I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law - Chapter 105

105 Within three days, I’ll Get the Richest Man in Hong Kong to Change His Surname.

The conversation changed too quickly.

Min Hanrong smiled. “The Wu family has always kept a low profile outside.”

Han Qianye said bluntly, “Since you’re so low-key, let’s keep it low-key. In three days, the richest man in Hong Kong will change his surname. What do you think of this suggestion?”

Min Hanrong: “?”

!!
Actually, Han Qianye did not like to show off her family background. Her original intention of going on the in-law variety show was only to facilitate Li Xiwu and her son’s successful divorce. No matter how Min Hanrong’s group showed off their family background in the variety show, she was not in the mood to compare.

This was the first time she had said such impolite words in front of Min Hanrong today. To others, it might sound ridiculous. But she was the only one who knew how easy it was. She knew too well what kind of power the Pei family had. Besides, her husband was only temporarily retired, not dead!

When Min Hanrong heard this, she was first stunned, then she laughed. “Qianye, you’re quite good at joking.”

Han Qianye said, “Joking? How can you tell that I’m joking?”

The smile on Min Hanrong’s lips froze. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, “Do you know how long my lover has been the richest man in Xiangjiang?” Without needing Han Qianye to ask, Min Hanrong answered her own question. “My lover has been the richest man in Xiangjiang for twelve years.”

Meaning, do you know what the concept of twelve years means? It is an unimaginable concept!

When she got married more than twenty years ago, the Internet said that she was married to a rich man in Hong Kong. It was true. After a few years, her husband, Wu Xian, became the richest man in Hong Kong from a rich man in Hong Kong.

He took that title for twelve years, never wavering. This position was not only because of the amount of money he had. It was because he had accumulated countless connections in the first half of his life, as well as having connections in both the officials and the underworld, that he could sit in this position in Hong Kong.

Now, Han Qianye wanted the richest man in Hong Kong to change to someone else?

Was there something wrong with Han Qianye’s brain? Otherwise, why would she say such stupid words?

Han Qianye yawned in boredom. “It’s fine as long as you know that your husband has been the richest man in Xiangjiang for many years. There’s no need to specially tell me. Anyway, no one would know him after the richest man changed.”

Min Hanrong reminded her calmly, “Han Qianye, you’re already so old. Stop bragging.”

Han Qianye was even calmer than Min Hanrong. “You’re right. We’re already at this age, so we have to care about our dignity.”

At first glance, it sounded like she had admitted defeat. But why did Min Hanrong sound like she was implying something about her? No, it was connoting her!

“Mom!” Just then, Li Xiwu walked in. The way she called out “Mom” was neither too loud nor too soft, enough to interrupt Min Hanrong and Han Qianye’s conversation.

Han Qianye and Min Hanrong looked at the same time.

At this moment, Han Qianye looked much calmer. On the other hand, Min Hanrong did not look too good because she was sure that Han Qianye’s last sentence was connoting her. However, the live broadcast was about to start. She had to hurry upstairs to touch up her makeup, so she said with a smile, “I’ll go touch up my makeup. We’ll continue chatting later.”

Han Qianye did not reply. When Min Hanrong passed by Li Xiwu, Li Xiwu nodded and smiled. After Min Hanrong went upstairs, Li Xiwu walked to Han Qianye’s side and asked, “Where’s Shenshen?”

When Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu, her expression subconsciously softened. “Xiang Lan and Zhenzhen are looking after her outside the inn. By the way, where did you go?”

Li Xiwu said truthfully, “I went to the Pei Corporation.”

Han Qianye looked at Li Xiwu’s expression and asked tentatively, “…You didn’t quarrel, did you?”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips and shook her head.

Han Qianye felt uneasy and casually found a topic. “I took the Zhengshan seed from my friend. Other than drinking flower tea, I usually like to drink this. Do you want a cup? I’ll make it for you.” Before Li Xiwu could respond, Han Qianye said as if she was promoting, “Black tea nourishes the stomach and looks. Drinking it will only benefit you. There’s no harm.”

Li Xiwu said, “I’ll brew it myself later. Let’s talk outside.”

Han Qianye could guess what they were talking about. She responded, “Okay.”

The two of them walked side by side outside the inn. Not far away, Xu Muzhen was teasing Shenshen. Xiang Lan stood at the side and smiled gently.

Li Xiwu looked away and slowed down. She took a deep breath and asked, “You know everything?”

“Min Hanrong used a sarcastic tone to imply to me the moment she arrived. It’s difficult not to know.” At this point, Han Qianye was angry.

Li Xiwu asked calmly, “What do you think about this?”

Han Qianye said, “Stand and watch, or sit and watch.”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “At the moment, this matter is spreading very quickly online, and the comments are not good. Try not to look at it, lest it affect your mood.”

Han Qianye snorted. “How bad can those comments be? Don’t underestimate my ability to withstand pressure.” As she spoke, Han Qianye took out her phone in front of Li Xiwu and opened Weibo. She took a look and saw that the trending topic was gone.

Han Qianye exited Weibo and put her phone back into her pocket. “Look, the netizens are already tired of scolding. Who cares about them?”

Li Xiwu suppressed a smile.

Han Qianye turned around. “Although I can’t control Jingzhou, he’s never made me worry once. There’s a reason for everything he does. He never messes around easily.” At this point, Han Qianye paused for a moment before saying meaningfully, “The Pei family has their own rules. You’ll understand in the future.”

There was no need for later. Li Xiwu now understood the meaning of this sentence. With Pei Jingzhou’s strength, it was too easy to deal with a person. There was no need for him to do it himself. Even if he really did take action personally, this matter would not cause any waves on the Internet.

It was obviously not an accident that it would blow up this time. She inhaled. The hand holding the phone in her pocket was slowly tightening. She hoped everything went well from here.

–

Xiang Lan did not pay much attention to what was happening on the Internet, but she heard Xu Muzhen mention a heated discussion on the Internet. However, Xiang Lan was not a gossipy person, so she was not very interested. She only reminded Xu Muzhen, “Pretend you don’t know. Get along as you should. Let’s just do our own thing. Don’t hit her when she’s down.”

As Xu Muzhen teased Shenshen in the pram, she sighed. “It’s not easy to guess the controversy online. After all, the police haven’t announced the true situation of the car accident. But to be honest, although Sister Li’s husband looked cold, I could still greet him with a smile. As for Chi Xu, I keep feeling that he’s not as easy to get along with as he looks. I don’t know if it’s my imagination.”

Xiang Lan smiled faintly. “Perhaps it’s not an illusion, but an intuition?”
