Transmigrated as the fake young master, I'll beat up the scumbags and b*tches

Vol. 1 - Chapter 80 - Ingrate

Just as HuMing crossed the street, he was stopped by two unexpected visitors.

His brows furrowed, and his expression wasn't exactly friendly as he eyed the pair.

On any other day, HuMing might have had the patience to humor them, but today, he had no intention of wasting time on such matters.

"You two were released? And you two dare come looking for me again. Aren't you afraid of being thrown back in?"

Before Lu GuiFang and Zhao Wei could even get a word out, HuMing's sharp retort cut them off.

Lu GuiFang was just about to lash out, but Zhao Wei held her back, shaking his head at her.

Seeing their subtle exchange, HuMing immediately grasped their intentions.

"HuMing, we know we were wrong last time. Can you forgive us?"

Zhao Wei approached with a bag of fruit; his eyes fixed intently on HuMing.

But HuMing didn't even look at what they were holding. He crossed his arms over his chest, his tone hard and unyielding.

"If you have this much time, why don't you ask Han ShuYi if he's willing to be your son?"

"But you're our son!"

Zhao Wei reached out to grab HuMing's arm, but HuMing pushed him away without hesitation.

Seeing this, Lu GuiFang's anger surged uncontrollably.

"HuMing, don't be ungrateful! We've already apologized. What more do you want?"

"You think an apology is enough?" Ye QiuXue couldn't help but scoff.

She had been quietly standing by HuMing's side, watching him handle the situation, but she couldn't stay silent when she heard what the woman said.

Can a simple apology heal old wounds? Can a mere apology erase the pain of the past?

The world isn't so simple that everything can be exchanged so easily!

"That day at the school gate, you were the one who said you didn't recognize Han HuMing as your son. You even tried to push him away yourself! Do you realize that if that knife had struck, Han HuMing might not even be here now!"

Ye QiuXue's tone grew heavy as she spoke, her eyes fixed on Lu GuiFang. For the first time, she felt a deep-seated loathing for this woman, as if her image overlapped with someone from her past.

Lu GuiFang was still wondering who the girl standing next to HuMing was. But when she looked closer, she realized it was the same girl who had confronted her before!

Seeing one on her left and one on her right, her anger surged, and her blood pressure spiked along with it!

She pointed at Ye QiuXue and shouted,

"What does this have to do with you? Stay out of our family matters! If you're trying to be his girlfriend, I won't agree to it. I've seen plenty of girls like you, give up!"

Ye QiuXue was genuinely amused by Lu GuiFang's words.

When did she become HuMing's girlfriend?

Moreover, given their relationship with HuMing, what right did they have to dictate his actions?

In this matter, Ye QiuXue believed she understood HuMing quite well.

HuMing's gaze fixated on Lu GuiFang, his increasing disgust apparent---a repulsion that seemed to emanate from the depths of his being. It was as if he were looking at some trash.

He slowly lifted his gaze, his eyes instinctively darting to a corner. There, a flash of white light flickered briefly before vanishing.

"Lu GuiFang, you really think too highly of yourself."

HuMing's gaze was cold and distant. Just one look from him made Lu GuiFang step back in fear.

Lu GuiFang remembered HuMing having the same expression when he stood at the school entrance as if he wanted to kill her.

She swallowed nervously and said with anxiety, "You are our son. You shouldn't be living with someone else! It's not right!"

"All right, if that's the case, give me the money you've needed to raise me all these years. I will use it to repay the Han family. And until I come of age, you'll need to pay me alimony. Not much; just start with five hundred thousand, and more will follow."

HuMing extended his hand towards them.

When money came into play, Lu GuiFang and Zhao Wei's faces changed drastically!

They sought out HuMing not only to have him leave the Han family but also with the ulterior motive of leeching money from him!

Considering his poor academic performance, they planned for HuMing to get a job and earn money after graduation.

They never expected HuMing to be one demanding money from them!

Where were they supposed to find five hundred thousand?

"Five hundred thousand, my ass! Raising you was their responsibility, not ours! We won't pay a cent!" Lu GuiFang spat on the ground, clearly having no intention of considering HuMing's demand.

HuMing shrugged his expression one of resigned helplessness.

"Well, you didn't raise me and aren't planning to repay the money. You're putting me in a difficult position. The Han family has supported me for so long, and I don't want to leave with the reputation of being an ingrate."

"Let others say what they want. So what if people talk about you? Is it going to take a layer of skin off you?"

"Then let Han ShuYi support you," HuMing said, stroking his chin and raising an eyebrow.

"Don't worry. If Han ShuYi doesn't take care of you, I'll make sure to announce to the entire school that Han ShuYi is so unfaithful that he is neglecting even his own adoptive parents."

"You dare-!"

Furious, Lu GuiFang lunged at HuMing, trying to slap him.

But HuMing's gaze turned icy, and he swiftly kicked Lu GuiFang in the knee.

With a cry of pain, Lu GuiFang collapsed to the ground, clutching her knee. She opened her mouth, but the pain rendered her unable to speak.

Zhao Wei rushed to check on Lu GuiFang while angrily berating HuMing.

"HuMing! We came here sincerely to apologize, and this is how you repay us? She is your mother!"

"Mother? I'm not sure I'd call her that. Look at her---always talking about Han ShuYi. If she's so fond of Han ShuYi, why don't you divorce her and let her marry Han ShuYi?"

Zhao Wei's face turned pale with anger. He stood up and pointed angrily at HuMing.

But HuMing swiftly grabbed his finger and twisted it forcefully.

Zhao Wei grimaced in pain, quickly pulling his hand away, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

HuMing fixed his gaze on them, observing their comical distress with an icy expression.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're terrible at acting? If you want something from me, you should at least put on a good show. With no sincerity, it's no surprise Han ShuYi doesn't want anything to do with you two."

HuMing walked up to Lu GuiFang, who was clutching her knee and grimacing in pain. He looked down at her with disdain.

"Keep struggling. Your days of causing trouble are numbered."

With that, HuMing knocked Lu GuiFang back down as she tried to stand, then put his hands in his pockets and walked away.

Ye QiuXue glanced at the two of them before quickly following after HuMing.

Lu GuiFang ground her teeth, her eyes burning with fury as she watched the two figures fade into the distance.

She swore she would make them pay for this!

"Tell ShuYi that HuMing refuses to accept us. This ingrate will definitely regret his actions!"

This time, Zhao Wei made no move to stop Lu GuiFang.
