Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1221: Chapter 2222:

”I’m not sure about the details, but she used to be involved with a foreign man.” At this point, Kang Li paused for a moment before continuing, ”Do you remember the man who shamelessly talked to me at the mall that day?”

Song Sa nodded.

”He’s the foreign man I just mentioned.” Kang Li knew Xu Chunxia wasn’t very bright, but she never expected her to be bold enough to follow a foreigner across the sea to a foreign country, ending up in such a miserable state.

Song Sa: ”From what we saw earlier, that female comrade was most likely abandoned!”

”Maybe.”

Kang Li maintained a calm expression and didn’t say anything more as she saw Zhou Heng sit back in the passenger seat.

The two black cars that were originally following behind had to send Xu Chunxia to the hospital, so the bodyguards in one of the cars got out and squeezed into the other car.

Only the driver remained in one car, driving Zhang Lei and Xu Chunxia to a nearby hospital.

More than half an hour later.

Xu Chunxia woke up on the hospital bed.

”You’re awake?!”

Zhang Lei walked in from outside the ward, his expression stern as he locked eyes with Xu Chunxia. ”Once your fever is down, I’ll take you to our country’s embassy, and the comrades there will arrange for you to return home.”

”Where... where is this?”

”The hospital.”

”Who are you?”

Xu Chunxia looked very weak, staring at Zhang Lei with a hint of confusion in her eyes. ”Did you save me?”

”It’s not important who I am, and it’s not important if I saved you. Just focus on your IV.” Zhang Lei placed the bread and milk in his hand on the cabinet beside the hospital bed.

Xu Chunxia was terribly hungry. She turned her head towards the bread and milk on the cabinet, and her stomach growled as she couldn’t help but swallow.

Noticing Zhang Lei’s gaze on her, Xu Chunxia’s cheeks turned red, and she opened her mouth to explain, ”I haven’t had a proper meal in a long time.”

Zhang Lei said nothing. He picked up the bread, tore open the package, and then handed it to Xu Chunxia’s hand that was free from the IV.

”Tha... thank you! My name is Jiang Lei, and what’s your name?”

After taking a bite of the bread, Xu Chunxia’s eyes shifted to the milk again.

Zhang Lei pressed his thin lips together, inserted a straw into the milk, and then helped Xu Chunxia sit up against the headboard.

”I’ll leave the milk here. You can drink it yourself.”

”Oh.”

Xu Chunxia nodded.

After eating and drinking her fill, tears streamed down her face as she choked up, ”I was tricked into coming abroad by a foreigner. He treated me well in our country and even said he would marry me. But once he got me to his country, he started hitting and scolding me and even locked me up...”

Zhang Lei stood silently on the side, expressionless, as he listened to Xu Chunxia’s sobbing story.

”... After I escaped through the window, I met someone from our country on the street. He said he would help me get home, so I followed him, but it turned out he was a fraud too,

His family not only took all my valuables but also made me serve their whole family like a maid, sobbing... I thought I was going to die by the roadside. Luckily you saved me. Don’t worry, when I get back home, I’ll make sure my mom thanks you properly... My stepfather is a big official in North City; my family lives in a small building within the compound...”

Xu Chunxia cried sorrowfully, tears streaming down her face.

As Zhang Lei listened, he felt something was amiss. When Xu Chunxia paused her sobbing, he said, ”I need to step out for a bit.”

Jiang family estate.

Kang Li had just stepped into the living room when she heard the landline phone ringing. The next moment, she saw Jiang Boya waving her over, ”It’s for you.”

Without thinking much, Kang Li walked over and took the receiver from Jiang Boya, ”Hello...”

At the sound of Zhang Lei’s voice, Kang Li’s expression changed slightly, almost indiscernibly, ”Go ahead, I’m listening... don’t worry about it,

If she doesn’t want to go back to her hometown, let her be... Yes, just say that to the comrades at the embassy. As long as she’s back in the country, whatever she decides to do afterward is her own business... Mm, that’s it, is there anything else? Alright, then I’ll hang up!”

”You needed the embassy’s help with something?”

Jiang Boya looked puzzled, his tone slightly sour, ”Can’t dad help you?”

”I saw an acquaintance faint on the roadside on the way back, so I asked Comrade Zhang to take her to the nearest hospital for treatment, and then to send her to our country’s embassy to have the embassy’s comrades send her back home.”

Kang Li honestly explained to Jiang Boya.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Boya felt wronged, ”Dad could also help you send her back.”

”I didn’t think of asking you at the time, and besides, she was likely brought here through improper channels. If I really asked for your help, how would you handle it?”

Kang Li raised an eyebrow at Jiang Boya, waiting leisurely for his answer.

”This...”

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Boya smiled and said, ”Isn’t it simple? Just put her on a cargo ship, and she’ll naturally return to the country.”

Kang Li asked, ”What if something happens to her midway, then what?”

Jiang Boya: ”...” He stayed silent for a long time.

”Nothing to say, right?” Kang Li smiled, her lips curving slightly, ”The embassy’s comrades will find it much more convenient to handle this matter. Moreover, the acquaintance I mentioned... I don’t actually have a good relationship with her. Not leaving her to fend for herself on the roadside is already kind enough, so how could I trouble Mr. Jiang with her?!”
