Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1350 - 1219_3

"That’s right."

Cai Xiufen agreed with the statement.

Noticing Cai Xiufen was paying attention, Fang Ju couldn’t help but continue her words, "Cousin, you might not realize, but ever since that woman gave birth to Min Rui, I often heard Ruirui crying loudly at home. What else could a child possibly cry for?"

"It’s either hunger or a wet diaper, yet that Feng woman spends her days indulging in shopping and adorning herself, completely neglecting the child. The neighbors in the courtyard gossip constantly about it."

"In any case, from my perspective, she can’t even compare to a single strand of Xiao Kang’s hair. Furthermore, Min Rui and his siblings were practically raised by Xiao Kang and you, Cousin. Considering the deep affection the three children have for Xiao Kang, there’s no way that Feng woman can simply take them away!"

"Vivi has departed with her."

Upon hearing Cai Xiufen’s words, Fang Ju felt a momentary awkwardness. However, she quickly reverted to her usual demeanor, whispering, "I did notice that Ming Wei seemed rather unwilling to leave with her mother. It remains a mystery what that Feng woman might have said to persuade the child to go with her."

Behind Fang Ju and Cai Xiufen, approximately two to three meters away, Su Man was walking alongside another woman of a similar age. They too had observed Feng Lu arriving to pick up Ming Wei at the courtyard entrance.

The woman was engaged in a discussion with Su Man regarding Feng Lu, Kang Li, and Luo Yanqing.

"There’s quite a bit of excitement happening in our courtyard today!"

"Sister Qin, when I first moved into our courtyard, I heard that the wife Professor Luo married previously passed away during childbirth. Now, after more than a decade, for this deceased person to suddenly reappear, doesn’t that strike you as peculiar?"

This was Fang Ju’s voice.

"What’s so strange about it?! All sorts of unpleasantness are often hidden beneath the surface."

The woman whom Su Man addressed as Sister Qin was Qin Fang, the spouse of a research fellow who remained at home full-time to manage the household and children. Consequently, much like Su Man at that moment, she was currently unemployed. She pursed her lips and remarked,

"I heard from some of the elder ladies at the courtyard entrance earlier that the former wife Professor Luo married was quite unsatisfactory. She apparently only concerned herself with dressing up all day, failed to properly care for the children at home, or perform her duties diligently. Her demeanor suggested arrogance, and she wasn't someone easily approachable."

"Sister Qin, based on your description, it appears you hold a favorable impression of the person Professor Luo married later on?"

Although she posed the question casually, Su Man felt a surge of annoyance and frustration internally.

She had genuinely believed that she had fostered a close relationship with Qin Fang over the past two years and was convinced they shared similar perspectives on certain matters. However, Qin Fang’s recent remarks made Su Man realize the inaccuracy of her assumption!

"It’s not precisely that I have a good impression of Comrade Kang, but rather that she genuinely is an excellent person. Setting aside other aspects, Comrade Kang possesses striking beauty yet maintains an approachable demeanor, always offering a smile when conversing with others."

"Moreover, Comrade Kang is intelligent and demonstrates excellent taste in her daily attire. As a fellow woman, I truly admire her. If the opportunity arose to become friends with her, I would certainly wish to seek her advice on skincare and fashion coordination."

Su Man remained silent.

Qin Fang continued speaking on her own initiative, "I aspire to acquire an outfit similar to Comrade Kang’s today, and perhaps style my hair into those lovely waves she has. Stepping out the door, I am confident I would present a significantly different appearance."

Today, Kang Li was attired in a beige wool coat reaching her knees, complemented by a pristine white sweater worn underneath, a knee-length wool skirt, pure black fleece-lined leggings, and tall boots.

Suddenly, exclamations began to ring out.

Kang Li turned her head to witness her parents and Brother Ming Rui rushing towards the roadside. Meanwhile, Ming Wei was already boarding a black vehicle with her mother. As her father, mother, and Ming Rui hurried towards the car, it suddenly accelerated and drove away.

Kang Li did not appear overly distressed, having already noted down the vehicle's license plate number.

"Don’t fret, I clearly saw the woman’s face. Although more than a decade has passed, her appearance hasn't altered significantly; she is indeed the one Yanqing was previously married to."

In Mrs. Qi’s judgment, having confirmed Feng Lu’s identity, she saw no need to overly concern herself with Ming Wei’s safety.

The underlying reason?

The saying goes: the monk may escape, but the temple remains. (Meaning: the person can disappear, but their connections and origins are known.)

Feng Lu hailed from the Feng family. With the Feng family’s influence and presence, locating Feng Lu would not be a difficult task. Furthermore, the very fact that Ming Wei was able to leave with Feng Lu indicated that the girl had indeed met her mother before.

Additionally, if Feng Lu could re-establish contact with Ming Wei after ten years, how could she possibly fail to reach out to Brother Ming Rui as well? Ming Rui was now a grown boy and might possess more information than the twins!

"Are you Xiao Kang?"

"Yes, it is I, sister."
