In the entertainment industry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Family had always been wary of women from the entertainment circle, as they believed such girls were not clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, Mother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at his parents, Li Yuan’s face showed his usual calmness after a brief moment of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast to Xia Ximeng, Li Xiangyang’s face was extremely unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked over, glanced at Huo Yishan, and then turned to Li Yuan, “I should have told you, it’s best not to play tricks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t understand? I heard everything you said just now!” He was truly shocked; to appease him, Li Yuan actually found an actress to be his girlfriend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Family, how could they possibly allow a woman from the entertainment industry to enter their doors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did I say?” Li Yuan countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to being at a banquet, even though Li Xiangyang was in a terrible mood, he did not shout. As a person who always values appearances, he never does anything that would lose dignity in public, and he understands the importance of not publicly airing family conflicts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to speak when he heard Ruan Qiuting speak on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed urgent as she walked over, her hands demurely folded over her belly, looking at Li Xiangyang, “Uncle, Aunt, don’t misunderstand. What I said just now… I was really just talking nonsense; Miss Huo, she’s not an actress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiangyang actually admired Ruan Qiuting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she came from a good family, was graceful, and was very polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiuting, you don’t need to speak for them, I heard it all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Uncle, you’ve really misunderstood, Miss Huo really isn’t an actress; I… I just thought they looked somewhat alike, so I curiously asked about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiangyang looked at her, thinking she was really a considerate and sensible young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiuting, do you know if she really is an actress, marrying into the Li Family would only bring disgrace to the Li Family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One sentence made Ruan Qiuting suddenly silent. She looked at him, then at Li Yuan, seemingly acknowledging that Huo Yishan was indeed an actress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Huo Yishan was indeed an actress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Li Xiangyang’s words, she couldn’t help but explode!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you mean being an actress would bring disgrace to their family? What’s wrong with being an actress? She was upright, pure and honest, wasn’t she!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, may I ask how being an actress would disgrace your family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her temperament was fierce and urgent, she had always been well-mannered, knowing this was a public occasion, she tried hard to suppress the anger within her that was about to erupt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiangyang immediately turned to her, “Our Li Family will definitely not accept a woman mingling in the entertainment industry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Family was also involved in the film industry; how could they not know that those artists often obtained leading roles by selling their bodies? Such women could never marry into the Li Family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that she was about to clash with her father, Li Yuan couldn’t help but speak up to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>",620,"2026-06-06T09:48:53.182Z",1,"novelbin.me","86b782564dc1ae9b816fee286509d1bf3e98ddedc54e3bd7efd80735ea62c5d4","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-865","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-863",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
