Su Yan was a bit puzzled when she heard this question. “Of course, they didn’t give me a single cent. If they had given me 600,000 RMB in tuition fees every year, that would have been enough for my living expenses! Why are you asking this?”
Chu Tianye shrugged and lowered his voice. “During your interview, I overheard some people on the Su family’s side talking. Your parents said they gave you 600,000 RMB in tuition fees every year.”
As these words came out, Su Yan’s face immediately turned dark. She clenched her lips tightly, seemingly understanding something. She lowered her voice as well, so as not to be picked up by the cameras. Through gritted teeth, she said, “My family used to transfer money to me through Su Qingyan. It seems like she withheld my money!”
She was truly infuriated. Back when she decided to study abroad, it was her stubborn decision, and her family didn’t fully support it. They wanted her to study management and eventually help Su Qingyan in the family business. Yes, the family business would eventually go to Su Qingyan. Her parents believed that Su Qingyan had better business acumen than Su Yan.
Su Yan felt that her parents were biased, and she didn’t want to study management. So she made up her mind to study abroad, majoring in a research-oriented field. Her family strongly disagreed, thinking that girls who chose such majors would have trouble finding jobs and couldn’t spend their entire lives in a laboratory.
She arranged everything herself, contacted a foreign advisor, applied to universities, and even handled her passport. These actions strained her relationship with her family.
Just before leaving, she had a heated argument with her mother. Her family hadn’t provided her with any living expenses, and when she called home, Su Qingyan answered the phone, saying, “Mom is sick and hospitalized, not convenient to talk on the phone. Dad and Mom said they won’t give you a single cent for your tuition!”
Su Yan, with her stubborn personality, stopped asking her family for money after hearing this. Occasionally, her mother called and spoke with a tough tone, trying to convince her to return home. However, Su Yan clenched her teeth and refused, claiming that everything was fine abroad.
She worked part-time jobs to support herself during her first year, and although she had to pay a tuition fee of 600,000 RMB, she was eventually exempted from tuition fees in the second year due to her outstanding performance. But her family never paid attention to these details.
As Su Yan recalled all of this, she took a deep breath and stood up. “I’m going to find them.”
Chu Tianye raised an eyebrow and followed her. As they left the room, they saw the Su family of three in the living room.
Su Qingyan was playing the piano, practicing for her daily two-hour session.
Su Yan’s parents sat nearby, looking pleased and appreciative.
After Su Qingyan finished playing, they applauded immediately and offered their sincere blessings.
Their attitude seemed like they were putting on a show, but Su Yan knew that this was their daily routine. She and her sister had always been on the outside when it came to this family of three.
Su Yan squinted her eyes as she slowly descended the stairs.
In the live chat room, messages began to flood in:
Su Yan has come downstairs. The Su family is playing the piano downstairs. Why isn’t she avoiding them like the other families?
Am I the only one who thinks that Su Qingyan playing the piano while her parents watch looks like a staged act? Where can you find a family so harmonious? It doesn’t seem grounded in reality.
I’m really curious about what Su Yan is up to. She clearly walked towards the Su family.
Haha, maybe she’s going to make amends and apologize to her family, trying to get them to accept her as their daughter again? Trying to avoid the public opinion backlash?
It could also be an attempt to clear up the misunderstanding and make peace. After all, Su Yan is gaining some popularity now. Her company probably hopes that the Su family will let her off the hook!
Agreed with the comment above. That’s what I think too!
As the live chat room buzzed with conversation, Su Yan approached her parents.
Su Yan’s mother was momentarily stunned. Then she coldly snorted. Was this unfilial daughter here to apologize and admit her mistakes?
She finally realized that without the support of the Su family, Su Yan would have a tough time in the entertainment industry, right?
While she was deep in thought, Su Yan suddenly said, “1 heard that my family provided me with living expenses when I was in college.”
This statement stunned her mother. She then turned cold and said, “How could that be? What are you trying to do?”
Su Yan knew her mother wouldn’t believe her words, so she took out her phone and opened the banking app, showing her bank statements from the past few years..
