Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1198: Bitter Disappointment (Part 3)

From Miss Lily’s tone, Kang Li could easily tell she regretted it, but once something happens, it’s often hard to undo. Therefore, Kang Li didn’t know how to continue comforting Miss Lily at the moment.

The air around them seemed stagnant, creating a somewhat oppressive feeling.

After a while, Kang Li said, ”Since Austin has made his choice, you don’t have to be preoccupied with it anymore. Just like how a tree branches out, Austin being able to make such a decision shows he wants to achieve something on his own. As family, you should just give him your blessings.

Of course, if you still feel uneasy about it, you can also apologize to her.”

To speak of it, a month ago, Kang Li had formed an investment team, and everyone in the team was an elite, picked out by Qing Lan based on the talent information provided by System Dwen Dwen, all uncovered on foreign soil.

It’s not that Qing Lan was cheating; since there was this convenience, it would be foolish not to use it.

”After talking with you for a while, I feel much better. Thank you for being willing to listen to my complaints,” Miss Lily said, showing some embarrassment. Then, she asked, ”Do you still have family in Hua Country?”

Kang Li was first taken aback by her words, then gently nodded.

”Aren’t they coming over to be with you?” Glancing at Kang Li’s high-risen belly, Miss Lily said, ”Your due date is almost here.”

”My parents should be here soon.” More than half a month ago, Jiang Boya went to the mainland to assess the investment environment and specifically told Kang Li before leaving that he would bring Captain Kang’s parents back on the return trip.

He also promised Kang Li that he would never let slip anything in front of Captain Kang’s parents without her permission.

As for what this ”slip” refers to, it undoubtedly concerns some matters related to Kang Li’s family background.

In North City of the mainland.

”Are you Comrade Liu Jiacheng?”

Jiang Boya was led to Liu Jiacheng’s office, and even before being introduced, he instinctively fixed his gaze on Liu Jiacheng.

”Yes, I am. May I ask you...” Liu Jiacheng quickly stood up and looked at Jiang Boya. He heard Jiang Boya say, ”Hello, my surname is Jiang.” He extended his right hand, and they shook hands briefly.

”Did Lawyer Wang talk to you about this?”

Without much thought, Liu Jiacheng guessed Jiang Boya’s identity.

”Yes,” Jiang Boya smiled and nodded. Then he thanked Liu Jiancheng and gently said, ”I wonder if Comrade Liu is available now. I would like to invite you to have a meal and discuss some matters by the way.”

Liu Jiacheng said, ”Mr. Jiang, you don’t need to use formal language with me.” Saying so, Liu Jiancheng quickly tidied his desk and then said, ”Let’s go.”

But just as Liu Jiacheng and Jiang Boya were about to leave, Hao Jian suddenly stood up from the chair behind the office desk. He secretly resented this leader, Liu Jiacheng, for taking credit for his work. He quickly walked up to Jiang Boya and said, ”Mr. Jiang, I am Hao Jian. Previously, when Lawyer Wang visited the mainland to assist you, I was the one who received him. Additionally, I was also the one who took Lawyer Wang to find Comrade Fang Sumei...”

Jiang Boya frowned slightly, ”I know what you’re saying, Comrade, but I have other matters to discuss with Comrade Liu alone now. Excuse me, please.”

Hearing Jiang Boya’s words, Hao Jian was unwilling, but seeing the impatience on Jiang Boya’s face and the frowning Liu Jiacheng, the leader he couldn’t defy, he could only suppress his discontent and step aside, watching Jiang Boya and Liu Jiacheng leave the office.

His hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and Hao Jian’s expression kept changing.

This won’t do! ”This big fish,” Mr. Jiang, should have been his. No one can take it from him.

With this in mind, Hao Jian hurriedly returned to his seat and dialed Fang Su’s number. Learning that she was home, he hung up and quickly left the office.

Feng family.

Receiving Hao Jian’s call and knowing Jiang Boya had returned to the mainland, Fang Su felt both excited and resentful, pacing back and forth in the living room.

She originally wanted to ask Hao Jian a few more questions, but unexpectedly, as soon as the other party heard it was her, he exclaimed, ”Mr. Jiang has returned to the country. I’ll come to find you immediately!”

And then, the phone went silent.

”Jiang Boya... you’ve finally returned. But since you’re back, why didn’t you come to see me first?”

Fang Su’s expression was ambiguous and vague as she murmured, ”Could it be that your lawyer didn’t tell you that they found me? Or is it that you don’t want to see me? No, if you really didn’t want to see me, you wouldn’t have arranged for the lawyer to come back to find me...”
