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

Touched by Li Xiwu

Li Xiwu had been avoiding contact with others since she came in.

Because Qiao Qiao had also said that she had not received any script arrangements, there were almost no scenes for tonight’s recording. She just needed to be a quiet shill. But even so, Li Xiwu was still worried about being recognized by others, so she tried her best to avoid contact with others.

Unexpectedly, the director found out first. She sweated. Following Yu Qingye’s words, the people around her quickly began to discuss her—

“She really does look like that Li Xiwu.”

“Which Li Xiwu? Who? A celebrity?”

“Mother-in-Law Joy! Didn’t you watch Mother-in-Law Joy? This time, Mother-in-Law Joy is doing a live broadcast of the second season. Li Xiwu’s culinary skills are amazing. I really like this group of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.”

“A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show? Doesn’t that mean she’s married? Why is she attending a blind date show when she’s married?”

“What’s there to be surprised about? So what if she’s married? In any case, we’re all shills. Perhaps they are not the real mother and daughter-in-law in that show. They might not even know each other in private.”

“Damn! I accidentally heard some gossip!”

The chatter reached Li Xiwu’s ears. She listened calmly and said nothing.

“Why are you shouting! Why are you shouting!” Director Yu Qingye came back and said at the top of his voice, “She’s Qiao Qiao. Our show has been supporting her for a long time. Some time ago, she went to change her face. Perhaps that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show has been quite popular recently. The plastic surgeon happened to watch that show, so he fixed Qiao Qiao up according to the template of the guests in it. What’s there to be surprised about?”

Li Xiwu: “…”

Yu Qingye spoke very seriously. He hadn’t expected his words to draw so much speculation from her. As soon as he spoke, the mouths of the people stopped.

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Yu Qingye shouted, “It’s time to go on stage.”

Li Xiwu walked forward in order. People passing by turned to look at her.

“When you look at it like that, don’t you think it doesn’t look so similar?”

“I have to say, plastic surgery is amazing these days.”

“Li Xiwu is a celebrity manager after all. How could she have the time to be on this blind date show? Besides, Li Xiwu is a cold beauty. She… How does she look like a cold beauty? But that smoky makeup is quite good.”

“When I saw Mother-in-Law Joy, I liked Li Xiwu’s appearance. I’ve already reserved her face for my next life. It seems that I don’t have to wait for my next life to use it in this life. Help me ask which plastic surgery hospital she went to.”

“Remember to share it in the group if you find out.”

“Got it.”

She was already ahead of them. The discussion drifted away.

Li Xiwu took out her phone and sent Qiao Qiao a WeChat message: [Find an authoritative plastic surgery hospital and send it to the group chat.]

Soon, Qiao Qiao replied: [New business?]

Li Xiwu typed: [The director praised me for my success in changing my face. Everyone wants to know about the plastic surgery hospital that changed my face.]

Qiao Qiao: [This new business is not bad! I’ve done a full set of acting. I expected to be asked. I’ll talk to the plastic surgery hospital I know first. The commission is eight for you and two for me.]

Li Xiwu suppressed a smile. [You’re welcome. Let’s earn money together. Fifty-fifty.]

Qiao Qiao sent a voice message: [Daddy!]

–

The entire recording studio played metal-wind-rich music. It was a little noisy. Han Qianye has been frowning since she came in. Beside her, Pei Jiao asked lazily, “Mom, why did you suddenly think of bringing me to watch a blind date show? If you want to find me a boyfriend, you should sign me up to participate.”

Han Qianye said, “Shut up.”

Pei Jiao said, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”

Han Qianye took a deep breath and felt very annoyed. The metal music at the show was annoying her, and the chattering of Pei Jiao was also annoying her. It was all so annoying. Why was there no such noisy trouble around Li Xiwu?!

On the stage, Yu Qingye began to warm up the venue.

“Good evening, everyone. I’m the host, Yu Qingye! What you’re watching is the love show ‘Palpitation Light’ created by Cloud View. We only provide encounters, not arranged love. If you’re still single and looking forward to a perfect love match, come sign up for our show.”

Next, the two emotional analysts below the stage greeted everyone. After introducing them, he got to the point.

Yu Qingye held up the microphone. “Alright, we will now invite the twenty most attractive single female guests tonight.”

As the host finished speaking, the atmosphere of the entire venue reached its peak. The rhythm of metal motion music accompanied the appearance of the female guest. There was a round of applause from the audience.

Han Qianye immediately saw Li Xiwu. She had clearly changed her dress and put on some smoky makeup. There were also so many beautiful female guests, but she recognized Li Xiwu at a glance.

“Mom!” Pei Jiao’s shocked shout shocked Han Qianye.

Han Qianye turned to look at Pei Jiao. “What’s wrong?”

Pei Jiao raised her hand to her mouth and said loudly, “You’re not planning to find Brother a woman on this show, right?”

Han Qianye said, “You’re thinking too much.”

Pei Jiao leaned back. “They aren’t as good-looking as Sister-in-law.”

Han Qianye said, “I think so too.” After saying this, Han Qianye was stunned for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

After the 20 female guests stood in their positions, Yu Qingye said in a clear voice, “Welcome, 20 beautiful single female guests. Alright, let’s welcome the male guests tonight.”

Dynamic metal music filled the room again. After the first male guest went on stage, he was greeted with enthusiastic applause from the audience. Not only below the stage, but the female guests on stage were also very excited.

Because the first male guest was very handsome!

On the stage, Li Xiwu felt a little cold. Although it was already cold weather, there were many people in the studio, so it was inevitable that the smell was heavy. The air conditioner was on in the ceiling.

She was bored and cold and was not in the mood to look at the audience. She did not know that Han Qianye had brought Pei Jiao here.

She noticed that the first male guest was indeed quite handsome. He was also a mature boy. He was very tall, probably 1.85 meters. His face was handsome, and he had a beard. It was a mature and charming style.

The female guests on both sides were already stirring.

After watching the male guest introduce himself, the female guests were so excited that they wanted to confess immediately. It had to be said that male guest number one was indeed very capable. He was handsome and had his own company. He was simply in high demand.

“The ninth female guest.”

...

Number nine!

It took Li Xiwu two or three seconds to realize that number nine was herself. Caught off guard, Li Xiwu looked in the direction of the voice.

It was Male Guest Number One shouting for her.

At this moment, the camera landed on Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu smiled calmly and said in a calm voice, “Hello.”

Male guest number one fixed his gaze on Li Xiwu and asked, “May I ask what requirements female guest number nine has for her future partner?”

There was meaningful laughter from the audience.

Han Qianye’s ears were sharp. She heard the audience member in front of her say to his friend, “Can you tell? The first male guest is attracted to the ninth female guest.”
