"It’s been only two or three years since we’ve last t, you’ve beco quite stylish!"
"No different from before."
The woman speaking to Kang Li was an acquaintance, well, she was actually the mistress of the Xue Family living next door to Kang Li’s house.
"I think the car is pretty big, just like the hat on your head. It looks odd, but it really suits you!" Fang Ju glanced at the beret on Kang Li’s head, suddenly thought of sothing, and asked, "Why haven’t I seen the three kids you had?"
"They’re playing at their great-grandfather’s house."
Kang Li responded to Fang Ju, then turned her gaze to Min Rui: "Do you know where Vivi went?" Seeing Min Rui nod, Kang Li said, "Get in the car, let’s go see."
"I want to go too."
Ming Han looked at Kang Li with hopeful eyes.
"Stay ho with Grandma and Grandpa, Mommy and your big brother will bring Vivi back soon." Hearing Kang Li say this, Ming Han pouted, and seeing that, Kang Li’s eyes softened: "Be good."
Thinking this, Fang Ju chuckled awkwardly and lowered her voice to speak to Cai Xiufen: "That woman’s surna is Feng, she’s no good, Auntie, rest assured, as long as Ming Wei isn’t foolish, she will definitely return with Xiao Kang."
Cai Xiufen said nothing.
Fang Ju lowered her voice again: "Back then everyone in our courtyard knew that woman died of difficult labor, now it seems there’s sothing hidden, Auntie, tell Xiao Kang, let him ask Professor Luo well, as long as that woman isn’t right, she can’t expect to pick peaches now!"
"You’re right."
Cai Xiufen nodded.
Seeing that Cai Xiufen listened, Fang Ju couldn’t help but continue: "Auntie, you don’t know, after that woman gave birth to Min Rui, I often heard Ruirui crying at ho, what else could the child cry for?
Either hungry or soiled themselves, but that Feng woman only cared about spending money to dress herself, didn’t care about the child at all, often being gossiped about by people in the courtyard.
In my opinion, she’s not even a strand of Xiao Kang’s hair, besides, Min Rui and his siblings can say were raised by Xiao Kang and Auntie, with the kids’ love for Xiao Kang, Feng wants to fool them away, impossible!"
"Vivi left with her."
Hearing Cai Xiufen say this, Fang Ju felt a bit embarrassed, but quickly regained her composure and softly said: "I think Ming Wei wasn’t very willing to leave with her biological mom, just don’t know what that Feng woman said to the child, making her have to go along."
Two or three ters behind Fang Ju and Cai Xiufen, Su Man walked with a woman of similar age, and had witnessed the whole process of Feng Lu coming to pick up Ming Wei at the courtyard gate.
This woman was chatting with Su Man about the funny interactions between Feng Lu, Kang Li, and Luo Yanqing.
"From today, our courtyard will be lively!"
"Sister Qin, when I moved into our courtyard, I heard that Professor Luo’s forr wife died of childbirth, now it’s been over ten years, and the deceased suddenly cos back alive, isn’t it weird?"
This was Fang Ju’s voice.
"What’s weird about it?! There must be dirty tricks hidden inside."
Her gaze fell on Cai Xiufen and Captain Kang, Feng Lu looked cold and impatient.
"Why do you say my Vivi is your daughter? Madam, as I’ve said, Vivi can’t leave with you. If you keep insisting, don’t bla us for calling the cops to handle this!"
Cai Xiufen glared at Feng Lu, with no friendly expression for her either.
Who’s afraid of whom?
At the courtyard gate, there stood a guard not far away, she wasn’t worried about being at a disadvantage.
"I’m Luo Mingrui’s biological mom, here to take my daughter Ming Wei; isn’t that reason sufficient enough?"
Originally not wanting to reveal her identity here, but being surrounded like a monkey made her uncomfortable, now that she stated her identity, let’s see what reason this old hag has to stop her.
Suddenly, a woman watching the commotion slapped her thigh: "Oh, I rembered!" She approached Feng Lu with incredulous eyes: "You’re Professor Luo’s forr wife, nad... Feng Lu, right?"
Seeing Feng Lu not deny, this woman’s face turned peculiar: "Are you human or ghost? I rember very clearly that Professor Luo’s forr wife died of childbirth when delivering his twin, yet you show up now, what’s going on?"
"Aunt Wang, are you mistaken? Could this person be a swindler? Impersonating Professor Luo’s deceased wife to take away his daughter?"
"I just thought her eyes looked familiar, if she hadn’t declared her identity, I wouldn’t have connected her to Professor Luo’s forr wife."
As her identity was revealed, people started talking all sorts; Feng Lu beca more impatient, looked toward Ming Wei: "Co here, mommy has a few words for you, if you don’t want to leave with mommy after hearing, mommy won’t force you."
Ming Wei glanced at Cai Xiufen, then looked at the hand Cai Xiufen was holding.
Understanding her intention, Cai Xiufen was silent for a mont, then released Ming Wei.
Unexpectedly, after Feng Lu whispered two words to Ming Wei, she imdiately extended her hand to Feng Lu, saying to Cai Xiufen and Captain Kang: "I want to go with my mom."
"Who do you want to go with?"
A black sedan slowly stopped at the courtyard entrance, along with a voice exceedingly familiar to Cai Xiufen, Captain Kang, and Min Rui ca from the car window. The next mont, a driver in a black suit exited the vehicle and respectfully opened a rear door.
Unquestionably, the voice’s owner was Kang Li; she alighted and looked at Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen: "Dad, Mom, I’m back."
"I heard the aunties at the courtyard gate talk, Professor Luo’s forr wife wasn’t good. She just spent her days dressing herself, neither taking good care of kids at ho nor working well, her eyes seed to be on her head, not an easy person to deal with."
"Sister Qin, from what you say, it seems you have a very good impression of Professor Luo’s later wife?"
As if casually asking, Su Man felt both angry and frustrated inside.
She thought she’d built a closeness with Qin Fang over the years, believing they had similar views on so matters. But based on what Qin Fang stated, Su Man felt she was indeed wrong!
"It’s not about having a good impression of Comrade Kang, but Comrade Kang really is good. Setting other things aside, Comrade Kang is extrely beautiful, completely without arrogance, always smiling when talking to anyone,
moreover Comrade Kang is very smart, has great taste in daily attire, as a fellow woman, I truly admire her. If there’s a chance to befriend Comrade Kang, I’ll surely ask her about skincare tips and clothing matching."
Su Man said nothing.
Qin Fang continued speaking: "Kang Comrade’s outfit today, I wish to replicate for myself, maybe even curl my hair into the sa waves as Kang Comrade, stepping out would certainly be very different from now."
