Who knows? The anchor I like has become a movie queen!

Chapter 229 Jiang Yutao's Regret

Ji Xia had a video call with Jiang Qingyan that night. She said coquettishly, "I think I should find something for my parents to do. They tend to have overthinking when they stay at home all the time. Should I open a store? I feel like it's unrealistic for me to stay with them for a long time. Or maybe I should let them go traveling and sign up for a tour group. Yanyan, do you have any suggestions?"

Jiang Qingyan pondered for a moment and offered a suggestion, "Your parents' biggest problem is that they don't have their own jobs. Aren't they good at knitting? You could open a shop and renovate the back to live in. That would be more convenient. If you have a career, you'll have friends."

Ji Xia thought it made sense. "My parents felt comfortable living in their hometown before, and now they have to come to Kyoto probably because they want to see me. I hope this shop can help them adapt to life in Kyoto and have more things they like to do."

Ji Xia is a person of action. She planned to give her parents a surprise, so she asked her staff to find a suitable shop the next day.

She was not idle during the two days she spent at home with her parents. She had previously hired a private detective to investigate Liu Chen and discovered that he was indeed flawless in his work at school. However, once a person did something sinister, it would leave traces.

This guy has several properties in Kyoto and secretly keeps a mistress. He lives a luxurious life and is completely two different people on and off campus. He also cooperates with some film crews and recommends students to them, and he takes kickbacks from them.

Ji Xia also has offline business to do in the wilderness battlefield, as well as material promotion for next year. She plans to wait until the film academy is on vacation before dealing with this matter.

The agent Guoguo found was very reliable. Facts have proved that as long as you spend enough money, you can get good things.

The shop they recommended was located in the sub-center of Kyoto, not far from the filming base. It had good transportation links and complete infrastructure. Apart from the high price, everything was fine.

Ji Xia also took the time to visit the site and found that it met his requirements very well. The decoration inside was complete. When he pushed open the back door, there was a yard, which just led to the garden on the first floor of the community, which was very convenient.

"Miss, this house is decorated with the best materials and has been there for half a year. It will definitely not harm the health of the elderly. If you buy it now, we will give you a parking space. If the elderly live here, the property management will come to greet you every day and communicate with you in time if there are any problems." The agent introduced diligently.

What Ji Xia cared about were safety, entertainment, the surrounding environment, and the flow of people. She felt relieved only after her doubts were answered one by one.

"How much is the full payment?" Ji Xia turned his head and asked.

"2300w"

Ji Xia calculated the money she had on hand and realized that she didn't have much. She donated most of her film remuneration each time, and the rest was used for studio operations. She only had a small portion on hand. With the remuneration from this movie, she estimated that this amount would be just enough to cover this amount.

She still had more than 45 yuan left in her hands, and she would use Gat to exchange for the expenses of taking her employees out at the end of the year. After the broadcast of Liuli Yan, she brought her Gat.

She turned around and asked Guo Guo who was standing next to her, "What do you think of this house?"

If it was a house in the center of Kyoto, it would definitely not be priced this way, but this house is 145 square meters, not too big, so the price is reasonable.

"I think it's great. My uncles and aunts have something to do and won't feel bored." Zhang Guoguo said from the bottom of her heart.

She really felt that Xia Xia's parents were a little weird, probably because the family had always been poor. If she gave them money to go out and travel, they wouldn't go. The nature of Xia Xia's work made it unrealistic for her to be with them.

Before in Hong Kong, Xia Xia called and wanted to buy plane tickets for her family to come over, but they refused to come, saying they couldn’t. Xia Xia suggested asking her studio colleagues to send them over, but they were unwilling to do so.

Zhang Guoguo felt very distressed when she saw Xia Xia worrying about her parents every day.

She really hopes that by opening the store this time, Xia Xia's parents can find something they like to do, so that both parties can feel more comfortable.

Zhang Guoguo is also an only child. Her parents are not young anymore, but they get along very harmoniously. She is responsible for providing money, and her parents do what they like every day, so she doesn't feel lonely.

"That's settled then. Guoguo, help me make a doorhead and install it directly. I'll give it to my parents in a few days, and then we'll go out and play!" Ji Xia is not a hesitant person. She originally wanted to write her parents' names directly, but considering that this was a gift, she decided to change the name on the house deed later.

