The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them-Chapter 47 - 47 He Hadn’t Expected Her to Have a Trick Up Her Sleeves

47 He Hadn’t Expected Her to Have a Trick Up Her Sleeves

Lin Wan went to Tutu’s house with Li Zekai.

Xu Xiaoxiao interacted with her fans in the live broadcast room. Without Tutu raising a mess, her mood was much better these days.

[Xiaoxiao, Tutu has been very obedient these few days. How did you do it?]

[Yes! Tell us! I sometimes get annoyed by my children, too. They make all sorts of trouble.]

[Does it really work? Will the children start listening to us?]

“The child is disobedient because he has someone to back him up. When Su Wei went off on his business trip, Tutu actually began listening to me,” said Xu Xiaoxiao in a serious tone.

[My in-laws spoil their children too. To be honest, I’m afraid that my son will learn bad things in the future. With his grandparents around, he won’t listen to anything I say. Once he’s lectured, the grandparents aggressively defend him no matter what he does.]

[It’s the same for my family. I was so tired that I simply told my in-laws to go back to their hometown. As expected, the children are much more obedient now.]

[Xiaoxiao, is Su Wei coming back soon? Your good days are over.]

[Previous post, do you even know how to talk? How do you know for sure Tutu will revert back to being a brat when Su Wei comes?]

“Auntie, is Tutu awake?” Li Zekai ran to Xu Xiaoxiao’s side.

[Li Zekai?]

[Aww. Jiejie really likes Tutu. I always see him coming here a few times to visit his friend.

[When will Tutu learn to be as sensible as Li Zekai?]

[Every child has their own unique traits. Besides, with a mother like Lin Wan, it’s hard for a child to not be sensible. They might need to take care of themselves.]

“Lin Wan?” Xu Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected Lin Wan to be here.

[Lin Wan is here too? No way, Lin Wan took the initiative to socialize.]

[Is it because Xu Xiaoxiao and Tutu’s relationship has improved?]

“Auntie, I brought her here to ask you about that milk powder you give Tutu. I want to buy some of it today!”

Xu Xiaoxiao was so surprised to see Lin Wan standing behind her. ‘How did Li Zekai know that I gave him prepared milk before bed?’

Xu Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale.

[What did Li Zekai say?]

[He said he wants to see which milk powder Tutu drinks so he can get it too. But why didn’t he ask Li Yanchen instead? He even brought Lin Wan with him.]

[Su Wei isn’t around. It would be awkward for Li Yanchen to bring his son over, right?]

[That’s true. But even if Lin Wan knows what brand of milk powder it is, where will she buy it?]

[She can tell Li Yanchen to buy it.]

Xu Xiaoxiao suffered from insomnia, so she took sleeping pills. Yesterday, after Su Wei left, she ground the sleeping pills and added them to Tutu’s milk powder. The little boy was quiet after drinking the milk. She thought that long-term consumption of sleeping pills hadn’t caused her any harm yet. She only gave Tutu half the amount.

After two days, Tutu’s mental state was not good, and everyone suspected that he was sick. No one thought that Tutu had been drugged, but Li Zekai specifically mentioned milk powder. Xu Xiaoxiao broke out in a cold sweat.

“Tutu drinks the Wisdom Awakening brand. It is available in mother and baby shops. Choose the ones above the age of six.” Xu Xiaoxiao was afraid that Lin Wan would insist on checking the can of milk powder.

“Auntie, Tutu said that the milk powder is the best. Not only is it sweet, but it can also turn you into a good baby after drinking it. I want to be good too. I brought a small cup with me.” Li Zekai lifted his little cup. “Can I have a little?”

[What do you mean it turns you into a good baby?]

[What did Tutu mean when he told Li Zekai that a milk powder turned him into a good baby?]

[Where are the Graduate students in the livestream room? Come out and explain a little!]

[I don’t feel good about this. Has Xu Xiaoxiao been mixing sleeping pills in Tutu’s milk?]

