Reborn as a Rich Man: Top Boyfriend

"Cough cough cough~" Mother Jiang started coughing repeatedly.

"Ouch, why are you choking again?" Tang Rongping quickly took out two pieces of paper from the table next to her and handed them over, her face full of anxiety and worry. At the same time, she reached out and gently patted Jiang's mother's back, trying to help her relieve the discomfort caused by coughing.

"Slow down, you're such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child?" Shi Mei looked at Mother Jiang, her eyes full of concern.

Yu Peilan did not move forward, but quietly leaned aside without making any sound. She silently pushed the glass of water in front of her that she had not yet drunk to Jiang's mother's hand, and her eyes revealed some speculation and suspicion when she looked at Jiang's mother.

After a long while, Jiang's mother finally recovered and stopped coughing. She picked up the water cup at hand, took a sip of water to moisten her throat, and then gently cleared her throat which had become a little hoarse due to coughing.

At this time, she smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I choked by accident just now."

Yu Peilan smiled softly, then asked, "By the way, Qingdai, I don't know what jobs your children do? Are they working at Huaxia Bank as well?"

She asked this because she had noticed that Mother Jiang had heard that Tang Rongping and Shi Mei's sons both choked on water while working at Hua Xia Bank, so she couldn't help but make some associations.

After hearing this, Tang Rongping and Shi Mei also looked at Mother Jiang curiously.

Mother Jiang met their curious gazes and explained frankly without hiding anything: "My children do not work at Hua Xia Bank. My eldest daughter is an actress, and my second daughter and youngest son are still in school."

When Shi Mei heard that it was an actor, her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a new world, and she asked excitedly: "What's your eldest daughter's name? What TV series has she acted in? I usually love to watch TV series, maybe I have seen your daughter act in one."

Mother Jiang smiled and shook her head gently, and replied gently: "No, my daughter is a newcomer. She was an extra before. She recently filmed a drama, but it hasn't been released yet."

She did not go into detail about her daughter’s condition, but gave a brief overview.

Hearing this, Shi Mei's face flashed with embarrassment. She didn't expect that she had guessed wrong. Then she quickly regained her smile and said, "Hahaha, it's good to be a newcomer! When you are a newcomer, you need to accumulate more experience so that you can make a big splash in the later stage."

Tang Rongping at the side also echoed: "That's right, I heard that many well-known and talented actors nowadays have achieved their later success through their unremitting efforts and accumulation in the past."

Mother Jiang nodded slightly to show her agreement with what he said, and then slowly said: "In fact, I don't expect her to become famous. As long as she can live a safe and healthy life, pursue the acting career she loves, and get happiness from it, that's enough."

Her voice was steady and sincere, and her deep love for her daughter was revealed between the lines. Although Jiang Xingtong is now well-known, her mother Jiang always maintains a simple and plain attitude towards her children.

"Isn't it? We don't expect our children to achieve anything earth-shattering. As long as they are safe and happy, that's enough." Tang Rongping nodded in agreement.

In fact, in most ordinary families, parents' initial expectation for their children is often that they grow up safely and healthily. Although in the subsequent education process, many parents may urge their children to study hard and hope that they can enter an ideal university and find a good job, this is more out of consideration for the future life of their children.

Subsequent expectations are also based on the children’s own happiness and health. After all, only when they are healthy and in a good mood can they better enjoy the beauty and happiness that life brings.

"Oh, in this day and age, if you want your children to have less pressure and just be happy, the cost is not small. Qingdai, what kind of job does your husband do? Supporting one child pursuing his dreams and two children going to school must be very stressful." Yu Peilan picked up the drink that the waiter had just brought, took a sip, and spoke casually.

It is easy to say that you should pursue a career you like, especially for those in the entertainment industry. If you want to make a name for yourself, you cannot succeed just by having a passionate heart.

Competition in the entertainment industry is extremely fierce, and it is not easy to stand out. In addition to outstanding talent and good looks, you also need to have enough luck and connections. At the same time, the pressure of public opinion in the entertainment industry is also very high. Once negative news or controversial events occur, it is likely to have a serious impact on the image and career of the artist. Therefore, in order to succeed in the entertainment industry, you must not only have strength, but also have strong psychological qualities and the background ability to deal with crises.

Tang Rongping and Shi Mei wanted to take a sip of the drinks they ordered, but when they heard what Yu Peilan said, they immediately cried out in their hearts, "Oh no!" After the two looked at each other, they looked at Jiang's mother at the same time, with concern in their eyes.

To their surprise, Jiang's mother did not show any abnormality. She looked calm, as if she was just describing an ordinary matter. "My husband passed away a few years ago. I have some financial pressure, but fortunately, my children are doing well in school and receive scholarships every year. The eldest and second child even received free tuition at university, which saved a lot of money for the family."

Hearing this, Yu Peilan paused holding the cup, with a hint of surprise and embarrassment on her face. She didn't expect that Jiang's husband had passed away, which surprised her.

She pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but she didn't say it. She couldn't help but feel guilty, realizing that what she said just now might have touched the other person's sore spot.

She wanted to compare her current life with this classmate who had always been dazzling in her school days, but she definitely had no intention of rubbing salt into her wounds. After all, when she was in school, her family was not well off, and Jiang's mother and the other two still took good care of her.
