Villainous Movie Queen (20)
Just as Song Xu Yi had expected Zhao Qingyu was the
first to see the message that she had sent.
There were many things in her heart that she wanted to
say, but Zhao Qingyu forced herself to contain her complicated feelings until
she repeated a few words, "I know thank you."
When the assistant brought in the package and saw the
name of the sender from a certain university, she consciously handed the
package to Zhao Qingyu, but Zhao Qingyu did not take it as she always did.
Zhao Qingyu hung her head down and looked at the light
of the mobile phone casting a light shadow on her pretty face, obviously her
face was expressionless but the assistant felt that Zhao Qingyu seemed... very
sad.
The assistant was a bit puzzled: she had obviously
rushed back to the city after filming, and as soon as she heard that Miss Song
had sent her something, she called the crew to forward the package by the
fastest courier, yet when it arrived, she didn't seem to be in a hurry
anymore...
"Sister Qingyu?" The assistant hesitantly
called out to Zhao Qingyu.
"It’s been rough for you." Zhao Qingyu woke
up as if she was dreaming, seemingly carelessly pointing to a corner in the
ward and once again looking at the phone, "You put the package
there!"
"You shouldn't be too tired either," the
assistant said hesitantly as she put the package away, "If Auntie were
awake, she wouldn't want to see you so upset."
"Thank you." Zhao Qingyu raised her eyes to
look at her assistant and curved her lips to reveal a smile, "You've had a
hard time accompanying me these few days, go back and rest for a couple of days
before coming back..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine," Zhao Qingyu shook
her head when she saw her assistant's hesitant look, "I knew this day
would come a long time ago, and I want to be alone with my mother for the next
two days..."
"Then you eat something too you haven't eaten in
days."
The assistant was naturally too shy to stay any
longer, and ordered a takeaway for Zhao Qingyu before leaving the ward.
Zhao Qingyu did not notice that the assistant bit her
lip and looked thoughtfully at the package in the corner several times as she
left.
As soon as the assistant left, the whole ward
immediately fell silent.
Zhao Qingyu glanced at her mother, who was on a
ventilator, pulled the blanket and sat next to her mother to look at her phone
again.
On her mobile phone, several people were reporting to
her on the progress of their recent work:
Everything was going as she had expected: several of
the people she had trained had been recruited by Song Jun's company and were
already scattered throughout Song Jun's departments, and two of them were
trusted by Song Jun.
No matter what, Zhao Qingyu did not want to admit that
she was regretting it.
When that time comes, Song Xu Yi will definitely
regret becoming friends with her, and will even regret saving her.
Instead of letting Song Xu Yi come back to despise her
then, she should gradually distance herself while she is still relatively
decent and keep the last bit of her poor, despicable self-respect...
Zhao Qingyu felt ready to face all this.
But why is it so difficult?
It was as if her heart was clenched tightly by
something, afraid to hear Song Xu Yi's name, afraid to see all the messages
related to her, the thought of her, as if all the oxygen had been lost at once,
suddenly the heartache was so great that it was impossible to breathe——
Zhao Qingyu finally opened the package that Song Xu Yi
had sent over.
Inside the package were some dried meat and dried
fruit, as well as a few scented bags embroidered with various auspicious
designs: the scented bags were ready-made, but the herbs inside them were
custom-made by Song Xu Yi for Zhao Qingyu.
Zhao Qingyu clutched the scented bags and carefully
hung all of them on her mother's bed, finally unable to resist, she hugged her
unconscious mother's hand and sobbed softly.
"Mom, I'm so sad!"
This should be Song Xu Yi's last gift to her, right?
The most important people and events in Zhao Qingyu's
life are all on top of this tiny hospital bed at this time.
With a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars,
countless flowers and applause, she seems to have it all, but in the end, she
can't keep what she wants most...
While Zhao Qingyu is quietly pulling out a large net
and waiting for Song Jun to enter it, Song Jun is also investigating Zhao
Qingyu's origins, however, apart from finding out that his own mother has been
in contact with Zhao Qingyu, nothing else has been found out.
And in the process, along with a stroke, Song Jun's
grandmother was completely paralysed, yet even while in her hospital bed she
kept drooling and murmuring, "I'm sorry, please let me go..."
The doctor said that his grandmother did not have long
to live.
Song Jun guessed that his grandmother had done
something wrong and that was why she was so frightened. He did not want her to
go to the other world with remorse and guilt, so he decided to go straight to
Zhao Qingyu and ask her about it.
However, when Song Jun went to inquire with people in
his circle, all he got was the news that Zhao Qingyu had recently suffered an
injury during filming and was recuperating in secret.
