Vol. 1 - Ch. 13 - Plot

Everyone gazed at Han LiTian, waiting for his final decision.At this moment, Han LiTian's thoughts were filled with HuMing's characteristic reputation.

The issue wasn't difficult to resolve; they just needed to ask others for clarification. However, now that HuMing was staring at him this way. He knew this was a choice between the Han family and HuMing.

He observed HuMing's calm demeanour. Usually, HuMing would get upset over minor things, and he waved him away saying that HuMing wasn't prudent enough. But now, HuMing appeared unusually composed.

It was as though if he was a completely different person!

He took a deep breath and then looked at the principal with a intense expression.

"Han HuMing is my child. If I don't believe in him, who else will?"

Then, he turned to the students.

"If you have evidence, present it. Otherwise, you will have to face the consequences of your actions!"

Han LiTian's tone carried suppressed anger as he spoke, which frightened the parents and made them regret not silencing their children.

"I have evidence."

A voice emerged from the doorway, and HuMing instinctively turned to see Ye QiuXue standing there.

She took a silent glance at HuMing and walked in.

Upon hearing Ye QiuXue's words, the students all smiled excitedly. They felt Ye QiuXue was here to help them. HuMing was really in trouble now!

The principal's expression soured with displeasure.

If HuMing had honestly acted in this manner, the situation would have been exceedingly difficult to manage.

If those students had done this because HuMing instructed some thugs to teach them a lesson, the severity of the incident would have been significantly altered!

Han LiTian gazed intently at HuMing, searching for any unusual signs in his eyes. However, HuMing's expression remained unchanged.

Ye QiuXue glanced at the students and then at the principal, saying,

"That day after school, I did see HuMing with some thugs."

"See, I told you so!" Just after Ye QiuXue's voice dropped, a boy eagerly interrupted.

This time, HuMing was really in big trouble!

However, the boy shivered when Ye QiuXue turned her head and glanced at him coldly.

"But he was blocked by those thugs. They were hired by someone else to teach Han HuMing a lesson. Things would have been much more severe if Han HuMing hadn't run fast."

Ye QiuXue's words created ripples, like a stone thrown into a pond. Han LiTian glared at the principal, unable to contain his anger, and said with scorn,

"Mr. Principal, is this how my child is treated in your school? Are there actually people in the school who pay thugs to bully my child? I seriously doubt whether your school is worth further investment from me!"

"Mr. Han, I understand your concern. I assure you that I will thoroughly investigate this matter and provide a definite explanation!"

The principal was taken aback by Ye QiuXue bringing up matters which only fueled the fire!

He, however, couldn't reprimand her as she was the student council president.

Because of her outstanding academic performance, she wielded considerable influence even within the city. Such a student naturally required special attention.

However, someone had to take responsibility for this matter, and it was clearly those students. Thinking so, he looked seriously at those parents.

"There appears to be no room for negotiation in this matter. You should initiate the withdrawal process from the school for your children."

"Principal, please reconsider! Our children are still young. If they are expelled, their future will be ruined!"

"Yes, Mr. Han. I'll have my child apologize to yours. Please, I beg you."

Several parents from ordinary backgrounds even attempted to kneel, but Han LiTian avoided them. He didn't want to be kneeled to by these people. HuMing was the victim in this matter, so why should he forgive on HuMing's behalf?

Thinking of this, his guilt towards HuMing grew stronger.

Had HuMing already become disappointed in them to the extent that he hadn't even told them about this incident?

He looked towards Hu Ming, his expression somewhat indescribable.

But at this moment, Hu Ming was locked in a stare with Ye QiuXue.

It was common knowledge that Ye QiuXue and HuMing had never gotten along well, so it was surprising that she showed concern about this matter.

She really is a good person.

He would like to treat her to a meal at least to return her favor.

As he was still planning in his heart, the other student had already started bickering. They cursed at each other, each believing the other had provoked them that they were in the current position.

In the end, none of them thought they were in the wrong. They indeed deserved this outcome...

...

HuMing had been following Han LiTian from behind for quite some time, but the two didn't yet speak to each other.

Ever since Han ShuYi returned, their relationship seemed to be at a standstill.

It appeared that they were both uncertain about each other's thoughts.

Suddenly coming to a halt, Han LiTian turned around, looked at HuMing, and asked, Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

"HuMing, why didn't you say anything about this incident?"

"Because you were all celebrating that day."

HuMing looked calmly at Han LiTian, his tone unchanged.

Han LiTian could only sigh helplessly.

"It doesn't matter what the occasion was. If you're bullied at school, you should speak up."

With his hands in his pockets, Hu Ming looked at Han LiTian's serious gaze and suddenly smiled.

"Actually, until now, I still find it hard to accept the fact. After all these years together, why weren't we a family?"

His eyes reddened, and from Han LiTian's view, HuMing was still the same as in the past!

"But I understand my position, so I'll try not to cause trouble for you guys."

Hu Ming exhaled deeply, his face expressing a sense of relief. But Han LiTian quickly stepped forward, knocking HuMing on the head.

"What nonsense are you saying? You're our child. Whether ShuYi returned or not, we're still family!"

After saying so, he lifted his head as if holding back something.

Meanwhile, HuMing gazed silently at him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

[Looks like the excitement after Han ShuYi's return has dissipated.]

It was painstaking for HuMing to plot to this extent.

What Han ShuYi tries to do doesn't matter, he will shatter all his plans.

A gentle breeze ruffled HuMing's short hair. His eyes concealed an unmistakable hint of threat.

Han Villa

An inconspicuous maid held a diary, flipping through its pages slowly.

"HuMing... Han HuMing."
