Surprise! The wife of a top star is actually a Nobel Prize winner

My dad frowned. "So, what are your plans after you terminate your contract? Do you want to continue working in this industry? Is the termination fee enough?"

Li Xiao was having trouble speaking and didn't know how to start.

Li Wen, Li's father, saw his expression and knew the money was not enough. "Is there anything you can't tell your parents? Tell me how much money you need, or what your plans are?"

"Dad, Mom, I... I'm still short of money to pay the penalty for breach of contract. I want to sell the house in Xingheyuan. Is that okay? When I get the film job and get paid, I'll transfer the money back to you."

Ye Zhijin, the mother, was a little surprised. "Xiaoxiao, that's for your wedding, you can't buy it. How much do you need? Let your father and I make up for it."

Li Wen also disagreed with selling the house.

Chinese people are naturally very concerned about houses.

Besides, the house was very affordable when I bought it.

Today, house prices have more than doubled.

Although they will make a lot of money by selling it, at the same time, buying a new one will be more expensive than it is now.

The housing prices are rising every day.

It was precisely because Li Xiao knew all this that he found it difficult to speak.

Now I hear my mother saying the same old thing again, saying that it was the wedding house she prepared for herself.

I was a little annoyed for a moment.

His mother had often used this house to pressure him to get married, both openly and covertly.

"Mom, do you think I can get married soon? Maybe I won't get married in my lifetime. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave this house there?"

When Mrs. Li heard her son say that he would never get married in his life, she was immediately furious.

She also thought of arranging for her son to meet some girls he knew while he was back.

"Why can't you get married soon? What do you mean you'll never get married in this lifetime? I think you've grown too independent. You got into that world, but you didn't learn anything. Instead, you learned all this nonsense."

As a result, the mother and son started quarreling as never before.

In the end, of course, it was Li's mother who won the argument because she had Li's father as a substitute.

Under Li Wen's strong "suppression", Li's mother returned to her room wiping her tears.

Seeing his mother crying, Li Xiao felt bad too.

"Dad, is my mom okay?"

"It's okay, Xiaoxiao. Your mother is going through menopause now, so you have to understand. You can't just push her buttons. You know that what she cares about most is your marriage and love life, and you still say things like that to irritate her."

"But, Dad, I really don't have any plans in this regard right now."

"Son, after your birthday, you will be 26 years old. You are not young anymore. You really need to think about these things."

"But in this circle, it's destined that I won't get married and have children too early."

Li Wen said seriously, "Then don't stay in that circle anymore. Li Xiao, it's been three years since you quit your job and joined the industry. If you feel the road ahead is getting tough, why not just come back?"

"Dad, I don't want this. I've found the path I want to take in life and I want to keep going."

"Son, what are you trying to achieve? You've spent three years trying to make a living, and not only have you achieved nothing, you've even lost a house. That house is worth at least two million.

Okay, let's just assume that you've lost over two million yuan in these three years starting your own business. We'll accept that. But, kid, do you really have to hit a wall before you turn back?

Dad suggests that you think carefully about what I said. You can terminate the contract and sell the house, but you have to quit the entertainment industry and go home. Otherwise, I won't agree to sell this house.

After saying that, Li Wen went back to his room to coax his wife.

Well, dad also left him and ran away.

Li Xiao sighed in frustration.

What am I doing?

I just got home and haven’t had time to enjoy the precious maternal love of Ms. Ye for two days.

Now both parents are angry and will ignore me.

Maybe, this time when I come back, I will be deprived of even two days of motherly love and filial piety, and will directly transition to the days of being disliked by my mother.

but.

The agreement must be dissolved!

You definitely can’t retreat from the circle!

As for the house, I won’t sell it this time.

Anyway, his contract cannot be terminated in a short time.

If I take on one or two more dramas, I will be able to raise enough money to pay the penalty.

What dad said just now is both right and wrong.

He was indeed starting a business, and over the past three years, he had to pay the price for a house.

However, he did not achieve nothing.

On the contrary, he has been studying hard and gaining energy in the past three years.

My business capabilities have improved a lot, I have a thorough understanding of industry rules, and I have also accumulated some connections.

After the contract was terminated, he was not left with nothing.

He still has a few unbroadcast dramas in his hands.

Furthermore, everything he learned after entering the circle is in his mind and becomes his wealth.

In terms of money alone, this line of work does indeed earn more and faster than design work.

Even if he is like this now, neither very popular nor not very famous, if he is not unlucky, the agency he met will not take any action and will have to pay liquidated damages.

In just three years, the film remuneration he received plus some announcement fees, after deducting the management fees and taxes paid to the company, totaled nearly 10 million.

This is something he cannot compare to when he was in the design industry.

Although the daily expenses of this business are higher, the total amount of money in his several bank cards is still more than 7 million.

Of course, most of this was contributed by the salary of the male lead in the "The Devil's Way" crew.

However, he has confidence and ability, and the future will definitely be better than the present.

Li Xiao figured it out, so he got up and knocked on his parents' door.

When I opened the door, I saw my father hugging my mother and comforting her.

He smiled and suddenly felt a little envious of the relationship between his parents.

He has been eating this aged dog food since he was a child, and it can still make him full now.

He walked in and gently hugged his parents. "Mom, don't be angry. I won't buy that house. Be happy. I brought you a lot of gifts. Don't you want to go and see them?"

My mother likes silk scarves. This time in Hengdian, she went to a silk store on purpose and picked out a lot of silk scarves with Cen Yi.

According to Cen Yi, his mother and grandmother also like these things. It seems that his mother's generation has the same views.

"Who cares about your gift? Am I mad at you for selling the house? I'm mad at you for not finding a girlfriend and for still thinking about not getting married. Bringing a girlfriend back as soon as possible is better than anything else."

Well, there's nothing more to talk about.

The topic was brought back again.

Mom, I also want to bring you a girlfriend as soon as possible.

Your son hasn't even had time to write a stroke of his horoscope, and the girl has already disappeared?!

No, he couldn't argue with his mother about this anymore, he had to find another way.

"There are many of the silk scarves you liked last time. Don't you like them too? Then I will give them all to my aunt and the others tomorrow."
