"Why me?"

"Because you're the most suitable." A cheerful little girl's voice rang in Song Xia's mind, causing her expression to freeze.

"I'm not suitable. I'm cold-hearted and heartless. I've even decided to never get married or have children. How could I possibly be a good mother? Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word 'good mother'?"

"Host, the program's most basic settings are error-free. Since we've chosen you, you're the most suitable one."

"Nothing is without flaws, especially not something that's just a programmed system. You can leave now. I can't take care of children, let alone so many of them." Song Xia was speechless when she talked about it. She had worked hard for over thirty years, never slacking off since she started school. Just when she was about to sell her company and enjoy her retirement, she was suddenly bound to a system that was beyond her control.

Moreover, this system isn't like the revenge or counterattack systems in novels; it's a "good mother" system. It tells her to go to different worlds to be a good mother and save children—isn't that ridiculous? She's a woman who's never been in a relationship, and you expect her to be a good mother?

"But host, I'm running out of energy. If I break the bond, you will die completely, and so will I." The child's voice was filled with sadness and caution.

"Aren't you a system? How could you die? And how did I die?"

"Host, have you forgotten? You were caught under the car while trying to save that child. I am currently short of energy and have already traveled through many worlds before binding with you. The consequence of breaking the bond is that both of us will die, and those children will suffer a tragic fate that is not theirs because no one will save them."

Song Xia remained silent after listening, and after a long while, she spoke in a hoarse voice: "If it's a fate that doesn't belong to them, how could it befall them?"

"The world is so vast, and many things are inherently unfair. Humans are just one species among countless others. Why would the rules of the world give special favor to such a small life?"

"Then let me become their mother, what about their original mother?"

"Some of them are unable to protect their children due to their limited abilities, so they make a deal to bless their children with a lifetime of safety. Others are summoned by their children because their wishes are too strong. Host, you don't need to feel guilty. I set the rules when I first created this, and they are very fair."

"And what about me?"

"Each time you travel through time, it's like gaining another life and experiencing another life. You can enjoy your retirement plans in other worlds as well. Host, aren't you curious about what other worlds are like?"

Song Xia was genuinely tempted: "Really? What if I treat those children badly?"

"Every time you are bound to a world, you will inherit everything about that person, including their memories. Of course, in order to protect every child from receiving complete maternal love, I will also erase your memories from the previous world when the next world opens. In that world, you will be them."

Song Xia still found it unbelievable; how could she be one of them?

"Host, do you still insist on unbinding? If you insist, I won't force you."

Song Xia remained silent for a long time before finally softening: "I can't guarantee that I will be a perfect mother."

After a long silence, the system finally heard an affirmative answer and cheered with delight: "No one is perfect. Thank you, Xiaxia, I believe in you."

Song Xia smiled, as if she could almost picture the little system rolling around on the floor with joy.

"Then you should choose a world first!"

After the system finished speaking, Song Xia felt herself enter a white space. Floating in the space were many transparent bubbles, each containing a picture of a child's current situation.

The children's current situation was heartbreaking for her. She even saw a reflection of her past in some of them, their expressions filled with helplessness and panic.

One of the transparent bubbles struggled to reach her. The child inside the bubble seemed to be in great pain, its face flushed and covered in rashes. It was groaning unconsciously and weakly calling for its mother.

"President Song, President Song?"

"Huh?" Song Xia suddenly came to her senses. The bright white light made her close her eyes for a moment, and at the same time she realized where she was.

"Ms. Song, I'm done speaking." The junior employee looked at her nervously.

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting." After saying that, Song Xia turned and left, going straight to the parking lot, leaving the few people in the conference room looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment, once they were sure she wouldn't be coming back, one of them slammed the folder on the table: "I told you she was just here to have fun. She's a complete waste of our time and energy."

"Brother Chen, be careful what you say. After all, President Song is the rightful heir to the company."

"So what if she's the heir? Since she handed the company over to President Xie in the first place, why is she coming back to meddle now? If the company's performance declines, will we all lose our jobs along with her?"

His words struck a chord with everyone, and they all fell silent. Only the female employee who had just reported on the plan retorted: "The Song family has given us the compensation we deserve. We're not here to discuss the company's successor. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can just resign. The Song family belongs to President Song, not you."

She wasn't wrong, and the group remained silent. But Brother Chen couldn't help but retort, "It's true that the company is hers, but it's been managed by President Xie for the past few years. We were all recruited and promoted by President Xie. I only recognize President Xie, so what? She is the company's heir, but she shouldn't squander President Xie's hard work."

Upon hearing this, the others chimed in, "Yes, since President Xie manages the company better, why would she come back?"

"Mr. Xie is her husband, what is there for her to worry about? Isn't it better for him to stay home and take care of the children?"

"If you're not capable, don't meddle. Don't you even understand the principle of everyone having their own job?"

The female employee blushed: "The Song family was doing just fine before President Xie came along."

"Wasn't General Manager Song still around back then?"

"But back then, President Song also made some excellent plans and won over several major clients."

"The past is the past. She's been away from the workforce for several years now. Can she keep up with the changes that have taken place in the last few years? She's working every day and still worried about her child. What can she possibly accomplish?"

"Exactly, we wasted all our time today. Mr. Xie spoils her too much. A woman who can't even manage a household is useless at work."

"If you ask me, I don't know what the company would be like without President Xie. And President Song, why does she have to interfere in the company's business? President Xie loves her so much, what is she suspicious of?"

"Women are just so picky. President Xie is being very kind. I heard he even brings her gifts when he goes on business trips. What more could she want?" Several male colleagues said one after another, belittling Song Xia and women in general. After they finished speaking, they laughed and left.

The female employee felt a surge of anger, her fists clenched tightly. Did these people deserve to have high education? Did they deserve to enjoy their current high salaries and social benefits? She really hoped that President Song could resolve his family matters as soon as possible to clean up the current atmosphere in the Song family.
