Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1716: Chapter 1312: Didn’t Expect You to Be So Perceptive_3

Xu Chunxia refused to accept that Kang Li was better than her, not one bit willing to accept being compared to dirt by Kang Li. Suddenly, she grabbed Kang Li’s arms: ”Tell me, you were lying to me about all that, right?”

Kang Li looked at Xu Chunxia as if watching a madwoman die: ”I lied to you? Why would I lie to you? Who do you think you are to me? Why would I need to lie to you!”

So ridiculous!

”We’re the same age, you just went to college and read a few more books, what makes you so competent?”

Xu Chunxia shook her head. She couldn’t believe Kang Li actually had the ability to build a road for the village, to build that wide and smooth avenue, to build a primary school for the village, and to open a factory or establish an Ecological Recycling Park.

But she also knew, most likely Kang Li wasn’t lying to her.

Because, based on what she knew of the person in front of her, Kang Li disdained lying about these things and had no need to!

It was precisely because she was clear about this that Xu Chunxia found it hard to accept all that Kang Li had done back home.

Both women, the same age, why such a big difference?

Was she born to be hated, while Kang Libao was born with all the luck?

Xu Chunxia’s eyes reddened, her heart aching in that instant. She sniffled and asked, ”Do you just really look down on me?”

”Didn’t expect you to have that much self-awareness.”

Kang Li showed an expression of surprise, entirely on purpose.

”Why?”

Xu Chunxia wanted to know the reason.

”You don’t know?”

Kang Li raised an eyebrow in return.

Xu Chunxia stayed silent.

”Since you want to know so badly, I can tell you.”

Kang Li cleared her throat and, looking relaxed, said, ”You’re fake. You don’t know how to keep your feet on the ground, you’re vain, and especially selfish. That’s it.”

She spread her hands, raising one eyebrow: ”Did I say anything wrong?”

”How am I fake? How am I not grounded? You say I’m vain, don’t you have vanity? You call me selfish—aren’t you selfish yourself?”

Xu Chunxia retorted, refusing to accept Kang Li’s judgment of her.

”You really don’t know?”

Kang Li laughed and said, ”You like Zhou Weimin. You could have confessed to him before he and I got engaged. Even if you fell for him after we were engaged, you could have been honest with me about it—who knows, maybe I would’ve let you have him. But what did you do? You acted like we were friends in public, while secretly trying to steal him—tell me, isn’t that low? Isn’t that fake?”

Xu Chunxia’s face turned red, her lips moving but not a single word coming out.

”And about you not being grounded—no degree, no real skills, but once you left your original family, why not find a real job and support yourself? Fine, you became a housekeeper for Mrs. Fang, which was honestly a decent job, suited for you. But your biggest mistake was letting your vanity blind you, forgetting you already had parents...”

Kang Li hadn’t finished when Xu Chunxia interrupted, ”It was that Fang woman who made up such a realistic story—if it were you, wouldn’t you have been deceived?”

”Xu Chunxia, have you not looked in the mirror?”

Kang Li sneered: ”You four sisters all look a lot like Aunt Xu—whether it’s you, your older sister, or your younger sisters, especially you. Anyone seeing you would know you’re her biological daughter, but as soon as a pie fell from the sky, you ignored your real family and ran straight into Fang’s lies. Isn’t that pure vanity?

Honestly, I don’t believe that after Mrs. Fang claimed you as her daughter, you never doubted it. But you still chose to go along with it, and out of greed, you got into a relationship with a foreigner you didn’t even understand, and then were reckless enough to follow him abroad. Xu Chunxia, honestly, why should anyone respect you? And I’m not blind—you and I have completely different values, so why would I give myself a hard time by getting involved with you?”

”Kang Libao! You... you call me out for all this, but are you really that great yourself?”

Xu Chunxia’s face darkened. ”If you and that Feng woman had recognized each other earlier, would I have ever had the chance to be mistaken for her daughter, to be used by her, to meet that devil, to be taken abroad and almost lose my life?”

Kang Li looked innocent: ”So you’re blaming me? What can I do? Back then, I didn’t even know I was related to Mrs. Fang. Even if I had known, with my personality, I wouldn’t have cared about her—and there wouldn’t have been any ’early recognition’ like you said.”

At this, Kang Li waved her hand: ”Alright, I need to go check on my grandfather and the kids. I’m not going to stand here arguing with you. If you don’t want to be looked down on for the rest of your life, go be an ordinary, decent person—if not, just don’t bother coming back to our village.”

”Whether I come back or not is none of your business!”

Xu Chunxia’s face was full of anger.

”You’re right, it’s none of my business. Just think of me as meddling.”

Kang Li turned, heading for the entrance of the villa where Jiang Hongfa lived, but as soon as she took a step, she stopped again, looked back at Xu Chunxia and said, ”Your dress is beautiful, but it really doesn’t suit your vibe. To put it simply, it just makes you seem pretty cheap.”
