章節 59: HAN LUO'S SCORE

The archangels looked down at the scene from heaven, and they all even gave 100 marks to Han Luo's acting.

"She did great."

"She has a bright future."

"She can become a legendary actress when she grows up."

"That's true."

As they praised her acting, Han Luo came downstairs and reached out to Han Wanwan. Han Wanwan was crying loud in the morning, destroying the peacefulness of the Han Mansion.

Du Liu ran out of her room and gasped seeing her daughter on the floor. "Wanwan!" She called out anxiously and quickly climbed down. She tried to shove Han Luo away, but she was slipperier than *Teflon. Han Luo moved away while Du Liu's hand caught the empty air. She glared at Han Luo before hugging Han Wanwan. "Wanwan, how did you fall? Are you in pain? Where does it hurt? I will call the doctor immediately!"

Han Luo twisted her lips. 'Did auntie leave her brain in another room? Of course, Wanwan is in pain.'

Han Wanwan cried, "It's all Xiao Luo's fault. She pushed me."

Du Liu's veins popped. "Xiao Luo, how dare you?!" She never raised a hand against her youngest daughter. The thought of an orphan touching her precious child with those filthy hands disgusted her.

"Huh? Cousin, did you hurt yourself so much that you forgot what just happened? You came behind me and I made a way for you but suddenly you rolled. I didn't think you are dumb enough to fall from the stairs. Did you perhaps try to play a rolling-down-the-stairs game with me? I'm so sorry – I didn't understand your friendliness!" Han Luo showed her sympathy with a deeply hurt expression.

Han Wanwan gritted her teeth and shouted, "YOU tripped me!"

"Ah… what a brave yet ugly accusation. Do you have proof?" Han Luo raised an eyebrow.

Du Liu couldn't take it anymore. She scolded Han Luo, "Xiao Luo, don't go so far! Just because you are living here, doesn't mean-"

"Doesn't mean you can make uncle upset," Han Luo finished Du Liu's line. Afterward, she covered her mouth with her right hand and said in horror, "Auntie, you aren't going to say something that would make uncle upset, are you now? You do know how much he cherishes his precious brother and his daughter – me." Her eyes laughed at the mother-daughter pair.

Du Liu couldn't stand her mockery. She stood up and was about to move to the direction where Han Luo was standing. Han Luo was relaxed and lazily pointed at the surveillance cameras. "Auntie, you know these were installed a year ago. They record everything."

Du Liu felt paralyzed. She didn't think Han Luo would go this far to threaten her like this. Han Luo put hidden cameras everywhere around the house and no one could find them anywhere. "This is my house. Remove them at once. You have no right to do anything without my permission."

"Why should I? Auntie, don't tell me something unspeakable is going on in the house that shouldn't be seen." Han Luo looked at Du Liu innocently. She didn't mean anything deep by it but Du Liu started sweating. She stuttered, "W-what are you saying? This is my house you cannot just put the surveillance cameras here."

"I took uncle's permission, auntie. Please don't think I'm naughty enough to do that. By the way, this is the Han Mansion. I am a Han. I hope my dear auntie won't forget that" Han Luo clearly declared, further smothering Du Liu into a state of silence. Han Luo walked past her auntie and before leaving the room, she paused to turn around. "Auntie, I wish you didn't forget about your daughter. Don't you want to call the doctor?"

Han Wanwan and Du Liu gaped at her. The mother's eye then suddenly narrowed into a menacing glare, masked by infuriation. Du Liu had revolted yet also amazed at how rapidly Han Luo changed after her brothers left. It was almost as if she had become a new person. But both of them were so occupied that they forgot about the main incident. The moment Han Luo pointed it out, Han Wanwan cried out once again and Du Liu panicked.

Han Luo didn't care about the drama and went to the kitchen directly. Butler Noah was preparing breakfast for her. He had been in charge of her meal and everything in general. No one could interfere, as Han Changhong warned everyone including his wife.

"Noah, I'm hungry!" she exclaimed.

"Go to the dining room first. I'll be right there," Butler Noah replied.

"All right!" Han Luo cheerfully sang as she greeted everyone she met on her way. She waited for Noah in the dining room, as he had instructed.

Six years ago – after Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, and Mo Yuan left – Ma Rui told Han Luo that she was going to leave her at the Mo Mansion, but Han Luo didn't agree. The Han Mansion was her family house and she had every right to stay there. While living in the Han Mansion, she learned that 'no one makes a place for anyone. People have to make a place for themselves,' and that's what she did. She stubbornly stayed at the mansion and saved herself constantly from the bullying. She didn't let go of her rights.

In those six years, Han Sheng Ming called her every day and Tang Yujin called her every week. However, Mo Yuan didn't call her at all, nor send any texts. She didn't disturb him either. All she was curious about was the kiss that day of their departure. Ma Rui often went to England to meet her son, and so did Han Changhong and Tang Yujin's parents. But Han Luo didn't go. She wanted to wait for the right opportunity.

Butler Noah brought a bowl of steamed sticky rice. Han Luo liked the steamed sticky rice. "You have fifteen minutes left before Madam Mo comes to pick you up, so you can eat slowly."
