Chapter 1198: 1197 daydreaming in broad daylight

“Hehehe.” Tan Rou laughed, unable to close her mouth, “Oh, granny, you’re not bad at math, you even know addition and subtraction.”

Guo Xia didn’t pick up on the mockery in Tan Rou’s tone, thinking Tan Rou was praising her for having gone to school, “Ah, I only went to school for a few years and forgot a lot of it. You praising me like this, I’m a little embarra.s.sed.”

Liang Lu rolled her eyes and said nothing.

Tan Rou continued, “500,000 isn’t a big sum for Liang Lu. The investment for one movie she acts in starts at tens of millions, so she can easily come up with 500,000.”

After hearing this, Guo Xia started to feel a tad regretful; she wished she hadn’t only asked for 500,000, “It turns out our Liang Lu is so impressive! Well, Liang Lu, I think our house in the village doesn’t necessarily need renovating. Your grandpa and I are getting on in years, and it’s not very convenient living there. Every time we need to buy something, we have to ask someone else to do it, so I was thinking of getting a place in the city. It would be more convenient for us to live there.”

Liang Lu continued to stay silent, with Tan Rou speaking on her behalf.

Tan Rou feigned deep thought, “Granny, even though you’d move to the city, it would still be inconvenient with just the two of you there. If there were someone to take care of you, that would be great, wouldn’t it?”

Guo Xia hadn’t considered this, she had just wanted a house. Hearing Tan Rou put it this way, she hurriedly agreed, “Right, right, right, what Liang Lu’s friend is saying makes sense. The two of us living there alone isn’t so good, we need to hire someone to take care of us. Hiring a maid there is definitely cheaper than here, it would only cost a few thousand yuan a month to get a good one.”

Tan Rou said with a smile, “Plus, you’re getting older and surely you’d want your children nearby. It would be nice if Liang Lu’s uncles and aunt could live close to you.”

Guo Xia thought the young girl in front of her was an angel; she had helped her consider things she hadn’t thought of and also given her solutions to her problems, “Yes, Liang Lu, why don’t you buy a couple of houses for your uncles? Not many, just two would do, one for your second uncle and another for your youngest uncle.”

Liang Lu sneered, “You’ve really thought all this through, haven’t you?”

Tan Rou said, “With a mother like you who looks out for her children in every way, being your child must be such a blessing!”

Guo Xia was extremely proud, “Yes, my children are all very good. Every one of them has been to school. Liang Lu’s father even went to college, which is very impressive in our village.”

“Alright, we’ve pretty much got the picture,” Tan Rou said, “Your ideas are nice, and I hope your dreams come true soon.”

Guo Xia asked, “Are you leaving now? When will you transfer the money to us? Staying here costs over a thousand a day, which is pretty expensive.”

“When did we say we would give you the money?” Tan Rou retorted. “I just thought your plan was quite nice and hope you can fulfill your plans soon, but I never said we would give you the money.”

Guo Xia was beside herself with rage, “What was the point of all that you just said? Was it just to make fun of us?”

Tan Rou responded, “I just felt with your age, you don’t have many chances left to daydream, so I wanted to give you the opportunity to share your dreams, that’s all. I didn’t agree to give you any money.”

Guo Xia blocked their way, threatening, “If you don’t give us the money, we won’t let you leave.” She turned to Liang Lu, “Liang Lu, you wouldn’t want others to find out about your mother’s past, would you? If people knew about the impure things your mother did, they would surely look down on you as well.”

Liang Lu was filled with anger, “Why did my mother have to do that, if others don’t know, don’t you? You murderers, if it hadn’t been for your coercion, my mother wouldn’t have done those things and wouldn’t have ended up taking her own life!”

Guo Xia didn’t feel a shred of guilt, “I don’t care, you’re giving us the money regardless. If you don’t, I’m going to reveal your mother’s story right now and make sure you’ll never be able to act in TV shows again.”

Liang Lu’s temper flared, and she rose her hand to strike, but Tan Rou stopped her.
