Is this Li Bao?
Xu Chunxia felt suspicious, but after Zhou Weimin finished speaking, she still chimed in with agreement, hoping that Kang Li would discard the idea of marrying a twice-married man and becoming a stepmother as soon as she entered the door.
Seeing that Kang Li remained silent, she glanced at Su Qing inadvertently, then spoke to Kang Li again, "Li Bao, Brother Weimin certainly didn't intend to break the engagement with you, he must have had his difficulties. Why don't you and Brother Weimin talk things over again..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Kang Li: "Can you shut your mouth first?" Scanning Xu Chunxia, Kang Li refocused her gaze on Zhou Weimin and also cast a faint look at the young woman by his side.
Su Qing?
The female lead's older sister?
Is it her?
As she was thinking this, Su Qing, for some reason, introduced herself directly to Kang Li: "Hello Comrade Kang Li, my name is Su Qing, I am an educated youth at the Youth Educated Institute."
"I know you."
Since she was so eager to assert her presence, Kang Li saw no reason to ignore her. Thinking so, she looked emotionlessly at Su Qing: "So, Zhou Weimin and I broke off our engagement because of you, Educated Youth Su, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Weimin opened his mouth to say "no", but Su Qing's slightly apologetic voice had already risen: "I'm sorry..." This clearly confirmed what Kang Li had said.
"Qingqing!"
Zhou Weimin looked at Su Qing in dismay, warning her sternly, "Don't talk nonsense in front of Li Bao!"
Su Qing felt wronged: "Did I say anything wrong?"
With tears swirling in her eyes, Su Qing bit her lip: "Feelings can't be forced, and you and I have mutual affection. Let's clear things up with Comrade Kang Li now; it's better to end the pain quickly rather than prolong it."
"You're still talking!"
Zhou Weimin clenched his teeth, clearly very dissatisfied with Su Qing.
"Weimin, are you yelling at me?!"
Su Qing looked tearful.
"Enough, the two of you don't need to act in front of me."
Do they really think Zhou Weimin is such a catch?
Seeing Xu Chunxia open her mouth, clearly wanting to add something to Su Qing's statement, Kang Li sneered inwardly and said to Zhou Weimin, "Comrade Zhou Weimin, from the moment we broke off our engagement, there has been no relationship between us. Therefore, I earnestly ask you not to meddle any further. If possible, I'd also appreciate it if you didn't appear before me again."
After a brief pause, she turned her gaze towards Su Qing: "Educated Youth Su, congratulations on your commitment with Comrade Zhou Weimin. However, I'm afraid I won't have time to attend your wedding celebration, as I will soon be heading to North City to reunite with my loved one."
Zhou Weimin was shocked: "What? Li Bao, what are you saying?"
Xu Chunxia was taken aback: "Li Bao! What are you talking about?"
Su Qing was stunned: "..."
"Is it really necessary for you three to be so startled? If a man should marry and a woman should wed, then what's wrong? I've already registered our marriage with Comrade Luo, calling him my loved one. There's nothing wrong in that, is there?!"
"Li Bao, you..."
Zhou Weimin felt a dull pain in his chest; he was unwilling and unable to believe what he was hearing now, but Kang Li's expression clearly told him she wasn't lying.
As Su Qing regained her composure, she awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, finally saying, "Congratulations Comrade Kang Li; I might have offended you with my previous words, please forgive me."
As Su Qing finished speaking, Zhou Weimin looked dazed and walked away alone.
His steps were somewhat unsteady, as if he might fall if he wasn't careful.
Seeing this, Su Qing couldn't worry about saying more to Kang Li and hurriedly followed Zhou Weimin.
Kang Li's gaze was calm as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance, well, to be precise, she was watching Su Qing's figure, the corners of her mouth curving into a mocking smile.
