Chapter 46 - THE COMMOTION IN THE LUNChapter BREAK
Tang Yujin was the coolest guy among the boys Han Luo knew. When he spoke with a friendly smile, she could never say 'no'. She never disobeyed him; she knew how caring he was. Not only Tang Yujin, but the people in his house were also good to her.
She finally relaxed and said, "All right, big brother Yujin. I won't meet them alone."
"Huh…" Han Sheng Ming's jaw dropped. She was his sister – why wouldn't she listen to him, but obediently listen to his friend? He couldn't understand her at all.
Tang Yujin carelessly smiled and rubbed her head. Her hair was braided by the butler today, giving her the appearance of a small 'big girl'.
Mo Yuan composedly suggested, "Let's go to our usual spot." They would always sit under a big tree and have their lunch under its soothing shadows.
Before they could take another step, Han Luilui and her three friends came out of their class. Han Luilui asked her brother in a pitiful tone, "Big brother, whenever you come to our class, you always talk to Xiao Luo. You never even look at me. Do you want to ignore your sister like that in school all the time? Is Xiao Luo only in your eyes? Can I not become someone you care for?"
Upon hearing her pitiful complaint added with a sad expression, the boys and girls around them felt sympathy towards her. They thought Han Luo was too much. She not only became close to Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan – the top students in the second year – but also took Han Luilui's one and only brother from her. They glared at Han Luo with eyes sheathed in resentment.
Han Luo didn't look around, so she didn't see those hateful gazes aiming at her. Her eyes were blankly looking at her cousin, Han Luilui.
Mo Yuan and Tang Yujin had a composed countenance. They already guessed what Han Luilui meant. Tang Yujin placed a hand on her small shoulder.
However, Han Sheng Ming was simply minded; he could never guess what his sister was thinking or plotting. "What do you mean I don't glance at you?" he asked. "Don't we live in the same house? I always have to suffer seeing your ugly face. Whenever you don't understand – even though you have a private teacher – you always come and disturb my study time. If I didn't help you to understand your lessons, could you have even passed kindergarten?" His voice had abrupt hoarseness. "And whenever and wherever you have the chance, you bully little Luo Luo. She does nothing wrong but you still throw away her shoes, tear her books, and break her dolls. Do you think I will let little Luo Luo play with you during the lunch break after everything you've done? No way!"
His honest words were like a tight slap on Han Luilui's face. Her face flared red in embarrassment. But to prove her innocence, she quickly retorted, "W-what are you talking about? I do nothing mean to her! It's Xiao Luo who took away you and daddy. Daddy doesn't like me at all…"
Han Sheng Ming lectured his younger sister, "No one will like you if you keep taking other people's stuff! You better not come and make little Luo Luo's life harder or I won't forgive you!"
The students around them started to whisper and look at Han Luilui with a doubtful look. Those who were looking at Han Luo with resentment suddenly had become embarrassed and hatefully scowled at Han Luilui.
Han Luilui saw that things didn't go the way she wanted. She wept, as little trickles of water streamed down her reddened cheeks. She looked at Mo Yuan and asked, "Big brother Yuan, won't you support me?"
Mo Yuan's expression darkened, and he instinctively looked away. He subtly bent his lips out of annoyance. He couldn't stand being near Han Luilui, yet the girl still dared to call him 'big brother Yuan', just like Han Luo. His anger caused his head to throb.
When Han Luilui saw that Mo yuan wouldn't be on her side, she looked at Tang Yujin with a sorrowful expression. Tang Yujin shuddered. He didn't want to be called 'big brother Yujin' by her anymore, so he changed the subject. "Sheng Ming, we don't have much time left. Why don't we eat before the bell rings?"
"Yes, let's go. We have wasted enough time," Han Sheng Ming agreed. He gripped Han Luo's hand and the four of them left.
After that, the students also left. Han Luilui was left alone with her friends. One of her friends complained, "Look at her. She took your brother away and always acts so high and mighty. Xiao Luilui, you have to do something about her!"
Her second friend agreed, "Yes, she is so shameless going around with three boys."
"Maybe she gets help from them and that's how she gets good results!" the third one exclaimed. "Her homework must be done by one of them."
Han Luilui tried to hold back her tears, but her eyes were burning. Her whole face was clouded by a fog of gloom. "I turned into this because of Xiao Luo… because of her, nobody likes me. Nobody even looks at me… not even my own brother! My daddy only praises her and gives her dolls. Ever since she came, nobody cares about me! She took everything from me! She took everything!"
She was swathed by so much fury that the glum girl forgot she ordered five sets of party clothes from a French online shop. It cost one million RMB, yet her caring father still agreed to buy her all those clothes.
Han Changhong never said 'no' to his wife and children if they wanted something. He let them go wherever they wanted and let them do whatever they wanted. In exchange, he only wanted to have good results. The Han Family's children were raised in a strict life. They must have good results since childhood if they wanted to join the company. He didn't have good results and so his brother became the President. After he became the Acting President, people still looked down at him. He didn't want his children to suffer the same fate, hence he told them to have good results. But none of his children could do it. Though Han Sheng Ming's results were better than his two daughters, he always came third because of his two intelligent friends.. His results could never make him President of the Han Corporation.
