Chapter 37
No Longer Confident!
Pei Jiao: “?”
Why did it feel like her brother was very angry? What did she just say? She said that she would say “I’m willing” on behalf of the female guest nine, but her brother warned her!
“Brother, I—”
Pei Jingzhou asked in a low voice, “Where?”
“In…” Before she could finish explaining, Pei Jiao changed the topic. “In the main TV studio. It’s a live recording. Brother, do you want to come over?”
Just as she finished asking, Pei Jingzhou hung up. Pei Jiao listened to the busy tone on the phone with a blank expression and wondered what was wrong with this God of Fortune. She had not offended him recently, right?
At this moment.
Because Han Qianye suddenly went on stage, be it the host, the male guest, or the others on and off the stage, they were all surprised by this sudden “Objection segment”!
Some viewers were even thinking: Could this be a new segment added to the blind date show? Although they were shocked, they had to admit, it was quite exciting! ‘Mother-in-law’ personally said no!
When Li Xiwu saw this “audience” wearing a mask and sunglasses rushing up, she did not immediately recognize that she was Han Qianye. In addition, she had shouted “I object” just now, which was unlike Han Qianye’s usual noble voice.
At this moment, Han Qianye walked over and pulled Li Xiwu behind her. Li Xiwu was stunned. Immediately after, Han Qianye stood in front of Li Xiwu and looked up at the surprised and confused male guest opposite her. She said firmly, “I object to you holding hands.”
Lu Cheng asked carefully, “You are?”
Han Qianye raised her eyebrows and said firmly, “I’m her mother.”
At this moment, everyone who looked at Li Xiwu: ?
Li Xiwu: ?
The emotional analyst asked the host to ask what was going on. Yu Qingye walked over in a daze and removed the microphone. He lowered his voice and asked Li Xiwu, “Qiao Qiao, is she really your mother?”
Li Xiwu reacted quickly and replied without hesitation. “Yes.”
Li Xiwu did not recognize Han Qianye when she came on stage, but when she said “I’m her mother” just now, coupled with the close distance, Li Xiwu finally recognized whose voice it was and knew the identity of this masked hero.
Who else could it be but Han Qianye! She really did not expect Han Qianye to come on stage. She did not expect Han Qianye’s “I object” to save her the trouble of thinking about how to reject him.
Yu Qingye swallowed his saliva. “…Why did you call your mother over? There’s no such segment in the show.”
Li Xiwu raised her lips. “Consider it a new segment in the programme arrangements.”
Yu Qingye said, “That works?”
Li Xiwu said, “It’ll work.”
“Are you sure? If anything happens, you’ll have to take responsibility. There’s no preview for such a segment, so it should affect the program greatly.” Yu Qingye was most worried about this. It might even affect the reputation of the show after it aired.
Although Li Xiwu could not tell what Han Qianye was thinking, she knew that Han Qianye had always cared about her reputation. Even though she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, she still cared about her reputation when she spoke.
She first vouched for Han Qianye. “There won’t be any problems.”
“Alright then.” Yu Qingye turned around silently.
Meanwhile, Lu Cheng looked at the ‘mother-in-law’ who had appeared out of nowhere. His composure was fake, and his palms were sweating more than when he confessed. His fingertips scratched his brow. He wanted to ease the tension, but he didn’t know which words to say first.
Han Qianye frowned and sized up the male guest opposite her. Wasn’t he fully prepared to take down Li Xiwu just now? Why did this male guest become unconfident the moment she went on stage?
“Ahem!” She cleared her throat.
When Lu Cheng heard the cough, he immediately looked at Han Qianye. “Hello, Auntie.”
Han Qianye said in a critical tone, “You’re not suitable for my daughter.”
Lu Cheng was anxious. “Auntie, I know it’s our first time meeting and we don’t know each other very well, but I’m sincere to Miss Qiao. I hope Auntie can give me this chance.”
“Heh!” Han Qianye sneered.
Lu Cheng’s forehead was covered in sweat.
Han Qianye said in a lukewarm tone, “Hello, Mr. Number One. I was also touched when you confessed to my daughter just now. You’re indeed very outstanding and have good conditions in all aspects.”
Lu Cheng did not expect his ‘mother-in-law’ to praise him. He was very flattered. “Thank you.”
Han Qianye said, “Just being polite.”
Lu Cheng: “… …”
Just as Lu Cheng thought that there was a high probability that he still had a chance, he heard his ‘mother-in-law’ say, “However, there is one requirement that my daughter has to make clear now. This requirement is that the man has to be prepared to marry into my family.”
Lu Cheng: “?”
Li Xiwu: “…”
Han Qianye continued, “My daughter met a scumbag who wasn’t loyal in the past. That scumbag was quite rich. Ever since then, I told my daughter that if she were to fall in love again in the future, she would choose a man with an ordinary family background. Those who loved her enough could even marry into our family.”
Lu Cheng looked troubled. “But I’m my parents’ only son.”
Han Qianye’s voice was very serious. “We only have this daughter in our family.”
Lu Cheng: “… …”
A certain audience member in the audience turned around and looked at Pei Jiao. “Did you call her ‘Mom’ just now?”
Pei Jiao, who was watching the show excitedly, heard the question from the audience in front of her and casually made up a story. “I was picked up. The one above is her biological daughter.”
Audience: ???
On the stage, Li Xiwu tried her best to suppress the smile on her lips. In the next second, Han Qianye pulled her to her side. They were really like mother and daughter.
Han Qianye held Li Xiwu’s hand and acted well. “It’s not that you’re bad, but you’re too good. My daughter’s first love was an entrepreneur, and she was abandoned by him. As a mother, my heart aches for my daughter, so I naturally don’t want to see her take the same path again. As long as you’re willing to marry into our family, I can consider letting you date my daughter.”
Before Lu Cheng could say anything, Han Qianye paused for a moment before continuing, “The advantage of marrying into our family is that you don’t have to work hard to start a business anymore. You can inherit our family assets. However, the child has to take my daughter’s surname.”
Lu Cheng felt insulted. “Auntie, I think…”
Han Qianye interrupted, “Do you think it’s acceptable?”
Lu Cheng was about to explain, “No…”
Han Qianye said regretfully, “It seems that you and my daughter are really not fated.” With that, Han Qianye turned to look at Li Xiwu. “A melon that’s forcefully twisted won’t be sweet. Don’t eat him even if it’s dipped in sauce. Listen to Mom. You two are not fated to be together. You’re waiting for someone to inherit your family assets. Find someone who can inherit our family assets.”
Li Xiwu: “…”
Yu Qingye gulped when he heard this. With such conditions, what was the point of fighting?
Yu Qingye couldn’t help but raise his hand and ask weakly, “Auntie, Auntie, I know how to run home in the rain. I know how to play with my smartphone and not pick up anything on the ground to eat. Look, am I a possible candidate?”
