Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1165: Chapter 1145

Third Brother Kang: "I’m Li Bao’s third brother, and she’s my own sister."

Looking at Kang Guoan and Third Brother Kang, Kang Guosheng couldn’t help but find it amusing: "I never said she wasn’t."

Third Brother Kang scratched his head, showing a simple smile, then said: "Second Brother, Little Wu said Li Bao and her husband bought a big house for our parents in North City and that Li Bao even had it renovated."

Upon hearing this, Kang Guosheng was startled and then turned to Kang Guoan: "Didn’t spend a small fortune, did you?" Houses in North City aren’t cheap, especially buying a big one.

"I don’t know exactly how much was spent, but I estimate at least ten to twenty thousand. Li Bao said it’s a gift from her and her husband to our parents, and that with the courtyard house, anyone in our family now has a place to stay in North City. Honestly, after seeing the house, I felt quite ashamed, like I’d been outdone by her."

"From the way you put it, do the rest of us brothers fare any better?" Kang Guoan glanced toward the kitchen and said, "Seems like Li Bao is more filial than we are. She’s planning to have our parents retire in North City!"

There was some distance between the living room and the kitchen, and Kang Li wasn’t intentionally eavesdropping on the conversation among the three brothers in the living room. So, she didn’t realize they were talking about her. At that moment, she came out of the kitchen and saw all three of them looking at her, making her feel slightly confused.

"Why is everyone looking at me?"

Blinking her clear, beautiful eyes, Kang Li’s sweet voice spilled from her lips, filled with confusion: "Do I have something dirty on my face?" She touched her face but saw nothing on her hand and couldn’t help but feel even more puzzled.

"Your face is very clean."

Kang Guosheng’s eyes were filled with amusement: "Second Brother sees you as clever and filial, just like my Li Bao."

"Huh?"

What’s going on? Why is the usually serious Second Brother suddenly showering her with compliments?

"Your third brother and little brother have been telling Second Brother, but Second Brother has long known that my sister Li Bao is the best!"

Upon hearing this, Kang Li quickly understood and awkwardly smiled: "It’s just an early graduation, nothing much. As for buying the house for our parents, it was Luo Yanqing’s idea. He said our parents have worked hard all their lives and always cared for me, so we should be more filial. Besides, it’s just a small house, nothing worth mentioning."

"Brother-in-law is a good man. How can your filial piety be nothing worth mentioning? Compared to you and your husband, I feel like I’m lacking in filial respect towards our parents."

Kang Guosheng’s words came from the heart, and upon hearing them, Kang Li replied with a smile: "How is Second Brother not filial? You can’t be with our parents due to work obligations, and our parents understand that."

"Li Bao is right." Kang Guoan turned his gaze to Kang Guosheng: "Second Brother, don’t start reflecting now, or else Third Brother and I will have to start some self-criticism too."

Kang Li chuckled: "No need for anyone to reflect. In my view, we’re all very filial. After all, our parents raised us so well. If anyone wasn’t filial, it would be such a disservice to our dear old parents!"

As she said that, Kang Li’s tone carried a hint of playfulness.

Laughter filled the living room for a moment.

...

Kang Li and the others didn’t stay long at Kang Guosheng’s house. Around four in the afternoon, Kang Guoan personally drove them back to the hotel. Before returning to base, he disregarded Kang Li’s objections and slipped a stack of money and coupons into her bag.
