This Is A Mess But It Is Smth - Tumblr Posts

you see, the relationship between lu mengran and her parents is actually more distant than one would think. while they rarely get into any huge arguments -- and that's because they barely stay in contact with each other to start with -- it also means when they do get into one, it's as bad as it gets. i imagine mengmeng would get injured or sick sometimes, maybe during filming or because of something else, and naturally she wouldn't even think about telling anyone because there really isn't any point to, but as she slowly starts getting more public recognition, it gets harder to hide a secret sometimes so it's easier for her parents to find out online. and when they call her to confront her about it, it will not be pretty. her mother's "you never tell us anything, why would you hide this from us?" and her father's "do you even treat us like your parents?" would just sound harsher than expected, especially to a sick person. how do you expect your child to lean on you for support when you've left them alone for the most of their childhood, and even now? and honestly, playing the parent role right now to her is just meaningless because to her, she's past the age of needing parents? at least she managed to survive just fine so far? and maybe, if you think about it, it's smart of her parents to play nice to her now because she (eventually) makes the most money in the family as her career grows so.