[What?! When you think about it, it makes sense! Tutu has been excessively sleepy these past few days.]

“Ha ha. Tutu talks nonsense sometimes. The milk powder doesn’t turn you into a good boy. Tutu likes the milk powder so much and I tell him to be a good boy if he wants it,” explained Xu Xiaoxiao. She was trying to remain calm, but she was scared out of her wits. This was a live broadcast. ‘What did Li Zekai want to imply?’

[That makes sense. Children can be stubborn. I tell that to my child too. I tell him to be a good boy so he can drink the milk and grow up strong. Children need to be coaxed like that sometimes.]

[But that doesn’t make sense. Tutu woke up at nine today and he fell asleep in the sandpit right after. It wasn’t even one in the afternoon. Something is not right.]

[That’s impossible! Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn’t dare treat Tutu like this.]

[Why is it impossible? She’s just a mistress. Tutu embarrasses her every day. Maybe she got annoyed and turned vengeful. Su Wei isn’t around either.]

[Don’t talk nonsense without evidence. You have to bear legal responsibility for spreading rumors.]

The director also saw the bullet screen. This was a serious matter. If Xu Xiaoxiao really drugged the child, it would be against the law. If she didn’t do anything like that, then the netizens would be responsible for spreading such baseless rumors. Besides, Su Wei was a rich man and a patron for their program, so they had to clarify this matter as soon as possible.

The director instructed the person in charge of logistics to go to Tutu’s house to check.

“Xiaoxiao, I am so sorry. But kids can be so stubborn. He even brought his own cup. Could you just give Jiejie a little bit of milk powder to try? I will buy you a can of it later. The child made a huge fuss at home saying he wanted to drink some right now,” said Lin Wan, apologetically.

Since Lin Wan had requested so ardently, if Xu Xiaoxiao refused to spare even two spoonfuls of milk powder, it would definitely seem very suspicious. She nodded and walked to the cupboard to get the milk powder.

There was a cry. Lin Wan turned around. The can of milk powder was on the floor and the milk had spread all around.

“Oh no! It must have been on the edge. I have an unopened can. Let me get it for you.” Xu Xiaoxiao had deliberately dropped the can. Fortunately, there wasn’t much left.

In the broadcast room, everything was silent. No one knew that Xu Xiaoxiao had deliberately spilled the milk powder. But Lin Wan was suspicious.

‘How could it be knocked over like that suddenly?’ wondered Lin Wan. She felt that Li Zekai might be right. Lin Wan walked over and stepped on the spilled milk powder. It left a thick layer on the soles of her shoes.

Xu Xiaoxiao opened another can of milk powder and scooped a lot of it into Li Zekai’s cup. “Here.”

Li Zekai wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin Wan’s look.

“Thank you.” Lin Wan took Li Zekai home.

[It looks like there’s no problem with the milk powder. Otherwise, why would she pour it for Li Zekai?]

After making sure that Lin Wan and the rest had left, Xu Xiaoxiao cleaned up the milk powder on the ground and threw it into the garbage dump along with the can.

...

After cleaning up, she smiled with satisfaction. Fortunately, she was calm, otherwise, she would have been exposed. She learnt a lesson. In the future, she would not mix the sleeping pills in the can to save time.

Li Zekai hugged his cup and walked. “There’s definitely no problem with this milk powder.”

“Well, I have some of the old milk powder on the sole of my shoe.” Lin Wan pointed at her shoe.

Li Zekai had seen her step on the spilled milk powder. He had wanted to shout at her for destroying evidence. He hadn’t expected her to have a trick up her sleeves.

“Auntie, you’re pretty smart.”

Li Yanchen did not know why Li Zekai had dragged Lin Wan to Tutu’s house in such a hurry. He only saw the comments on the livestream later.

[Li Yanchen, your wife brought your son to Tutu’s house to ask for milk powder!]

[Lin Wan really doesn’t care what he eats.] f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

[Mr. Li, are you so stingy? You can’t even buy a can of milk powder for your son?]
