Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1683: Chapter 1303

Back when Xu Chunxia was ”invited” to leave the Feng family’s big courtyard, she dragged two large suitcases along the roadside aimlessly, not knowing how long she’d been walking when suddenly two street youths blocked her way.

Without saying anything, they snatched the suitcases from Xu Chunxia’s hands and ran towards an alley beside the road.

Faced with this situation, Xu Chunxia was so scared she stood frozen on the spot; when she finally reacted, she shouted ”Someone’s robbing” while chasing after the two youths.

Wearing high heels and a hip-hugging short skirt, she couldn’t run fast at all.

Xu Chunxia was so desperate she was on the verge of tears, but at that moment on the stretch of road she was on, there wasn’t a single person in sight; so despite shouting about a robbery, no one stepped forward to help.

As she chased into the alley, Xu Chunxia watched the two youths who had stolen her suitcases get further and further away, when suddenly a silhouette ran out from a cross alley.

That person barely took an instant to knock the two youths down.

”Put it down, get lost!”

The two youths, lying on the ground, glanced at each other and then at the man who knocked them down before climbing up and bolting towards the alley’s other end.

Breathless, Xu Chunxia caught up only to see a man dragging her two large suitcases, ready to walk towards her while the two youths who had stolen her suitcases limped away.

Without a doubt, Xu Chunxia thanked the man. Learning Xu Chunxia needed to go to a hotel, the man kindly offered to accompany her there, just in case she encountered another robbery attempt.

Xu Chunxia didn’t refuse; she even felt her charm was so great that it compelled him to become her Flower Guardian.

Gradually, the two grew familiar with each other. Xu Chunxia, perhaps too proud of her allure, unwittingly let her guard down with an outsider.

And so it was easy for him to learn from her that she had just returned to North City from the South and wanted to buy a house in North City, prompting him to offer to take her house-hunting.

One thing led to another and their relationship grew ambiguous; Xu Chunxia felt she was falling for this man named Zhang Hui, and shortly thereafter heard Zhang Hui’s confession.

Quite naturally, they became a couple.

But Xu Chunxia never anticipated five days ago, when they went to the bank to withdraw money intending to make a loan payment, she went to the restroom partway through and never saw Zhang Hui again.

Coming back to the rental they shared, everything belonging to Zhang Hui was gone, including her own valuable belongings, like two gold necklaces, a gold bracelet, and a high-end ladies’ watch—vanished without a trace.

The police were notified, who followed procedure, filed a case, and launched an investigation, but there’s been no good news as of today.

Xu Chunxia had figured out by now that the so-called act of valor back then was likely fake; it was Zhang Hui secretly targeting her, staging a deliberate act with his accomplices to get close to her, ultimately swindling her of everything she owned.

Because on the day they went to withdraw money, Zhang Hui had repeatedly advised Xu Chunxia to dress down, lest criminals see her as easy prey and rob them after they left the bank.

Xu Chunxia found reason in his words, removed all her jewelry and watch, stashed them in the suitcase, and shoved the suitcase under the rental’s bed.

The result was all her belongings got cleaned out.

About two hundred thousand in cash, plus the gold jewelry and other items; police calculated, approximately two hundred sixty thousand were scammed.

Xu Chunxia was so devastated she almost lost her mind.

She could only hope the police would quickly capture Zhang Hui.

But Zhang Hui clearly targeted her; how could he not have planned his escape thoroughly?

Based on this, even if the police categorized Xu Chunxia’s fraud case as major, it was unlikely to be resolved swiftly. After all, the eighties—unlike modern times—lacked a national surveillance system to assist police investigations.

This would prevent Xu Chunxia from recovering her scammed money anytime soon, yet she still needed to survive in North City, naturally leading her thoughts to the Feng family and Kang Li.

But the Feng family had Old Master Feng and watch-post officers ensuring she couldn’t pass through the courtyard’s gates; even approaches to the post were met with warnings from the officers.

She had no choice but to come to the family compound to block Kang Li.

As for her ex-husband and the Hu family, it wasn’t that she didn’t seek them out; the Hu family lived in the same courtyard as the Feng family, reality dictated she could only fantasize about reaching them.

Besides, when Xu Chunxia took the Hu family’s money and left after the divorce, Mrs. Hu had declared: if Xu Chunxia dared to return in the future, the result would be the same, she’d make living in North City impossible.

Mrs. Hu was actually a rather tolerant woman, but Xu Chunxia exerted all means to divorce, obliterating any fondness Mrs. Hu had for her.

Yes, Mrs. Hu originally had a good impression of Xu Chunxia because, despite her shortcomings, she agreed to give the Hu family a child; in Mrs. Hu’s eyes, Xu Chunxia was at least good.

But Xu Chunxia was incorrigible, acting up incessantly during pregnancy and after childbirth, utterly wearing Mrs. Hu out.

”Why should it matter to me that you’re at the end of your rope?”

Kang Li casually lifted Xu Chunxia from in front of the car: ”Stand here and don’t move, or I won’t mind slapping you twice more!”

After letting go of her hand, Kang Li turned, walked towards the car but was grabbed by Xu Chunxia at the arm: ”Kang Libao, I’ve been scammed, all my savings and valuable possessions were taken! Boo-hoo...”

Tears fell down, and Xu Chunxia cried out loud: ”I don’t even have money for food now, Kang Libao, considering we’re from the same village, can you help me out?”

Kang Li pried Xu Chunxia’s hand off, finally taking a serious look at her this time.

Truth be told, she was startled by Xu Chunxia’s current miserable state.

Not only in bad shape, but her curly hair was also tangled, the dress she wore was wrinkled, lips cracked; although she didn’t look like someone fleeing from calamity, she certainly wasn’t much better off.

Adjusting her thoughts, Kang Li said coolly: ”If you want to return to your hometown, I can help you buy a train ticket, otherwise, I’m sorry I can’t help.”

”I can’t go back now, I need to wait for the case to be solved.” Once the case is solved, her money and jewelry should be recovered, at that time... then she’d return home, at least triumphantly enter the village.

If she went back to the village looking like this now, wouldn’t she be the laughingstock of the villagers?

Going out for years without making anything of herself, returning like a stray dog, the mere thought of being drowned in gossip spit was unbearable.

Kang Li said without much feeling: ”Then find a job to sustain your life.”

”I have no degree and can’t do anything, who’d be willing to let me work?”

Xu Chunxia cried feeling aggrieved and pitiful.

Kang Li seemed to see her as a pretentious white lotus, rolling her eyes slightly, offering advice: ”Can wash dishes and clean right? Otherwise, find work as a nanny, surely you can handle that?”

”Looking like this, can I go wash dishes, clean and serve as a nanny?”
