Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1206

After listening to Jiang Hongfa’s words, Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen didn’t say a word. The two of them almost simultaneously stood up, without even looking at Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya, and walked out of the study.

Luo Yanqing followed behind them.

"Li Bao’s parents, they..."

Looking at the empty study doorway, Jiang Hongfa came back to his senses and turned his gaze to Jiang Boya. He couldn’t quite figure out what Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen meant.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Boya shook his head: "I don’t know either." He didn’t know what those two were thinking.

The father and son sat in the study, neither of them speaking for a while.

Meanwhile, in the guest room where Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen were staying, Luo Yanqing was being watched intently by the two. After a long pause, Cai Xiufen spoke:

"Li Bao is indeed not biologically ours. Back then, when I was pregnant with her younger brother and nearing delivery, my pregnancy condition wasn’t very good. To avoid complications, I went to the town clinic to await delivery...

After quite a bit of trouble, perhaps because my luck is relatively good, I eventually gave birth to her younger brother safely. Originally, Li Bao’s father and I were thinking of getting discharged that day, but the doctor said my body still needed observation,

and advised me to wait until the next day after a check-up to see if everything was fine before leaving, so I stayed at the clinic for an extra day. And it was in the latter half of that night that I heard a woman crying and screaming while going into labor, until the sky began to lighten, then there was no more sound."

After pausing for a moment, Cai Xiufen continued: "And Li Bao... was the one I found at that time. I was woken by an urgent need to use the bathroom, and when I was about to leave, I heard a weak baby cry like a cat from the trash can in the corner of the bathroom, intermittent and pitiful.

My heart tightened, and without much thought, I walked towards the trash can and took a look, I immediately saw a small baby wrapped casually in a tattered bundle, crying almost breathlessly.

At that moment, I felt so heartbroken that I picked up the little one and went back to the ward. As there was no movement from anyone walking through the bathroom and the hallway, no one knew I picked up a baby from the bathroom.

But as upright people, we can’t secretly bring the child home just because no one saw it.

So, I asked the doctor on duty and was informed that the clinic had received a pregnant woman in the middle of the night. Since she had no family with her,

to avoid any life-threatening situation, the clinic staff quickly helped her into the delivery room to assist with the birth. But none of them expected that upon learning she had given birth to a sickly baby girl,

her face immediately fell, and she started cursing. Then, the doctors informed her that the child needed careful nurturing, otherwise she could easily die young.

The young woman agreed verbally, but when the nurse tried to send her to the ward, she said she could go herself. Yet, when the nurse later went to check the ward, the young woman was nowhere to be found.

After hearing my account, the doctor and nurse on duty concluded that the baby I had picked up from the bathroom trash can was abandoned by that young woman,

and in most people’s eyes, baby girls were worthless. Some people, let alone abandon them, even when their daughter is born they would suffocate or drown them.

But I loved that child; I even felt she was a gift from Heaven. So I begged the doctor and nurse on duty, saying I had given birth to twins with mixed sex.

Thus, Li Bao and her younger brother became siblings. This matter, aside from me and your father-in-law, the doctor who delivered my baby, and that nurse, no one else knew.

I believe you can see that whether it was me, your father-in-law, or other family members, we truly loved Li Bao, cherished her. Let me put it this way, before Li Bao married you, we never let her do anything, just worried something might happen to her.

After all, Li Bao was weak when she was born; without diligent care, she could pass away at any time, which would be an unbearable blow for us." Wiping her eyes, Cai Xiufen asked: "Can you tell me now when Li Bao found out about her background? Her father and I never discussed this at home, let alone in front of Li Bao."

"Mother, you and father don’t need to worry, Xiao Li never thought about leaving you."

Luo Yanqing looked serious as he spoke: "What Mr. Jiang said earlier was all true. Xiao Li only found out shortly before Grandma Yu passed away, and as Grandma Yu closed her eyes,

she didn’t directly reveal her relationship with Xiao Li, she merely asked Xiao Li to call her grandma before closing her eyes. The specific understanding of her relationship with Grandma Yu came from a letter Grandpa Xiao left for Xiao Li, and inside that letter, there was a photo,
