The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them - Chapter 133
133 We Can Also Find A Father At The Last Minute
In August, Lan Village became lively again.
At the village entrance, the Festival Group hung a red welcome banner.
At the Royal Water Bay, the three children got up before dawn. They were looking forward to spending time with their father again.
Li Yanchen drove them all to the Lan Village. His small car couldn’t fit the enormous suitcases, so he had Assistant Qin send over the company car
!!
Lin Wan was still carrying the small black bag from the first episode. The only difference was that there was no dried sausages and compressed biscuits in the bag this time. There were only pens and a diary.
Lin Wan wanted to go up and assist with the packing of their luggage, but her second stepson stopped her. “There are four men in our family, Ms. Lin. We are not just for show. It is shameful to let a woman do all the hard work when we are here.”
Lin Wan was speechless. She stood aside happily. “Alright.”
At the entrance of Lan Village, the staff stood in two rows.
“This episode will definitely be more popular than the first. The overall viewer ratings for the radio station this year was pretty low. It’s a good thing we have this program.”
“That’s right. This episode is going to be even more interesting. The broadcast will start in the afternoon. I didn’t even sleep last night because I wanted to see how mysterious Lin Wan would unveil her talent.”
“Assistant Director, are you serious? It’s obvious that the title is too old-fashioned. I think we need to write a detailed business plan for Lin Wan. We’ll reveal it on the third day of the livestream.”
“Doesn’t that mean I’ll have to work overtime again for the next few days?”
“When do we not work overtime? We can only rest at midnight.”
“There will be Ji Hanzhi too. Originally, it was decided that the scandal between her and Li Yanchen would be unearthed?”
“It’s just a rumor. Li Yanchen has never admitted having been in a relationship with Ji Hanzhi. She was also very vague when interviewed. The netizens just blew it out of proportion.”
“That means that the audience is buying it! They will want to watch Li Yanchen and Ji Hanzhi!”
“All of you here are witnesses to Li Yanchen and Lin Wan’s relationship. It’s best if the Festival Group doesn’t make an issue out of the scandal. Let the audience guess for themselves.”
The staff members were busy discussing.
At Chongzhou airport, Ji Hanzhi and her two daughters boarded the plane. She was dressed in a black spaghetti strap dress that exposed a bit of her waist. She was in eight-centimeter-high heels. Her figure did not look like she had given birth to two children at all. She was going to fly to Yun City first and then head to Lan Village.
She knew the reason why the Festival Group had invited her. The scandal between her and Li Yanchen would increase the show’s viewer ratings.
“Mom, the sky is so beautiful today. Look, we’re in the clouds.” The younger daughter, Ji Shiyan, pressed her chubby little hand on the glass.
“Mom, is there cotton candy at the place we are going to?” The eldest daughter, Ji Shijie, raised her chin.
“I don’t think there are cotton candies in Lan Village.” Ji Hanzhi’s thin lips pursed together as she explained to her daughters. “Didn’t you see brother Jiejie last time? At Lan Village, we have to rely on our own labor. Do you two know what to do?”
The five-year-old children laid on Ji Hanzhi’s legs. “Mom, I know. We’ll be good. We won’t be naughty like Tutu. We want to visit Jiejie and his brothers. They are good.”
“Mom, Jiejie and his brothers were also naughty in the beginning, but they became good when their father arrived. Willour daddy not come to the show?” Ji Shijie lowered her eyes.
Ji Hanzhi didn’t know why her daughter still expected such things. She had explained to them that they were surprise guests in the show and their father wasn’t invited.
“Tuan Tuan, Mom told us before that Papa isn’t invited. If we make trouble, we will be chased away by the Festival Group. We won’t get any money.” Ji Shiyan looked at Ji Shijie.
“But I miss my father. Doesn’t every program have a father figure? Why do I not have a father?” said Ji Shijie.
She was clearly in high spirits before they set off. Ji Hanzhi didn’t understand why her eldest daughter was acting like this now.
“Mama, tell Tuan Tuan about it again.” Ji Shiyan tugged at her mother’s clothes.
“Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, you do have a father. Otherwise, how would you have come into this world? It’s just that mom and dad had their differences and went their separate ways. Mom might not love dad and dad might not love mom, but we both love you very much. Dad always comes to Chongzhou to see you when he’s free, right?” Ji Hanzhi explained patiently.
“Mom, Jiejie doesn’t have a mother. They call that Auntie Ms. Lin. Maybe we can also find a father at the last minute?” Everyone has a daddy. I want a daddy too.” Before Ji Shijie boarded the plane, she was still watching the recording of the previous episode. The more she watched, the more she missed her father.
Ji Hanzhi had already spoken to her daughters. The program was about to start broadcasting, so why was the elder daughter making a scene now?
“How can you find a father at the last minute? Everyone only has one father. Our father’s name is Fu Haiyu, but mom can find an uncle at the last minute.” Ji Shiyan had an idea.
Her daughters had only turned five last month and yet they knew so much about such things. “Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, isn’t Mama already doing good by taking you to the show?”
“Yes, Mama. I love you.”
“I love mommy the most.”
“That’s good. Besides, there are so many uncles in the Festival Group. If you want to play with them, just tell me.” Ji Hanzhi really wanted to cue Li Yanchen right away but doing so would make her intentions too obvious.
“Mom, I think brother Jiejie is very good, but I don’t like Uncle Li. He’s too cold in the show,” Yuan Yuan suddenly brought up Li Yanchen.
The girl looked angry. “Why do you think so?” asked Ji Hanzhi.
“He doesn’t even give a damn about the fight between brothers Xuanxuan and Xinxin, and he doesn’t even compliment brother Xuanxuan on his excellent guitar playing. Even though Uncle Lin Tong was only there for a short while, I enjoyed watching him and I think his food is excellent. And Uncle Michael is fine, too, but I actually want to be friends with Wheatley the most since her clothes are so lovely,” said Ji Shiyan eagerly.
This was the first time Ji Hanzhi had heard her daughter say such things. She realized that she had underestimated her daughter. She felt that they were still little, but they had already grown up so much and had their own opinions.
“Yuanyuan, I also think that Uncle Lin Tong is the best, followed by Uncle Michael, then Uncle Xiao, and Uncle Su. Uncle Li is the last. I think he is the worst,” Ji Shijie chimed in.
‘Was Li Yanchen that bad in their eyes?’ Ji Hanzhi felt that her plan had already met with an obstacle before it even started. She took in a deep breath and realized she hadn’t thought things through properly. She needed to change her daughters’ opinions about Li Yanchen first.
