Chapter 1408
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Becoming a super popular streamer meant receiving a lot of money.
Lulu was tempted, and so signed a contract with this company. However, upon entering, she discovered it was just the companyâs standard pitch.
Yet, it wasnât ruled out that someone could emerge from the crowd and become an industry benchmark.
Lulu didnât think too much about it, and focused on her work. Only after becoming an experienced streamer did she realize that the company had set traps for her from the get-go. Streamers affiliated with the company couldnât even take their accounts with them when they wanted to resign.
She wanted to leave? Sure, go ahead!
However, she had to create a new account from scratch.
Not everyone had the luck to become an overnight sensation, and many struggled for years without any improvement.
Although Lulu wasnât popular, after so many years in the company, her streaming account had around two to three hundred thousand followers.
With so many new streamers, and considering she wasnât as young and attractive as before, it was uncertain if she could maintain her current level of success if she abandoned her account.
Her personal career crisis was right in front of her, and Lulu began to contemplate her true way out.
âLarry, letâs get married!â Lulu proposed to Larry. âWeâve been dating for two years, and I think youâre great. You make me feel secure.â
It was mainly because Larry had a house, and his ID was registered in Richburgh. Not to mention, he had a car with a Richburgh license plate. It would be convenient to use him for travel. Whatâs more, his parents had paid fully for the house.
Larry was delighted to hear this, and was deeply moved too. This was Lulu, his girlfriend of two years.
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also understanding!
Unlike other girls, she didnât mind taking the initiative, even in marriage proposals.
Larry was instantly captivated. He immediately took Lulu to a DR specialty store, and customized a one-carat diamond ring for her.
The diamond wasnât large, but Lulu happily accepted it. Exiting the store, she happily linked arms with Larry.
âLarry, weâre getting married. Does that mean your parents will move out of the house youâre living in now?â
She didnât want to get married and still live with his parents!
Larry looked troubled.
âOur current house is located within the Second Ring Road, with a spacious area of one hundred and fifty square meters. The housing prices in Richburgh have skyrocketed to one thousand seven hundred dollars per square meter. Because of the increase in school districts, the price continues to rise. If my parents move out, we canât afford to buy another oneâ¦â
His parents bought the house early. Otherwise, with their middle-class status, it would be unaffordable.
It would have been too expensive.
Lulu wasnât pleased.
âYour family has another property near the Second Ring Road in Richburgh. Itâs slightly off-center, but with the opening of the Universal Studios in that area last year, itâs not considered remote. Your parents can take the subway to come here easily.â
Larry hesitated. âBut the house there is a bungalowâ¦â
There wasnât even a toilet in the place. They had to go outside if they wanted to use the toilet, and the nearest one was an old public toilet. It was dirty and smelly. In the summer, there would even be bugs.
Also, it wasnât regularly cleaned. Larry had gone in once, and he vomited as soon as he went in.
And now, she was asking his parents to live there?
His dad was somewhat better off in such an environment. However, his mother had always been in a managerial position in her company.
She had never lived in such an environment before, and Larryâs father had never let her suffer that way.
