Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Luo Yanqing’s Defense

Putting away her thoughts, Cai Xiufen thanked Mrs. Qi: “Sister, thank you for what you said to Li Bao just now. If Li Bao had acted impulsively and really introduced that girl to her brother, not to mention how our family would get along in the future, just for that girl’s family, our family’s face would seem too big.”

Before Mrs. Qi could respond to Cai Xiufen’s words, Kang Li’s voice, filled with apology and self-blame, rang out: “Mom, I was wrong. If you want to scold me, go ahead. It was a moment of foolishness, and my words were inappropriate…”

Luo Yanqing appeared next to Kang Li at some point, holding her hand, but his gaze fell on Cai Xiufen, protecting his little girl: “Mom, Xiao Li was not wrong. First of all, she was joking with her friend. Secondly, even if Xiao Li had that thought, what’s wrong with that?

It’s the new society now, valuing freedom in love and marriage. If through Xiao Li’s introduction, both her brother and Comrade Lin ended up liking each other, other people’s opinions don’t matter at all.

They also don’t need to care about what others think. After all, it’s the two of them living their lives together, and their union doesn’t harm others’ interests or break any laws, so it doesn’t concern anyone else!”

Sensing the tense atmosphere in the living room, Director Song laughed: “Oh please, you all just love to worry about nothing.”

This “you all” unmistakably referred to Cai Xiufen and Mrs. Qi. Director Song laughed and looked at Luo Yanqing, addressing Mrs. Qi and Cai Xiufen:

“Did you hear that clearly? Yanqing was defending Li Bao. He can’t bear to see her being wronged in the slightest. As a matter of fact, I think Yanqing is right. We’re living in a new society. If that boy Yangyang genuinely isn’t interested in that girl, and Guoan later happens to fall for her, there’s nothing inappropriate about it.

Yangyang can’t be uninterested in the girl yet still prevent Guoan from liking her, can he? Besides, didn’t Li Bao say it’s all just hypothetical? You all should stop overthinking it and making Li Bao feel like she said something wrong. I feel sorry for her watching this.”

“You just love to play the good guy!”

Mrs. Qi rolled her eyes at Director Song, saying, “I was just giving Li Bao my opinion, and after hearing her explanation, didn’t I stay silent? Look at you two, acting like only you can protect Li Bao, while my elder sister and I are made out to be the bad guys bullying Li Bao!”

Cai Xiufen looked a bit uneasy, but she still turned her gaze to Kang Li: “Was it my words that were too harsh?”

Kang Li shook her head.

Cai Xiufen: “I didn’t mean to criticize you at all. It’s just that I thought we should remain humble. Maybe I misunderstood for a moment and said those words without thinking. But it has nothing to do with you, so don’t overthink it!”

“I don’t. I didn’t think Mom said anything wrong.”

Kang Li smiled, shaking her head. She really shouldn’t have said much. Just as the call with Wu Yue was ending, she blurted out that sentence without thinking.

Luo Yanqing suddenly turned to Mother-in-law and remarked: “Mom, Li Bao has a pure heart. Whatever she says or does, it’s always for the good of the family.”

Hearing this, Kang Li widened her eyes: “Luo Yanqing!”

What the hell?

She knew he was defending her, but could he give her mother some face?

“Mom knows.”

Cai Xiufen nodded and then said: “Rest assured, Li Bao is Mom’s precious child. I’ve cherished her since she was little, and would never bear to see her wronged.”
