Chapter 61 - 61 Salted Fish Big Shot

61 Salted Fish Big Shot

The Li family’s live broadcast room instantly turned into an introspection meeting.

[Does the Festival group know about Xiao Yi’s secret identity? Xiao Yi is so down-to-earth. If he livestreams while playing games, the show’s popularity will skyrocket!]

[The top student is excellent in all aspects. He doesn’t care about fame at all.]

[May I ask if the Festival Group knows about Xiao Yi’s identity? Did they only give the top student an appearance fee?]

!!

[Are you an accountant? You even calculated it!]

[I’m locking this show down. It’s really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.]

[Yes, no one is mediocre, except Lin Wan.]

[Sisters, I have a bold guess. Could Lin Wan also be a Big Shot?]

[Previous poster, you’ve read too many f*cking chapters, right?]

[She’s a Salted Fish Big Shot.]

[Hahahahaha.]

[Luckily, Lin Wan doesn’t read the comments. If she did, she would be depressed.]

In the bullet comments praising Xiao Yi, there were occasionally a few comments dissing Lin Wan. Few of these comments were particularly eye-catching.

…

At Wheatley’s house, surprisingly Nannan did not wear matching parent-child clothes today. However, the two of them had matching hairpins. The butterfly pins glowed on their hair. The blue crystal shimmered with a dazzling light as the wings flapped. The sharp-eyed netizens instantly recognized the hairpin as Wheatley’s gift that she had given Nan last night.

[So, Wheatley bought two of the same hairpins. She’s really attentive.]

[Not biologically related but still better than that.]

[Nannan wore it on her hair today. It’s obvious that she likes it very much.]

[Who was the one who said yesterday that Wheatley was being perfunctory? That’s why gifts are precious, and it doesn’t matter what price it must be. It’s the thought that matters.]

[I hope Nannan and Wheatley will always be like this. I believe in love again after seeing Wheatley’s family.]

Nannan deliberately looked at the bullet screen. Then, she turned sideways and gave a close-up of the butterfly hairpin. “Doesn’t it look good? Wheatley gave it to me!”

The woman deliberately showed off.

Ten minutes ago, Nannan was putting on makeup. Wheatley looked at the hairpin that was thrown aside. She picked it up and pointed at Nannan. “You don’t like it? I didn’t want to buy it for you either. I had no choice. To complete the mission, I bought a crown for my mother. She’s the only Queen in my heart.”

Nannan’s hand, which was holding the comb, trembled. To show that she did not care, she took the hairpin and put it on her head. “It’s very nice. I see that you’re wearing it too. In front of the camera, I’m even closer to you than your own mother. I’ll wear it today.”

She understood her relationship with Wheatley very well. As expected, when the fans saw it, they praised her to the sky.

To cooperate with Nannan, Wheatley smiled the whole time.

In the woodshed, Michael was chopping some wood. He wiped his sweat. Su Wei was with him.

Su Wei held an ax in his hand, but he did not chop any firewood. He took out his mobile phone and shuttled through the livestream rooms until he saw comments about Nannan and Wheatley. Su Wei looked at Michael enviously.

“Brother Mike, did your family have a fight? I’m talking about Wheatley and Nannan.”

“I don’t think so. At least, I didn’t see them. Both Wheatley and Nannan are introverted. It’s unlikely for them to have a head-on fight.”

Su Wei was so envious. “How did Uncle and Auntie agree to you marrying Nannan?” He asked.

Michael was stunned with the sudden question. He put down the firewood and sat on the long bench. “My parents are quite open-minded. As long as they know that I’m happy and Wheatley has someone to love her, they will agree. When Nannan came to my house for the first time, she saw Wheatley and carried her up. She also bought many things for Wheatley. My parents were so happy to see someone who doted on their granddaughter so much.” Michael recalled the scene when he first brought Nannan home. His deep eyes were like the vast galaxy, shining with nostalgic light.

Su Wei also recalled the first time Xu Xiaoxiao had met his parents. Xu Xiaoxiao brought some fruits and went into the kitchen to help her mother, as if she didn’t notice Tutu who was playing alone in the living room. The man suddenly realized why his mother always said that Xu Xiaoxiao didn’t care about Tutu.

“Then, is the first impression set in stone?” Su Wei asked.

“Not necessarily. Some people get easily offended by others at the first meeting but after getting along with the other person, they find them quite nice.”

“Is there any hope for Xu Xiaoxiao?” Su Wei’s smile was a little awkward. After the proposal yesterday, he had received more than a dozen calls from his mother, who had threatened him with many excuses to break up with Xu Xiaoxiao. In the end, Su Wei had blocked his mother’s number.

Tutu and Xu Xiaoxiao’s relationship was not very good, and Michael knew that. He coughed. “It will be a bit tricky, Brother Su. Look, it’s not just your parents who don’t like Xu Xiaoxiao, Tutu doesn’t like her either. But maybe if we can get Tutu to like her, then your parents might change their minds, too. So, the key would be for Xu Xiaoxiao to coax the child into liking her.”

But Tutu is so stubborn. He only thinks about his mother!” Su Wei’s voice hardened. “His mother abandoned him. To protect her image in the child’s heart, I didn’t tell him the truth. But Tutu thinks she is the good one and misses her even more.”

“Give the child some time. At least until he is a few years older so that he can understand these things. Oh, Wheatley’s here.” When he saw his daughter run to him with something in her hands, Michael got up and waved at her. “It’s better if we don’t discuss adult things in front of children. How about I find you for a drink sometimes? We can talk till we are drunk.”

“Hello, Uncle Su Wei,” Wheatley greeted him politely and held onto Michael’s hand. “Dad, Auntie is waiting for firewood. We’re having earth-pot chicken today.”

“Alright. I am done chopping them. Brother Su, goodbye for now.”

Wheatley helped her father carry a piece of firewood with her free hand. Then she ran back inside.

In an Orchard not far away, Lin Wan picked two peaches. She took out a knife to peel them and ate them one by one. The fruits were juicy and ripe. Lin Wan wanted to pick some more and take them back to the house.

The woman looked at the grass at a distance, lost in thought. Xia Mo had told her that she would be back in the next episode. ‘Will she really come back?’

If they all woke up early like today, it would be a good idea to find a place to pass the time.

Lin Wan was a little impulsive. The villain in her mind had won. Just as she was about to make up her mind, a familiar voice came from the radio on the telephone pole.

“After a discussion with the directorial team and the requests of the fans in the live broadcast room, with the consent of most of the guests, we will arrange a new task at 3 P.M. The task would be for the mothers of the family to showcase their talents. They can do anything they want. Arts, calligraphy, painting, poetry, cooking or handicraft. Any talent that you have can be showcased. Please get ready and good luck!”

Lin Wan wanted to jump up and scream. The Festival Group had not kept their word. Today was supposed to be a day without tasks so that they could do whatever they wanted! She already had plans to lie down and do nothing but now there was a task she needed to participate in so suddenly. What’s more? It was a talent show!
