Chapter 72 - 72 We Are Supposed to Be the Anti-Stepmother Team

72 We Are Supposed to Be the Anti-Stepmother Team

In the bedroom, Xu Xiaoxiao saw the usual sly trick of her stepson and stuffed her ears with earplugs.

Even if the festival Group gave her ten times the appearance fee, she wouldn’t join next time. She didn’t even gain so much popularity, but she was almost at the verge of losing her sanity.

Tutu’s actions were too much, so much so that almost all the people in the live broadcast room were on Xu Xiaoxiao’s side, and even her suspected identity as a mistress was ignored.

[Is this retribution enough? if my son was like this, I think I’d have killed myself.]

[You’re so harsh, sister. I watched the entire livestream from the beginning. Xu Xiaoxiao didn’t do anything wrong. Tutu is always finding fault with her.]

[I would’ve been depressed if I were her.]

[I’m tired and frustrated. I’m logging off. This is full of negative energy.]

[I feel the same way. I don’t even want to have children anymore.]

[Tutu isn’t in front of the camera. Did Su Wei take him to a place where we can’t see him?]

[That brat doesn’t even care what occasion it is.]

Lin Wan, who was resting, scrolled through all the family’s livestream channels and stopped at Tutu’s.

When she saw the comments discussing Tutu, she realized that she still hadn’t solved the problem about the milk powder. If there was really a problem, it meant that Xu Xiaoxiao was not as innocent as she appeared to be. Lin Wan had seen enough of this kind of people who pretended to be good in front of others while they schemed in silence.

Now, the public was criticizing Tutu. If Xu Xiaoxiao really married Su Wei, Tutu might not have a happy life. Lin Wan knew that this was none of her business. If Xu Xiaoxiao had actually drugged Tutu with sleeping pills, Lin Wan didn’t know what she would do

When she returned to Yun City the day after tomorrow, she had to investigate this matter.

Li Zekai, who was fanning Lin Wan, saw her stop in Tutu’s livestream. “Auntie, did Tutu fight with Auntie Xiaoxiao again? Will Auntie Xiaoxiao feed Tutu milk that makes Tutu sleep?”

Lin Wan’s fingers trembled as she held her phone. Xu Xiaoxiao couldn’t be that bold.

“Go and get Tutu to play with you.” That was the only way Lin Wan could prevent Tutu from getting hurt.

Li Zekai put down his fan. “Alright.”

When Li Zekai ran to Tutu’s house, Su Wei was making Tutu reflect on his mistakes in the backyard.

Li Zekai called his name. Tutu heard it but he didn’t dare respond when he saw his father’s serious face.

Li Zekai didn’t hear a response, so he ran directly to the backyard. He saw Tutu facing the courtyard wall, standing straight.

“Uncle, my father asked me to call Tutu to my house to play.” Li Zekai purposely used Li Yanchen’s name to help his case.

With outsiders around, Su Wei didn’t want to scold his son. “Don’t mess around, do you hear me?”

Usually, Tutu didn’t care because his father never really punished him. But today, he felt like he had crossed a line seeing his father so angry.

“Yes.” The little boy rubbed his sore feet, held Li Zekai’s hand, and quickly walked out.

On the way, Li Zekai asked, “Tutu, are you okay?”

Tutu lowered its eyes. “I just want Xu Xiaoxiao gone. My mother will come back if I drive her away.”

“But your dad doesn’t want Auntie Xiaoxiao to leave. Adults don’t listen to children. You will only get beaten up if you make a scene.” Li Zekai was the same age as Tutu, but at that moment, he sounded far more mature.

“Jiejie, don’t you also want Auntie Lin to leave? They stole our father’s love.” Tutu remembered the first time he had played with Li Zekai. He recalled Li Zekai complaining about Lin Wan. He had hated her too. ‘So, why is he warning me to not go against Xu Xiaoxiao?’ Tutu wondered.

“Don’t tell me you have betrayed us! We are supposed to be the anti-stepmother team!” Tutu stopped in his tracks. He wanted to make sure they were both on the same side.

“If you don’t like her, just don’t talk to her. Isn’t it tiring to always quarrel, Tutu?” Li Zekai still remembered the first time he had met Lin Wan at his father’s wedding. At that time, Lin Wan wore a white wedding dress. He wanted to steal his brother’s ink and splash it on it, but he saw that so many cameras were focused on Lin Wan. If he made a scene, he would definitely be called a bad child, so he held back. If he had brazenly done that, his father would have disliked him forever.

“Xu Xiaoxiao’s so good at acting. She’s always talking bad about me in front of my dad. Does Auntie Lin do that to you in front of your father?” Tutu gritted his teeth in anger when he talked about Xu Xiaoxiao.

Li Zekai realized that Lin Wan never talked bad about him or any of his brothers in front of their father.

Li Zekai lowered his head. “Auntie Lin doesn’t meddle in my business. We tricked her into coming to this program.”

Tutu looked at Li Zekai with envy.

After they reached the Li family house, the two kids headed straight to the sandpit.

After Li Yanchen was done with the side dishes, he walked over to Lin Wan and sat down beside her. “It’s still early. Let’s chat for a while till the food is done cooking.”

“No. You are blocking my way,” said Lin Wan. She just wanted to lie down quietly.

[Lin Wan is so bold. Li Yanchen wanted to chat with her a little, but she refused!]

[Sisters, don’t just watch the show, learn something from it as well. When you learn the art of coaxing, this is what it means to play hard to get!]

[Li Yanchen, you’re a big boss of a big company! To think that he is so arrogant that he doesn’t even take interviews and here he is, getting rejected. Li Yanchen, your image is ruined.]

[Just now, my husband wanted to chat with me. I copied Lin Wan and said I am tired. He said okay and went to play games in the living room! I scolded him. Couldn’t he insist a little more? He looked at me in shock and said that he left because I wanted him to]

[The prerequisite for you is to have someone who pampers you unconditionally for that to work. Otherwise, it will be useless.]

Li Yanchen was rejected once again. So, he moved aside in a daze. How many times has it been now? Didn’t he have a face to save? He always tried his best to please Lin Wan to repay her kindness but Lin Wan never appreciated it. She did not look like someone with a psychological problem at all right now. She was angry at everything and did whatever she wanted, depending on her mood. Li Yanchen was starting to suspect that he was the one with a problem.

“Mr. Li, I’ll chat with you,” said Li Zexuan. He carried a small stool sat beside his father. Li Zexin had gone to study, and Li Zekai had gone to the sandpit. He was bored without his brothers to accompany him.

[Xuanxuan is so kind. Li Yanchen, love your eldest son well. He’s the only one you can count on at critical times.]

[It’s the last day tomorrow. I can’t bear to see them leave.]

[Why are you talking about this again? Can’t you just live a happy life of your own?]

“So, we will go back the day after tomorrow. Are you going on a business trip again?” Li Zexuan pretended to ask nonchalantly, but his heart was a mess. He didn’t want this family time to end.

For the first time in seven years, he didn’t feel lonely. In the past few days, He had even considered accepting Lin Wan seeing how she was the reason their father showed an interest in his family. However, little did he know that his father would be there with them until the end of this episode only.
