MO Yanâs words made Li Xiwu momentarily speechless. She could have just replied, âI donât know how to take care of children.â But this sentence hung on her lips for a long time because the image of Yaoyao appeared in her mind. She misses that little pitiful person very much. She couldnât wait to see him.
If not for the fact that she had to be monitored by Pei Jingzhou for two days, she would have already taken a flight to Country T.
As for agreeing to Han Qianyeâs trip to the Arctic, she would probably have to postpone it because she did not want to delay her trip to Country T. She had to figure everything out as soon as possible.
MO Yan did not hear Li Xiwuâs answer for a long time. Just as she was about to urge her, Guan Suling stood up and walked to MO Yanâs side. She said to MO Yan, âYour mouth is really good at talking.â
MO Yan smiled foolishly. âGrandma, I was just asking.â
âThatâs not what youâre asking.â Guan Sulingâs tone was a little serious.
âAlthough my darling is married, she hasnât had any plans to have a child in the past two years. Sheâs not even Drepared to have a child, so where did she get the experience of raising a child? You should have thought before you speak.â MO Yan did not dare to say anything after being scolded by Guan Suling.
It was normal for an elder to lecture a junior, but because of her, Li Xiwu had no choice but to mention it. âGrandma, MO Yan and I are talking about scripts and variety shows. She wanted me to give pertinent suggestions, so we happened to come to this topic. She was just asking.â
When Guan Suling heard this, she nodded and said to MO Yan, âDonât give your cousin a problem.â
MO Yanâs heart ached. âGot it, Grandma.â
The words âyouâre really biasedâ were on MO Yanâs lips. She did not dare to say it out loud, afraid that she would make Grandma unhappy and the atmosphere would become very stiff.
Actually, the reason why MO Yan felt sad was that Guan Suling usually had the same expression to most people. She was serious, rigid, and unapproachable.
Anyone who saw her would think that Guan Sulingâs personality was like this.
However, Guan Suling was completely different from Li Xiwu. When she saw Li Xiwu, she was always kind and amiable, treasuring her and doting on her.
However, MO Yan only felt sad for a few seconds. It was not to the extent of envy, because she knew that there was no need. She had everything, and Li Xiwu had already lost so much..
At least Grandma was smiling more and more every day. It was the best thing for her.
âCousin.â MO Yan adapted to calling Li Xiwu Cousin. âGrandma said just now that you and your husband wonât have children in the next few years. Is that true?â
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. âThatâs hard to say.â
MO Yan grinned. âHard to say? Does that mean youâll have children at any time?â
Li Xiwu didnât say yes or no, but her unspoken expression said it all.
âActually, the process of giving birth is quite hard.â As MO Yan spoke, she raised her hand and scratched her head with a frustrated expression. âNot to mention having a child, itâs like taking care of a child will cost me my life. Besides, I donât even have a boyfriend and was invited to participate in this parent-child variety show. I rejected it at first, but my manager said that this show is very good and has a chance of becoming as popular as Mother-in-Law
Joy.â
Mother-in-Law Joyâs success made many capitalists target this live-stream method. Therefore, they wanted to continue replicating Mother-in-Law Joyâs success.
Li Xiwu said to Mo Yan, âYouâre on the rise now. The variety show can indeed bring you a lot of exposure, but donât ask your manager to plan it for you. If you really think you can go on it, then go on it. In addition, you have to remember that youâre an artist. Your goal is different from me participating in the show as a commoner. I suggest you get your manager to ask in advance who else the production team will invite. If the other party is more famous than you, I suggest you donât accept it, lest you become a foil.â
MO Yan was enlightened. âThatâs right. If the production team invites a guest who is more popular and more famous than me, Iâll really become a foil. Iâm a very important artist in the rising period. I canât be suppressed.â
Li Xiwu nodded. âYes.â
Li Xiwuâs words really reminded MO Yan. MO Yan was very happy. She praised Li Xiwu a few times and mocked her manager. âYouâre both managers, my manager is more experienced than you. But sheâs not even as detailed and considerate as you.â
Li Xiwu couldnât take the praise. âA bystander can see better. If my artist encountered your current situation, I wouldnât have a clue for a while. Itâs easier to think about it when it didnât happen beside me.â
MO Yan snorted. âCousin, youâre too humble.â
Li Xiwu smiled. Actually, she wasnât too humble. It was indeed just a
bystanderâs perspective. But in the end, it was not Li Xiwuâs call whether MO Yan will continue to film dramas or variety shows.
Now, MO Yan was asking for Li Xiwuâs opinion. However, she wanted Li Xiwu to help her make a decision. In the end, MO Yan was the one who made the decision. She was no longer a newcomer. Her popularity and status now gave her a certain right to speak. Her manager would not interfere with her decisions.
At this moment, MO Yan looked at Li Xiwu hopefully, waiting for her opinion.
Li Xiwu even mentioned it. âReferring to the previous parent-child variety show, the discussion and popularity after the broadcast are very high. However, if the core of this parent-child variety show is similar to the previous parent-child variety show, you have to consider it carefully. I remember that all the dramas and variety shows produced by Nanjia have a good reputation. This time, if they innovate and let the parent-child variety show sublimate the core again, as long as there are no guests more famous than you, you can accept it.â
âOkay, Iâll listen to you.â MO Yan wouldnât really listen to advice, but if it was someone she trusted, she would listen.
Li Xiwu nodded. âItâs just a suggestion. Itâs up to you to decide if you want to participate in the end. Besides, with your current status, you have to consider it carefully.â
MO Yan nodded. âIâll talk to my manager when I get back.â
MO Yan was in a good mood. She looked straight at Li Xiwu and said, âI didnât expect you to be so outstanding in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs back then and so powerful as a manager. If only I had recognized you earlier, but youâve changed so much.â
Although Li Xiwu was also in her teens when she followed her parents overseas, she still had baby fat on her face at that time, and her personality was different from now.
In addition, Li Xiwuâs face had been injured during the turmoil in Country T and her appearance had been repaired. This way, it would be even more difficult to recognize her as the previous Li You.
Li Xiwu was not familiar with MO Yan yet, so she did not tell her that she had done facial repair.
Guan Suling did not let MO Yan chat with Li Xiwu for too long. Afraid that MO Yanâs chattering would annoy Li Xiwu, she stopped MO Yan at the right time. Soon, the entire ward fell silent.
It was almost noon when Guan Suling booked a private room in Qionglou Restaurant. The group went over for lunch. They would return to the hospital after dinner.
In the afternoon, MO Yan was in a hurry to dub for her new drama, so she did not follow her back to the hospital. Her manager drove her away.
Li Xiwu should meet Gu Lanshi in the afternoon as agreed. But it was clearly impossible to go. Not only would she not go, but she also would not send Gu Lanshi a message or call. She wanted to pretend that she did not know anything and wait until she was discharged.
Since Gu Lanshi had plans to see her alone, he would definitely wait..
