Chapter 69 -69: The Ordinary Girl Defeated by Vanity (19)
Su Li did not go home as Ma Li had suggested; instead, she continued attending her classes as usual and then spent the remaining time participating in endorsement activities, photo shoots, and online promotions.
The Su Family’s parents, who had threatened to come to her school to find her, had not made any further news.
Su Li paid a little attention and noticed that her cousin, Su Mo, had taken a leave of absence to go home and was not at school.
She was not concerned about these things and did not pay much attention.
She was busy, incredibly busy.
Several talent agencies wanted to sign her.
After thinking it over for a long time, Su Li finally chose to sign with one of the most reputable companies in the industry.
She had never experienced the life of a star.
The company’s intention was to capitalize on Su Li’s current popularity as an internet celebrity and take a strong step forward, arranging various activities and promotions.
Soon, Su Li broke through to become a third-tier celebrity, and her popularity was hot on the heels of a group of second-tier young stars.
However, her position in the second tier was precarious; without a signature work, she could fall from her position at any time.
Therefore, Su Li was extremely busy until Su Mo took the initiative to contact her, which reminded her of the Su Family members she hadn’t been in touch with since the phone call.
“You’re a star now, basking in the limelight… So what, you’ve started to deny your own parents?”
Su Mo stared at Su Li, who hadn’t removed her oversized sunglasses since she walked in, and spoke bitterly.

Su Li flipped through the menu without pausing, not even changing the expression on her face, as if Su Mo across from her was just a breath of air.
Jealousy twisted Su Mo’s face into a grimace; she hated Su Li’s casual demeanor the most and longed to rip off her mask of calm pretense.
Su Mo forgot the purpose of her visit and couldn’t help saying, “I wonder what would happen if your fans found out that you’re a vain and indifferent person… capable of discarding your own biological parents just like that…”
Su Mo’s malicious words filled the entire room.
However, to her disappointment, the panic and confusion she yearned to see never appeared on Su Li’s face.
Su Li, bored, continued to flip through the menu without even lifting her head, “Your visit—your dad and mom don’t know about it, do they?”
“What… What?” Su Mo hadn’t grasped anything from Su Li’s sudden shift in conversation; she hadn’t even understood what was inappropriate in Su Li’s sentence.
Your dad and mom…
She had clearly distinguished herself from them.
“If they knew, they would definitely not let you come in front of me,” Su Li continued.
Su Mo didn’t understand why Su Li had come to such a conclusion, but one thing she said was correct.
She had come to see Su Li alone, without the others knowing.
Setting aside the doubts in her mind, Su Mo forcefully said, “Give me a million…”
“Don’t say you don’t have it. You’re a big star now, this little amount of money, you can definitely afford it…”
People, so accustomed to taking, can become so brazenly entitled, truly disgusting.
Who gave her so much face?
Su Li shifted her position, propped her cheek with her left hand, and looked over with a smile, slowly saying, “I don’t have it.”
She paused for a moment, then said, “Even if I did, why would I give it to you?”
“Rather than giving it to you, I’d be better off buying a few more handbags or bracelets…”
Su Mo was shocked and angry, “I’m your own sister, aren’t I supposed to give it to you?”
Su Li was speechless, pursing her lips in displeasure.
Then, Su Li glanced at Su Mo’s belly intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing this, Su Mo felt uneasy, shrunk back a little, and pulled the sides of her clothes to the center.
The eyes hidden behind Su Li’s sunglasses lit up. She sighed as if inadvertently, “You look like you’ve gained a lot of weight, especially around your little belly, you’ve got some flab there.”
Su Mo panicked for a moment, then immediately forced herself to stay calm, shouting impatiently, “Are you going to give it to me or not…”
Su Li: “No.”
“Fine, don’t regret it.”

“Hey, Aunt, it looks like my cousin might be pregnant. She just came over to ask me for money… It reminded me, didn’t my mom leave a bank card with you for safekeeping? I know there’s two million in it, but you’ve also had a hard time raising me over the years. Accounting for both maintenance and the trouble, one million should be more than enough, right? So when do you plan to give me the rest of the money?”
“There’s no way… I have solid evidence right here…”
Su Mo always came over to disgust herself; it wasn’t a one-time thing. She needed to find something for them all to do.
Su Li didn’t even think about getting back the money her birth mother had left her, knowing that the Su Family was long out of money.
The house they were living in now was purchased with the money from the bank card left by her biological mother.
And over the years, with just the meager salaries of Su Sheng and Ma Li, they couldn’t afford the expenses on Su Mo.
Su Li had been puzzled about how they had the nerve to raise Su Mo so lavishly; turns out they had some savings.
Su Sheng and Ma Li probably felt that by giving Su Li a mouthful to eat, they could enjoy, with a clear conscience, what should have belonged to Su Li.
And after squandering most of the bank card’s money, they even thought of enslaving the original owner, exerting all efforts to squeeze out every last drop.
The original owner’s pitiable life, always entangled in parental favoritism, if she knew all of this was due to selfish human nature, she might be able to let go.
A long sigh arose in Su Li’s consciousness, and with it came a sense of relief, as if some burden had been completely peeled away.
Indeed, the original owner’s resentment had always been difficult to calm.
Since Su Mo left with her harsh words, the Su Family seemed to have completely vanished.
Su Mo never appeared at school again, and the old house was sold. The Su Family moved again, and even the next-door neighbors didn’t know where they had gone.
Su Li had never gone back to her hometown. Those people and those affairs had long since been removed from her life, like a previous life.
It was a long time later when she heard about them again.
And that was from an accidental conversation with a junior at school.
The other person also recounted this as a joke to Su Li.
“Senior sister, do you remember the guy who once pursued you… from the school next door, that heartthrob…”
“He even came to school looking for you multiple times, but ultimately, it led nowhere. I don’t know whose advice he was following, but apparently, he came to ask you to help him debut…”
“I don’t know why he had the nerve to be so shameless, since it’s so clear you two aren’t close. How could he be so delusional?”
“Later on, that heartthrob was embroiled in a huge scandal that blew up… It seems he got a girl from a low-ranked college nearby pregnant, and he didn’t want to take responsibility. The girl showed up at his doorstep with the child, and her parents went straight to the school officials. He almost got expelled.”
“Although he wasn’t expelled in the end, he didn’t have an easy time at school, and after graduation, who knows what happened to him…”
Upon hearing this, Su Li instantly remembered who the person in the story was.