At this stage, no one knows where Zhao Qingyu is
currently.
Song Jun mobilised all his contacts, but all he got
was the reply "Sorry, Miss Zhao doesn't want to see anyone at the
moment".
Things seemed to have come to a standstill for a
while.
But Song Jun knew there was another person who knew
how it all began.
Song Jun tightened his eyebrows and hesitated for a
long time before finally driving somewhere.
"Mom."
Song Jun looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman
in cheongsam in front of him and spoke with mixed feelings. He had not seen his
mother for a long time, and only when he looked closely did he realise that her
body was also tinged with the signs of age, with layers of creases already
appearing at the corners of her eyes.
"What's going on between Grandma and Zhao
Qingyu?"
The woman didn't just skim over him as usual, she
stood down, squeezed the string of Buddhist beads in her hand and gave Song Jun
a complicated look, "It's time you knew everything too."
From the woman's mouth, Song Jun learned of a story.
The story of how a woman adored his father when she was
young, how she unashamedly had a fling with him through drunkenness at the
urging of his grandmother, how she was from a privileged family and thought it
didn't matter if his father didn't like her, and how she wanted to bring up her
child alone, only to have his father take them back to the Song family when
Song Jun was three years old, and the two families had a feast and a marriage
certificate.
But it is only after marriage that the woman realises
that the man she loves is only a figment of her imagination: the true him,
weak, selfish and prideful——cannot stop thinking about another woman.
With indignation, she investigated the other woman and
was overwhelmed by the results:
The woman named Zhao Fang is unmarried and pregnant
with a child, her future is ruined and she is having a hard time.
Song Jun's grandmother, who dislikes the fact that
Zhao Fang is from a poor family and is likely to suffer from sleeping sickness
and will not live past the age of 30, forces Song Jun's father to kick her out
of the house and bring her and her son. Neither of them knew that Zhao Fang was
already two months pregnant when she was thrown out.
"Your grandmother did evil things then, and this
is her karma!"
"And I had my karma. You loved your father so
much as a child, and I was afraid that your father would threaten you by
bringing them back after he found out that Zhao Fang had a child, and when your
father was secretly investigating them, I erased the traces of Zhao Fang's
mother and her child, so that your father and grandmother would think that Zhao
Fang had died long ago..."
"I was so disheartened afterwards that I could no
longer face your grandmother and father, and I gradually came to hate you. I
think I was probably sick at that time, always thinking that if it wasn't for
you, I wouldn't have fallen into the mud that is the Song family again, turning
into such a disfigured form to wreak havoc on another woman, and even
entertaining the thought of strangling you..."
"I was afraid that I would end up really hurting
you, so I moved out on my own. It wasn't until your father recited Zhao Fang's
name when he was dying, thinking that maybe Zhao Fang living past thirty would
allow them to see each other one last time, that I went looking for her and her
child again..."
"A young and beautiful woman like Zhao Fang was
living at the bottom, everyone wanted to bully the two of them, Zhao Fang was
stubborn and always kept her principles, at that time when I first found Zhao
Fang and her daughter they were having a
bad time, I gave them a hand and secretly arranged a job for Zhao Fang,
thinking that Zhao Fang could support her and her daughter with her work, after
that I stopped paying attention to them..."
"Yet by the time I went to check on her, I found
that she had gone mad. This poor woman made it past the age of thirty and tried
to go back to your father to take his daughter to claim her ancestors, only to
find that your father already had a wife and even a son..."
"Naturally Zhao Fang was too mad to work anymore,
and when I went there, her daughter was starving and skinny at a young age
rummaging through the rubbish for food, collecting bottles everywhere to pay
for her school fees, being chased by dogs for a meat bone..."
"It was then that I realised the sins I had
done," the woman shed tears, "I sent Zhao Fang to the best treatment
facility, sent that child to school, funded her business, watched her grow more
and more brilliant and dazzling, but never dared to appear in front of them..."
"Who are we to appear before them?"
The woman looked at Song Jun with a bitter smile,
"Me, your father, your grandmother, and even you, each of us are
considered the executioners who drove Zhao Fang crazy..."
"All of us, we don't deserve to be forgiven..."
Song Jun no longer knows how he got home, and the
truth is even more absurd than he imagined: it turns out that Zhao Qingyu is
his half-sister.
The grandmother is afraid of Zhao Qingyu because she
looks like her mother Zhao Fang, right? The grandmother thinks that Zhao Fang
died after being kicked out and thinks that Zhao Qingyu is Zhao Fang's ghost
coming back to take revenge...
Song Jun knows that his grandmother is not a good
person, yet anyone in the world is entitled to condemn her, but not Song Jun,
who is loved and cared for by her.
