Lan Qingyue declined Chu Ying's invitation. The original owner's previous film had already finished filming, and she should have gone with the team to promote it. However, she was embroiled in numerous scandals, and appearing in the public eye could result in her being pelted with rotten eggs at any time. For her safety, the company did not include her name on the promotional list, and Lan Qingyue was happy to have some peace and quiet.
In the past few days, Axi has been bringing Liu Yuanyuan over every day to freeload in order to persuade Lan Qingyue to participate in the reality show, which has annoyed Lan Qingyue so much that she wants to punch him.
"Baby, are you really not going to consider that parent-child reality show? Anyway, Chu Chu has already been exposed, and the company doesn't seem to care about suppressing the trending topics. Why not take advantage of this buzz and accept the show? Baby, are you even listening to me?"
Ah Xi was so thirsty from talking that Lan Qingyue didn't reply at all. She was gnawing on a roasted duck leg and staring intently at the mukbang video on her phone.
"Baby!!!"
"I'm listening." Lan Qingyue glanced at him. "I think your idea is unrealistic. If the two elders knew that I was taking their precious children to a variety show, they would kill me."
In the past two years, Chu Chu has spent most of her time living in the old house, and her parents also pick her up and drop her off at kindergarten, so she hasn't had much contact with the original owner of the body.
The Chu family is one of the most prominent families in D City, yet the outside world is unaware of Chu Chu's existence. This shows how well they protect her.
"Mr. and Mrs. Chu are both well-educated and reasonable people. Why don't you go and discuss it with them? Maybe they will agree?"
Ever since Axi learned about this parent-child reality show, she really wanted Lan Qingyue to participate. Firstly, it would allow her to shed her persona, and secondly, it would expand her business—a win-win situation.
“Sigh…” Lan Qingyue lay on the coffee table, feeling apprehensive at the thought of Mr. Chu’s stern face and Mrs. Chu’s domineering manner.
Lan Qingyue glanced at her fair hands. Since she was attached to the original owner, she should follow her life trajectory. She wasn't good at acting, but she could do variety shows. The problem was bringing Chu Chu on variety shows. That was the issue.
Her mission here was to dispel Chu Chu's resentment, but she didn't know how long it would take. Money was essential for survival in this world, and Lan Qingyue's resolve wavered.
"Can't I find another child to team up with?"
Ah Xi couldn't believe his ears. He had talked until his mouth was dry and he had drunk several large glasses of water before finally moving Lan Qingyue, right?
"Baby, so you're saying you agree to go on the variety show?"
"……Um."
"That's great!" Asi was the happiest. "I'm going to call them and have them confirm your list."
"Where's the child? You haven't answered my question yet." Lan Qingyue glanced at her phone. The mukbang streamer was enjoying dessert, and the exquisite dessert whetted Lan Qingyue's appetite. She watched intently as the mukbang streamer devoured the food in a few bites.
“We’ll help you find someone. You should also talk to your in-laws. It would be best if they could bring Chuchu along, since that little cutie is so adorable and will definitely attract attention.” Axi explained the situation to Lan Qingyue while texting someone.

This was Lan Qingyue's second visit to the Chu family's old residence. Standing at the entrance of the garden-filled house, Lan Qingyue's heart pounded faster and faster. She couldn't help but turn around and look longingly at Axi and Liu Yuanyuan in the car. "Axi, why don't you come in with me?"
"No, no," Axi waved her pinky finger wildly like an emotionless tool, "Baby, keep going, we believe in you."
