Chapter 389 Helping the younger brother, the devil boy Feiyan
It was Lin Chen's first visit to the capital, but at this moment, his attention had been completely attracted by Tong Feiyan, and he could not care about the scenery of the capital outside the car window.
While driving the car, Tong Feiyan's eyes were a little red and she said: "The general situation, I also told you that day, although I am from Xijiang, my parents and my brother are currently working and living in the capital."
"My younger brother was admitted to a university in Beijing. In order to take care of him, my parents moved here. They sold the house at home, and with some money I earned from filming, they bought a house outside the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing.
A three-bedroom house.”
"When my brother came to Beijing to study, he dated a girlfriend. She was from Beijing. The two of them had been dating for several years. They were almost in a relationship and were ready to get married. But we didn't expect that the other girl's parents made some suggestions for us.
Conditions that are unacceptable to the family.”
"What are the conditions?"
Tong Feiyan had already mentioned this matter a bit on New Year's Eve, but did not discuss it in detail, but Lin Chen already had some vague speculations in his mind.
"Speaking of which, you have to blame me for this. The TV series I starred in was broadcast at the beginning of the year. After the other party's family saw it, they recognized me. They thought that since I have starred in TV, I should be considered a big star, so for our family
New conditions were proposed.”
"They asked my family to prepare a large sum of money for the wedding, and they also asked my brother to provide a house and a car, and the house cannot be lived in with my parents."
Lin Chen asked: "How much do they want as a gift?"
"Eight hundred and eighty thousand...the car must be about one million, and the house must be within the third ring road. I have seen the house they are interested in, and it costs about 9 million...and it cannot have a loan."
Tong Feiyan said solemnly.
Lin Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Such a high condition? Do they really regard you as a big business owner?"
In the eyes of many ordinary people, they always think that celebrities must be very rich people who visit high-end places all day long, but in fact, Lin Chen knows that this is not the case.
Especially since it is still 2012, it is still far away from the days in his previous life when an 18th-tier starlet could earn millions a year.
It’s true that Tong Feiyan’s career has gradually improved recently.
But for a celebrity like her now, she can only get paid more than a hundred thousand yuan for an episode of a TV series. She can get a little more from endorsements and commercials, but it won't exceed one or two million.
After all, Tong Feiyan's previous manager's standard was too low and her talents were wasted. Tong Feiyan's career really started to take off only after she signed a contract with Chenling Entertainment.
But it hasn't even been half a year since she joined Chenling Entertainment, and it's still very early for Tong Feiyan to really become famous, so the request made by Tong Feiyan's brother's in-laws is really difficult.
I am afraid that even if Angela, who has become famous overnight and is extremely popular, it is still impossible for her to meet these conditions.
"What about your parents? Didn't they talk about it? They didn't all agree, right?"
"Yes." Tong Feiyan nodded: "My parents are actually the same as them. They also think that I can meet these conditions. When I said that I couldn't afford that much money, they said that I was unwilling to pay for my brother..."
"Later I had no choice but to say that I needed to save some money to get married, and they asked me to call my boyfriend to come to the capital. If I really had a boyfriend to get married, they would find another way."
"Will they really think of another way? I don't think so," Lin Chen said.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that Tong Feiyan, a woman who looked so strong on the outside, was actually a demon who helped her younger brother.
It's okay for her to become a star, make some money, and use some money to take care of her family, but she has to pay for all the expenses for her brother's wife, which is completely unreasonable.
Tong Feiyan earned all the money herself, what does it have to do with her brother?
Her younger brothers are both employed. Is it a problem for them to make money to buy a car, a house, and support the family? Why does her sister have to pay for everything?
Is it her brother or Tong Feiyan who is getting married?
Lin Chen really looked down on this kind of woman.
However, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. If Tong Feiyan wanted to do this, Lin Chen wouldn't be able to say anything.
"Actually, I think you shouldn't get involved in this matter. If your brother wants to get married, you, as the sister, can just give him a sum of money as a betrothal gift. Can't you let him figure out the rest by himself?" Lin Chen asked tentatively.
road.
"You don't understand... When we were young, my brother almost fell ill and died because I didn't take good care of him. I made a wish at that time that I would take good care of him in the future..." Tong Feiyan said.
"So you are a sister and a mother at the same time? Tong Feiyan, you are my employee, so I am telling you this. If a man cannot be independent, he will not be able to succeed in the future, and the first thing to be independent is financial independence."
In his last life, Lin Chen had heard that Tong Feiyan's family had some problems. Unexpectedly, the problems seemed to be more serious in this life. Lin Chen didn't want Tong Feiyan to become a slave to his family in the future, so he wanted to remind her.
But before he finished speaking, Tong Feiyan interrupted: "Lin Chen, do you think it's inappropriate for my family to treat me like this?"
"That's right."
"Thank you for thinking so. In fact, I also know that at home, my parents' attention was always on my younger brother, and they hardly cared about me. No matter what I did before, they would never
Praise me."
"When I got good grades, they said I was lucky. When others complimented me on my beauty, they asked me not to be so pretty and asked me to cut my hair short. When I went to the capital to make a living, they said I didn't want this family and was deliberately
Make them suffer. No matter what I do, they will never say anything good about me, except when I help my brother."
"I still remember that when I made money and bought them a house in the capital, and even wrote my younger brother's name as the head of the household. It was only that time that my parents praised me for the first time."
"So, if I really couldn't come up with so much money this time, I would still be willing to use my savings on my brother..."
Hearing Tong Feiyan speak her innermost thoughts, Lin Chen suddenly understood why Tong Feiyan lived such a humble life in her previous life. All of this was precisely because she had not received love from her family since she was a child.
Because of the lack of love, she has been living to satisfy others. Even if she is hurt because of it, she will still suffer it silently.
Subconsciously, Lin Chen suddenly blurted out: "Yanyan, you don't actually need to live for others. Although your parents don't love you, there are still many people in the world who like you and love you. You should think more about yourself."
Lin Chen's words surprised Tong Feiyan, but she was also a little moved. She suddenly wanted to know if Lin Chen was among the people who liked her that Lin Chen said.
