Chapter 649: Some People Are Unworthy

"Who’s there?" Mrs. Fu walked over to open the door. When she saw an unfamiliar woman standing there, she was a little surprised. "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, is this Qin Wenhao’s home?"

When Mrs. Fu heard the woman was looking for her son-in-law, she immediately nodded. "Yes, but he’s not here. You are—"

"Are the two children here?" The woman’s question stunned Mrs. Fu.

’What does she mean by that?’

’What does she mean, "just here to see the children"?’

Mrs. Fu didn’t let her in just because of her words. Instead, she grew even more wary of this woman.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I’m sorry, this is a bit forward of me. I’m sure you can guess who I am. I... I just came to see the children."

Even if Mrs. Fu was a little slow on the uptake, she now understood the implication behind the woman’s words.

Her expression instantly soured!

And she didn’t know how to react.

After all, should she let this woman in? Or should she refuse?

Just then, Fu Mingxue’s voice suddenly cut in. "Absolutely not. We don’t make a habit of letting strangers see our children. What if you’re a bad person trying to kidnap them?"

"And another thing, we’ve never met you, and we have no interest in guessing who you are. So, stop with the guessing games."

Seeing her daughter appear, Mrs. Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, go on inside."

Mrs. Fu was a little worried, but seeing her daughter’s calm expression, she nodded. "Alright."

She turned and left.

When she reached the twins, she ushered them back into the house. "Come on, go back inside with Grandma."

The twins were very obedient to their grandma.

They immediately went with her.

Meanwhile, the two women at the gate faced each other.

Fu Mingxue’s gaze was cold.

The woman wore an apologetic expression. "—I’m sorry, I didn’t come to disturb you. I—I just wanted to see the children. I have no other intentions."

Fu Mingxue’s expression remained unchanged. She said coolly, "If you’re really sorry, then leave. Our children aren’t in the habit of meeting strangers."

Hearing this, the woman immediately blurted out, "I’m not a stranger! I’m the children’s mother! Qin Wenhao should have told you, my name is Luo Lanqing. I only came to see the children—"

Fu Mingxue looked at her. "Which two children’s mother are you? Are you referring to *our* children? Because our children certainly don’t have a mother who abandoned them to get remarried in a hurry right after their father died."

"Now, please leave. If you know Qin Wenhao, contact him. But if you think you can see the children here without my permission, my only option will be to call the police."

Luo Lanqing’s expression instantly darkened.

However, she quickly got her expression under control.

Then, the rims of her eyes reddened, and her voice caught with a sob:

"I know I failed the children back then, but I had no other choice. My family wouldn’t let me bring them home, and what could a lone woman like me do? I could only leave the children with their paternal uncle—"

"Now I’ve come to Beijing City, and I know you’ve raised the children very well. I’m not here to fight you for them. I honestly just want to see them. You... you of all people should be able to understand a mother’s feelings—"

Fu Mingxue sneered. "I can sympathize with a loving mother, but never with a woman who abandons her own children. Especially one who took all the death benefits without leaving a single cent for them. A woman like that has the audacity to talk about having a mother’s heart? Some people don’t deserve to be mothers. They’re no better than animals."
