The vicious female supporting role changes careers and becomes a top wealthy mama's girl

After more than a month of careful recuperation, Su Zhan has fully recovered and is ready to continue his national tour.

Su Jinli has her own office at the Song Group, although she does not hold a position yet.

Lee Seung-yeol's mock exam scores kept improving, and he would spend a few days each week going to the Song Group with his sister to learn management knowledge.

The Song Group continued to expand, growing alongside the Li Group and becoming one of the largest pillar industries in the country.

Li Yanchen's position as the world's richest man remained secure, contrary to many financial bloggers' predictions that he would be a fleeting figure. His life continued to revolve around three points: the company, the laboratory, and Su Jinli's home.

That afternoon, after finishing a meeting, Li Yanchen was called behind by his father for a talk.

After everyone else left, President Li asked in a low voice, "When are you planning to propose to Lili? You've been staying at her place for so long."

After his father reminded him, Li Yanchen remembered that he had been living at Su Jinli's house for more than half a year and had gotten used to life there, forgetting what his parents looked like.

Last time, he prepared a large box of gold bars to propose, but it was unexpectedly interrupted, so the matter has been put on hold ever since.

Mr. Li said, "The box of gold bars at home is all gathering dust. It's all because you didn't propose in time that the price of gold has plummeted. Sigh!"

Li Yanchen gave an awkward smile, "You can blame me for the drop in gold prices?"

Parents come up with all sorts of creative ways to pressure their children into marriage.

“Dad, Su Jinli is different from ordinary women. She is clear-headed and independent. Don’t be fooled by her “mama’s girl” persona on variety shows. In reality, she is very self-reliant. If she doesn’t want to get married, no amount of urging will change her mind.”

President Li frowned. "Then what should we do? Call off the wedding?"

Li Yanchen: "Dad, give us some time. You can go and urge Li Ning and Li Feng to get married first."

"Neither of their girlfriends are reliable! We only like Lili!"

Su Jinli's appearance at Pang Xie's wedding caused a stir and drew a crowd, giving Pang Xie a lot of face.

Wearing a white wedding dress and holding a bridal bouquet, Pang Xie walked towards Su Jinli, her eyes filled with happiness.

"Miss Su, you've arrived!"

Su Jinli handed the prepared red envelope to the bride, saying, "Happy wedding, may you live a long and happy life together."

Soon, a group of people surrounded Su Jinli, taking photos, group photos, and recording videos.

During the event, someone asked Su Jinli when she and Li Yanchen would get married. Su Jinli smiled and replied, "We don't have any plans for that yet. We'll let everyone know as soon as we have good news."

Pang Xie said, "Good things come to those who wait. Besides, for a perfect woman like Miss Su, whether she gets married or not makes little difference. She's different from us ordinary women. Because we're ordinary, we're bound by worldly rules, we have to listen to our parents, and we have to go with the flow. Miss Su is beautiful and rich. She can get married if she wants to, or not if she doesn't. She can have children on her own if she wants to. She doesn't need to depend on anyone at all."

A group of women around him nodded in unison, indicating their agreement.

Su Jinli smiled at Pang Xie, "Spider, you're right, but not entirely. It's not because I'm rich and beautiful that I can choose my life as I please, but because as long as you have an independent personality, you can choose the life you want. Modern women are not bound by rules and regulations. Marriage is wonderful and can be pursued, and not getting married can also be wonderful. With the progress of the times, people have more choices, and men and women are the same."

"The reason I don't want to get married in my twenties is because I know myself. My thoughts and decisions are prone to change over time, so I will be cautious before making any major decisions."

In the original story, Su Jinli easily followed Lu Yao into the entertainment industry, rashly choosing a career as an actress. This wrong choice not only caused her to be criticized but also brought misery upon her parents.

Among the new students, Su Jinli will no longer make hasty choices.

Pang Xie and the others looked at Su Jinli with admiration.

Pang Xie held up the bridal bouquet in her hand. "I originally planned to pass the bouquet to Miss Su, but I'll give it to someone else..." She gestured to the girl next to her, "Do you want the bouquet?"

The girl waved her hand and said, "No, I don't have a boyfriend yet."

Another girl also refused, saying, "Although I have a boyfriend, I have no plans to get married!"

"No way! I haven't had enough of being single yet."

"Don't give it to me, I'm not getting married for the next few years, I need to make money!"

"It's not that I can't afford to get married, it's just that being single is more cost-effective!"

As Su Jinli watched the women refusing the bridal bouquet, she realized that there were more and more clear-headed and independent women in this era.

They won't be easily swayed by a man's sweet words and enter into marriage. They will maintain a clear and independent personality and know what they truly need.

Fewer and fewer people are obsessed with romance.

After attending Pang Xie's wedding, Su Jinli rushed to the coastal city to see her father's concert.

Li Yanchen, Song Li, and Li Chenglie were all waiting for her to enter together.

At the center of the brightly lit stage, Su Zhan, full of energy, sang and danced, electrifying the entire audience!

After the concert, the whole family returned to their seaside villa to celebrate, opening champagne, having a barbecue, and setting off fireworks.

That night, under the bright stars, Su Zhan and Song Li clinked glasses and chatted after dinner, Li Chenglie set off fireworks on the beach, and Su Jinli and Li Yanchen strolled along the shore.

The sea was completely dark at night, with only the distant lighthouse twinkling faintly, making the starry sky above seem very bright.

The two walked side by side on the soft sand, remaining silent for several hundred meters. Li Yanchen was pondering how to begin, while Su Jinli was wondering how Li Yanchen would start.

Finally, the man stopped. "Lili, there's a question I've been wanting to ask you."

The evening breeze was a bit chilly. Su Jinli crossed her arms and turned to look at him. "What's the problem?"

"What kind of ending did you write for 'The Magnificent Socialite' that day? I've always been curious about it."

Hearing this question, Su Jinli laughed, "Anyway, it's not a scene of the male and female leads getting married."

Upon hearing this answer, Li Yanchen smiled, understanding Su Jinli's current feelings.

She said, "Looking back at many film and literary works, many end with a wedding scene, which gives people the idea that only by getting married can they be happy forever, or that marriage is the road to eternity."

"This kind of imagery and sense of déjà vu is obviously outdated. Men and women are the same; happiness should not be defined. Everyone is born whole. Even if there is a physical disability, the soul is independent. An independent soul and a life can also be happy. Why must we use a wedding scene to define happiness?"

At this moment, Li Yanchen looked at the female writer in front of him with an admiring gaze. She was not only Su Jinli, but also an author with an independent personality and soul.

“Well said,” Li Yanchen said. “Everyone’s life and happiness are different and should not be defined arbitrarily.”

"So, I am who I am, a mama's girl, Su Jinli."

She stood radiant under the starlight; at that moment, a firework burst overhead, but it couldn't outshine even a fraction of her brilliance and beauty.
