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

Chapter 357: Sick Yaoyao

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

These words stumped Li Xiwu.

The female friends she was familiar with all had partners. Li Xiwu did not know much about the colleagues she was unfamiliar with. It was not appropriate for her to introduce them to He Wang.

Pei Jingzhou could tell that Li Xiwu was in a difficult position. He helped her out and said, “Don’t worry about him. He can’t have any weaknesses now.”

Li Xiwu was surprised. “Why?”

Pei Jingzhou placed the peeled prawns in Youyou’s bowl and said, “He’s preparing to fight for the family assets now. There are countless pairs of eyes on him both openly and secretly. In a situation where he can’t take care of himself, he fell into a relationship. Not only is he not in the mood to fight for the family assets, but he also has a weakness that can be threatened at any time.”

He Wang tapped his cheek with the tip of his tongue. “Fourth Brother, with your words, I’m afraid I won’t have anything to look forward to in my life.”

Pei Jingzhou looked up at He Wang coldly. “When you control the He family and are strong enough to protect the people you care about, how can you not look forward to it?!”

That made sense. Moreover, they were brothers. Pei Jingzhou would naturally give He Wang the best advice. Of course, these were only some suggestions. Whether He Wang would listen was another matter. It was not within Pei Jingzhou’s persuasion range.

He Wang put down the fruit juice and nodded meaningfully. “Fourth Brother makes sense.”

Li Xiwu could tell that He Wang had something on his mind. She had little contact with He Wang. Li Xiwu didn’t know much about He Wang’s life circle, but Qiao Qiao knew a little more than her, because Qiao Qiao had some contact with He Wang.

Although this contact had originated from her in the beginning,

After the meal, He Wang bade Youyou farewell before leaving. Pei Jingzhou sent him to the door and the two of them chatted about some things that were related to the He family. Pei Jingzhou wanted He Wang to be at ease and relax.

With Pei Jingzhou’s help, He Wang had a high chance of winning. However, if he still lost in the end, He Wang would admit that he was not capable enough. After all, those who were eyeing the He family were not to be trifled with.

After He Wang left, Pei Jingzhou came in and closed the door.

Li Xiwu walked over and asked, “Has He Wang been in a difficult situation recently?”

Pei Jingzhou nodded. “There are wolves in front and tigers behind. The He family is a ruthless place.”

Hearing this, Li Xiwu sighed. “The He family is also a noble family in the capital. They have several branches of the family, and all of them have ulterior motives. Now that Old Master He is about to die, although the He family looks calm on the surface, they are already fighting inside.”

Pei Jingzhou hugged Li Xiwu. “He Wang won a lot this time.”

Li Xiwu looked up. “Fourth Brother, you plan to help him with all his might?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “In the past, he took a carefree attitude when fighting for the family assets. It didn’t matter whether he fights or not.”

Is that so? However, in Li Xiwu’s opinion, He Wang’s desire to fight for the family assets this time was clearly ambitious and determined.

Pei Jingzhou knew what Li Xiwu was thinking from her expression. He smiled and said, “Guess why he thought it through this time and wanted to fight with all his might?”

Li Xiwu knew that He Wang was single, so she didn’t think in terms of emotions. “Those people from the He family are all scheming. Anyone who participated in the family assets competition and didn’t fight for it didn’t end up well. He Wang probably paved the most solid path for himself.” “There’s another reason,” Pei Jingzhou said meaningfully.

Li Xiwu was a little curious. “What other reason?”

Pei Jingzhou held Li Xiwu and walked towards Youyou. As they walked, he said, “What I said to him at the dining table just now was not only a persuasion, but also a reminder.”

Li Xiwu instantly understood and had an unspoken mutual understanding with Pei Jingzhou.

—So He Wang already had someone he wanted to protect with all his might.

That night, Youyou slept next to Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou.

However, this was her first time in a new place, and the brand new environment made Youyou a little unfamiliar with the bed. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and shouted for Grandma Lin.

At this moment, Li Xiwu was still washing up.

Pei Jingzhou comforted Youyou. “Grandma Lin is still packing her luggage. She’ll move over tomorrow.”

Youyou asked, “Can I see Grandma Lin tomorrow?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Yes, tomorrow.”

He had already contacted Auntie Lin, who was taking care of Youyou. It was true that she could not come over today, but she had given him the address. Pei Jingzhou had sent someone to pick up Auntie Lin tomorrow morning.

Youyou felt a little more at ease and stopped making a fuss. She placed her feet on Pei Jingzhou and swayed her chubby feet. “I want to hear the story of the little tadpoles looking for their mother.”

There were no children’s books at home in advance, so Pei Jingzhou took the tablet and looked for a bedtime story. He asked Youyou, “Why do you want to hear this story?”

Youyou looked up. “Because the tadpoles found their mother.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “It seems that you’ve heard this story before.”

Youyou nodded. “Brother told me.”

At this moment, Li Xiwu came out of the bathroom and happened to hear this conversation between father and daughter. She said, “Let’s tell this story. Youyou likes to hear it.”

Youyou cheered and danced. Her little feet swayed even more happily. After coaxing Youyou to sleep, Li Xiwu couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. She knew that Pei Jingzhou was not asleep either. She said softly, “Fourth Brother, let’s send Youyou to kindergarten together tomorrow.”

Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes. “Okay.”

Although they couldn’t fall asleep and the two of them had a lot to talk about, they were afraid of waking Youyou, who had finally fallen asleep. The couple had an unspoken mutual understanding and didn’t say anything else.

The night was warm and peaceful.

The next day.

Pei Jingzhou was dressed very formally. The first time he sent Youyou to kindergarten, he did it as a father. Pei Jingzhou took this first time very seriously.

Li Xiwu had personally tied his tie for him. It was an exquisite Windsor knot. Auntie Lin was brought over very early. She brought Youyou’s school bag and some clothes. The rest were something else. They would probably be able to move them all over at noon.

After that, Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou sent Yaoyao to kindergarten as parents.

Meanwhile, in a mansion in Country T’s Chunwu, it was very cold.

Madam Di Xin did not sleep the entire night, and her eyes were filled with fatigue. The servant went forward and persuaded softly, “Madam, go and rest for a while.’

Madam Di Xin looked up at the bed. Yaoyao looked like he was in a deep sleep and had yet to wake up. Madam Di Xin raised her hand to rub her temples and asked, “Has his fever subsided?”

The servant replied, “It did. It subsided at four in the morning. Young Master is in a deep sleep now. Go rest for a while. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Madam Di Xin sighed. “He was born prematurely to begin with. His health has been poor since he was young and he fell sick from time to time. This time, he even went on a hunger strike. It’s really harmful.”

With the help of the servants, Madam Di Xin slowly stood up. At the same time, Yaoyao, who was sleeping on the bed, opened his eyes, but no one realized that he was awake. Madam Di Xin was helped out of the door. After walking for a while, she still felt a little worried and wanted to guard it personally. She waved her hand. “I’m not going to rest. Help me back.”

At this moment, the servant said, “Madam, Young Master is awake.”

Madam Di Xin turned around. Yaoyao, who had quietly gotten up, was sitting alone on the threshold in his thin undergarment.. He raised his head and looked gloomily at the distant east…
