Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1533 - 1265: Birthday Party at Jiang’s House (Part 4)
Previously on Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All...
However, in Kang Li’s view, it wasn’t really necessary.
Since little Xuanxuan invited the kids to her birthday party at home, her parents would naturally pay extra attention to the safety of all the children.
But since the second youngest in her family was worried about his younger siblings, as an open-minded mother, she didn’t stop him.
...
At the Jhiang’s home.
Xuanxuan invited about ten kids over to her house for her birthday party, but from the kindergarten class, only Guoguo, Bun and Tangyuan were invited, along with Xi Chenyu.
It wasn’t because Xi Chenyu had a good relationship with her; it was because he heard Xuanxuan say she wanted to invite the three of them, so he proactively suggested he’d come to celebrate her birthday.
Such a straightforward offer, Xuanxuan couldn’t refuse.
The reason?
After seeing the police officer dial the Jhiang’s home for identity verification, Kang Li said goodbye to the officer. As she pulled open the car door, ready to get into the driver’s seat, a familiar male voice floated into her ears.
Following the voice, Kang Li saw Jiang Boya get out of the car behind hers. She couldn’t help but close the car door and walk toward Jiang Boya, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"A week ago, Elder Xi had a minor surgery and got discharged yesterday. Your grandfather was quite restless at home, so I drove him over to pay a visit and to put him at ease."
After hearing Jiang Boya’s words, Kang Li walked to the back window, greeted Jiang Hongfa, and smiled, "I’ll drop Guoguo and the others off at the little friend’s house in just a bit. Then I’ll go see Elder Xi too." Coincidentally, she had a tin of tea and two bottles of national liquor, and two jars of malt extract in her car trunk.
The tea and national liquor were for Jiang Hongfa, the grandfather; she bought double portions when she bought them—one for the Jiang family old house and one to keep at home for her father.
As for the two jars of malt extract, one was for her mother and the other for the kids at home.
Later, when she would visit Elder Xi, not wanting to go empty-handed, she decided to use the tea and liquor for her grandfather and the malt extract for her mom and kids as the gifts for the visit.
"Are Bun and the others in the car?"
This was Jiang Hongfa’s voice.
"Yes." Kang Li nodded and smiled, "Hanhan is also here. It’s their good friend’s birthday today, and they were invited to celebrate. Hanhan was worried about Bun and the others’ safety, so he came along."
Jiang Hongfa said, "Then don’t stand here blowing in the wind; get in the car quickly. We’ll see each other at the Xi’s house later."
"Okay."
Kang Li nodded and then turned her gaze to Jiang Boya, "Dad, get in the car too."
Jiang Boya acknowledged with a hum and got into the driver’s seat.
Kang Li walked toward her car, and on the way, thanked the police officer while watching them dial the Xi family’s phone. After the officer verified Jiang Boya’s name and identity with no issues, she opened the car door, sat in the driver’s seat, started the car, and drove into the large courtyard ahead.
"Mom, was someone familiar in the car behind us?"
Ming Han, holding Guoguo, was sitting in the front passenger seat. Out of curiosity, he asked Kang Li.
"Yes." Kang Li nodded and said, "It’s your grandpa’s car. He brought your great-grandfather here to visit an elderly person."
"Mom, mom, why didn’t you let me, Second Brother, and Fourth and Fifth Brothers say hello to Grandpa and Great-grandpa?" Guoguo blinked her big glassy eyes, tilting her head to ask Kang Li.
"That was Mommy’s oversight."
Kang Li admitted her mistake.
"It’s okay, it’s not Mommy’s fault. I know Mommy didn’t want us to catch a cold, so you didn’t let us get out of the car." Guoguo, being a considerate little sweetheart, trying to comfort Kang Li worried she might feel guilty.
Kang Li was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Actually, Mommy didn’t think that far; I truly just overlooked it!" The moment she saw father Jiang Boya, she was quite surprised, but she quickly realized why he was there—it was no surprise he was visiting the Xi family.
She really forgot to tell Ming Han and the three of them to get out and say hello.
So, whatever’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong; the facts are simply facts. She didn’t need to make excuses for herself, even if it was a sweet little excuse offered by her little sweetheart—she couldn’t set a bad example for the kids.
Later, she would just simply apologize to her father and grandfather.
Guoguo looked adorably cute, "Mom, when Guoguo sees Grandpa and Great-Grandpa, I can say sorry on your behalf, okay?"
"No need, Mommy will do it herself."
Kang Li responded gently.
Following the route given by the police officer, Kang Li drove all the way to the gate of the Jhiang’s home.
"Brother Xi! Sister Xuanxuan!" Guoguo happily shouted as soon as she saw Xi Chenyu and Jhiang Xuanxuan from the car window. But then she quickly frowned, "It’s so cold outside, and Brother Xi and Sister Xuanxuan are standing there waiting for us. Mom, will they catch a cold?"
"They’ve protected themselves well, so they should be fine." After stopping the car, Kang Li opened the door. Before she could speak, Xi Chenyu and Jhiang Xuanxuan came forward and greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Kang!"
The gift box was placed on top of Guoguo’s large gift box by Tangyuan.
"This is my birthday gift for you, wishing you a happy birthday!"
Bun also presented his gift.
Kang Li and Ming Han smiled and watched from the side. At this moment, Ming Han stepped forward and said to Jhiang Xuanxuan, "Little Xuanxuan, do you need a big brother to help hold your gifts?" Although he was asking, Ming Han had already taken the three stacked gift boxes from the little girl’s hands.
"Thank you, Brother!"
Jhiang Xuanxuan was a polite little girl.
"Sister Xuanxuan, this is my Second Brother."
Guoguo introduced Ming Han to Jhiang Xuanxuan.
"Hello, Second Brother, my name is Jhiang Xuanxuan. What’s your name?"
Jhiang Xuanxuan lifted her small head, her big eyes filled with curiosity.
"Luo Minghan."
Ming Han introduced himself with a smile.
"Then I’ll call you Brother Ming Han from now on. I already know Brother Min Rui; now I know four of Little Sister Guoguo’s brothers." Xuanxuan said and then looked at Guoguo, "Little Sister Guoguo, you said you have five brothers and one sister. I’m just one brother and one sister away from knowing all of them."
Guoguo: "Right! You just haven’t met my Third Sister and Brother Xiao En yet."
"It’s cold outside. Xuanxuan, you should invite the guests inside."
Xi Chenyu reminded Xuanxuan with a serious face.
"Aunt Kang, Brother Ming Han, I apologize! Little Sister Guoguo, I apologize! Luo Mingting, Luo Mingchen, please come into my house, it’s warm inside!"
Holding Guoguo’s hand, Xuanxuan acted like a little adult, inviting Kang Li and Luo Minghan along with the three kids to enter the courtyard. At that moment, Xuanxuan’s mom came out from the living room, smiling as she greeted Kang Li, "Comrade Kang, please come in; it’s warm inside!"
Xuanxuan’s mom’s last name is Luo, and her name is Sichun. She is a gentle yet enthusiastic woman.
She knew exactly which classmates her daughter Xuanxuan had invited to the house for her birthday celebration. So, upon seeing the three kids, it wasn’t hard for her to guess Kang Li’s identity.
