Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Fang Yuan shook her head and continued, "I just think I was stupid before, like a golden bird, only being fed by others, and never thought about improving myself through hard work. Look at me now, I don't know anything."

Hearing this, Zhou Ying didn't know how to comfort Fang Yuan, so she could only say softly, "You are still young, it's not too late to learn now."

"This is the difference between you and me. I don't have your self-drive and courage, so I envy you."

"I had you by my side when I was little, and now that I've grown up I've met Jiang Cheng. I feel really lucky."

Seeing Zhou Ying's eyes sparkling with happiness, Fang Yuan smiled gently and patted her hands lightly.

She said earnestly: "Although you can have everything now relying on Jiang Cheng, as a woman, you still need to have your own skills, so that you can better integrate into this society. Don't be like me, without any survival skills. Look, when your father's company went bankrupt, I couldn't do anything."

Zhou Ying nodded seriously.

"Mom, I understand what you mean. Jiang Cheng is very good to me. I will not let him down. I will also work hard."

Fang Yuan continued to remind him, "Don't think your mother is nagging. Let me give you another example. Look at the current situation where celebrities marry wealthy men. Aren't they getting less and less?"

Zhou Ying thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

"It seems so."

Fang Yuan replied: "In our era, most female celebrities would choose to retire from the entertainment industry once they were spotted by wealthy men. They always said that they had reached a certain age and suddenly wanted to get married and have children, so they chose to retire. In fact, these are just excuses."

"In fact, many female stars are just playthings of rich men. To put it bluntly, if she wasn't pregnant, the man might not even marry her."

Seeing Fang Yuan suddenly say this to her, Zhou Ying couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise, her eyes widened, and she looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.

Seeing Zhou Ying's reaction, Fang Yuan continued, "These are not inside stories. Even if they are not celebrities, most rich people are like this. Otherwise, why would they marry these women who have no status but only good looks? As long as you have money, there are all kinds of beautiful women you can play with."

"Don't think that female stars are high and mighty and look noble. In fact, no matter how beautiful they are or how beautiful their bellies are, they are just ordinary women. In front of money, they will kneel down at any time."

Listening to Fang Yuan's words, I couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion welling up in my heart.

He said stupidly, "I used to think that female stars retiring to get married was a sign of true love. After all, they earn a lot of money and can support themselves. So, when they stopped singing, I was sad for a while. Now that you put it that way..."

Looking at his daughter who is as innocent as a little white rabbit.

Fang Yuan sighed helplessly.

She patted Zhou Ying's hand gently and spoke earnestly.

"Silly child, reality is not as simple as you think. In this materialistic society, money and power can often influence people's choices."

Zhou Ying frowned and asked doubtfully: "Is there no true love?"

Fang Yuan shook her head: "I don't know, but even if there is, it is more precious and rare than you think. So, don't easily believe those marriages that seem perfect on the surface. You must learn to see with your own eyes and feel with your heart. Just like me, everyone thought I was happy, but in the end I didn't get as much as you."

Zhou Ying pouted and said, "Dad is too stingy. If he were still alive, I would definitely give him a good talk."

Hearing Zhou Ying's comforting words, Fang Yuan smiled and touched her hair.

Then he said, "But now, the trend of marrying a rich man has passed. The main reason is that, like your father, rich men can easily go bankrupt, and most of them will ask the other party to sign a prenuptial agreement. Even if they divorce, the woman will not get a penny of property."

"Many women initially think they can hold on to a man's heart in marriage, thinking he will eventually give them his wealth, but often in the end it's all in vain."

Zhou Ying nodded: "I heard that the girl named Tao also came back to help her husband pay off his debts."

Fang Yuan nodded and continued, "Yes, before they went bankrupt, these wealthy men generally did not allow them to stay in the entertainment industry, let alone show their faces outside. They only gave them a few hundred thousand yuan a month for living expenses, but they lingered in nightclubs or nightclubs every night, having fun with all kinds of women, and did not care whether they were photographed by paparazzi or not."

"These female stars, on the one hand, have to endure the strange looks from the outside world, and on the other hand, they are subject to various restrictions, and their lives are far less carefree than when they were making money in the entertainment industry. Therefore, most of them end up getting divorced in the end, and then return to the entertainment industry again, not only wasting their youth, but also becoming a joke in the eyes of everyone."

Seeing Fang Yuan speak for such a long time, Zhou Ying's voice seemed a little weak: "Mom, Jiang Cheng and I are not like this, and he is not old and looks very handsome. Even if we are not together in the future, I will not blame him."

Fang Yuan extended her index finger and gently pointed at Zhou Ying's head, her tone was a little helpless: "I'm not talking about you. You are my daughter, how could I not know you? Look at the crazy look you have next to Jiang Cheng, who doesn't know that you like him?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ying's cheeks suddenly flushed.

She lowered her head and softly retorted, "I... Jiang Cheng is a very loyal person. When he was in high school, he liked another woman and treated her very well. Our whole class knew it."

"He has ever liked someone else?" Fang Yuan looked at Zhou Ying in shock, her eyes full of disbelief.

Zhou Ying nodded: "Yes, when he was in high school, he liked Zhao Jia, who was also our classmate, but later they broke up..."

Zhou Ying told Fang Yuan about Jiang Cheng and Zhao Jia.

After listening to Zhou Ying's story, Fang Yuan was silent for a while, then sighed softly.

I secretly thought in my heart, could it be this past that made him become so fickle?

Seeing Fang Yuan distracted again, Zhou Ying said, "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

Fang Yuan saw this and pulled Zhou Ying aside, asking seriously, "Do you understand what your mother said to you?"

"Yes, I know."

"It doesn't matter if you like Jiang Cheng. It's true that he treats you well, and he should treat you well, so you have to seize the resources he gives you to enrich yourself. In this way, even if you break up in the future, you won't end up like me."
