The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them

123 The Leshan Buddha Moved Down for You to Sit On?

“Lin Wan, my son really likes your eldest son. He specifically asked me to tell Xuanxuan that a little brother named Gao Ziyao really admires him.”

“Mr. Li, we’ve met before. I’m Dai Li’s Sales Director. I’ve been to your company to discuss a collaboration before.”

“School Belle, I haven’t heard from you since high school. You must keep in touch more in the future.”

The students at the other two tables also walked towards Lin Wan and tried to get close to her.

Wu Zhenzhen’s mouth twisted in anger. She and Song Jing sat at their table, awkwardly.

“Each and every one of them is really powerful.” Wu Zhenzhen complained in a low voice.

“Let’s go greet Lin Wan as well.” Song Jing nudged Wu Zhenzhen.

Originally, she had been convinced by Song Jing and the others to take the initiative to apologize to Lin Wan. However, when she saw so many students pouncing on Lin Wan for favors and especially Luo Xi who couldn’t take his eyes off her, she didn’t want to apologize anymore. It was Lin Wan who had occupied Luo Xi’s heart and he didn’t even look at her.

Seeing that Wu Zhenzhen was not moving, Song Jing and Wen Rong walked over together.

“Lin Wan, long time no see.” Wen Rong said with a smile as she pushed her way through the crowd.

Lin Wan’s eyes flickered when she saw Wen Rong and Zhao Dan, but she did not say anything.

“She’s still the cold and aloof goddess.” Zhao Dan chuckled. “Wen Rong, don’t ask for trouble. Let’s go.” Zhao dan turned around and returned to her seat.

When the host read the opening speech aloud, the room finally returned to silence.

Lin Lang started to take some photos.

The big screen showed the photos of all the students. Some people’s eyes turned red with emotion and nostalgia. Lin Wan looked at the moving screen, but there was no photo of the original owner.

This made Lin Wan’s last bit of reservation disappear.

After a while, screenshots from Tieba appeared on the screen. Wu Zhenzhen rushed onto the stage and wanted to turn off the projector, but she couldn’t. The host was also dumbfounded, and the students in the room gasped.

Following that, Li Yanchen walked up to the stage. “Everyone, please don’t be surprised. There’s no need to doubt the authenticity of the photos either. I believe that you’ll see the news very soon. The reason why I accompanied Wanwan here today is not just to attend the class reunion but also to reflect upon you the heinous things some of you did to one of your classmates, Lin Wan.”

The man paused after every word. Wu Zhenzhen and the others stood in front of the screen. “They are all made up!” Wu Zhenzhen exclaimed.

“Whether everything is true or not, you all know it in your hearts. The news will be out soon. You all shouldn’t hurt somebody just out of jealousy. That’s a very shitty thing to do.” Li Yanchen reached for Lin Wan’s hand and they both walked out of the room.

Embarrassed, Wu Zhenzhen also left the restaurant with her bag.

Lin Lang, who was still recording the video, was completely baffled. This class reunion had turned into a farce. After the people involved in it had left, the rest discussed it. Some posted about it on their WeChat.

Song Jing was embarrassed. She just realized that Lin Wan had been holding herself back so that she could humiliate them in front of everyone. Song Jing hadn’t known the consequences would be this serious.

The press conference at three in the afternoon commenced. It was the declaration of Chenxin’s cooperation with others in the future and the reason for such a change.

Assistant Qin listened the entire time and broke out in a cold sweat. The boss had actually held such a press conference for Lin Wan and had even set up a criterion for companies who wanted to cooperate with Chenxin.

Very quickly, the words “class reunion” appeared on the hot search.

The netizens had mixed opinions.

[I suddenly understand Lin Wan. No wonder she has such a strange personality. She went through so much in high school.]

[Oh my god! She’s so pitiful. During the live broadcast, everyone was so wrong about her.]

[Her indifference to everything was caused by her experiences.]

[Li Yanchen gave up an entire city for the sake of one person. In order to seek justice for Lin Wan, he would rather be accused of abusing his power for personal grudges than to let those who wronged her go unpunished.]

[It was so long ago though. Everyone was in high school, and they were young. There is no need to do this now.]

[Song Jing has already posted an apology. It’s not good to be so brutal. Even her family is suffering.]

[@ Previous poster, the Leshan Buddha moved down for you to sit on?]

[Why should Lin Wan not do this? Is it okay for you to do anything and everything and be forgiven just because you are young?]

[I support Lin Wan and Li Yanchen’s actions. Bullying is wrong. There should be consequences for hurting someone no matter how young you might be.]

At night, Song Jing returned home with red eyes. She didn’t know how to face An Yang.

IN the restaurant, An yang drank one glass of wine after another. The negotiations between Chaoyang design and Xingye had reached the final stage. In the end, the person in charge of the Xingye project had said that he had been eliminated, and his hard work of the past few months had gone down the drain.

He had called Li Yanchen. At first, he apologized and tried to convince him to let go of the matter. When Li Yanchen remained silent, An Yang had gotten frustrated and blamed him for abusing his power and authority to settle personal grudges.

Li Yanchen had hung up the phone.

An Yang probably didn’t expect that the seemingly gentle and generous Song Jing of such heinous things. Even Anan’s endorsement had been canceled.

Anan was crying in her room. The rejection from her husband and her daughter broke Song Jing’s heart. She logged out of all her social media accounts and left the high school group chat as well.

At the Royal Water Bay, Lin Wan called Xia Mo’s family over to have a barbecue in the yard. It was not a celebration. Xia Mo and Lin Wan sat in the small pavilion and talked. Lin Wan felt complicated.

Other than Li Yanchen, Xia Mo was the only one in this world that Lin Wan trusted enough to tell her the truth about her transmigration. Xia Mo didn’t believe her. “Wanwan, don’t take this the wrong way but do you want to see a psychiatrist? I mean it makes sense. You went through so much when you were so young. I can’t understand how hard it must have been.”

No matter how Lin Wan tried to prove her truth, Xia Mo’s face was filled with suspicion. She had studied psychology for a while and knew that most patients would not admit that they were sick. Therefore, the more anxious Lin Wan was to prove that she was fine, the more Xia Mo felt that she was not.

Lin Wan knew that transmigrating into books sounded ridiculous, so she did not bother explaining.

Li Zexin finally saw Xiao Yi. He coaxed and pestered him and pulled him in front of the computer, letting Xiao Yi help him play a game. Of course, Xiao Yi was not willing. Li Zexin went online and played a series of levels as a Tiger. When he kept being defeated, Xiao Yi couldn’t stand it any longer.

“God, you’re useless! Move aside,” said Xiao Yi, impatiently.

This was the first time Li Zexin was standing next to his idol. He couldn’t even focus.

“You are really just a noob.” Xiao Yi shook his head.

Li Zexin wanted to kneel down. In the past, he had only seen Xiao Yi’s gaming stream. Now that the Wind God was in front of him playing a game, Li Zexin was emotional.

He didn’t know what words to use to express his admiration.

Li Zekai burst into the room with a lamb skewer. “Brother! Time for barbecue.”

Li Zexin was still not done and wanted to watch Xiao Yi play another round, but before he could speak, Xiao Yi had already stopped him from saying anything. “Don’t push your luck.”

...

“Okay.” Li Zexin obediently walked back to the yard with Xiao Yi.

Li Zexuan looked at Lin Wan, who was talking with Xiao Mo. When she and Xia Mo walked over to them, Li Zexuan walked to Lin Wan. “Ms. Lin, are you alright?”
