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

184 Li Xiwu Panicked

It wasn’t particularly long. But it was a particularly formal response. There were six accompanying photos below, but every one of them was stacked. There were at least twenty photos separately. They were all bits and pieces left behind by the two of them taking videos in the small courtyard over the past year. They were very precious.

Although none of them had a frontal picture of Li Xiwu. Most of them were backs and side profiles. But in fact, just by looking at the side of her face, it was obvious that it was Li Xiwu’s outline.

[I thought it was another scammer. He made it sound so convincing until I clicked on the picture…]

[I admit that I barked a little louder with the dog this time. I’m sorry, Mother Dragon. I’m sorry, Li Xiwu.]

!!

[Get this Weibo topic to trend. I can’t let everyone scold Li Xiwu anymore. My heart hurts.]

[This is a true refutation!]

[I was wondering why an unrelated video appeared in Mother Dragon’s account for no reason. In my heart, Mother Dragon is a person who cooks so meticulously. It’s impossible for her to casually post a video and not say anything to pretend that it’s a rumor.]

[It’s clearly a diversion.]

[Li Xiwu has really been criticized too badly this time. I feel like someone is targeting her.]

[If Mother Dragon stops updating in the future, everyone here will not be able to escape responsibility.]

[Mother Dragon hasn’t updated a video for a long time. I’m so flustered.]

Rather than saying that Han Qianye had exposed her identity as Mother Dragon, it was more like Qiao Qiao had written a small essay in the middle of the night, confirming that Li Xiwu was the real Mother Dragon.

And Li Xiwu quickly accepted this fact. It wasn’t the only way to calm public opinion, but it was definitely the most effective and fastest way.

Now, the trending topic on Weibo was #MotherDragonLiXiwu.

The public opinion had also completely reversed. There were also some netizens who were actively speaking about the hacking:

[When will the officials come out to explain? The official protected account has actually been hacked. Aren’t you going to come out and give an explanation?]

[Could it be a hacker? Is a hacker really that powerful?]

[I just want to know if Mother Dragon’s account has been found. Can we still see Mother Dragon update videos in the future?]

[Although your name is Li Xiwu, I still have to call you Mom. Allow me to urge you to update a little, my mother~]

Some netizens said:

[I don’t have to wait for Brother-in-law to take off his mask anymore. It’s finally confirmed!]

[Last time, her brother-in-law was an accident. I feel that Brainless is also an accident this time. She probably doesn’t even know that her daughter-in-law is an internet celebrity.]

[Haha, for some reason, I really want to see Brainless’s dumbfounded expression when she finds out the truth.]

[I have to say that Li Xiwu is really low-key. She has 16 million fans in the short video, and she’s the most influential Internet celebrity in the short video. She actually didn’t show off on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show!]

[Mother Dragon has long said that someone filmed the video. She didn’t complete it alone. So she’s also a big sister.]

She exited the comments section. She exited Weibo.

Li Xiwu composed a WeChat message and sent it to Qiao Qiao: [Qiao’er, you’ve worked hard.]

After sending the WeChat message, she came out of the bathroom.

Pei Jingzhou had already woken up. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa at the end of the bed, looking at something with an ultra-thin tablet in his hand. When he heard the voice, he looked up at her and said gently, “Honey, come here.”

The way he called her was intimate and affectionate. Li Xiwu was silent for a few seconds before walking over and sitting down beside Pei Jingzhou.

Pei Jingzhou handed her the tablet in his hand. “I’ve already found out about the hack. Take a look first.”

After experiencing Pei Jingzhou’s efficiency and speed countless times, Li Xiwu was not surprised that he was also very fast this time. She took the tablet and studied it.

Pei Jingzhou’s voice came from beside her. “The ability of a high-level technician is not considered a hacker, but he has his own special methods. His IP address is also in the capital. We’re still tracking him.”

After Li Xiwu finished watching, she was calm and composed. “The address of the video is in Country T, but she’s in the capital. That means the video was taken in the past. Could it be to guide something?”

Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways and looked at her seriously. “What do you think it’s guiding?”

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “I don’t know.”

Only Li Xiwu knew if she didn’t know or didn’t want to talk to Pei Jingzhou about this topic.

Buzz.

A WeChat notification sounded. It was a WeChat message from Qiao Qiao.

Li Xiwu clicked on the voice message and put it to her ear. Qiao Qiao’s voice came from the receiver. [I’m not working hard. My life is hard.]

Although the voice came from the receiver, the bedroom was quiet. She and Pei Jingzhou were close, so Pei Jingzhou could hear Qiao Qiao’s voice.

Li Xiwu was about to type a reply when Qiao Qiao sent another voice message. She thought Qiao Qiao was talking about herself.

She opened it and heard: [I heard your throat go hoarse when you answered the phone just now. It’s just as you said. Boss Pei is very impressive. Quickly recuperate. Don’t be too tired during your recuperation. Restrain yourself a little. Also, don’t worry about me. It’s really fine.]

Li Xiwu: “…”

She silently took down her phone. She glanced sideways and saw Pei Jingzhou’s deep eyes looking at her.

Li Xiwu’s ears heated up. Actually, after fooling around yesterday afternoon, Pei Jingzhou was very humane at night. A large part of the reason why her voice was hoarse was because she had just woken up.

Qiao Qiao usually teased her like this. But today, Pei Jingzhou happened to be beside her. She was about to get up silently when Pei Jingzhou’s smiling voice sounded. “You said I’m very impressive?”

Li Xiwu stiffened in her seat. She recalled the day she misunderstood Pei Jingzhou and Xue Jinzhu at the hotel. When she told Qiao Qiao on the phone that she wanted a divorce, she did say that Pei Jingzhou was very impressive.

Pei Jingzhou pulled her back to sit down and wrapped his arm around her waist. “Why don’t you say this to me again?”

Li Xiwu drew a breath. Then, she slowly glanced sideways and said calmly, “Fourth Brother, that was a joke I said to Qiao Qiao.”

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “A joke?”

Li Xiwu said, “Yeah.”

Pei Jingzhou said slowly, “So you’re acting most of the time?”

Li Xiwu: “…”

...

This question was a hot potato in itself. If she dared to say that she was acting, how could Pei Jingzhou let her off when she recovered? If she said no, what she said just now was too much of a slap in the face.

But compared to slapping her face, she was more afraid of her back aching from the torment. Forget it. There were certain benefits to giving in appropriately. One would suffer if one was stubborn.

Pei Jingzhou leaned over. “Is it difficult to answer?”

Li Xiwu took a deep breath. “Fourth Brother…”

Pei Jingzhou: “Yeah?”

Li Xiwu closed her eyes hard. “Fourth Brother, you’re very impressive.”

Pei Jingzhou was shameless. “How impressive?”

Li Xiwu’s almond-shaped eyes widened slightly as she gritted her molars. “Very! Impressive!”
