Chapter 1100: Chapter 1124: He Wants to Leave 10
"So young and already off the rails, kneel down for me!"
As they reached the door, Li Zhenhua’s enraged voice echoed from the living room, accompanied by the sound of things being smashed.
Nianyang and Li Tingyan exchanged a glance and quickly stepped inside.
They saw Li Xinya kneeling on the living room floor, a clear handprint on her face. Li Zhenhua was angrily flushed beside her, and Shang Wan looked equally furious.
The other members of the Li Family stood silently to the side; after all, it’s not their place to intervene when a couple is disciplining their child.
Li Xinya sobbed, "I didn’t do anything wrong. I just don’t want to study anymore. Why must you force me?"
"You ungrateful child, what nonsense are you talking?" Shang Wan, pointing at Li Xinya, was shaking with rage. She scolded harshly, "Do you know how many people out there want to study but can’t afford it? I pay for your tutoring fees and let you learn various skills just so you can become successful. You’re taking this for granted, and now you want to drop out? Have you lost your mind!"
Nianyang nudged Li Tingyan, "Go ask."
After all, she’s just the daughter-in-law and it’s hard for her to say anything.
Li Tingyan walked directly over, "What’s going on?"
Li Zhenhua sat on the sofa, too angry to speak. Shang Wan turned her head and said, "Your dear sister, she’s lost it. All day, she’s up to no good and dreams of becoming a model. A few days ago, she even asked me to send her to an art school!
I didn’t agree, and on the day of her midterms, she skipped class to go to Z City to watch a fashion show. The teacher asked for her parents, but she didn’t say a word. If the teacher hadn’t called today, I wouldn’t have known what she’s been doing at school. Her grades have plummeted to the very bottom!"
Nianyang moved her lips, "Xinya wants to be a model?"
Shang Wan was extremely angry, "Yes, and what’s the use of being a model? Standing on stage, dressed scantily and posing, letting the whole country watch. We’re decent people, how can we let her do something so disgraceful? She’s just trying to ruin our family!"
Li Xinya shouted defiantly, "Being a model is not disgraceful. It’s an art form, and I’m aiming to be a fashion model, not the revealing kind. Mom, don’t speak nonsense!"
"You still dare to shout? Try shouting one more time?"
Shang Wan raised her hand towards Li Xinya, and Nianyang quickly stopped her,
"Mom, calm down. Let’s talk this over."
Shang Wan patted her chest, "This ungrateful child, she’s driving me mad. You tell me, what’s wrong with becoming a teacher? The job sounds better and is way better than any model career!"
Li Xinya’s face turned red with anger, "I don’t want to be a teacher. I want to be a model. I love modeling; it’s my dream!"
"Dream my foot!" Li Zhenhua picked up a cushion and threw it at her, glaring and fuming, "You want to drop out, do you? I’ll let you drop out right now and stay home every day helping your mom make soaps. Let’s see how you become a model then."
Li Xinya started crying, "Dad, you can’t force me like this. I have my own rights too."
"What rights do you think you have? If it weren’t for me paying for your education, you think with your grades you’d even get into high school? I spent a fortune to get you in, and now you talk about dropping out. Do you really think you’re something special?"
Li Zhenhua sneered, and the other members of the Li Family joined in persuading Li Xinya not to be stubborn and to apologize to her parents.
Li Xinya, stubbornly, replied, "I just want to do what I love. I’m not wrong. Why should I apologize?"
