Chapter 1599: Chapter 1282
After she finished speaking, the look Kang Li cast at Fang Su grew even colder, laced with mockery, and Fang Su was clearly provoked by that look. She glared angrily at Kang Li: "You... you’re utterly unfilial! Even if I’ve made a thousand, ten thousand mistakes, I am still your biological mother!"
Kang Li sneered: "Biological mother? Lady Fang, so what if you’re my birth mother? I already said, the moment you abandoned me, I returned this life to you. From that moment on till now, you and I are just strangers, I don’t owe you a thing. Or should I say, you have no shame and insist on taking the credit that belongs to my parents and claiming it for yourself, wanting to just snatch the ready-made fruit?"
At those words, Fang Su’s face darkened, and she stayed silent for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Kang Li shook her head at this point and said, "No, that’s not all. You’re not just trying to steal the fruit from my parents’ hands. Your ultimate goal is to rekindle things with my dad, and to go a bit deeper, what you actually want is to become Mrs. Jiang!"
Fang Su: "..." That was indeed what she was thinking, but what was wrong with that?
"Looks like I hit the nail on the head."
Kang Li watched the changes in Fang Su’s expression, let out a cold laugh, and said, "The moment you thought about rekindling things with my dad, why didn’t you look in the mirror and have a good look at yourself?
A haggard middle-aged woman, sallow skin, sagging flesh, your looks are already this bad, not to mention your level of education and refinement, whereas my dad is handsome and wealthy. Even though he’s middle-aged,
his figure and stamina are no different from those of a man in his twenties or thirties, and he graduated from a top foreign university, so there’s no need to even mention his cultural literacy.
Tell me, what do you have that can match my dad? And besides, you’re currently a married woman. Even if your present husband has stepped down from his position, his status and standing don’t just vanish overnight. Under these circumstances, do you really think he can tolerate you messing around with a man while you’re still married?"
"How dare you!"
Fang Su was furious, feeling as if Kang Li had brutally ripped the skin off her face.
"How dare I? You dare to think it and act on it; what can’t I say?" Kang Li’s tone dripped with mockery: "Already at your age and still can’t behave yourself. Do you know this? From the moment you kept going to block my dad’s way again and again, and now showing up in front of me, you’ve been asking for humiliation!"
Fang Su suddenly shot to her feet, took a few quick steps up to Kang Li, and raised her hand, wanting to slap her, but Kang Li caught her hand in midair.
"Lady Fang, don’t you dare push your luck when I’m still giving you face!"
She flung Fang Su’s hand away, and as she watched the other woman stumble back two steps, Kang Li said coldly, "Back then, you seduced my dad in order to become the young madam of the Jiang Family. You can’t exactly say that was wrong of you—after all, you were ambitious and wanted a life of wealth, that’s human nature. But after you found out that my grandfather and grandma both disapproved of my dad being with you,
instead of thinking of proper, legitimate ways to achieve your goal, you insisted on egging my dad on to elope with you... On this matter alone, if we really have to talk about right and wrong, my dad is certainly not blameless either.
Later, my dad was forcibly brought back to North City by the people my grandfather sent, and then forcibly sent abroad. You must have taken quite a blow. After giving birth, you refused to raise the child and abandoned her.
Whether it was out of desperation or for some other reason, that was your business, your decision. Even if outsiders might condemn you from a moral standpoint, given your situation at the time, I don’t hate you; I only want to say that you and I simply had no fate to be mother and daughter.
Perhaps in order to survive, to have a home and some spiritual support, you chose to marry. In my view, there was nothing wrong with that version of you.
What I can’t figure out is this: you haven’t lived a bad life all these years, so why is it that the moment you saw my dad again, you suddenly became restless? Did you forget that you’re a married woman, forget what kind of family the Feng family is?"
Fang Su’s face was as dark as ink: "That’s my business, none of yours!"
"I never intended to meddle. You’re the one who came looking for me today." Kang Li said coolly, "There’s a saying, ’A tree lives for its bark; a person lives for their face.’ Lady Fang, after you and my dad have been apart for so many years, who exactly gave you the confidence
to think my dad would keep pining for you, preserving himself for you, waiting till he came back to the country to pick things up again with you? No, he didn’t. After my dad returned, he never once thought about having anything more to do with you.
And if you really cared about the feelings you once had with my dad, you wouldn’t have abandoned his child. Even more, after doing something like that, you wouldn’t still try to pull a bait-and-switch, deceive my dad, and get the benefits you want."
