Yukiko Kudo was completely stunned, her face filled with shock, disbelief, and incredulity.
Yukiko Kudo is well aware of Sharon's acting skills; it's no exaggeration to say that Sharon's acting skills are among the best in the world.
Otherwise, Sharon wouldn't be able to perfectly disguise herself as someone else at will.
Yet Sharon was willing to use her acting career as a guarantee that Chen Anxia's acting skills were the best she had ever seen.
Yukiko Kudo knew that Sharon's words included herself as well.
There's also the comment from the world-renowned director Camel: "A real illusion, clearly existing before our eyes, yet like a phantom in this world..."
Yukiko Kudo simply couldn't imagine what level of acting skills it would take to earn such praise from Carmel.
Shocked, Yukiko Kudo frowned deeply and asked, "Wait a minute, I don't remember Anxia appearing in 'Future Alliance'?"
Sharon smiled sarcastically upon hearing this and said, "That's because the biggest investor in this film is a racist. They won't allow Ansha to star in it and are threatening Carmel with the investment."
"Although Cameron is a world-renowned director, he can only compromise in the face of capital."
Upon hearing this, Yukiko Kudo remained silent.
In fact, Yukiko Kudo had also experienced something similar, so she knew very well that this self-proclaimed free country was not truly free.
Sharon didn't continue on this topic, but instead said, "Because Anxia's acting skills really amazed me, and my acting skills at that time had reached a bottleneck."
"So I took the initiative to approach An Xia, hoping to break through my acting bottleneck through him."
"That's how I met him, got to know him, and fell in love with him. In the process, his talent, knowledge, demeanor, and eloquence impressed me greatly."
"After that, it seemed as if it were destined that I would have such a young friend, and we naturally became friends despite the age difference."
Sharon glanced at Chen Anxia and Ran Mouri, who were chatting happily behind her, and Shinichi Kudo, who looked like he had swallowed a jar of jealousy. She couldn't help but smirk and said, "Yukiko, if you want to match your son with that cute girl, you'd better put your mind to it."
"To be honest, if I had met An Xia when I was younger, I would definitely have fallen in love with him uncontrollably."
"You might think I'm exaggerating, but once you get to know him, you'll understand just how charming he is."
Yukiko Kudo never expected Sharon to evaluate Chen Anxia in this way, and she never expected that the proud and arrogant Sharon would be so impressed by Chen Anxia.
This also indirectly proves just how outstanding Chen Anxia is.
As for what Sharon said later, Yukiko Kudo actually believed it completely.
Two years ago, Yukiko Kudo had personally witnessed Chen Anxia's charm at a ski resort in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.
Thinking about it, Yukiko Kudo's heart, which had been somewhat at ease, began to waver again.
This made Yukiko Kudo secretly decide that she would teach her silly son some practical tips on picking up girls when she got back, so that her wonderful daughter-in-law, Ran, wouldn't be snatched away by someone else.
Sharon and Yukiko Kudo weren't talking loudly, so Chen Anxia and the others following behind them didn't hear them.
After a while, Chen Anxia and her group finally arrived at the main dressing room.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three leading actresses from the Golden Apple musical recognized Yukiko Kudo and exclaimed with delight, "You're the Baroness of the Night!?"
Upon seeing this, Yukiko Kudo happily admitted, "That's right!"
Seeing this, Ran Mouri asked with some confusion, "The Baroness of the Night?"
Hearing Ran Mouri's confusion, Shinichi Kudo explained, "That's what Americans call my mother because she's the author of the bestselling mystery novel 'The Baron of the Night,' and also my father Yusaku Kudo's wife."
"And my mother, as the wife of a mystery writer, was once a guest on a special investigative program on an American television station."
"Because my mother's reasoning was always spot-on, the criminals were arrested in no time, and that's how she gradually became a household name as a female detective..."
Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's face showed a look of realization and amazement.
Before Ran could say anything, she suddenly heard an uncertain whisper from behind her, "You are... the Child of God!?"

Chapter 392 Chen Anxia, the Son of God Surpassing the World's Number One! (Please Subscribe!)
Son of God?
Upon hearing this title, everyone present couldn't help but turn their heads to look in curiosity.
They all wanted to see who could be given a title related to God.
Upon closer inspection, they recognized the speaker as Iberia Hamilton, one of the leading actresses in The Golden Apple.
At this moment, Iberis looked at Chen Anxia with some hesitation and uncertainty.
Upon seeing this, Ran Mouri couldn't help but be somewhat astonished, muttering to herself, "Anxia is...the Child of God?"
Shinichi Kudo, standing to the side, frowned as he watched Chen Anxia ponder the meaning of the "Child of God" that Iberis had mentioned.
Sharon and Yukiko Kudo looked at each other, completely bewildered, wondering why Chen Anxia was given a title related to God.
Only Chen Anxia and Hua Sheng remained calm, clearly knowing why.
Just then, Rose Hewitt, one of the actresses who also starred in The Golden Apple, spoke up and asked, "Iberis, what are you saying? Why are you calling this boy the Son of God?"
