Chapter 1602 - 1282:
Chapter 1602: Chapter 1282:
My new life was given to me by my parents. No matter the weather, whether it was windy, rainy, scorching hot, or snowing heavily, as soon as they noticed something was wrong with my health,
they would rush me to the hospital. They never considered abandoning me, this sickly child they adopted. They supported me through school, teaching me ethics, honor, integrity, and leading by example,
cultivating me into someone with aspirations and pursuits, upright and magnanimous, someone who would contribute to society. Over the years, they never allowed me to suffer the slightest grievance. They loved me, protected me, and wholeheartedly treated me well..."
After speaking, Kang Li’s gaze towards Fang Su grew increasingly cold, mixed with mockery, clearly provoking Fang Su. She glared angrily at Kang Li: "You... you are rebelling against me! Even if I have a thousand or ten thousand faults, I am still your biological mother!"
Kang Li sneered: "Biological mother? Lady Fang, what does it matter if you are my birth mother? I’ve said that when you abandoned me, I already returned my life to you. Thus, from that moment until now, we are nothing but strangers, and I owe you nothing. Or perhaps, are you shamelessly trying to claim my parents’ efforts for yourself, hoping to directly reap the benefits?"
At these words, Fang Su’s face darkened, and she remained silent for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Kang Li shook her head at this point, saying, "No, you’re not just trying to reap the benefits from my parents; your ultimate goal is to rekindle old feelings with my dad. To delve deeper, you actually want to be Mrs. Jiang!"
Fang Su: "..." She did think this way, but what’s wrong with that?
"It seems I hit the nail on the head."
Kang Li observed the changes in Fang Su’s facial expression, scoffing, she said, "At the moment you thought of rekindling old feelings with my dad, did you not check yourself in the mirror?
You’re an aging lady, with sallow skin, loose skin, poor physical condition, not to mention your lack of cultural literacy, while my dad is handsome and wealthy. Even though he’s middle-aged,
his build and stamina are no different from young people in their twenties or thirties, and he graduated from a prestigious overseas university, his cultural literacy is unquestionable.
Tell me, what do you have to match my dad? Moreover, you are currently a married woman, and although your present husband has stepped down from his position, his identity and status don’t just disappear. Under such circumstances, can he tolerate you messing around in marital affairs?"
"You are impudent!"
Fang Su was furious, feeling as if Kang Li had forcefully stripped off her dignity.
"Impudent? You dared to think and act, so why can’t I speak?" Kang Li’s tone was filled with mockery: "Despite being at your age, you can’t settle down. Don’t you know? From the moment you repeatedly went to block my dad, and now standing before me, you’re just courting humiliation!"
Fang Su suddenly stood up, taking a few steps towards Kang Li, raising her hand to slap Kang Li, but Kang Li intercepted her hand mid-air.
"Lady Fang, don’t be shameless!"
Throwing away Fang Su’s hand, watching her stagger back two steps, Kang Li coldly said: "In the past, to become the young mistress of the Jiang family, you seduced my dad. This can’t be considered wrong, as having ambition and wanting to live a prosperous life is human nature. But after learning that my grandparents did not agree to my dad being with you,
instead of trying to achieve your goals through legitimate means, you instigated my dad to elope with you... In terms of right and wrong, my dad certainly wasn’t innocent either.
Later, my dad was forcibly brought back to North City by people sent by my grandfather, then forcibly sent abroad. You must have been heavily affected. After giving birth, you didn’t want to raise the child and abandoned her,
whether forced or otherwise, that was your decision. Even if others stand on moral grounds to criticize you, considering your situation back then, I don’t hate you, I just feel we have no mother-daughter fate.
Perhaps to survive, to have a home, a spiritual anchor, you chose to get married. To me, you weren’t wrong in making this choice.
But what I can’t understand is, after having a fairly good life for many years, why did you become unsettled upon seeing my dad? Did you forget you’re a married woman, forget what kind of family the Feng family is?"
Fang Su’s face turned as dark as ink: "That’s my business; it’s none of your concern!"
"I had no intention of meddling; you sought me out today." Kang Li casually said: "As they say, a tree lives for its bark, a person for their dignity. Lady Fang, you and my dad have been separated for years, who gave you the confidence,
that my dad would keep thinking of you, staying chaste for you, waiting to resume your relationship upon returning to the country? Did not, upon returning to the country, my dad never thought about having anything with you again,
And if you truly cared about the feelings between you and my dad, you wouldn’t have abandoned his child, nor after doing that, attempt the deception of swapping a plum for a peach, tricking my dad to get what you want."
"How... how do you know this?"
Fang Su looked at Kang Li in disbelief.
"Do I need to say?"
Kang Li’s expression was emotionless: "Your recognized fake daughter is named Xu Chunxia, she’s from the same village as me, I think Xu Chunxia should have told you. Whether she did or not, what difference does it make.
That year, she was tricked into going abroad by a foreign man, and it was I who accidentally found her by the roadside and, with the help of embassy staff, sent her back to the country.
Lady Fang, in your heart, there’s only scheming, only your own interests. With all this scheming, aren’t you tired?"
Fang Su: "..." Is it her fault for scheming? She merely wants to live well!
Seeming to have discerned Fang Su’s thoughts, Kang Li said: "There’s nothing wrong with pursuing a high quality of life, but Lady Fang, since marrying into the Feng family until now, has your quality of life been low? Speak this aloud, perhaps nobody around would believe it!
Living in such a large courtyard, being the mistress of the Feng family, you don’t worry about clothing, food, or money. If you still feel uncomfortable living such days, do you perhaps wish to ascend to the heavens? To live the life of an immortal!"
Fang Su’s face was flushed, her expression somewhat distorted.
"Honestly, for someone like Lady Fang, I have little regard, vain and insubstantial, selfish and fickle, being able to become the mistress of the Feng family is perhaps your life’s greatest fortune, why not cherish it? Must you always gaze higher? With such a mindset, beware lest you achieve nothing and end up with empty hands!"
"Are you cursing me? I am your mother, yet you dare to curse me! Knowing this, I should have strangled you at birth!"
Glaring intensely at Kang Li, Fang Su grinded her teeth, as if wanting to consume Kang Li alive.
"Wrong, I’m not cursing you, I don’t need to curse you. If you continue down this path, you’ll self-destruct and lose everything you have now, and in the end, you may not even have anyone to see you off."
