Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1817: Chapter 1336: Look Carefully, Am I Smiling? (Part 4)

"You’re really good at talking, no wonder you’re a teacher."

"I’m just sharing my own opinion, sorry to make you laugh."

Today, Kang Li was wearing a plain-colored dress. Her smile made her seem very approachable. Among the several parents standing nearby, one suddenly asked, "Are you that athlete named Kang Li?"

"..."

Kang Li was taken aback for a moment. Seeing the barely concealed enthusiasm in the person’s eyes, she had to nod, "Yes, I’m Kang Li."

That parent immediately told the others, "You all heard it, right? This is Comrade Kang Li, a well-known athlete in our country, and she was a national top scorer in the gaokao too! I never thought we’d have the luck to meet Comrade Kang Li in person today, we’re really so fortunate!"

The other parents all chimed in after hearing this, one after another, showering Kang Li with praise. Kang Li felt too embarrassed to keep standing there.

Luckily, the broadcast sounded, and the parents finally stopped talking.

A moment later, Qi’s mom said, "The kids will be out soon."

Kang Li responded with a soft "mm".

Qi’s mom said, "Your son will definitely get in!"

Kang Li replied, "The results aren’t out yet, so it’s hard to say if he’ll make it."

Qi’s mom said, "You’re being modest. If your kid can’t get into college with those grades, then the other kids from his school have even less chance."

"It all depends on how the kid performs in the exam. Even a thousand-mile horse can stumble."

Kang Li’s tone was calm, without any ups or downs.

"But you’re a former gaokao top scorer! Isn’t there a saying, ’the student surpasses the teacher’? With a mom as amazing as you, your son might just become a top scorer too!"

Qi’s mom truly envied Kang Li, having a son who was always ranked first in every exam.

"As long as the kid does his best, that’s enough."

As for whether Min Rui could become the gaokao top scorer, Kang Li didn’t desire that. She believed that even if her kids weren’t top scorers, they’d still excel in their own careers in the future.

This confidence, Kang Li had it deep in her heart.

"Mom!"

It was Min Rui’s voice. There were five minutes left before the paper was due, but Min Rui didn’t wait any longer and walked out of the exam center. He spotted Kang Li at a glance and headed straight over.

"Is this your son?"

Seeing Min Rui approach, Qi’s mom couldn’t help but exclaim, "He looks so handsome!"

"Yes, that’s my son."

Kang Li smiled and introduced Min Rui, "This is the mother of Qi Shuang from your school’s Senior 3 (Class 4)."

"Hello, Auntie!"

Min Rui politely greeted her.

"Luo’s mom, your son is truly outstanding. I really envy you!"

Qi’s mom laughed, and before Kang Li could say anything, she asked Min Rui, "Do you think this year’s gaokao papers were tough?"

Min Rui said, "Not bad."

"Qi’s mom, I’ll head out with my child now."

Kang Li spoke to Qi’s mom, then nodded to the other parents nearby, after which she called out to Min Rui, "Let’s go."

After the mother and son walked away, Qi’s mom chatted with the parents around her, "There’s just no comparison. Look at Luo’s mom, her son is good-looking and has amazing grades—my daughter goes to the same school and says he was always ranked first from junior high to high school. And their school is a top high school, so you can tell his grades are really something else."

"Comrade Kang Li was a gaokao top scorer—of course her son won’t be bad academically."

"Really makes you jealous!"

"That Comrade Kang looks so young, and she’s so beautiful, really doesn’t look like the mom of a seventeen-, eighteen-year-old."

"She’s got a youthful face, uses good skincare, and knows how to tidy herself up, so she naturally looks young."

...

Kang Li had no idea that after she and Min Rui left, the parents were talking about her. Now, she was driving her eldest son home and casually asked, "Any plans for the holiday?"

"Haven’t thought about it."

Min Rui shook his head.

Kang Li said, "Do you want to go to another city with your classmates?"

Min Rui replied, "If Mom is traveling, I’ll go with you. If it’s just me, I’d rather not."

"Young people should be full of energy. You don’t need to stay home all the time."

"I don’t really want to go out."

To Min Rui, traveling in the heat of summer was just suffering. Besides, he really wasn’t interested in tourism.

"Ruirui, you’re too introverted. That’s not good."

Kang Li looked at her eldest son and said, "I heard from Hanhan that your career goal is to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you do get in as you wish, you’ll be flying all over the place in the future, and you’ll need excellent communication skills."

"Mom, I’m not bad at talking."

He just didn’t like chatting with people casually, but that didn’t mean he was bad at speaking.

As for working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and becoming a ’frequent flyer,’ he didn’t see that as a problem.

The reason?

Once you’ve decided to do it, you have to do it well. Nothing to be afraid of—go forward boldly!
