Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1152: Chapter 1132

Cai Xiufen did not take the keys and house deed from Kang Li’s hand. Seeing this, Kang Li said, "Then I’ll hold onto it for you for now. After all, this courtyard was bought for you and my father, and that fact can’t be changed by anyone."

Turning her gaze towards Kang Guoan and Kang Yiyang, she added, "Little brother, don’t think too much of it. I am now able to show filial respect to my parents. Later, when you get the chance, you can buy such a courtyard in North City,

whether it’s a single or double-entry courtyard—as long as you have the money, buying it is an investment, and I can guarantee you that its value will definitely rise in the future, and by a substantial amount."

With that, Kang Li looked back at Kang Yiyang. "Trust your aunt, just remember what your aunt has said."

Kang Yiyang nodded.

Speaking of which, when Kang Li bought this double-entry courtyard, she also purchased a two-entry courtyard and a single-entry courtyard through the introduction of this courtyard’s owner. However, those two courtyards haven’t been renovated yet.

Kang Li calls this an investment.

In reality, Kang Li is indeed investing, as the future appreciation of these old courtyards is quite promising.

She’s even considering purchasing more when the right opportunity comes.

Around noon, the group returned to the big courtyard.

After a brief rest, Kang Li went to the kitchen to make lunch, with Kang Yiyang following closely behind, saying he wanted to help her.

"Aunt, what are we having for lunch?"

"Steamed cold noodles."

"Just instruct me on what to do."

"Wash the cucumbers clean and slice them into strips..."

While Kang Li spoke and busied herself, Kang Yiyang promptly set to work upon hearing her instructions.

"How are things with Lin Dan?"

"...All right!"

"You hesitated. Come on, what’s the matter?"

"Aunt..."

"Hard to say?"

"It’s nothing hard to say. Just that Lin Dan hasn’t been paying much attention to me this past week."

"Have you considered what might be the issue?"

"I can’t figure it out."

"Think carefully. Maybe it’s something that doesn’t seem significant to you but might make Lin Dan think more deeply about it."

"But I... My coursework at school is always tight. I don’t have time to do anything unrelated to studying, yet she suddenly started to get upset with me. When I asked what was wrong, she said I should know myself."

"I think Lin Dan might be jealous. Are you sure you haven’t interacted with any other girl in the past week?"

Kang Li glanced at her nephew. "Think carefully."

Kang Yiyang was silent for a while before suddenly speaking. "Could it be because..."

"Because of what?"

Kang Li asked.

"I previously met a female comrade while filming a movie. Her name is Wang Min, and she’s a good friend of Lin Dan. Lin Dan herself has mentioned that Wang Min is her confidante.

Four days ago, in the afternoon, I ran into Comrade Wang at the Medical University. She said she was looking for her cousin and didn’t expect to bump into me, so..."

"All right, you don’t need to continue. I can roughly guess why Lin Dan is upset with you."

"Huh?"

Kang Yiyang was utterly confused.

"Most likely, Lin Dan came to find you that day and inadvertently saw you and Comrade Wang Min standing together talking. Maybe your expressions or actions at that time led her to misunderstand, so she became upset with you. Meanwhile, you haven’t realized that the problem lies with you, and you wonder why Lin Dan wouldn’t be mad at you?"

"But nothing happened between me and Comrade Wang."

"That’s what you think, but in Lin Dan’s eyes, it’s different. Besides, think carefully, did Comrade Wang have any physical contact with you?"

Kang Li fixed her eyes on her straightforward nephew.

Kang Yiyang: "I did help Comrade Wang a bit..."
