Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1348 - 1219

Both brothers shook their heads spontaneously. Ming Han expressed, "Mom, I am simply overjoyed!"

Min Rui concurred, "Mom, I am delighted as well. Why did you return so early?"

"Naturally, it is because I missed you both," Kang Li's eyes softened. She smiled and continued, "Very well, I understand you are so ecstatic to see Mom that you are weeping with joy, yet Mom does not wish to see you cry."

Lifting her hand, Kang Li tenderly wiped away the tears from Min Rui and Ming Han's faces. She then directed her attention towards Ming Wei, inquiring, "Why are you just standing there and not approaching?"

Ming Wei instinctively took a step forward but felt her hand being grasped. The grip tightened considerably just as her biological mother, Feng Lu, seized it. Ming Wei's heart constricted instantly, and she couldn't help but glance at Feng Lu.

Feng Lu, with a visibly displeased expression, questioned her, "Are you not intending to accompany Mom?"

"..." Ming Wei's lips pressed together firmly. After a brief pause, she retracted the foot she had extended and stated, "Mom, let's go." Her heart felt heavy, but Ming Wei made a conscious effort to conceal any outward signs of distress.

In truth, her reddened eyes and subtle reluctance already betrayed her internal feelings at that moment.

"Would you be so kind as to release my daughter's hand?"

Kang Li moved a couple of steps away from Feng Lu and Ming Wei, halting her advance. She fixed her gaze directly upon Feng Lu. However, Feng Lu showed no inclination to relinquish her hold. The instant she saw Kang Li, jealousy flared within her, finding Kang Li exceedingly radiant, to the point where she yearned to transform into a shrew and claw at Kang Li's visage.

It was insufferable enough that Kang Li was elegantly attired, but her face was also captivatingly beautiful—who was she attempting to ensnare with such allure? Or was this an ostentatious display aimed directly at her, an assault upon her very eyes?

Feng Lu's heart was consumed by a burning jealousy as she wallowed in her self-righteous indignation.

"If you did not apprehend what I stated, I am more than willing to offer a small assistance," Kang Li declared. As she spoke, Kang Li extended her hand. Subsequently, Feng Lu emitted a sharp cry of pain, "You..." involuntarily releasing Ming Wei. Feng Lu shot a furious glare at Kang Li, rubbing the hand that Kang Li had painfully pinched, exclaiming, "You are barbaric!"

"I was merely providing assistance," Kang Li replied smoothly.

Kang Li offered a polite smile before shifting her gaze back to Ming Wei, extending her hand to the young girl. "Let us go home."

Unexpectedly, Ming Wei not only evaded the gesture but also glared defiantly at Kang Li, asserting, "I am not returning. I wish to remain with my mother and live with her from now on."

"Are you quite certain that the lady beside you is your mother?"

Kang Li's gentle eyes were filled with an air of patient tolerance.

"We bear a resemblance!"

Indeed, in terms of appearance, Ming Wei bore a striking likeness to her biological mother, Feng Lu. Standing side-by-side, it was readily apparent that they were mother and daughter.

Kang Li's expression subtly shifted, yet her gaze remained gentle and understanding. "Then, who am I to you?"

"You are the one Dad married subsequently; my stepmother. Previously... before now, I believed my biological mother was gone, which is why I resided with Dad. But now that my biological mother is alive and well, I want... I wish to live with my biological mother."

Fully aware of the implications of her words, and precisely because she understood them, Ming Wei felt an escalating sense of sorrow. She desperately wanted to retract her statement, yet she found herself unable to... indeed, she was incapable of taking back what she had said.

It was not a matter of her unwillingness, but rather an absolute impossibility!

"Have you made your decision?"

Kang Li fully grasped that the young girl was inherently stubborn and could not be easily swayed with mere words. After all, unless her deep-seated anxieties were completely allayed, there would be little need for extensive persuasion; the young girl would inevitably follow her home.

"Yes," Ming Wei confirmed with a nod.

Feng Lu then directed a triumphant gaze towards Kang Li. As their eyes met, Feng Lu's triumph intensified into open provocation.

However, Kang Li remained utterly unfazed. She playfully pinched the woolen pom-pom on Ming Wei's hat. "Then please wait a moment." Turning, Kang Li walked towards a police officer. "Officer, might I trouble you to lend me your duty..."

Before Kang Li could fully articulate her request, she observed Mrs. Qi being urgently escorted by an aunt towards the courtyard entrance.

"Godmother!"

Smiling warmly as Mrs. Qi approached, Kang Li offered her support. "A woman has come forward claiming to be Ming Wei's biological mother, and Ming Wei insists upon this claim, wishing to go with her. Could you possibly assist me in verifying whether this woman is Luo Yanqing's former wife?"

Pausing briefly, Kang Li added, "Prior to my marriage to Luo Yanqing, I recall hearing that his ex-wife had tragically passed away during the childbirth of my Ming Han and Ming Wei."

Mrs. Qi gently patted Kang Li's hand and began to speak reassuringly, "I am aware of the situation unfolding at the gate; please, remain calm."
