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

"Alright," he said. Lin Wan unceremoniously rubbed her hands together and sat on the small bench in front of the door, watching her stepsons work hard.

There was a brief silence in the live broadcast room, followed by a screen full of question marks.

[The education methods of rich people are so different.]

[Perhaps they want to teach their children to be sustainable. At home, they are fed and cared for, and given everything they want or need.]

[Sisters, crowdfund a knife. I want to make Lin Wan a copper wire.]

[Even if it's to train their children, parents should set an example. Don't forget that this is a family-related variety show.]

[It's not like it's only the children who need to learn to be sustainable! Doesn't a rice wife need the same kind of survival skills especially since she doesn't need to do anything at home at all?]

[The children's mother is no longer around, and their father still values s*x over the children. These children are so pitiful.]

[I think you're just worrying about nothing. They are just following a script. How can a show be popular if it's not acted out like this?]

[Yeah. The more we scold her, the more attention Lin Wan gets.]

After sitting down, Lin Wan finally had the time to look at the comments. As expected, they were all criticizing her. Everyone even commented that she must be very good in 'a certain aspect'.

Lin Wan was getting suspicious as well. 'If Lin Yanchen was a good husband and loved his wife and remained single because he couldn't love anybody else, why had he gotten married to the original owner of the body? If indeed the original owner of the body was good in that 'aspect', then tonight…'

As she thought about it, Lin Wan clenched her hands uncomfortably. If she had known this earlier, she could have ignored everything and tried not to form a proper relationship with the family. She was anxious about going through the embarrassing process and him finding out his wife was a virgin after being married to him for half a month! 'How was she going to explain that? Could she say that she had recovered the…? No matter how she looked at it, it would all sound like an excuse!' Lin Wan wanted to run away.

Looking at Lin Wan's face that became serious by the second, Li Yanchen tried to get her out of the camera's scrutiny.

"Go lie down in your room and rest for a while," he said. "I will call you when it's time to eat."

[Did you guys hear that? Li Yanchen asked Lin Wan to lie down in her room!]

[My God!]

[What about cooking? Don't tell me Li Yanchen is going to cook by himself?]

[Will Li Yanchen ask Xuan to cook for him? I'll fight him! If Li Yanchen really gets Xuan to cook for him, I'll never buy anything from Chenxin ever again.]

[Me too. No matter how high the price-performance ratio of Li Yanchen 's company's goods is, I'll firmly boycott them.]

"Dad, Jiejie also wants to rest." Li Zekai stretched dirty hands. "Look! My hand is injured."

Li Yanchen washed his son's hands clean. He realized that he had a scratch on his arm.

"Does it hurt? I can put a band-aid on it." He took out a band-aid from his pocket. He had bought some from the pharmacy in the morning when he bought breakfast.

Li Zekai touched the band-aid that his father had put on the scratch on his arm. He wrapped his arms around Li Yanchen 's neck. "Daddy, the blood is gone but it hurts a bit. Since my task is completed, can I rest with Auntie? I want to tell her my stories."

Li Yanchen 's eyes widened slightly. The request seemed a little imposing. He was grateful and surprised that Lin Wan had accepted to take his place in the show when he was away at the last minute. But he didn't think it was proper for him to let his sons bother her. The Li family was supposed to be a shelter for her, not a cage. He didn't want to put her under any obligation to care for the children.

However, his youngest son's eyes filled with anticipation.

"Sure." Before Li Yanchen could even make up an excuse to dissuade his son, Lin Wan accepted Li Zekai's request. Lin Wan had her own reasons.

"Auntie, you're the best!" Li Zekai clapped his hands happily. The little boy also had his own plans, too.

Li Yanchen was taken aback. However, before he could stop his son, he held Lin Wan's hand and entered the house with her.

...

Tutu returned from Li Zekai's house, with spring in his steps. He skipped and skidded happily because he felt that Su Wei loved him very much, unlike Li Zekai's father.

However, the chubby boy didn't expect to see Su Wei and Xu Xiaoxiao holding hands.

Tutu deliberately walked between the two of them and sat on the ground, crying. "Dad, I hate this woman. I want Mommy to come back. She's not my mom!"

[Didn't the little fatty and Jiejie have a lot of fun together just a while ago? Why is he crying when he gets home?]

[It's understandable for Li Yanchen to marry Lin Wan after losing his wife. However, Su Wei abandoned his wife to marry Xu Xiaoxiao. Of course, the child would not be able to accept it.]

[I want to live with my parents.]

[Xu Xiaoxiao's life isn't good either. This little devil is harder to deal with than the three children of the Li family.]

[I'm starting to pity Xu Xiaoxiao.]

"Tutu, didn't you promise me that you would be well-behaved in exchange for Ultraman cards after the show?" Su Wei was exhausted because of his son's behavior from the past few days.

Every time he ever brought Xu Xiaoxiao to his house, Tutu was angry. He had thought that children took time to adapt to new changes in life, so he was patient.

But he had seen how kindly Xu Xiaoxiao treated Tutu and his family, but Tutu always disrespected her. He suspected whether his ex-wife had something to do with this. Their divorce hadn't been peaceful.

"I don't want this woman. I want my Mommy back. The food she makes tastes awful, and she's snatching my father away from me." Tutu sobbed.

"That's not true! I will cook for you today. What would you like to eat?" asked Su Wei. He crouched down and patted Tutu on the head.

"I want to eat the sweet and sour fish that Mommy makes. I want my Mommy. She is not my Mommy," cried Tutu. "Please Daddy, let her go. I don't want to be her son!" Tutu wailed in grief.

The fans could feel Xu Xiaoxiao's embarrassment and sadness through the screen.

[Tutu, are you saying that you won't accept this woman in front of thousands of people?]

[Do you think Tutu's family will quit?]

[It's hard to say. It's only been two days. Who can stand it if it happens every time?]

[Didn't Su Wei just tell Xu Xiaoxiao that he's going on a business trip in two days? Xu Xiaoxiao will be taking care of the child alone.]

[My God, the roof will be flipped over.]

"Tutu, Auntie can cook anything you like," said Xu Xiaoxiao gently. "Maybe I can try to make the sweet and sour fish you like so much. It might not be the same as your Mommy's, but I make it delicious, too. Do you want to try it once? We can go to the pond and catch fish together. The fish you catch yourself will taste even more delicious!"

Su Wei looked at her, his eyes full of guilt.

Hearing the word 'fish', Tutu's crying stopped abruptly. All the children liked to play in the water.

"Okay," said Tutu and wiped his tears. "But if it is not good, then you have to leave!"

[Poor Xu Xiaoxiao is really working hard.]

[How can she go through something so humiliating just to marry ric?]

[Doesn't she have any self-respect?]

[I can't bear to see what happens after Su Wei leaves.]

[Don't you think we are taking too much pleasure in other people's misfortune?]

[Oh, just get lost!]

In addition to his son's rejection of Xu Xiaoxiao, the comments on the screen made Su Wei even more sad.
