Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1703: Chapter 1309: Admiration (Part 2)

He shared everything he’d heard from Jiang Hongfa, and seeing Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu, the two grandsons, staring wide-eyed, Old Master Xi asked, "Surprised, aren’t you?"

"Yeah!"

Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu nodded in unison.

"No need to be shocked; you see, some people are just born different. Like your Aunt Kang—she’s smart, always did well in school, and as she grew up, she had a real talent for business. So, during her years studying abroad,

she already started her own company, and now she has plenty of assets both in China and abroad, including in Fragrant City. Oh, and overseas, there’s a place called Wall Street. Your Aunt Kang is really famous there—I heard it from your Grandpa Jiang. He said people on Wall Street call your Aunt Kang an investment genius."

Building roads, factories, schools, and integrated ecological recycling parks... And she’s an investment genius on Wall Street! Xi Jingyu’s expression shifted from shock to awe, his eyes shining as brightly as spotlights. He sighed, "Amazing! Aunt Kang is just perfect and incredible!"

Little Xi Chenyu was younger and might not understand as much as his brother, but he picked up from Old Master Xi’s words that Little Sister Guoguo’s mom was amazing. The kid’s face was unusually serious, his gaze firm, secretly vowing that one day he’d become someone just like Aunt Kang!

"Your Aunt Kang’s skills are one thing, but the most important part is her kind and generous heart."

Old Master Xi was deeply impressed by Kang Li, too. When he heard about Kang Li’s deeds from Jiang Hongfa, he was truly astonished.

So young, she used her own abilities to create impressive wealth, but she never forgot to give back to the country that raised her, nor the villagers still struggling. She paid out of her own pocket to build roads for her hometown, constructed a new school for village kids, set up factories and ecological recycling parks, and led the villagers to prosperity together.

Young people like this are surely role models of the times. The more of them there are, the more the country can develop.

...

After breakfast the next morning, Min Rui and Kang Yilin gathered several kids and headed to Jiang Hongfa’s villa. They called out Xi Jingyu and Xi Chenyu, and a large group of children exited through the back door of the villa and started up the mountain steps.

That’s right, not far from the back door of Jiang Hongfa’s villa, there’s a long, winding stone stairway, which was paid for by Jiang Boya. It made it easier for villagers to go up the mountain, and for him and Old Master Jiang to go hiking while living in Aoli Village.

Worth mentioning, every certain distance along the winding stone steps, there’s an octagonal pavilion.

These are for people to rest when going up and down the mountain.

"Aunt Kang is really awesome, you know?"

Xi Jingyu walked with Ming Han, lowering his voice to ask.

"Are you seriously asking me that?"

Ming Han shot Xi Jingyu a look, "My mom’s always been awesome—I’ve known it since I was little."

Xi Jingyu: "That’s not what I meant."

"Then what are you trying to say?"

Ming Han raised his brows, "Let me tell you something: my mom speaks a bunch of languages, plays piano beautifully, and is really good at erhu and accordion, too. Her artwork is like nothing most people can compare to."

"I mean... do you know that the cement roads in the village and that wide, smooth main road were all paid for by Aunt Kang? Plus, the new village school and that new factory we saw in town... Aunt Kang built those too..."

Xi Jingyu rattled off, and after listening, Ming Han was stunned for quite a while. He finally snapped out of it and said, "My mom never mentioned it at home."

"Aunt Kang is really low-key."

Xi Jingyu said admiringly, "Luo Minghan, after my grandpa told me about what Aunt Kang has done, I really, really look up to her—you know? People on Wall Street call Aunt Kang an ’investment genius’, so you can imagine just how incredible her investment skills are!"

Ming Han cleared his throat and straightened up, saying proudly, "That’s right! My mom can do anything—no matter how amazing she is, to me, it’s not even surprising!"

"Look at you showing off—it’s Aunt Kang who’s awesome, not you."

Xi Jingyu shot Ming Han a sideways glance, then nudged him, whispering, "If your real mom showed up and asked you to go with her, would you leave, or would you stay with Aunt Kang instead?"

At those words, Ming Han’s face instantly grew cold. He stopped and glared at Xi Jingyu: "What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Don’t be angry, don’t be angry! It was just a joke, I was only messing around—no other meaning! If you don’t want to answer, just pretend I never said anything."
