The Entertainment Industry Waits For Our Divorce Chapter 37

The Nineteenth Day of Separation (2)

Chen Xueyun with Xu Gaofei came to her when her marriage with Lu Lincheng was announced publicly years ago. She knew why they came to her, so she gave them money and told them to stay away from her and not to come see her again.

In the mediation room, Chen Xueyun kept crying, “I worked hard to raise you, you can’t possibly ignore your brother and mother. Ah, wu, wu, wu…”

Liang Yan’s eyes turned red.

Maybe they raised her…

For as long as she could remember, there were constant quarrels at home. The neighbors and aunt downstairs would often take care of her instead and would give Liang Yan, who was hungry and had yellowed-skin, food to eat.

At the age of seven, they sent her to the sports school. When her teacher would call her parents to pay for her living expenses, the number couldn’t be reached.

Liang Yan still remembered the look the teacher gave her with the landline phone still in hand. “Another unwanted one, is this a sports school or an orphanage?”

Liang Yan glanced at Chen Xueyun's semi-permanent eyebrows and the eyeliner on her face. Her skin was well-maintained despite her age.

These years, she lived a good life, right?

A mocking smile appeared on Liang Yan’s face as she asked, “How much is the debt?”

Chen Xueyun immediately looked up when she heard Liang Yan’s question and wiped the hesitation on her face. She stared at her daughter who had become so beautiful, clenching her teeth, she answered, “Eight million.”

“Eight million?!” Jiang Mu, who was listening on the side, reacted, very startled.

Liang Yan gazed at Chen Xueyun incredulously.

Seeing the two people’s reaction, Chen Xueyun panicked. “I…”

She seized Liang Yan’s hands and said, “Daughter, I’m your mother!”

Liang Yan didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry upon hearing the “eight million.” She felt the ridiculousness of the situation. “I don’t have that much money.”

As soon as Chen Xueyun heard Liang Yan’s answer, her face darkened and she immediately started crying. “How can you not have any money?”

“As a star, you can earn tens of millions of dollars every year. How can you not have enough money!”

“Oh my God, the daughter doesn’t even care about her mother and brother’s life, pushing her brother to go to jail!”

“How did I raise such a heartless, unfilial daughter like you!”

Liang Yan had the urge to cry as she listened to those maddening words. “I really don’t have that much money!”

In fact, in the entertainment industry, you could earn a lot of money, but Liang Yan was just an 18th-line actress, she didn’t earn any money. After she married Lu Lincheng, she had become a 3rd-tier actress but with basically no projects such as dramas. The last of her savings was given to Chen Xueyun and son when they came to ask for money years ago.

Chen Xueyun wiped  her face, suddenly getting up and pushing Liang Yan.

“You married Lu Lincheng, right? If you don’t have money, he probably still has money!”

Liang Yan chilled. “Lu Lincheng and I are divorced.”

They simply divorced, and Liang Yan didn’t ask for even a penny. Lu Lincheng wanted to give the house and the car to Liang Yan, but she took the initiative to cross it out on the agreement.

Seeing that Chen Xueyun was pushing Liang Yan, Jiang Mu rushed to the latter’s side, hurriedly steadied her and glared at the former. “What do you think you’re doing?!”

“Stupid bastard!” Because of her fear of Jiang Mu, Chen Xueyun could only grit her teeth and roar at Liang Yan, “How did I give birth to a daughter like you, who allowed you to divorce him! Besides, who are you fooling? Even if you’re divorced, how much money did he give you? Don’t think you can hide it from me!”

Liang Yan trembled slightly. Her fists were clenched so tightly, and her nails dug in her flesh.

But she didn’t feel the pain.

Liang Yan’s red eyes gazed at Chen Xueyun. “My divorce is my business. The money Lu Lincheng earned isn’t my money, so I don’t want even a single penny.”

Chen Xueyun didn’t give up. “What about your house? What about the car?”

Liang Yan inhaled deeply and stared straight ahead. “It’s all Lu Lincheng’s property, it has nothing to do with me.”

“What about the alimony he gave you?” Chen Xueyen let loose her curses. “No alimony? Did you just let him sleep with you for the past two years with nothing? Are you so cheap? Do you take me for a fool?”

“If you don’t give it to me, I’m going to expose you to the media. Liang Yan earns so much money, but she doesn’t even give about her mother and brother’s well-being. You won’t be able to raise your head for the rest of your life.”

“Your wings are hard now that you’ve grown up? Look at the mirror and see, you eat using the face I, your old mother, gave you!”

Liang Yan just listened to the unpleasant words that her mother spoke, slowly squatted on the floor, then her body shrunk into a ball.

Liang Yan’s heart ached.

Hearing Chen Xueyun’s words, Jiang Mu got so angry that he shouted at the woman, “Shut up! Have you taken care of her all these years? How dare you ask for money now!”

“Who are you?” Chen Xueyun crossed her arms on her chest. “How dare you intervene in our family affairs? I’m teaching my daughter a lesson!”

“You!” Jiang Mu’s eyes were furious.

“What are you guys arguing about?” The mediation room opened and a police officer walked in.

Chen Xueyun hurriedly ran to the police officer, clung to his uniform, and pointed at Liang Yan with the other hand. “Police, do something about my unfilial daughter! She doesn’t care about what happens to her mother!”

Obviously, this was nothing new to the officer who had seen this scene countless times. He pushed Chen Xueyun’s hand and said, “This situation, you can go to court to sue.”

Jiang Mu helped Liang Yan stand up. The latter’s heart was left cold, and she only fainly glanced at Chen Xueyun. “If you want to sue, sue.”

She turned around and left.

Chen Xueyun didn’t expect Liang Yan’s indifference. She ran after her, but was stopped by Jiang Mu, so she could only grit her teeth and exclaimed, “I’m going to expose you! I’m going to expose you to the media!”

......

Liang Yan and Jiang Mu arrived in the car.

Without a glance, Jiang Mu drove back to the apartment.

Jiang Mu parked the car and noticed that Liang Yan didn’t want to get out and was sitting quietly, her eyes dazed.

“I want to be alone for a while,” Liang Yan murmured as she noticed Jiang Mu staring at her. Her eyes were still unfocused.

“Okay.” Jiang Mu glanced at Liang Yan again before getting out of the car and closing the door gently.

Jiang Mu moved two steps away as Liang Yan’s hoarse cries faintly echoed.