How could one have the face to invite Zhao Qingyu
over? Just as his mother had said, none of them had the face to stand in front
of Zhao Qingyu and her mother to beg for forgiveness...
Song Jun got drunk and hugged Sun Wan with tears
streaming down his face promising, "Wan Wan, everything will end in our
generation. I will never fail you, no matter if we are poor or rich, we will be
together..."
In front of Sun Wan, Song Jun had always been a
dignified and confident man, who had never looked so weak.
Sun Wan had been moved by Zhao Qingyu's words earlier
and had indeed felt some resentment towards Song Jun's concealment, but at this
moment, her heart for Song Jun overwhelmed all resistance. She soothed Song Jun
to sleep, remembering the pile of sponsorship materials she secretly saw in
Song Jun's study in the afternoon, remembering that Song Jun had been busy
looking for Zhao Qingyu everywhere recently, and that Zhao Qingyu had avoided
meeting him...
Sun Wan couldn't resist dialing the phone number that
she had called once before, yet there was no answer.
She was so anxious in her heart that she simply sent
another text message over, "Zhao Qingyu, I already know about Song Jun's
mother's sponsorship of you over the years. I don't know what you want to do,
but no matter what, even for the sake of Song Jun's mother, you should come out
and make things clear, you shouldn't avoid Song Jun..."
Half an hour later, Zhao Qingyu's phone call came
through.
Zhao Qingyu's voice on the phone was incomparably
withdrawn, as if she was suppressing some intense emotion.
"Are you saying that the person who has been
sponsoring me all these years... is Song Jun's mother?"
Song Xu Yi was not aware of these things.
A few days later, she received a call from a woman in
the evening after school.
"Hello, is this Miss Song? I am Miss Zhao
Qingyu's assistant, and I often send gifts to you on her behalf, so I have your
number."
"Sorry for taking the liberty to disturb
you," the assistant's voice on the phone was a bit anxious, "Miss
Zhao Qingyu's situation is a bit bad right now..."
According to the assistant, Zhao Qingyu had been out
of sorts after a phone call a few days ago, and her entire spirit seemed to be
in a trance, and the person who had never touched a drop of alcohol had
actually started drinking, plus the fact that her mother had once again been
given a critical illness notice, the assistant was worried that Zhao Qingyu
might not be able to think straight...
The assistant had followed Zhao Qingyu for so many
years, and although Zhao Qingyu seemed to have many friends as a modest person,
the assistant could see very clearly: Zhao Qingyu had never taken the
initiative to contact anyone other than Song Xu Yi, and when talking about Song
Xu Yi, there was a soft light on Zhao Qingyu's whole face that was different
from the past.
That's why the assistant wanted to contact Song Xu Yi
in the first place.
……
After hearing the assistant's explanation, Song Xu
Yi's entire body was stunned at that moment.
When Zhao Qingyu did not contact her for a long time,
Song Xu Yi thought that Zhao Qingyu was struggling with the issue of revenge,
and did not want to interfere with Zhao Qingyu's decision, so she thoughtfully
gave Zhao Qingyu time to think about it, but she did not expect that Zhao
Qingyu's mother was already critically ill...
How sad Zhao Qingyu must have been all this time!
She has a preconceived notion that Zhao Qingyu is a
powerful and indestructible villain, but she has forgotten that Zhao Qingyu is
also a living, breathing person who can shed tears and feel sad...
Song Xu Yi was incomparably ashamed of her neglect of
Zhao Qingyu during this period of time, and immediately took a few days off
from school and hurried to the hospital address mentioned by her assistant.
"Sister Qingyu's mother is in the emergency room
again, and this time it's likely..."
When Song Xu Yi arrived at the hospital, it was
already late in the evening. The assistant picked up Song Xu Yi outside the
hospital and guided her with a sad face to the emergency room.
The red light outside the emergency room was
blindingly bright, and Song Xu Yi saw Zhao Qingyu on the bench outside with her
head hanging low.
Song Xu Yi could not tell what she felt at that
moment, but she only felt a sudden stabbing pain in her heart:
The Zhao Qingyu in her mind had always been proud and
strong, even when she was in danger in the cave she still had a spiritual
strength about her that made it seem as if nothing could defeat her...
And yet the sight of the lifeless Zhao Qingyu... makes
it appear that she has lost her spirit.
Song Xu Yi didn't know what was happening, but she
could feel it: at this moment, Zhao Qingyu was... really distraught.
"Qingyu..."
Song Xu Yi found that her throat was suddenly a little
dry and hoarse, and she moved forward in a daze, wanting to give Zhao Qingyu a
hug, when a loud noise jolted behind her, the green light came on and the
doctor pushed open the door, sighed and shook his head towards Zhao Qingyu,
"I'm sorry, we did our best."