Zhang Guoguo knew how much Ji Xia cared about his parents. Every few days, she would ask someone to deliver fresh fruits, meat, eggs, milk, and supplements. She was worried that Xia Xia would be exhausted. She was busy with acting and memorizing lines every day on the crew. No matter how busy she was at night, she would always make a few minutes of video call to her family.

Jiang Qingyan was also helpless. He originally wanted to take Xia Xia to live in the new home for a few days, but his time was limited. He had to leave for the United States again these days. His career in the United States is currently in full swing, and he always tries his best to squeeze out time to come back and accompany Xia Xia.

The business of Wilderness Battlefield is handled by the Publicity Department. Ji Xia Studio has already made arrangements and will take promotional photos in two days.

[Wilderness Battlefield: Dear Special Forces, the new year is approaching, and the game is also about to usher in a new season. We have teamed up with spokesperson @Jixia to launch a special event in Kyoto, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Zhengzhou... (other locations to be determined). Our new image will be airborne, so let's look forward to it together!]

What does that mean? What does that mean? Is that what I understand?

Xia Xia is finally going to do an offline event? Why didn’t I see Chongqing?

[I am in Zhengzhou, I am in Zhengzhou, I am ready]

[Hurry up and bring up your itinerary. I'm ready to buy my plane tickets.]

[Everyone, gather up! This is Xia Xia's first offline event, so we must give her enough face.]

[Hey, isn't it Qinggao who doesn't want to take on business? ]

[Well, although Xia Xia currently only has this official endorsement, it's quite significant. Do you dare to say that your city doesn't have a Wilderness Battlefield billboard?]

[I really can't say this. My hometown is so remote that the bus stop signs are all Xia Xia's advertising photos.]

【Can you consider Suzhou?】

[I'm rooting for Taiyuan. Can any city that hasn't officially announced consider us?]

……

Ji Xia worked non-stop to shoot new promotional videos and makeup photos. Considering that once Ji Xia joined the crew, she would not come out to handle business anymore, so this time she prepared the styling for the next six months, including cosplay costumes and in-game styling.

So it took nearly a week just to make the commercials and videos, and then we had to travel to one city a day to do offline activities.

Jiang Qingyan didn't want Xia Xia to do these things, he felt it was unnecessary, but Ji Xia took the initiative to ask to do these promotions. In her opinion, if she accepted this business endorsement, she had to do what she should do.

A week later, Wilderness Battlefield released the prepared pictures: [Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The first offline meeting of our Wilderness Battlefield spokesperson is coming. In addition to the five cities that have been officially announced, there are still three cities with spots available for everyone to choose. Xia Xia will go to the three cities with the most votes to meet everyone, and there will be exhibition matches later. Let's look forward to it together.

See you tomorrow at the Kyoto Century Esports Center!]

Oh my god, we still have hope. I'm going to vote in Harbin.

Are you ready, my Kyoto family? I'm already heading to the night rehearsal. It's rare for Xia Xia to come out. I haven't seen her on variety shows in a year, so I have to see her in person this time.

Take me one, I have a tent.

[You guys are crazy! It's just to meet a celebrity! I'm already in the taxi, don't fight with me.]

[Ahhh, this design is so beautiful, I can’t even use it all on my wallpaper]

[Hahaha, I won’t tell you who drooled with jealousy]

[Already unconscious]

[Tsk, be careful if no one goes then, it will be embarrassing]

Then you wait and see.

……

Ji Xia has been working non-stop these past few days. She is preparing at the hotel she booked tonight. She will meet her fans offline for the first time tomorrow. She wants to prepare some gifts for everyone, so she is signing autographs frantically.

Guoguo was reporting the itinerary, "Next, we'll travel to one city a day. After eight days, we'll have another day of exhibition matches, and that'll wrap up our work for this year."

Ji Xia nodded, his hands moving non-stop, "Have you booked the hotel and air tickets?"

"Yeah, but you have to replicate a look for every show, so we have to get there early."

"That's no problem. I'll sing the song I practiced for you later. Why does it sound a little off-tune?" Ji Xia will sing a few sweet songs at tomorrow's event. She doesn't reject this kind of performance. She sings for her fans, not for anyone else.

"Okay," Guoguo stood aside and skillfully put away the photos that Xia Xia had already signed.

The regular knocking sound of "dong dong" caught the attention of the two people. Sister Yan came in directly without knocking. Could it be that Brother Qiang had something wrong?

