Chu Ying, who was telling her family about her dream for the Nth time, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, glaring angrily at her own mother.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate for ten seconds before Chu Ying was the first to give in.
She continued her prepared speech with great emotion, "Mom, think about it, when I stand on the big screen, enjoying the lights, flowers, applause and loving gazes, what a happy thing that is! You must have dreams too, right? You have dreams, so why can't you accept mine? Mom, you are my dearest person, you have to give me understanding, encouragement, and... motivation, instead of nipping my little sprouts in the bud."
As Madam Chu listened to Chu Ying's eloquent explanation, she coldly snorted, "Even if you ramble on and on, I will not agree."
Chu Ying stomped her foot angrily: "Mom!"
Old Madam Chu refused to budge an inch, her tone firm: "Entering the entertainment industry? Don't even think about it. You should give up that idea as soon as possible, study hard, graduate quickly and come back to inherit the family fortune. This huge company will eventually be handed over to you. Don't you know how heavy the responsibility is on your shoulders? Don't you know how to share the burden with us, your parents?"
Chu Ying protested, "But what about Chu Chu? She can inherit it too."
Chu Chu is the eldest brother's child, so she's the perfect person to inherit the family business.
Old Madam Chu's eyes widened as she glared angrily at Chu Ying. The two stared at each other, "Are you trying to drive us crazy? How old is Chu Chu now? She hasn't even graduated from kindergarten yet. How long are we supposed to wait for her to grow up? By the time she grows up, we'll be all old and just bones. How will we go on a round-the-world trip then?"
Chu Ying: "???"
So this was your real purpose?!
You want to go on a round-the-world trip? I want to go too! If I inherit the company, I'll only be able to go on a round-the-world trip when I'm old and all I have left. You parents are really scheming.
Chu Ying saw through her mother's "true colors" and felt extremely sad. Her face turned ashen, like a palette of colors, until it turned black, as black as the bottom of a pot. "Mom, you're still young. Why don't you let me pursue my dreams? After I achieve them, I'll come back to inherit the family business, okay?"
"Anyway, I'll graduate in a few years. After graduation, I'll go out and explore for a few years to accumulate experience. When I inherit the family business, I'll have connections, right? Then, when Chuchu grows up, I'll hand the company over to her, and then I'll continue to pursue my dreams."
She is willing to sacrifice several years for her dream.
Old Madam Chu's face remained as unpleasant as ever, and her tone was no better. "Come on, look at yourself, living like a rough man. Entering the entertainment industry? To become a maid?"
Chu Ying: "???"
Are you my biological mother?
She retorted defiantly, "I am young and beautiful, with a face like a flower, naturally beautiful, and possess a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in history..."
Madam Chu: "...Hehe, that's because I have good genes."
Chu Ying: "That's because I'm good-looking."
Madam Chu: "That's only because of my strong genes that you didn't turn out badly. There are plenty of beautiful people in the entertainment industry, we don't need you. Don't embarrass me."
Chu Ying jumped onto the sofa and screamed like a groundhog, "Aaaaaah! How can you talk to your own daughter like that?"
