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

146 Lin Wan, I Know You

One by one, Li Zexuan and his two younger brothers left the house and entered the courtyard. Li Yanchen followed suit and emerged from his room.

The Li family appeared on camera.

[Is this the Xuanxuan family?]

[Parent-Child Outfit?]

[All pink clothes!]

[Our Xuanxuan loves pink, but he said that his brothers don’t like it at all.]

[How can Lin Wan be so beautiful? Oh my God! Is that really her?]

[This family can directly form a group. It’s too eye-catching.]

[I’m giving myself a hard slap. Why did I ever attack Lin Wan in the past?]

[She looks as beautiful as a model.]

…

Ji Hanzhi took a few deep breaths as they got closer to the village’s entrance and tried to calm herself down. Her daughter hooked their hands with her on both sides. “Mama, is this Lan Village?”

Yuan Yuan blinked her big eyes and looked around curiously. “I saw a duck! A quacking duck!”

“It’s just around the corner. We will be there soon. Tuan Tuan, remember to say hello to the Aunties and Uncles.”

“Okay, Mama.”

The four families hurried to the village entrance after hearing the announcement.

Lin Wan encountered Xia Mo en route.

Xia Mo hooked her arm though Lin Wan’s. “You look so pretty today! I don’t even feel worthy of being your friend.”

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at Xia Mo. “Oh, please! Li Zexuan, that devil, went to the Festival Group office early in the morning to get the makeup artist. I wasn’t even told about it!”

Xia Mo laughed. “The person involved doesn’t care but all others buzz around fretfully. He’s afraid and doesn’t want you to lose to Ji Hanzhi.” Xia Mo saw through the children’s thoughts.

Lin Wan nodded. “Do I look too showy?” she asked.

“No, Wanwan. You look perfect. I am a little envious though. Xiao Yi loves me but isn’t as filial as Li Zexuan and the others.” Xia Mo glanced at her son who was reading a book while walking to the village entrance. Every time she asked if an outfit looked good on her, he would just give a perfunctory reply.

The Festival Group had already arrived at the village entrance. They waved at the four families who were walking toward them. Everyone stopped at the stone tablet at the entrance of Lan Village.

Ji Hanzhi emerged with a child in each hand in less than five minutes. There was a camera behind her.

[She’s here! She’s here! The one in the tight black dress is Ji Hanzhi, right?]

[Her physique is stunning! It’s hard to imagine she is a mother to two children. Even the cameraman behind her doesn’t look as fit.]

[Ji Hanzhi is so tall! She looks even taller with high heels on! She’s wearing a black dress, black sunglasses, and a black cap. She’s holding a baby in each hand.]

[@previous poster, you are good at summarizing! I want to say that she looks so beautiful and flirtatious.]

[But look at Lin Wan. She is wearing a Cheongsam. She looks so beautiful!]

The cameraman turned Lin Wan to include her in a shot.

[Lin Wan looks like she walked out of a painting. I love traditional beauties!]

[Me too! Even though she looks a head shorter than Ji Hanzhi, her looks are inferior to none.]

Nannan had already planned everything. She would be the first to build a friendship with Ji Hanzhi.

Hence, before the staff member could introduce Ji Hanzhi, Nannan had already walked up to her. “Hello,” she greeted her.

Although Ji Hanzhi responded to her politely, her eyes were fixated on Lin Wan and Li Yanchen.

Before she arrived at the village gate, she noticed a striking pink hue. She had guessed that those must have been the Li family.

She had watched the live stream countless times, but she noticed that Lin Wan was even more beautiful in person. As for Li Yanchen, he hadn’t changed at all in these three years.

“Hello everyone, I’m Ji Hanzhi.”

“Hello Uncles and Aunties, I am Tuan Tuan.”

“I’m Yuan Yuan. Nice meeting you all.” The two children greeted everyone in their child-like voices.

[Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan Yuan are so polite.]

[Sister Ji Hanzhi, I’ve been waiting for you.]

[I am a superfan! Wherever Hanzhi is, I’ll be there.]

[Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan grew up so fast. I still remember when my sister participated in the variety show, they were still babies who couldn’t even speak well.]

[It feels like we only saw them yesterday.]

[Yeah… the memories! Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan have been taught well.]

[Lin Wan looks indifferent.]

[Li Yanchen also looks unconcerned.]

[You guys are a joke! What do you expect them to do?]

[There is a new guest who arrived. It’s basic courtesy to greet her.]

[@previous poster, your husband’s ex-girlfriend has appeared in front of you. Will you take the initiative to go and greet them politely?]

…

On the bullet screen, the fans were divided again.

“Our staff will lead you to the house you will be staying in,” said the Director. “We will gather at eleven and have a group lunch. Everyone, you are free to do whatever you want till then.”

...

Everyone dispersed. Every family greeted Ji Hanzhi and welcomed her, except the Li family.

Li Yanchen held Lin Wan’s hand. “It seems we don’t need to cook today. Do you want to go to the orchard?”

“Alright,” said Lin Wan and they walked away together.

Ji Hanzhi saw that Li Yanchen was walking away. She couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Excuse me,” she said to the staff. “Please wait a few minutes. I want to greet an old friend before we leave for the hotel.”

Ji Hanzhi called out to Li Yanchen. Her two daughters stood with the staff obediently.

“Yanchen, long time no see!” Ji Hanzhi extended a hand for a handshake. Li Yanchen merely nodded politely and did not accept the handshake. His hands were intertwined with Lin Wan’s.

Ji Hanzhi awkwardly withdrew her hand and turned to Lin Wan. “Lin Wan, I know you!”

Lin Wan didn’t know what to do. She mimicked Li Yanchen and nodded slightly.

[My god! How can they do this? Ji Hanzhi has already taken the initiative to greet them. Where is the proper courtesy?]

[If my boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend were to suddenly appear and even come up to me to greet me, I wouldn’t be polite. I would pick a fight. Are the commenters pretending that they are so better at this? Ji Hanzhi only called out to Li Yanchen. Can’t you tell what she’s thinking?]

[Even if I don’t like Lin Wan, I hate Ji Hanzhi more.]

...

[sister Hanzhi is just saying hello to an old friend. What’s so wrong with that? Is it wrong to even say hello to an ex?]

[You can but when the other person ignores you, you have to take the hint. There is nothing to criticize here. If someone doesn’t want to talk, you leave them alone.]

[You are the ones who scolded Lin Wan mercilessly before, and then you were the ones who supported her later. Now, you are starting again! Not even the grass on the wall changes as fast as you all.]

[I’m sorry, I didn’t scold Lin Wan from the beginning to the end. Judging by the facts, exes should be someone who no longer has to care about. Whenever they appear, it’s like a dead memory coming to life. The Festival Group shouldn’t have done this. They don’t lack viewers. I am only going to watch the future episodes until Xuanxuan remains in the episode. I don’t think I am going to watch new episodes from this show in the future if Xuanxuan isn’t there.]

Ji Hanzhi also felt awkward. Her bright smile disappeared.

Nannan noticed it and she stepped forward to help. “Hanzhi, hi! Your house will be next to mine in this episode.”

Ji Hanzhi left with Nannan. She didn’t have a choice.

“Wanwan, I found an apricot tree in the orchard. Can apricots be used to make fruit tea?” Li Yanchen and Lin Wan held hands and walked away.

Lin Wan felt two resentful gazes behind her.