After Rose spoke, the other two leading actresses, Argani Nielsen and Lila Sanchez, also spoke.
"Is he a religious person? Otherwise, why would he be called the Son of God?"
"But he doesn't look like a religious person."
After hearing what everyone said, Iberis closed her eyes slightly to compose herself.
But when Iberis opened her eyes again, she had already regained her 'world-weary face'.
Immediately afterward, Iberis spoke up, "The title of 'Son of God' is not exclusive to religious people."
Then, Iberis changed the subject and asked, "Do you know Gesang Rodney?"
Most of the people present looked blank upon hearing this, clearly not recognizing the Gesang Rodney that Iberis was referring to.
This includes Ran Mouri and the other three female leads, Golden Apple.
Shinichi Kudo, Sharon Kudo, and Yukiko Kudo had obviously heard of Gesang Rodney and were waiting for Iberia to continue.
In this situation, Ran Mouri couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shinichi, who is this Gesang Rodney?"
Upon seeing this, Shinichi Kudo did not hesitate and said directly, "Gesang Rodney is the world's number one male tennis player."
"He holds the record for the longest consecutive weeks at world number one in singles in the history of the Professional Tennis Association, and has won more than 20 Grand Slam men's singles titles."
"Moreover, he is considered by many commentators, current and retired players to be one of the greatest players of all time."
"Eh!"
Ran Mouri and the other three female leads of Golden Apple were all amazed when they heard this.
However, neither they nor Shinichi Kudo understood why Iberis would suddenly bring up Gesang Rodney.
This time, Iberis didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "More than a year ago, Gesang Rodney won the Wimbledon tennis championship again, which is not surprising to those who know him."
"But few people know that before the Wimbledon tennis tournament began, Gesang Rodney encountered a teenager and had a tennis match with him that most people would find hard to imagine."
As she spoke, Iberis looked at the crowd in front of her and asked, "Can you imagine? The world's number one, Gesang Rodney, was completely shut out by that young man, and didn't even manage to take a single point from him."
Everyone was shocked by what they heard, and their faces showed disbelief.
Although most people don't know much about tennis, this is still incredible to think about.
Everyone understands the weight of the title 'world's number one'.
Generally speaking, winning the title of 'world's number one' means that the skill has reached the pinnacle of the world.
So, what level of tennis skill does this young man possess, who was able to defeat Gesang Rodney, who is at the top of the tennis world, in a shutout?
Amidst the chaos of everyone's thoughts, Shinichi Kudo seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "I remember now. A major event happened in the tennis world back then, which was also widely reported by the news media."
"The gist of it is that after winning the Wimbledon title, Gesang Rodney said something inexplicable in an interview: 'I won the title, but I was utterly defeated by him.'"
"When reporters later pressed him for his identity, Gesang Rodney said, 'I don't know if he's a man or a god, but if he's a man, he must be the closest human to the god of tennis, a son of God!'"
"After that, a wave of searching for the Son of God swept through the world of tennis."
At this point, everyone realized what had happened and turned to Chen Anxia with shocked, incredulous, and unbelievable gazes.
Chen Anxia responded with a smile, appearing completely calm and composed.
Iberis was surprised that Shinichi Kudo knew so much, and looked at him with some astonishment, saying, "That's right, at that time, a wave of searching for the Son of God did indeed sweep through the world of tennis."
“Gesang Rodney himself has also joined this wave, wanting to find the Son of God, wanting to play against him again, and wanting to glimpse the almost godlike tennis skills.”
"But all that Gesang Rodney found in this wave were imposters who claimed to be the sons of God."
"As for the true Son of God, he has completely disappeared and has never appeared in the tennis world again, as if he never existed."
"This fact made Gesang Rodney regretful, but it also made him more convinced that the boy he played against that day was the real son of God, the incarnation of the god of tennis, and an angel who came to guide him to go further."
As she spoke, Iberis couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia.
This time, Iberis's eyes were filled with certainty.
Ran Mouri, unable to contain her shock, looked at Chen Anxia and asked, "Anxia, are you really the child of God?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia smiled and said amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, "If you are referring to the person who shut out Gesang Rodney, then it was indeed me."
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's admission, the people present were even more shocked.
Iberis couldn't help but ask, "Son of God, why haven't you appeared in the tennis world since then?"
"With your skill, you are fully capable of breaking the record set by Gesang Rodney and becoming a legend that everyone in the tennis world needs to look up to."
Everyone was curious about the question Iberis asked and wanted to know Chen Anxia's answer.
In response, Chen Anxia said, "Tennis is just one of my interests."
"The reason I challenged Gesang Rodney to a match back then was simply to test my tennis skills."
"I have absolutely no interest in entering the tennis world and becoming a professional tennis player, and I will never enter the tennis world in the future."
As she spoke, Chen Anxia glanced at Shinichi Kudo, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and said with a slight upturn of her lips, "Because I am now a high school detective who has embarked on the path of detective work and is striving to win the title of number one."
