Chapter 9 Liu Juan also wants to be on TV
"I'm already very grateful for giving me a bed to sleep on. Thank you, Mother Bai." Liu Juan quickly calmed down and bowed to Bai Nian.
She was about to leave with her luggage, but turned back and said, "Can I use your phone? I want to call home."
She seemed very embarrassed. She had been in the village for so long and didn't even have a mobile phone, while her classmates had already used their own phones.
She had mentioned it before, but Bai Nian directly refused on the grounds that studying was more important. She originally thought that the sponsor's family was not well off, but now it seems that is not the case.
I just can't bear to give this money to the sponsored students.
Bai Nian glanced at the butler beside him, and the butler tactfully handed him a spare phone.
There's nothing in the spare unit.
Liu Juan wiped her hands, took the phone, and without finding a secluded place, she entered the phone number digit by digit in the hall and clicked the dial button.
A very irritable voice instantly came from the other end of the phone, "Who is it?"
Liu Juan covered her phone with a bit of embarrassment, "It's me, Mom. I just want to tell you that I'm already in City A. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
The noise on the other end of the phone did not stop. "How is it? Is her family rich? Can you ask for more money? Your brother's tuition for next year is not yet paid. As a sister, you still have someone to pay for your tuition. You can ask for more money, okay?"
Liu Juan subconsciously covered the speaker of her mobile phone, but did not cover it completely, allowing everyone present to hear the sound coming from the phone.
Then he looked at Bai Nian with some embarrassment, "I'm right in front of Bai's mother now, don't say that, I'm already very grateful to her for sponsoring my schooling."
"She's a rich man anyway. What's the difference between sponsoring one and sponsoring two? Can you talk to her about sending your brother over as well?"
Liu Juan hung up the phone immediately after hearing this and returned the phone to the housekeeper. "I'm sorry to make you laugh. My mom is like this. I'm the older sister and she always wants me to take care of my younger brother. And she's worried about his tuition recently."
When she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Bai Nian.
But she was a little disappointed, Bai Nian's expression remained unchanged.
Bai Nian asked after the phone was taken away from her hand.
"In addition to tuition, I also give you 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses. You live in a boarding high school, and your monthly expenses are about 1,000 yuan. Can you tell me where the rest of your money goes?" Bai Nian has a record of every bill. Over the years, she has definitely not given Liu Juan less than a penny.
And the money will be transferred to her card on time.
When it comes to money, Liu Juan suddenly hesitated and her eyes began to flicker from side to side.
The original book did mention what happened to Liu Juan later. After she appeared on the show, she transferred all the money she earned to her hometown. However, when she returned home one time, she was locked in the room by her family and forced to marry an old man in the village.
It's quite miserable, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people, so Lin Nuonuo won't sympathize with her too much.
"You gave it to your brother, right? But your brother's name didn't seem to appear on the list of people our family sponsored." Bai Nian was worried that the sponsored students would transfer all the money to their families, which would defeat the original purpose of the sponsorship.
But she didn't expect that after careful selection, she would choose a girl who concealed her family situation.
But the recipients of the funding had already been determined, so the matter was never mentioned again.
Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Liu Juan could only nod and say, "Yes, but if I don't send the money back home, my mother will not let me go to school anymore."
She has her own difficulties and hopes Bai Nian can understand her.
Bai Nian didn't say anything, but asked the housekeeper to take Liu Juan to her room.
This housekeeper was newly found today. They were afraid that the children would not be able to adapt to having one more person in the house, so they simply hired a housekeeper to take care of everything.
But now it seems that her worries were unnecessary. Liu Juan cannot live here for a long time.
Liu Juan walked towards her room, looking back every few steps. Her mind was now full of her brother's tuition. If she couldn't get it, her mother would find a way to beat her to death when she got home.
Or just sell her to the old man for a dowry.
Either way, she was unwilling to accept the outcome.
Bai Nian couldn't help but sigh on the sofa. He had originally thought that sponsoring a female student was a good thing, and it would also give the children a partner to play with. But now it seemed like he had brought himself into big trouble.
Wang Yan's problem has not been resolved yet, and Liu Juan's problem has popped up again.
All the trouble was caused because of her.
Lin Xiangnan had just finished his work at the company and hurried back.
"What's going on?" When Bai Nian said he wanted to sponsor students, he was the first to disagree. There were already enough children in the family, and what a mess it would be if there was another one.
Bai Nian shrugged, "I just told the director that our whole family will be on the show together. Please ask my husband to bring two months of work to the production team."
Now the company's operation is very free. As the boss of the company, he does not need to keep an eye on his subordinates working 24 hours a day.
But he always said that he was worried that his subordinates would not do a good job, so he always tried to find ways to watch over them.
It's time to change his workaholic habits.
Lin Nuonuo tried her best to calm her pounding heart. Bai Nian agreed. This was her first step to change her family's opinion of her!
As long as she behaves well in the future, her parents and brothers will love her more and more.
She loved these families.
"Who will go on the variety show with you?" Lin Jingyu asked in advance. In the past, he always took Lin Nuonuo alone when he went out to prevent her from crying.
After these brothers got used to their parents' favoritism, they no longer felt any inner anxiety.
Take whoever you like with you, they can’t do anything about it anyway.
Bai Nian glanced at Lin Jingyu and said, "I'm going to take the four of you with me. Nuonuo agreed, right?"
Lin Nuonuo nodded vigorously, "Yes! I want my brothers to be on TV with me!"
Lin Nuonuo suddenly felt a little terrified. She had only been here for a few days, but she actually thought of herself as Lin Nuonuo, the three-year-old youngest daughter of the Lin family. Even though there was an adult soul in her body, she could still think of herself as a three-year-old child.
There were some movements that she thought were funny or even ugly, but now she could do them very smoothly.
It's really strange.
Moreover, she can treat herself as a member of the Lin family without any hesitation, and believes that as long as she behaves well, someone will love her.
What if one day, the Lin family discovered that she was not the original Lin Nuonuo?
