BXBX NOVEL Chapter 16
Su Wei looked at his son crying and making a scene. He picked the boy up. “Su Yusheng, if you continue to make a scene, we’ll quit and go back home.”
“I want to go home! I want grandma! I will tell grandma that this bad woman doesn’t give Tutu any food.” Tutu couldn’t wait to go back. He had wanted to go back since he had arrived here last night. There was no TV, no tablet, and no good food.
Su Wei saw that his son had made friends here and was having a fun time. He had made plans to play with his friends. Su Wei had thought that his son would have liked to stay here longer.
“Tutu, you have to finish what you started. You promised me that you would participate in the show for seven days. A man must keep his word.” Su Wei was afraid that his son would really give up on this.
“Tutu is not a man. Tutu is a child. I want to go home. I miss grandma.” The boy rolled on the ground.
Tutu didn’t listen no matter what the two did. In the end, they just stood aside and let the boy cry. A while later, Tutu stopped crying maybe because he thought it wasn’t really making a difference.
Xu Xiaoxiao had been criticized by thousands of people before. After seeing Tutu’s behavior, Xu Xioaxiao gained hundreds of new fans who sympathized with her. Everyone agreed that her situation was unfair and pitiful.
There were some fans who had faith that this family would unite together, but when they saw Tutu constantly rejecting and creating conflicts, they drifted away. Meanwhile, the number of fans for Wheatley’s family steadily increased.
In the afternoon, Nannan went to the vegetable field with Wheatley to do some weeding.
Today, with the ice sleeves, straw hat and sunblock, Nannan also had Wheatley sit under a big tree with enough shade. Every few minutes, she would pass a glass of water to the child.
[Wheatley’s family always does everything in threes.]
[But I have to complain about why they always drag the child out to the sun.]
[Who says that a stepmother cannot be as good as a biological mother? Nannan and Wheatley get along so well.]
[Among the three sets of remarried families, only Wheatley’s family is worth watching.]
[Exactly. Xu Xiaoxiao and Lin Wan’s houses are in chaos.]
[Where’s Xiao Xiao’s house? Is it because they are too quiet and peaceful? I feel like they were only in a few shots.]
[Maybe. There’s nothing to talk about there.]
[This is Wheatley’s live stream. Can you not cue other families in?]
[I’m going to sleep. See you later, sisters.]
After lunch, there were fewer comments in the livestream broadcast room.
Wheatley didn’t understand Nannan. ‘Why is there a need to show off in the fields at noon?’
Nannan had said this was the best way to win some popularity. The variety show would last only seven days. Although their livestream was lively, the increase in the number of fans was slow.
Wheatley’s dream was to be like Li Zexuan. She wanted to become a top celebrity at the age of seventeen. Therefore, she followed Nannan’s plan to attract attention even under the scorching sun.
After squatting in the field for an hour, Wheatley couldn’t take it anymore. Even though she was wearing a sun hat, she still felt like the top of her head was burning.
“Dad, I don’t feel well. My head is spinning.” The girl got up.
Mike looked at the sweaty child. Her face was red. He carried her home. There were no surveillance cameras in the bedroom.
Nannan also felt hot and sweaty. Her throat was dry. With Michael around, she wanted to show that she cared about Wheatley. She used the well water to wet a towel and gently wiped Wheatley’s arms and neck. Wetley felt much cooler after that.
“Let’s take a break. The Festival Group said that we’re free to do anything before five. We can rest or do something meaningful.” After experiencing the hot weather, Nannan decided not to go out in the afternoon again.
Compared to the vegetable fields, the orchard was much cooler. The dense leaves of the trees blocked the sun.
Even so, the children were tired after playing their games and went home quietly after a while.
Li Yanchen and Lin Tong climbed down from the tree. When the two of them parted at the intersection, Lin Tong called out, “If President Li and Mrs. Li don’t mind, you can come to our house for dinner tonight.”
Li Yanchen was a little hesitant. When he had peeked down from the tree, he had seen Lin Wan trying to hide her face with a leaf as Shen Man tried to talk to her. Li Yanchen realized that she was uncomfortable and was trying to ignore her. ‘Will she be willing to go?’ He wondered.
“Thank you! We will be there,” said Lin Wan, to Li Yanchen ‘s utter surprise.
“Bye Lin Wan. See you tonight,” Shen Man said with a smile.
When Lin Yanchen and Lin Wan got home, they saw that the three kids were already asleep. They had gotten up at five in the morning, so it was obvious that they were tired.
Even though the fans wanted to see Li Zexuan sleeping, this was too private a moment to broadcast without asking for permission. So, the staff didn’t take the camera to his house.They placed the cameras in the courtyard and prepared to film Li Yanchen and Lin Wan. With the three children out of the equation, Li Yanchen and Lin Wan’s relationship was quite interesting.
However, nothing interesting happened. When they got home, Lin Wan and Li Yanchen went about their own way and ignored each other.
...
Yun City, on the top floor of Taian building, the employees opened the Li family’s live broadcast room during their break.
In a company with a few hundred employees, it would be unrealistic to say that the employees didn’t admire Li Yanchen. Their boss was rich, handsome, and successful. It was inevitable for people to like and respect him.
Ever since they found out that Li Yanchen had appeared in the livestream room this morning, four employees in the company had taken two days sick leave.
Even though Assistant Qin did not have high hopes for Li Yanchen and Lin Wan’s relationship, he felt that it would be fine as long as Lin Wan took care of the family. Lin Wan had defended Li Zexuan and supported him during the guitar incident. She hadn’t appeared in the hot search for negative reasons this time.
His opinion of Lin Wan had changed a little, since she had helped Li Zexuan out.
Secretary Han came looking for him to gossip. He leaned back on the sofa. “Boss, are you serious?”
“Who knows?”
“Aren’t you the Butler? How could you not know?”
“I can’t control the progress of their relationship. Han Jiahe, you’re such a busybody.” Assistant Qin took a sip of hot coffee.
“After that incident, I haven’t seen Mr. Li ever happy or comfortable. I thought he didn’t even know how to smile anymore. But today, he actually laughed during the livestream! It would be great if Mr. Li can move on.” Even though Secretary Han had only arrived at the office after the incident with Li Yanchen and his wife. He had heard about her accident.
“I hope so too. If he isn’t at peace, his children won’t be at peace, too. Mr. Li has suffered from depression all these years. His children must have felt it too. He’s about to become an emotionless machine.” Assistant Qin took a deep breath. “But the show is only for seven days. Can Madam really change him in that short time?”
“Isn’t this only the first episode? There are still a total of six episodes left. Do you really think the Boss would participate in all six episodes?” Secretary Han gasped. “If it was me, I would be exhausted after a few days!”
