My Beloved

The Director of Student Affairs murmured, "Disgraceful."

After he left, the teacher, Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, and Mo Yuan followed. Once they had all left, Du Liu slapped Han Luilui on the face. Han Luilui nearly fell on the ground. She stumbled and looked at her mother with teary eyes. "Mommy, why did you hit me?"

Du Liu had never been this humiliated in her entire life. The teacher and the Director scowled at her with disrespect. The guardians glared at her with disgust. They all had a good relationship until her beloved daughter did something so horrible. And their mouths aren't good; they would definitely spread the news of Du Liu and her daughter everywhere. Since Han Luilui brought their daughters into her scheme, the guardians would do anything to disgrace Du Liu and Han Luilui. Du Liu's dignity was crushed. action

Du Liu didn't reply to her daughter. She took the application, grabbed her daughter's hand, and pulled her out of the room. Once they returned home, she slapped Han Luilui once more and screamed, "I don't care what you do to Xiao Luo – she deserves to die anyway. But next time, if you dare ruin the reputation of this family, you will no longer be my daughter." Then, Du Liu locked her daughter in her bedroom and left. She wasn't able to go to her own bedroom before Han Changhong called her.

Han Changhong firmly asked, "What did I just hear from the school? How dare Luilui harm Luo'er! Is that what you teach her at home? No more fancy dresses or toys for her. I'll give you two months. If you can't make her a well-mannered child by then, I'll send both you and Luilui to your father's house in the countryside. You aren't fit to live in the city." He slammed his cell phone onto his desk, fueled by pure fury.

Du Liu was on the verge of tears. She had been acting like a good auntie to Han Luo in front of Han Changhong and was building a good relationship with him. However, now it was ruined. All her hard work had gone to waste.

Du Liu didn't understand why she had to force her husband to show her some affection; she was the one taking care of someone else's child. Han Changhong always supported his brothers, yet Du Liu – his only wife – was still treated like a nobody. It was all Han Luo's fault; she was just like her mother. Thinking about Qing Zheng's beautiful face made Du Liu's face distort until it became uglier. 'Qing Zheng – she would seduce anyone… and now her daughter is keeping my husband and son all to herself. Selfish b***h. She stole them both from me!'

Du Liu was blinded by corruption. But she thought that if her husband didn't trust and love her, he wouldn't let her have control over the Han Family. All Han Changhong ever wanted was to be her husband, and for her to care for him and his brothers. They were the only family he had left. Yet as his wife, she couldn't understand him at all; Han Changhong gave her everything she wanted: she wanted children – he gave them to her, she wanted authority – he gave that to her, she wished for expensive gifts – he gave them all to her.

What did he get in return?

Each time he came back home, he didn't get a warm welcome. He was only met by accusations for not becoming top in the company or for not getting the President title or for not giving the children time or not taking them to a lavish party…

The only person who ever welcomed him warmly and asked how he was doing and asked if he had eaten anything and asked if he was tired was Han Luo. She never complained. She always laughed. She never asked for many things. She was always happy with whatever she was given. Han Luo was the only person who knew how to make others happy. After bringing her home, Han Changhong felt as though his withered heart was finally cleansed with water – how could he not love the child?

Du Liu hurled her expensive cell phone, causing it to shatter on the floor. She thought to herself, 'I have to go to the Mo Mansion and tell Xiao Luo to beg her teacher to forgive Xiao Luilui. My daughter cannot suffer because of that wretched girl.'

At the Mo Mansion, Mo Yuan, Tang Yujin, and Han Sheng Ming wanted to talk to Han Luo, but she had already fallen asleep after having lunch. Miss Mei had come to help the boys with their homework when a maid told Ma Rui that Du Liu is here.

Ma Rui went out and met Du Liu outside the gate.

Du Liu had a friendly smile on her face, acting as an amiable masquerade. "Madam Mo, I thought that the Mo Family is well known for etiquette. How could you not let a guest enter the house, let alone the compound?"

Ma Rui was already furious at Du Liu for not teaching her daughter some lessons. If it were her, she would whip Han Luilui for bullying Han Luo. And now that this rotten woman came to the war zone, Ma Rui wasn't going to let her win any battles.

She crossed her hands and said, "Hearing the word 'etiquette' coming from the mouth of a mobster's mother is funny. Well, of course, a girl would be a mobster when their mother doesn't know any manners. Who would come to somebody's house without any notice? How unmannerly! Oh, though I did hear that you came from the countryside. A country bumpkin isn't fit to live in the city – did you not know? I do wonder why you didn't learn any real etiquette after marriage. You had plenty of opportunities to do so! You live off your husband's money. You don't have a proper job. With all the free time in the world, what do you even do? Spend your days feeding off others' hard work?"
