Jiang Baige returned home and was finally freed from internship, studies and job hunting.

Every day she stayed at home peacefully as her little princess, leading a fairy-like life with everything provided for her.

Apart from saving your papers and reading some papers and literature, you don't have to worry about anything else.

Well, not entirely.

She also had a hidden worry in her heart: because her family members are still the same people, who are gentle, considerate, understanding and tolerant to her now, but in the previous life, they ended up estranged from each other until they died.

Although she had never dreamed of the scene after her death in the past few years, she could guess that her family would not know the news until very late after her death.

She couldn't let such a tragedy happen again.

However, even if she wanted to delay it and was unwilling to face it, she was afraid that they would not listen to her explanation and directly sentence her to "death penalty".

But now it is the end of the first semester of her third year of graduate school and she is about to graduate. Even if she wants to be an ostrich, she has to ask her parents whether they agree.

But the old ginger is still spicy, and they seem to be more patient than Jiang Baige.

Until a few years ago, a phone call from editor Zhou Zhou broke the peace.

Jiang Baige's parents went out to work that day, and she was home alone. She slept until almost ten o'clock and was in the kitchen preparing to heat up the breakfast her father had left in the pot when her cell phone rang.

Although the communication with the editor is mainly through online chatting, phone calls are occasionally made when it comes to major matters such as the sale of copyrights.

Because she was busy with work, Jiang Baige turned on the hands-free function directly.

Zhou Zhou got straight to the point and told her that the film and television copyright of the patricide novel had been signed. The price was not high, but Jiang Baige still got more than 100,000 yuan.

If Jiang Baige feels there is no problem, and waits for the copyright department to draft the contract, the contract can be signed after the new year.

This price is indeed lower than that packaged book about ancient times. I don’t know which great person helped me get this. Jiang Baige silently said “Thank you, Goddess of Wealth” three times in her heart, and then said, “Well, OK, I’ll trouble you.”

Zhou Zhou mentioned another thing: "By the way, the copyright lady also asked me to ask you, if the film and television company wants you to be a screenwriter consultant, can you spare the time?"

"Do you have money?"

Zhou Zhou burst out laughing - "Baixile"'s love of money will never fall apart. She thought that since it was her "child", Jiang Baige would definitely agree.

She still "overestimated" human nature.

"I didn't say anything specific about this, but it should be possible to discuss it... But it's not ruled out that I might ask you to be a consultant just to save some money."

"Why don't you ask when you sign the contract? Even if it's a little less?"

To be honest, she really wanted to go - after all, it was her own child. But if it was just working for nothing, her proletarian soul would cry out: No!

Zhou Zhou couldn't stop laughing on the other end and took the time to say "OK".

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Baige prepared breakfast and walked out leisurely with the plate in hand. Unexpectedly, she met her mother head-on. She was so scared that she almost smashed the cups and plates.

"Mom? Why are you back?"

"From what I heard, you don't want me to come back?" Bai Yunqing raised her eyebrows and stopped pretending, "How many secrets are you hiding from mom, little girl?"

As soon as she said this, Jiang Baige knew that her mother had heard everything.

Then there was no need for her to hide it.

"Actually, I came back from vacation this time just to tell you about this."

"What's that? Your novel is going to be made into a TV series?"

Jiang Baige didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she actually felt that there was excitement in her mother’s eyes.

Well, she must have seen it wrong: "No... I want to talk to you about my future development direction after graduation."

Bai Yunqing nodded: "Actually, your father and I have always wanted to talk to you about this, but we were afraid that you wouldn't want to talk about it. So why not do it today, tonight?"

"So... why did you come back halfway?"

"Oh, nothing." Bai Yunqing took out a large bag of Swiss chocolate from her bag and stuffed it into Jiang Baige's arms. "Your aunt Yueyue just came back from Switzerland. She knows you like chocolate, so she brought it to me today. I thought you like it, so I came back to give it to you when I sent her back."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the entrance: "I didn't expect to hear such good news... White Dove."

Jiang Baige stood up straight unconsciously when her mother suddenly called her name solemnly: "Hmm?"

"Just now, when I heard you discussing your work with others and the way you bargained... I suddenly felt very emotional, just... well. Anyway, Mom wants to tell you that no matter what you do, as long as you are happy, I will support you."

Jiang Baige walked over and Bai Yunqing touched her head: "Oh, really, you are taller and stronger than my mom..."

She patted Jiang Baige on the shoulder, put on her shoes, and went back to work.

Jiang Baige sat at the dining table, eating eggs with chocolate, feeling a special feeling in her heart.

The feelings are complicated.

Because the look of "I'm always proud of you" that my mother gave just now was so real.

But in the previous life, Jiang Baige still remembered the way they resolutely said, "It's up to you, you've grown up, and we can't control you anymore."

It is because I remember that I have never dared to be honest with you.

But what about this time? Can we?

Jiang Baige did nothing the whole morning and just sat on the sofa watching TV, but she felt uneasy.

At noon, my mother came back with the packed meals - Bai Yunqing didn't know how to cook either, and the mother and daughter had inherited the habit.

"How about you tell me first? Then we can see which ones we can tell your dad and which ones she doesn't need to know?"

Jiang Baige was a little surprised and didn't know why her mother said that.

"Your dad seems to be in menopause these past few years. He has become very worried. You know, he is a worrier by nature, but he keeps his worries to himself. I'm afraid that he will worry about you and end up hurting himself."

"He's worried about me? What does he have to worry about me for?"

It's really incomprehensible.

Bai Yunqing waved her hands: "A man's heart is like a needle in the sea, who knows. Anyway, you just listen to me... If you don't want to find a job after graduation, and just want to write full-time and make a name for yourself in this field, then..."

"What then?"

"Then don't tell your dad. Just say you found a job and settled down. If you need living expenses, mom will give it to you."

Jiang Baige knew that the financial power of her family was in the hands of her mother.

but--

"Is this okay?"

"What can't you do?"

Bai Yunqing's tone was mixed with disdain, "How come you, a person born in the 90s, are not as smart as me, a person born in the 60s?"

"As long as you don't come back to look for a job, how would he know what you were doing outside?"

Who knew that before Jiang Baige could say anything, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "What is it that you don't want me to know?"