"Ms. Zhao Fang has come to her senses and she has
a few words to say..."
Zhao Qingyu immediately stood up.
Her face was almost pale, and because she had stood up
in such a hurry, she was unsteady on her feet and even stumbled a little, walking
into the operating room...
Song Xu Yi hurriedly followed behind Zhao Qingyu.
The cloudy light faded from the eyes of the bony woman
on the hospital bed, and she looked at the teary-eyed Zhao Qingyu with a long-lost
smile, "Don't cry, Qingyu, you won't be pretty if you cry..."
"It's mom who's sorry," the woman sighed
softly, "blame mom for making it so hard for you all these years."
"Mom has always wanted to give you the happiest
life, but in the end it was me who dragged you down the most instead. In fact, mom
has always wanted to tell you that in her heart, it is you who matters
most..."
"Don't go on hating! The affairs of our generation
shouldn't involve you anymore, my family’s Qingyu is so beautiful and
outstanding, she deserves a better life," the woman strained to hold onto
Zhao Qingyu's hand, "Qingyu, promise mom, okay?"
Zhao Qingyu bit her lower lip tightly, her teeth
biting deeply, yet the pain in her body was no match for the pain in her
heart...
Looking at the hopefulness in the woman's eyes, Zhao
Qingyu closed her eyes.
In the end, rolling teardrops slid down the corners of
her eyes...
Zhao Qingyu nodded.
The woman curled her lips into a smile, but her eyes
were full of bitterness: she was uneasy about her stubborn daughter, yet it was
too late...
What can she do for Qingyu?
The woman's gaze went back to Song Xu Yi, who was
watching all this worriedly, and remembering how her daughter had confided in
her about her admiration for this girl during her days of madness, a strong
hope suddenly sprang up in her heart...
If it's her, she should be able to do it, right?
"You're Xu Yi, right?" She smiled and
extended her hand towards Song Xu Yi, "Really, Qingyu hasn't even cried
yet, why are you crying so pitifully?"
"You're a good girl, more lovely than I
thought," the woman put Song Xu Yi's hand over Zhao Qingyu's. Zhao Qingyu
lowered her eyes, her body twitched as if she wanted to pull her hand out, but
Song Xu Yi was quick to hold her hand...
"Thank you!" As the woman watched this, the
smile on her lips deepened, her voice gradually became softer, and she slowly
closed her eyes...
"My family, Qingyu, is counting on you!"
……
Zhao Qingyu had long ago arranged a grave for Zhao
Fang, who was all alone and did not know anyone in the city, so few people came
to pay their respects.
Zhao Fang's bones were cremated and buried after only
two days of mourning.
The next night, unexpectedly and surprisingly, Zhao
Qingyu finds a woman in a cheongsam and Song Jun and Sun Wan in black suits.
The three didn't come in the funeral hall, but just
bowed a few times from a distance towards it.
Zhao Qingyu glanced at those three and withdrew her
eyes indifferently.
When she learned that Song Jun's mother was Aunt Liu,
who had sponsored her, her obsession with revenge was like a pot of cold water
suddenly poured over a blazing fire, her heart still burning with resentment,
but it had already turned into the embers after the blazing fire, stinging and
full of sores.
What an absurd and awful world.
Suddenly unable to take an interest in anything, her
heart felt like it had instantly burst into a hole, overwhelmingly tired and
empty, leaving only a cold breeze echoing.
Zhao Qingyu watched as her mother's ashes were slowly
buried in the cemetery.
The coffin is lowered and a monument is erected...
She sat on her knees before the headstone and raised
her eyes to the blinding sunlight streaming down overhead.
What an annoying sun!
Why do people who once gave warmth end up looking like
nothing at all?
It was the same with her mother, and the same with
Aunt Liu.
"I was a wild child without a father, my father
was a scumbag, my mother was mad, and I started doing everything I could as a
child to stay alive, selfish and without a bottom line..."
"I was cruel in my methods, and when I grew up I
was so intent on revenge that even now I resent the death of the old man from
the Song family..."
"I was despicable and underhanded, using every
trick in the book, full of ideas to frame Song Jun's company and take revenge
on Song Jun..."
Song Xu Yi is the last light in Zhao Qingyu's life.
But if the warmth that the sun brings is followed by
an endless winter, then...
Zhao Qingyu chose to extinguish this light with her
own hands.
Her heart tingled, but Zhao Qingyu still spoke all those
words.
"It's time for you to go," Zhao Qingyu heard
herself speak softly, "From now on, you will treat me as a
stranger..."
