I'm busking on the streets with my kid, and my domineering CEO is helping me break into the mus

The autumn night breeze carried a chill, and pedestrians strolled along under the neon lights.

However, their emotions were all different.

For example, Gao Linlin's hands were enveloped in warmth.

But her heart remained cold.

She knew the woman in front of her was trying to comfort her.

How could she possibly understand the grievances she herself had suffered?

They are both their parents' children, but the treatment their younger brother receives is worlds apart from their own.

In the years since she ran away from home, she has suffered greatly from human hardship and the coldness of human relationships.

Even so, in order to reduce the trouble from her family, she not only had to work part-time to earn tuition fees, but also had to give back to her family every month to support her younger brother.

In the eyes of other parents, their own children are their children.

In his own parents' eyes, he was not even as good as livestock.

If it weren't for music as her companion and motivation, the stubborn woman would probably have ended her life long ago.

Gao Linlin sniffed and said, trying to sound strong:

"Sister Yang, it's getting a bit chilly, and I can barely walk anymore."

Yang Xue raised her hand and, like a mother, tidied Gao Linlin's hair, which had been disheveled by the wind.

"I know there are far too many grievances in this world."

Gao Linlin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said with red eyes:

"Sister... I don't think you know."

"Because only those who have experienced such injustice and grievances can truly understand them."

Gao Linlin knew that Yang Xue was burdened with millions in debt.

In her view, debts can be repaid through ability; it's just a matter of time.

But what about debts of affection...?

As she spoke, Gao Linlin looked up at the night sky and said wistfully:

Sometimes I think, how wonderful it would have been if I had been born an orphan...

"That way I can be free of worries, and I won't be implicated by those so-called 'family'."

After hearing this, Yang Xue couldn't help but smile wryly and shake her head. Some images flashed through her mind, and her voice became much lower.

"If that's the case, after you can remember things, the 'home' you know might be an orphanage."

Gao Linlin, of course, didn't understand, and instead said:

"The welfare home is good; at least it's fair."

Yang Xue scoffed.

"Fairness? Maybe. As long as you don't care, all injustices can be considered fair."

"The teacher's indifference is fair, and so is the bullying by classmates. Because they have no reason to show favoritism to anyone..."

"No family, no name, even getting a steamed bun requires fighting, grabbing, and resorting to any means necessary. Isn't this most primal form of survival of the fittest a kind of fairness in itself?"

Sensing Yang Xue's sudden change in mood, Gao Linlin decisively chose to keep quiet.

It seems like Sister Yang is describing her own life.

“In that place, when you are bullied... you don’t dare to complain, you don’t dare to fight back, and you don’t dare to cry out loud... you will want to find a place where no one is around to hide.”

Yang Xue's voice was hoarse as she continued her narration.

"You'll envy those children who can loudly call out 'Dad' and 'Mom.' But you can only find a secluded spot, secretly practice speaking, hesitant and unable to utter a word..."

"When you hear the teacher emphasize again: She's not your family; this is her job; she has her own children to take care of..."

"Your heart will ache again, and you'll look around blankly, then leave embarrassed like a dog..."

After hearing Yang Xue's description, Gao Linlin was speechless.

Such a scene seemed even more tragic than what they themselves had experienced.

At least you have people you hate, but who should the "orphan" that Sister Yang talks about hate...?

Yang Xue then came to her senses and slowly loosened her clenched hands.

After a soft sigh, Yang Xue said:

"I'm sorry, Linlin, my words were a bit harsh."

Gao Linlin seemed somewhat ashamed; she had lost in terms of musical talent before, and now she had lost in the misery contest as well.

"Sis, um, I'm so sorry..."

"I understand what you said."

Gao Linlin took Yang Xue's hand, her eyes filled with sympathy.

Yang Xue took a deep breath, her tone suddenly becoming firm:

"It's all in the past, and I've gotten used to it."

"This world is fucking messed up! It's full of unfairness."

"But what can we do?"

"But as long as our hearts are strong enough, there is no knife that can harm us!"

Gao Linlin took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Sister, you're right!"

Thinking of the misfortune Yang Xue described, Gao Linlin felt a little relieved.

Tonight, she has gained a new friend with whom she can confide.

From now on, she will no longer be alone.

...

The next morning, all the staff of Xiaolong Media began making final preparations.

For both Yang Xue and the company.

This afternoon's matches could be a chance to change your fate.

