In the following days, Wen Ran moved out of Ye Feimo's house and downstairs. Soon after, school started again, and she reported back to her school. She hadn't been home for the entire summer vacation, and both Mr. and Mrs. Wen were extremely worried. Mr. Wen had taken on several jobs to raise money for her tuition fees; at his age, he worked as an ordinary car washer in a car wash place. Wen Ran only found out about this when school started.

She privately berated herself for being so busy during the summer that she hadn't cared about her parents at all.

Until Mr. Wen handed over a wad of eight thousand yuan that wasn't very neat, did Wen Ran realize how much hardship and suffering he had endured for her and Wen Jing during the summer holidays, as well as how many cold shoulders he had received.

Wen Ran was heartbroken and hugged Mr. Wen, repeatedly saying sorry to him.

She was such an ungrateful daughter.

"Dad, keep this money for yourself. I don't need it. This summer holiday, I've already earned enough to pay my tuition fees." Wen Ran said as she took out a stack of money from her bag and gave them to Mr. Wen, "This is for you and Mom. From now on, I'll cover my own school expenses. Dad, please quit your job at the car wash; in the future, I will take care of our family. Life might be tough now, but I won't let Dad suffer anymore or go hungry."

Mrs. Wen counted the money and found it was several thousand yuan. She was surprised and asked, "Ranran, didn't you say you were doing odd jobs What kind of part-time job would earn enough tuition fees for you and leave so much extra You haven't done anything illegal, right..."

"Mom, I didn't!" Warming said, then she thought about her agreement with Ye Feimo and suddenly felt a bit guilty. But other than going to the supermarket with Ye Feimo, she hadn’t used any of his money, even though he had given her the card.

Warming held onto her father's and mother’s hands and said, "I worked at the production team during the summer vacation, you know it was Man Dong's family who invested in that. She knew my family was struggling financially, so she paid me more than others. Plus I signed with an agency company; recently I shot a few music videos and commercials, which brought some income to me. This is all money I earned through hard work. Dad, Mom, rest assured that I didn't steal or do anything immoral; it's all my sweat money. Dad, for my sake, please quit your job. Otherwise, I won’t be able to focus on mine."

"Which agency company did you sign with" Mr. Wen had been in business for decades and had seen a lot of things. Warming was just starting out; it was impossible for her to earn so much money.

Cai Xiaojing, who was standing by the side, said, "Warming signed with Ning'an International. She is talented and hardworking, so she’s one of the new talents that the company focuses on cultivating. The fees she receives are paid by the company as well. I’m her agent."

"Ning'an International"

"Yes, Dad, I didn’t lie to you. Please rest assured. Although I can't provide a good life for you and Mom right now, I don’t want you two to suffer too much either. Please promise me that you'll quit your job Your health isn’t great; the car-washing work is tiring and hard on your body. How could I possibly feel at ease" Warming said earnestly while clinging to him.

Mr. Wen looked at Cai Xiaojing, then at Warming, and finally nodded his head. It was only then that Warming felt relieved.

"Sis, does this mean I can see you on TV in the future" Wen Jing asked.

warm nodded, and Wen Jing burst into laughter; the whole family was very happy.

Warm's heart settled. In fact, she didn't have much money; this sum was borrowed from Cai Xiaojing. A few days ago, when she had struggled to ask Cai Xiaojing for money, Cai Xiaojing was quite surprised.

Cai Xiaojing originally thought that since Warm lived with Ye Feimo, Ye Feimo would certainly not let her lack anything materially, yet she actually borrowed money. It was only then that Cai Xiaojing realized that Warm had been together with Ye Feimo to save her father from jail, but they hadn't any financial disputes. Warm didn’t want to ask for money from Ye Feimo and feared he might misunderstand her.

Through this incident, Cai Xiaojing truly started wanting to promote Warm’s standing; before this, following Ye Feimo's orders had been the main factor. But now she realized that Warm was indeed a good child.

If she asked Ye Feimo for money, he would definitely give it and wouldn’t need her to repay him, but she didn't.

This also showed that Warm did not want to take advantage of Ye Feimo; it indicated that Ye Feimo's support for her was his own initiative. Perhaps he saw potential in her or knew she could be a money tree, or perhaps he liked her.

Cai Xiaojing finally understood why Ye Feimo had always told her not to let Warm know about the dark side of the entertainment industry and warned her not to tell Warm about any behind-the-scenes deals.

He wanted Warm to believe that everything was the result of her own efforts.

He was truly sincere, but Nuwan had no idea about this.

Nuwan did sign with Anning International, but her basic salary was quite low. She even struggled to cover her living expenses and certainly couldn't save any money. She shot a few music videos and advertisements. The music videos were ones she got through connections; the pay wasn't high, and most of the ads were small-scale promotions where she wasn't particularly well-known yet, so the compensation was also low. Moreover, Anning International took a large cut, leaving her with very little.

She was due to start school again soon, and tuition fees were quite expensive. She wanted to give some pocket money to her parents so they wouldn't have to work too hard; Mr. Wen had spent his entire life in the mall, while Mrs. Wen was used to being pampered, so they definitely wouldn't be able to adjust to a poor lifestyle.

With no other choice, Nuwan borrowed money from Cai Xiaojing.

This small amount of money didn't matter much to Cai Xiaojing. She was willing to help if she could, and besides, she knew that Nuwan had been a valuable asset in her career.

After settling things at home, Nuwan gave her parents an address and originally wanted to take them along with her, but when she thought about the person above her head and sharing a bed with someone every night, she dismissed this idea.

Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen believed that Nuwan was living with Cai Xiaojing as well, so they naturally wouldn't ask to live with her.

When Nuwan and Wen Jing went back into the room to pack up their belongings, Mr. Wen took the opportunity to speak with Cai Xiaojing: "Miss Cai, I'll have to trouble you for Nuan's sake in the future; please take good care of her. I've protected my daughters too well; originally, I wouldn't let her go into the entertainment industry, but she insisted, so there was no other choice. If...", help me...嗚嗚..." She had just shouted for help when a thick palm covered her mouth. The two men were dragging her into an old house being demolished while lecherously groping her chest."Brother Xion...
