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

Finally Did Something Humane

Lin Wan scolded Li Yanchen for her stepsons. Even Li Yanchen was surprised.

[Lin Wan is speaking up for baby Xuan. She’s finally doing something!]

[I promise I won’t say anything negative about her today just because of what she said just now.]

[Baby Xuan is so pitiful. Why is it so difficult for his father to praise him at least once?]

[Li Yanchen is so inhumane.]

Li Zexin understood his brother well. His father never seemed to care about his brother no matter what he did to gain his approval. He was so outstanding and talented in everything he did and yet…. While Li Zexuan wasn’t able to get his father’s attention even when he was excellent in everything, Li Zexin tried the opposite approach. He went all out in doing everything that was considered bad. His father didn’t even scold or criticize him.

He gently kicked at Li Zexuan’s foot. “Brother, don’t waste your energy. Even if you threaten him about severing your relationship with him, he won’t bat an eye. He doesn’t care at all.”

Li Zexuan didn’t say anything more. He put down his guitar, went out, and sat by the wall in sadness.

He was always afraid that he might lose his father like he lost his mother. So, he pretended not to be affected by his indifference.

Li Zexin saw his brother leaving unhappily and followed him. The usually aggressive and angry young boy silently carried a wooden stool and sat beside his brother.

Li Zekai felt very scared of the whole situation and instinctively hid behind Lin Wan.

Lin Wan finally understood the children. Living in such an affectionless environment might not have been easy for them.

When she was young, her parents had divorced. She had always been very scared that they wouldn’t want her around, so she had tried to do her best in everything. She realized a little too late that it hadn’t mattered how much she had tried to prove herself. It wouldn’t even matter if she was ranked top in her class, her parents wouldn’t care. To attract her parents ‘attention, she started provoking her classmates. She was only beaten up at home for problematic behavior. In the end, her parents had felt she was too troublesome to raise and had tossed her away to her grandparents’ place.

Lin Wan picked up the guitar that Li Zexuan had left on the ground and played it a little.

The sound was not very unpleasant, and the people frowned. Li Zexin rushed to her as though he was going to yank the guitar out of her hands. But Li Yanchen caught him and motioned for him to be quiet.

“Dad, I just remembered! I asked sister Wheatley to go catch cicadas together. Bye!” Lin Guoguo felt her ears being ravaged, so she made an excuse and left in a hurry.

[My God, if the production team doesn’t stop it, my daughter will wake up and cry!]

Lin Wan didn’t even need to watch the livestream to know that the audiences were shaming her again for showing off. But she wasn’t showing off. She was trying to support Li Zexuan in any way she could.

Everyone wondered why Li Zexuan allowed Lin Wan to destroy his moment like this. That precious guitar was like a deadly and unpleasant weapon in her hands.

“Use your pinky when you touch the bowstring. Use more force. Otherwise, the big bowl of rice you ate in the afternoon will be wasted…,” Li Zexuan guided her.

[Help! Xuanxuan is actually teaching Lin Wan how to play the guitar?]

[Aren’t they supposed to be on bad terms with each other?]

[Don’t tell me that our Xuan’s heart has softened just because Lin Wan spoke up for him?]

[Xuan, you don’t lack love.]

[Can’t you tell? It’s because Lin Wan’s playing is too bad, so he can’t listen to it anymore.]

[But Xuanxuan’s guitar is his life. How could he let Lin Wan touch it?]

Li Zekai was also confused. When he had touched his brother’s guitar, he had gotten an earful last time.

[This scene is so beautiful.]

[Lin Wan looks younger. She looks like a high school student.]

[I am so evil. I just imagine them as a couple.]

[Is Li Yanchen smiling?]

[That’s right, that’s right! Li Yanchen is actually smiling as if he is a proud parent looking at his children play.]

Li Zexin also noticed the change in his father’s expression. He really hadn’t seen his father smile like that for a long time after their mother’s death.

Li Zexuan taught his stepmother how to play the guitar, and the song instantly became a hot topic on the internet.

Wheatley’s family heard the music and came to watch.

Wheatley also had a special love for musical instruments. She was great at playing the piano, but it was a huge instrument and could not be lugged around. Otherwise, she would have played it and showed off in Li Zexuan’s livestream.

Seeing Lin Wan, who was at loggerheads with Li Zexuan yesterday, but now she let her stepson guide her to play guitar, made Nannan envious. But she realized that maybe they were pretending to be nice in front of the camera just like her and Wheatley.

She actually knew a bit of the guitar. Even though she didn’t play it well, she still played it boldly in the live broadcast room. The positive thing was that her eldest stepson, who had always been aloof, was guiding her.

However, Lin Wan seemed to be getting impatient with Li Zexuan’s scoldings. She put down her guitar. “My hands are sore.”

Li Zexuan was speechless. ‘Why do I even bother to teach this stupid woman?’

Li Zexuan lifted the guitar, put it in its bag and took it to his room.

When Lin Wan realized that there were more and more people watching her, she felt uncomfortable. She didn’t mind people watching her and shaming her on the livestream because a screen still separated her from them. But here, everyone surrounded her. Their presence made her uncomfortable. She gestured to Li Yanchen.

“Excuse me, my wife and I are going to the orchard to pick some loquats,” said Li Yanchen, understanding the situation. “Zexuan, Zexin, Zekai! Get the basket!”

“Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, do you want to join us?”, Lin Wan extended an invitation to Lin Tong and Shen Man. After all, she had eaten their lunch and might even have to ask them for dinner. As for the others, she treated them as if they did not exist.

Shen Man was so flattered and startled that she didn’t even go back home to fetch her tools. Instead, she grabbed Lin Guoguo’s hand and went to the orchard with the Li family of five.

Nannan’s feet drew circles on the ground awkwardly. “Wheatley, don’t we have to do some weeding? Let’s go. ”

Xu Xioaxioa and her family had lunch a little late, so they didn’t get to go to the Li family’s house to watch. But she felt at ease when she noticed that even Nannan was ignored like her.

Xiao Xiao’s family seemed to be completely immersed in their own world.

After lunch, Xiao Yi took out a set of test papers, Xiao Tianlin was studying the latest Magic tricks, and Xia Mo was sitting under the shade of a tree, reading a book. Compared to the other families who gathered to ride on the Li family’s popularity, Xiao Xiao’s family was in their own small bubble, enjoying their time together.

[As expected, a top student studies all the time]

[What book is Xia Mo reading? The cover picture seems to be of a snack.]

[Are you stupid? Of course, the dessert chef would read about baking!]

[Do you think Xia Mo knows how to make delicious desserts? At this time, whoever has dessert will definitely become the focus.]

[Not necessarily. The one who eats compressed biscuits is more popular than anyone else.]

...

[Hahaha, true.]

Xia Mo glanced at the live broadcast room. She seemed motivated. She was a dessert chef and had free time this afternoon. She could make desserts at her house! She had flour, yeast and eggs. She even had cans of milk!

Xia Mo went into the kitchen and started kneading the dough. After all, it took time for the dough to rise. Even though it was one in the afternoon, it might take till evening for the dessert to be ready. She decided to make a cake and share it with her neighbors.
