Volume 1 Chapter 198 How Han Luo Felt (2/2)

Han Sheng Ming grabbed her shoulders and shook her. ”Didn't mommy hurt you? Look at your face. How can you still take her side?”

Han Luo disagreed. ”I'm not taking her side. It's just All I'm saying that if someone hurts me, I can deal with them. But if you and uncle continue being good to me and get on the bad side of your family, it'll be very difficult for me to fight for justice.”

Han Sheng Ming looked at her steadily and asked solemnly, ”Are you telling me that you want to fight for yourself alone?”

Han Luo squeezed a small smile. ”Who said I'm alone. I have Noah, big brother Yuan and big brother Yujin with me. They won't let me suffer.”

”I want you to share your hardship with me too,” he desperately said.

Han Luo responded, ”Big brother Ming, I think you are mistaking something. As long as you and uncle are by my side, I won't suffer. I know you are shielding me and that's more than enough.”

She added, ”Just wait another four years. I'll be a grown-up. Then, I can support myself on my own. That's why I'm telling you that you don't need to fight against your mother to support me.”

Han Sheng Ming couldn't believe her words. ”Is that really enough?”

She sweetly replied, ”You are already supporting me more than I needed and I'm very grateful for that.”

Han Sheng Ming shook his head and lamented, ”Little Luo, you are just too good to people.”

”I don't want to hurt anyone who is your family.” What Han Luo said was true.

However, it didn't mean that she would let go of those three; Du Liu, Han Luilui, and Han Wanwan. She didn't raise her voice today because she was feeling responsible for taking all the affection of her uncle and her cousin for herself.

She has no interest in fighting against Du Liu. Firstly, she won't raise her hand against an elder who is Han Sheng Ming's mother no matter how lowly she was, she has her own principles; and second, she won't stoop to her level.

Yet, it doesn't mean that she will let go of Han Luilui and Han Wanwan if they dare to harm her. She isn't a Mother Theresa forgiving people who scheme against her.

Not to mention, she was greatly pleased when Han Sheng Ming stood by her side. She wanted to provoke Du Liu but controlled herself.

Han Sheng Ming said, ”I will do as you said but you have to promise me something.”

”What is it?” She curiously asked.

He said with resolve, ”Promise me that you won't let them go if they hurt you or I will personally hunt them down even if they are my family. Don't forget that you are my family too.”

Han Luo chuckled. ”Okay, I promise. My big brother Ming is too cool.” She gave him a thumbs-up.

Han Sheng Ming told her, ”Enough! Don't talk too much. Isn't your mouth hurting from talking so much? I feel like cutting off my cheek so that it wouldn't sting anymore. Mommy is so energetic, geez.”

”Does it hurt too much?” Han Luo reached out and touched his cheek over the bandage.

Han Sheng Ming shivered. ”Ah! Don't touch.”

”Oh, sorry,” Han Luo retracted her hand. She pondered deeply for a while and then said, ”Big brother Ming, I decided that I'll do a part-time job.”

Han Sheng Ming blinked. ”Huh? Why is that? Do you need money? You can ask daddy-”

She shook her head. ”No, not that I need money. I know that uncle had forked out half of his fortune to buy this house for me. I want to pay him back.”

”Little Luo, don't do this” Han Sheng Ming wanted to voice out his father's affection and responsibility toward her. He didn't want his little sister to shoulder these burdens. In his opinion, she could depend on him and his father, and they would fend off every obstacle in her path.

However, she was not going to let anything change her mind. ”Let me grow up, big brother Ming. Let my daddy and uncle be proud of me,” her tone was pleading but her black orbs were shining with determination.
