Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1737: Chapter 1317: Are You Even Comparable to Me?

None of the three children are genetically related to Luo Yanqing, but this man is still raising them... Not wanting to think further, Feng Lu said to Han Bin, "I’m going to rest." The implication: you should leave now.

But Han Bin didn’t budge. He said, "Lulu, just let things go with Su Yun! No matter what, she’s lost the baby in her belly, and she’s not married yet. After what happened today, her reputation is ruined. Her days ahead won’t be easy. Just let her have the house and the money. Otherwise, if anything happens to her, it won’t do you any good."

Feng Lu: "Something happens to her?"

Han Bin: "You’re forcing her to return the house and the money. If she can’t take it and does something desperate, it’s entirely possible."

"I’m forcing her? How am I forcing her? The house and the check were given by you—they never belonged to her. I’m only asking for what belongs to us as a couple. If she doesn’t want to give it back and chooses to end her own life, that’s her problem. What’s it got to do with me?"

Feng Lu refused to relent. She stood up. "Now please leave. I need to rest and don’t want to waste any more words with you."

"Think it over."

Standing up, Han Bin left the guest room.

Expressionless, Feng Lu closed the door and muttered to herself, "There’s nothing for me to reconsider."

...

Perhaps worried Feng Lu would bring the neighborhood ladies to cause trouble at the entrance to her family compound again, or maybe just to finally cut off any lingering attachment to Han Bin, Su Yun ultimately returned the house Han Bin had transferred to her name, along with the fifty-thousand yuan check.

She handed them directly to Han Bin, saying nothing at all.

Han Bin felt a complicated mix of emotions. He informed Feng Lu of what had happened, giving her the keys to the house and the check.

Taking back the couple’s joint assets from Su Yun, seeing her own name on the deed, Feng Lu showed no special emotion on her face. In daily life with Han Bin, she continued to act distant and lukewarm.

This Thursday, the second week after the new semester started, Feng Lu showed up at Shuimu University to talk with Jiang Li about something.

It’s worth mentioning that Jiang Li is now a doctoral advisor. Compared with teaching undergraduate classes before, her workload has lightened considerably, though it’s less obvious.

"You looking for me about something?"

Ever since returning from her hometown to North City, Jiang Li had moved into a courtyard house near Shuimu University with Captain Jiang, Cai Xiufen, Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, and the children, both young and old.

No doubt, this courtyard house was given by Jiang Boya. It’s quite big, with many rooms, and it truly was ready to move into directly.

Okay, before she headed back to North City, Jiang Li had contacted Jiang Boya, asking this "bargain father" to get someone to clean out the courtyard house and air out all the bedding, so they could move in without having to lift a finger.

But although Jiang Li had no classes today and was at home at Shuimu University, she didn’t expect Feng Lu to find her here, much less to come specifically to see her.

"I want to see Luo Mingrui and the others once a week in the future."

Feng Lu stated her purpose.

"Technically, it’s only fair for you to want to see the kids. But you know as well as I do, Rui Rui is about to take the college entrance exams, and Han Han and Wei Wei are preparing for the high school entrance exams. I don’t want bad influences to affect their studies. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Li looked calmly at Feng Lu and said, "Besides, they’re already old enough to have their own opinions. Now that you want to see them once a week, I’ll have to ask for their thoughts, too."

Feng Lu didn’t respond directly, but asked, "So you know already?"

"I’m not sure what you mean, Ms. Feng."

Jiang Li pretended not to understand what Feng Lu was referring to.

"Luo Mingrui and the others aren’t Luo Yanqing’s children. I believe Luo Yanqing must have told you. After all, the way he treats you and the way he once treated me are completely different."

Feng Lu’s tone grew a bit sour as she spoke.

"Is there any comparison between you and me?"

Jiang Li’s eyebrows arched slightly. She said, "You knew better than anyone why you married Luo Yanqing. Besides, in your marriage with Luo Yanqing, did you ever actually treat him as your husband?"

Feng Lu was left speechless.

"Ms. Feng, you only ever saw Luo Yanqing as a stand-in. You never cared about him, which is why you could let him raise your and someone else’s children with a clear conscience, and you could carry on with other men behind his back with no burden at all,

but as for me, from the moment I got our marriage certificate, I knew very clearly I was his wife, the one to spend my life with him. I cherished him in my heart, and he could feel that, so naturally he put me in his heart too. So when you say he treats you and me differently, well, there’s really no room for comparison. Don’t you think I’m right, Ms. Feng?"
