Ling Xiao has been silent since getting into the nanny car.
Zhao Hongxiu always gave him enough time to think and digest his emotions, so she didn't ask, but just told the assistant beside him not to disturb him.
This is their way of getting along with each other. If he has something to say, he will take the initiative to speak up. Zhao Hongxiu knows that this does not require any guidance.
I don't know how long it was before I heard Ling Xiao laugh, with a hint of mockery in his voice.
"My life is a complete failure, like a defective product that dies without any progress. Perhaps the ending is also destined to be a failure..."
Zhao Hongxiu always felt that Ling Xiao was hinting at something, so she just advised him in the usual way: "I don't know why you think this way, but your idea is wrong. You have won so many awards and become a household name. If this is considered a failure, then I don't know how to define success."
"Your thoughts always stop at the level of performing arts, but life is much more complicated than that."
Ling Xiao looked at her steadily, and his amber-like eyes seemed to fall into silence for a very short time.
"Have you encountered something unpleasant...? I mean in life. We are friends, I will help you."
Zhao Hongxiu said slowly: "You are in a bad mood right now, I don't want you to be depressed like this forever."
Ling Xiao curled his lips and said inexplicably: "Sister Hongxiu, in your opinion, am I inferior to Rong Yin in every way?"
"Rong Yan...?"
"The president of Huanzhen and the person in charge of the Rong family." His voice was soft and there was no emotion at all.
Zhao Hongxiu frowned and then relaxed: "In my heart, you are the one and only Ling Xiao. There is no need to compare you with others."
"That's what you mean by not as good as?"
Zhao Hongxiu was a strict and cold person who could not speak softly. For the first time, she felt that Ling Xiao was actually a bit unreasonable.
"You know that's not what I meant."
Ling Xiao laughed very briefly, but nothing else happened.
"Ling Xiao, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Since you chose to give up your family business and enter the entertainment industry, then from a career perspective, you are already successful."
Ling Xiao didn't say anything else. He seemed to be dozing off with his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking.

Meng Yao received a message from Rong Yiqing in the morning, in which he said that he would be joining the crew today to play a role in a movie.
Xu Youlan once talked to her about this, saying that Rong Yiqing had an impulsive and straightforward personality that made people worry, implying that Meng Yao should take better care of him.
Meng Yao felt that Xu Youlan had a very poor vision. After all, those who knew her knew that she was a reckless person and could not do such delicate work at all.
It was difficult to refuse, so Meng Yao had no choice but to agree.
On the first day, Meng Yao took Rong Yiqing to try all the delicious food around the venue.
"Sister-in-law, I think the food at the old house is better. The food outside doesn't taste like home..."
"Are you homesick? Go back and visit grandma more often when you have free time."
"If I keep going there... will grandma be annoyed with me?"
"You lived with grandma for more than ten years, and she never said anything to you. Old people always have sharp tongues but soft hearts..."
Rong Yiqing was attracted by this: "Which big star is here? How popular must he be? But aren't you afraid of being criticized for being a big shot if you put on such a big show?"
“It may not be welcome.”
Meng Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
The crowd suddenly dispersed, and the person leading the group, chatting and laughing with the director, was a very familiar person - Meng Qingqing.
In just a few short months, her temperament seemed to have changed drastically. She was no longer as cautious and timid as before, and her slender neck was held high.
The aesthetics have also changed a lot. The lovely pure white dress has been replaced by a romantic yellow one, which adds a bit of girlish cuteness and innocence. The dress was probably custom-made, very much like the style of a master.
Rong Yiqing cried out in surprise, but his voice was filled with disgust that could not be ignored: "Why is it her? Wasn't it said that she had been hidden away? Why did she suddenly make a comeback? She is really an indestructible cockroach..." He sneered.
Meng Yao also had the same doubts in her mind. How did Meng Qingqing make a comeback? Who helped her
Although I was confused, I didn't want to waste my time watching Meng Qingqing pretending to be something.
"Yiqing, we've finished our tour here, let's go back."
The moment Rong Yiqing saw Meng Qingqing, he didn't want to stay here anymore, and he turned around with Meng Yao.
Meng Qingqing quickly noticed Meng Yao and Rong Yiqing in front of her, and she walked quickly towards them, followed by a large group of people. There were more than a dozen bodyguards alone, and she looked very impressive.
"Stop, Meng Yao!" It was Meng Qingqing's voice.
Of course Meng Yao wouldn't listen to her. She just walked back with the people around her without stopping.
"Can't you hear me when I tell you to stop?!"
Until two bodyguards appeared in front and blocked the way.
Meng Yao turned around, looking extremely impatient, with her eyes showing her hostility. "What do you mean? Are you bullying me because I didn't bring a bodyguard?"
Meng Qingqing walked over slowly and stood in front of Meng Yao: "So what? Why didn't you stop when I asked you to?"
Meng Yao just chuckled at this. She narrowed her eyes slightly and didn't look at Meng Qingqing directly: "So what? Who do you think you are?"
"You..." Meng Qingqing was definitely not happy when her words were retorted back: "You are really sharp-tongued."
"I don't care what you do, just get these two flies out of here, or else..."
Meng Qingqing's expression no longer had the weakness it once had. She seemed to have found someone to rely on, and was no longer as cautious as before:
"What else can you do?"
Meng Yao slowly took out her cell phone and raised it up, with the camera facing Meng Qingqing. She smiled and said, "Want to be in the limelight again?"
Meng Qingqing looked unprepared. Two bodyguards rushed over, but were kicked to the ground by Meng Yao, and one of them fell directly on top of the other.
The bodyguard, who originally had strong fighting skills, was like a chicken unable to resist in front of Meng Yao.
Meng Yao twisted her wrist when she pulled her foot back. She had to thank Rong Wei for her supervision. After strengthening her training, Meng Yao could feel that her physical fitness had improved a lot, and she was getting stronger when hitting people.
Rong Yiqing seemed to be angered by this incident. He stood in front of Meng Yao:
"What do you mean by this?! Why are you bullying my sister-in-law?! If you have anything to say, come to me!!"
