My Beloved

[A/N: We reached the 2nd goal!!! Yay!!! 8 Chapters coming!!! 4 chapters on Monday and another 4 chapters on Tuesday.]

Upon hearing all of their insults, Han Luilui gritted her teeth. She pointed at Han Luo and shouted, "Don't be tricked by her appearance. She is just pretending to be a goodie two shoes. How can she be a saint? She is close to all the boys and not with the girls. Don't you understand what kind of character she possesses?"

Upon hearing her words, the students' thoughts and beliefs began to sway. They looked at Han Luo with doubtful gazes.

Indeed, she was close to boys. She was close to Han Sheng Ming, Mo Yuan, Tang Yujin, and Jared. Even the boys from other classes would come to talk to her. As for females, she was only close to Beth and Zheng Mian.

It was only because girls were too envious of her to get close to her.

Han Luo looked at her straight in the eyes. Her appearance seemed docile but her voice was firm when she said, "I don't care what other people think about me. As long as the people I love and care about loved me back in return, I'm more than satisfied."

"Yes, it's because my little Luo Luo is so cute and kind that I must spoil her and my own sister is drowning in jealousy when she gets everything. She doesn't know how blessed she is." Han Sheng Ming stepped forward after hearing the commotion. "Xiao Luilui, rather than appreciating what you have, you always want to try ruining others. Why Xiao Luilui? You have more than what little Luo Luo has."

Han Luilui clenched her fist and viciously said, "How can I have more than her? She has a damn house on Bishop Avenue."

The students gasped. They were stunned to hear that Han Luo was so rich to live in a place like that.

Only billionaires can afford to live there.

Han Sheng Ming objected, "You have a family. You have parents and siblings. Little Luo Luo only had her parents and she lost them when she was only two years old. As her elder cousin, shouldn't you support her and give her sibling affection? You didn't do it and you even took away whatever dad gave her as a present."

Han Luilui retorted, "When did I take away everything she had? If our dad didn't buy it for her, could she even stay in a place like this? And look where we live. Dad threw us in an ordinary house while she has to live like a princess."

"We would let you stay in the house if mom and my two sisters didn't try to physically abuse little Luo Luo. The reason I asked dad to bring her to London because I knew that you were abusing her in China," Han Sheng Ming completely lost his temper and shouted.

He added, "And, so what dad bought her the house. She had already paid back the money yesterday. She had been working so hard all these years so that she didn't have to hear nasty words from you and mom. Someone like you who doesn't know how to earn money but you keep wasting dad's money buying useless stuff, do you think you deserve to live like a princess? I highly doubt it."

The students began to feel sympathy for Han Luo.

"I didn't know Luo was suffering in her uncle's house."

"What a sad story."

"No wonder she works so hard to earn money despite the homework and exam we have to go through every month. I could never be like her.

"That's true. Who would want to earn money at this age? I would rather hang out with my friends."

"That's why teachers adore her so much. She has no bad reputation."

Han Luilui listened to their conversations and the last thread of her patient snapped. "She took away dad and you!" she shrieked.

Her face was flustered. It could be that she was angry or embarrassed. She felt like crying that her own brother was defending an orphan and an outsider like Han Luo who she hated so much.

Han Sheng Ming glared at his sister and corrected her, "She didn't take anyone with her. If it wasn't for mom, you, and Xiao Wanwan acting like stepmother and stepsisters, we didn't have to defend her like this. She is just a small girl. She is your only cousin. Why can you not love her? She never took your dolls or anything. The only thing she ever wanted was a family!"

"She doesn't need a low life to be her family," this time Mo Yuan stepped forward. He held Han Luo's right hand and continued, "She only needs us as her family. My mom and dad love her way more than any other parents would love their children. If she ever wants to leave her house and wants to stay with me, I will gladly let her be with me."

"…" Han Luo was speechless. She wondered, 'We are talking about how pitiful I am. Is big brother Yuan trying to confess in front of everyone? Don't tell me that's what he meant by pursuing like an adult.'

The temperature of her face gradually began to rise. She wanted to hide her embarrassment. She lowered her head and didn't let others show her that her face was blushing.

Others thought that she was crying. They couldn't help but think how pitiful she was.

Some of them said, "Don't worry, Luo. We are on your side. We know that you are a good person. We will support you all the way!"

"Yes! We will!"

"Don't worry about the people who don't like you. They are just jealous of your beauty and fame."

They cheered for her whole heartily. It made Han Luo feel a lot better.

Han Luilui cried out in anger. She stomped her foot stubbornly and asked her brother, "How can you be on her side? I'm your actual sister!"
