Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1585: Chapter 1278:

To her surprise, Kang Li didn’t say anything; she just watched Zhou Yaqing with great interest. Seeing this, Zhou Yaqing only felt that in Kang Li’s eyes she was like a monkey being toyed with, and she couldn’t help seething inside. But her face still showed no extra emotion as she put on a lofty air and said:

"I’m especially happy to have met Luo Yanqing, because the moment I saw him, I knew I’d encountered my love. So, I hope you can divorce Luo Yanqing, set him free, which is the same as setting yourself free. That way, one day, you’ll also find a love that belongs to you. What do you think?"

Right now, even calling Luo Yanqing’s expression icy cold wouldn’t be enough; his gaze was as sharp and frigid as lightning, his whole body radiating chill. He stared fixedly at Zhou Yaqing, wishing he could strangle her on the spot so he wouldn’t have to hear another shameless word out of her mouth.

But when he met Kang Li’s gaze and saw his little girl give him a slight shake of her head, he understood... his little girl was telling him not to make any move.

On that basis, he forced himself to suppress his anger, not letting himself explode and ruin whatever his little girl wanted to do.

"So do I owe you a thank-you for rescuing me from a loveless marriage?"

Kang Li took a step closer to Zhou Yaqing, her eyes smiling, though the smile never reached their depths.

"You... what are you going to do?"

Zhou Yaqing unconsciously took a step back, but she still put on a front of not losing in momentum, arrogantly saying, "No need to thank me. I’ve always been magnanimous. As long as you go get the divorce procedures done with Luo Yanqing as soon as possible, that’s enough."

Kang Li could easily see that the other woman was strong on the outside but weak within. The corners of her lips curled into a faint arc. "You like my man that much? Want to be a pair with my man?"

Off to the side, Xi Guobang sensed that Kang Li at this moment was nothing like the harmless person she appeared to be; he even sensed danger. But since Zhou Yaqing insisted on courting death, what could he do?

After all, he had told her to go back to the room, and this woman refused. Whatever happened next could only be called something she brought on herself.

Thinking this, Xi Guobang naturally behaved the same as Luo Yanqing. The two of them didn’t say a word, just stood where they were, watching Kang Li and Zhou Yaqing, listening to the two women trade lines back and forth.

"Are your ears deaf or something? I said it so clearly, and you still need me to confirm it again and again?" Zhou Yaqing persisted in courting death. The next moment, Kang Li’s expression turned frosty, and she raised her hand and slapped her twice.

Even though she had control over her strength, under Kang Li’s two slaps, Zhou Yaqing’s face still quickly turned red and swollen.

"You hit me? What right do you have to hit me? Ah, ah, ah... you bitch, what right do you have to hit me?" When Zhou Yaqing came back to herself, she went crazy and lunged at Kang Li.

She wanted to scratch up Kang Li’s face, knock Kang Li to the ground, and then stomp on her a few times.

Could Kang Li possibly let her have her way?

The answer was clearly no.

Sure enough, before Zhou Yaqing could hurl herself at Kang Li, Kang Li casually lifted a leg and kicked her flat to the ground.

Xi Guobang was stunned speechless at the sight, and even Luo Yanqing couldn’t help being taken aback. He knew Kang Li was strong, knew she knew martial arts, knew his little girl was not someone who took losses, but the scene he’d just witnessed—Kang Li smoothly and effortlessly kicking Zhou Yaqing to the ground—still felt like an eye-opener.

So after that brief startlement, Luo Yanqing’s eyes filled with indulgence and helplessness, and faint strands of tenderness.

Meanwhile, the people in the living room, hearing the commotion in the courtyard, came out in curiosity; quite a few of them walked out.

"Go on, who’s the bitch?"

Kang Li didn’t bother with the various gazes falling on her. Before Zhou Yaqing could get up from the ground, she walked over, squatted down beside her, then grabbed her hair, forcing her to lift her head and meet her eyes. Her cool voice slowly slipped out between her lips and teeth:

"I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you. You clearly want to destroy someone else’s marriage, yet you dress up what you’re doing as something so high-sounding. Someone with a hide as thick as yours, comrade, I’ve finally gotten a real look today!"

Kang Li patted Zhou Yaqing’s pig-like swollen face, cold light flickering in her clear eyes. "You know what? That so-called love of yours isn’t love; it’s self-righteousness.

And there’s nothing glorious about your behavior. Put it this way—you’re what they call a homewrecker, and a fully aware one who still wants to be the other woman. But you seem to have forgotten one thing: in my man’s eyes, you are nothing. If you don’t believe it, I can ask him for you."

"Bitch! Let go of my hair right now!"

Zhou Yaqing didn’t even dare move, afraid that the hair Kang Li was gripping would yank her scalp painfully. She glared at Kang Li with hatred, wishing she could grind Kang Li’s bones to dust!

Just then, Luo Yanqing walked over to Kang Li’s side. He bent down, stretched out his long, jade-like, well-defined fingers to help his little girl up, then looked down at Zhou Yaqing from above, his gaze indifferent and cold as he said, "You disgust me. Compared to my wife, you’re not even worthy to carry her shoes."

Maybe the commotion in the courtyard was too loud, because those who hadn’t come out of the living room earlier were now outside as well, including members of the Zhou Family.

"What are you doing to my daughter?"

As soon as Zhou Yaqing’s mother saw her daughter lying on the ground, cheeks red and swollen—clearly slapped—she rushed over, glaring angrily at Kang Li and Luo Yanqing, wanting nothing more than to tear their hearts out.

"We weren’t trying to do anything. I was just teaching a lesson to a brazen, shameless homewrecker trying to destroy my marriage."

Kang Li’s gaze was clear and calm as she looked at Mrs. Zhou. "If you don’t want your daughter to be taught a lesson again, you’d better keep her from shamelessly talking about ’love’ in front of a married man and his wife."

At those words, Mrs. Zhou instantly felt she wanted to crawl into a hole; it was as if someone had slapped her hard across the face, making her cheeks burn.

She knew very well why her daughter had been transferred away from her original work unit.

And precisely because she knew, she felt especially ashamed at this moment. But her daughter was still her daughter; she couldn’t just roll over and give up. With that in mind, Mrs. Zhou snapped harshly, "My daughter is a pure, innocent girl, and you stand here slandering her like this—what exactly are you up to?"

"Enough! Take Xiao Qing inside!"

This was Old Lady Zhou’s voice.

"Mom! Xiao Qing is being maliciously slandered; we can’t just let this go. And look at her face—what have they turned it into? If we just let them off, it’ll make it seem like our Zhou Family has no one!"

Mrs. Zhou was complaining to Old Lady Zhou. Clearly, she was not only refusing to give Old Lady Zhou any face, she was outright defying her. For a moment, Old Lady Zhou’s face grew very unpleasant. "If you don’t want to be here, you and your daughter can go back right now!"

How did their Zhou Family end up marrying such a thing into the house?

Old Lady Zhou stared hard at Mrs. Zhou. Under that gaze, Mrs. Zhou’s whole body tensed. She didn’t dare say anything more. With Xu Dan also trying to talk her down, Mrs. Zhou swallowed her humiliation, finally helping Zhou Yaqing up. Mother and daughter bowed their heads and followed Xu Dan to the guest room.
