Chapter 113: Abnormal Behavior

Tan Si replied innocently, “Mom, I’m an actress and a celebrity. I have to rely on my face to make a living. The beauty projects I usually do are much more expensive than the ones you do. There are also clothes, shoes, and bags. Every one of them will cost at least a few thousand yuan. I can’t wear clothes that only cost just over a thousand yuan. Otherwise, the media will make up the news. Also, those fans will suspect that I’m out of projects.”
“Once I become outdated or not popular, it will affect my acting career. These days, most directors hire whoever is popular, so these are necessary investments. I’m acting as the female lead in this drama now. I think I have a chance of winning an award this time. When I become popular, the price of advertising endorsements, acting, and variety shows will at least double. Just wait for me to treat you to all the meals you want.”
Tan Si’s words of filial piety made Wang Li so happy that she could not help but smile. She reached out and tapped Tan Si’s forehead. “You, you know how to make me happy. I don’t expect you to bring me to eat and drinkwell. As long as you save some of the money you earn in case of emergencies, it’s fine. You spend all your money every month and don’t have anything to fall back on.” Tan Si immediately nodded in agreement. She was not stupid. How could she not have any savings? However, her money was her money. Why would she use her own when she could use her parents’ money? Hence, when she could usually get money from Wang Li and Tan Xiang, Tan Si was determined not to spend her own money.
Tan Si successfully got Wang Li to transfer two million yuan. Before she could be happy for long, a cry came from the baby’s room on the first floor. When she heard the cry, Tan Si’s head hurt. He complained impatiently, “Why does he like to cry so much!”
Wang Li glared at Tan Si. “How can someone like to cry? Occasionally, when you’re feeling unwell, you’ll also tell us in a crying manner. Recently, the temperature difference between morning and night has been huge. The baby has caught a cold, so he’s crying a little more than usual. Tell me, as a mother, how often do you come back? The moment you hear your son crying, you get impatient.”
Tan Si usually did not take care of the child when she went to film or take on jobs. Firstly, she felt that it was troublesome to take care of them. Secondly, she did not want to see others’ probing gazes. Knowing that she was in the wrong, Tan Si did not retort.
Wang Li suddenly recalled the abnormal behavior of the old couple from the Si family. She turned around and looked at Tan Si seriously. “By the way, Si Cheng’s grandparents haven’t come to see the baby in the past half a month!” Tan Si immediately sat up straight. “They didn’t even call you to ask for a video call?”
Wang Li shook her head. “They don’t want to see the baby at all. These two old fellows are both traditional people. They like to have more children. Moreover, his family has only had one child for a few generations. Now, it’s not easy for him to have another grandson. Previously, even when it was raining and thundering, they had to come over to see the child. Last month, that old man caught a cold for a week. He was afraid of infecting the baby, so he didn’t dare to come. He even video-called me every day. Every day, he would watch the baby for more than ten minutes before he was willing to hang up. He came once at the beginning of this month. After that, he didn’t even video-call me anymore.”
An uneasy feeling welled up in Tan Si’s heart. “Tan Ming brought those two b*stards with her everyday. She was afraid that the Si family would snatch the children. It’s difficult for them to even take a look now. At least we let them carry him. Why wouldn’t they come? Don’t tell me Tan Ming has relented!” “That damn old man and old lady liked Tan Ming to begin with, and she gave birth to her eldest grandson. If she gives in, I’ll really be at a disadvantage!” When Wang Li heard this, she became nervous. “The child is the only bargaining chip you have to marry into the Si family. If even this doesn’t work, won’t you become a real single mother and the baby will become an illegitimate child?! There are many people of our level. If they find out, just those eye rolls will be enough for you and your mother to suffer.”
“Have you contacted Si Cheng recently? What did he say? When can he get a divorce? Aiyo, my heart is really…”
Tan Si was already annoyed. When she heard her mother nagging at the side, she became even more annoyed. She interrupted loudly, “Alright! I’m thinking of a way now!”
The crying in the nursery continued, and it even grew a little louder.
Tan Si frowned and quickly walked towards the room.
Wang Li knew that Tan Si would definitely lose her temper. Thinking about the abnormality of the Si family, she rubbed her temples to relax. She couldn’t be bothered to care so much. After all, Tan Si would just be scolding a servant. She didn’t pay her to work here to be bullied. But as long as she paid enough, these lower-class people would be beaten and scolded at will..
