After Han Luo got better, she got her first assignment from Acting Vice President Tong.
He was very lenient toward her since she just recovered. She only had to write a report regarding the project Han Sheng Ming was leading.
When Han Sheng Ming got his first project, he had to write a project proposal and yeah, he failed miserably.
That's the reason why he cried in pain. He complained that their uncle Tong only cared about Han Luo and hated him.
That's why Acting Vice President Tong only assigned the hard work to him and entrusted easy tasks to Han Luo.
The whole Han Corporation found out that Han Luo was given an assignment. Although they knew that she had recently recovered, they wanted her to do a better job than Han Sheng Ming.
Their expectations were high because she was President Han Ying Wei's one and only daughter.
And the funniest part was when she took the assignment, her youngest uncle Han Cheng suddenly came out of nowhere.
He didn't ask how she was or congratulated her for being healed or taking the first job. He directly tried to control her.
And now, he couldn't come up with any excuse why he didn't contact her. He got all the false news from Du Liu.
Han Luo found it funny and she also pitied herself. Among her blood relatives, only Han Changhong and Han Sheng Ming cared for her deeply.
She realized that she only needed them and no one else. Other than them, Ma Rui, Mo Zhen, Noah, Tang Yujin, and of course Mo Yuan were here to love her and support her when she needed people by her side.
They were very few in number but it was more than enough.
Other people had lots of people around them but when in need, no one could be found.
In her eyes, Han Cheng was like those people. He wasn't there when she needed the support. He only came when she took over a company assignment.
That's why she could be cold-hearted toward him without mercy.
Han Cheng's expression didn't look that good after getting the cold shoulder from Han Luo but he didn't complain.
He stood up and said, "I'll do whatever I can to help you. Since I couldn't be a good uncle, I can at least be a good supporter."
"I have a high expectation from you, Mr. Han," Han Luo stood up as well. "Let's continue our chat in the company next time and you can stay at my house for a week. After one week, please find a hotel for yourself. I only allow my family members here, not outsiders."
After she left the living room, Han Cheng covered his face and sighed deeply.
He didn't want things to go this way. However, it seemed like it was beyond his control.

"So, you are ditching your uncle," Zheng Mian commented. She was currently in Han Sheng Ming's bedroom and fully occupied his bed as if it's hers.
"I'm not ditching anyone. It's him who chose to not get close and I gave him a chance to get close to me," Han Luo explained her plan while standing in the middle of the room.
"Little Luo Luo, are you sure that you want to treat uncle Cheng like this? He is a good person and he always helped me when I needed help," Han Sheng Ming attempted to persuade his cousin.
He wished that his big family would stay together happily ever after. He felt helpless when his one big family clashed among themselves.
"Big brother Ming, he helps you, he contacts you, he is on good terms with Xiao Luilui and Xiao Wanwan, and yet he forgot about his niece Luo. How can I treat him like my eldest uncle?" Han Luo squeezed out a forced smile.
"That's right. He decided to stay away from Luo and he deserves this treatment from her. Why are you pushing her? You should rather persuade your youngest uncle to be good to Luo or I'll strip him naked and spank his ass," Zheng Mian threatened.
Han Sheng Ming's eyes turned round like flying saucer. He pointed a finger at her and stuttered, "Y-you s-shameless woman! How could you wish to spank your elder's butt? A-and, he is a man!"
"Oh, shut it. Do you know the fun of spanking a stubborn man's ass? Maybe I should spank you instead," Zheng Mian abruptly stood up and chased after him.
Han Sheng Ming took her joke too seriously. He thought that she would really spank him.
If he was spanked by a girl in front of his younger cousin, wouldn't he lose his face?
He jumped out of his chair and sprinted away from his room.
Han Luo chuckled. Their actions always kept her house lively.

"She bought the house by working as a model!?" Han Cheng was shocked.
Han Changhong sighed. "I told her multiple times to save her hardworking money for herself but she is too stubborn to listen. I had to give up. I'm ashamed that I couldn't teach my daughters to be like her," he lamented.
Han Cheng replied, "You were busy to keep the company strong. I did what I could to help you from overseas. It was sister-in-law's duty to raise them well. Xiao Luo got her responsible attitude from our second brother."
He added, "We all hope that the second brother will wake up soon. This way Xiao Luo doesn't have to work so hard."
"I think the more you want to support her, the more she will work hard. She also got healthy recently. Cut her some slack," he suggested.
"You are right. Tong is giving her too much pressure. She needs to take a break," Han Changhong agreed.
Han Cheng added more, "Give her more time to study. She is a university student now. Her study pressure is more than before.. By the way, she is eighteen now. Did you think about her marriage?
