"Hiss, I'm finally back." Song Xia collapsed to the ground. How many years had it been since she felt this lightness? Ever since she took that drug during her battle with the cult leader, her body had been tormented by illness. Despite the treatment from Doctor Fan, it had not been very effective.
However, his illness was not only torment. At least, in order to cure him, Doctor Fan and his colleagues devoted themselves to researching medical skills and pharmacology for decades, which made medical technology advance rapidly at that time.
"Xiaxia, you've worked so hard." System Xiaoling nuzzled her face, feeling extremely sorry for her.
"It wasn't hard work at all; we gained a lot of knowledge and energy, didn't we?"
"Xiaxia, do you want to rest for a while? Look, our space has changed."
When Song Xia first returned, she sensed the difference, but she didn't look closely. Now, upon closer inspection, she was sure that the system space was much larger. Moreover, what used to be just a cold and impersonal rest room now had a vast back garden, where all kinds of flowers and plants were thriving and blooming in competition.
Song Xia took a deep breath, the fragrance filling her nostrils, and looked at Xiao Ling in surprise: "This is...why is this?"
Xiao Ling looked shy and amazed: "It's because I collected soil and water from each world I visited, and then tried to plant the seeds of flowers and plants from each world, and that's how it turned into what it is now."
"It's possible to do this without sunlight?" Song Xia found it incredibly unbelievable.
Xiao Ling was extremely excited: "I think this is a reward from Heaven. Xia Xia, there is hope for the restoration of Zero World!"
"Hmm, Xiaoling, you might be able to go home soon, it's amazing!" Song Xia strolled on the grass, she could even feel the gentle breeze.
Because of the new space, Song Xia was able to rest for a longer time this time, and even personally sowed a lot of seeds before choosing the next world.
"Xinghe, can't you talk to your mother properly? You know how much her scandals are affecting you right now."
“I didn’t mean to tell you not to come. My mother’s private life is her own business. She never agreed to me entering the entertainment industry in the first place, so she won’t help me. I can’t selfishly ask her for help.”
“She’s your own mother, this concerns your future! And with such good looks, wouldn’t it be a waste not to go into acting? Since you won’t say it, I’ll say it myself.”
"Brother Dong, I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this."
"You...sigh, how come your mother is like this? Look at Gu Zhiya's biological mother, she'd give her all the resources to promote her. She's clearly not as good as you in terms of looks or acting skills, but just because she has a good mother, she's now more popular and has higher audience favorability than you."
“You can’t make that comparison. My mom… she’s probably lost faith in the entertainment industry and is afraid that I’ll end up like her, living in the spotlight without any freedom.”
“But you clearly love acting, shouldn’t we consider your feelings? Besides, you’re in a great position right now. As long as your mother comes forward to clarify, those negative rumors won’t be transferred to you. I told you to move out of here a long time ago, and not to admit your relationship with your mother in the first place.”
"She's my biological mother, how could I not acknowledge her?"
"But I haven't seen her care about you much."
"Brother Dong, stop talking. It's just some marketing accounts jumping around. The hype will naturally die down in time. I don't want to compete with Gu Zhiya to become a national star. I just want to have roles to play, whether it's a lead or a supporting role, I don't care."
"You're still getting offers now, but later you won't even get supporting roles. Song Xinghe, don't you know the rules of the entertainment industry? Actors without popularity can't choose the roles they want to play!"
Song Xia felt that it was extremely noisy outside, making it impossible for her to sleep peacefully, and the memories in her mind were giving her a splitting headache.
"What's all the noise about!" She came out of the room, her face extremely unpleasant.
Xie Dong, Song Xinghe's manager who had been trying to persuade her, suddenly fell silent, and Song Xinghe was at a loss, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Mom, we're leaving now. Sorry to bother you."
Xie Dong wanted to say something, but faced with Song Xinghe's warning gaze and Song Xia's intimidating aura, he finally fell silent. He had made preparations before coming, so why was it so difficult to even open his mouth in front of Xinghe's mother?
No wonder she was an internationally renowned actress back then. Her aura is truly terrifying. I've seen a lot of things, but I was still completely overwhelmed. No wonder Song Xinghe refused to let me come. It turns out there was nothing she could do even if I came. How did Song Xinghe grow up in such a repressive environment all these years?
"Stop." Song Xia said calmly, and instantly, Song Xing and Xie Dong stopped and stood still, as obediently as if they were standing at attention.
"How strange!" Xie Dong muttered to himself. "Why am I so afraid too?"
Song Xia slowly sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and casually glanced at the two of them: "Sit."
Xie Dong nervously swallowed, and when he noticed that Song Xinghe had his head down and didn't seem to be saying anything, he gave an awkward laugh. He then received a warning glare and sat up straight like a schoolboy who had made a mistake and was facing a stern homeroom teacher.
However, Song Xinghe's mother is really elegant. Even though she wasn't wearing makeup or styled, she looked like she was shooting a fashion magazine just by sitting there.
He suddenly thought of the media's praise of Gu Zhiya's mother, Qiao Leyi, saying that Qiao Leyi was elegant, intellectual, and had a stunning temperament, and was the most beautiful mother representative in China. It was only because Song Xing and her mother did not appear in front of the media that Qiao Leyi would have any place in the spotlight!
Not only is her temperament unique, but her face is also remarkably well-defined despite her age. I heard she drinks heavily, but how come she doesn't have many wrinkles? There are only two or three around her eyes. Her skin condition is even comparable to that of young actors today.
But that's not surprising. Young actors these days have so many commitments that they only get five or six hours of sleep a day. Song Xing and her mother spend most of their time at home drinking or sleeping, which explains their good skin.
But it's hard to believe she still has such a slim and curvaceous figure! I've never seen any gym equipment at the Song family's house! How does she maintain this? Is it just good genetics?
Xie Dong glanced at Song Xinghe. With such a stunningly beautiful mother, Song Xinghe's features and figure were also top-notch. He had never seen her diet much. Was it really a natural talent? He was furious. Why didn't his family have such genes?
The Song family, mother and daughter, were clearly born for the entertainment industry, weren't they? Why doesn't Song Xia allow Song Xinghe to enter the entertainment industry?
Back then, she was incredibly successful, winning numerous awards both domestically and internationally. Although her retirement from the industry was controversial, and this year, due to Song Xinghe, more scandals have surfaced. Given her status in the industry back then, if she were to stand up for Song Xinghe, why would she be suppressed by Gu Zhiya?