Jiang Xiaolong drove early in the morning to contact props and costumes.

Yang Xue and Yang Zhiyao arrived at the company early to begin their rehearsal.

But after going around the circle, Yang Xue did not see Gao Linlin.

He guessed that she might have gone out with Jiang Xiaolong, so he didn't ask any further questions.

The other female streamers, though not participating in the PK, all have fans.

To show their support for their sister, they started their live stream early.

After the round, Yang Zhiyao was the most tired.

They not only had to practice memorizing words, but also run around the room, acting as everyone's messenger and deliveryman.

Of course, she applied for this on purpose, just to show off the new shoes her mom bought for her.

Now, even the neighbor's stray dog ​​knows that Yang Zhiyao has changed to a new pair of shoes.

After washing up, Zhu Yan entered the room and asked Yang Xue with a puzzled look:

"Why is Zhizhi so lively today?"

"I just glanced outside and saw her chasing after the little yellow dog next door, asking whether her left foot or right foot looked better...?"

Yang Xue was copying music files onto Zhu Yan's computer.

Upon hearing these words, a beautiful smile curved her lips.

What was the dog's answer to her?

Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, then said in a serious tone:

"A dog...? I was completely stunned..."

"It can't talk, so how can it..."

Halfway through her sentence, Zhu Yan seemed to sense that something was amiss.

She pointed at Yang Xue with a strange expression and said:

"Oops, wait a minute! You're calling me a dog!"

Yang Xue's smile deepened, and she helplessly explained:

"No, I didn't. It was just a casual remark..."

"My child got new shoes, it's normal for him to show them off, right?"

Seeing her daughter's joy after getting new shoes, Yang Xue felt an indescribable happiness and sense of accomplishment.

I've never felt this happy, not even when I put on new clothes.

After a few jokes, Zhu Yan's heart returned to the tense moment.

This morning I came across a promotional video for the Kyoto hip-hop group accepting the challenge, and its scale and presence were daunting.

Even though Zhu Yan was full of confidence before, she couldn't help but worry after seeing the other party's size.

Zhu Yan approached Yang Xue and asked softly:

"Xuexue, our plan has no flaws, right..."

"We're sure to win today's match, right?"

Yang Xue sensed the worry in Zhu Yan's words.

Zhu Yan is a thoughtful person. She appears carefree on the surface, but she always keeps her emotions and worries to herself.

As a veteran, the company was her home. After experiencing heartbreak and the loss of her child, she was no longer as fearless as she was in college.

Yang Xue's sudden decision signifies change and greater uncertainty.

Whether the future outcome is better or worse, it is something she fears.

But Zhu Yan is also a kind and warm person.

She hopes that the people around her will live with vitality and hope, and she hopes that life will get better and better.

Therefore, they did not hinder their ambitious friends, but simply kept their worries to themselves.

Yang Xue was incredibly perceptive; she had already noticed the changes in her sisters' mindset over the past few days.

However, I was too busy with my own plans and neglected to communicate with the other party.

However, now is a great opportunity.

Yang Xue stood up from her seat, turned around, and looked intently at her sisters, whose features were still exquisite even without makeup.

"Yan Yan, you were the only one who came to my rescue when I was going through the most difficult time."

"When I needed help, you were honest with me and treated me with sincerity."

"In my heart, you are not only my most trusted friend, but also a family member I can rely on."

"I have the reason and the determination to win. I assure you, I will fight with all my might to win this game!"

Yang Xue's words and expressions are both highly infectious.

In fact, she did demonstrate her outstanding abilities.

Since she and her daughter came here, the atmosphere has become more vibrant than before.

Even Jiang Xiaolong started actively contacting various connections instead of sitting at the door playing games every day.

Yang Xue's firm words reassured Zhu Yan a lot.

She nodded silently, thinking to herself:

"Xuexue is working so hard, I should do what I can to help!"

"Today I'll go and try to persuade Linlin to help me out."

"For my sake, I think Linlin should..."

dong dong dong...

A soft knock on the door interrupted Zhu Yan's thoughts.

The two of them looked out at the half-open door at the same time.

Gao Linlin, carrying a white plastic bag, slipped in with a fawning air.

"Sister Yang, you and Zhizhi haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Hehe, I got up early and stood in a long line to buy this breakfast today, come and try it!"

Before Yang Xue could react, Zhu Yan was stunned.
