Vol. 1 - Ch. 21 - Trouble

HuMing and Han ShuYi didn't get along. Han YunXi was even concerned about their interaction because of their identities.

HuMing refused to accept Han ShuYi's identity when he heard it. However, HuMing sat quietly in his seat as if he had accepted everything without question.

This surprised Han YunXi, who realized she could no longer see through HuMing. The noisy him seemed to have vanished.

Han LiTian drove smoothly and slowly, rarely pressing the accelerator. Although there might be conflicts between the two, he hoped they could be resolved.

If, in the end, the family could live happily together, then why not?

Everything would be better if the family were to be harmonious. This was the ending that many people wanted.

...

The car finally halted at the school gates. Many students recognized the familiar license plate and immediately thought of Han ShuYi.

However, when the rear door opened, HuMing was the first to step out, followed by Han ShuYi. This situation surprised everyone, as most didn't expect HuMing still to have a close relationship with the Han Family.

HuMing adjusted his backpack silently, his face expressionless. Meanwhile, Han ShuYi stood beside him, chatting with other students.

Han YunXi looked around before focusing her gaze on HuMing. He remained alone as if detached from the world.

Han Litian smiled faintly, watching his children from the car. However, a voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Lu GuiFang walked briskly towards Han ShuYi, her eyes red and distressed.

"Mom..."

Han ShuYi looked at her, calling out her identity.

Only then did everyone realize Lu GuiFang was Han Shuyi's foster mother and Hu Ming's biological mother!

Behind her, a silent middle-aged man followed. His gaze gradually moved from Han Shuyi to Hu Ming. ZhaoWei was at a loss for words as he looked at the quiet child.

Lu GuiFang tightly held Han ShuYi's hand and cried out,

"ShuYi, you're my child. Please come back with Mom, okay?"

"Mom, I..."

Just when Han ShuYi was about to say something, Han Litian, who had just gotten out of the car, stared coldly at them and rebuked,

"Mrs.Lu, I've already compensated you last time! Why are you still coming to find ShuYi again now?"

"I don't want your money. I want my child back!"

In order to keep Han ShuYi, Lu Guifang even grabbed onto his legs to prevent him from moving.

Han ShuYi bit his lip and struggled with his expression. And to outsiders, he appeared to be torn between his biological father's and his foster mother's emotions.

In an instant, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for Han ShuYi. But one of the other main characters in this matter seemed desolate.

Some people noticed HuMing's actions. But this guy's face was expressionless, and he was even yawning lazily. This made a lot of people angry. Isn't this his mother? Doesn't he feel ashamed?!

HuMing, naturally, didn't know what those people were thinking. He just wanted to see how long this drama would go on.

Suddenly, someone poked him from behind, and when he turned around, Ye QiuXue was standing behind him.

"President, are you a ghost? Why are your footsteps so quiet?"

"You're the ghost!" Ye QiuXue retorted, hand on her hips.

"Han HuMing, is that your biological mother?"

"Hard to say... Have you ever seen anyone's mother clinging onto someone else's child's legs?" HuMing couldn't help but laugh, but he seemed extremely sad from Ye QiuXue's perspective.

There was no way HuMing's mood was great at the moment.

But actually, Ye QiuXue was overthinking it. HuMing was feeling quite good right now.

Han ShuYi pulled Lu GuiFang up and turned to look at HuMing, then said,

"Mom, this is HuMing, your biological son."

After hearing this, Lu GuiFang followed Han ShuYi's gaze, and when she saw HuMing, she recognized him as the boy who had looked at her several times on the road that day. However, when she saw HuMing, disgust washed over her face.

"I don't know him, and he's not my son!"

Her emotions were agitated, and her words sparked quite a stir among the students. To not even have any intention to admit her biological child---HuMing's future indeed looks grim.

Han LiTian furrowed his brow; he hadn't expected this outcome. However, even if the Zhao family did not want HuMing, he would continue supporting him throughout his education until adulthood.

"Han HuMing..."

Ye QiuXue couldn't help but be concerned about HuMing's state and pulled at his sleeve, her face filled with worry. At the same time, she had no goodwill for the couple. How could they treat their child this way? Do they not feel any shame as parents?

HuMing turned around and gave Ye QiuXue a reassuring look as if he sensed her concern. Then he stepped forward.

It was the first time he made eye contact with Lu GuiFang, and he could see the disgust and aversion in her eyes.

The original truly had it tough. Han HuMing ended up unloved by his parents from both sides.

"When I heard that someone was causing trouble for the Han family, I assumed it was just some unimportant people. But I didn't expect you two to have the guts to come all the way to the school and cause trouble. Don't tell me you don't see me as your son, even I dare not admit to having a mother like you."

HuMing shrugged his shoulders as if stating the most ordinary thing.

After hearing HuMing's words, Lu GuiFang's face turned pale, and her expression became furious. She pointed at HuMing and shouted,

"I heard you were arrogant and overbearing in school, with no upbringing whatsoever. Now that I see this, you are simply beyond redemption!"

"What does that have to do with you? Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy? Oh, that's right, I heard you did come from a small fishing village by the sea."

HuMing was naturally informed about this couple. He also knew that they would eventually come knocking. And their actions have indeed not disappointed him.

They considered the original a disgrace because of his behavior at school. So, they chose to cling to Han ShuYi and abandon the original.

"You!" Lu GuiFang's eyes widened in rage, but she quickly clutched onto her chest and collapsed on Han Shuyi.

Han ShuYi instinctively supported her body, then raised his head, glared at HuMing, and shouted,

 "HuMing, this is your biological mother!"

"Don't go claiming we're family now. She was the one who said I wasn't her child, and now, when she's breathless, I'm suddenly her child again. What is this? Pandora's womb?"

HuMing stared at Lu GuiFang with a mocking smile on his face.
