"Hearing you say that, I think that woman doesn’t have a very good character." Song Sa slightly frowned and then asked, "By the way, why did Comrade Kang tell Zhang Lei not to ntion you? This person was saved, and you’re from the sa village. Even though Comrade Kang doesn’t expect anything in return, still..."
Kang Li shook her head, knowing what Song Sa was implying. "I don’t want to have too much involvent with that kind of person." Going out without using one’s brain, trying to dig into a friend’s corner—she looked down on such people.
As Kang Li and Song Sa talked about Chunxia, on the other side, as soon as Xu Chunxia finished her IV drip, Zhang Lei drove her to the embassy.
At around nine in the evening, Zhang Lei returned to the Jiang family estate and saw that Kang Li was still up, watching TV in the living room. He couldn’t help but brief her on the embassy’s arrangents for Xu Chunxia.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Kang Li looked at him sincerely, "You haven’t had dinner, right? I’ll ask the kitchen to make you sothing warm."
"No need, Sister Song must have saved so food for ."
Saying that, Zhang Lei bid farewell and greeted Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya before leaving.
"Lili..."
After Zhang Lei left, Kang Li’s gaze returned to the TV, and at this mont, Jiang Hongfa’s voice ca up.
"What’s up?"
Kang Li glanced at Jiang Hongfa, her eyes filled with confusion.
"eting an acquaintance abroad who is in trouble, you could’ve just brought them ho to stay for a couple of days," said Jiang Hongfa. Kang Li, however, was not annoyed. She replied, "While we are acquaintances, I don’t have a good relationship with her."
Before Jiang Hongfa could respond, Jiang Boya beca curious, "Not a good relationship? If it’s really that bad, would you still care about her life or death?"
"Mr. Jiang, that’s not right." Kang Li replied, "Even if I dislike soone, I can’t just ignore them when soone’s life is at stake."
Jiang Hongfa nodded, "That’s right, Lili, I support your viewpoint."
"Dad! You’re making seem like a cold-hearted person."
Jiang Boya looked at Jiang Hongfa, eyes filled with resentnt.
"That’s not it." Jiang Hongfa defended his son in front of his granddaughter: "Lili, while I agree with your viewpoint, if the person is of bad character and has a grudge against us, then we must not raise a tiger to court disaster."
Kang Li smiled, "I understand."
"Are you sure you understand?" Jiang Boya looked at Kang Li, "Don’t brush off your dad and grandfather. After all, so people only rember when others have wronged them, never the good."
"Do I look stupid to you?"
With a slight arch of her beautiful brow, Kang Li t Jiang Boya’s gaze: "The acquaintance I t today is nad Xu Chunxia. She’s the sa age as and from my village. We grew up together and were good friends before I turned eighteen.
But I didn’t anticipate that her friendship with had ulterior motives. Once I saw her true nature, I cut ties with her. Later, I married and moved to live in North City,
thinking we wouldn’t interact much again. To my surprise, she showed up in North City, always stirring trouble for . It beca annoying, and I had to warn her not to show her face to anymore."
After a slight pause, Kang Li continued, "But I chanced upon her with a foreign man, concerned for her safety, I kindly warned her, only for her not to listen.
And today, I unexpectedly ran into her. I suspect she was tricked into going abroad by the man, only to be abandoned, leaving her in a miserable state, unconscious on the roadside.
Seeing her face, I recognized who she was. Besides, we didn’t have a deep grudge, so naturally, I couldn’t just leave her lying there on the roadside."
After briefly recounting her entanglents with Xu Chunxia, Kang Li naturally said, "So rest assured, Old Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang, I’m not overwheld with sympathy, and I’m not a saint. I saved her simply because we’re from the sa hotown, nothing more."
"Dad, our Lili is mature and precise in handling things, and especially prudent. Tell , isn’t the granddaughter I gave you wonderful?"
Jiang Boya proudly smirked like a peacock at Jiang Hongfa.
"I, as her grandfather, naturally know how wonderful my granddaughter is. No need for your nonsense." Jiang Hongfa rolled his eyes at Jiang Boya, "As for what you’ve done, aren’t you ashad to say that?"
