Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Apology and Anxiety Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Apology and Anxiety “You think that by going to soone’s ho and laying everything out, you’ve gotten your revenge? You should know, Xiao Su’s behavior is an attack on your character, making it difficult for you to be around this courtyard!”
Kang Li’s fox-like eyes curved into crescents as she nodded, “I know.”
“Knowing that, why won’t you let go and demand an explanation for you?” Mrs. Qi glared at Kang Li, sowhat disappointed, but it was clear that her eyes held more distress and anger towards Su Man.
Kang Li consoled her, “Godmother, even if you went there yourself, you would only scold them a bit, what can you really do to them? Besides, when all is said and done, this whole affair started over idle gossip, and the other party has already apologized to . Even if the apology wasn’t heartfelt, they have openly admitted their fault, and if I continue to harp on it, it will seem like I am being unreasonably vindictive.”
Mrs. Qi: “…and that’s it?”
Kang Li: “Godmother, have you forgotten what I ntioned earlier?”
Mrs. Qi: “…” She couldn’t quite rember what Kang Li was referring to.
Kang Li blinked her fox-like eyes playfully and said, “Before going to Comrade Wen’s doorstep, didn’t I tell you that I had visited Sister-in-law Fang’s ho first, followed by the Feng family, the Gu Family, and the Song Family, one by one?”
Before Kang Li could finish her sentence, Mrs. Qi suddenly laughed, “It’s godmother who forgot! It’s a good thing you’re thorough, or else we might not have been able to handle Xiao Su.”
Kang Li: “I didn’t intend to control her, I simply clarified the situation to her face. As for what she did, whatever the courtyard turns it into is not my business.”
Mrs. Qi: “Of course, it’s not your business, she brought it on herself! Out of nothing, she slandered you, and now that the situation has turned around, whatever others say about her, she has to bear it.”
Mrs. Qi sighed and her recently relaxed brows furrowed again, “Xiao Su’s character is clearly flawed. She has been married to Comrade Wen Siyuan for less than a year and she’s already using Yueyue and the other sisters as her pawns. In the long run, who knows what she might teach the children? Especially now that she’s pregnant, in a few months when her own child is born…”
Mid-sentence, Mrs. Qi stopped talking, grasped Kang Li’s hand, and looked apologetic and worried, “Li Bao, don’t take it to heart, godmother wasn’t including you at all in what she just said.”
Kang Li smiled, “I know. You don’t have to be so careful with , godmother. I know you’re speaking about the situation, not the person. Besides, it’s very unlikely that I will have…”
Looking at the kids sitting in a row, listening to Song Xuan play the erhu, Kang Li suddenly fell silent, then after a while, she continued, “Even if I do, how I’ve treated Ruirui and the others before, I will do the sa in the future.”
Mrs. Qi patted the back of Kang Li’s hand, “Godmother knew you were good from the first ti she t you.”
Kang Li smiled, “Ruirui, Hanhan, and Vivi are very good kids, I like them a lot.”
…
One day, Loo Ping visited the Wen’s family, and seeing that it was only her and Su Man in the living room with no third person around, she couldn’t help but bring up the gossip she had heard about Su Man these past few days: “You might not be aware of this?”
Su Man: “…” What didn’t she know?
Loo Ping: “It seems you truly don’t know.”
Su Man beca more confused, “Sister Loo, can you just stop beating around the bush? If you have sothing to say, please be direct. I’m pregnant right now, and if you keep doing this…”