The most unpleasant and undesirable version of herself
had been exposed to Song Xu Yi, and she would surely leave, right?
Zhao Qingyu had not thought that Song Xu Yi would come
over to stay with her these days, she was so lost in her own thoughts that she
was aware of Song Xu Yi's presence all along: but she did not dare to think
about it——how would Song Xu Yi judge her when she saw all these things...
Song Xu Yi is so kind, seeing her in such an
embarrassed state will surely make it difficult for her to say goodbye, so she
will ask for it herself!
It was also a way to save each other's final face.
……
However, the expected footsteps of departure did not
ring out.
Zhao Qingyu fell into a warm embrace.
The girl she thought would be distant and stop paying
attention to her, sighed and embraced her.
"Qingyu, don't talk about yourself like
that..."
"What I said was true."
Zhao Qingyu closed her eyes and tried to make her
voice cold as she spoke, but she could not make up her mind to push Song Xu Yi
away.
"You eat something first."
But Song Xu Yi didn't seem to care about Zhao Qingyu's
evasion, pulling her up with force: "Your mother entrusted you to me, you
have to listen to me..."
The nanny van drove to the nearest restaurant.
Song Xu Yi took the porridge handed over by the
assistant at the side and stared at Zhao Qingyu with a gleaming gaze, as if she
would stare until the end of time if she didn't drink the porridge.
Zhao Qingyu didn't have any appetite, but she still couldn't
refuse Song Xu Yi's expectant eyes, so she ate a few bites in a dispensable
manner, and had just put down the spoon when Song Xu Yi picked up the spoon and
put a spoonful to Zhao Qingyu's lips, with a gentle but non-refusable smile:
"Keep eating!"
Zhao Qingyu did not expect the dough-like Song Xu Yi
to be so tough at times, so she raised her eyes and looked at Song Xu Yi for a
moment, but took the spoon from Song Xu Yi's hand and ate a few more bites.
She found that she still could not refuse any of Song
Xu Yi's requests.
But the more she spent time with Song Xu Yi, the
deeper she became addicted...
"You..."
Before she could finish the words "When are you
leaving?", Zhao Qingyu's words were interrupted by Song Xu Yi.
"Rest for a while, I'll take you somewhere!"
Song Xu Yi pushed Zhao Qingyu into the nanny van.
Zhao Qingyu lay on the car seat with her eyes open and
did not feel like sleeping. She had not been able to sleep for the past few
days, and when she closed her eyes, all she could see before her eyes were
those old upsetting events from before. She didn't understand Song Xu Yi's
sudden actions, but it couldn't have been any worse than it is now.
"Be a good girl and sleep, okay?" Song Xu
Yi, who was sitting at the side, suddenly leaned over and put her jacket over
her body, gazing earnestly into her eyes, "Once you wake up, everything
will be over."
Zhao Qingyu did not expect Song Xu Yi to speak to her
in a coaxing tone, but probably because Song Xu Yi's voice was too gentle, or perhaps
because she did not dare to face the concern in Song Xu Yi's eyes, Zhao Qingyu
still closed her eyes.
The jacket still had the familiar fragrance of Song Xu
Yi's body. Song Xu Yi never wore perfume, but her love of a peach-scented body
wash had never changed over the years.
Song Xu Yi did not know that in order to keep this
small brand of shower wash from going out of business, Zhao Qingyu deliberately
lowered the price and took the initiative to take over the endorsement of this
shower wash, which had long since been replaced with the same brand of fragrant
orange scented shower wash, and has remained unchanged since.
……
Zhao Qingyu didn't know when she fell asleep.
She had expected another series of nightmares, but
this time she slept surprisingly soundly.
In her dream, a hand seemed to appear, pulling her
firmly at the moment when she was about to fall into darkness, giving her a
thousand lights...
The car stopped and arrived at an orphanage.
Zhao Qingyu knew that this was an orphanage sponsored
by Song Xu Yi, and that most of Song Xu Yi's pocket money over the years had
been invested in this orphanage.
Song Xu Yi made a "shhh" gesture towards
Zhao Qingyu and led her to the door of a room on the sixth floor.
Through the slightly open doorway, Zhao Qingyu saw the
back of a girl sitting at her desk doing her homework, and what was pasted
above her desk was really a large poster of Zhao Qingyu.
This is a film completed by Zhao Qingyu at the end of
last year, about a girl who is bullied into running away from her foster
father. She overcomes social prejudice, struggles to survive and finally
becomes a lawyer and sends her foster father to prison.
Zhao Qingyu won three of the country's most
prestigious film awards for her unpromisingly small budget reality film.
