Chapter 459 - Scolded off (2/2)

She could foresee the outcome of backing down to them as those jerks were the ones who created and normalized the casting couch in showbiz. Many new celebrities in Huangpu had entered into private deals with them, and if she went to seek help from them now, she could not think of any other outcome besides being asked to offer her body in exchange.

But Chai Zhiying was adamant and still tried to convince Su Li. “Li Li, we’re in a tough situation now. Without their support, you will be annihilated in this ongoing public discussion,” she argued.

“Forget it. There’s no room for discussion in this matter.”

Su Li replied as she put down the bowl and spoon and stood up defiantly.

Chai Zhiying wanted to say something but decided not to speak in the end. Instead, she let out a long sigh as she did not know what else to do now. She knew Su Li’s personality better than anyone—she was incredibly stubborn, which was her bane. As far as Chai Zhiying was concerned, without the company’s support, it was akin to ending her career with her own hands.

“Daughter, let’s listen to Zhiying. After all, she’s your…”

Wang Wanjing tried to persuade Su Li, but her voice trailed off when she met with Su Li’s cold eyes, and she did not finish her sentence.

Su Li had already made efforts to forgive her gradually, and allowing her to stay was proof of that. For a mother who drugged her daughter, what right did she have in trying to educate her?

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“It must be daddy,” Su Xiaobei cried.

Aunt Li went to answer the door, and as Su Xiaobei had guessed, it was none other than Xiao Luo.

Su Xiaobei was thrilled and shouted out, “Daddy!”

As Xiao Luo smiled and approached her, two individuals were glaring at him, and their hatred of the man was evident. Chai Zhiying was one of them, and Wang Wanjing was the other.

Xiao Luo chose to ignore them and sat down beside Su Xiaobei, playfully touching her tiny nose. He looked at Su Li and said, “You guys are talking about what’s going on online, right?”

Had Zhang Dashan not told him during their phone call, he would not have known that such chaos was stirring on the internet.

“Hmm,” Su Li whispered as she nodded her head.

Su Canye, accustomed to the good life, felt the need to pitch in. “Brother-in-law, what a coincidence that you’re here. Ah, it looks like my sister probably cannot overcome this challenge on her own. I think you’ll have to start taking care of her money matters in the future,” he said, “If she can no longer make any more money, it would be unimaginable—my mom and I will starve to death!”

BANG!

Su Li could not tolerate it anymore and slammed the table. She pointed at the door and yelled, “Su Canye, you have ten seconds to get the hell out of here with your mother!”

“Sis, I am joking, really, you have no sense of humor at all. Look, I just scolded an idiot online who was defaming you—I even scolded every single ancestor of his, and he couldn’t take it. I had scolded him off the internet! This is really relieving, just like how last year there was an online flaming between Sanqian Luoshui and Jia Zhenyi.” Su Canye said as he put the phone before her eyes to flaunt his victory.

“Cough…”

With the mention of the handle name, “Sanqian Luoshui,” Xiao Luo choked, for he was the account owner after all.
