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

70 Director, Your Eyes Are Filled with Tears

When Li Zekai heard his father’s voice, he tried to finish “Two Tigers” as fast as possible.

Li Zexin sang along. Although he felt that his father’s singing was unbearable, this was the first time their family had been so happy.

[The Cubs have been led astray.]

[Why is Xuanxuan and the others singing an ugly song?]

[Is Li Zexin holding a wooden stick and dancing?]

[The little ones are all very simple-minded. With Li Yanchen and Lin Wan’s cooperation, they’ll grow up well.]

Li Yanchen’s eyes were fixed on Lin Wan as she sang. Even though she was standing under the shade of a tree, she was still dazzling.

Lin Wan did not know what was wrong with her. Why would she sing with Li Yanchen?

The Li family’s live broadcast room had only sung three songs, but its popularity far exceeded the other families.

Backstage, when the staff saw such a harmonious family, they wanted to hug each other and cry. God knows how many haters this family had attracted as soon as the program started broadcasting since day one.

“Director, your eyes are filled with tears.” The Operations Manager laughed.

“I’m too embarrassed to say it, but after this variety show started broadcasting, I couldn’t sleep a single day in peace. Every night, I was worried about the Li family’s disputes. I thought the sons would fight with their stepmother. On the one hand, they brought in a lot of audiences and views, but I was so worried this would end in a disaster,” said the Director.

The Assistant Director also sniffled. “I feel like the child I raised with my heart and soul has finally grown up. I knew it! Everyone in this family looks bad on the surface but they aren’t that bad.”

“Don’t be happy too early. There’s still a long way to go.” The Operations Manager touched the camera with his finger.

The hour-long talent show ended very quickly. Out of the five families, three made it to the top of the search rankings. Li Zexuan’s family took first place. Unlike before, no one scolded Lin Wan this time. On the contrary, everyone was leaving comments in support of Li Zexuan helping Lin Wan out. As for Li Yanchen, they asked him to stop singing.

At Chenxin’s headquarters, the marketing department sent a screenshot of the hot search to Assistant Qin immediately:

[Mother and son are of one heart; their sharpness can cut through gold.]

[Hot comment: Lin Wan and Li Yanchen are clearly a couple, but they sang as if Li Yanchen was the outsider.]

[Three is a crowd. Li Yanchen, why are you still squeezing in?]

[You guys are looking for trouble. Why do you want your father and son to turn against each other?]

[Are you joking? Lin Wan’s cover is the best I’ve ever heard. I’ll allow it.]

[Don’t accept Lin Wan’s innocence so soon, even though her voice and Xuanxuan’s guitar skills were indeed a good match.]

[Do you guys still remember Li Yanchen, who was on the list at the start of the show? Back then, no one believed that he would take part in it. Not only did he take part in it, but he also took the initiative to complete all the missions.]

[He loves Lin Wan so much. He admires and respects her.]

Tutu and Xu Xiaoxiao occupied the second most searched spot. Xu Xiaoxiao was not on the most searched spot because she was good at Huangmei Opera, but because, during her performance, Tutu rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue. The netizens made a meme out of it. There was a graceful and beautifully dressed Xu Xiaoxiao singing her heart out and there was Tutu, the complete opposite.

It was not easy for Xu Xiaoxiao to concentrate on her performance with her stepson’s interference.

The third most searched family was Anan’s family. With Song Jing’s hard work, An Yang had really turned into a beauty. Netizens urged Song Jing to leave her other work work and even suggested raising funds to provide her with an offline teaching venue.

Although Xiao Yi’s family hadn’t made the hot search list, the popularity of the live broadcast room had been very stable. Xia Mo’s freshly baked cheesecake was a success. As soon as it was out of the pot, it was gobbled up by Xiao Yiand Xiao Tianlin. Fortunately, the netizens had taken a screenshot. Otherwise, Xia Mo would not even have had a photo to commemorate the moment. No one knew that this was Xia Mo’s first time making a cheesecake. Her mind was filled with little tricks that Lin Wan had taught her.

At Wheatley’s house, Nannan had expected to be on the hot search. After she finished her dance sequence with Wheatley and checked the comments, disappointment filled her eyes. Nannan roughly understood that everything in their family was within the expectations of the netizens. There was no surprise or shock. And therefore, they were not very interesting anymore.

…

No matter how Assistant Qin looked at it, he felt that the topic of the Li family was a little strange. It seemed like everyone was commenting on Lin Wan and Li Zexuan’s performance.

He decided to give Li Yanchen a call at night to confirm about the situation and see if there was a need for any PR interventions. After all, this topic did not seem very healthy.

Half an hour later, all the mothers’ talents were displayed on the screen.

Li Zexin moved the camera away.

Li Zexuan put away his guitar. “Dad, I seem to have an internal injury in my ears now. How in the world did you mess up “Two Tigers”?”

Li Zekai leaned on his father. “Daddy, even I know this song. You sang it wrong. The lyrics are all wrong.”

After Li Zexin confirmed that the live broadcast room couldn’t hear their conversation, he also joined in the discussion.”Dad, did you ever take any music classes when you were young?”

“Ms. Lin, are you a singer?” While Li Zexin mocked Li Yanchen, Li Zexuan praised Lin Wan.”Our music teacher can’t even sing as well as you.”

Lin Wan flicked her bangs. “It’s not easy to sing like Mr. Li. If it was an exam, he might have scored zero.”

Li Yanchen’s brows furrowed slightly. “If I didn’t sing badly, nobody would notice how good you all are.”

“Wow. Such generosity. I will have to thank you profusely,” said Li Zexuan sarcastically.

[Director, we’re really going to exit the stage. Please turn the camera to Xuanxuan’s face.]

[The camera can move at will?]

The Li family’s popularity was at its peak. When the Festival group saw that the Li family members had disappeared from the camera, they all broke out in cold sweat. In the end, the Director decided to personally come forward and ask the Li family not to move the camera anymore.

“Thank you,” said Li Yanchen to Lin Wan.

Her eyes widened in surprise. ‘Li Yanchen is thanking me?’

When the children heard their father, they turned to Lin Wan and unanimously thanked her too.

Lin Wan was at a loss for words. If they had not prepared everything and pulled her onto the stage, she would not have sung at all. There was no need for them to thank her. They had done all the work.

“There are so many mosquitoes here. Let’s go home.” Lin Wan folded the cardboard box. She did not want to build any relationship with her husband and three stepsons in this world.

“Ms. Lin, we are sincerely thanking you. How can you be so impatient?” asked Li Zexin. “You’re bearing a grudge now, aren’t you?”

Lin Wan turned around. “I’m hungry. Let’s go home and cook.”

Li Yanchen was taken aback. They were all thanking her with him. He wondered if his sons’ outlook toward Lin Wan had changed, after all.
