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

This Might Be the Chance To Clear Your Name

Lin Wan realized that the father and son were in cahoots and wanted her to make the fruit tea.

Yesterday, she had clearly told Li Zexuan not to tell anyone about the fruit tea. But he betrayed her.

Lin Wan slapped her thigh in frustration. She knew that these people would be insatiable once they found out about her skill. In her original world, after she developed a new dessert in her live streaming room, her fans would pester her to make it every time she started streaming. It was the same now.

She thought about how she had worked so hard in her original world and finally died after logging off. Now that she had transmigrated as a rich lady, she just wanted to be lazy and live in peace.

Lin Wan got up from the recliner. “I’m going out for a walk. ”

“Ms. Lin, I’ll go with you.” Li Zexuan saw that she didn’t look very angry. ‘What the hell is going on?’

“If you have a heat stroke, you should rest,” suggested Lin Wan with a smile. She tied her hair up in a ponytail.

“I am fine now!” Li Zexuan got up. He wanted to convince her to make the fruit tea. It would be embarrassing to beg her for it with his father around.

“I don’t need anyone to accompany me,” Lin Wan replied.

[What the hell? Xuanxuan wants to take a walk with Lin Wan.]

[What is happening? I thought Xuanxuan hated his stepmother.]

[Lin Wan said “no”.]

“I’m going out for a walk anyway. I’ll go my own way,” insisted Li Zexuan.

Lin Wan snorted and walked out of the courtyard.

“Go your way, then,” said Lin Wan. “Why are you following me?” She noticed that he followed a few steps behind her.

“I’m also taking this road, Ms. Lin. Since we’re on the same road, let’s walk together.” Li Zexuan didn’t bother with his acting anymore.

Lin Wan sighed. “The fruit tea was delicious, wasn’t it?”

“Yes.” Li Zexuan nodded.

“Didn’t you promise not to tell anyone about it?” Lin Wan chided him.

“I didn’t tell anyone!” protested Li Zexuan. “Dad asked me twice. I told him it tasted just alright.”

“Then why is he peeling the grapes?” asked Lin Wan. “He won’t even let me eat them.”

“Ms. Lin, don’t be stingy. You have such good skills, so you should show it off a little. Look, your public image… is not that good. This might be the chance to clear your name!” Li Zexuan tried to convince Lin Wan.

All the families were trying to make a good impression and gain a positive reputation in this live broadcast, except the Li family. Lin Wan didn’t want to be criticized all the time.

‘Where do these children learn these things?’ she wondered as she looked at Li Zexuan. He was advising her to clear her name. She didn’t spend time with those keyboard warriors online. They weren’t even a part of her life. So, she didn’t really mind what they thought about her. They could say whatever they wanted.

“I don’t really care about that,” said Lin Wan.

“Well, dad cares,” said Li Zexuan, bringing up his father as the final weapon. “He can’t bear to see them say such bad things about you. In the past few years, I have been the subject of negative comments and made the hot search so many times. He never once stepped forward to suppress those. But he did for you. What do you think that means?”

Lin Wan’s eyes were wide open. She hadn’t really thought about that. She knew that Li Yanchen had never stepped in to help his son with his public image. Even in the original book, he was described as a character who was cold and emotionless and apathetic towards his children and his new wife.

The had never mentioned that Li Yanchen was so deeply in love with the owner of the body she inhabited.

Seeing the shock on Lin Wan’s face, Li Zexuan knew that he had struck a nerve. “Do you know how much it costs to remove something trending in the hot search?” he continued. “At least a few thousand Yuans. Even that might not be enough.”

‘Is it that expensive? Has Li Yanchen burnt a few million just so her name could be removed from the hot search?’ Lin Wan was stunned.

“Imagine how many bags you could have bought with that money!” Li Zexuan knew Lin Wan’s love for branded bags.

She would want to kill herself if she bought even a Chanel in her original world. But the amount of money she had wasted here! ‘How many Hermes would that be worth?!’

Lin Wan knew what to do now. She was going to tell Li Yanchen not to spend money on removing her name from the hot search.

“Let’s go back. I will tell Li Yanchen not to waste his money on removing my name from the hot search list anymore,” said Lin Wan.

Li Zexuan was stunned. He had expected her to say that she would try to be good from now on, but no! ‘Why is she so thick-skinned?’

Lin Wan walked quickly. She wondered what negative things people said about her. She had to hurry otherwise Li Yanchen would throw another huge sum of money just so her image remained positive.

Li Zexuan followed her, trying to catch up.

[I’m back. I went out for a walk for five minutes.]

[It’s good that you’re back. If the camera doesn’t follow him, you won’t be able to see your Xuanxuan at all.]

In the courtyard, Li Yanchen was still peeling grapes. When he saw his son and Lin Wan return, he thought to himself that his son must have convinced her. He washed his hands. “Alright, what else do you need me to do?” he asked.

“Li Yanchen, you don’t have to remove my name from the hot search!” Lin Wan’s voice was louder than usual. “I don’t mind what people say about me.”

[Why is she yelling at Li Yanchen ? Why is she so ungrateful?]

[This woman is simply unreasonable! Li Yanchen, get a divorce!]

[Li Yanchen has never even helped Xuanxuan to remove his name from the hot search. Every time, Xuanxuan had to hold a press conference to clear his name.]

[I strongly request Lin Wan to quit the livestream]

“If you have so much money, donate it to the poor and underdeveloped areas!” Lin Wan felt that there was no need to waste so much money on internet trolls. Li Yanchen was a businessman with a net worth of over a hundred million dollars. ‘Didn’t he know that money should be spent where it is most needed?’

[he’s kind enough to help you, and you’re still angry?]

[She’s just feeling sad for the money wasted. How can she not be anxious when she loses so much money after being criticized?]

[If you’re distressed about the money, don’t get criticized, as simple as that.]

[That’s right. Look at other people who love each other. Then look at Lin Wan. Director, if Lin Wan leaves, I’m willing to sponsor the show with 100000 Yuan.]

Li Yanchen knew that there were cameras in the courtyard.

“Let’s talk inside,” he said.

[I can’t see it anymore. What’s the follow-up?]

[It’s so difficult for Li Yanchen. Why does he indulge Lin Wan so much?]

...

[Xuanxuan went in too. We’ll guard him.]

“Lin Wan.” Li Yanchen didn’t seem angry at her outburst. On the contrary, he looked a little hurt.

When he had announced that he was going to marry her, the two of them made it to the hot search list. There were rumors that Lin Wan loved his money and Li Yanchen was lecherous. They garnered so much negative attention that Lin Wan had wept. She had responded to the trolls trying to clear her name and had begged Li Yanchen to do something about it. She had uninstalled and disappeared from all social media.

Lin Wan wasn’t a strong person. When the world attacked her, she broke. Li Yanchen had promised her that he would remove all negative attention from the internet towards her before he went on a business trip.

The next time he saw negative comments directed towards her was on the livestream. He had removed her name from the hot search immediately, as promised. But Li Yanchen was confused now. The woman seemed to be so angry that he had used up so much of his money to remove her name from the hot search.

“The comments these past few days have been rather neutral, so I haven’t done anything about it.” Li Yanchen had sensed that she didn’t care for the trolls anymore.

“Oh, I am so sorry for yelling at you. I got carried away,” said Lin Wan. “It’s just that the internet is filled with trolls.” Her tone was gentler now after she realized she had overreacted.