Song Xu Yi pulled Zhao Qingyu aside and lowered her
voice.
"This girl is exactly like what happened to you
in the movie..."
Zhao Qingyu froze, and a crack appeared on her
expressionless face as she looked up at Song Xu Yi.
"When our volunteers met her at the police
station she was covered in bruises and cigarette burns, but she was smiling and
she said she could finally live clean..."
"She was smart enough to use her mobile phone to
record that bastard step father’s crimes and sent the beast to jail."
"She told us that it was that film of yours that
gave her the courage she needed in the past to overcome the beast. She was
bullied by her step father in the past years. But your film was like a light
that showed her..."
Mimicking Zhao Qingyu's lines from the movie, Song Xu
Yi spoke softly, "I can't be silent anymore! That beast... That animal...
told me I was dirty, but who is dirtier than him? Public opinion has oppressed
too many girls who have been harmed, nurturing too many shadowy animals who
tread on the flesh and blood of girls and grow unchecked..."
"I want to be a wall of steel! Even if rumours
are like swords and prejudices are like mountains, even if painful memories are
like flames baking my body, I want to block the mountains of swords and fire
from descending on other girls..."
"So she reported her step father," Song Xu
Yi led the silent Zhao Qingyu onwards, "We helped her start a new life in
a new city, she's caught up with her studies now and wants to become a lawyer,
and she wants to bring her notice to see you after the college entrance exams
next year..."
As she spoke Song Xu Yi arrived at the door of another
room, in the room sat an old grandmother who was wearing old-fashioned glasses
and knitting a jumper, on the table in the grandmother's room were many of Q
version doll handicrafts of Zhao Qingyu, however each doll was covered with
small handmade small garments: "Grandmother was a tailor before, some
years ago her only granddaughter died in a car accident, her granddaughter was
a fan of yours before she died, so grandmother loved you after her
granddaughter died, she worried every day whether you were cold and hungry, her
greatest wish was to let you wear the clothes she made with her own hands..."
"And this old grandfather. He used to be a
performer in a group, and recently had his legs amputated in a car accident a
year ago and can no longer act, but what he loves most in his life is acting,
and the star that the whole performing arts circle thinks most highly of is
you, waiting for you to take our country's films to the world..."
"Qingyu," Song Xu Yi sighed softly as she
turned back and hugged Zhao Qingyu, who had already burst into tears at some
point.
"In fact, you understand it all, don't you?
Everyone has a dark side, and I don't know how you want to go about your
revenge, let alone where your hatred will take you, but I want to tell you
this: so many people in this world genuinely like you regardless of the
reciprocation, and that's because you're really good, and you've actually
become a light in many people's lives for a long time."
"There are four films left from the eight you
promised me," Song Xu Yi held Zhao Qingyu's hand, "I promised Auntie
to take good care of you..."
"I'm not qualified to advise you to give up
revenge, but your life can't be trapped by hatred. Qingyu, change the focus of
your life and try to live well for yourself in future, okay..."
Song Xu Yi did not know whether Zhao Qingyu had taken
her words to heart or not. Even though she was worried, she returned to school
after spending a few days with Zhao Qingyu.
As she walked away, Song Xu Yi saw Zhao Qingyu
standing at the door, and until her own car drove far away, she still seemed to
be in front of the door...
Fearing that Zhao Qingyu might not be able to think
straight, Song Xu Yi began to consciously 'clock in' with Zhao Qingyu every
day, and Zhao Qingyu gradually replied more and more, from a few words at
first...
Everything seems to go back to the time when they once
first met.
But everything is different again.
Song Xu Yi heard from the orphanage that Zhao Qingyu's
assistant had gone to the orphanage to give the little girl a postcard saying
'cheering you up for the college entrance exams' and rented the clothes from
the grandmother to wear to the awards party...
Later, Zhao Qingyu came back as part of a group.
It was more than a year later when she saw Zhao Qingyu
in person again. The two have been in intermittent contact by WeChat and phone
for over a year, but both sides have been extremely busy.
Song Xu Yi is already in her fifth year of university,
and with her excellent grades, she directly enrolled in Huang Shuo's research
institute and started working overtime with him...
Zhao Qingyu's new film has gone out of the country and
has done extremely well abroad, picking up several awards, and fans are
beginning to expect Zhao Qingyu to collect all the film awards around the
world.
And less than a month after Zhao Qingyu's mother died,
Song Jun's grandmother left this earth one stormy night shouting 'karma'.
Song Jun married Sun Wan.
Perhaps having learned his lesson from the
entanglements of the previous generation, Song Jun shed his superiority in his
relationship with Sun Wan and the two became extremely secure in their
relationship.
