Chapter 1658: Chapter 1296: The Fourth Part
Ignoring your own son, wholeheartedly pleasing your stepchildren, saying you’ll kick your own son out of the house and doing so, and now wanting this son to return to your side, is this the attitude of a mother toward her own child?
Kang Li sneered in her heart: Self-important, do you see your son as a dog, to order them around as you please?
Even so, don’t dogs have tempers too?
Fang Su: "Feng Yi listens to you."
"What does that prove?" Kang Li’s face showed not a trace of emotion. She said, "Since the time I accidentally saved Xiao Yi, I have only ever treated him as a little brother, never expecting him to listen to me about anything. I have never asked him to do anything, and that remains true today. If you want Xiao Yi to return to the Feng family, then talk to him yourself, please don’t involve me."
"Are you happy?"
Fang Su suddenly said this.
"Happy about what?"
Kang Li looked puzzled.
"My daughter doesn’t recognize me, my son doesn’t recognize me, and I’m sick, do you think this is retribution?" Fang Su stared at Kang Li, trying to spot anything unusual in her expression.
However, she saw nothing.
Raising her index finger and shaking it slightly, Kang Li said calmly, "You’re overthinking. I have my own principles and would never take pleasure in another’s misfortune, much less push someone when they’re down."
Kang Li’s tone was light, devoid of emotion.
"Did Feng Yi go out with his partner?"
Fang Su steered the conversation back to Feng Yi.
"Lady Feng can ask Xiao Yi herself if she wants to know." Kang Li glanced at her watch. "I have to pick up a child soon, is Lady Fang leaving?"
"I need to have a good talk with Feng Yi."
The implication was that she wouldn’t leave just yet.
Kang Li’s expression didn’t change, but her words were unforgiving: "Are you planning to wait at my house for Feng Yi to come back?"
Fang Su said nothing, but by sitting still, she indirectly answered.
"Since Lady Fang wants to wait in my house, may I ask you a few questions? You won’t mind, will you?" Kang Li made eye contact with Fang Su, her gaze calm and placid, yet as if penetrating into Fang Su’s heart.
Fang Su didn’t respond for a while.
So Kang Li asked directly, "The world holds biases against stepmothers, thinking none of them are good, but not only is Lady Feng a good stepmother, she seems overly good. Can you explain why that is? Ignoring your biological child to focus all your attention on stepchildren, what were you thinking doing that?"
"..."
Fang Su opened her mouth but didn’t utter a word for a long time.
"When it was clearly the stepchild who hurt someone over a romantic matter, why did Lady Fang accuse Xiao Yi in front of the police, making your biological son take the fall for the stepchild?"
"..."
"When Xiao Yi finally returned from the farm, why did you say hurtful things and kick him out of the house?" Kang Li steadily gazed at Fang Su. "Is it hard to answer, Lady Fang?"
"You’re a stepmother; you should know it’s hard to be one. I was just trying to secure my position so that Feng Yi could live better at home."
Fang Su finally spoke, and upon hearing her words, Kang Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "Is that so? But you falsely accused Xiao Yi, making him take the fall for your stepchild. How do you explain that?"
"..." Fang Su thought that Kang Li was meddling.
"You’re being generous with other people’s matters to enhance your greatness as a stepmother, but have you considered how deeply your actions hurt Xiao Yi?"
Kang Li’s serene voice carried a hint of coldness: "That year he was only sixteen. How could you bring yourself to frame Xiao Yi, to watch him being taken away by the police?
During his time at the farm, did you ever visit him? You didn’t, and when Xiao Yi returned home with a limp and looking a little unkempt, you showed disgust, feeling ashamed of him, and you drove this biological child out of your house.
Lady Fang, if you were Xiao Yi, treated like this by your own mother, how would you feel?"
Fang Su: "It’s all in the past, I don’t think there’s any need to bring it up again."
Kang Li laughed again after hearing her words, "Is that so? But you falsely accused Xiao Yi, making him take the fall for your stepchild. How do you explain that?"
"..." Fang Su thought that Kang Li was meddling.
"You’re being generous with other people’s matters to enhance your greatness as a stepmother, but have you considered how deeply your actions hurt Xiao Yi?"
Kang Li’s serene voice carried a hint of coldness: "That year he was only sixteen. How could you bring yourself to frame Xiao Yi, to watch him being taken away by the police?
During his time at the farm, did you ever visit him? You didn’t, and when Xiao Yi returned home with a limp and looking a little unkempt, you showed disgust, feeling ashamed of him, and you drove this biological child out of your house.
Lady Fang, if you were Xiao Yi, treated like this by your own mother, how would you feel?"
Fang Su: "It’s all in the past, I don’t think there’s any need to bring it up again."
"Some things can fade with time and become fleeting, but some things will never be forgotten despite the passage of time. Especially the harm a mother inflicts upon her child, it leaves a permanent scar in the heart of this child, which, when touched, will bleed anew, and the pain will reach the bone!"
Ignoring the change in Fang Su’s complexion, Kang Li continued, "Lady Fang, remember clearly that some harms, once done, require a lifetime to heal! As a mother, you’ve caused so much harm to Xiao Yi from childhood to now, and from Xiao Yi’s standpoint, you are undoubtedly the one who caused him the most harm in the Feng family. Do you know why?"
Without waiting for Fang Su to answer, Kang Li provided the answer herself: "Because in that family, you are Xiao Yi’s closest relative, the only one he can rely on.
Yet, you didn’t let yourself be his support; instead, you became one of the perpetrators. Such being the case, even if you spent a lifetime trying to make up for the harm you’ve caused Xiao Yi, it wouldn’t be enough for me. Given these circumstances, where do you get the confidence to make demands of Xiao Yi?"
"I told you those were things of the past. Do you insist on repeating them in front of me as a way to force me to leave, don’t you?"
