Her Majesty the Queen Has Become a God In the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 29 A call from home

Lu Zhengzheng was pushing the suitcase forward. As he was walking, he heard a hesitant "Mom" from behind him.

Her steps suddenly stopped, and she looked back nervously.

Jiang Lingxi lowered her eyes to answer the phone and did not see Lu Zhengzheng's emotional change at this moment.

After she hesitantly called out "Mom", the person on the other side of the phone said cautiously, "Xixi, have you been busy lately?"

“It’s okay.” Jiang Lingxi paused after replying, “How are you doing there?”

“It’s all good here and here, everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, just work hard.”

"Um."

 A few seconds of silence followed.

A more cautious voice came from the other side again, "Xixi, tomorrow is the monthly visitation day of the juvenile detention center. Do you want to come with us to see your brother?"

Jiang Lingxi could even tell that the woman over there held her breath after asking this question, as if she was afraid of missing her next reply.

"good."

The voice coming from the phone suddenly became excited, "Well, then come over here early tomorrow morning, and let's set off together!"

"good."

 The voice returned to being cautious again, "Then you have a good rest, don't always think about losing weight and skipping dinner, it is not good for your stomach..."

Before she finished her words of instruction, Jiang Lingxi heard another hoarse man's voice coming from the phone: "Are you talking to Xixi on the phone?"

Jiang Wenhui nodded towards her husband, unable to restrain her joy and said: "Just now Xixi said that she would go with us to see Xiaoxu tomorrow."

　　"I won't go see that brat. He keeps a straight face with me every time. You two can go tomorrow, but I won't go."

Seeing that her husband was about to walk towards the door, Jiang Wenhui quickly stopped him, "It's almost time for dinner, why are you going?"

 “Go out and talk to Lao Liu about the recent market conditions.”

“Jiang Runcheng, don’t you try to be careless with me and go drinking again, right?”

"You should stop worrying about what happens at the men's dinner table. Go away. Go to bed early at night and don't wait for me to come back."

Accompanied by an angry slamming of the door, Jiang Wenhui's muttering to himself sounded on the phone, "I said that business is unreliable, why don't you believe it? Drink, drink, why don't you drink..." The following words stopped abruptly, Then there was a sound of moving back and forth.

Jiang Lingxi guessed that she might have forgotten that the call with her daughter was still on, so she hung up the phone silently.

 Looking up, he met Lu Zhengzheng's nervous and worried eyes.

 “Why do you look at me like that?”

Lu Zhengzheng let go of the suitcase in his hand and trotted up to Jiang Lingxi, "Sister Xixi, you...do you still have dinner?"

  To be precise, are you still in the mood for dinner?

Jiang Lingxi was confused by the question and nodded, "Of course I want to eat."

Lu Zhengzheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." She didn't need to order takeout or go out to eat alone.

 The two of them entered the elevator together.

 “Why did you suddenly ask me if I wanted to have dinner?”

Lu Zhengzheng lowered her head and whispered back: "Sister Xixi, every time you received a call from home, your mood would become very bad, and sometimes it would last for several days. I just heard you shouting when you answered the phone "Hey mom, I'm just a little worried."

Jiang Lingxi raised her hand and patted her shoulder lightly, "It won't happen again in the future, don't worry."

"Uh-huh."

After arriving home, Lu Zhengzheng put down her luggage and went into the kitchen to work in the kitchen. After Jiang Lingxi asked her if she wanted to help, she poured herself a glass of water and went to sit on the lounge chair on the balcony. After drinking the water, she frowned and thought deeply.

The original person didn't leave her with many memories about her family, just a little more than that of Shen Yunqing. She could feel that the original person was deliberately avoiding and neglecting her family. There is naturally a reason for this.

Three years ago, my father, Jiang Runcheng, went bankrupt in business and still owed a lot of debt. The family also moved from a spacious villa to an old and small residential area.

This is not over yet. Because the debts cannot be repaid, debt collectors come to the house. Some of them go too far and cannot get money, and even smash them wantonly in order to vent their anger.

