My Beloved

Chapter 365 - TAKING ADVANTAGE

Han Sheng Ming didn't like it when his little sister chose his friend over him. He raised his voice again and chided her, "Little Luo Luo… get away from him. He is taking advantage of you!"

Although Han Luo was shaking, she looked at him in the eyes and told him, "I'm already eighteen. I have every right to choose whoever I want."

"What's going on here?" a calm voice spoke from behind.

The three of them looked at the doorway and saw Tang Yujin coming out of the house. He was wearing a blue t-shirt and the same colored jeans. Noticing an angry Han Sheng Ming, a calm Mo Yuan and on the verge of tears Han Luo, he could guess what was happening.

'It looks like Sheng Ming has found out about Mo Yuan and Han Luo,' he thought. His eyes landed on Han Luo and Mo Yuan's joined hands. He sensed something sharp pricking his heart. 'So, that's how it is. They have kept it a secret for a long while. Did they decide to tell Sheng Ming today? Or is it Sheng Ming discovered it before and confronted them? Sheng Ming did look distracted and quiet. I should have guessed that something like this would happen.'

However, he waited for them to describe the situation.

Behind him were Noah, Zheng Mian, and Sophia's son Jack. They also came to find out what was going on out there.

Han Sheng Ming pointed at Mo Yuan and exclaimed, "It's Mo Yuan! He dared to show his fangs on my little sister. He brainwashed her and-"

Han Luo got mad. She didn't like it when others badmouthed innocent people, especially if it was her big brother Yuan. "Don't talk badly of big brother Yuan. We like each other mutually."

Han Sheng Ming told Tang Yujin, "See? Didn't I tell you? She has been brainwashed."

Noah, Jack, and Zheng Mian couldn't barge in the conversation. They stayed quiet. Zheng Mian seemed worried about Han Luo and Mo Yuan.

Tang Yujin felt like he was having a headache. Angry Han Sheng Ming was always hard to deal with and today he was extra angry which was even more difficult to appease.

Tang Yujin began to speak, "Wait, hold on."

However, Han Luo intervened, "It's you who is being biased. Don't you know what kind of person big brother Yuan is? Why are you talking nasty words?"

Han Sheng Ming gave her a look of disbelief. "Little Luo Luo, are you trying to forsake your family for an outsider?" he asked.

It pained Han Luo when she had to argue with her cousin who loved her dearly and she did as well. She corrected, "Big brother Yuan isn't an outsider."

Han Sheng Ming clenched his fists. His anger rose. He declared in a seething tone, "Little Luo Luo, you have to choose between us. Do you want your family or a traitor? If you choose me, you must break up with him and if you choose him, forget about seeing me ever again."

"Big brother Ming!" Han Luo couldn't believe this was happening to her. She had no idea what to do. It was her first time feeling helpless and clueless.

Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan frowned. They felt that Han Sheng Ming was crossing the limit now. He had no right to control Han Luo who was already above eighteen and plus, he wasn't her guardian.

However, Han Sheng Ming stood rooted on the spot. He didn't care about anything else. He was stubborn. He wouldn't go anywhere before he got a conclusive answer about this today. He spoke coldly, "There is no point in shouting anymore. I've already told you what to choose. Whatever you want, the choice is yours."

"Why are you doing this?" Han Luo questioned him. "What did we do wrong? We just love each other. Where did we harm you in any way?"

Han Sheng Ming did his utmost to explain it to her, "You don't understand, little Luo Luo. He is taking advantage of your naivety."

Han Luo still couldn't understand what was his problem and what was making him act like that. She inquired, "What do you mean by that?"

Whatever it was, she had a bad premonition.

Han Sheng Ming realized that if he didn't tell them everything, they wouldn't understand no matter what, especially Han Luo who was blinded by emotion. Thus, he tapped his cell phone and then showed Han Luo a picture.

Han Luo's heart dropped seeing what her cousin was showing. It was a picture of the hospital. Han Luo was sitting on the bed and Mo Yuan was sitting on a chair beside her. They were kissing each other passionately. There was no mistaking it.

"…" Han Luo couldn't utter a single word. During her stay in the hospital, Mo Yuan accompanied her all the time. Moreover, they were kissing or hugging almost every day. Since both of them were wearing the patient uniforms, she couldn't pinpoint what day it was when the picture was taken.

Her memories flashed and remembered what Jasmine told her. When Han Luo was leaving after meeting her, Jasmine told her, "I've prepared a gift for you. Hope you like it."

'Was it her doing? Did she send the picture to big brother Ming to ruin our relationship?' she pondered. She felt like cursing that girl.

Jasmine did say that she would break them apart. If that's what she was planning, Han Luo wouldn't let her live peacefully.

Mo Yuan saw the picture and understood immediately when the photo was taken. He waited for a full explanation.

"What? Can't we even kiss if we are dating?" Han Luo asked. She never met such an unreasonable person before in her life.

"It wasn't all that. Not only Xiao Yuan deceived me but also, he was planning to eat you alive," Han Sheng Ming told her. He promised to bring back his old little Luo Luo who would always support him no matter what. He couldn't let her be with someone who would manipulate his sister's brain.

"What? What are you talking about?"
