Her parents were both workers. Her father was diagnosed with cancer when she was ten years old. The family emptied out all their savings to pay for his treatment.
Just two years after her father passed away, her mother also died in a car accident and she dropped out of school. She was just 15 years old that year.
All the relatives in her family were snobbish. The uncle who agreed to adopt her was attracted by her beauty and sold her to a club to work as a prostitute.
She escaped from the club and came to the capital alone. She tried all kinds of jobs, but because of her good looks, she was envied by women and harassed by men, so she couldn't stay in the job for long anywhere.
For the poor, having good looks is a sin. Later, by chance, she entered the entertainment industry, but because she refused to succumb to the unspoken rules, she could only play small roles, which were not enough to make a living.
Over the years, she has met many big bosses who wanted to support her, but she rejected them all. Sometimes she doesn't know what she is looking for.
When the going was the hardest, she thought about selling herself and accepting the unspoken rules, but in the end she couldn't convince herself that her parents gave birth to her and raised her not for her to do those things.
If she had done those things, her parents in heaven would have been so heartbroken to see them. How would she have the face to face them after she died?
In the past, she often asked herself what the meaning of persistence was, but now she knows that it was to meet her Mr. Shen.
She was grateful to Director Shen from the bottom of her heart and regarded her as her mentor. She tried her best to prove to her that she could do it!
Yun Jinping was kind and sentimental. When she heard her words, her eyes turned red and she hugged her distressedly: "Come here often in the future. Treat this place as your home. Auntie is not an outsider."
"Thank you, Auntie." Gao Meng actually regretted what she said. She looked at Director Shen anxiously. I wonder if Director Shen thought that she was being scheming again and trying to gain sympathy.
Shen Xi looked at her with sympathy for the first time. Her life was indeed miserable, but compared to her, there were not many better ones.
Yu Yuanxi was also soft-hearted. After hearing Gao Meng's life story, he became even more grateful to his grandmother. At least his grandmother was still alive and he still had relatives, so he was not alone.
In the future, he must work hard, make a lot of money, buy a big house, and be filial to his grandmother so that she can live a good life.
Four people cooked together for a meal and soon a table full of dishes was prepared.
Gao Meng and his friends also bought a cake, but they didn't dare to take it out. In the end, Yun Jinping asked them to bring the cake over.
Since you have decided to celebrate your birthday, just celebrate it well and happily. Her son will feel bad when he sees that she can't let go and that she is sad.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
After dinner, Yu Yuanxi helped wash the dishes, while Shen Xi and Gao Meng cleaned up.
No matter what Yun Jinping said, it was useless to stop them from working. They were all diligent and sensible children, and they did things so skillfully that it made people feel distressed.
Normally it is impossible for a boy of Xiao Yu's age to cook, but he is a good hand in the kitchen and can do everything.
"Xiao Yu, how old are you this year?" Yun Jinping's eyes were full of tenderness. The more she got along with him, the more she liked him.
This child is so nice, polite, gentle and sensible.
"Nineteen." Yu Yuanxi smiled and said, "I started school late, so I'm two years older than my classmates."
Yun Jinping nodded and said with a smile, "Not too old, not at all. When we were in the third year of high school, we had to be 20 years old."
Nineteen years old, what a good age!
If Zhifei from their family were still alive, he would be exactly his age.
In the living room.
Gao Meng snorted and threw the phone away with an unconvinced look on his face: "What's so great about that!"
Shen Xi came out with a fruit plate and looked at her strangely.
Gao Meng was upset and jealous, so she started to talk to Shen Xi: "Xixi, look, they bought hot searches again. It's about Li Jingran's daughter, Su Ruowan. She said she won some design award. She hasn't even entered the entertainment industry yet, but she's so high-profile. Don't you know that forcing yourself to promote someone will lead to God's punishment?"
When Shen Xi heard about the design competition, she was embarrassed. She also participated in it: "What award did you win?"
"The trending searches say it's a silver award. If she won a gold award, I'm afraid the trending searches won't be able to contain her, and she'd have to go up to the sky." Gao Meng is most annoyed by those who spend money every day to buy trending searches to gain popularity. It's not a big deal to be rich: "If my parents were so awesome, so rich, and had so many connections in the entertainment industry, I would have won the Best Actress award a long time ago."
"You're right." Shen Xi smiled.
In Paris, the grand awards ceremony of the international fashion competition is underway.
Li Jingran sat in the VIP seat in the front row, with exquisite makeup and a beautiful dress. She exuded the dignified, elegant and intellectual beauty of an oriental beauty, and looked proudly in the direction of the stage.
"Congratulations, Sister Jingran, for raising such an outstanding daughter. If my future children can be half as successful as Wanwan, I will be satisfied."
"Sister Jingran is a winner in life. All the children she raised are outstanding. I envy you so much."
"That's right, Sister Jingran, you should publish a book to teach us how to raise children. I will definitely be the first to buy it."
The guests next to them were all big-name male and female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry, who were invited by luxury brands. When they saw Su Ruowan come on stage, they rushed to congratulate and compliment her.
Gong Zhi was sitting not far away, with a group of foreign fashion gurus. When he heard the compliments from over there, he glanced at Li Jingran and sneered with disdain.
It's just a silver medal, but you're getting carried away. What's so great about it? Teacher Cai Ni is not even older than her daughter, but she won a gold medal!
Li Jingran met Gong Zhi's gaze provocatively, her eyes full of pride. Her daughter was excellent, and it was useless for her to be envious and jealous.
The two men's eyes met, full of hostility and sparks flying.
Gong Zhi held her breath. Was she showing off her daughter? It was great to have a daughter. If she had children in the future, they would definitely be more outstanding and would be like Teacher Cai Ni.
On the stage, Su Ruowan raised the trophy, her eyes full of tears of joy, and spoke fluent English: "I am here, and the people I am most grateful to are my family, my mom, dad, and my brothers. Thank you."
Li Jingran looked at her daughter on the stage with a look of satisfaction, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes. Wanwan is her pride and the little princess of their family.
The children of their Su family are all so outstanding, not like some uneducated little girl.
She heard from Wanwan that the little girl Shen Xi also participated in the design competition, but she was afraid that she would not even be shortlisted and would only bring shame to herself!
Su Ruowan quickly left the stage, smiling, and walked calmly to Li Jingran's side, handing her the trophy: "Mom, this is a gift for you."
"This is your honor, what are you doing for me?" Li Jingran smiled dotingly, took her hand and asked her to sit next to him.
Well, She is worthy of being the child she raised. She just takes after her. She is not afraid of such a big occasion at all, and is calm and elegant, which makes her proud. Even that stinky woman Gong Zhi is probably jealous of her to the point of going crazy.
