Chapter 329 Love Takes the First Step

Jiang Baige didn't even need to make a phone call to know that it was her mother calling her.

So he called Bai Yunqing's cell phone directly.

"Mom." She went straight to the point, "Did you send me money?"

"Got it? I'm glad you got it."

There was almost no ambient sound from Bai Yunqing's side, so she was definitely not at work. It was Saturday, which meant she was at home.

Her tone was very frank and she was not avoiding anyone.

"My dad went out to buy groceries?"

"No, he's in the kitchen making breakfast." Bai Yunqing knew what Jiang Baige was asking, "I've talked to your dad about this, and he supports it."

Jiang Baige shouldn't have been surprised about this.

Because in her previous life, when she had just graduated, her salary was very low, much lower than her current job, and she didn't have any side jobs to generate income, so her mother gave her the money as a matter of course.

When it comes to giving her money, her parents - or rather her mother, since her mother is in charge of the money in their family - has always tried her best to support her.

If she hadn't quit her job and hadn't broken up with her family, perhaps she could have continued to ask her family for money and wouldn't have starved to death.

But this life is different.

Because she has some savings now, and her salary is not bad, plus the royalties have always been...

Moreover, she has ambitions regarding her own house.

This "ambition" means "independence", which means that she may break away from their expectations, or "control".

If they give her one more penny now, she can save one more penny to realize this ambition.

This may not be a "good thing" for them.

So from the very beginning, Jiang Baige never thought that they would give her money to support her.

But now it seems that maybe they didn't think so long-term at all, and just thought that this matter could help their daughter, so they did it.

Jiang Baige couldn't help but think that she was able to grow up smoothly and freely into a daughter whose expectations were far from or even contrary to her parents' initial expectations, thanks to the gaps in love that existed by breaking free from society's expectations of parents and daughters.

Their love for her came first, so they did not prioritize following society's expectations of training her to be a daughter-in-law of another family, finding a son who had no blood relationship with them, or raising one or two offspring who had no relationship with their surnames.

It’s not that there is no expectation, but that the expectation is a step late. Jiang Baige took some time to grow into herself.

She didn't have to take some detours - of course, she had many confused relationships that led to marriage in her previous life, but overall, she was more loyal to herself.

It's just that the timing was a little off.

As for luck, at this point, it can’t be said to be bad, because she has the opportunity to fight for her dream again.

Bai Yunqing didn't know what was going on in her mind, and was worried that she might have concerns, so she continued.

"Don't feel any psychological pressure... You've just started working hard, and you need money. The rent is so expensive. You've been writing since college, and now you finally have some money. Save it and you'll have peace of mind. If you want to spend money, just tell mom. I can still afford to support you."

This sounds really soothing.

Jiang Baige accidentally revealed her true colors: "I don't have any psychological pressure. I am so happy that someone gave me money."

Bai Yunqing: Okay, okay, I was overthinking because I was worried that you would feel embarrassed to take money from your parents.

So I swallowed back the words "You are lucky to be able to rely on your parents for support. Others want to rely on you but cannot. Besides, it is natural for a mother to help her daughter. How can that be called relying on your parents for support?"

"But, Mom, I think the money you put in is a bit too much."

"Moving doesn't cost money? Buying new clothes doesn't cost money? You are such a kid... Don't just focus on your career, you have to take care of your life too."

Bai Yunqing's tone was full of worry about her daughter's experience in domestic activities.

But what she didn't know was that at the age of 36, Jiang Baige was no longer old enough to pay for beauty or vanity.

When I was young, I also fell in love with bags that cost tens of thousands of dollars, but in the end I found that they were bulky, heavy and difficult to take care of, and were far less light and comfortable than canvas bags.

Other things too.

Beautiful clothes, expensive bags, a wide range of cosmetics... those may not be bad things, but they may be exploited by bad people and eventually lead to a bad result.

Jiang Baige always remains skeptical about those things that have been given too much meaning artificially.

She remembered clearly that in her previous life she had a red camel-hair sweater, which she loved so much that she wore it every winter.

And her dining companion, every winter when she sees her wearing that sweater, would say, "You bought new clothes again, they look really nice."

Since then, Jiang Baige has become demystified by "new clothes": clothes that are worn after a year are considered new clothes.

It is impossible for someone you see every day to remember whether your clothes are new or old.

As for fashion and trends, what do they have to do with her?

When they are converted into the price per square meter of housing in Anjing, everything pales in comparison.

Even if you are not buying a house, you can save it.

Because money is her confidence: to be herself, to pursue her dreams, to not starve to death...all the confidence comes from this.

After hanging up the phone, Xin Zhiping had also finished packing.

The two men met Mo Song at the agency as agreed.

The whole thing went smoothly. After they signed the contract and paid the money, they took the keys and went to the new house together.

According to what they discussed with the landlord, they will replace the door lock, and the installer will come in the next two days.

Xin Zhiping felt a little troubled at the time, but Mo Songru blinked and said, "This is Sister Suo's turn."

She said "lock" instead of "money", and Jiang Baige understood a little: "How do you mean?"

"It's a replacement cooperation with a brand. I advertise for them, and they give me the latest door lock."

Now that electronic combination locks are becoming increasingly popular, it is a good time to seize the market in advance.

But Jiang Baige was more concerned about Mo Songru's career: "Your self-media has taken off so quickly?"

"It's OK." Mo Songru puffed out his chest with some pride, and patted Jiang Baige gratefully, "Thanks to you for giving me an idea for the renovation. In the videos of my recent house-hunting, I began to consciously guide it in this direction..."

The so-called guidance is also very simple. For example, when you see a house and you are not satisfied with the kitchen, you don’t say you are not satisfied. Instead, you say something like, “But I think it can still be used if it is modified in this way or that way.”

Sure enough, some fans called for a makeover video in the comments.

In addition, she already has some fans and cooperative brands, so it is not that difficult for her to get some business.

Xin Zhiping was a little confused: "But we haven't moved in yet..."

"Business meetings are all done in advance, and videos don't necessarily need to be posted once they've been shot. We haven't used up all the footage we had for house viewing before..."

As Mo Songru spoke, his expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Baige and Xin Zhiping followed her gaze and stopped as well.
