Su Li smiled, “That’s really a pity, I didn’t see it…”
This junior sister was also quite a character. Seeing Su Li seemingly interested, she thought she had hit Su Li’s soft spot and immediately became enthusiastic.
All kinds of gossip about those two people kept popping out of her mouth.
She said pleasingly to Su Li, “Those two oddballs, they’re quite a match… they shouldn’t come out and cause trouble for others, let alone try to get involved with you, Sister Su. I could teach them a lesson on how to behave in minutes.”
“Where you stand now, Sister Su, they’re not even worthy to carry your shoes…”
Su Li was amused by this junior sister’s blunt and lowly flattery.
“Go find my agent later, we’re still looking for a female number four in the fantasy movie I’m part of, and I think you’re quite suited for it.”
The junior sister was stunned, completely speechless by the huge surprise that seemed to fall from heaven.
“You’re really generous. That girl looks so naïve. How did she catch your eye? Even the role of female number four is being given away by you…”
While handing Su Li a drink, her agent, Sister An, asked curiously.
“She’s quite amusing… Besides, it’s a company investment, so I think it shouldn’t be a problem if I decide to add a role.”
“Of course, with your status now, even if you propose it, wanting to cast someone else as the female lead instead of you, that probably wouldn’t be a problem.”
Su Li, “Sister An, don’t worry, I’m not that oblivious, I won’t act recklessly and irresponsibly.”
I actually wish you would be a bit more capricious.
Without uttering these words, Sister An looked at the only artist she managed with pride and regret.
Regret that she had lost the vigor of youth too early, becoming old and worldly wise.
Although, Sister An knew Su Li probably didn’t care, for in her eyes there were only shiny things, and money.
She had once openly expressed in an interview that she was a vulgar person, insufferably so, and that she loved worldly possessions.
Only these could motivate her.
Such candid words could easily provoke the public backlash, but at that point, Su Li was in a position where she did not need to care about such things.
Because by then, if Su Li said feces smelled good, her fans would think it was a special, fragrant pile of poop.
Sister An considered Su Li a miracle…
In just three short years, while her classmates had yet to graduate from college, she had reached heights others might not achieve in a lifetime.
She became well-known with a single photo, then continuously active on screens, and now she had even broken through national borders, preparing to embark internationally.
Thinking of the invitation letter from the internationally renowned director Tom placed on her desk, Sister An felt elated, her spine straightening a bit more.
“Sister An, a phone call from Sister Su’s house…”
Interrupted in her thoughts, Sister An expressionlessly took the phone, “If it’s a call from Su Li’s house, it would go directly to her private number… This kind of call is likely to be from a fan’s harassment, and you should just hang up next time.”
While instructing the new assistant, Sister An answered the phone and her expression changed.
“Su Li, it’s your parents’ call. Do you want to take it?”
Su Li casually admired the diamonds in the jewelry box and said offhandedly, “My parents have passed away; whose parents would they be…”
Suddenly, Su Li remembered, “Wait a minute… it might be my aunt…”
“Give it to me, I’ll take it.”
“Su Li, you have to help us out. After all, we raised you. This is just a small effort for you.”
On the phone, Su Li’s former mother, Ma Li, was shouting hoarsely, “If you don’t help, I… I…”
“Exposed her to the media…” Su Mo’s sharp voice cut in.
Ma Li, “Right, I’ll tell the media about you… You are a big star now; you must care about your reputation.”
Ma Li threatened and pleaded, “It’s really a small thing for you, just as soon as this is settled, I promise I’ll never appear before you again.”
Su Li laughed indifferently. She truly… really disliked the feeling of being threatened; it reminded her of many unpleasant things.
Su Li paused.
Unpleasant things… she seemed to be unable to remember them again.
In any case, Su Li was very unhappy. The unhappier she felt, the sweeter her smile became.
Sister An was also disconcerted by Su Li’s smile.
Su Li, “Why don’t you start by telling me, what happened?”
“I told you that dead girl wouldn’t dare not to help,” Su Sheng’s deep voice also emerged from the receiver, “To think you were all scared and paranoid, moving houses and selling properties.”
It seemed that Su Li’s gentle attitude had given Ma Li a great deal of confidence; her voice also became loud.
“It’s your brother-in-law; he’s lost money in business, and deceived your sister into borrowing usurious loans, now he’s absconded, and the debt collectors have come to our door.”
“Get here with five hundred thousand quickly, or these people won’t leave.”
The more Ma Li talked, the more emboldened she became, gradually resuming her previous attitude of taking Su Li for granted and ordering her around.
“I’ll tell you the new address, and you can send someone with the money. These people want cash.”
“Don’t worry, my daughter is a big star, the Su Li you often see on TV… so she definitely won’t stiff you on this small amount.”
Even through the phone, Su Li could hear Su Sheng’s insincere tone.
“Then I’ll trust you this once.”
Su Li couldn’t even muster the energy to be angry anymore and said, “Oh, is that so? I’m sorry to hear that, but… I also have some bad news for you…”
“A lawyer will be visiting you shortly, please try to gather the funds to return the money you’re holding that belongs to my mother to me, otherwise, we will meet in court.”

Su Li said cheerily, “Congratulations, you’ve gained another creditor.”
Just as Su Li was about to hang up the phone, she heard the sounds of beating and kicking inside.
“Weren’t you so sure that your star daughter would help you pay back the money?”
“You dare to deceive me…”
After hanging up, Su Li’s face was indifferent, and she said in a detached tone, “Sister An, contact legal affairs for me, please handle this matter. I don’t want to hear from them again.”
Originally, Su Li hadn’t planned to bother with these people. Why waste time on them when she could attend another jewelry show?
But she didn’t plan to bother with them, and yet they stuck to her like locusts, impossible to shake off her legs.
If that was the case, it’s better to settle things clearly.
Sister An managed the matter, and afterwards, Su Li never heard another word from the Su family, let alone having them bounce up before her.
