Chapter 1277: Chapter 1201:
"You’re so imaginative," Min Rui tweaked his younger brother Ming Han’s ear. "Think a bit, don’t you know how Mom treats us?"
Ming Han rubbed his ear, which was sore from being pinched, and said aggrievedly, "I know, I know, but Mom is so young and beautiful, she must have lots of men liking her. And Dad is not only several years older than Mom, but the key point is that he’s so busy with work that he hardly has time for Mom. Even when he finally gets a break, it’s hard to see him smile. Do you think Mom is happy with someone like Dad?"
"You’re really worrying too much!"
Min Rui glared at his younger brother Ming Han with annoyance. "Listen to me carefully: Mom and Dad are doing just fine together. If you keep talking nonsense, watch out or I’ll smack you!"
"Dad is just a big block of ice, and with us three as extra baggage, I think he’s not great at all. Why did Mom marry him in the first place?"
"Who are you calling extra baggage?"
"Aren’t you, me, and little sister baggage?" Ming Han snorted. "Dad’s lucky to have married Mom, but he doesn’t cherish it, always busy with work. If I were Mom, I’d... I’d dump Dad and find someone better to marry."
"Save that talk for Dad."
Though young, he often worried about the stepmother and other men or felt wronged for the stepmother. He truly didn’t want to pay attention to this silly brother anymore.
"Brother, this is my plan: when Dad goes abroad to visit Mom, I’ll ask him to let me take a leave, and I’ll go with him. In case Mom has fallen for someone else, I’ll help Dad win Mom back. What do you think?"
"Do you believe I won’t tell Mom and Dad what you said, and then you’ll face a mixed doubles beatdown?"
"..."
Ming Han curled up in his bed: "Brother, you didn’t hear anything tonight, and I didn’t say anything."
"You always come first in exams, but with your mind, I really wonder how you got that first place."
Min Rui’s tone was full of disdain: "If Mom thought Dad wasn’t good enough, if she thought me, you, and Vivi were burdens, would she have married Dad back then?
Think it through. Do you think your previous comments are fair to Mom? Luo Minghan, do you know what an ingrate is?"
"Brother, I really know I’m wrong! But can you not accuse me unfairly? I’m not saying anything bad about Mom. I mean Mom is too good, so I’m worried about that."
"I don’t care what you’re thinking now. From now on, remember this: if you dare to be an ingrate, don’t blame me for knocking your teeth out!"
Being warned by his brother, Ming Han didn’t take it to heart at all. He said, "In our family, if anyone loves Mom the most, it’s me, Luo Minghan. Even if someone one day puts a knife to me and tells me to go against Mom, I wouldn’t do anything to make her sad, even if it costs me my life!"
Ming Han said this very earnestly.
Although he couldn’t remember much from when he was two or three, he could feel and see his mom’s love for him over the years.
That was absolutely genuine care and love for him!
"Sleep."
There’s no question about the stepmother’s character. Over the years, she mostly taught him and his siblings. He believed that his siblings were growing up straight and upright like young poplar trees and wouldn’t one day become ingrates.
Of course, that included him.
After all, when the stepmother first came in, he was old enough to remember and knew whether her treatment of them was real or fake.
His thoughts turned to his biological mother, whom he couldn’t remember the face of, but he hadn’t forgotten the suffering he’d endured at her hands.
Speaking of which, it should be mentioned that neither Min Rui nor the twins knew that their biological mom was still alive, nor did they know she was a neurotic and love-obsessed person who was already on a flight back home without their family knowing.
Time passed quickly. Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen had been on the plane with Jiang Boya for eight or nine hours.
Abroad.
Jiang family estate.
"Lili, your dad, and your parents will land in two or three hours. Grandpa has arranged a car to go to the airport. Do you have any instructions for the driver?"
Kang Li was walking in the garden with Allen when she heard Jiang Hongfa’s voice behind them. She stopped, turned around, and looked at him. "No."
What could she possibly instruct?
The Jiang family was wealthy, with bodyguards when they went out. It was just picking people up at the airport, yet Old Mr. Jiang dispatched three cars. In her view, it was somewhat wasteful of resources.
"Alright then, I’ll tell them to set off," Jiang Hongfa said kindly. Seeing Kang Li nod, he turned and spoke to the butler following them, and the two gradually walked away.
"Why don’t you want to talk more?"
"I just don’t want to."
"There must be a reason, right?"
But then again, for the three free grandchildren, she had already arranged everything, thinking nothing much would happen to them.
"Grandma, don’t worry, we never actively seek conflict, but if anyone dares to bully us, we won’t just stand there and take it."
This was Ming Han’s voice.
"Grandma, my mom has told us and big brother many times, we can’t pick fights, but we shouldn’t fear them either. If someone tries to mess with us, we’ll make sure they regret it. We won’t let ourselves suffer willingly."
Ming Wei said with a determined little fist.
"Your mom is right, but Grandpa hopes you can be patient if possible. If not, find your uncles; it’s best not to get into fights impulsively," said Captain Kang solemnly. "You’re still young. You don’t know your strength; even a small matter can become big if someone gets hurt."
Hearing this, Min Rui said, "Don’t worry, Grandpa, we know how to handle ourselves. Mom has repeatedly stressed that we’re not to get into fights easily."
"That’s good."
Captain Kang nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction.
...
The moonlight outside the window was cool as water, and Ming Han lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He quietly called his brother Min Rui: "Brother, can you sleep down here?"
Min Rui asked, "For what?"
"I want to talk to you," Ming Han said as he got out of bed, preparing to climb up to the top bunk. At that moment, Min Rui threw off his blanket. "Alright, lie down. I’ll come down and sleep with you."
Upon hearing this, Ming Han grinned and silently laid back down.
"Go on."
Min Rui quietly came down to the lower bunk and lay down beside Ming Han. "I don’t want to hear any nonsense."
Ming Han lay on his side, facing his brother Min Rui. He blinked and whispered, "Grandma and Grandpa are going abroad to see Mom tomorrow. After a while, won’t Dad also go over there?"
"Don’t beat around the bush."
