The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them-Chapter 9

Lin Wan is Su Daji, Causing Chaos in The Imperial Court

Positive messages finally appeared on the bullet screen.

[I can tell that the price of radishes in the supermarket is going to rise. Hurry up and buy in bulk!]

[We’re all women. Who doesn’t want to be favored by their husbands?]

[That’s right. Nowadays, many men are perfunctory to their wives under the pretense of putting their children first. In fact, I don’t see them being very responsible as fathers either.]

[So, are we fighting for the sake of justice or are we simply jealous of Lin Wan?]

Before noon, Li Yanchen had already made it to the hot search twice.

In the Li family’s courtyard, Li Zexuan took the lead with an ax and split the firewood in accordance with his father’s instructions.

Li Yanchen had told him that the firewood had to be placed vertically, and that one should never hold it while chopping it. If they were not able to control their strength properly, they might end up cutting off their own hands.

Li Zexuan used all his strength but couldn’t split open the firewood.

“Brother, you should take a break. Watch me.” Li Zexin’s ax actually split a wooden log.

“Did you secretly eat the spinach? Where did you all your strength from?” Li Zexuan joked.

The group of mothers in the live broadcast room looked at the two brothers who were having fun chopping wood. They sensed that, without their stepmother around, the atmosphere was completely different.

...

At Wheatley’s house, Wheatley and her father had just returned from catching fish. The girl’s face was red from being in the sun. The fans were distressed and asked Nannan to apply some ointment.

Nannan looked at her stepdaughter’s face and frowned. “Sweetheart, what happened to your face? Is it painful? Mike, didn’t you say that the sun was not very hot around the river?”

Wheatley’s father was adamant. “Sunbathing is healthy.”

[Nannan really loves Wheatley.]

[Wheatley’s dad, you have to be more careful. Our Wheatley is a child star, her face is very important.]

[She is not a bad stepmother.]

[By the way, are all daddies like this?]

[No way, Xiao Yi’s father treasures Xiao Yi so much, and he’s so meticulous.]

[Yes, yes, Xiao Yi is still the oldest among the children, but I feel that father Xiao and mother Xiao are very meticulous.]

“Auntie, I want to drink some freshly squeezed mango juice.” Wheatley came back from under the sun. Her mouth was dry.

“I will make it in no time.” Nannan put down the work she was doing and took the mango to squeeze out some juice.

The more approving Nannan’s behavior was, the more the fans demonized Lin Wan by comparing them both.

Lin Wan was once again on the hot search list, and it just so happened that she was on the same page as Li Yanchen ‘s lover. Every comment made it a point to convey that she was not worthy of Li Yanchen.

In Yun City, on the top floor of the Taian building, Assistant Qin was having a mental breakdown from the incessant ringing of the phone. He had just removed Lin Wan’s negative news after staying up all night. ‘Why did it go up again in just half a day?’ Assistant Qin sat there dejectedly. If he had known that Li Yanchen would be attending, he would not have pushed Lin Wan to attend at all.

He could not figure out why she was getting such a negative response. Even though he knew nothing about her past, he found that she wasn’t very unreliable. He had only found out about her the day Li Yanchen had announced his marriage.

“Assistant Qin, the PR statement is ready, but if Madam continues like this, it’ll be tiring for us to follow her around every day. It’s too much work.” Manager Liu of the publicity department had also been working overnight.

“Why don’t you discuss this with President Li? There was a lot of news about the young master in the past, but he always ignored it. The internet is like a gust of wind. It will blow over.” Manager Liu’s words were reasonable.

However, Assistant Qin had already sent a message to Li Yanchen and hadn’t gotten a response yet. He must have rejected the suggestion he sent.

“Manager Liu, I think we need to set up a public relations department with two shifts to take charge of this. This is much easier than trying to make President Li change his mind. Calculate how many idle people there are in the company and plan a meeting with the heads of all departments at once.” Assistant Qin could be considered as Li Yanchen ‘s personal assistant. Except for the new projects that he wasn’t part of, he handled everything else: logistics, personnel arrangements, and even the Li family’s personal affairs.

“Okay,” Manager Liu said helplessly.

Han Jiahe was equally puzzled. He had bet on the fact that there was no way Li Yanchen would ever participate on a variety show. Others had believed him and taken out a small amount from their food allowance to bet on the same. In the end, they had all lost.

After the arrangements for the new project, Han Jiahe knocked on Qin Xiangyi’s office door. The topic of conversation was still centered around Li Yanchen and Lin Wan.

In the end, the two of them agreed that Lin Wan was like Su Daji, the one who had caused the chaos in the Imperial court. Although they had only joined the company after the former Madam’s accident and the old employees had all left, they managed to dig out some information. The former Madam was a well-read and accomplished woman. She graduated from Imperial University and obtained her Ph.D. even before her 30th birthday. She was extremely good to her children and her husband. She was also very polite towards the employees.

In the face of that information, Lin Wan seemed even more lazy and unworthy. Lin Wan also had no parents. It made everyone suspect that she was after his money. They thought Li Yanchen had been bewitched by her.

As Li Yanchen ‘s right-hand men, it seemed like the two of them had to do something about such a situation.

...

In Lan Village, Lin Wan washed her face with the well water after she returned home.

‘Did Li Yanchen just carry me?’ He didn’t chide her for suddenly falling asleep and leaving her stepson alone, nor did he wake her up. Lin Wan felt that their relationship wasn’t as cold as it was made out in the novels.

‘If that was the case, would he ask to spend the night together?’ thought Lin Wan. ‘Absolutely not! I can’t spend the night with a man I have only just met. But if he rejected her, what would that mean?’

Lin Wan thought to herself, ‘This transmigration is indeed a failure. No matter how I look at it, I don’t feel like I’m here to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. Instead, I feel like I’m here to clean up their mess.’

When Li Zexin saw that Lin Wan had arrived alone, he pretended that he couldn’t lift the ax.

“You do it,” he said to her.

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows and glanced at her second stepson’s annoying face. She wanted to blatantly refuse. But she still felt bad that she had fallen asleep while a child had to work alone. She was worried that, if she wasn’t hated already, this would be the last straw So, she took the ax and prepared to chop the log. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

When she raised her hand to swing the ax, Li Yanchen stopped her and took it from her hands. “Go rest,” he said.

Li Zexin, Li Zexuan and Li Zekai were all speechless.

[So, it’s not that Lin Wan is lazy. She’s just too well-protected by Li Yanchen, and he can’t bear to let her do any hard work.]

[The favored are fearless]

[I’m done for. After watching this variety show, will the divorce rates in the country increase?]

[I suddenly feel that my husband, who’s carrying a doll on his back and riding a big horse, doesn’t look good anymore.]
