Chapter 168 - 163: The Female Supporting Character of the Spiritual Spring Space
"Thank you, Principal. We are aware and will assemble the money as soon as possible," Father Lian said, sounding utterly exhausted and agreeing wearily.
The principal felt uncomfortable looking at him like this but what could he do? When one fails to discipline their daughter, they must face the consequences. This time Ye Qiu was resourceful enough to escape, but have they ever considered what would have happened if she hadn’t?
For every cause, there is an effect; there is no sympathy to be had.
"Student Lian Lan, I must remind you of something. Given that you have a major demerit on record, according to our school’s regulations, you can no longer miss classes or fail subjects. Please be clear about this because otherwise, you really will have to be expelled," the principal warned.
"I understand, Principal," Lian Lan said, her entire body fraught with shame. But she really couldn’t afford to be expelled. If that happened, once she became famous, those unscrupulous reporters would tarnish her name viciously, and she would become the laughingstock of the entire country. She could not let herself fall into such a predicament.
At this moment, Lian Lan was unaware that all the films she had acted in had already cut out her roles. She had no background, no talent agency supporting her, and lacked both outstanding looks and exceptional talent. Relying solely on her foresight of over a decade, who would want her now, especially with a crime background?
"Why did you agree so quickly? Where are we going to get a hundred thousand yuan from?" Father Lian and Lian’s mother came out shoving each other after leaving the principal’s office, with Lian’s mother still taking her anger out on Father Lian.
"So, what do you propose we do? Do you really want to wait for them to take us to court instead of paying them back?" Father Lian was also getting angry, he snapped back, trying to contain his rage.
Accustomed to his submissive nature, Lian’s mother was almost startled by his outburst; she wasn’t scared but became even more infuriated: "You’ve got some nerve, Lian Dashan, to shout at me! How unlucky I must be to have followed you—a good-for-nothing who only knows how to yell at his wife. And your daughter is just like you. If things don’t work out, let’s just get a divorce," she said.
