Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1688 - 1305: Reviled_2

But I’m not a puppet, letting her pull my strings. So I started seeing a foreign man... In the end, isn’t all my trouble tied to you, isn’t it all your fault? If that woman hadn’t mistaken me, if you and that woman had reconnected earlier, would I have been dragged home as her maid, would all that crap have happened after?"

Kang Li was stunned by Xu Chunxia’s shamelessness, but nothing special showed on her face; she just twitched the corner of her mouth ever so slightly before she spoke: "Xu Chunxia, I really haven’t met anyone as shameless as you. I’ve already said before, whether you called Lady Fang your mother or whether you went abroad, none of it was my doing—it’s your own greed and vanity,

and because you just wanted too much, that’s how all the mess that followed happened.

But if you insist on picking this apart, trying to figure out who’s right or wrong, then at best you and Lady Fang split the blame fifty-fifty for the ’mistaken identity’ thing. So if you want to resent someone, resent yourself and Lady Fang. I have no reason to carry the burden for you.

And for the record, I never thought of reuniting with Lady Fang, and I never will in this life. You’re obsessed with having Lady Fang as your mom? Fine, I have no opinion on that. Right now I’ll send you out, you go find Lady Fang if that’s what you want."

Same greed for vanity, same selfishness—in Kang Li’s eyes, Fang Su and Xu Chunxia were destined to be mother and daughter.

It’d be best if those two could get tied together, mess each other up from here on out, and stop popping up in front of her looking for attention.

"I’ll walk her to the gate."

After nodding to Captain Kang, the old couple, and Jiang Boya—the so-called dad—Kang Li didn’t care if Xu Chunxia really wanted to leave or not. She grabbed the woman’s wrist, just like she had when bringing Xu Chunxia into the compound, and dragged her out of the living room.

Xu Chunxia struggled; she didn’t want to leave.

After all, she’d come all this way and hadn’t accomplished a damn thing, and now someone was hauling her out like a dead dog. How could she just accept that?

"I’m not leaving! Kang Libao, I’m not leaving, you still haven’t lent me money!"

Xu Chunxia struggled backwards, damn determined to borrow money right there in Kang Li’s house. But with Kang Li’s strength, all her resistance was a joke.

"Shut up.

Kang Li parted her lips, scolding in a low voice: "Let me give you some advice. If you don’t want to really turn into some rat crawling around in the gutter, you’d better get your head on straight, and earn your money with your own two hands."

"Who the hell are you calling a gutter rat?"

Xu Chunxia looked pissed—and obviously, she was feeling guilty as hell.

"Why so worked up?"

Kang Li glanced at her with cold amusement, half-smiling as she said: "Don’t you realize that from head to toe, even deep down in your bones, you reek of sleaze?"

Her voice wasn’t loud, but Kang Li made sure Xu Chunxia heard: "Playing dumb in front of me won’t work, Xu Chunxia. Honestly, I knew you were shady, but I didn’t think you’d fuck up so bad—messing up step after step, not knowing when to stop or make things right, until you just went full-on, selling your own body..."

With all her secrets laid bare, Xu Chunxia immediately shrank, terrified someone would find out about the sleazy things she’d done before coming back to North City. She lowered her voice, grinding her teeth: "Kang Libao, stop slandering me. I... I’m not some cheap slut. If people back home start spreading rumors about me, it’ll most definitely be because of you, and then... then I won’t let you off!"

At that, Kang Li snorted and said flatly: "Don’t worry, I really don’t care enough to blab your crap all over town."

Seeing the suspicion in Xu Chunxia’s eyes, Kang Li sneered: "Back when we first met in North City, I never breathed a word about you back home. Now you’ve made yourself into such a mess, to me it’s just surprising—but I’d never drag out your dirty laundry in front of the folks back home."

Also, you ought to take the time and get your health checked at a hospital. Don’t catch something without realizing, and wait until the symptoms crop up—then it’ll be too late."

Xu Chunxia glared at her: "You... you’re cursing me! Kang Libao, who does that, seeing me and slapping my face, now you’re wishing disease on me, you really are cold-blooded!"

Kang Li feigned solemnity, raising an eyebrow: "That disease? Which kind do you mean?"

Xu Chunxia’s eyes were practically spitting fire: "Stop pretending to be clueless with me!"

Kang Li sighed: "So you do have some brains after all. Since they haven’t all been thrown in the dumpster, try recalling what your private life used to look like. Xu Chunxia, I’m genuinely just reminding you out of kindness. Whether you want to listen or not is up to you."

Xu Chunxia couldn’t care less about her swollen face, and her expression no longer showed any hysteria. She stopped glaring at Kang Li, and instead lowered her head, letting Kang Li drag her along step by step, mumbling: "I never messed around with people. I just... I just had a few boyfriends, that’s all. Stop trying to scare me, I’m not gonna catch any dirty disease."

"If that’s how you think, then just take what I said as nonsense."

Though Kang Li hadn’t studied Chinese medicine in depth, when she was receiving elite family education, she did learn a bit, so the basics—taking a pulse, recognizing medicinal herbs—weren’t hard for her.

And when she’d dragged Xu Chunxia into the compound earlier, just from Xu Chunxia’s complexion she’d noticed something off, so she couldn’t help but check her pulse.
