When Han Luo entered the living room, she saw Han Sheng Ming having a hearty chat with Han Cheng. They seemed to have a good relationship.
She didn't know why but her heart was pinched with something sharp as if she felt jealousy. For what reason she felt such emotion, she had no idea and she didn't want to think about it.
Seeing her enter the room, Han Sheng Ming's eyes sparkled. He said, "Ah, little Luo Luo, you came back. I have been waiting for you since yesterday. Look, uncle Cheng is here. He said that he would take us to Thailand. Do you want to go?"
"Do you want to go to Thailand?" Han Luo asked.
Han Sheng Ming nodded excitedly, "Yes, if we all go together in the winter break, it will be so much fun and uncle Cheng said that he would take us to his resort. Just think little Luo Luo, we will stay in a five star resort for free for several days!"
Han Luo smiled seeing him so excited. Ever since she woke up from a coma, he was so gloomy and serious that she could hardly stand him. She preferred his usual cheerful personality more.
She took her cousin's hands and stated, "It's June. We have plenty of time to think about that. I want to talk to uncle Cheng. Can you give us some time?"
"Okay, I'll be in my room then," Han Sheng Ming agreed.
After he left, Han Luo looked at Han Cheng. Han Cheng was twelve years older than her. When she had the accident and lost her mother, she was only two and Han Cheng was fourteen.
After the funeral, her grandfather went to America with his youngest son and never came back.
'He must be too shocked to think of his granddaughter', Han Luo smirked in her heart.
Thirty year old Han Cheng was a good looking man. His dark eyes and black hair were similar to Han Ying Wei, Han Luo's father. His features were familiar to Han Changhong.
With eyes like Han Ying Wei, Han Cheng looked at his niece dotingly.
Han Luo hardened her heart and sat down on a couch.
Han Cheng called out, "Xiao Luo…"
"Why are you here?" Han Luo directly went to the business. "You have never contacted me nor did you want to see me even once. You never tried to care for me or even asked if I was okay or I was bullied. And now, you suddenly came here with all your care and affection. Is it because of the company?"
"No! Xiao Luo, you are wrong!" Han Cheng objected.
Han Luo tilted her head. "Is that so? Then, please explain why you are here now."
Han Cheng sighed. "Xiao Luo, after my second brother went into a coma, it was hard for all of us?"
"It cannot be harder than a two year old girl who lost everything, can it?" Han Luo's tone was sarcastic.
Han Cheng desperately told her, "Xiao Luo, how can you say that? Eldest brother took you under his wings and he loves you so much that he bought you a house. How can you lose anything? You got a big family. Eldest sister-in-law and her children are so good to you. I saw Sheng Ming care for you deeply."
Han Luo burst into laughter. Her laughter echoed in the room.
Her sudden laughter made Han Cheng dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why she was laughing after he spoke about such a serious matter.
Han Luo laughed till her eyes turned red. She wiped her eyes and gave him an amused look.
"You are right. Everyone loved me so dearly that big brother Ming was worried sick and he requested uncle to bring me here." Han Luo leaned her body closer to her uncle and asked, "Do you know why he was worried?"
Han Cheng was puzzled. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
Han Luo coldly gazed at her uncle and described, "It's because auntie, Wanwan, and Luilui bullied me to the point that they sent me to the hospital multiple times."
Han Cheng's eyes widened. "What? Impossible! Eldest brother was there…"
"What about my uncle? He was always busy with the company and hardly came to the mansion. How could he do anything?" Han Luo shrugged.
"I don't blame him though." She added, "After the accident, he had a rough time. Now, big brother Ming and I are reducing his workload as much as we can."
"Eldest sister-in-law bullied you…" Han Cheng was confused, "But whenever I called her, she always said that you were playing with Wanwan and Luilui. She even said that she was happy to have you."
"And yet she had no clue when I came to London," Han Luo smirked.
Han Cheng was dumbstruck. He couldn't utter a single word.
"And you use this brain to run a company," Han Luo commented. "I don't care if you really care about me or not. In the future, I will need your guidance. Hope as my so-called 'family', you will help me. If you get in my way or try to mislead me, I will remove you from your post. Trust me, in two years, I will have that power."
"Xiao Luo…" Han Cheng lowered his head. He blamed himself for believing his sister-in-law.
"Talking to me so intimately won't help you in any way. I will not soften my heart for someone I just saw sixteen years later," Han Luo's tone was strict and firm.
"Xiao Luo, I didn't know how to face you after everything happened," he finally said. "I'm so sorry for being a coward."
"How come you got a face now? How did you gather courage after sixteen years?" Han Luo inquired. "Is it because I'm working on a project now? Or is it because we will meet sooner or later and so you need to make an entrance?"