"I'll go check it out." Guoguo didn't think much of it. She saw through the video doorbell that it was a graceful and elegant woman. She was a little confused. She felt that this face was very familiar. She shouted, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Ji Xia, she knows who I am." The woman's expression was very solemn, but upon closer inspection, there was a hint of anticipation.

"Xia Xia, I don't know the person looking for you." Zhang Guoguo turned around and said.

Ji Xia heard the voice over there, it sounded very familiar, she knew who it was, "Guoguo, go back to your room and let her in."

"Okay, I'm next door. If you have any questions, just give me a call and I'll come right over." She opened the door, and the woman's face appeared in Zhang Guoguo's eyes. Suddenly, she had an idea.

This woman should be Song Yurou's mother. Song Yurou's fans always fought with them before, so she specially collected Song Yurou's family information.

What did Song Yurou's mother come to see Xia Xia for?

But the door was closed, so she had no idea what was said inside.

Ji Xia didn't know why Jiang Yutao came to see her, but she was too lazy to guess and just concentrated on signing.

Jiang Yutao has been thinking about what she should do these days. The more Ji Xia resists, the more she wants to make amends.

When she came in and saw the frighteningly thin girl sitting there in a heap, she felt distressed unconsciously. She threw the Hermes in her hand aside and sat opposite Ji Xia.

She spoke cautiously, "Xia Xia, don't you look up at your mother?"

"You are not my mother. I only have one mother." Ji Xia's voice was still cold. "Do you have anything else to do? If not, just go out by yourself. I still have work to do."

Jiang Yutao felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and she didn't know what to do. "Xia Xia, don't be like this. I really love you. What do you want your mother to do? What do you want your mother to do to forgive me? It wasn't my fault that I took the wrong child. Ever since I found out, I've been thinking of ways to make up for it," she said with tears in her voice, babbling on and on about how difficult it was for her.

"What method? What did you do?" Ji Xia asked doubtfully, "It wasn't like this the first time you came."

"I..." Jiang Yutao was speechless. She did have a bad attitude at that time, and she herself couldn't understand it.

"But I'm not the one who calls the shots at home. I just want you to call me mom. It doesn't matter if you don't come home." She said pleadingly.

Today she came here completely to avoid Song Hai. She could no longer understand her husband's behavior and didn't want to care about it anymore. She just wanted her two children to stay by her side.

"What about Song Yurou?" Ji Xia still didn't raise his head.

"Yu Rou, Yu Rou cares about you too. She said she will respect you, and whatever you lack over the years, your mother will definitely make it up to you." Jiang Yutao quickly spoke up for Yu Rou. Although the fans of the two were fighting fiercely, Jiang Yutao felt that Yu Rou was kind and should be more tolerant of Ji Xia.

"Throw her out, and I'll consider it." Ji Xia was just joking. She was too lazy to go back. The Song family was not a good place.

Jiang Yutao was choked and speechless. "Yu Rou won't take your things. She has a good personality. She just wants to stay with me. As long as you give her some space, it will be fine."

"Then I just want to stay with my parents. You can go out. You don't have to come to me again. Just take good care of Song Yurou, okay?" Ji Xia finally put down the pen in his hand, looked up and said sharply.

"Xia Xia, don't be angry. If your adoptive parents knew their child was still alive, they would be in the same situation. They also want to find their biological child. Will they be willing to give you up? It's not that Mom is greedy, but any parent facing this situation would react the same way.

How can I bear to let go of a child I have raised for more than 20 years? Your adoptive parents are reluctant to let go either.

Xia Xia, you don't have any children yet. In this situation, no one can have the best of both worlds. " Jiang Yutao was very smart. She also pulled Ji Xia's adoptive parents out to take the blame.

It must be said that Jiang Yutao pulled out the greatest fear in Ji Xia's heart. She paused for a few seconds before saying, "You don't love me, it's maternal instinct that's pulling you back. If Song Yurou and I were in danger, you would definitely give up on me. Go away. I still stick to my opinion."

Ji Xia remained calm. She remembered clearly that the original text was full of words about how Jiang Yutao was glad that it was not Song Yurou who went to marry into the Gong family, and fortunately she still had a daughter. That daughter was very rude and did not look like her own child at all.

She also remembered Jiang Yutao's disdainful attitude when she first arrived.
