Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1409: Chapter 1235:

”Mom, do you have something you want to ask me?”

Sitting beside Kang Li, Ming Wei blinked and tilted her head to look at Kang Li.

”Our Vivi is really smart!”

Kang Li praised the girl, tucking the stray hair falling on Ming Wei’s forehead behind her ear. Seeing the girl’s slightly blushing cheeks, she couldn’t help but laugh: ”What’s wrong? Are you embarrassed because Mom praised you?”

”...Yeah.” Ming Wei nodded with a flushed face: ”I’m not a little kid anymore.”

”When a mom praises her children, age doesn’t matter. Besides, in Mom’s eyes, our Vivi will always be a little girl.” Kang Li’s voice was gentle, and her bright eyes were filled with smiles. She said, ”These past two months, you’ve often been frowning. Do you want to tell Mom if something difficult happened at school, or if you were bullied by classmates?”

Ming Wei shook her head.

”No? Then why is that?”

Kang Li was puzzled, ”Tell me, maybe Mom can help you.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Wei pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment before speaking, ”Lately, Han Qian’s eyes have been looking at me strangely, but she hasn’t caused trouble or talked behind my back with other classmates.”

”Han Qian?” Kang Li was momentarily stunned, quickly saying, ”Is it the girl from your biological mother’s family?”

Ming Wei nodded, ”Yeah.”

Kang Li asked, ”What’s strange about the way she looks at you?”

”Scrutinizing, probing. I feel like she’s scrutinizing me and exploring something about me.”

At this point, Ming Wei also said, ”And her academic performance suddenly improved a lot, as if she was holding back before.

But I’ve known her since kindergarten, through elementary school to middle school, and I know how she’s done academically. Yet, for two consecutive monthly exams, Han Qian’s grades were among the top in the year, and her foreign language speaking skills are also quite good.”

Kang Li: ”Perhaps she put in effort studying before the monthly exams.” Although saying this, Kang Li thought to herself that the change in Han Qian and the way she looked at Ming Wei was peculiar.

Thinking deeper, Kang Li mused that maybe that girl Han Qian’s situation was similar to hers, like having a new core inside the body.

But, without evidence, she couldn’t just say anything recklessly.

”Mom makes a good point.”

Ming Wei thought for a moment, then still nodded, agreeing with Kang Li’s words.

An abrupt improvement in academic performance, and since there was no cheating in the exams, it could only mean hard work was done behind the scenes, but... Why did Han Qian watch her with such scrutinizing eyes and try to explore her?

Also, why did Han Qian change her attitude toward Xiao Ran?

Thinking this way, Ming Wei couldn’t hold it in and voiced her thoughts, ”Mom, you know that Xiao Ran and I are good friends.”

Kang Li puzzled, ”Right, you two have been good friends since kindergarten. Mom knows very well; after all, Mom is also good friends with your Aunt Wu Yue! But you seem to have more to say, am I wrong?”

”Yeah.” Ming Wei smiled embarrassedly and continued, ”All the classmates in class know that Xiao Ran and I are good friends, and they know our relationship with Han Qian is just average.

Put simply, Xiao Ran and I never actively played with Han Qian, but in the past two months, Han Qian has often been kind to Xiao Ran, even asking during breaks if she wanted to go to the bathroom together,

Even if Xiao Ran ignored her, she wouldn’t get mad, saying she liked being friends with Xiao Ran, saying she wanted to be good sisters with Xiao Ran.”

”Is that strange?”

Friendships between young girls can sometimes form quickly, such as finding similar interests or suddenly feeling a good impression of each other, yet somehow, Kang Li felt that after hearing what Ming Wei said, Han Qian was increasingly peculiar.

And this peculiarity seemed to be aimed deliberately at Ming Wei and Song Xiaoran, those two little girls.

Indeed, the Xiao Ran Ming Wei mentioned was the same little friend Song Xiaoran that has been close with Ming Wei since preschool, who is also Kang Li’s good friend Wu Yue’s daughter.

”Mom, before that woman came looking for me and my second brother, Han Qian’s hostility towards Xiao Ran was greater than it was towards me.”

Ming Wei looked serious: ”To put it simply, she didn’t talk to me much, but if she met Xiao Ran’s eyes, she would either snort or glare,

If she saw Xiao Ran wearing new clothes or a new hair accessory, she would also wear new clothes and a new hair accessory the next day and particularly like showing off in front of Xiao Ran.”

”It seems like that girl from your biological mother’s family likes to compare herself to Xiao Ran.”

Kang Li nodded thoughtfully, after a moment, she said, ”Never mind any changes Han Qian has, you just remember to study hard and mind your own business. On Monday, tell Xiao Ran not to get too close to Han Qian, hmm? Also, be cautious so you don’t end up being sold and counting money for the seller.”
