Hitting Up The Big Leagues with a Green Tea Personality

Chapter 35

Are You Even A Man?

Xia Bohe was exceptionally tempted.

However, she was not such a pure-hearted person.

An old actor who had been in the industry for a long time had told her that a happy woman must remember to establish an image of self-love in front of her man as well as show love for him no matter what.

Even if this love was fake, as long as it appeared real, it was enough to make a lot of foolish men fall head over heels for her.

The original host’s mother was a selfish person. There was no need for her to destroy her self-loving image and beg for money from men for the sake of such an elder.

Xia Bohe raised her head and looked at Luo Tianlin in front of her.

This man always carried himself calmly and had a lot of experience under his belt, but his personality was dull and cold. He was uncompassionate most of the time, always exuding a kind of indifference all over his body, and appearing superior and majestic to most people.

80,000 was a small number to him.

However, there was no way he could take a liking to an unreasonable woman who only knew how to ask for money from him, right?

With that thought in mind, Xia Bohe lowered her face, concealing the eagerness in her eyes.

“I… can’t ask for it.”

She could hold herself back. After all, wasn’t it only 80,000?

Was it 80,000 that she lacked? No, what she lacked was a large manor of at least 80 million!

She would endure this!

“My… mother, I can’t ask for money from you for her sake.”

Xia Bohe gritted her teeth.

“You didn’t get your money out of nowhere either. I came back to take a bath just now, but you were still at work in a meeting. You made so much money because you worked harder than others.”

Understanding a man’s hardship was also a recognition of his success.

Xia Bohe lifted her head firmly.

“I… can’t take your money.”

…As if!

However, she could also empathize when it came to money. She gradually remembered the days when she used to play the role of an extra and experienced wind and rain with the same crew only to receive a net income of 300 Yuan at most.

It was impressive enough if she could save four or five thousand Yuan in a month.

Moreover, she had to pay for her rent and meals, buy skincare products and clothes, and even attend acting classes. In the end, she could only live from paycheck to paycheck.

It was astounding how the original host’s mother could ask for 80,000 just like that and even dared to yell at her when hearing a man’s voice!

Even if the original host filmed commercials without rest, she still could not amass that much money in such a short time. She would basically be forced to sell her body.

Xia Bohe felt like crying while recalling her past, but the next moment she became furious while thinking of the original host’s mother. Her hands were balled into fists, and this time there were real tears in her eyes.

She looked extremely vulnerable and fragile.

Luo Tianlin’s gaze darkened.

The girl had come near him. Her voice was soft and gentle, and she exuded a sweet scent of strawberry body wash.

Furthermore, due to their proximity, he could even see how the skin on her neck had turned pink from the steam.

“It’s not just a matter of money.”

After a long while, he spoke in a husky voice, his tone low yet not allowing room for any interruption.

Doing shameless stuff with indecent men…

As he thought of that, there was a raging torrent in his eyes. “You should let your mother know.”

“…Who you’re with, and not…”

He could not even bring himself to utter those filthy words!

Xia Bohe was taken aback.

He had heard the original host’s mother scolding her just now and even took her words to heart?

Hiss.

Blinking, Xia Bohe bit her lip and shook her head.

“Grandpa Luo had agreed for us to tell everyone about our marriage after I graduate from university.”

If they announced it now, she bet that the original host’s mother would immediately move into this manor with her son. Why would she care about renovating some damn house!?

“If my mother knew… she would cause you trouble.”

When that time arrived, she would be very bothered!

The original host’s mother would be watching her like a hawk all the time, and due to moral relations, ‘she’ could not be unfilial no matter how over-the-top her demands were.

However, she refused to do that!

She felt that the original host was most probably unconfident because of her mother.

Even when she had agreed on a whim to marry Luo Tianlin but ended up causing a riot after marriage, it was the indirect result of being forced into a corner by her mother.

With all these events combined, she was extremely unwilling to deal with the original host’s mother.

For that reason, it was best for her to avoid the image of a cash cow in front of the original host’s family and not have too much contact with them!

If they knew that she had married into a billionaire family, she would be doomed. The original host’s family would leech off of her even more, and there would be no way she could get rid of them!

“If she asks for too much from you and Grandpa Luo at that time, I, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Xia Bohe closed her eyes with much difficulty, then took a deep breath before opening them. “I’m sorry. Although I’m useless, I’m not ready to become a burden to others, and I don’t want my family to become a burden too.”

There was a slight movement in Luo Tianlin’s dark eyes. “You really think so?”

Xia Bohe nodded.

Luo Tianlin raised his eyebrows instantly.

“I thought that you hid our marriage in pursuit of your true love.”

Xia Bohe was stunned for a while, then she remembered how the original host had repeatedly rioted, saying that she was in love with another man and not Luo Tianlin and that she would divorce him after graduation. Remembering this, goosebumps broke out all over her body.

“I, I… That’s not…”

The scent of fir on Luo Tianlin was as chilling as winter snow.

However, the next moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by footsteps and an exclamation.

Luo Tianlin shuddered and immediately loosened his grip.

His mother Xu Yazhi was frozen in the doorway, holding a tray of fruit and soup.

“I said that I don’t need anything.” Luo Tianlin’s black orbs darkened.

Xu Yazhi looked at him, then at poor Xia Bohe beside him. Her eyes were red, it seemed that she had been crying.

“Tianlin, this is not for you, it’s for Bohe.”

Luo Tianlin raised his eyebrows.

Xu Yazhi gave him a rare glance of disapproval, then turned to look at Xia Bohe sympathetically.

“You’re a man, how could you be so rough to a girl?”

Luo Tianlin, “??”
