I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law - Chapter 52

52 Han Qianye Wants to Be a Grandma

Lin Yourong, who was watching the live broadcast, scolded the screen, “Useless!”

At this moment, the useless Han Qianye walked to Li Xiwu’s side. “Why don’t Xiwu and I stay at the inn to prepare lunch for everyone?”

This arrangement was also very appropriate.

Min Hanrong said considerately, “Then it’s settled. Jingjing and I will go out. Qianye and Xiwu can stay in the inn.”

!!
Xie Wen chimed in at the right moment. “I’ll stay too.”

Everyone knew that Xie Wen had brought her daughter here. The weather outside was dry and cold, so it was not suitable to take the child out for a stroll. One of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had to stay at the inn, so everyone understood very well.

After Group One, Group Two, and Group Three’s Zheng Yuehua left, only Li Xiwu, Han Qianye, and Xie Wen were left in the inn.

Everything had to be prepared in advance, especially for today’s lunch. Li Xiwu had nothing else to do, so she went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes in advance. That way, when it was time to cook, time would not be especially rushed.

Han Qianye wanted to go into the kitchen to help. However, looking at Li Xiwu’s smooth cooking movements, Han Qianye felt that she could only be of no help.

Li Xiwu, who was cutting the vegetables, could roughly tell what Han Qianye was thinking. “I can handle the cooking alone. If you’re bored, go and tease Xie Wen’s baby. The baby is very cute.”

Han Qianye hesitated. She didn’t like children. They were too noisy and annoying. She had never taken care of her own two sons and one daughter. It was mainly because the Pei family was rich. Each child had a nanny to take care of them. After she gave birth, she only cared about looking beautiful.

However, since Li Xiwu had said so, Han Qianye still had to go even if she didn’t want to. “Then I’ll go upstairs and take a look.”

Li Xiwu nodded and continued to cut the vegetables. When there were no missions, the live broadcast was very warm. It was all daily trivialities.

Li Xiwu was halfway through cutting the vegetables when the phone page on the kitchen counter lit up.

Someone called her.

The director had said that work calls should be answered under camera as much as possible. Don’t leave the live camera for too long before avoiding answering the phone when it’s really more important work. Li Xiwu wiped her hands on her apron and picked it up. It wasn’t a work call, but…

She picked up the call.

Pei You’an’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line. “Sister-in-law! Save me! A life is at stake!”

Li Xiwu’s expression instantly turned serious. She lowered her voice. “What’s wrong?”

Pei You’an said, “The teacher caught me in a puppy love relationship! I have to call my parents!”

Li Xiwu: “…”

Although Li Xiwu did not have much contact with Pei Jingzhou’s two siblings, she had a good relationship with Pei You’an. Pei You’an was also the only person in the entire Pei family who recognized her as his sister-in-law.

Pei You’an said helplessly, “Sister-in-law, I’m screwed this time…”

Li Xiwu thought that Pei You’an had fallen for that girl, so she tried her best to lower her voice. “Does your brother know?”

Pei You’an said, “The teacher wanted me to call my parents. I begged her for a long time before she agreed to let me call my parents myself.”

Li Xiwu understood what Pei You’an meant. “You want me to come?”

Pei You’an thought that the advantage of talking to his sister-in-law was that she would understand what he meant without directly pointing it out. If he talked to Pei Jiao, he would suspect that both parties’ IQ were possessed by huskies.

Li Xiwu thought for a few seconds before telling Pei You’an, “You’an, I’m recording a variety show.”

Pei You’an asked, “Is it that in-law variety show that you went to film with my mother?”

Li Xiwu said, “Yes.”

Mother-in-Law Joy has been very popular recently. Many people knew about it, and Pei You’an was no exception.

Pei You’an said pitifully, “The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Sister-in-law, can you come to my school at two in the afternoon on behalf of my mother? The teacher said that if I didn’t call my parents over, she would call them herself. If my brother and parents find out, I’ll really be dead.”

Li Xiwu did not agree immediately. It was not a small matter for high school students to fall in love at a young age. He needed to be taught well.

Pei You’an must have wanted her to go to school for a formality so this matter would be over. This way, Father Pei and Pei Jingzhou would not know, and Han Qianye would not know because Pei You’an believed that she would not say anything.

“Sister-in-law. You can’t leave me alone.”

“Actually, I can explain this matter of being caught in a puppy love relationship, but Teacher doesn’t believe me. If I said that I was wronged, would you believe me, Sister-in-law? Besides, I’m really wronged. I’m screwed up…”

So that was what he meant by screwed. She had misunderstood.

Pei You’an probably did not hear Li Xiwu’s voice and was a little anxious. He complained a few times.

Li Xiwu said, “There’s a mission in the afternoon for the variety show. I’ll come over after lunch. Is it okay at twelve?”

“That’s great, that’s great!” Pei You’an said sincerely, “Sister-in-law, I swear I’ll take care of you in your old age.”

Li Xiwu was speechless. There was no need to say so early.

–

Xie Wen’s daughter had just woken up. Little Shenshen slept very contentedly. When she woke up, she was not noisy. She even made a babbling sound and played by herself.

Xie Wen was mixing milk powder for her daughter with familiarity.

Han Qianye stood at the side and watched. From time to time, she asked, “Is the little darling noisy at night?”

Xie Wen replied to Han Qianye as she mixed milk powder, “It’s fine. It’s not very noisy.”

Han Qianye nodded. Xie Wen took the milk powder and fed it to her daughter. At this moment, the camera was far away. Little Shenshen would not appear on screen, but it did not affect the perception of the live broadcast.

Han Qianye followed. When she looked at the little pink ball in Xie Wen’s arms, she liked it a little. Xie Wen was good-looking, and her husband was probably not bad-looking either. He seemed to be an actor. No wonder this little pink ball was so beautiful.

If Li Xiwu and Jingzhou had a child, it would probably look even better, right? Needless to say, it would definitely look good! No, no. Han Qianye, what are you thinking! You should hope that the two of them get a divorce quickly, not for them to have a baby. However, after these thoughts kept appearing in her mind, Han Qianye fell silent. She stayed here quietly for a while. The quiet child looked quite cute and she wanted to touch, hug, and kiss her.

Looking at Xie Wen taking care of her daughter so carefully, Han Qianye blurted out, “It’s quite hard for you to take care of the child alone.”

Xie Wen was stunned for two seconds before saying quickly, “Not alone. My mother-in-law helped me take care of her too.”

Han Qianye did not react in time, she continued, “You were the one who packed all the baby supplies when you went out. You were also the one who changed her diapers. Isn’t this hard?”

Xie Wen looked clearly nervous. “No, Auntie Han. My mother-in-law is also taking care of Shenshen for me.”

The atmosphere froze for a few seconds. Han Qianye finally realized that she had said something she shouldn’t have. She covered her mouth. Then she realized that it was too late to cover her mouth. She had said everything she shouldn’t have.
