Chapter 102: Plan

"HuMing, ShuYi didn't mean it that way."Li Yue, who had been listening from the side, couldn't help but step forward to defend Han ShuYi, but HuMing looked at her doubtfully.

"Oh? Then tell me, what did he mean?"

"He's probably just worried that taking such drastic action against your biological parents might harm your reputation."

Hearing this, HuMing couldn't hold back a mocking laugh.

"Li Yue, you're truly something else. Everything Han ShuYi does is for my own good, right? Honestly, I think people shouldn't worship god; they should just worship Han ShuYi instead."

As he spoke, HuMing even gave an exaggerated, reverent bow toward Han ShuYi.

The classroom echoed with scattered laughter, a few students lowering their heads as they struggled to stifle their amusement.

HuMing's words left Li Yue blushing with frustration. She opened her mouth, but no words came out to refute him.

Han ShuYi's expression darkened, but he remained silent in response to HuMing's remarks.

Seeing that neither of them was responding, HuMing finally became serious.

"Han ShuYi, if you're really that concerned about them, then tell them to stop harassing me. What happened last time sealed our fate---there's no good outcome for us. And don't tell me I can forgive them. Forgiving them would mean betraying myself after I almost got stabbed that day."

"And also, your so-called 'good'? It's not good for me at all. It's like parents snooping through your diary and saying it's for your own good. How would you feel?"

HuMing's final words were directed at the other students.

Connecting his earlier statements with this, the classmates immediately felt a sense of resonance.

After all, at their age, parents always claimed that everything they did was "for their own good", which only added unnecessary pressure.

Now, Han ShuYi and Li Yue's words seemed to mirror what their parents would say.

Gradually, the students began to side with HuMing subconsciously.

Sensing the shift in the classroom atmosphere, Han ShuYi was forced to lower his head toward HuMing.

"HuMing, you're right. It's your life. I overstepped. I'm sorry."

As he spoke, he even offered HuMing a formal apology.

HuMing raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smile.

He walked forward and wrapped his arm around Han ShuYi's shoulder, the previous hostility gone, as if they were close brothers.

However, his grip tightened slightly, causing Han ShuYi's pupils to contract sharply.

He lowered his head silently, his teeth clenched so tightly that there wasn't a single gap, as if he was ready to grind them to dust!

His shoulder was still injured and hadn't fully healed, yet HuMing had deliberately grabbed that very spot!

'This guy dares to do this in front of everyone?!'

Han ShuYi endured the pain, his eyes filled with hatred.

...

After returning home, HuMing ate dinner and returned to his room.

As usual, Kang Xin also came to HuMing's room, but this time, there was something off about her expression, as if she was holding back from saying something.

HuMing, sharp as ever, immediately sensed something was wrong with her. Suddenly, he recalled something important, and upon seeing her expression, he instantly understood the outcome of a certain matter.

"Young Master, I've retrieved the item you asked for last time. I've already gone through the contents."

Kang Xin was forthright, making no attempt to hide the fact that she had read the contents of the document.

"You read it? And the result?"

"They're not your biological parents."

As expected. HuMing had begun doubting this ever since his meeting with Zhao Wei and his wife.



After all, there wasn't the slightest resemblance between HuMing and the Zhao couple.

Still, even if Zhao Wei and his wife had been his biological parents, HuMing would've altered the outcome regardless.

Not everyone is suited to be a parent, and even if they were qualified, it would only be for Han ShuYi.

HuMing took the document from her hand.

Kang Xin looked at him in confusion, unable to fully comprehend his emotions. Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Why does Young Master not look sad but, in fact, seem more relieved?

Meeting Kang Xin's gaze, HuMing handed the document back to her after reading it.

"Keep this for me. I'll need it in the future."

"Young Master, aren't you sad?"

"Sad? Why would I be sad about people who are clearly against me? Do I look like an idiot?"

HuMing's blunt words left Kang Xin momentarily speechless. She quickly realized that her young master didn't care at all who his real parents were.

She stood there quietly, watching him.

"Kang Xin, do you like it here?"

HuMing suddenly asked, catching her off guard. She was stunned for a moment before shaking her head.

Because of HuMing, Kang Xin was targeted quite a bit by other servants in the villa. As HuMing's maid, she was often assigned a heavy workload.

She knew full well that those people were deliberately making things difficult for her.

However, HuMing had saved her life once, and she had devoted herself to taking care of him.

However, after HuMing's drastic change in personality, he became completely different from before. He began teaching her how to study and encouraged her to think for herself.

Gradually, Kang Xin begins enjoying this new life.

Not the life at the Han family's villa but the life with HuMing by her side.

"Then we'll be leaving here soon."

"Mm."

...

In a rundown rental apartment, Zhao Wei was applying ointment to Lu GuiFang's injuries. Lu GuiFang winced in pain, her face contorted in agony.

"Could you use a little less strength?!"

"If I use less, it won't do anything. Just bear with it!"

Zhao Wei's tone showed a hint of impatience. His wife had always been like this. Even after more than ten years of marriage, her stubbornness remained unchanged.

Although Lu GuiFang would appear gentler when Han ShuYi was home, the moment Han ShuYi left to stay with his biological parents, her true nature burst out.

She had no desire to acknowledge that son she had never met before, and their first encounter had already resulted in an irreversible conflict.

Zhao Wei could never understand why Lu GuiFang had pushed HuMing during that time.

"GuiFang, do you really dislike Han HuMing?" Zhao Wei asked.

Lu GuiFang spat into the trash can, muttering curses under her breath.

"Does he treat us like parents? Just look at him! Where does he even compare to ShuYi? It's completely different when you haven't raised them yourself. Look at how well-behaved ShuYi is under our guidance. If that Han HuMing was really that good, he should've come to us himself instead of us having to seek him out at ShuYi's urging!"



Zhao Wei couldn't help but agree with her.

HuMing certainly didn't show them any affection. They were his biological parents. Without them, wouldn't he just be a guest in someone else's home? How could he live comfortably under someone else's roof?

"Let's not talk about this now. ShuYi just messaged me!"

Lu GuiFang picked up her phone, carefully reading the message Han ShuYi had sent.

Moments later, her expression grew serious as she looked at Zhao Wei and asked him, "Take a look at this. ShuYi sent me a video. Doesn't this seem like something Han HuMing would do?"
