Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All-Chapter 1262 - 1198: Bitter Disappointment

Miss Lily uneasily said, "Perhaps I overthought it, or to be more precise, I indeed had some petty suspicions. I not only misunderstood Austin but also disparaged this cousin in front of my father...And Austin might have felt disheartened after being reprimanded by my father, which is why he resigned from all his positions."

"The human heart cannot withstand speculation."

Kang Li’s tone was calm.

"You’re right," Miss Lily said with a bitter smile, "but I still made this basic mistake."

Hearing this, Kang Li pursed her lips and remained silent for a while. She said, "If you regret it, you can personally invite Austin back to the company. Don’t feel that doing so would undermine your dignity."

"I don’t find my status to be particularly significant, moreover, Austin and I are cousins. If he is willing to return to the company, it wouldn’t be an issue for me to invite him two or three times. However, Austin didn’t give me this opportunity. After resigning from all his positions, he quickly formed a team and started his own company."

From Miss Lily’s tone, Kang Li could easily detect regret. But some things, once they’ve happened, are like water spilled on the ground, hard to recover. Thus, for a moment, Kang Li didn’t know how to continue consoling Miss Lily.

The surrounding air felt almost stagnant, making the atmosphere somewhat dull.

After a while, Kang Li said, "Since Austin has made his own choice, you don’t have to dwell on that matter. Just like big trees branch out, Austin’s decision shows that he wants to make his own mark. As a relative, you should just send your blessings.

Of course, if you really feel uneasy about it, you can also apologize to him."

Speaking of which, a month ago, Kang Li had formed an investment team, and every member was a top talent, discovered based on the information provided by System Dwen Dwen in this foreign land.

It’s not that Qing Lan was cheating; when there’s such convenience, wouldn’t it be foolish not to use it?

"Talking with you all this while has made me feel much better. Thank you for listening to my grievances," said Miss Lily with a hint of embarrassment on her face. Then she asked, "Do you have family back in Hua Country?"

Hearing this, Kang Li was first taken aback and then nodded slightly.

"Aren’t they coming over to be with you?" Miss Lily asked, glancing at Kang Li’s bulging belly, "Your due date is approaching soon."

"My parents should be able to come here soon." More than half a month ago, Jiang Boya went to the homeland to assess the domestic investment environment. Before leaving, he specifically informed Kang Li that he would bring Captain Kang and his wife over on his return trip.

He also assured Kang Li that without her permission, he wouldn’t let slip any of the matters related to her background in front of Captain Kang and his wife.

The "let slip" undoubtedly referred to certain matters related to Kang Li’s background.

In the homeland, North City.

"Are you Comrade Liu Jiacheng?"

Jiang Boya was led to Liu Jiacheng’s office, and without waiting for an introduction, he instinctively directed his gaze toward Liu Jiacheng.

"Yes, I am. May I ask who you are...?"

Quickly standing up, Liu Jiacheng looked at Jiang Boya, who said, "Hello, my surname is Jiang." Extending his right hand, the two shook hands briefly.

"Lawyer Wang has spoken to you, I assume?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Without much thought, Liu Jiacheng guessed Jiang Boya’s identity.

"He did." Jiang Boya nodded with a smile, and then he expressed his gratitude to Liu Jiancheng, gently saying, "I wonder if Comrade Liu is free now; I would like to invite you for a meal and discuss something further."

Liu Jiacheng said, "Mr. Jiang, there’s no need to use honorifics with me." Saying that, Liu Jiancheng tidied up his desk briefly, then said, "Let’s go."

But just as Liu Jiacheng and Jiang Boya were about to turn and leave, Hao Jian suddenly rose from the chair behind his desk. He was secretly resentful, wondering when Liu Jiacheng, the leader, had taken credit for his achievements. Hao Jian quickly walked to Jiang Boya, "Mr. Jiang, I am Hao Jian. Previously, when Lawyer Wang came to the homeland to handle matters for you, I was the one who received him. Moreover, I was the one who accompanied Lawyer Wang in finding Comrade Fang Sumei..."

Jiang Boya frowned slightly, "Comrade, I know what you’re saying, but I have other matters to discuss privately with Comrade Liu right now. Excuse us."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian was unwilling, but when he saw the impatience on Jiang Boya’s face and the tightly furrowed brows of Liu Jiacheng, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction, step aside, and watch Jiang Boya and Liu Jiacheng leave the office.
