Chapter 62: Come to get his face slapped

"Han ShuYi, do you hate me?" HuMing asked bluntly, catching Han ShuYi off guard.Han ShuYi gazed at the person before him, his mind swirling with confusion. But soon, he regained his composure and replied,

"I don't hate you. In this matter, we had no choice."

"Is that really what you think?"

HuMing locked eyes with him, and in that instant, Han ShuYi sensed a penetrating gaze that seemed to delve into the depths of his being.

ShuYi reflexively rubbed his palms but maintained his smile.

"HuMing, even though we are not blood-related, you have spent many years with the Han family. We are, after all, a family. So let's not harbor too many suspicions between us, okay?"

Han ShuYi's words were crafted impeccably, ensuring his position while maintaining the stability of the family.

HuMing stood with his hands casually tucked into his pockets, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"If that is how you feel, then I agree. After all, a lot has happened recently. I imagine the situation with LiYue has given you quite a headache."

HuMing intentionally brought up the matter, showing a helpless expression.

"I didn't expect Uncle Lee to be such a person, nor did I expect such photos to be exposed publicly. It must have been very hard for anyone involved."

HuMing gently placed his hand on Han ShuYi's shoulder, his face filled with sympathy.

Han ShuYi's face turned ashen, but he had to accept HuMing's supposedly comfort.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anger and frustration, and said seriously,

"Then HuMing, what about Uncle Zhao and Auntie Lu? They are your biological parents. Even if there were grievances, you should leave it in the past."

Finally, showing his true colors.

HuMing was puzzled why Han ShuYi had come to get his face slapped, so it was all for this statement.

Han ShuYi looked at the silent HuMing and took the opportunity to continue,

"HuMing, what Uncle and Auntie did that day was cause of their heated emotions. You're their biological son. How could they not care about you?"

"But Lu GuiFang was the one who said back then that I wasn't her child."

HuMing's gaze shot up, fixating on Han ShuYi with an intense stare.

Han ShuYi was momentarily stunned by HuMing's gaze. The intensity in those eyes suggested that his every word would be evaluated and questioned.

There was something about conversations with HuMing that always made him feel uneasy. Conversely, he wasn't able to see through HuMing!

"To be honest, Auntie has already moved on from that situation. After being confined for so long, she has come to terms with her past errors. And the one who caused trouble that day wasn't Auntie, was it? So, please forgive them. After all, family shouldn't hold grudges overnight."

Han ShuYi spoke sincerely, his face reflecting genuine concern as if truly considering HuMing's feelings.

'Oh, I see, he's trying to pass on that couple's mess to me.'

HuMing grasped Han ShuYi's intention and couldn't help but let out a wry smile, his expression becoming increasingly playful.

"Han ShuYi, I'm not as generous as you. They care deeply about you but cast me aside like an old shoe. With that attitude, do you think I will believe they have genuine feelings for me? Or maybe they're trying to gain something from me?"

Hearing HuMing pointing out his inner thoughts sent a shiver down Han ShuYi's spine.

He was supposed to have the upper hand in this conversation, but HuMing always managed to counter his points.

More importantly, HuMing did not appear to believe anything he was saying.

Han ShuYi's brows furrowed, but HuMing continued,

"If they truly want my forgiveness, they should demonstrate it through their actions. Simply having you as a mediator falls short. Are they playing me like a fool?"

HuMing's tone turned increasingly displeased, his gaze growing icy with impatience.

"That's not their intention... They just..."

"Enough, Han ShuYi. I see you as family, which is why I'm telling you so much! I don't want to hear anymore. If they want me to forgive, then show some actual action!"

With that, HuMing slammed the door shut!

Caught completely off guard, Han ShuYi stood stunned as the door closed. He gazed emptily at the closed door, taking a while to come back to reality.

Han ShuYi gritted his teeth, his expression morphing into a grim one.

His hands were tightly balled into fists, and his breathing grew heavy with rage!w

The discussion with HuMing had naturally failed. But what actually got under Han ShuYi's skin was HuiMing's attitude of defying his control. That should not have happened!

Clearly, HuMing had been easily manipulated in school before, so what had caused such a drastic change in him?

'I won't let you off, and neither those bloodsuckers!'

Han ShuYi glared coldly at the closed door before turning and leaving.

Unbeknownst to him, a shadow slowly retreated into the darkness around the corner.

......

Since that night, HuMing and Madam Han seemed to have severed their relationship, no longer exchanging words.

Han YunXi realized that something unpleasant must have occurred that evening, but she did not dare to ask.

After all, if she had to choose, she couldn't decide whose side to be on, HuMing or her mother.

HuMing lowered his head and ate breakfast, seemingly unaware of the stares around him. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Han ShuYi glanced at Madam Han. Even though she had briefly looked at HuMing, her face remained unchanged, and any sign of guilt she previously displayed had vanished completely.

For Han ShuYi, this was a good thing. It meant that the rift between HuMing and Madam Han had become irreparable.

He maintained a calm demeanor despite he was already overjoyed on the inside.

The clock on the wall ticked at a leisurely pace. Han YunXi had little appetite for breakfast, so she only sipped some milk and sat by, waiting for a certain someone.

HuMing finished an egg, a bowl of porridge, and a fried dough stick before finally stopping.

He sighed softly and stood up, saying, "I'm done eating."

With that, he turned and walked towards the door where KangXin had been waiting for quite some time. When Han YunXi noticed HuMing about to leave, she quickly grabbed her backpack and followed him.

Madam Han watched this scene with clear dissatisfaction. She wanted to ask her daughter if she knew who her real brother was!

Following HuMing around all day---what good could come of it?

Of course, she didn't dare to say this. Because of HuMing, Han Litian had already given her a severe scolding.

She didn't want to provoke Han LiTian again over HuMing."
