Chapter 466: You’re Wrong to Think So

"It's all in the past, why are you still bringing it up?" Father Liao glanced at Liao Jiake and lowered his head slightly with a guilty look on his face. "Besides, aren't you married well now?"

Liao Jiake sneered and said sarcastically, "You think I'm doing well now, right? Do you know how strong my mother-in-law is? Do you know how much she despises me?"

Their family used to be in good financial condition, and they had a respectable small business, but unfortunately, their father used all the money to speculate in the stock market and lost it all.

Liao Jiake never complained about this.

Perhaps because she was young and naive at the time, she didn't realize the severity of her family's debt. Liao Jiake handed over her salary card at the time. She just enjoyed the stage and felt happy and blessed to be able to do what she loved...

When Liao Jiake became an adult, she wanted to buy herself a car. She discussed it with her parents with a smile, but ended up with a sad face.

Liao Jiake can still remember that her parents told her that the family debt had not been paid off yet and asked her to wait a few years before buying a car.

In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, Liao Jiake went to several film crews a year and saved enough money to pay off her father's debt. After she got married, her parents returned the card to her. It was also from then on that Liao Jiake began to have her own small treasury.

However, the card they returned to her had less than one million in it, so her daily spending was also restricted.

"Dad, do you know how hard it's been for me these past few years?" Liao Jiake's eyes welled up, her voice trembling slightly. "To pay off your debt, I've been filming day and night. Other artists are all glamorous, their outfits worth at least tens of millions, but all my haute couture pieces are sponsored by brands, none of them truly belong to me... Maybe you think it's okay? After all, I'm married well now, so I have everything I need, right?"

Before Liao's father could speak, Liao Jiake said calmly, "You're wrong to think so. Whether it was before or now, I always paid for everything I wanted."

On Liao Jiake's first birthday after marriage, she told Xu Zeyi that she wanted to celebrate her birthday with more ceremony. However, her mother-in-law found out and disagreed. She told her to her face that she was ignorant and wasted money on nothing. She also told her to be honest and not to have any inappropriate thoughts. She meant that she should not think about the Xu family's money. From then on, Liao Jiake's self-esteem was damaged.

She silently told herself that she must save money for herself and not be looked down upon by others.

Father Liao: "Are you stupid? Xiaoyi is so rich, don't you know how to use his money?"

"You want me to use his money, and then you use my money to invest in stocks, right?"

"Nonsense, I stopped playing a long time ago."

The family’s money is now managed by Liao’s mother, so even if he wants to play, he has no chance.

Liao Jiake sighed and said helplessly, "You're already so old. I don't expect you to bring honor to me, but I hope you won't cause me any more trouble."

…

After dinner, Liao Jiake offered to drive Liao Jiayan to the airport.

Liao Jiayan didn't let her parents take her downstairs. She pretended to be indifferent to the family affairs, but in fact she was very concerned. "Mom, I called a moving company for you. I'll send their contact information to your phone later."

"OK."

She looked back at her home and said calmly, "I'm leaving. You and Dad take good care of yourselves. I'll come back to see you when I have time."

Liao's mother nodded and reminded her, "Well, when you go back, you must live a good life with Xiao Gao. Be more restrained in the Gao family and don't let people gossip about you."

Liao Jiayan: "I understand."
