I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 164 - 158: Chen Xixi Gets with a Tycoon and Becomes a Mother Without Pain?

Chapter 164: Chapter 158: Chen Xixi Gets with a Tycoon and Becomes a Mother Without Pain?

Li Youjia certainly knew who "Qiqi’s mother" was, as Chen Xixi was now the one calling out with the most authority here.

Lose in authority to Chen Xixi?

Although she didn’t like to hear this, what harm could there be in losing such a laughable matter to Chen Xixi.

Sure enough, a wild girl from the countryside, with no depth at all, all impetuous and restless.

Thinking this, she didn’t take the bratty kid’s words seriously anymore.

Right after that, Li Youjia suddenly realized something and quietly lowered her head to ask, "Congcong, is she Qiqi’s mother?"

She remembered Chen Xixi had always been single, how could she suddenly have such a big child?

Xu Yichen heard this and his brow furrowed instantly, his gaze shifting from what was in front of him to Congcong, silently waiting for Congcong’s answer.

Congcong was also a bit bewildered by the question, and he hesitated before honestly replying, "She should be, but I’ve never seen Qiqi’s mother, maybe she’s Qiqi’s aunt!"

At first, Li Youjia thought that Chen Xixi had managed to snag some rich tycoon and had taken a shortcut directly into a painless stepmother role, but after Congcong’s response, she became somewhat unsure.

She glanced back at Chen Xixi and, seeing her clothes and pants of unknown brands, became even more certain that Chen Xixi couldn’t possibly be Qiqi’s stepmother.

Qiqi was wearing high-end children’s brands, definitely not from an ordinary family, and if Chen Xixi really became a rich person’s stepmother, how could she possibly dress like that to accompany a child to an event? It would be too embarrassing for the child.

Listening, Xu Yichen’s frown deepened. In his memory, the Chen family had moved to their village over a decade ago and he had never seen any particularly rich relatives of the Chen family.

He thought for a moment with a furrowed brow and then turned his gaze towards Chen Xixi, only to meet Li Youjia’s eyes.

Li Youjia’s face showed a bit of Unhappiness again: "What are you looking at? Looking at your childhood friend again?"

Xu Yichen didn’t want to start an argument with her over some trivial matter, so he said perfunctorily, "No."

"You kept saying you couldn’t contact her before, and now you’ve run into her, remember to tell her about that thing."

Xu Yichen raised an eyebrow slightly, he had been busy with work during the past few days, and Li Youjia had entrusted him with so many tasks that for a moment he couldn’t recall which one it was, so he asked with a puzzled expression, "What thing?"

Li Youjia’s mood, which had just softened, began to turn Unhappy again, and she said with little patience, "Introduce my friend to her! You forgot!"

Xu Yichen and Chen Xixi joined Shengjin Company one after the other.

After Chen Xixi joined the company, Xu Yichen took extra care of her following his parents’ instructions, so almost everyone in the company knew that Xu Yichen and Chen Xixi were childhood friends from the same village.

At first, people gossiped about their relationship behind their backs, but later when Xu Yichen started dating Director Li’s daughter, it gradually wasn’t mentioned anymore, and everybody understood they were just looking after each other as neighbors.

But Li Youjia didn’t see it that way.

She was especially sensitive about Xu Yichen, the good-looking childhood friend, especially since men couldn’t control themselves, and having such a pretty childhood friend always around him, Xu Yichen being particularly attentive to this childhood friend, who knows if Xu Yichen would suddenly develop other feelings over time.

Li Youjia was too insecure.

Afterward, she had always wanted Chen Xixi to leave their company. As long as she was far away, she would naturally feel at ease.

Otherwise, she couldn’t sleep well every night.

After Chen Xixi resigned with the joint effort of her and Xu Yichen, although Xu Yichen didn’t say it outright, he was still secretly helping Chen Xixi by contacting new companies to find a new job.

Perhaps it was because his parents had instructed him to, in case Chen Xixi encountered any problems alone in Jiang City, things would be bad. Without settling Chen Xixi down, he definitely couldn’t rest easy.

So, she put some thought into introducing a boyfriend to Chen Xixi. With a boyfriend, then everything wouldn’t have to rely on Xu Yichen, her childhood friend.

If this tactic worked, she could rest easy for the time being.

The friend she introduced to Chen Xixi wasn’t really her friend. She just said so to Xu Yichen to make it sound more reliable.

In reality, this man was someone her friend had met on a blind date and didn’t take a liking to.

If she were to really introduce someone from her own circle of friends, wouldn’t it just end up with Chen Xixi hovering around Xu Yichen again?

Then, with every little issue that came up, Xu Yichen would intervene.

She wasn’t that foolish.

She had checked out this man too; his prospects weren’t bad, and compared to Chen Xixi’s family background, Chen Xixi was quite out of his league—the arrangement was also a way for her to make up to Chen Xixi for losing her job.

With this settled, she wouldn’t owe anything to Chen Xixi anymore.

Xu Yichen nodded slightly, his face betraying no emotion: "Hmm, got it."

Li Youjia leaned a bit towards Xu Yichen and said anxiously in a soft voice, "Pay more attention, alright? My friend is a really good catch. If you don’t act fast, other girls will snatch him up!"

Xu Yichen’s expression remained indifferent, and it was unclear how much he absorbed. He nodded and said, "Hmm, okay."

Beside Li Youjia, Chen Xixi followed Teacher Liu’s lead, shouting slogans with fervor and passion: "No. 1 Middle School! Extraordinary! Bravely forge ahead! Accomplish great things!"

Standing in front of her, Lu Ziqi was also moved by her enthusiasm, seriously waving his little fists and shouting the slogans with her.

[Hahaha! Chen Xixi is the most enthusiastic parent in shouting slogans!]

[The other parents are too embarrassed to chant such cringey slogans. Only Chen Xixi is so unrestrained and cooperative with the teacher. I reckon that if they’re going to be so shy and reserved, they might as well just stay at home.]

[Chen Xixi is definitely uninhibited, she is someone who wouldn’t bat an eyelid even when queuing up with elderly folks for eggs!] ƒreewebɳovel.com

[Qiqi shouting slogans with a serious face is really cute, I wanna squeeze him!]

After shouting the slogans, Teacher Liu organized the group. All the parents and children started to watch the performance by the older kids.

With no children of their own on stage, the parents began to gather in small groups to chat.

A few women, dressed in designer clothes and carrying luxury limited edition handbags, discussed their children’s education or politely talked about their recent busyness, apparently all wealthy socialites from the same circle.

One of the parents looked towards Li Youjia and asked with a smile, "Why didn’t Mommy Congcong come?"

Li Youjia smiled politely and generously: "My sister had some business at the company, so she couldn’t make it."

She had just accompanied Xu Yichen on a business trip to Hai City and helped out along the way, also hoping to cultivate a relationship with Xu Yichen and that he would consider marriage sooner after seeing the adorable children.

Otherwise, with Xu Yichen typically so busy with work, and the two of them having argued frequently over Chen Xixi, their relationship had suffered. Now that they had finally managed to push Chen Xixi out of the company, she wanted to use the business trip as an opportunity to travel and mend their relationship. Little did she know, they would run into Chen Xixi again!

Really like a bad penny that keeps turning up!
