Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 321: Chapter 321 Lonely Old Lady

Without any hesitation, she took out a tablet of medicine and placed it into the old woman’s mouth, watching as she swallowed it.

When the elderly woman’s body had recovered, she held onto Kang Li’s hand and did not let go for a long time.

She said her surname was Yu, and the name carved on the tombstone was her younger brother’s.

She also said she had a younger brother and a sister, but now among the three siblings, she was the only one still alive.

The old woman talked a lot about herself and her siblings and asked for Kang Li’s name, expressing her desire to properly repay Kang Li for saving her life.

Of course, Kang Li responded that it was not necessary.

However, the old lady seemed rather stubborn, insisting on knowing where Kang Li lived; otherwise, she would just keep looking at her like a child, silent and with a look of grievance.

Having no choice, Kang Li could only give her the address.

But who could tell her why Grandma Yu would come to find her on New Year’s Eve, and especially at this time?

Hadn’t the old woman considered that Kang Li’s family would be worried?

”Grandma Yu!”

As she walked out of the courtyard, Kang Li looked in the direction Dwen Dwen had indicated and saw Old Lady Yu leaning against a tree trunk about a meter away from the courtyard wall, clutching her chest with one hand and holding a bamboo basket with the other, appearing to be in poor condition.

Quickly approaching, Kang Li hurried to support her, ”Grandma Yu, you...” Upon seeing Kang Li, Old Lady Yu’s spirits lifted significantly, and even her slightly cloudy eyes brightened considerably. She handed the bamboo basket she was carrying on her arm to Kang Li, ”Child, this is for you.”

”Grandma Yu, did you come all this way just to bring me something?” While it was a question, Kang Li was already sure of the answer. Besides, if Old Lady Yu had not come to deliver something, why would she have traveled all the way to their research institute’s courtyard?

Even if there were buses to take, considering the home address Old Lady Yu had previously shared, coming to their courtyard would take at least thirty minutes.

”Your body isn’t well, and going out alone at this time, your family will definitely be worried. How about this, why don’t you come and sit at my place first, then I can call your family, and I’ll wait with you...”

Gently patting Kang Li’s hand, Old Lady Yu looked tenderly at her and shook her head lightly, ”Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

”But going out alone like this, your family will surely be worried, especially since today is New Year’s Eve.”

Carrying the bamboo basket for Old Lady Yu, the concern in Kang Li’s eyes was unmistakable.

”I forgot to mention, although I am married, my husband left me many years ago with other family members. Since then, in my home, besides me, an old widow, there remains only my faithful servant, who I have had by my side since before my marriage. Wait, it’s a new society now; we can’t still be using ’servant’ to define someone’s identity.”

Pausing for a moment, Old Lady Yu continued, ”Child, I informed Old Xiao before I left. He knows I was coming to bring you something. Don’t worry about it.”

Old Xiao, as referred to by Old Lady Yu, was originally her servant, who had fallen in love with the young lady of the house since his youth. However, knowing his humble status, he had always kept to his place, harboring his feelings deep inside.

After the young lady married and went with her family to serve in her husband’s household, he never married, just quietly staying by the young lady’s side, even after the liberation without ever leaving his master.

However, there were some changes in his status—recognized as a distant relative of Miss Yu, also known as Old Lady Yu,
