Following the press conference, social media platforms around the world were abuzz with excitement, as concrete experimental data presented the facts, demonstrating that a problem that had plagued humanity for millennia had indeed been solved!
Moreover, after being informed by science, netizens discovered that they might have witnessed human evolution, which further enhanced their admiration for Song Xia's greatness. Some extreme individuals even revered her as a deity.
Of course, Song Xia strongly disagreed with this attitude and later came forward to explain, but unfortunately some people just insisted on their own views, so Song Xia simply let them be. After all, she didn't have much time to waste on this, and even having dinner with Song Jiao and Song Jun was a rare opportunity she had managed to free up.
"Sister, you're amazing!" Song Jiao clung to her hand, "Sister, do you know how much people's opinions of me have changed because of you? Before, those haters said I was a low-class actress, but now they don't bring up my profession anymore."
Song Jun coldly said from the side, "Using a profession to attack someone is always the most foolish thing to do. Such people are either malicious or insecure. Why bother arguing with them?"
"I don't care about their opinions, but I feel sorry for my fans. It's too tiring to argue with people like that every time. Now that I'm here, who will dare to say anything bad about me?"
“It’s understandable that celebrities are envied for gaining extraordinary attention and wealth. Just keep a positive attitude. There’s no need to feel uneasy just because you think you’re benefiting from my fame. We’re sisters after all,” Song Xia said with a faint smile.
"Sister, you're so kind."
Is it okay? Song Xia thought about it carefully. Her previous life was indeed good, but in this life she had only fulfilled the basic responsibilities of a guardian. She never expected the changes to be so drastic. She could only say that she had not yet figured out the complexity of human nature.
"Sister, this is a gift I brought for you." Song Jiao took out several large bags of things. She opened one at random and found that they were all extremely precious luxury items, but she gave them away without batting an eye, as if she was afraid that Song Xia would not accept them.
"Sister, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't refuse it, okay?"
She asked this because Song Xia had already refused too many times before, which made her so uneasy. Heaven knows how much time she spent preparing these gifts, which she felt were precious and barely worthy of her sister.
Song Xia sighed helplessly: "I already said that I don't usually need it, so I'll let it go this time, but don't do it again next time."
Song Jiao cheered and didn't hear the last sentence. She earns so much money and donates so much of it. Even if her sister doesn't need it, she will still buy it for her. She wants her sister to have the best!
Compared to Song Jiao, Song Jun was much poorer. After all, with his position, unless he did illegal things, his normal salary was only enough for him to live a moderately comfortable life.
Song Jun would never do anything illegal for short-term gains, because he wanted to climb to a higher peak and become someone who could protect his sister. Although his sister was already very capable, he knew that there were many people, both domestically and internationally, who were jealous of her talent and coveted her experimental results. His sister's future achievements would go far beyond this, and he wanted to catch up with her as soon as possible.
Don't underestimate him just because he's just an ordinary junior staff member now. Once he's promoted, even if he doesn't do anything, his power will be enough to make some people with ulterior motives back down.
"Sister, let me toast you."
Song Xia raised her glass. She admired Song Jun's current composure. She had a premonition that the peak Song Jun was about to reach would be even higher than she imagined, which made her even more anxious.
"Xiao Jun, I want to give you some advice. Now that you're in this position, you should focus on doing your job well and serving the wider community, instead of climbing the ladder for your own selfish desires. I don't want you to make mistakes."
Song Jun's eyes did not dodge: "Sister, I won't make mistakes. Whether it's personal desires or public duty, I will do my job well, and the final result will be the same."
Song Xia was speechless. Thinking about it, it made sense. No matter what you thought in your heart, as long as you did the job well, it didn't seem to make any difference.
"Xiao Jun, I wish you a bright future."
"Sister, I won't hold you back."
After the gathering, the three of them went to the cemetery to offer incense to Song Tianpei's father. Unexpectedly, they ran into Song Tianfang, who was waiting for them there.
These past few days, Song Tianfang had been driven to the brink of desperation. Those who had given her gifts and cash were pressuring her to give them back since she hadn't arranged a meeting yet. But it was absolutely impossible for her to return what she had received. Thinking that no matter how busy Song Xia was, she couldn't possibly miss coming to pay her respects to Song Tianpei, she decided to wait here. Unexpectedly, she actually managed to catch her.
"Xiaxia." Song Tianfang rubbed her hands together and stepped forward, accompanied by her husband, Sun Tao.
After many years apart, both of them had become somewhat hunched over. Upon seeing this, Song Jun smiled contemptuously: "Second Uncle, where are you working now? You were so arrogant back then, you must have been promoted by now, right?"
He asked this on purpose because he already knew that Sun Tao's temporary post was gone: "Second Uncle, I've just been promoted to clerk and there are many things I don't understand. I was just thinking of asking you for advice. You know many leaders, could you take me to visit them and say a few words?"
Sun Tao's eyes darted around. How could he know any leaders, and how could he speak in front of them? It was truly unexpected that these poor kids who used to be unruly and wore old clothes had become so successful, even the worst one, Song Jun, was now working for the government.
Thinking back to his arrogant words in front of these three people years ago, he felt ashamed. He said that Song Tianfang could have come alone, but he insisted on dragging him along.
“What does your second aunt’s husband know? He used to be arrogant. You younger generation shouldn’t take it to heart. He doesn’t even have a job now, how can he give you advice?” Song Tianfang tried to get closer to Song Xia and the others by putting her husband’s face first. “Xiaxia, Xiaojun, Xiaojiao, your second aunt is here to apologize to you. Look, your second aunt just cleaned your eldest brother’s tombstone.”
Song Jiao rolled her eyes: "Stop talking nonsense. No matter what your purpose is, we will not agree."
"Xiao Jiao, you're a big star now, how can you still talk so willfully?"
“Xiao Jiao’s words are my meaning.” Song Xia said directly, “Second Aunt, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. It’s your business if you come to see Dad. We can’t just wipe the slate clean because of this. Please move aside. We are all very busy and don’t have time to chat with you here.”
Song Tianfang's face stiffened: "Xiaxia, what do you mean by this? How can you disregard all sentiment in front of your father?"
“If we were doing poorly now, I believe you, Aunt, would never have come to see Dad.”
After Song Xia finished speaking, Song Jiao added, "So stop pretending. It's useless, Second Aunt. You'd better watch yourself."
Seeing that all three of them were adamant, Song Tianfang panicked completely.
