Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

now.

In the capital city, at the Li residence.

A young girl is facing a mirror, gently drawing her eyebrows and eyes.

Her name is Li Yue, and she is seventeen years old.

If Hua Youlin's beauty is like a dignified and elegant peony.

Li Yue was like a delicate rosebud, glistening with dew and waiting to bloom.

She perfectly inherited all the best qualities of her parents.

Even because she took the [Gene Optimization Fluid] as a system reward during infancy, her skin was so white it glowed!

Her features were so exquisite that they looked like a work of art sculpted by God himself.

She also has a tall and slender figure!

Even if you're wearing the simplest white shirt and jeans, you can still make passersby bump into utility poles on the street.

"I am Lin Daiyu...no, I am Wang Xifeng..."

Li Yue looked in the mirror, sometimes frowning with sorrow, sometimes with sharp eyes, acting with great enthusiasm.

"Yueyue, dinner's ready!"

The voice of her mother, Hua Youlin, came from the front yard.

"Here you are!"

Li Yue stuck out her tongue and instantly transformed back into that lively girl, flying away like a butterfly.

......

In the main hall, at the dining table.

Something's off about the atmosphere today.

Li Xuan sat in the main seat, slowly sipping his soup.

Hua Youlin kept a straight face and didn't touch her chopsticks.

"Mom, who made you angry?"

"Did my dad secretly spend money on antiques again?"

Li Yue sat down with a smile and put a piece of pork rib on her mother's plate.

"Don't give me that grinning face!"

Hua Youlin put the ribs back, looked at her daughter seriously, and said, "Li Yue, tell me the truth!"

"What was your first choice on your college application form?"

Li Yue froze, glancing guiltily at her father.

Li Xuan pretended not to see and focused on eating the lion's head meatballs in his bowl.

"Um... Mom, didn't I already tell you..." Li Yue muttered softly.

"You said you wanted to apply to Peking University's medical school or the Foreign Affairs University!"

Hua Youlin raised her voice, "But I ran into your homeroom teacher today!"

He said you're determined to get into the Beijing Film Academy!

"You want to be an actor?"

Hua Youlin was furious at her daughter's decision!

"That's an actor! An artist!"

Li Yue retorted, "Mom, your thinking is so outdated!"

"What era are we living in now?"

"No era will do!"

Hua Youlin slammed her chopsticks on the table. "What kind of place is the entertainment industry?"

"That's a huge melting pot!"

"You are the Li family's daughter, your father's apple of his eye!"

"Going to those kinds of places and showing your face in public, only to be judged by others, what kind of behavior is that?"

"Besides, don't you know how chaotic that circle is?"

"How many of those directors and producers are actually good?"

"If you suffer any injustice, Mom will be heartbroken!"

As a diplomat, Hua Youlin was open-minded.

But she has a deep-seated aversion to the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry.

She hopes her daughter can become a respected professional like her or Li Xuan.

Instead of celebrities who rely on their looks.

"Mom! I just love acting! I'm talented!"

Li Yue's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she turned to Li Xuan for help, "Dad! Please say something!"

"Didn't you say that as long as I don't break the law, I can do whatever I want?"

A few years ago, I was spotted by a director and cast in a movie.

Li Yue developed an immense longing for the profession of acting!

She now has only one dream!

That's to become an actor! To become a big star!

Hua Youlin also looked at Li Xuan at this moment, her eyes sharp: "Li Xuan, you can spoil her all you want."

"But this is non-negotiable!"

"You know how dirty that industry is, are you really willing to let your daughter jump into that fire pit?"

Two pairs of eyes simultaneously focused on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan put down the soup bowl and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Looking at his precious daughter, who was all wronged and on the verge of tears, his heart melted completely.

"Cough cough."

Li Xuan cleared his throat and looked at his wife, "Youlin, actually I think..."

"There's nothing wrong with Yueyue wanting to act."

"You!" Hua Youlin was furious. "This is condoning it!"

"How can this be called indulgence?"

"This is called supporting a child's dreams."

Li Xuan said slowly, "What have we struggled for our whole lives?"

"Isn't it all about giving children the right to choose?"

"If she goes to study medicine or diplomacy to meet our expectations, she won't be happy."

"Then what's the point of us making so much money?"

"But that circle is chaotic!"

Hua Youlin asked worriedly, "What if someone bullies her?"

"What if someone tries to...try to sexually harass her?"

Upon hearing those three words, Li Xuan's expression instantly changed.

The gentle and refined doctor from just now is gone.

Instead, it exudes a domineering aura that sends chills down your spine.

"Unspoken rules?"

Li Xuan sneered, his arrogance and confidence emanating from his very bones.

"Looking at the whole of China, and even the whole world!"

"Who dares to sexually harass my daughter, Li Xuan's daughter?"

He reached out a hand and gently patted his daughter's shoulder, his tone incredibly arrogant.

"Yueyue, if you want to act, then go for it! Dad supports you!"

"Our family has plenty of money and resources!"

"Don't want to be an extra? Dad will invest in you and let you play the lead role!"

"The director dares to scold you? Dad will fire him!"

"If any blind producer... or film company owner dares to have any ulterior motives..."

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a crisp sound.

"Then Dad guarantees he'll regret it!"

Domineering!

Protecting one's own!

Arrogant!

This is the confidence of the head of a top-tier wealthy family!

In the eyes of others, the entertainment industry is a den of dragons and tigers, requiring one to tread carefully.

But in Li Xuan's eyes, it was a backyard garden and a playground built for his daughter!

As long as the capital is large enough, large enough to make the rules!

Then there will be no dye vat, only rainbows!

"Dad! You're so handsome! I love you to death!"

Li Yue screamed, rushed over, hugged Li Xuan, and gave him a big kiss.

"Mom, listen to this!"

"Since Dad has said so, you should just agree!"

Hua Youlin looked at the father and daughter, feeling both annoyed and amused.

She knew that although Li Xuan doted on his daughter, he was never ambiguous when it came to important matters.

Since he dared to make such a statement, it means he was absolutely confident that he could protect his daughter.

The Li family now has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds! Their influence is boundless!

Their financial resources are unfathomable!

Indeed, no one dares to provoke the deity.

"Fine, fine! You two are in cahoots!"

Hua Youlin sighed helplessly, which could be considered a compromise.

"However, we need to agree on three rules."

"First, we can't film those...those messy scenes that show too much skin."

"Secondly, we cannot neglect our academic studies because of filming."

"Third, if you suffer any injustice, you must tell your family immediately; you are not allowed to tough it out!"

"Yes, Mother!"

Li Yue gave a funny military salute, her face beaming with joy.

Looking at his daughter's radiant smile, Li Xuan felt a deep sense of doting affection.

"Xiao Zhang," Li Xuan called out towards the door.

"Here!" Guard Xiao Zhang walked in.

"Tomorrow, go and contact Director Wang, who's making the film 'Dream of the Red Chamber'."

Li Xuan casually instructed, "Just say that I think highly of his play and want to make an additional investment."

"There's only one condition: my daughter must be the lead actress!"

"Yes! Understood!"

Li Xuan turned to look at the dumbfounded Hua Youlin and shrugged:

"If we're going to play, let's go big."

"That's what you call bringing your own investment into the team."
