57 You’re Really Good at Teaching Your Children to Lie For You

“Sure. Thank you, Auntie Song.” Li Zexin seemed to have forgotten that the woman in front of him was his stepmother that he hated.

Li Yanchen immediately took out his phone and snapped a few pictures.

[Li Yanchen and Li Zexin are at Anan’s house. Hurry up and take a look! ]

[The two of them were whispering just now because they wanted to go to Anan’s house?]

[Why were they hiding this from us?]

[Li Yanchen must have missed Lin Wan, but he is too embarrassed to admit it. Maybe that’s why he got his son to go with him as an excuse.]

[Previous poster, your IQ is so high.]

They stared at her and Lin Wan felt conscious. She covered her face with her hand. “Please remove it,” she said to Song Jing.

“But why? It’s so pretty. Why don’t you keep it like that?” said Li Zexin. Although he didn’t know much about makeup, he thought it looked good on Lin Wan. Song Jing was carrying a basin of water, she was probably going to wash Lin wan’s face.

From the huge change in Lin Wan’s image, Li Yanchen finally understood why women liked to put on makeup. They could turn themselves into a completely different person with makeup.

“It’s not good for the skin to leave makeup on while sleeping,” explained Song Jing to Li Zexin in a kind tone. “But if you have time tomorrow, you can come again. It’s no problem for me to apply makeup on you again.” With Lin Wan’s appearance, her livestream’s popularity had grown, so Song Jing was happy to do it again.

[Is she going to help Lin Wan put on makeup every day for free?]

[What kind of luck does Lin Wan have? Why does she always encounter such good people?]

[Salted fish with the body of a koi fish. Who would have known?]

[They’re classmates. Besides, didn’t Lin Wan model for free too? It’s a mutual achievement. Song Jing’s self-made eyebrow pencil and eye shadow are out of stock.]

[What’s the name of Song Jing’s shop? I’m going to pick up a few things.]

Li Zexin, who had already completed his end of the deal, whispered in his father’s ear, “I think it will take a while. I am going back first. You just wait here. Don’t forget our deal.”

Li Zexin turned around and left. Li Yanchen stood beside Lin Wan and looked at the comments on the livestream.

[Li Zexin went back. As expected, he was covering for Li Yanchen.]

[Are old men so reserved? He definitely missed Lin Wan. But why ask his son to make up a fake story?]

[Do you want to hear a ghost story, Li Yanchen?]

[Previous poster, you’re really rubbing it in, aren’t you?]

[Hehehe.]

[Li Yanchen’s dark circles seem to be getting heavier. He doesn’t look in good spirits. Does he have kidney problems?]

[You can even tell that he’s not in a good mood. Huh? X-Ray Eyes.]

The man pretended to be indifferent, but his hands, involuntarily, rubbed at the corner of his eyes.

“There’s a stool over there. You can sit anywhere you want.” Song Jing saw Li Yanchen standing there awkwardly so she pointed at the stool behind the camera.

Without saying a word, Li Yanchen walked around the camera and sat down on the stool quietly. Twenty minutes later, Lin Wan was finally done removing her makeup.

Song Jing walked the two of them to the door. Looking at the receding backs of Lin Wan and Li Yanchen, the woman fell into her thoughts. The man was clearly worried about Lin Wan, so he had come here to check on her. Song Jing had thought badly of Lin Wan for being a young stepmother to three children and felt ashamed. How many people received such love and protection in a relationship?

On the way home, Li Yanchen did not say a word. He just walked quietly beside Lin Wan. The two of them were silent for a long time. Lin Wan couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Jiejie didn’t ask for a story, did he? You just want to show to everyone that you care about me in the livestream. How can that kind of pretentiousness help the stocks of your company?” Lin Wan didn’t see any affection in Li Yanchen’s eyes. The more she looked at him and understood the nature of his relationship with the original owner of the body, the more she felt that he treated the original owner just for benefits.

Li Yanchen’s footsteps slowed. In the dark, no one could see the surprise and hurt in his eyes.

“Jiejie is already asleep. But what could I have said to come and check in on you?” Li yanchen didn’t know why he said that. No matter who defamed him, he had never cared. But at this moment, he didn’t want to be misunderstood.

“You’re really good at teaching your children to lie for you.” Lin Wan was getting more and more confused about this man. Either he was a scum or was more complicated than he was made out to be in the novel.

“A harmless lie,” he said. Li Yanchen could hear the dissatisfaction in Lin Wan’s voice.

‘Does she think I crossed a line by using Li Zekai as an excuse to come check on her at night?’ Li Yanchen wondered. He realized that he might have. Their agreement was clear on the fact that they would not interfere in each other’s personal matters.

Lin Wan snorted and did not want to say anything more.

In Anan’s livestream channel, Song Jing talked to everyone.

[Songsong, did Li Yanchen come to pick up Lin Wan? There’s only one big banyan tree in their live broadcast room and nothing else.]

“I think so. There’s still 20 minutes before I finish with this. Is there anything you guys don’t understand about today’s European style makeup? You’re welcome to ask.” Song Jing sat in front of the camera.

[You don’t use European style makeup often, right? Songsong, you should continue teaching us how to do makeup for our daily life. The kind that newbies can learn quickly. By the way, are you really going to help Lin Wan with her makeup tomorrow again?]

[Was Lin Wan very popular when she was in school? I can see that you have a good relationship with her.]

“If Lin Wan is willing, of course, I will. Where else can you find such a beautiful model?” Song Jing praised Lin Wan’s looks but did not respond to the question about their school days.

[Was Lin Wan really the School Belle in high school? Do many people like her?]

[Did she invite you to her wedding?]

“Everyone, I have to go check on Anan. If you don’t have any questions about the makeup style, then I will see you tomorrow.” Song Jing pretended to be in a hurry.

Wu Zhenzhen had been watching Song Jing’s livestream. Song Jing and Lin Wan had looked as though they were such good friends with Song Jing doing her makeup. The woman sent many confusing messages.

“Song Jing, what do you think you are doing? You and Lin Wan are suddenly best friends now?” Wu Zhenzhen texted in the group.

Zhao Dan followed up with another question. “Are you using her to sell your makeup stuff? Look, you have earned money but aren’t you scared of losing everything? Didn’t you notice that Lin Wan is different now? There is no sign of weakness in her eyes. The fact that she married Li Yanchen shows that she isn’t afraid of doing anything.”

“Lin Wan must be playing the pig to eat the tiger.” Wu Zhenzhen was certain that Lin Wan would not easily forget about the incident in high school.

“How can she harm me? I think that if I keep a distance from her here, then it will mean that I am hiding something,” Song Jing responded in the group chat.

“Zhenzhen, Dandan, don’t be too nervous. Songsong is not a fool. Let her deal with it herself. Us always bringing things up makes us look guilty.” Wen Rong and Song Jing had been Wu Zhenzhen and Zhao Dan’s sidekicks in the school bullying incident in the past. Although they had been involved, they had never intended to start something like this. They weren’t as bad as the other two girls.

“Alright, if I’m just being a busybody, do as you please,” Wu Zhenzhen said angrily.

“Zhenzhen, let’s take things as they come. Maybe we’re just too nervous. There are so many cameras at the scene. How can Lin Wan take revenge on Songsong? We’re living in a society ruled by law. Besides, would An Yang allow his wife to be bullied?” Wen Rong analyzed the situation carefully.

...

“Go to sleep, don’t be noisy.” Wu Zhenzhen muted the group chat. Since she couldn’t stop Song Jing, she just had to be more careful in the future.

“Good night, everyone.” Zhao dan sent an emoji and went offline.
