"You’re so imaginative," Min Rui tweaked his younger brother Ming Han’s ear. "Think a bit, don’t you know how Mom treats us?"
Ming Han rubbed his ear, which was sore from being pinched, and said aggrievedly, "I know, I know, but Mom is so young and beautiful, she must have lots of men liking her. And Dad is not only several years older than Mom, but the key point is that he’s so busy with work that he hardly has time for Mom. Even when he finally gets a break, it’s hard to see him smile. Do you think Mom is happy with someone like Dad?"
"You’re really worrying too much!"
Min Rui glared at his younger brother Ming Han with annoyance. "Listen to me carefully: Mom and Dad are doing just fine together. If you keep talking nonsense, watch out or I’ll smack you!"
"Dad is just a big block of ice, and with us three as extra baggage, I think he’s not great at all. Why did Mom marry him in the first place?"
"Who are you calling extra baggage?"
"Aren’t you, me, and little sister baggage?" Ming Han snorted. "Dad’s lucky to have married Mom, but he doesn’t cherish it, always busy with work. If I were Mom, I’d... I’d dump Dad and find someone better to marry."
"Save that talk for Dad."
Though young, he often worried about the stepmother and other men or felt wronged for the stepmother. He truly didn’t want to pay attention to this silly brother anymore.
"Brother, this is my plan: when Dad goes abroad to visit Mom, I’ll ask him to let me take a leave, and I’ll go with him. In case Mom has fallen for someone else, I’ll help Dad win Mom back. What do you think?"
"Do you believe I won’t tell Mom and Dad what you said, and then you’ll face a mixed doubles beatdown?"
"..."
Ming Han curled up in his bed: "Brother, you didn’t hear anything tonight, and I didn’t say anything."
"You always come first in exams, but with your mind, I really wonder how you got that first place."
Min Rui’s tone was full of disdain: "If Mom thought Dad wasn’t good enough, if she thought me, you, and Vivi were burdens, would she have married Dad back then?
Think it through. Do you think your previous comments are fair to Mom? Luo Minghan, do you know what an ingrate is?"
"Brother, I really know I’m wrong! But can you not accuse me unfairly? I’m not saying anything bad about Mom. I mean Mom is too good, so I’m worried about that."
"I don’t care what you’re thinking now. From now on, remember this: if you dare to be an ingrate, don’t blame me for knocking your teeth out!"
Being warned by his brother, Ming Han didn’t take it to heart at all. He said, "In our family, if anyone loves Mom the most, it’s me, Luo Minghan. Even if someone one day puts a knife to me and tells me to go against Mom, I wouldn’t do anything to make her sad, even if it costs me my life!"
Ming Han said this very earnestly.
Although he couldn’t remember much from when he was two or three, he could feel and see his mom’s love for him over the years.
That was absolutely genuine care and love for him!
"Sleep."
There’s no question about the stepmother’s character. Over the years, she mostly taught him and his siblings. He believed that his siblings were growing up straight and upright like young poplar trees and wouldn’t one day become ingrates.
Of course, that included him.
After all, when the stepmother first came in, he was old enough to remember and knew whether her treatment of them was real or fake.
His thoughts turned to his biological mother, whom he couldn’t remember the face of, but he hadn’t forgotten the suffering he’d endured at her hands.
Speaking of which, it should be mentioned that neither Min Rui nor the twins knew that their biological mom was still alive, nor did they know she was a neurotic and love-obsessed person who was already on a flight back home without their family knowing.
Time passed quickly. Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen had been on the plane with Jiang Boya for eight or nine hours.
