Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: Are You Trying to Goad Me?

Kang Li nodded, ”To sing Beijing Opera, specifically the top female role in opera, and even found the Mei School, overall, this master is especially famous!”

”I’ve heard Master Mei sing quite well, according to what I’ve heard, whenever Master Mei performed, the theater was always packed!” Cai Xiufen exclaimed.

Captain Kang said, ”Then let’s do as Yangyang suggested. Let him go for the Cultural Work Troupe audition tomorrow. If he gets in, remember to study well when he has free time, and aim for good results in the college entrance exam.”

As he spoke, Captain Kang added, ”After I return to our hometown, I’ll send over the textbooks used by you, your brother, and Yangyang during middle and high school.”

”Dad, there’s no need for all that trouble. I can look at the local recycling station some other day; I should be able to gather enough...” Kang Li was saying, when Captain Kang interrupted, ”Why spend that money? We have your textbooks at home, your mother has kept them well. Once I get back, I’ll have your older brother pack them and send them to the town post office. It won’t be long before you receive them here.”

Kang Li suddenly realized something, her eyes widening in disbelief as she looked at Captain Kang, ”Dad... Dad, what did you just say? Send me the middle and high school textbooks too? Dad, you couldn’t possibly be thinking of having me, my brother, and Yangyang take the college entrance exam together, could you?”

”Why not take it?”

Captain Kang looked puzzled.

Cai Xiufen said, ”Exactly, Li Bao, how could you not take the college entrance exam? In our family, you have the best academic performance. Your mother and I are still hoping you can get into a prestigious university and bring honor to our village!”

”There’s no need...”

Before coming to this world, she had been educated among elite family circles from a young age, learned plenty, and even studied abroad. Later, she took over the family conglomerate, exhausting both mind and body, and died unexpectedly at a young age.

In this lifetime, she truly didn’t want to strive for anything.

Dwen Dwen suddenly came online, ”Miss, your parents are really kind toward you, how could you disappoint them? Besides, Miss, the neighbor, Comrade Su, started reviewing the middle school textbooks since last winter...”

Kang Li asked, ”You went over to the next door?”

Dwen Dwen replied, ”I was just strolling around, but I did hear Comrade Su saying that she must get into the best university in North City.

Miss, I know that both you and Comrade Su are stepmothers to the children. If Comrade Su succeeds in entering a prestigious university through hard work, her children will definitely be thrilled and proud of their stepmother. You can imagine how much esteem that would bring them when going out. But you...”

”If you, Miss, either don’t take the exam or don’t perform as well as Comrade Su, do you think Ruirui and the others will be happy?

They might even be ridiculed by their peers, comparing you to Comrade Su. If something like that happens, think of how uncomfortable Ruirui and the others would feel? Miss, could you really bear that?

Moreover... Comrade Su’s husband and brother-in-law work together in the same research institute, and he reports directly to her brother-in-law. If Comrade Su gets into a prestigious university and you either don’t participate in the college entrance exam or perform poorly, do you think your brother-in-law could hold his head high in front of Comrade Su’s husband?”

Kang Li said, ”You’re provoking me.”

Dwen Dwen replied, ”Absolutely not, I’m just mentioning possible scenarios to you, Miss~”

”Li Bao! What are you thinking?” Captain Kang frowned, ”Since there’s a chance to go to college, why wouldn’t you want to try?”
