Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1568: Chapter 1274:

She felt out of place in this kitchen, in other words, she found it difficult to fit into the current atmosphere. And this person was none other than Kang Guoan’s wife, Wang Pan.

"Fifth Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"

Kang Li noticed Wang Pan standing aside with a strange smile on her face, and couldn’t help but ask out of concern. Yet, contrary to her expectations, Wang Pan instantly reacted as if on edge: "You’re hoping I get sick." She stated it flatly.

Hearing this, Kang Li was first taken aback, then looked puzzled: "Why would you say that, Fifth Sister-in-law?"

"It’s New Year’s Eve today, and you’re asking if I’m feeling unwell. Isn’t that hoping I get sick?" Wang Pan didn’t intend to say this, but once her mouth opened, she couldn’t seem to control the words that offended others.

The smile on Kang Li’s lips gradually faded, and she said, "Fifth Sister-in-law, I was just concerned about you."

"I don’t need it!"

Wang Pan’s tone was cold, as if Kang Li owed her something.

"Fine, it’s my fault for meddling. I’m sorry."

Due to the fact that this was Kang Guoan’s wife and a former classmate, Kang Li eventually backed down.

Not saying another word, Wang Pan, however, didn’t appreciate it: "I don’t need it." With that, she walked out toward the kitchen door without looking at anyone else.

"Aunt Rourou, aren’t you being a bit too much?"

Yan Rou’s face turned cold instantly. She was usually gentle, but she wouldn’t allow anyone to be so rude to Kang Li. Even if the other party was her elder, she couldn’t tolerate it. Sure enough, Yan Rou stepped in front of Wang Pan, stared at her and said word by word:

"Everyone’s smiling, but your smile looks like someone put a knife to your throat. My aunt thought you were unwell, and asked out of kindness. If you don’t appreciate it, fine, but is it necessary to lash out at her?"

"How I smile is my business. What’s it got to do with anyone else?" Wang Pan’s eyes flashed with anger: "Look carefully, I’m your Fifth Aunt, your elder. Do I need your criticism here?"

"What kind of elder are you? Ever since you married my uncle, have you ever considered yourself part of the Kang Family, as my grandparents’ daughter-in-law?

Not to mention seeing a genuine smile from you in front of the family, even in front of my grandparents, you haven’t.

Why is that? Was it my uncle who begged to marry you, or do you think our Kang Family owes you something? Or does the whole Kang Family, young and old, not meet your standards?"

Yan Rou didn’t back down at all, speaking coldly.

"You stop talking nonsense!" Wang Pan raised her hand, intending to slap Yan Rou, but Kang Li grabbed her wrist firmly: "If you have a problem with me, just say it, there’s no need to glare at me like that."

Releasing Wang Pan’s hand, Kang Li pulled Yan Rou behind her: "I don’t believe I’ve done anything to offend you, so if you’re upset with me, then just say it."

"You insisted I say it."

Wang Pan snorted coldly before speaking: "Why does everyone in the family have to revolve around you? Are you the only treasure here, while everyone else is just grass?"

"Fifth sister-in-law, what’s that supposed to mean? Our whole family spoils Li Bao, how does that affect you?"

Elder sister-in-law Kang looked displeased: "Let me say, not a word from my third sister-in-law was wrong earlier. The way you carry yourself around here, what part of it resembles the demeanor of an elder? Where do you show respect to Mom and Dad?"

"Indeed, Fifth Sister-in-law, Li Bao has been pampered by our family since childhood. If you don’t want to pamper Li Bao, we never forced you, nor said anything to you about it. Do you have to act so strange towards Li Bao today?"

Second Brother Kang’s Wife’s face was even colder than Wang Pan’s.

"Alright, big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, both of you say less. This is between me and Fifth Sister-in-law. You all get busy, and I’ll go talk outside with Fifth Sister-in-law."

Kang Li tried to placate Elder Sister-in-law Kang and Second Brother Kang’s Wife, then soothed Yan Rou: "It’s not a big deal, don’t get all worked up. Come on, let’s not get upset anymore."

"Auntie..."

Reliance on Kang Li overflowed in Yan Rou’s eyes.

"It’s okay, Auntie’s fine. Today is New Year’s Eve, we should be happy, don’t keep a long face." Kang Li’s expression softened, and she gave Yan Rou a bright smile: "Smile more, and you’ll feel better."

"I have nothing to discuss with you."

Wang Pan’s face was still sullen, and she didn’t take the opportunity to back down given by Kang Li. She snorted again and left the kitchen.
