She came to check on her son, first because she was quite concerned about his personal issues, second, the last time her husband was angered by their son, she wanted to come and ease the father-son relationship. Third, she was curious about her son’s working environment and wanted to see for herself just how alluring singing and acting could be, that it kept her son so enchanted he was unwilling to come home.
So, upon seeing Director Li come out, she was very warm and unpretentious, "Hello. Our Zexiao has been under your great care; thank you all for looking after him."
"Of course! It’s our duty!"
Shen Lanxiao said and scanned the crowd, indeed spotting Jiang Xuanqi among them. To be honest, Jiang Xuanqi was the only person from the crew who left an impression on her. After all, her son and Jiang’s rumors had been buzzing lately, and as a mother concerned about her son’s gossip, she had to take a closer look.
At this moment, seeing Jiang standing aside, not having much interaction with her son, and her son’s expression towards Jiang being indifferent, not at all like that of a couple, Shen Lanxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, although she and Yu Jingxi did not have strict requirements for Yu Zexiao’s lifelong mate—such as matching family backgrounds, political alliances, or business collaborations—at the very least, they wanted to find him a woman of good standing and proper behavior! The women in the entertainment industry may look glamorous on the outside, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes? Take Jiang Xuanqi, for example; when the scandal about her and her son first broke out, even though Yu Jingxi was in London, he had someone thoroughly investigate her background, which immediately made him displeased.
If she really had to choose, she’d rather pick the assistant who had always been by her son’s side! At least, she appeared honest and pure, was capable of doing housework, and seemed to get along well with her son!
After chatting on the set, the group had to return inside to shoot an entire scene. While waiting, Jian Anning suggested taking Shen Lanxiao on a tour around the crew’s work areas.
It was Shen Lanxiao’s first-ever exposure to a film set, and she was also afraid of disturbing her son’s work by sitting idle, so she immediately agreed. Apart from the two of them, there was one other person relatively free—Situ Xuan! Naturally, he volunteered eagerly to come over and do the introductions.

"This here is the control room. Even though we don’t need to broadcast live, the combination of different camera angles is decided here, which is convenient for post-production editing."
"This is the sound studio. The film and television center is equipped with the latest and most advanced sound system for dubbing and scoring the films. Everything can be done right here."
"This is set number one."
Jian Anning took Shen Lanxiao around, one place at a time, with Situ Xuan following quietly by their side.
He was uncharacteristically not showering Jian Anning with attention as usual; instead, he silently accompanied them on their tour.
Although he didn’t speak much, he listened and observed attentively. He had always wondered why his father had been unable to forget about Shen Lanxiao over so many years. His own biological mother was clearly also beautiful and noble, with extraordinary origins, so in what way was she inferior to her?
Now, after only a few encounters, even someone as picky as him had to admit that Shen Lanxiao was indeed a woman who exuded comfort and charm.