The original brother was only a fifteen-year-old boy at that time. He was young and energetic, and he couldn't get angry at the arrogance and domineering of the leader, so he impulsively stabbed the leader.

The person who was stabbed immediately called the police. Although Jiang Lingxu did not have to go to jail because he was under age, he was sent to a juvenile detention center for education. It has been almost three years now.

After that, the original father still wanted to make a comeback, but there were too few examples of people who could withstand the earth-shaking life gap and successfully make a comeback, and he was not one of them.

Over time, because I was depressed all the time, I became addicted to alcoholism. I would get drunk all day long before going home.

The original mother, Jiang Wenhui, used to be a full -time wife who had a respectful beauty. Now that her husband is drinking, her son is closed, and she has to go out to find a job and maintain the livelihood of the family.

Talking about the original body, the original body just entered college three years ago. Due to the drastic changes in her family, she had no choice but to give up her studies. By chance, she joined the entertainment industry. After earning money with her good looks and easing the burden on her family, she stayed. Come down.

  But in his heart, he still had some resentment towards his family members.

 It can only be said that changes never give people a chance to prepare.

The originally happy family of four has fallen into pieces and is no longer as warm as before.

Looking back quietly at the original person's short life of more than twenty years, Jiang Lingxi felt that she somewhat understood why the original person developed such a dog-like temper that everyone disliked.

The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and it is a place without much privacy. I have such a terrible family, and I feel a little inferior to myself.

 But the entertainment industry is a place where people are not allowed to feel inferior, and it is even harder to hide their inferiority.

 Coupled with the forced interruption of studies three years ago.

These hurdles are really not easy to overcome for a little girl who grew up carefree in this era.

 Only she herself can know how many setbacks and difficulties she has experienced.

“Sister Xixi, the food is ready, come and eat.”

Lu Zhengzheng's cheerful shout came from behind. Jiang Lingxi came back from her thoughts and raised her eyes to look at the flashing neon outside the glass window.

 Think of something someone often said: Everything will be fine.

   *

Jiang Lingxi stood outside the old residential area.

Today is a working day, and it is the peak time for work and school. The surging flow of people in the residential area almost knocked off her sunglasses.

 When there were fewer people coming out, she crossed the small pool of water left on the potholes due to the rain last night and walked into the residential area.

 “Three zero three, that’s it.”

Looking at the anti-theft door with its mottled paint in front of her and the traces of red paint that had been splashed on it in the past, Jiang Lingxi took out the keys she had found out in her pocket before going out in the morning and opened the door with some unfamiliarity.

Before I entered, an indescribable smell rushed towards me, and even wearing a mask could not block it out.

This caused her to pause as she originally planned to step in.

Jiang Wenhui was busy mopping the floor in the small living room. When she heard the door open, she quickly raised her head and looked towards the door. When she saw that it was her daughter, a smile appeared on her face, but it soon turned into embarrassment and pettiness. "Xixi came here so early. Please stand at the door first. The smell in the room is a bit bad. Wait for me to spray some air freshener before you come in."

Jiang Lingxi took off her sunglasses and mask and entered the house. After entering the living room, she turned to look at the crack of the bedroom door that was ajar. She heard snoring coming from inside, "Dad is still asleep?"

Jiang Wenhui didn't see the disgust on her daughter's face, and she just felt warm. When she heard these words, she couldn't help but darken her face, and complained in a low voice: "I came back at midnight last night, and I was so drunk that I vomited all over the floor. . I closed the bedroom door before going to bed. He was so drunk that he didn't even know how to open the door. I happened to pack your brother's things last night and forgot to close the door, so he went to your brother's room to sleep. He couldn't do it in the morning. Wake up. Forget it, we don’t need to worry about him, just the two of us will go there today. Anyway, they get very nervous every time they meet, so it’s better not to go.”

Jiang Lingxi was silent for a moment, "Have you eaten yet?"