Song Jun's company launches a robot for home services
that leads the way everywhere, and as they are trying to get the product into
the production line, an unknown company launches a new, smarter robot that
instantly attracts all the investments...
Technology is productivity, this small company leapt
to become the largest company in the industry to take away Song Jun's position
as the dominant company in the industry, several of Song Jun's R & D
backbone have jumped ship to the other company, Song Jun's company was
immediately reduced to a second-rate company.
It was not until Song Jun was at an industry gathering
where the owner of that company showed up and looked at that familiar yet
unfamiliar face that Song Jun fell into a trance and understood the reason why
the other party was trying to suppress him and finally left a line in the sand.
Song Jun lasted in a trance until the end of the
meeting, and finally received a note from Zhao Qingyu's assistant.
"I wanted to see you ruined, but your mother left
me a ray of hope back then, and I've returned it this time, and I'll have
nothing more to do with the Song family after this."
Song Jun was stunned and subconsciously looked up to
find Zhao Qingyu, who had already left the venue by car...
Not long after that, the system in Song Xu Yi's mind
broadcasted in surprise, "Xu Yi! We have completed our mission!"
Song Xu Yi looked up in shock: just in time to see a
slender figure appear outside the Institute's clear glass window.
That person smiled at her from the window with an
unmistakable brightness, her eyebrows spreading, the red mole at the end of her
eyes enchanting, looking at Song Xu Yi as bright as a star, as if all the
suffering and shadows had never existed in her.
"Can I continue to stay in this world?"
"Yes, until this body of yours dies..."
After a momentary daze and an affirmative reply from
the system, Song Xu Yi also smiled.
How wonderful!
Song Xu Yi met Zhao Qingyu's gaze and curled her eyes
in the same way: Zhao Qingyu deserved everything that was good about her, she
was supposed to be this beautiful and bright!
Song Xu Yi and Zhao Qingyu had a meal.
Zhao Qingyu didn't say much the whole time, just kept
looking at Song Xu Yi and laughing, Song Xu Yi blushed at her laugh and glared
at her with annoyance, but Zhao Qingyu laughed even harder!
"We've known each other for so long in the blink
of an eye! Xu Yi, will you always be my friend?"
Zhao Qingyu came over to taste Song Xu Yi's juice,
seemingly asking without thinking, but probably because the sunlight was too
bright, Song Xu Yi always felt that there were some emotions hidden in her eyes
that she could not read.
Song Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat, and only after a
long time did she reply softly, "I will, and I will consider you a good
friend for as long as I live."
"Good friends?" Zhao Qingyu repeated these
words and suddenly curled her lips once again, "Then what do you want as a
gift when you turn twenty seven?"
Twenty seven?
Song Xu Yi froze and hung her head for a long time
before pulling the corners of her lips and speaking softly, "I've always
quite enjoyed watching your movies. You making more good movies is the best
gift for me..."
Zhao Qingyu curled her eyes and smiled, "Then
I'll collect all the Movie Queen trophies for you as a gift..."
……
Song Xu Yi thought this was a momentary joke by Zhao
Qingyu and did not take it to heart.
When she returned, Song Xu Yi began to double her
research in the field of sleeping sickness, and she was so frantic to catch up
that even Huang Shuo began to look at her madness and began to advise her to
rest more...
Unlike others, Song Xu Yi will publish any research she
has done for the world to see.
Soon, everyone knew about a young researcher called
Song Xu Yi who was studying sleeping sickness.
After reading Song Xu Yi's research, the female lead,
Sun Wan, became interested in this piece and likewise plunged into the field.
While Song Xu Yi was wasting her time researching sleeping
sickness, Zhao Qingyu completed the eight films Song Xu Yi asked her to
accomplish, but she didn't stop there. Her films made a name for themselves all
over the world, especially after it became known that she was also the chairman
of a company with a market value of ten billion dollars, and people began to
speculate what kind of man would be worthy of Zhao Qingyu, but in a twist of
events, until Zhao Qingyu turned thirty, there were no rumours about her.
No one knew that Zhao Qingyu had been waiting for a
day to come.
In the days following her mother's death, Song Xu Yi
persuaded Zhao Qingyu to find a new purpose. Song Xu Yi thought that afterwards
Zhao Qingyu began to reconcile with the world, but did not know that the new
support Zhao Qingyu had found was her.
Zhao Qingyu becomes everything Song Xu Yi wants her to
be, wanting to bring herself closer to the 'Zhao Qingyu' in Song Xu Yi's heart,
and if she doesn't live to be thirty, then…
Every day that I live this short life is a silent
confession to Song Xu Yi.
