Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1307: 1209

“Disgusting? Simply seeing me makes you feel disgusted, and being touched by me is even more so?”

Su Man’s eyes, which had been welling up with tears, had unexpectedly gone dry. She casually tossed Wen Siyuan’s discarded shoes onto the floor. The resentment radiating from her eyes was so intense it felt tangible. Clenching her jaw, she silently vowed, “If that’s the case, then I shall simply ensure you are disgusted to your heart’s content!”

Her gaze then drifted towards the bedside cabinet positioned near the window. After fixing her stare upon it for a moment, she stood up and walked over.

Sinking onto the edge of the bed, she bent down and opened the cabinet’s drawer. From within, she retrieved a small bottle of medicine, promptly unscrewed the cap, and directed her attention to its contents.

This collection had been painstakingly gathered since the eve of the last Chinese New Year.

Each time she visited the doctor, she feigned insomnia for the night, thereby obtaining three to four sleeping pills. Consequently, with every monthly doctor’s visit came a fresh acquisition of pills, slowly accumulating until the bottle was nearly half full.

Her intent was not to depart from this world, but rather to employ these pills as a tool to manipulate Wen Siyuan.

She wanted to ascertain if he would still dare to casually bring up the topic of divorce with her again!

A peculiar, dark glint flickered within Su Man’s eyes. She re-sealed the bottle with its cap and nonchalantly placed the medicine back in its original spot. After closing the drawer, she laid down on the bed, her expression frigid.

A little more waiting, she decided. If Wen Siyuan dared to mention divorce again before the holiday concluded, especially if he initiated divorce proceedings, she would make her move right in front of him.

This course of action would not only ensure she received prompt medical attention but would also ensnare Wen Siyuan with the bonds of moral obligation, thereby preventing him from forcing her into a divorce!

Despite the apparent perfection of the plan forming in her mind, a profound sadness, rather than elation, washed over Su Man.

She recalled her initial intentions before marrying Wen Siyuan: to build a life with him, to be a devoted wife. But how had reality twisted so drastically?

His three stepdaughters, while not outright hostile, treated her more like a familiar stranger than a true family member.

Furthermore, her arduous journey to college, even if it was a junior college rather than a university, had established her pride as an educated individual. Yet, as graduation neared, the institution showed no leniency and expelled her without hesitation.

This disgrace not only cost her face at school but also made her the subject of ridicule within the entire compound.

Was her downward spiral truly her own doing?

No, it wasn't... this misfortune was not hers to bear; it was a consequence of Wen Siyuan's actions and that hussy living next door.

If Wen Siyuan had shown her more affection, cherished her, and made her the center of his universe, would she have been compelled to envy and feel jealous of others? Would she have reached the point of… of contemplating an end alongside Xu Wei?

Had that conniving woman next door never moved into the compound, never possessed such captivating charm, and never been doted upon by the men of the family, with her stepchildren affectionately calling her 'mommy' and flaunting such apparent domestic bliss, would Su Man have harbored such potent jealousy and a constant desire to surpass her?

As her thoughts churned, Su Man’s eyes filled with an all-consuming hatred. She detested Wen Siyuan for his lack of attentive care, his failure to offer comfort; she reviled Kang Li for marrying Luo Yanqing, for relocating to this compound, and for relentlessly trampling upon her!

Her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. The sharp pain from her fingernails digging into her palms was insufficient to dislodge Su Man from her dark descent.

In essence, she cast blame upon everyone else for her current predicament, failing to recognize her own role in her downfall.

It was a truly tragic, lamentable, and utterly pitiable situation!

Beyond the window, the night lay in silent tranquility, the moonlight cascading like liquid silver. Merely a wall away, within the room formerly belonging to Cai Xiufen and Captain Kang, now occupied by Elder Sister-in-Law Kang and Big Brother Kang, Elder Sister-in-Law Kang stirred. Turning onto her side to face Big Brother Kang, she remarked:

“Don’t you find Li Bao to be quite extraordinary? After years of medical diagnoses indicating she was inherently frail and unlikely to conceive, she unexpectedly became pregnant with triplets, and remarkably, all were born healthy and safe. It truly is a stroke of great fortune!”

Big Brother Kang chuckled and agreed, “Indeed, Li Bao is incredibly fortunate. Back then, when Mom and Dad brought Little Wu and Li Bao back from the clinic, the moment Second Brother and I laid eyes on Li Bao, we were filled with such delight.

We were eager to bestow all our most cherished possessions upon her, yearning to hold her, believing that by doing so, we could partake in her good fortune. For this very reason, Mom and Dad frequently cast stern glances our way, sternly warning us that if we frightened Li Bao, we would face punishment according to the family’s established rules!”

Hearing Big Brother Kang recount these memories, Elder Sister-in-Law Kang couldn't help but laugh. “You and Second Brother were quite the handful. Considering your ages then, you were significantly older than both Li Bao and Little Wu.”

“What’s the fuss? Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother all have always longed for a younger sister. Besides, on the very day Mother brought Li Bao home, she was so small but truly resembled a little sticky rice ball, so fair and cute.”
