Chapter 10 - GIRLS PLAY WITH GIRLS
The only heir of the Mo Family, Mo Yuan, was surprised. He pondered deeply before saying, "I don't think I heard that Sheng Ming's mother gave birth to another girl."
Tang Yujin replied, "I know right! He's bringing his sister, so we're going to meet her soon. I've always wanted to have a cute little sister... Sheng Ming is lucky to have three sisters all to himself."
Mo Yuan furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't like other children, particularly if they were girls. They're constantly talking and always annoying. If he tells them to not follow him around, they will do the opposite and follow him around. He refused to deal with them. Mo Yuan had met Sheng Ming's sister, Luilui, before and she was just like all the other girls – disturbing, difficult and disturbing. Difficult, disturbing and difficult. Mo Yuan even had to stop going to Sheng Ming's house after meeting Luilui. Ever since then, poor Han Sheng Ming never wanted to invite his friends to his house again.
But Mo Yuan could tolerate newborns. Newborn babies only know how to sleep. However, he had no clue how to treat a newborn baby. He also doubted that Han Sheng Ming's mother would allow him to leave the house with a newborn baby.
Half an hour later, the Han Family's car reached the Tang Mansion. Han Sheng Ming took Han Luo's hand and went inside. The Head Butler came and greeted him. "Welcome to the Tang Mansion, Young Master Han. Have you been well?"
Han Sheng Ming politely greeted the elder back. "Yes, I'm well! Where is Xiao Yujin and Xiao Yuan?"
"They are in Young Master Tang's study room. Please join them." The Head Butler's eyes landed on the little girl behind him, who was peeking at him with glittering eyes of curiosity. "And who might this young lady be?"
"She is my little sister, Han Luo." Han Sheng Ming smiled at his sister and encouraged her to speak. "Little Luo Luo, why don't you greet him?"
Han Luo came forward and bowed. "Hello… I… Han Luo. Nice… to meet you." Her gentle voice was quivering, and her eyes were glued to the ground out of fear. She was cloaked in uneasiness.
The Head Butler was quite impressed to see such a well mannered child. Suddenly, he recalled something. 'Wait, did she say that her name was Han Luo? She must be the daughter of President Han Ying Wei and his late wife, Qin Zheng! This small, innocent girl lost her parents at such an early age. How pitiful! Though, she is a child only two years of age yet has such marvelous etiquette. Her parents had taught her well. God is truly unjust to people sometimes. The most I can do is wish she has a wonderful future ahead.'
He bowed and declared, "Hello, Lady Han. I am the Head Butler of the Tang Household. It is delightful to make your acquaintance."
Han Luo had realized that this person felt different to Du Liu; he had an irradiating aura of warmth, Her face had illuminated in relief as she beamed brightly at him. Little Luo had started to become careful around people after her aunt and two cousins were unfriendly towards her. She avoided people who mistreated her and stayed with people who treated her well.
The Head Butler also found himself smiling at her but instinctively coughed to hide his embarrassment. He then led them to Tang Yujin's study room. The Head Butler politely knocked on the door and entered the room. "Young Master Han and Lady Han have arrived."
The two four year olds glanced at the doorway and saw Han Sheng Ming standing with a girl who was half his size.
Tang Yujin was startled. "Who's this?"
Han Sheng Ming proudly proclaimed, "Why? Didn't I tell you that I'd bring my sister? She is my little Luo Luo."
Tang Yujin attentively inspected the two year old. "Little Luo Luo? This is the first time I've heard that name! Aren't you supposed to bring your newborn sister? She is too big for a newborn baby."
Han Sheng Ming was confused. "What do you mean? I told you I'd bring little Luo Luo! I never said I'd bring a newborn baby. Where'd I find a newborn baby?"
Tang Yujin was enveloped in confusion. "But you said something like 'my new sister'…"
"Oh! Little Luo Luo is my new sister." Han Sheng Ming grinned.
Tang Yujin blinked. "Is she adopted?" He couldn't understand why his friend's family would adopt a girl when they already had two daughters.
The Head Butler couldn't keep his young master in the dark. He finally opened his mouth to speak. "Young Master, she is the daughter of President Han. Her name is Han Luo."
"Ah! That makes sense now. Wow, Sheng Ming, you could've told us that. I was baffled for nothing." Tang Yujin walked towards Han Luo and gave her a light smile. "Hello, Xiao Luo. I'm Tang Yujin. You can call me big brother Yujin from now on, okay?"
His friendly smile made Han Luo smile radiantly too. "I... Han Luo! Nice… meet you, big brother Yujin!"
Tang Yujin's countenance had begun to glow. "Wow! She is way better than Luilui and Wanwan," he praised.
Han Sheng Ming did not feel ashamed, but instead had a smug smirk stuck on his face."Of course! She is my little Luo Luo, after all."
Tang Yujin giggled. "You're way too happy! But why did you bring her here? Will she be fine with boys? Isn't it better if she played with your sisters?"
Han Sheng Ming shook his head. "Not at all. They don't play with her and when she was given a doll, Luilui became jealous and broke it. Mommy doesn't treat her well either. No one feeds her. When I try to feed her, mommy stops me. She always listens to my sisters, so Luo Luo always stays with me. Daddy realized too! He gave her a dollhouse larger than Luilui's, but they're all mad at that... I couldn't leave my little Luo Luo in a place where I can't protect her!"
Children are honest, and they are more honest when they are with their friends.
