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

129 Wanwan, Come to Auntie’s House Tomorrow

In the Su family villa, Huo Meijun stared at Su Mingshen as she finished his call.

“I have to do it now?”

Huo Meijun massaged Su Mingsheng’s shoulders. “Old Su, what do you want to eat? I’ll cook tonight. I haven’t been so happy in a long time. I’ll call Su Wei later and tell him to come home early.”

“Even if you didn’t say anything, I would have called Chenxin today. Ms. Huo Meijun, I thought you never cared about the company. You know Li Yanchen?” Su Mingsheng had just returned home from a business trip and had yet to put down his bag when he was forced to call Li Yanchen by Huo Meijun.

“Do you think I only know how to play Mahjong when I’m at home every day? Didn’t you say you didn’t sleep all night? Go and rest for a while. I’ll go to the supermarket with Auntie Liu to buy some groceries. I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner.”

“Okay, okay.” Su Mingsheng took off his glasses and walked towards the bedroom.

Seeing her husband close the door, Huo Meijun sent a voice message to Lin Wan. “Wanwan, come to Auntie’s house tomorrow. I tried the crystal suit you mentioned last time but it didn’t work. Do you have time to come and guide me personally?”

At the Royal Water Bay, Lin Wan just finished making a Baklava cake in the live broadcast room. Xia Mo had never even heard of this dessert’s name. When the finished product was displayed in front of the camera, the bullet screen went still.

Xia Mo walked around the freshly made dessert a few times. “What’s this called?”

“Baklava, a dessert from Greece.”

“I’ve made 30 of these. I’ll set up a lucky draw. Those who win tonight can collect their prizes at The Sweetheart Inn tomorrow.” Lin Wan sent a red packet to the live stream.

[Sister, you’re the best. I love you to death!]

[Foreigners want a lucky draw too!]

[Xiao Huan. Can you make a few batches that can be delivered overseas? foreign dessert lovers can’t wait to taste them.]

[The happiness I feel today being a citizen of Yun City is great! My house is near The Sweetheart Inn.]

[@ Previous Poster, you are just here to attract hate, aren’t you?]

Xia Mo could not help but pick up a slice and taste it.

[Is Xia Mo stealing food? Hahahaha, so cute.]

[Is this the first time our Xiaxia has eaten secretly in the live broadcast room?]

[You can imagine how delicious Baklava must be when it’s just out of the oven.]

[Does the industry still need a guest streamer? I don’t want a salary, but I still have to pay school fees.]

[There are many people who want to go. Get in line.]

“The winner will be sent a private message. Alright, what else do you want to ask?” Lin Wan sat down at an empty chair.

Everyone in the live broadcast room spoke freely.

In the Su family Villa, Huo Meijun waited for half an hour, but there was no reply. She sent another text, “Wanwan, are you busy? When you’re done, give Auntie a call.”

It was not until four in the afternoon that Lin Wan saw Huo Meijun’s message after she had turned off her livestream.

Lin Wan felt that it was strange. She had only met Huo Meijun once. However, in the past two days, Huo Meijun had sent her several messages, asking her to come to her house.

“Auntie, I’ll ask if Yanchen is free. If he is, then I’ll get him to accompany me over tomorrow morning. I’ll give you a reply by tonight.” Lin Wan typed out two lines. She did not want to visit the Su family alone.

“Sure. I’ll wait for your reply. Last time, you said you liked stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat. Old Su’s friend sent some over. I’ll soak it and cook it for you tomorrow.”

During the live broadcast in Lan Village, many people hated Lin Wan. However, Huo Meijun’s attitude was completely different. She liked Lin Wan very much.

That time, Lin Wan had come to their house as a guest and the two of them had chatted for a while. Huo Meijun had said that she liked Lin Wan’s personality the most. She had also thanked him for exposing the sleeping pill in the milk powder.

For the past two years, Huo Meijun had been trying to separate her son from Xu Xiaoxiao, but Su Wei wouldn’t listen to her no matter what. Now that the milk powder incident had driven Xu Xiaoxiao away, Huo Meijun could finally put down the huge burden in her heart.

Huo Meijun was a person who clearly saw the difference between gratitude and grudges. She only found out that Li Yanchen was also bidding for a spot on the second floor of Bai Si. Hence, she mentioned it to Su Mingsheng, but she did not expect her husband to have already made a decision.

She also knew that it was not convenient to ask Lin Wan over alone, but she really wanted to see her. That was why she sent a few messages to ask for her opinion.

“Wanwan, I’ll take these back with me. See you tomorrow.” Xia Mo packed all the desserts and happily put them into a thermal box.

“I’ll see you off till the parking lot.” Lin Wan removed her apron and followed her out.

The largest meeting room in Chenxin was filled with people.

The moment Li Yanchen announced that they had secured the best spot on the second floor of Bai Si, everyone cheered.

Secretary Han punched a fist in the air in joy and leaned back on his chair in relief.

“In August, I will have to join the variety show again so I will leave the company in the capable hands of Secretary Han for that month. Don’t contact me unless it is absolutely necessary.” Li Yanchen had Secretary Han sit in the main seat after he finished speaking. “Secretary Han, the floor is yours.”

Li Yanchen, on the other hand, sat down in the audience.

In the evening, the three children went home together, each carrying large and small bags of things in their hands. Assistant Qin parked the car and took out two 32-inch suitcases from the trunk.

Auntie Huang saw the children walking unsteadily and quickly went up to help little Li Zekai with the bags.

Lin Wan, who was sitting on a stone bench and preparing for the “Night Talk”, got up and walked to them.

“Grandma Huang, you can leave the things here. Please help us bring the three suitcases from the study,” said Li Zexuan.

Lin Wan was confused.

“Young master, should I place these two boxes here as well?” Assistant Qin asked.

“Yes, five is enough.”

Li Zexin put his hands on his waist and glanced at the stuff as though they were spoils of war. “My brother really spent a lot of money today. Canned food, vacuum-packed meat, Father Xing’s bottled coffee, all kinds of snacks, and this, self-heating mini hotpot. The staff said that as long as there is water, you can eat steaming hot pot with ten different flavors. Even if you don’t cook for a week, you can eat different food every day!”

“Auntie, there are also energy bars.” Li Zekai picked out the energy bar he had specially chosen from the pile of items.

Lin Wan was completely baffled. The children were preparing for the second episode of the show.

“Ms. Lin, here’s your favorite!” Li Zexin showed her a packet of dried sour plums that he had insisted on buying.

“By the way, Ms. Lin, look at this.” Li Zexuan opened his newly bought suitcase. It was filled to the brim with wine bottles.

“Are you guys going to open a supermarket in Lan Village?” Lin Wan frowned.

...

“Young master, these two big boxes can’t be full of food, can they?” Auntie Huang covered her mouth and laughed.

“Jiejie, cover Ms. Lin’s eyes. I’ll open the box.” Li Zexin mysteriously stood in front of another big box.

The silver suitcase was full of clothes.

“Ms. Lin, don’t always wear sportswear. These clothes are for you.” Li Zexin turned to his big brother. “Big brother spent a lot of money. When I start making money, I will also buy you lots of stuff.”
