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

50 Meeting

Han Qianye felt that such praise was boring and too plastic, so she changed the topic. “Hanrong, which year are you born?”

Min Hanrong: “…”

Why did the topic have to be so different! Although everyone knew her age, women never really wanted to mention their year of birth when they were old. But this was a variety show live broadcast. Again, she had to answer.

Min Hanrong gritted her molars and replied, “Seventy… three.”

Han Qianye smiled meaningfully. “What a coincidence. I’m also ’73. Then what month are you?”

Min Hanrong took a deep breath. “April.”

Han Qianye smiled happily. “I’m July. You’re older, so you’re the sister.”

Min Hanrong: “…”

The netizens in the live-stream were about to crack from laughter.

[The combined mind of these two can circle the earth.]

[I remember that last time, a netizen said that Han Qianye is a scheming person, but she just can’t hide it. Hahahahaha…]

[It’s broadcasting, it’s broadcasting. My appetizer is here. Mother-in-law Joy, gogo~]

[The live broadcast is not enough. When will Wind Platform premiere this? If I want to watch the replay, I’ll have to wait until the flowers wilt.]

[Although I like Min Hanrong very much, Han Qianye is really funny. Isn’t this how a funny woman looks when she’s old? I seem to have seen my future self.]

[The official Weibo account did not reveal any new information, but I heard that the second episode is even more exciting. Are they going to gather?]

[They shouldn’t gather so quickly. I feel that these four groups of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law might only gather in the next episode.]

[Strange, Group 2 and Group 3 haven’t broadcasted yet? I want to see Xie Wen.]

The comments in the live-stream were very happy. The hint competition between Min Hanrong and Han Qianye was simply an atmosphere adjustment agent.

Tao Jing did not dare to smile too obviously, so she could only talk to Li Xiwu opposite her. “Xiwu, were you resting at home or working yesterday?”

Now that they were familiar with each other, Tao Jing changed the way she addressed Miss Li to calling her by her name, making her seem even more friendly.

Li Xiwu looked up. “I worked and rested.”

Tao Jing raised her folded hands to her cheeks and asked, “Then what do you usually do when you’re resting?”

Li Xiwu said calmly, “I usually stay at home.”

Tao Jing nodded. “Oh.”

Of course, she couldn’t mention playing mahjong. In order to maintain the atmosphere, Li Xiwu threw the topic to Tao Jing. Just as she was listening carefully to Tao Jing talk about her usual living arrangements, the seat beside her suddenly pulled open and someone sat down. She glanced sideways to see who it was.

The moment she saw Xie Wen, Li Xiwu quickly realized that this was a script arranged by the director.

—Meeting

She looked slightly stunned and surprised. Slowly, the surprise and surprise in her eyes were obvious. Her fingers, which were flat on the table, moved slightly, her fingertips indicating her unsettled mood.

Until Xie Wen called out coquettishly, “Miss Li~”

Li Xiwu smiled. “You’re here.”

It was just two words, but they were more than a thousand words.

Xie Wen smiled like a young girl who had just left school. She was young, lively, and all the mental and physical exhaustion had disappeared at this moment. There was only joy and excitement in her heart, as well as the happiness of seeing her life mentor again.

The scene that online netizens wanted to see did not appear. Xie Wen did not reach out to hug Li Xiwu and then confess to each other. She only pointed at her face and asked playfully, “Miss Li, do you think my makeup is good today?”

This was what Xie Wen had asked Li Xiwu the most in the past. Every time the makeup artist changed her makeup, as long as Li Xiwu was around, she would definitely ask Li Xiwu if her makeup was good. Most of the time, Li Xiwu would say that she looked good, unless she was really unsatisfactory.

Then, Xie Wen would do as Li Xiwu said and get the makeup artist to modify her makeup. She had always listened to Li Xiwu’s opinion. Only when it came to love and marriage did she go against everyone’s advice, including Li Xiwu.

At this moment, Li Xiwu’s gaze was not as good as Xie Wen’s, but her sincerity was enough to express everything. She said seriously, “The color of the lip gloss will look better if it’s a little thicker.”

“Is that so?” Xie Wen’s eyes curved. “Then I’ll make up for it.”

Just like when she first arrived at the inn, she still had her bag with her. She opened her bag under the camera and found a lipstick. When she couldn’t find a mirror, Xie Wen turned around and handed the lipstick to Li Xiwu. “Miss Li, help me mend it.”

It wasn’t a troubled tone. Just like ordinary friends, there were no obvious emotions, but millions of netizens in the live-stream were jealous—

[F*ck! My eyes are in a brick!]

[Wenwen, you’re confused.]

[My dream has been fulfilled. Xie Wen is finally in the same frame as her Sister Li.]

[The official surprise is really… without any advance notice, my tears flowed like water in West Lake.]

[I thought we would have to wait until the third episode for them to get together. I didn’t expect for them to get together in the second episode. Director, I love you.]

[I didn’t think so when I watched Xie Wen’s live-stream, but when I saw Xie Wen and Sister Li in the same frame, I was really emotional. Wenwen, you’re confused.]

[I hope Xie Wen can return to the entertainment industry after this variety show.]

The comments were endless.

Tao Jing, who was sitting opposite her, saw this scene between Li Xiwu and Xie Wen and recalled the script she had seen from Mother-in-Law Joy yesterday. She had seen Xie Wen’s fans say that when Xie Wen left the industry to give birth, it almost became Li Xiwu’s sore spot. How regretful was that…

Tao Jing couldn’t help but think of the song “Altenis in A Minor.” Mother Dragon’s song was also filled with regret. If the prelude to “Altenis in A Minor” sounded at this moment, it would really be too appropriate.

Of course, Tao Jing was not the only one who thought so. Countless online fans had the same thought.

[Seeing this, I suddenly thought of Mother Dragon’s Altenis. Did you think of the same thing?]

[Apollo stopped Altenis from falling in love with the God of Storm. In the end, it caused a tragedy. Poignant but filled with regret.]

[Isn’t Xie Wen a portrait of Altenis? Apollo clearly doted on Altenis so much, but she insisted on falling in love with the God of Storm and even died for love in the end.]

[Everyone, play “Altenis in A Minor” on the public screen for the director to see. I hope that the Wind Platform will play this song in the premiere when Sister Li and Xie Wen meet.]

...

[Put Altenis in A Minor on the public screen! Get the director to buy the copyright from Mother Dragon!]

At this moment, Li Xiwu had already applied lip gloss to Xie Wen. “Done.”

Xie Wen’s lips curved. “Is it beautiful?”

Li Xiwu praised her seriously. “Yes, especially beautiful.”

Xie Wen had good facial features. She had not put on any makeup since she was pregnant. It was also because she had been on a variety show that she began to put on makeup frequently. Although she looked a little haggard, her makeup could cover that haggardness very well.

Originally, this makeup today was already very exquisite. Under Li Xiwu’s suggestion, after adding lip color, this face instantly returned to its peak appearance when she first debuted.
