Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1500: Chapter 1257_4

”Not really. When I heard my Xiaoran talking about it, I just felt a bit surprised. You have no idea how upset Xiaoran was because of that rumor. She said she shouldn’t have listened to your Vivi and should have helped beat up those gossiping girls.”

”My Vivi did the right thing. It’s her matter, and Xiaoran shouldn’t be dragged into it. Besides, my Vivi was up against multiple people but didn’t suffer any loss.”

Kang Li’s tone was indifferent yet carried a hint of pride. She said, ”When Ruirui, Hanhan, and Vivi were still young, I taught them martial arts. On one hand, it was to help them exercise, and on the other, it was for self-defense, so they won’t just take a beating if someone picks a fight outside.”

”You have great foresight.” Wu Yue’s eyes were full of envy as she praised Kang Li, ”Your kids are all outstanding. I’m so jealous.”

”You raised Xiaoran quite well too.”

Kang Li returned the compliment.

”Just okay, really can’t compare with your kids.”

This wasn’t Wu Yue being modest; it was simply the truth. Not mentioning Ruirui and the other boys, and not even including Xiao Guoguo, just taking Ming Wei alone, in terms of academics and talents, she is undoubtedly the exemplary child. Plus, Ming Wei is good-looking, has a nice demeanor, and is polite. Every time she visits Wu Yue’s home looking for Song Xiaoran, Wu Yue is exceptionally fond of her.

Kang Li: ”It’s best if you don’t say this in front of Xiaoran.”

Wu Yue: ”Why?”

Kang Li: ”Children need encouragement, also your Xiaoran is truly remarkable. It’s unfair to constantly compare your child to others, and it might lead to resentment, damaging your parent-child relationship.”

”Is it that serious?”

Wu Yue was a bit skeptical.

Kang Li: ”Believe me and you won’t go wrong.”

”Actually... I haven’t really compared your Vivi to Xiaoran, just occasionally a couple of times, and Xiaoran didn’t mind at all. When I bring it up, she simply nods and says she indeed can’t compare to your Vivi.”

On the surface, Wu Yue said this, but in reality, she felt a tinge of insecurity.

She actually quite likes mentioning Ming Wei in front of her daughter, asking why her daughter can’t learn from Ming Wei.

Fang Su disapproved and said, ”Haven’t you suffered enough from Han Bin’s daughter? Just getting a divorce like this is benefiting them and that vixen!

Besides, most of Han Bin’s assets are under your name. If you don’t divorce, no matter how much he earns later, a large portion will be yours. But if you divorce, while you might get most of his current assets, what about the future?

Given Han Bin’s business skills, maybe in just a year or two, he could earn back the portion you took. Listen to Auntie; don’t act foolishly. You can’t divorce; you need to hold onto the title of Mrs. Han, and make that vixen angry!”

”But I feel troubled!”

Feng Lu cried, ”Han Bin said he would always treat me well, said he liked me, loved me, and now he’s betrayed me. Auntie, whenever I think about him hugging other women, it feels like knives are piercing my heart, it hurts so much!”

Casually smoothing the hair at the back of Feng Lu’s head, Fang Su said, ”Lu Lu, you need to know you’re not young anymore; liking and loving are too intangible. If a man can give you that, great. If not, we have to be realistic.

Do you know what being realistic means? Money. As long as you hold lots of money in your hands, it’s more important than anything. Understand Auntie’s point?”

Feng Lu continued to cry with her head buried in Fang Su’s arms, without speaking.

”With money, what can’t you do? If Han Bin dares to mess around outside, can’t you learn from him?” Upon hearing this, Feng Lu’s crying suddenly stopped. She lifted her head and looked at Fang Su in disbelief, ”Auntie Fang, Han Bin is a man, I’m a woman.”

”Your Auntie is not foolish.”

Fang Su pouted and said, ”Why can men do things that women can’t? Listen to Auntie. If Han Bin continues to do wrong, and does things that betray you, just treat him as a money-making tool,

as for yourself, live your life as happily as possible. If staying at home gets too boring, go to an orphanage and adopt a child who can already walk and jump, is smart and good-looking, and raise them at home for entertainment.”

Pursing her lips tightly, Feng Lu was silent for a long time.

Caressing her own face, Fang Su felt her skin slightly loose, noticing the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes. At this moment, she inevitably recalled Jiang Boya’s face.

Though of similar age to hers, Jiang Boya looked like she was in her thirties.

Slim and tall, with refined and elegant features, her appearance compared to her youth only appeared more mature and steady, showing no traces left by time.

With a deep sigh, Fang Su felt a pang of sourness inside, mixed with quite some resentment.

”That bastard, didn’t I... didn’t I abandon that child, but can I be blamed?”

Mumbling, Fang Su’s expression turned wistful: ”The doctors at the maternity hospital said that without careful nurturing, it’s uncertain if the child could live past two years old, and I... I was a woman who had just given birth, with barely any money; how was I supposed to carefully nurture that child?

Moreover, the child was premature, the size of a kitten, looking utterly lifeless, where would I find the confidence to raise her? If she’s destined for early death, does it matter if it’s sooner or later?”

Regarding abandoning her own child, Fang Su to this day does not feel she was wrong.

In her mind, she was compelled to do so.

...

”Of course.”

Kang Li responded without hesitation, then asked, ”Why, did you believe those rumors?”
