Became a vicious male mother

56

right?

That couldn't be more correct.

But the stepmother he did in the Snow White fairy tale was someone who wanted Snow White's lungs and liver; he was someone who used poisoned ribbons, poisoned combs, and poisoned apples to try every means to take someone's life.

Under the intense and direct gaze from the side, Gu Xinglan moved her lips slightly, paused for a long time, and could only say, "That child is not something I can control."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuo seemed to have anticipated it.

Thinking of Li Hetai's taciturn nature, and considering Yu Yangcheng's firm stance against him calling his parents, which put him in an awkward position, Lin Shuo couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alright, let's leave this matter at that and talk about something else."

"In mid-July, the school will hold a gala to celebrate alumni who won first prize in an international music competition. This event is not mandatory, but it is a great platform for parent-child interaction and communication. Will you be coming?"

In previous years, wherever there was a gala performance, there would be Yu Jin, and wherever Yu Jin was, there would be Mr. Li, which puzzled him greatly.

Li Hetai is clearly the biological son of the Li family, yet he is treated like an illegitimate child.

Looking at the unmoved person on the sofa, Lin Shuo thought of the important purpose of his visit today and said, "Mr. Li comes to accompany little Yu Jin every year, and this year should be no exception. I would like you to bring He Tai along as well."

Let him?

Filming for the program began in mid-July.

He was a poor boy from an urban village, and he was going to take a rich young man to experience the life of a poor student.

If Li Hetai goes there, it means that he, dressed as a man, will also go there, not to mention a large group of photographers and the like.

The school can get publicity opportunities for free without spending money on advertising.

Gu Xinglan felt that the things she had participated in in the past were 100% impossible.

He can't just split himself in two, one half dressed as a woman and the other as a man, can he?

Just as Gu Xinglan hesitated, the person next to her added:

"To be honest, the school already knows that Li Hetai will be on TV, and they are giving him their full support."

"However, due to the nature of the program, we only accept changes to Li Hetai."

"What do you mean?" Gu Xinglan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

The only acceptable change is Le Ho Thai, meaning only Le Ho Thai is allowed to leave, but no new people are allowed to come in.

Isn't this something the program should have communicated with the school beforehand?

There's another crucial point: what use are these things, especially when he's dressed as a woman?

Do you expect him to whisper sweet nothings in Li Taihe's ear?

As he thought.

“Mr. Li is the investor in this program and would like you to communicate with him about related matters.” Lin Shuo glanced at the entrance of the hall, moved his buttocks to the side, and whispered, “The school is quite special. Admission not only requires an assessment of the family background, but also an evaluation of the parents, and the children are required to be proficient in at least two languages.”

What?

Elementary school is full of all this fancy stuff.

With a slight furrow in her brow, Gu Xinglan looked at the person next to her with displeasure.

"You expect someone under ten years old to be proficient in two languages?"

“Yes.” Lin Shuo nodded: “It’s an international school. It has children from China, France, Germany and other countries. English is the most basic language. This is to make the children’s school life happier and richer.”

The imbalance of educational resources is also a reflection of the gap between the rich and the poor.

Even though he was surprised, he couldn't say anything.

The world has never been fair. As long as there are people and human hearts, there will never be absolute fairness.

Gu Xinglan sighed: "This matter you mentioned is not my responsibility. I don't understand company matters."

His eyes were exceptionally clear, as calm as still water, as if they held no interest whatsoever in what he was saying.

"..."

Lin Shuo's eyes widened.

Still somewhat dazed, she softened her tone and said, "I'm not asking you to resolve this matter, I just want you to talk to Mr. Li about it."

He had heard some gossip about the Li family.

In particular, the head of the Li family was known for his asceticism, which led to his first wife living a life of widowhood. They had only one child after ten years of marriage, but after his first wife's death, he seamlessly took over the life of a commoner woman from the lower class.

Whether it's the pitiful first wife or the second wife who rises to prominence, they're just topics of conversation when they're bored.

When there's nothing to talk about, they'll bring it up and criticize it to give everyone something to talk about.

But no one told him that the mysterious Lady Xinli was such a stunning beauty.

He felt a sense of familiarity, an inexplicable warmth, as if the two of them had met somewhere before...

His thoughts drifted further and further away until Madam Li stood up, at which point Lin Shuo finally came to his senses.

"Please wait a moment..."

Do you have an older brother or a younger brother?

"No, you saw it wrong."

His voice was as cold as ice.

Soon, along with its delicate fragrance, it completely disappeared from the hall.

Lin Shuo stood there, racking his brains but still couldn't remember where he had seen that face before.

System: [How's it going with Fast and Furious?]

Here.

He had been feeling uneasy ever since the man surnamed Lin looked off.

He was so nervous that he was covered in cold sweat.

System: [Don't worry, host. Unless you're a key figure, your presence here will be weakened. After all, in men's clothing, you're just a nobody, less important than cannon fodder.]

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Won't others recognize you?"

System: [If you are active frequently, you will still be recognized. We cannot guarantee this; we can only minimize the presence of your male attire.]

Upon returning to the lobby.

There were no children in the seats, only Li Taihe in the main seat.

Li Taihe lowered his head slightly, holding a silver-white tablet in his hand.

The hall was dark, and due to the raging storm outside, the red and green lines on Li Taihe's face, especially his glasses, were reflected in the dim light. This was different from his usual aloof and languid demeanor, making him appear somewhat mysterious and unpredictable.

It even had a touch of the bizarre.

With a "click," all the lights came on.

Gu Xinglan was startled.

He didn't want to disturb this person, nor did he intend to turn on the light; he was planning to sneak away.

"Come and sit down, I've already had someone heat up your breakfast."

Li Taihe put away what he was holding, raised his hand and took off his glasses, his eyes, with their varying shades, revealed no emotion.

"How was your conversation?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan shook her head: "The school is having a party and they want me to bring Li Hetai along."

"Then do you want to go?"

"?" Gu Xinglan: "If you go, what will happen to the show?"

Li Taihe nodded: "So, just focus on the show and don't worry about school."

The conversation died...

Don't you want to know what the other person asked?

Gu Xinglan revealed the crucial point: "Didn't the program reach an agreement with the school? That school's admission requirements are too strict."

The people in the audience listened and pretended to think: "Isn't that also a highlight of the show?"

So he's even going to help Li Hetai get into school?

"My matter is minor." After all, Li Hetai is going to an ordinary school in the suburbs, and he can attend school there as long as the tuition is paid.

"But what about little Xu? Can you get him into a prestigious school?" After saying that, Gu Xinglan looked up at the person in the seat.

Just then, the maid came by pushing a small cart.

The bread topped with jam was still steaming hot, and the porridge next to it looked and smelled delicious.

Li Taihe held the bowl in front of Gu Xinglan, seemingly unfazed by the heat, and said in a calm tone, "What do you think?"

That means there's a way.

Talking to this person always feels like a subordinate reporting to a superior.

Gu Xinglan finally had something to do, so she quickly picked up a spoon and stirred the porridge, eating it in small bites without saying a word.

"After we eat, I'll take you to meet a few people."

Before you know it, there's a "clang" as the spoon hits the rim of the bowl, and the scalding hot porridge goes straight down your throat.

The scalding heat made Gu Xinglan's face contort in agony.
