Chapter 1744: Chapter 1319: No Resentment (Part 3)

...

It was past nine in the evening. The elderly at home and Bun were all asleep. Ming Han called his brother Min Rui and sister Ming Wei to stand outside Kang Li’s bedroom door.

"Knock knock knock!"

He curled his fingers and knocked, then called out, "Mom! Mom, are you asleep? If not, me, big brother, and Vivi want to talk to you."

"Not yet."

As Kang Li’s voice sounded, she opened the door from inside: "Come in."

Her eyes and brows were smiling, her voice gentle: "Sit wherever you like."

"Okay."

The three of them responded to her.

"It’s already a quarter past nine, what do you want to talk to me about instead of sleeping? Did you forget you have school tomorrow?"

Suspicion appeared in Kang Li’s bright eyes as she smiled and asked.

Min Rui: "It was Luo Minghan who dragged me over here."

Ming Wei: "Mom, I was dragged over by my second brother to disturb you too."

Ming Han glared at them and said, "If you didn’t want to come, could I have dragged you two here?"

"You might not be able to drag big brother, but I’m a girl. I don’t have your strength."

Ming Wei retaliated.

Rolling his eyes at her, Ming Han said, "Why don’t you just admit you wanted to come chat with Mom? Why blame me every time! Honestly, women and petty people are the hardest to deal with!"

As soon as Ming Han said that, they heard Ming Wei reply: "Second brother, Mom is also a woman. Are you saying Mom is hard to deal with?"

"How could that be?"

Ming Han instantly bristled: "Luo Ming Wei, I meant you! It has nothing to do with Mom. Besides, in my heart, Mom is a goddess, my idol, the mother I respect and love most—I only have endless admiration for Mom, I’d cling to her every day if I could, I’ve never thought she was hard to deal with!"

Seeing Ming Han so anxious he looked about ready to explode, Kang Li couldn’t help but feel both helpless and amused. She said, "Alright now, look how anxious you’ve made your second brother. Stop teasing him."

"I did it on purpose!"

Ming Wei winked at Ming Han: "Scared, aren’t you? If you’re ever rude to me again, I’ll either call in my dearest mom, or my favorite little Bun—either way, I’ll have you beat!"

"Yeah, I’m scared of you."

A real man doesn’t argue with women. He’s a big-hearted grown-up and won’t stoop to bicker with this little girl!

Kang Li smiled and shook her head: "Han Han."

"Hmm?"

Ming Han shifted his gaze from Ming Wei to Kang Li, just as Kang Li asked, "You dragged your brother and Vivi over here—what did you want to say to me?"

"I..."

Ming Han’s lips moved, but for a long moment he didn’t follow up.

Kang Li looked at Min Rui and Ming Wei: "Rui Rui, Vivi, which of you wants to talk?"

"I’ll do it."

Min Rui spoke: "After school today, Ms. Feng showed up at our school gate. She pulled Luo Minghan aside to talk. Later, Luo Minghan told me and Vivi that Ms. Feng met with you today too. He also said Ms. Feng wanted to give him an apartment and a fifty-thousand yuan check, but Luo Minghan didn’t accept them."

"So, that’s what this is about!"

Kang Li smiled and said, "Ms. Feng did come to see me. Originally, I planned to talk to you all about it, but I didn’t expect her to be in such a rush. She met me just earlier, and then went straight to you guys."

Seeing the three of them staring straight at her, Kang Li paused a moment, then continued: "She wants to see you once a week. Legally, she has the right to ask for this, so I can’t really refuse,

but I can limit how often she sees you. Still, she is your birth mother, and wanting to see you is understandable. Whether you meet her every week or not—I personally think that’s up to you, so I didn’t say much more to her.

Before she left, she took out a property deed, a ring of keys, and a fifty-thousand yuan check for me to accept. I turned her down on the spot. Even if she said the check was for you and wanted me to hold it, my answer was still no. Like I said, whether to accept or not should be your decision—but I did throw a few sarcastic comments at Ms. Feng. Just don’t get upset with your birth mother because of that."

The three of them shook their heads in unison: "We won’t."

Kang Li smiled: "I know you’re all good kids. To be honest, the reason I said those sarcastic things to Ms. Feng is because she was showing off in front of me, like she wanted to slap mine and your dad’s faces."

Seeing the three of them look a little perplexed, Kang Li explained: "You’re my children, your father’s children. Are your dad and I so incapable that we can’t raise our own kids or give you everything you want? Does she have to show up like that and act superior? It’s just a little courtyard in an average location, about fifty square meters, and not even a proper traditional courtyard. What is there to show off about? Even if you add in her check—do you really think our family needs any of that?"
