Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Are You Asking Me to Repay Evil with Kindness? Where’s My Face?

His gaze was tender, simply watching Kang Li, watching his young wife.

”Li Bao!”

Xu Chunxia would not let Kang Li leave so easily. Throwing all caution to the wind, she knelt down right in front of Kang Li. ”I’m begging you, can you just listen to me for a few sentences? Just a few!”

”Are you sick or something?” Kang Li was startled by Xu Chunxia’s sudden kneeling. Regaining composure, she stepped back twice and said indifferently, ”You have three minutes. Stand up now, and say what you have to say quickly.” Turning to Luo Yanqing, Kang Li pointed to a tree a few dozen feet away, ”You wait for me there.”

Luo Yanqing nodded again.

Once he walked near the tree, Kang Li returned her attention to Xu Chunxia and saw that she was still kneeling before her, her tone involuntarily becoming slightly cool, ”Do you expect me to help you up by doing this?”

”No, no.”

Xu Chunxia got up, tears brimming in her eyes. She said, ”You see how I am now, Li Bao. This is what my mom did to me. These past two years, whenever she gets upset, she hits me, scolds me, calls me a loss, says she’ll sooner or later sell me... Li Bao, please help me. I don’t want to be sold to some old bachelor or an idiot to be their wife. I want to leave Aoli Village, leave this place. Can you... can you take me with you?”

”Are you sure you’re not joking? Take you with me, how can I do that? Without a letter of introduction, where could you go? Even with a letter of introduction, if you went outside, how would you solve the problems of food and shelter?” Kang Li looked straight into Xu Chunxia’s eyes, ”Or are you thinking of imposing on me to provide for you?”

”It’s not like that, Li Bao. I don’t have such thoughts. I... I just want you to take me out and help me find someone in North City. I don’t have any special requirements. As long as they can provide me with food and a place to sleep, that’s enough. What do you think?”

In Xu Chunxia’s tearful eyes was a full sense of longing, ”Li Bao, even if you find me a divorced comrade, I am willing.”

”Go home, wash up, and go to sleep. You’ll have everything in your dreams.” She was not a matchmaker, so why should she help find someone? What kind of wishful thinking was this?

Kang Li was speechless.

”Li Bao, you don’t want to help me?”

The longing in Xu Chunxia’s eyes turned into pain, and with a choked voice she said, ”No matter what, we have been friends for many years. Do you really want to hear one day that I was sold by my mom, hear that I couldn’t go on living, that I had to seek death? I admit, I did like Zhou Weimin before, but I knew he was your fiancé. During that time, I didn’t do anything!

Likely, you have heard about what happened between me and Zhou Weimin from your aunt. But by then, you had already ended things with Zhou Weimin. It was because I couldn’t stand Educated Youth Su ruining your marriage arrangement with Zhou Weimin that I thought of stealing Zhou Weimin away to vent your anger. Yet, before I did anything,

I was ruined by Educated Youth Su’s slander. Li Bao... just think of it as pitying me, take me out of the village, find me a marriage match. Isn’t this small request something you can agree to?”

Gazing at Xu Chunxia for a good while, Kang Li still had an indifferent expression, but the corners of her lips curved slightly in a smile that was not quite a smile, ”You’ve got a brain to learn and thereby to broaden your horizons, but you have chosen to feed pigs with it. I wonder why you just assumed and begged in front of me, thinking I would help you with what you call a ’small request.’ Friend, are you practicing repaying evil with kindness? Where’s your pride?”

Without a doubt, Kang Li’s ”friend” was laced with obvious irony.
