secret, or else bad guys will come after us!"
Ming Rui: "You, Tuanzi, and Guoguo are all like Mom—naturally strong? And the reason I can’t knock down wild animals with a single stone is because I just don’t have enough strength when I throw?"
Tangyuan nodded his little head: "That’s right."
Ming Rui, puzzled: "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
Tangyuan: "Mom says me, Fourth Brother, and little sister are too young; we can’t let people know we’re so strong."
Ming Rui came to understand: "Oh, you just said, mom’s afraid you’ll be targeted by bad people and get into trouble."
Tangyuan nodded again: "Mm-hmm."
"You guys are amazing, inheriting Mom’s super strength—Second Brother is so jealous!"
Ruffling Tangyuan’s head, Ming Han said: "Second Brother will definitely keep your secret and tell no one."
"Tangyuan believes you, Second Brother."
Little Tangyuan’s delicate, fair face bloomed into a huge smile.
Suddenly, Tuanzi called out, "Big Brother, come here, you guys!"
When Ming Rui and the others came over, they saw Tuanzi squatting in front of a plant bearing red berries.
"What’s this?"
Xi Jingyu asked.
"Wild ginseng."
That was Guoguo’s voice.
"Little Guoguo, how do you know?"
Xi Jingyu was full of curiosity, and Ming Rui, Ming Han, Mingwei, and Kang Yilin all looked at Guoguo.
Tangyuan: "I know too. Me, Fourth Brother, and little sister saw it in one of our great-grandpa’s Chinese medical books—the book has a picture of wild ginseng that looks exactly like the one Fourth Brother found here."
Tuanzi: "Not just one plant—there are three,"
Pointing to the other two wild ginsengs, Tuanzi said: "Even though these two don’t have red berries this year, they’re even older than this one."
