Ma Rui had enough of this revolting woman's attitude. Ever since she met Han Luo, she had stayed silent about Han Luilui and Han Wanwan, who would always bully Han Luo. She didn't interfere too much because she wanted Han Luo to learn to fight back those bullies. There were things an adult can only teach children by observing from afar – that's what she was doing up until now. However, Ma Rui lost her restraint after seeing the white patch scarred on Han Luo's face. The young girl cried all night for her mommy and daddy. Ma Rui felt suffocated after seeing Han Luo hurt like this and felt guilty for not protecting her best friend's only child. Now that she saw Du Liu, her last thread of patience had snapped.
She didn't give Du Liu the chance to speak. "So, where is that mobster daughter of yours? Why didn't you bring her to apologize to Luo'er? Or is it that you don't want to teach your daughter properly? I guess a country bumpkin will raise a country bumpkin," Mai Rui snickered. She wished she could insult Du Liu to the point that she would think twice before trying to harm Han Luo.
Not all country people are the same and Ma Rui knew that; it wasn't that she disliked country people. She had visited many places and met many people, and she divided them into two groups: one group was the first class – the people with good hearts, and the other group was the third class – the selfish low lives. Du Liu was one of those low lives.
Du Liu thought that it was the worst day of her life. First, she was humiliated by the school teachers and now she was being ridiculed because she was from the countryside. However, the person in front of her was still the Madam of the Mo Family. She couldn't make Ma Rui angry with her behavior.
She forced herself to cool down and declared, "I apologize for the sudden visit, Mrs. Mo, but I would like to meet Xiao Luo. I'm here to take her with me."
Ma Rui lifted an eyebrow. "You want to take her so that your mobster daughter can harm her until she is satisfied? That's not going to happen." She wouldn't ever let anyone hurt her best friend's daughter, Luo'er.
Du Liu frowned and raised her voice a little. "I'm her legal guardian so you cannot stop me from taking her."
Ma Rui already saw the legal papers. She wasn't afraid of Du Liu. "Her legal guardian is her uncle and he already requested me to take care of her. He also apologized for the inconvenience that was caused. What about you? If you truly think you are the guardian of Luo'er, then why didn't you stop your daughter from harming her? Why didn't you say anything whenever she hurt Luo'er in the house? The Han Mansion isn't safe for an heir like Luo'er."
Du Liu's blood boiled in irritation, but she forced herself to smile and proclaimed, "Mrs. Mo, you are mistaken. Sheng Ming is the firstborn and is male, so he is the heir of the Han Family."
"Luo'er is the daughter of the actual heir of the Han Family. How can Sheng Ming become the heir? And also, everyone knows that Luo'er gives better results than Sheng Ming. Just because someone is born first and born as a male child doesn't automatically mean they are the heir. It takes personality, courage, and intelligence to become the heir." Ma Rui covered her mouth out of a sudden realization.
She narrowed her eyes and continued, "Now I understand. You want everything for yourself and that's why you are letting your children push Luo'er hard. This is serious. I cannot let something like that happen. If you really cared for the six year old child, you would have brought your daughter to apologize to Luo'er, not try to drag her away while she is sick. You have no empathy for a little child, yet you are a mother of three children. What can be more disappointing than this? Your greed has eroded your humanity."
Ma Rui glared at Du Liu and sharply commanded, "Get out of my sight this instant. I don't want to see your face in the future. Next time you dare to come here, I will call the police. Haven't your daughters disgraced the Han Family twice in a row now? Even Elder Tang hates them to the core. Sadly, for you, the whole school will find out what they have done. If you care about your family even a little, you would teach your daughters to be sane. There is no way the brother of those insane girls can take the position of President of the Han Corporation. Remember that." After her fervent confrontation, Ma Rui turned around and left. The guards closed the gate right in front of Du Liu's face.
Du Liu trembled in anger. 'Because of that little girl, how much more do I have to suffer?' She wanted to break everything that was near her. She wanted to explode and vent her anger. But soon, she had calmed down. She knew that Han Luo would come back to her eventually when her husband brings her back. If that were to happen, she would make Han Luo her slave. Du Liu would never allow her to go anywhere close to the company and would never let her work in any corporation. That way, her son's road will be clear. She laughed sinisterly as she got in the car.
In the meantime, Ma Rui went back to the mansion and called Han Changhong. He was resting after lunch, so he answered the call almost immediately. "Hello Mrs. Mo, good afternoon. How can I help you?" He already talked to her a few minutes ago, and he couldn't understand why she called him now.
Ma Rui stated, "Mr. Han, I want to talk to you about something urgent.. It's regarding Luo'er. Do you have some time?"
