Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1351 - 1219:

"It feels like only two or three years have passed since we last met, yet you've become so fashionable!"

"No different than before."

The woman addressing Kang Li was someone she knew—in fact, she was the mistress of the Xue Family, residing next door to Kang Li's residence.

"I find that car quite grand, much like the hat perched atop your head. It looks unconventional, but it suits you perfectly!" Fang Ju's gaze landed on the beret Kang Li wore. Suddenly inspired, she inquired, "Where are the three children you have? I haven't seen them."

"They are currently playing at their great-grandfather's home," Kang Li replied to Fang Ju. She then shifted her attention to Min Rui. "Do you know where Vivi has gone?" Upon seeing Min Rui nod, Kang Li announced, "Get in the car, let's go find her."

"I want to go too," Ming Han expressed, looking at Kang Li with eager eyes.

"Stay home with Grandma and Grandpa. Mommy and your older brother will bring Vivi back shortly." Hearing Kang Li's words, Ming Han's lips turned into a pout. Noticing this, Kang Li's expression softened. "Be a good boy," she encouraged.

With this thought in mind, Fang Ju let out an awkward chuckle and lowered her voice as she spoke to Cai Xiufen. "That woman's surname is Feng. She's not a good person, Auntie. Rest assured, as long as Ming Wei isn't easily fooled, she will definitely return with Xiao Kang."

Cai Xiufen remained silent.

Fang Ju lowered her voice further. "Everyone in our courtyard knew that woman passed away during a difficult childbirth back then. Now, it appears there's something suspicious going on. Auntie, please tell Xiao Kang to question Professor Luo thoroughly. As long as that woman is not legitimate, she shouldn't expect to claim what isn't hers!"

"You speak the truth," Cai Xiufen affirmed, nodding her head.

Seeing that Cai Xiufen was receptive, Fang Ju couldn't help but continue her gossip. "Auntie, you have no idea; after that woman gave birth to Min Rui, I often heard Ruirui crying inconsolably at home. What else could a child cry for? Either hunger or a soiled diaper. Yet, that Feng woman only cared about spending money on her attire and paid no attention to the child at all. She was constantly the subject of gossip among the courtyard residents. In my estimation, she isn't even worth a single hair of Xiao Kang's. Moreover, Min Rui and his siblings were practically raised by Xiao Kang and Auntie. With the children's affection for Xiao Kang, there's no way Feng can easily lure them away!"

"Vivi left with her," Cai Xiufen stated.

Upon hearing Cai Xiufen's words, Fang Ju felt a twinge of embarrassment but quickly regained her composure. She softly remarked, "I don't think Ming Wei was particularly willing to leave with her biological mother. I wonder what that Feng woman said to the child to make her go along with it."

About two or three meters behind Fang Ju and Cai Xiufen, Su Man was walking alongside a woman of similar age. They had observed the entire scene of Feng Lu arriving to pick up Ming Wei at the courtyard gate. This woman was currently discussing with Su Man the amusing interaction between Feng Lu, Kang Li, and Luo Yanqing.

"From this day forward, our courtyard is bound to become quite lively!"

"Sister Qin, when I first moved into our courtyard, I heard that Professor Luo's former wife tragically passed away during childbirth. It's been over a decade now, and for the deceased to suddenly reappear alive—isn't that rather peculiar?" This was Fang Ju's voice, echoing from a distance.

"What's peculiar about it?! There must be some deceitful scheme hidden within," the woman responded curtly. Her gaze then settled on Cai Xiufen and Captain Kang. Feng Lu appeared cold and impatient.

"Why do you claim my Vivi is your daughter? Madam, as I've already stated, Vivi cannot leave with you. If you persist, don't hold us accountable for calling the authorities to resolve this matter!" Cai Xiufen glared at Feng Lu, her expression devoid of any warmth.

Who was afraid of whom? A guard stood nearby at the courtyard gate, so Cai Xiufen wasn't concerned about being at a disadvantage.

"I am Luo Mingrui's biological mother, and I am here to take my daughter, Ming Wei. Isn't that reason alone sufficient?" Feng Lu, who had initially preferred not to reveal her identity publicly, felt uncomfortable being cornered like an exhibit. Now that she had announced who she was, she wondered what excuse this old crone had left to prevent her from leaving.

Suddenly, a woman from the onlookers clapped her thigh. "Oh, I remember now!" she exclaimed, approaching Feng Lu with a look of disbelief. "You are Professor Luo's former wife, isn't your name... Feng Lu?"

Seeing that Feng Lu did not deny it, the woman's expression shifted to one of bewilderment. "Are you a human or a ghost? I distinctly recall Professor Luo's former wife dying during childbirth when delivering his twins. Yet, here you are now—what is going on?"

"Aunt Wang, are you quite sure? Could this individual be a fraud? Perhaps impersonating Professor Luo's deceased wife to abduct his daughter?"

"I merely thought her eyes looked familiar. If she hadn't announced her identity, I wouldn't have connected her to Professor Luo's former wife at all."

With her true identity now known, whispers filled the air, causing Feng Lu to grow increasingly restless. She turned her gaze to Ming Wei, saying, "Come here, Mommy has a few words for you. If you still don't wish to leave with Mommy after hearing them, Mommy won't force you."

Ming Wei cast a look at Cai Xiufen before her eyes settled on the hand Cai Xiufen was holding.

Sensing Ming Wei's unspoken request, Cai Xiufen paused for a moment before releasing her grasp.

To everyone's surprise, after Feng Lu uttered a couple of words to Ming Wei, the girl immediately reached out to Feng Lu. Addressing Cai Xiufen and Captain Kang, Ming Wei declared, "I want to go with my mom."

"Who do you want to go with?"

A sleek black sedan glided to a stop at the entrance of the courtyard, accompanied by a voice that was unmistakably familiar to Cai Xiufen, Captain Kang, and Min Rui. The next instant, a chauffeur in a sharp black suit emerged from the vehicle and respectfully opened a rear door.

The owner of the voice was, without a doubt, Kang Li. She gracefully stepped out and addressed Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen, "Dad, Mom, I am back."

"I overheard the aunties at the courtyard gate discussing things. They said Professor Luo’s first wife wasn't a good person. She only focused on her appearance, neglected the children, and didn't manage the household well. It seemed like she considered herself superior to everyone else, definitely not someone easy to get along with."

"Sister Qin, judging by your words, it appears you hold Professor Luo’s current wife in high regard?"

Su Man's question, though seemingly casual, concealed a storm of anger and frustration within her.

She had genuinely believed that over the years, she had cultivated a close bond with Qin Fang, sharing similar perspectives on certain matters. However, Qin Fang's current assessment made Su Man realize she had been mistaken!

"It's not merely a matter of having a good impression of Comrade Kang. Comrade Kang is genuinely an exceptional person. Putting other things aside, Comrade Kang is remarkably beautiful, completely devoid of arrogance, and always greets everyone with a smile.

Furthermore, Comrade Kang is incredibly intelligent and possesses impeccable taste in her daily attire. As a fellow woman, I truly admire her. Should the opportunity arise to become friends with Comrade Kang, I would certainly seek her advice on skincare and fashion."

Su Man remained silent.

Qin Fang continued, "Comrade Kang's outfit today is something I wish to emulate. Perhaps I'll even get my hair curled into the same soft waves as Comrade Kang's. Stepping out like that would certainly make a world of difference from how I am now."