And once she lives past thirty, she will definitely do
everything she can to woo Song Xu Yi.
On her 30th birthday, with a feeling of desperation
and anticipation, Zhao Qingyu put on her best makeup and lay on her bed,
sending a message to Song Xu Yi: "Hey! Tomorrow is my birthday, is Dr.
Song free to come to my house tomorrow night and have dinner with me? The key
to my house is in the third shoe cabinet in the entrance..."
She had set up an extremely beautiful scene in her
room, and if she survived the day, she would confess her love to Song Xu Yi at
home tomorrow night.
Song Xu Yi did not reply.
Zhao Qingyu didn't take it to heart, Song Xu Yi had
become increasingly busy in recent years, sometimes not even having time to
eat, and perhaps because winter had arrived during this recent period, Song Xu
Yi had become increasingly sleepy and probably didn't see her messages.
Zhao Qingyu switched off her phone and quietly waited
for the zero hour to arrive.
When the clock had passed zero hour, Zhao Qingyu
laughed out loud in the darkness with delight!
She's alive!
She doesn't have sleeping sickness!
Later, she will have enough time to express her
affection to Song Xu Yi...
Zhao Qingyu cannot describe the excitement inside her heart
at this moment.
She excitedly opened her mobile phone and
subconsciously wanted to tell Song Xu Yi the news immediately, but then thought
that Song Xu Yi was probably sleeping and could not disturb her sleep...
Yet as soon as she switched on her phone, numerous
missed calls flooded in and she saw a text message from her assistant.
"Sister Qingyu, Miss Song she... passed
away."
……
On this night, two pieces of news almost set Weibo
alight:
For one thing, a researcher called Song Xu Yi has
worked out the causes of sleeping sickness, which is expected to be completely
solved within a few years.
Secondly, Zhao Qingyu, who had never been rumoured to
be a scandalous person, went public on Weibo about someone she liked, yet that
person... was dead.
"Even if you go to your grave, I will love you
for the rest of my life."
As Song Xu Yi left the world, her mind once again
recalled the most painful memory of her original body——her mother leaning into
her father's arms and whimpering: "What should we do? Why did Xu Yi have
this birthmark on her wrist? Why did sleeping sickness fall on her
body..."
The original body finally learned later that the Song
family also had a genetic history of sleeping sickness and that the birthmark
was a sign that the Song family had suffered from sleeping sickness.
So the original, who wanted to be a doctor, gave up
her dream and started to become willful and mean, thinking that if she became
annoying, her parents would not be so upset when she died...
"Don't worry, from now on Song Xu Yi will always
be by her family's side, those who are later cured of sleeping sickness are the
continuation of her life, her family will feel proud and comforted once they
think of her..." Song Xu Yi spoke softly as she looked at the fading world.
As soon as Song Xu Yi arrived in this world, she made
plans to conquer sleeping sickness.
Fortunately, in the last moments of her life, she
finally discovered the cause of sleeping sickness.
She's just a little disappointed that she didn't make
it to Zhao Qingyu's 30th birthday, but she thinks: discovering the cause of
sleeping sickness was the best gift for Zhao Qingyu...
"Xu Yi, are you ready to go to the next
world?"
Song Xu Yi came to a pure white space, the system's
body was actually a black kitten, at this time the kitten used its front paws
to pick up and clean its tears and spoke in a mute whisper.
The system never thought that Song Xu Yi would hide
the fact that this body of hers had sleeping sickness so well that it actually
hid it from it.
Song Xu Yi nodded.
"In order to prevent memory interference, we will
pull out and store the memories of the people you remember the most in this
world." The system took out a small headgear and placed it on Song Xu Yi's
head. As Song Xu Yi's body gradually dimmed, the system finally couldn't resist
exploring the situation of this world after Song Xu Yi left before following
her to the next world:.
The system probe has pulled forward to five years
later:
Huang Shuo Institute framed a paper with 0 marks on
the last question at the entrance, with a large '100' engraved out of a
sculpture on the side.
Song's parents invested in the launch of the sleeping
sickness treatment, and whenever they think of their daughter, even though they
are sad, they are more proud.
People have not forgotten Song Xu Yi and there are
sculptures named after her in many places.
The female lead, Sun Wan, has researched the exact
solution to sleeping sickness...
And that person...
The system explored all the places and failed to find
the woman who only dared to confess in the dark, but finally found that woman's
tombstone next to Song Xu Yi's.
Three years after Song Xu Yi's death, Zhao Qingyu, who
had collected all the Movie Queen trophies in the world, fell off a cliff to
her death on her way to teach in the mountains, and strangely enough, when
everyone found her body...
——Her beautiful face, however, was smiling.
