"So, all of you think it''s my fault huh? I''m bad, I''m evil. But that''s not how it is, alright? You are all bewitched. You are bewitched by that sl*tty girl. I won''t spare her," saying that Du Liu raised her hand trying to p Han Luo again. Her expression was vicious like a snake wanting to attack its prey.


    Han Luo was listening to their conversation and internally med herself. In spite of being innocent, she had to shoulder this unreasonable burden. She couldn''t remember how her uncle''s family was before she had the car ident.


    However, she could understand this much that after she went to Han Mansion, her uncle''s family wasn''t peaceful and it was only because of her existence in their family. She hung her head and didn''t move away. She was ready to take another hit thinking she deserved it.


    But the pnded on Han Sheng Ming''s cheek. Could Han Sheng Ming let his mother hurt his beloved sister in front of him? He had to step in. The p was so forceful that his cheek was scratched by his mother''s sharp nails and blood dripped from his injury.


    Han Luo was not able toprehend the current situation in time and even before she could register what happened, Noah pushed her behind him to protect her. She didn''t see that Han Sheng Ming took the blow for her.


    Even Noah didn''t have the time to think that the boy would shield Luo from the p. He thought that he would be receiving it. He didn''t expect for Han Sheng Ming toe forward at the unexpected moment to take the hit.


    "S-Sheng... Sheng Ming!" Du Liu was horrified. She didn''t predict that something like that could happen. It was the first time she had ever hit her beloved son.


    Han Sheng Ming''s cheek stung. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain silently. He touched his injured cheek and felt something moist on his fingers. He gazed at his hand and saw blood.


    ''My mommy ps little Luo like that. She must have been in pain but never said anything. I''m such a pathetic older brother.'' As he thought that, he felt something squeezing his heart tightly making him unable to breathe.


    He slowly nced at his mother whose face was full of disbelief and panic. He suddenly realized what''s needed to be done. He quietly asked, "Are you happy now?"


    Du Liu was flustered. "Wh-what? Sheng Ming I-"


    Han Sheng Ming steadily said, "I just realized how merciless you are to a child. Mommy, you are like a viin stepmother who hurts children. I don''t want to associate with you any longer. I don''t want to see you and your daughters again."


    Du Liu''s eyes widened in shock. She objected, "What are you talking about Sheng Ming? They are your sisters!" She suddenly had a bad feeling about her son''s serene attitude.


    Han Sheng Ming shook his head. "Not anymore. People like them cannot be my sisters.Just look at them how they are taking things without permission when those things don''t belong to them." He pointed at his sisters.


    Everyone looked at Han Luilui and Han Wanwan. They were checking the expensive showpieces and decorations, and taking whatever they liked and putting them in their bags.


    Han Luilui casually turned around and saw them looking at her. She didn''t feel guilty and shrugged. "I''m just taking something that belongs to my brother. Can''t I even take them? Please, don''t you think so cheap. We are family."


    Han Sheng Ming chuckled. "Family… right, family." He clenched his fists and dered, "From now on, we are not family. I don''t want to see you guys and if I see you anywhere I will act as if I don''t know you. If youe here again and make a ruckus, I will personally call the police. Now get out. I had enough for today."


    Du Liu eximed, "Sheng Ming!" She never even dreamed of a day like this toe when her lovely son would utter such harsh words to her.


    Han Sheng Ming exploded, "Get out! Don''t you understand Chinese? I''m going to tell daddy what you did today. So, prepare yourself for it."


    He was on the verge of breaking down. He couldn''t take it anymore. He looked at Noah and tiredly said, "Noah, see them out."


    "dly," Noah replied. He politely told Du Liu, "Madam Han, I will escort you and your daughters out. I hope not to see you anywhere near mydy and mistress in the future."


    Du Liu''s face turned pale. "But then, where will we stay? I thought we would be staying here. Sheng Ming, you are not heartless enough to throw us out, right?"


    Han Sheng Ming gritted his teeth and tried his utmost not to falter. "How can I show mercy to people who harmed us? I learned from my mother not to show mercy to the innocents, but mommy isn''t even innocent, is she?"


    "Sheng Ming," Du Liu cried out.


    Han Luilui and Han Wanwan also didn''t want to look for a hotel to stay in the cold weather. The worst part was, they didn''t know English very well and used a mobile trantion application to get in here.


    Han Luiluiined, "Brother Ming, how can you be so heartless? Did you change because you stayed with Xiao Luo? And, Xiao Luo, you are living off my daddy''s money and yet you refuse to let us stay. Where are your morals?"


    Han Wanwan snickered and ridiculed Han Luo, "Maybe she lost her morality when she was a model."


    The girls sneered at her.


    Han Luo was also feeling tired. She sighed and said, "Let them stay in the guest room-"


    Han Sheng Ming interjected, "No, I will call a hotel and book a triple-bed room. After that, I will call a taxi."


    Du Liu and her daughters'' eyes were sparkling when they heard Han Luo agreeing to let them stay.. However, their hope was crushed by Han Sheng Ming.
