"Are we still looking? We have no clues at all. Searching blindly is like looking for a needle in a haystack!" Xia Qianqian said.
Liu Yifeng pulled the car over to the side of the road and sighed helplessly, "Alas, I wonder where this child has run off to. I hope nothing bad happens!"
He knew Tongtong could figure out where Song Yicheng was, but what good would it do? Tongtong couldn't change the course of history, or it would harm his body.
Since the final outcome couldn't be changed, why bother asking? If they knew the result in advance, and it was a good outcome, everyone would still suffer psychological pressure to varying degrees.
Therefore, he never thought of asking Tongtong for such information.
If he found him, that would be great. If not, he couldn't blame himself. He had tried his best to search.
Yun Duo'er left after the television station people arrived to help search for Song Yicheng.
She couldn't search herself; she was unfamiliar with this place.
Offering a symbolic few words of comfort was already quite good.
After leaving the television station, she immediately called Sister Jin, demanding, "Sister Jin, didn't you say Song Yicheng could be the champion? He was eliminated today. What's going on?
Was I just an accompanying guest for being invited as a special guest for so many days?"
"What, he was eliminated?" Sister Jin was also a little surprised. Song Yicheng was someone she and the company had selected from many contestants. Everyone recognized his strength and believed he had a great chance of winning the championship. She didn't expect him to be eliminated.
"Yes, he was eliminated. Not only did he not win the championship, he didn't even make it to the top three. If I had known this would be the outcome, I wouldn't have participated at all. I was even proven wrong by my own son," Yun Duo'er said irritably.
Sister Jin quickly placated her, "Don't be angry. No matter what, Song Yicheng has made it this far. As his special guest, you'll get plenty of screen time.
Don't worry, even if there are no championship resource rewards, the company will still promote you heavily.
I've just found two very good scripts for you. You can choose whichever one you like, and we'll film it."
Hearing this, Yun Duo'er's mood improved considerably, "That's more like it. But it's really a shame. The finals are tomorrow, and Song Yicheng faltered at the critical moment.
Now Gao Yuan must be gloating. One of her contestants made it to the top three."
"She'll soon be a flower of yesterday. How many good resources can a female artist her age get?" Sister Jin said.
"By the way, are you still with Song Yicheng? Remember, even though he lost the competition, you must maintain your dignity. Don't let anyone think that you're giving him the cold shoulder because he lost."
"I'd like to give him the cold shoulder, but I need an opportunity for that!"
After hearing Yun Duo'er's words, Sister Jin was perplexed, "What do you mean?"
"You don't know how lively it was at the recording site today. Song Yicheng and his mother had a huge argument, and then he ran off. He still hasn't been found." Yun Duo'er wasn't concerned about Song Yicheng's disappearance. He wasn't her son, nor was he the child of her relatives. If she worried about this, would she be able to cope with the countless children who go missing every day?
She was naturally like this, with a detached personality.
This might have something to do with her upbringing. She was given away by her biological parents when she was very young. Later, her adoptive mother, who adopted her, passed away from illness. Her adoptive father remarried, and her stepmother disliked her, which in turn made her adoptive father also dislike her.
It could be said that she was raised by the community. Sometimes when she was hungry, neighbors, pitying her, would give her something to eat.
If her stepmother saw her eating, she would snatch the food from her hand and lock her up, starving her for a day and a night.
This life continued until she went to college. To escape this life, she specifically chose to study in a very distant city. Since then, she had never returned.
To earn tuition and living expenses, she would work as a model for photoshoots during her free time, or she would work at a bar.
Although she often encountered lecherous men who touched her inappropriately, the bar earned quite a lot. Sometimes, generous customers would give her tips that could cover her living expenses for a month.
Originally, she didn't attend an art school in college; it was just an ordinary university. Her major was accounting.
The reason she chose this path was that when she was working part-time at the bar, a director spotted her and said it would be a shame if she didn't act with her looks.
Later, she was given a role as a minor character, and thus she became interested in the industry.
Subsequently, an entertainment company recognized her potential and signed her to a three-year contract.
However, at that time, she was proud and unwilling to accept the casting couch. This angered the company's high-level executives.
From then on, she only received bad scripts, or her character was made ugly in the drama, all to force her to compromise.
But young people care more about their dignity. She never sold her body for her future.
Thus, after she graduated from university, her contract with the company also expired. Suddenly losing her source of income, she was dejected and came to Haicheng alone, wanting to clear her mind.
The first thing she did upon arriving in Haicheng was to go to a bar. As a result, she got drunk. When she woke up, she found that her first time had been taken by a strange man.
She thought the matter was over, but a month later, her period was late, and she went to the hospital for a check-up. She discovered she was pregnant.
At that time, she didn't hesitate to want an abortion. However, the doctor said that due to her physical condition, becoming pregnant was already very difficult. If she aborted this child, she might never be able to have her own children again. Thus, she gave birth to Tongtong.
Later, during her pregnancy, an entertainment company wanted to sign her. It was her current company. She signed without hesitation, but stated that due to her physical condition, she needed to rest at home for eight months. After her health improved, she would follow the company's arrangements.
Thus, less than a month after giving birth to Tongtong, she started acting in a drama.
Since she had no family, and she wanted nothing to do with her adoptive parents, and Tongtong was so young and needed care, she hired a nanny to look after him.
It was after giving birth to Tongtong that she realized the importance of her career. Without money, she couldn't give Tongtong a good life. Therefore, she worked tirelessly, earned money diligently, and even accepted the casting couch, which she had sworn never to accept, and her career slowly began to pick up.
But the company, through some unknown means, found out she had a child. They demanded she send the child away, or she would have to pay a sky-high penalty for breach of contract and be blacklisted.
For her career and her future life, she had no choice but to send Tongtong to his biological father.
