Chapter 1101: Chapter 1125: He Wants to Leave 11
"Hey, you little brat..."
Li Zhenhua, furious, swung his arm, ready to slap her again.
"Who said you were wrong?"
Nianyang’s clear and melodious voice rang out, freezing Li Zhenhua in his tracks.
Everyone else looked at her too. Li Xinya, with red eyes, watched Nianyang squatting in front of her, speaking in a very calm voice,
"Xinya, it’s indeed your right to have dreams, but you shouldn’t misuse the efforts Mom and Dad have spent nurturing you all these years to act recklessly. And you certainly shouldn’t just drop out without considering the consequences. That’s very irresponsible behavior, you know?"
Li Xinya, still angry and feeling misunderstood, replied forcefully, "You, you’re all just talking without feeling the pain. Not a single one of you understands me. I’ve never liked studying, I want to be a model."
"Li Xinya, how are you speaking to your sister-in-law? Do you need a good beating?"
Li Tingyan shot a glare at her, making Li Xinya tremble instantly.
Nianyang patted her shoulder, "Xinya, you don’t want to study but want to be a model. It’s like saying you don’t want to work hard but dream of having a million-dollar fortune. How can there be rewards without equivalent effort? Is there something so good in this world?"
Li Xinya pressed her lips tightly together. Nianyang smiled, "Put it this way, if you drop out now, without even a high school diploma, how can you become a model?"
"I want to go to an art school!" Li Xinya said, "There, I can choose a specialty, I can learn."
"The art school you’re talking about, is it one of those third-rate schools that aren’t even considered universities?"
Nianyang’s gaze turned slightly chilly, "Xinya, do you honestly think just by going to an art school, you can be a model?"
Li Xinya blushed deeply and said, "I know you look down on me, but I must go to study. I’m not ugly, I’m tall, why can’t I be a model when people worse than me can?"
Nianyang chuckled lightly, "You can, sure. But do you know what it truly means to be a model? Thinking you can wear beautiful clothes and parade around gloriously—do you know the price you have to pay to be a model?"
Li Xinya insisted, "No matter what the price, I can overcome it!"
Nianyang inquired, "Do you really want to be a model?"
"Yes!"
Nianyang nodded, "Tomorrow there’s a fashion show at the xx exhibition. I’ll take you to experience what being a model feels like. Then you decide if you really want to be one."
"Really, Saozi?" Li Xinya was extremely excited, "Tomorrow there’s your show; can I walk the runway?"
"Yangyang, this..." Shang Wan looked over hesitantly.
She didn’t really want her daughter Xinya to become a model.
Nianyang reassured with a smile, "Mom, leave it to me. It’s all clothes I’ve designed, all properly arranged."
Hearing this, Shang Wan no longer objected. Since Nianyang knew what she was doing, she felt reassured.
Back in the room, Li Tingyan hesitated, "Do you really want to train Xinya to be a model?"
Nianyang raised an eyebrow, "Why, don’t you support it?"
Li Tingyan rubbed his nose, "Not exactly, it’s just that modeling exposes one to the public too much, and Xinya’s still too young for it."
"Really didn’t expect you to be so conservative."
Nianyang grinned mischievously, "What if I become a model? With my great figure, I’d surely look good, right?"
"Don’t you dare." Li Tingyan imagined Nianyang in beautiful clothes strutting before the public, and his lips turned pale,
"I’d break your leg."
Hmph!
Old-fashioned!
