Chapter 164 - 159: The Female Supporting Character of the Spiritual Spring Space
"Mom, I’m just a newcomer, how much payment can I really get?" Lian Lan, exhausted, leaned against the tree trunk and said dryly.
"I heard it from your cousin, your web series is quite popular now, how can you have no money?" Lian’s mother disbelievingly said, raising her voice, "Your aunt recently bought a gold bracelet and keeps showing off in front of me, how is it that after all the effort I spent raising you, you now that you are successful wouldn’t even buy me a gold bracelet?"
"Mom, my expenses in the entertainment industry are also very high, what money can I save?" Lian Lan said helplessly, and couldn’t help but recall her previous life.
But apart from Li Ziye, Lian’s mother also played a part in her tragic past. Lian’s mother loves vanity, yet neither she nor her husband had significant capabilities, spending their lives as minor civil servants at a government office. Fortunately, since her daughter was smart and beautiful, she pinned all her hopes on Lian Lan.
After graduating, Lian Lan married Li Ziye, a rich second generation, and Lian’s mother felt as if she had struck gold, quickly boasting about how great her son-in-law Li Ziye was among relatives and friends; how could she let Lian Lan divorce easily?
Plus, since Li Ziye was indeed willing to spend money for Lian’s mother’s vanity, even though he didn’t buy houses or cars, bags and jewelry were in plenty, and people flattered her whenever she went out. If Lian Lan divorced, it would all go bust and she would become a laughingstock.
Moreover, since the Li family’s wealth was controlled by Li’s parents, if Lian Lan divorced, let alone getting a share of the wealth, even the things the Li family gave to the Lian Family would have to be returned. How could Lian’s mother accept that? Therefore, even if her daughter was mistreated by the Li family, Lian’s mother did not allow Lian Lan to divorce.
"You didn’t even come home for the whole summer vacation, was it just for filming this one web series?" Lian’s mother disbelievingly said, "My good girl, I know the expenses in the entertainment industry are high, but those female celebrities’ dresses cost tens of thousands, you just rent clothes or buy those replicas. Mom saw them online, the quality isn’t bad, and besides, how much could a gold bracelet possibly cost, and it even holds its value, much more worth it than buying clothes."
