Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 709: Chapter 709 Acting

”I’m not blind.” Stinky little sister, don’t you know your brother is thin-skinned?

”Alright, you two mustn’t quarrel. Your big brother is just a little bit shy, that’s all. But in Mom’s eyes, even though your big brother is older than you, he’s still a child.”

Rubbing her eldest son’s hair again, Kang Li hugged the little one and patted his back lightly: ”There’s nothing bad about getting a hug from Mom. It actually shows that Mom loves our Ruirui, and Ruirui loves Mom too.”

Min Rui slowly raised his head: ”Ruirui loves Mom.”

”Mom knows.” Kang Li smiled and said, ”Let’s go, let’s head home.” The twins, each held by one of Cai Xiufen’s hands, crossed the zebra crossing to the pedestrian sidewalk on the other side and headed towards their home complex.

Xiao Ming Wei suddenly asked, ”Mom, was it wrong of me to say big brother was shy?”

There was a sly gleam in Kang Li’s eyes as she looked down at the little girl: ”It wasn’t ’wrong,’ but there’s a saying, ’know it but don’t say it.’ Even though you know, sometimes it’s better not to say it. Otherwise, it can make the person you’re talking about lose face, um, feel embarrassed, or even uncomfortable.”

Xiao Ming Wei: ”Big brother felt embarrassed just now, didn’t he?”

Kang Li: ”You ask your big brother.”

Xiao Ming Wei: ”Big brother, when I said you were shy just now, did you feel embarrassed?”

Min Rui hesitated for a moment, then nodded: ”Yeah.” He felt embarrassed, but more uncomfortable.

”I’m sorry, big brother. I won’t say that about you again.”

Xiao Ming Wei apologized in her sweet, childlike voice.

Min Rui shook his head: ”It doesn’t matter.”

Suddenly, a cry of ”Ouch” came from behind Kang Li and her group.

Xiao Ming Wei turned her head to look and blinked before saying, ”Grandma, Mom, a lady has fallen over!” Kang Li stopped walking, holding Min Rui by the hand, turned around and saw a pregnant woman, supporting her swollen belly, sitting on the ground about ten meters behind them.

Cai Xiufen: ”Let’s go over and have a look.”

By this time, there were already bystanders gathered around the pregnant woman.

”Comrade, are you alright?”

”Comrade, where is your family?”

”Comrade, how about I take you to the nearby hospital for a checkup?”

”I... I’m fine, thank you all, thank you, I really am fine, I just need to sit here for a while, you don’t need to worry about me.”

”Your belly is so big, and you suddenly fell to the ground, how can you possibly be fine? Comrade, don’t be polite with us all. If you’re feeling unwell, just say so.”

”I really am fine.”

The ”pregnant woman” sitting on the ground was none other than Cui Shuicao. She feigned weakness in her legs and calmly ”fell” to the ground, merely to draw Kang Li and Cai Xiufen’s attention so that Meng Xingsheng could carry out his plan.

She hadn’t anticipated that the well-meaning passersby would surround her, insisting on taking her to the hospital.

At that moment, Cui Shuicao’s mind was filled with irritation, but fearing she would give herself away, she could only shake her head and repeatedly wave away the offers of help, maintaining that she was fine.

”Comrade, you look so young; is this your first time being a mother?”

”Yeah.”

”No wonder! Let me tell you, dear, when you’re pregnant and you fall down like this, if you don’t rush to the hospital to have it checked out, it could lead to serious problems.”

”Yes, yes, young comrade, drop the stubbornness, let’s get you to the hospital.”

”Auntie, my belly doesn’t hurt, and as you can see, there is no blood under me. I just couldn’t walk anymore because I was too tired, and my legs gave out, so I sat down. If I rest for a bit, I’ll be able to stand up.”

Cui Shuicao felt like cursing in frustration, but she continued to politely reject the bystanders’ offers of assistance.
