Chapter 1745: Chapter 1319: No Resentment (4)

Min Rui and the other two shook their heads.

"But since Mrs. Feng wants to show off, I have to make her spend a bit more. So I said, one house and fifty thousand are hard to split, didn’t expect her to be so generous—she said she’d get two more houses and ten thousand, so the three of you can share: one house each and twenty thousand each. After hearing that, I didn’t say anything more. If she wants to give, let her give; if you want it, take it; if you don’t, just leave it. Anyway, our family doesn’t care about those trifling leftovers."

At this point, Kang Li spoke with a sarcastic tone: "But after hearing what you just said, I got to know Mrs. Feng a bit differently—turns out she’s quite a double-faced person. She clearly promised each of you one house and twenty thousand, yet she forgot her own words in the blink of an eye. That memory’s gotta be on par with a goldfish. I really have nothing else to say."

Ming Wei widened her eyes: "So each of us gets one house and twenty thousand? Mom, are you hoping we take it?"

"Vivi, did Mom ever say you had to take it?"

Kang Li looked helpless: "I was just mocking Mrs. Feng for being stingy, not saying she’s actually giving you three houses and sixty thousand. If you’re reaching out to take it, that’s up to you. Of course, if you want to take it, Mom won’t object. That’s my attitude on Mrs. Feng’s matter today—you can decide entirely on your own."

"I don’t want her stuff, but Vivi says if it’s there, might as well take it."

Ming Han frowned slightly: "Mom, why do you think Mrs. Feng says one thing and does another?"

Kang Li: "You mean the house and the check she gave you, but didn’t mention your brother or Vivi?"

Ming Han made a sound, "Mm."

"Only she knows, but from what little I know of Mrs. Feng, she’s always weighing the interests related to herself, that’s all."

Kang Li grew serious as she spoke: "Listen up, our family doesn’t lack the trifling stuff Mrs. Feng has in her hands. What you need to focus on right now is studying hard. When you graduate college, whatever you want to do, Mom will support you fully and give you all the help you need."

"Mom, are you worried we’re shallow?"

Min Rui asked.

"No."

Kang Li shook her head and said, "I just want you to remember not to get too attached to money—at least for now, it’s really unnecessary. In other words, Mom doesn’t want you blinded by money, hopes you’ll always keep a clear head, do what you think is right, what you should do, not fret and scramble just for a bit of cash."

"Mom, was I wrong or right to tell second brother it’s silly not to take what’s offered?"

Ming Wei asked.

Kang Li smiled and asked back: "What do you think?"

"I... I just think, since she wants to give, why shouldn’t we take it? But on the way home, when I realized maybe that woman never intended to give anything to me or big brother, I felt kind of presumptuous."

After listening, Kang Li raised an eyebrow: "Feeling uncomfortable? Like Mrs. Feng doesn’t value you?"

"Absolutely not!"

Ming Wei answered instantly, then said, "Mom, I really don’t feel bad at all, and I absolutely don’t need that woman to care. I have the best mom in the world, the best dad, and a happy family. I don’t care at all what an outsider thinks of me."

"That’s my thoughtful good girl."

Kang Li laughed, praising her beautiful daughter, then said to the three siblings: "Mrs. Feng is your biological mother—nobody can change that. If she gives you something later, Mom stands by what I said: you make your own decision.

Don’t worry, even if you accept stuff from Mrs. Feng, Mom guarantees she won’t be upset, and your dad won’t either when he finds out. On the other hand, if you refuse, that’s fine too. In the future, if Mrs. Feng needs you to support her, just fulfill your legal duty, your dad and I won’t say anything. Got it?"

"Mm."

The three nodded.

Kang Li: "Don’t give yourself any pressure about Mrs. Feng, there’s no need."

The three nodded again.

"Mom, I... I..."

Ming Han stammered. Kang Li raised an eyebrow at him: "Something else? And not sure how to start?"

"I get it now. Me and Luo Mingwei, we both know. And big brother, he knows too."

Not able to say it directly, Ming Han didn’t spell it out.

Kang Li: "Know what?" Although she was pretty sure what Ming Han meant.

Ming Han gathered his courage and finally said: "Me and Luo Mingwei—we’re not Dad’s kids. I confirmed it myself from that woman’s mouth."

"Well, you know. Do you feel you need to care?"

Kang Li’s expression was gentle, her eyes full of warmth.

Ming Han looked a little stunned: "Mom... you’re not surprised, not upset?"

"What’s there to be surprised about? All I know is you are the children of this family, you are me and Dad’s kids, raised by us from babies to now—such wonderful young men and women. Nothing else matters."

Hearing Kang Li’s words—that was definitely praise—Ming Han and Ming Wei both blushed, feeling embarrassed.

"Min Rui, you don’t need to overthink. Your dad already knows everything. He originally wanted to find time to talk it out with you and Ming Han and Ming Wei, to prevent you overthinking and affecting your studies. But he’s been too busy at work and delayed it. Anyway, Mom can speak for your dad: you, Ming Han, and Ming Wei, in your dad’s heart, have always been his kids. He has no hang-ups about it, nor do I."

After Kang Li finished, she saw all three siblings had reddened eyes.

"Silly! All three of you are little sillyheads."

Getting up from her chair, Kang Li walked over to the three, rubbed each of their heads, then pulled them all into her hug. The three siblings hugged her waist back, and then they heard their mom say: "There’s something more important than blood ties in this world—and that’s family love!"

"Mm, got it!"

The three answered in unison.

Kang Li patted their backs lightly: "Alright, it’s late, hurry up and get to your rooms and sleep. From tonight on, no one is allowed to dwell on pointless things. If I catch anyone still agonizing, don’t blame me for giving a political lesson, punishing you to stand in the corner, and writing a ten-thousand-word reflection, okay!"
