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

In-Law Variety Show

Han Qianye was famous for being difficult to deal with. After Li Xiwu married Pei Jingzhou three years ago, she did not see Han Qianye directly for the first year until the next year.

Han Qianye was a wealthy lady after all. She could not point at her and tell her to get out of the Pei family like the shrew on the street. However, she would put on a cold face on some occasions and deliberately embarrass Li Xiwu. Therefore, in the past three years, the number of times the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had met could be counted.

“You’re scared silly with only 200 million?” Han Qianye said indifferently with a slightly red and swollen face.

Li Xiwu asked, “Auntie, are you serious?”

Seeing that she was tempted, Han Qianye mocked, “Look at how worthless you are. 200 million is enough to control you.”

Li Xiwu smiled tightly.

Han Qianye said, “Be happy.”

“No,” Li Xiwu said calmly. “Your face…”

Han Qianye probably didn’t know that her sarcastic expression coupled with her slightly red and swollen face was very comical.

“What are you laughing at?” Han Qianye raised her hand to cover her face. “Let me remind you that you didn’t take this two hundred million for nothing.”

Li Xiwu did not know what Han Qianye was up to. Next, Han Qianye took out a contract from the Hermes Hilmaraya bag beside him and handed it to Li Xiwu. “Take a look first.”

Li Xiwu took it and opened it to read it carefully. During this period, the manicurists moved in to make tools for nails. They removed Han Qianye’s old nails and made new ones.

Seeing that Li Xiwu had finished reading, Han Qianye said, “You’re a professional. You can understand the contents.”

“Yes,” Li Xiwu said. “So what are you saying now?”

It was a variety contract.

This variety show was an outdoor lifestyle variety show that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law participated in together. It was called “Mother-in-law Joy.” After those celebrities who had already retired took their mother-in-law on this variety show, they became famous again.

Last year, there was also a wealthy lady from the capital circle who brought her daughter-in-law on this show. Then, she openly displayed the extravagance of a wealthy family on the show. The audience was dumbfounded.

The contract Han Qianye gave her was for the second season of “Mother-in-law Joy”. After the previous season ended, the word-of-mouth and viewership ratings were very impressive. The organizers ate the dividends and did not stop promoting the second season.

Han Qianye suddenly smiled kindly. “This is what I think. We’re mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I haven’t cared much about you in the past three years. I feel guilty no matter how I think about it. Therefore, I want to participate in this show with you. Even if we don’t become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, we might have to interact in the future, don’t you think so?”

Li Xiwu replied, “Yes.”

Han Qianye was very satisfied with Li Xiwu’s attitude. “Then it’s settled. Adjust your schedule according to the recording time in the contract.”

This time, Li Xiwu did not agree immediately. She made a condition. “It takes time and effort to record a show. Isn’t 200 million a little too little?”

Han Qianye was speechless. The two hundred million was her secret stash. She had to grit her teeth to get it out. She actually thought it was too little?

“Li Xiwu, don’t be too greedy.” The kind expression on Han Qianye’s face disappeared.

Li Xiwu smiled. “I see, so fighting for yourself is greed. Auntie is too noble and I’m too despicable.”

Han Qianye choked and thought about how to continue the conversation. This daughter-in-law looked obedient and innocent, but in fact, her thoughts were very complicated. There were at least 800 of them.

“How much do you want?” Han Qianye planned to take a step back.

Li Xiwu did not stand on ceremony. She opened his palm and gestured.

Han Qianye’s expression changed. “Li Xiwu, you’re deliberately making things difficult for me.”

The liquidity in the hands of wealthy ladies was limited. They seemed to be worth tens of billions, but they could only take out a few hundred million. Li Xiwu wanted four hundred million! She actually increased by double. She has quite an appetite. Where could she get 400 million?

Li Xiwu stood up and said in a cold voice, “Auntie, I still have something on at the company. If you’ve thought it through, call me so that I can adjust my schedule.”

Li Xiwu had just gotten up when a sound came from nearby—

“Mom!”

Li Xiwu turned and saw Pei Jiao craning her neck to look for her mother.

Pei Jiao was Pei Jingzhou’s younger sister. She had been fooling around outside and had only returned from overseas a few months ago. She was usually elusive and did not have much interaction with Li Xiwu.

When Han Qianye saw Pei Jiao, she waved his hand. “Jiaojiao, here.”

Pei Jiao strode over. When she saw Han Qianye’s swollen face, she asked, “Mom, what happened to your face? Why is it as swollen as a pig’s head?”

Han Qianye was speechless.

Li Xiwu pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. “Auntie, I’ll leave first.”

Han Qianye raised her hand. “I’ll reply to you later.”

“Okay.” Li Xiwu nodded.

They waited for Li Xiwu to leave. The employee of Herti stood up and explained to Pei Jiao why Han Qianye’s face was red. Pei Jiao was still confused. “What hot mama chicken? Is it edible?”

Han Qianye was furious. “What else can you think about other than food?!”

Pei Jiao said righteously, “Thinking about your money.”

“…”

Pei Jiao turned her head and looked at Li Xiwu’s departing figure. She murmured, “Why do I feel that she looks a little familiar?”

“Your sister-in-law,” Han Qianye reminded her.

Pei Jiao suddenly understood. “Oh, the substitute beside my brother.”

Han Qianye snorted. “She’s just a proxy.”

Pei Jiao looked confused again. “Mom, what’s a proxy?”

“The peripheral of an item.”

“What’s peripheral?”

“…”

According to normal development, her daughter should share the same hatred as her and unanimously dislike Li Xiwu.

...

Han Qianye was furious. She looked at Pei Jiao’s blockhead and said, “I told you to study more in the past. All you know is ‘Makka Pakka’.”

–

After Li Xiwu returned to the company to settle other matters, she drove to Qiao Qiao’s residence. The two of them were close, and Li Xiwu knew the password to the door lock of Qiao Qiao’s house. She entered the password and entered. The fragrance of food filled her nose.

“I’ve put in a lot of effort. I’ve cooked so much today.” Li Xiwu saw the dishes on the table and her appetite rose.

Qiao Qiao came out of the kitchen with a plate of salt-and-pepper shrimp. She was grinning from ear to ear. “I’m going all out to celebrate the fact that you’re about to be single again, am I right?”

“It’s enough.” Li Xiwu smiled. “But as you know, divorce isn’t that fast. I even made a deal with Han Qianye today.”

Li Xiwu and Qiao Qiao had known each other for almost three years. The two of them had similar personalities and interests. They talked about everything and soon became best friends.

“Han Qianye?” Qiao Qiao asked in surprise.

“Yeah.”

“You mean that old kerosene barrel that caught fire at the drop of a hat—Han Qianye?”

Under Qiao Qiao’s gaze, Li Xiwu nodded. “Yes.”

...

Qiao Qiao placed the salt-and-pepper shrimp on the dining table and wiped her hands on her apron. She pulled Li Xiwu into a chair. “What kind of deal was made? I’d like to see how this old kerosene bucket screws you over.”

Li Xiwu said bluntly, “Han Qianye gave me 200 million yuan and invited me to record a variety show with her. After recording the show, I will take the money and divorce Pei Jingzhou.”
