Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Intentional Guidance

And she could tell that Professor Luo’s old mother and brothers were not the easy sort to deal with, so why not enjoy the hustle and bustle of the family next door?

Okay, actually, what she really wanted to see was the commotion involving Kang Li, that woman.

Anyway, Professor Luo wasn’t around, so there was no need to worry about offending him.

"Comrade, you really have a way with words. If my daughter-in-law were as easy to talk to as you, fellow female comrade, that would be just perfect," Wang Guilan said with a somewhat restrained smile.

But her eyes kept darting to Su Man’s face, keen to observe any changes in expression, to gauge how easy the daughter-in-law she was about to meet would be to handle.

A calculating flash crossed Su Man’s eyes, and she feigned surprise: "Auntie, don’t you know?"

"Know what?"

Wang Guilan didn’t understand.

"Your son, comrade Luo Yanqing, his current wife is the one he remarried..."

"What? Comrade, what are you saying? Has my son been divorced or what?"

"No, no, Professor Luo didn’t get divorced. His previous wife died in childbirth, so, Professor Luo married Comrade Kang to bring into the family."

Meng Xingping stammered as he spoke: "Mom... you... you can’t say that."

"Auntie, Professor Luo’s previous wife left him three children, including a pair of twins, one of each sex. It seems that Comrade Kang has been taking good care of these three children but, as you can imagine, it is extremely exhausting for one person to look after three young ones. Now that you’ve come all the way to visit Professor Luo, why not just stay and help Comrade Kang with the children at home to lighten her burden a little."

As Su Man spoke, she sighed, and added: "Comrade Kang is physically frail, and if she were to collapse from exhaustion, I fear it would be a huge blow for Professor Luo!"

If Kang Li were to hear this remark, she would probably slap Su Man right away. Was this not a curse, and a lethal one at that?

"I’ll consider it later,"

Wang Guilan replied noncommittally.

...

"Comrade Kang! Comrade Kang! You have guests at home!"

The courtyard door was knocked, and Su Man’s annoying voice could be heard; Kang Li’s brows furrowed deeply,
