Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1685: Chapter 1303:

"You’re absolutely right, to me, five or ten thousand is like a drop in the bucket. I could even take out eighty or a hundred thousand. But I’m not your mother or father, and I don’t owe you anything. Where do you get the nerve to ask me for so much?"

Kang Li didn’t want to waste any more words with Xu Chunxia. Her tone was cold: "I’ll say it one last time—if you want to go back to your hometown, seeing as we’re from the same village, I’ll buy you a train ticket. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t help you."

Xu Chunxia kept silent, just looking at Kang Li with a face full of resentment.

Kang Li: "Two minutes to decide."

"Kang Libao, are you really this heartless? We grew up together! Even if I did things that let you down, it’s been so many years. Are you still going to hold a grudge against me?"

Xu Chunxia’s voice took on a sobbing note: "Would I have come crawling to you if I hadn’t been swindled out of everything? Kang Libao, can’t you be a little kinder? If you don’t help me, how is that any different from letting someone die right in front of you?"

Kang Li: "I’m not a good person. I don’t have that kind of kindness you’re talking about, Xu Chunxia. Instead of trying to play the victim in front of me, you might as well hurry up and find yourself a job. Oh right, if you pull at my car door again or stand in front of my car, don’t blame me for calling the police."

What nerve, thinking she could morally blackmail her?

With a cold sneer in her heart, Kang Li figured the two minutes were about up and said, "Last thirty seconds."

"Kang Libao... if you don’t help me, aren’t you afraid I’ll go back to the village and tell everyone you’re a total penny-pincher who wouldn’t give a cent?"

Xu Chunxia thought this could force Kang Li to loan her the money, but to her surprise, Kang Li just gave a chilly "heh" and said, "Do whatever you want."

"You’re so cold-blooded! Kang Libao, why do you have to be this cold-blooded?"

Xu Chunxia wiped the tears from her face and glared at Kang Li: "Wasn’t it just that I wanted to be with Zhou Weimin all those years ago? Do you have to hold a grudge until now? Besides, Zhou Weimin had already broken off the engagement with you at that point, and breaking it off wasn’t even my fault to begin with! You’ve hated me all these years—how is that fair to me?"

At that, Kang Li didn’t respond. She said flatly, "Time’s up."

Turning around, Kang Li walked towards her car.

For a moment, Xu Chunxia seemed to go mad, lunging from behind to stop Kang Li from leaving.

But before her hand could even touch Kang Li’s arm, Kang Li flipped her with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Her body slammed heavily on the ground. Xu Chunxia let out a cry of pain, and then everything hurt all over.

"Lili! Are you alright?"

It was Jiang Boya’s voice. Today was Saturday. He’d just finished work out of town and immediately caught a flight back to North City, planning to see his precious daughter and little grandson at the old house. But as soon as he stepped through the door, the old man told him Kang Li hadn’t brought Bun and the other two over. So Jiang Boya didn’t waste a second and had the driver bring him straight to the compound.

It had been a good while since he’d last seen his precious daughter and grandkids.

All because of work.

To be more precise, the business overseas had run into some trouble and he’d had to go deal with it.

Then he’d flown back to Shen City because the company there was also in crisis.

By the time all was sorted out, another couple of months had gone by in a flash.

Jiang Boya felt exhausted. He should be enjoying a peaceful retirement just like the old man at home, but his precious daughter kept turning down the family business. She said her old dad was still young, that she wanted to teach her students, manage her own business, and had to pick up and drop off all three Buns at kindergarten—she was simply too busy to handle everything.

Sighing was useless. No matter how much he said, it made no difference. Jiang Boya could only keep working like an old ox, helping his precious daughter grow the family business.

Earlier, sitting in the car, he’d seen Kang Li almost get "ambushed" by Xu Chunxia, and immediately yelled for the driver to stop. He flung the car door open and rushed over to Kang Li on his long legs.

"Dad, when did you get back?"

Hearing Jiang Boya’s voice, Kang Li immediately looked over. She put on a smile, and her voice was light and bright.

"I landed just over two hours ago. Got back to the old house and didn’t see you or the three little Buns, so I thought I’d come by the compound to see you all. By the way, Dad brought you some presents, they’re in the car. I’ll get them for you in a bit."

Saying that, Jiang Boya turned his concern back to Kang Li: "You still haven’t told me if you’re alright."

"I’m fine, see for yourself."

Kang Li spun around in place in front of Jiang Boya.

Seeing for himself that his precious daughter wasn’t hurt, Jiang Boya finally relaxed, then turned his gaze to Xu Chunxia: "Who is this crazy woman? What kind of grudge do you have with her that she’d try to jump you from behind?"
