Chapter 64: Song Jiaru Meets Lin Ruoxuan for the First Time

Backstage at the Spring Festival Gala.

As soon as Song Jiaru stepped off the stage, Song Jinxuan and Chang Yuan flew over like two whirlwinds, hugging her tightly with excitement:

"Jiaru! Too perfect! Tonight's performance was absolutely epic!"

"Did you hear? The audience outside is shouting your name! You conquered the whole world!"

Before Song Jiaru had time to respond, Xu Yunzhou's final words sounded in her mind—that promise about "meeting a day early."

Tears instantly burst from her eyes uncontrollably again.

"Big Brother... thank you..."

She screamed wordlessly in her heart,

"Thank you for giving me all the courage and hope to live on... If it weren't for this promise supporting me, I really don't know how I would survive those days and nights without you..."

Song Jinxuan didn't notice the massive emotional turbulence of extreme sorrow and joy in her at this moment, still immersed in huge excitement, mysteriously pulling her over:

"Right, Jiaru! A heavyweight special guest arrived tonight!"

"My cousin, the true helmsman behind the scenes of our Qingsheng Media, the founder of New Generation Technology back then. She specially adjusted her transnational itinerary and flew back from Europe just to see you!"

Only then did Song Jiaru raise her tear-blurred eyes and look in the direction Song Jinxuan indicated—

She saw a woman wearing a high-end custom white suit skirt, slowly walking toward her through the bustling crowd.

Her posture was tall and straight, her footsteps unhurried. Wherever she passed, the people around actually quieted down unconsciously and made way one after another.

At twenty-five years old, her appearance was extremely resplendent, her beauty breathtaking.

Between her brows settled the detachment of occupying a high position for a long time and the composure of controlling everything. Her aura was so powerful that people didn't dare to look directly at her.

Song Jiaru's pupils abruptly contracted.

This was exactly the legendary Queen that Big Brother had searched for multiple times, causing countless curiosities and "jealousies" to arise in her heart—Lin Ruoxuan.

Lin Ruoxuan stopped in front of Song Jiaru and elegantly extended her right hand:

"Congratulations, Teacher Song. After tonight, the peak throne of the Chinese music scene will permanently engrave your name. Your voice possesses the power to define the aesthetics of this era."

Her gaze landed on Song Jiaru's face, which still carried tear marks yet appeared even more delicate and touching. A trace of undetectable complex emotion flashed through her eyes, immediately turning into appreciation.

Song Jiaru hurriedly shook hands with her:

"President Lin, you overpraise me. Being able to have today is inseparable from the full support of you and the company."

"Capital is merely a booster."

Lin Ruoxuan gently shook her head, her tone certain,

"Being able to soar into the nine heavens relies on Teacher Song's own irreplaceable talent and strength. We merely saw this value in advance and made the right investment, achieving each other."

Speaking of this, her tone suddenly took on a bit of apology:

"Ashamed to say, I actually wanted to come see you long ago. It's just..."

She pointed at her own heart, revealing a helpless smile,

"My situation, you probably know a bit about. That day in Jinli, you also saw... my current state still cannot withstand too much stimulation."

Song Jiaru remembered the times she visited Wu Xiuyun previously, and had asked for news about Lin Ruoxuan on behalf of Xu Yunzhou.

That old person who had spent half her life in the military sighed and said:

"Xiao Lin she... is very sick. Xiao Lin she has always wanted to go find you two, but her mental state you've also seen..."

"She is a fiercely proud woman. Perhaps she could have accepted Mister accompanying another woman who was younger or more vibrant. What she absolutely cannot endure is the agonizing reality that Mister clearly exists in this world, yet she is forbidden from seeing him. Even exchanging a single word with him requires a third party to relay it..."

"That kind of powerless jealousy and despair is more torturous than any open fighting with swords and spears. Her medical team absolutely won't allow her to receive such stimulation either."

At that time, Xu Yunzhou in front of the screen fell silent for a long time after hearing this, and ultimately could only smile bitterly.

Yeah, this is crueler than being cuckolded. Possessing other women to go find her is indeed too cruel.

It's like forcibly shutting the original cat outside the door, making her watch helplessly as the owner pets another newly arrived cat inside the house, while she doesn't even have the qualification to scratch at the door.

It was only recently, after a long period of psychological therapy, that the doctors finally nodded, believing her psychological defense line had been rebuilt enough to face various sudden situations, and only then allowed her to come see Song Jiaru.

Song Jiaru nodded:

"President Lin, I understand, I..."

Seeing Lin Ruoxuan immediately made her think of a possibility that suffocated her—perhaps Big Brother hadn't really left, but just like leaving Lin Ruoxuan back then, was now possessing another younger girl who needed him more?

As soon as this thought emerged, she herself felt a wave of piercing pain.

Lin Ruoxuan's gaze bypassed her shoulder, looking at the void behind her, her lips trembling slightly:

"Is he... is he standing there watching us?"

She finally mustered her life's courage to face this fact.

Song Jiaru's eye rims turned sour. She shook her head, her tone carrying endless desolation:

"He... just left."

Lin Ruoxuan was as if struck by lightning, her hands beginning to tremble violently.

As expected! She understands what I am asking!

And this is indeed the Tyrant's style—abruptly withdrawing and leaving at the moment of reaching the highest peak.

She forcefully suppressed her surging emotions:

"Did he... did he leave any words at the end?"

Looking at Lin Ruoxuan's eyes full of obsession and pain, Song Jiaru said softly:

"He told me to be happy, and also said... he will come see me on a certain day."

"Boom—!"

This sent
