Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1303

Pointing at her own dress, Xu Chunxia sniffled and said, "This dress I’m wearing costs over a hundred yuan, and you want me to wear it to be a nanny, to scrub plates and wash dishes? Kang Libao, what exactly are you trying to do? And look at my hands, just look—how well I’ve taken care of them. Can these hands scrub plates and wash dishes? Serve other people?"

Before returning to North City, she basically lived days where someone waited on her. Now she was supposed to wait on others, do the dirty job of scrubbing plates and washing dishes—wasn’t that just humiliating her?

"Do you think you’re so noble?" Kang Li curled her lips, her beautiful eyes laced with mockery. She said coldly, "Using your own hands to work, earning your own living—does that make you lose face?"

Kang Li didn’t need to think much to guess what Xu Chunxia had been up to those years she disappeared.

After all, Xu Chunxia’s clothes, makeup, and behavior all screamed that she’d been "eating easy meals" these past years.

That is, being someone’s "Canary."

So, when she suggested Xu Chunxia should earn a living scrubbing plates, washing dishes, or being a nanny, Xu Chunxia looked at her with contempt, full of disdain.

"I... I never said those jobs were shameful..." Xu Chunxia looked uncomfortable. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she stammered, "Kang Libao, I just feel that with how I am now, those jobs you mentioned... aren’t really suitable for me."

"Not suitable? What’s not suitable?" Kang Li’s face showed sarcasm. "Is it because you have a high degree, or do you have other skills for making a living?"

Xu Chunxia stayed silent.

"No education, no skills—do you think you can just sit and wait for food and drinks to come to you?"

Being mocked so coldly by Kang Li, Xu Chunxia felt particularly uncomfortable, but she couldn’t argue back.

"Listen to me: I’ll say it again. If you want to return to our hometown, I can buy you a train ticket, since we’re from the same village. As for anything else, I can’t help you."

Before Xu Chunxia could react, Kang Li opened the car door, about to drive into the compound.

Seeing this, Xu Chunxia hurriedly grabbed the car door handle, forgetting everything else.

"Mom!"

Guoguo saw Xu Chunxia lunging for the back car door, her big black grape-like eyes wide open.

"Don’t be scared, little sister. That auntie can’t get in."

Tangyuan comforted her sister in a childish voice.

Bun peered through the half-open car window at Xu Chunxia, then said to Kang Li, "Mom, that auntie seems to be holding onto the car door handle."

Kang Li nodded to show she knew, but she didn’t get out. Instead, she called to the security officer in the guardhouse for help.

But Xu Chunxia looked like she’d thrown caution to the wind, gripping the car door handle with both hands and refusing to let go, no matter how the security officer pulled her.

Faced with this situation, Kang Li really wanted to swear.

But with Bun and the other two sitting in the car, she couldn’t afford to be impulsive.

She took a deep breath to calm herself, stuck her head out the window, and said to Xu Chunxia, "Wait over there. Let me move the car so I’m not blocking traffic."

Xu Chunxia’s eyes were red as she asked, "You sure you’re not tricking me?"

"Enough. I always keep my word." Kang Li’s expression was icy, and seeing Xu Chunxia still not letting go, her beautiful eyes narrowed: "Still not letting go? You want me to come down with a knife and chop your hands off?"

Xu Chunxia involuntarily flinched.

"Hurry up!"

Kang Li’s tone was tinged with impatience.

"...If you trick me, I’ll just wait here for you forever!"

Xu Chunxia looked aggrieved, almost in tears.

Kang Li just felt she couldn’t bear to look; she might be a woman, but she had no idea what ’pitying the weak’ meant.

Once Xu Chunxia let go, Kang Li drove the car over to the side by the compound’s greenbelt. After parking, she told the three kids, "Sit tight in the car. Mom’s going out to fix this mess, then we’ll go home."

"Okay, Mom, don’t worry about the mess. Guoguo won’t get out of the car!"

"I’ll sit quietly and wait for Mom too."

Guoguo and Tangyuan promised one after another.

Bun: "I’ll be good!"

...

Xu Chunxia watched as Kang Li got out and walked toward her. Before Kang Li could stop, she said, "Kang Libao, lend me five thousand—no, lend me ten thousand yuan. Once I get money in hand, I’ll pay you back."

"Do I look stupid to you?" Kang Li’s expression was cold, her eyes staring straight into Xu Chunxia’s: "Five or ten thousand—just like that, as if it’s only right. If you don’t think I’m stupid, you must be treating me like your own parents. Am I?"

Hearing this, Xu Chunxia’s cheeks flushed red: "Kang Libao, can’t you stop being so nasty? I’m asking you for ten thousand yuan. It’s not like you can’t afford it. What’s wrong with lending it to me? And given the price of your car, even if I asked for eighty or a hundred thousand, you’d manage easily, so why say all this nonsense to me?"
