"You’re absolutely right, to me, five or ten thousand is like a drop in the bucket. I could even take out eighty or a hundred thousand. But I’m not your mother or father, and I don’t owe you anything. Where do you get the nerve to ask me for so much?"
Kang Li didn’t want to waste any more words with Xu Chunxia. Her tone was cold: "I’ll say it one last time—if you want to go back to your hometown, seeing as we’re from the same village, I’ll buy you a train ticket. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t help you."
Xu Chunxia kept silent, just looking at Kang Li with a face full of resentment.
Kang Li: "Two minutes to decide."
"Kang Libao, are you really this heartless? We grew up together! Even if I did things that let you down, it’s been so many years. Are you still going to hold a grudge against me?"
Xu Chunxia’s voice took on a sobbing note: "Would I have come crawling to you if I hadn’t been swindled out of everything? Kang Libao, can’t you be a little kinder? If you don’t help me, how is that any different from letting someone die right in front of you?"
Kang Li: "I’m not a good person. I don’t have that kind of kindness you’re talking about, Xu Chunxia. Instead of trying to play the victim in front of me, you might as well hurry up and find yourself a job. Oh right, if you pull at my car door again or stand in front of my car, don’t blame me for calling the police."
What nerve, thinking she could morally blackmail her?
With a cold sneer in her heart, Kang Li figured the two minutes were about up and said, "Last thirty seconds."
"Kang Libao... if you don’t help me, aren’t you afraid I’ll go back to the village and tell everyone you’re a total penny-pincher who wouldn’t give a cent?"
Xu Chunxia thought this could force Kang Li to loan her the money, but to her surprise, Kang Li just gave a chilly "heh" and said, "Do whatever you want."
"You’re so cold-blooded! Kang Libao, why do you have to be this cold-blooded?"
Xu Chunxia wiped the tears from her face and glared at Kang Li: "Wasn’t it just that I wanted to be with Zhou Weimin all those years ago? Do you have to hold a grudge until now? Besides, Zhou Weimin had already broken off the engagement with you at that point, and breaking it off wasn’t even my fault to begin with! You’ve hated me all these years—how is that fair to me?"
At that, Kang Li didn’t respond. She said flatly, "Time’s up."
Turning around, Kang Li walked towards her car.
For a moment, Xu Chunxia seemed to go mad, lunging from behind to stop Kang Li from leaving.
But before her hand could even touch Kang Li’s arm, Kang Li flipped her with an over-the-shoulder throw.
