Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Getting Straight to the Point

As for Big Brother Kang, Captain Kang arranged for him to get in touch with the master chef in charge of preparing the banquet meals, and to take Kang Yichen and Kang Yihong to the chef’s home to collect pots, dishes, cutlery, tables, and benches.

By midday, Cai Xiufen suddenly said to Kang Li, ”Tomorrow, you should wear your bright red dress.”

”Ah?”

Kang Li blinked her fox-like eyes, ”Do I have to wear it?” She wasn’t particularly fond of bright red clothing, but a week before Min Rui and the others began their summer vacation, her mother insisted she accompany her on a trip to the department store. She naturally didn’t protest.

But to her surprise, her mother dragged her straight to the women’s clothing counter, zeroed in on a bright red dress, had the sales clerk fetch her size, and promptly paid for it with money and coupons.

So this was what she had been waiting for!

Kang Li felt like crying but had no tears.

”Li Bao, your expressions are so colorful!”

Third Sister-in-Law Kang, with her pregnant belly, was teasing Kang Li on the side.

”Third Sister-in-Law!” Kang Li feigned grievance, ”I don’t want to wear a red dress.”

”Why not? Tomorrow’s banquet is essentially compensating for your own wedding celebration, your brother-in-law said it himself. Since it’s your big day, naturally you should dress more festively.”

Third Sister-in-Law Kang’s face was filled with smiles, completely unaffected by Kang Li’s pitiful act.

Cai Xiufen said, ”I hope that you and Yanqing will live a bright and prosperous life. Be good, listen to your mother, and wear that red dress tomorrow.”

Kang Li made a bitter face, ”Mom, aren’t you being a little superstitious?”

”Superstitious about what?” Cai Xiufen rolled her eyes, ”In the city or the countryside, which bride doesn’t wear red clothes when she gets married?”

”Mom, that’s where you are mistaken; not all brides in the city wear red clothes to their weddings, and in recent years, it’s been fashionable for newlywed couples to wear green uniforms on their wedding day.”

”In this hot weather, you want to wear that and not die of heat?” Rolling her eyes again, Cai Xiufen said, ”There’s no room for debate; you must wear that red dress I bought for you.”

Puffing her cheeks, Kang Li ultimately couldn’t outstubborn her mother and nodded, ”Alright, to make you happy, I promise to wear it tomorrow.”

Suddenly, Kang Yihang burst in like a little cannonball, running back from the entrance of the courtyard with his short legs. Upon seeing Kang Li, he said in his childish voice, ”Auntie, someone’s looking for you!”

Kang Li ruffled the little guy’s head and smiled, ”Do you know them?”

Kang Yihang stood up straight, confidently saying, ”I know, it’s Aunt Chunmei from the Xu family!”

Hearing this, Kang Li frowned slightly, then nodded, ”Auntie knows, you can let her in.”

”Okay!” Kang Yihang cheerfully responded and ran out of the hall.

Before long, Xu Chunmei appeared before Kang Li, ”Sister Li Bao.”

Kang Li hummed in acknowledgment and said, ”Let’s go to my room.” Xu Chunmei hurriedly nodded.

They entered the room one after another, and Kang Li looked at Xu Chunmei indifferently before getting straight to the point, ”I know why you’re here, but I’m sorry, I can’t help your Third Sister.”

”Sister Li Bao...”

Xu Chunmei was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Kang Li to be so direct, leaving her no room to maneuver.

”You’re aware of what your Third Sister has done. I’m the kind of person who takes revenge on the spot and doesn’t hold grudges long term. Since I cut off my friendship with her, her affairs have nothing to do with me anymore. What’s more, her current predicament is of her own making; she has no one else to blame. As for you, I see you as clever, so I’ll give you a piece of advice,
