I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways. “The fireworks you’ve seen before are also in the shape of golden chrysanthemums. You didn’t remember wrongly.”

Li You immediately laughed smugly. Seeing that she was smiling so happily,

Pei Jingzhou couldn’t help but call her name. “Li You.”

At this moment, Li You was looking up at the beautiful fireworks in the night sky. When she heard Pei Jingzhou call her, even though she could not see the fireworks anymore, she still retracted her gaze and turned to look at him.

“Huh?”

Pei Jingzhou said to her under the fireworks, “We’re engaged today.”

The sound of fireworks did not drown out Pei Jingzhou’s voice. His words, “We’re engaged today,” clearly entered Li You’s ears. How could Li You not respond to such a formal sentence from him? Hence, she clasped her hands and said, “Congratulations.”

Pei Jingzhou smiled gently. ‘Congratulations, fiancée.”

That word “fiancée” really landed on Li You’s mind. It was still so pleasant to hear. She gently pressed down on Pei Jingzhou’s arms and stood on tiptoe. As he was almost out of reach, Pei Jingzhou knew what she was going to do and slowly lowered his head.

Li You raised her neck and took the initiative to kiss Pei Jingzhou’s lips. They embraced and kissed affectionately as that largest cluster of fireworks bloomed in the night sky and formed the letters [LOVE].

Li Huaisheng took out his cell phone, but he was too embarrassed to take a photo. After clicking on the camera, he handed the phone to his wife. “Do the recording. It’s not a bad idea to make such a precious and important scene into their wedding vlog in the future.”

To be honest, MO Zhu was too embarrassed to take this scene. However, when she heard her husband say this, she immediately felt that there was a need to record it. It would indeed be good to make it a wedding vlog on the day of the two children’s wedding.

Hence, MO Zhu raised her cell phone and recorded the entire scene of Li You and Pei Jingzhou hugging and kissing.

After the engagement, Li You followed her parents back to Country T.

Her studies would be completed in more than a year. When her studies were completed, she could return to China to work and get married to Pei Jingzhou. At that time, Pei Jingzhou would no longer have to be so tiring. She could also accompany him for a long time.

She planned her future very well and looked forward to every day she planned in the future, But in the end, plans could not keep up with changes. What happened to her a year later directly reversed her life trajectory and fate…

Time flew.

This day had finally arrived.

Li You had just finished her translation work at the press conference. When she came out with Father Li, he received a call from the hospital. Li You could not hear the contents of the call. She only saw the smile on Father Li’s face slowly fade.

The call ended.

Li Huaishengs expression darkened, and Li You frowned. She asked worriedly, “Dad, did something happen?”

Li Huaisheng did not say anything to Li You. When he called Gu Lanshi over in a low voice, he instructed, “In the afternoon, you will represent the embassy in the negotiations.”

Gu Lanshi was a little surprised. “Me?”

Li Huaisheng asked, “Can you handle it well?”

Originally, Li Huaisheng was the one who personally participated in the negotiation. Now, he had no choice but to let Gu Lanshi take over. He had something very important to do and had to leave to deal with it.

Gu Lanshi naturally sensed it too. In order to let his teacher not have too many worries, he nodded and agreed. “No problem, teacher. I can handle it.”

Li Huaisheng nodded. “Then I’ll leave first. Remember to bring Little You along when you return to the embassy later. Don’t leave her here alone.”

Gu Lanshi agreed. “Okav.”

There was no need for Li Huaisheng to remind him. Gu Lanshi would remember to bring Li You along wherever he went. Especially since his teacher had left early today, as her senior brother, he naturally had to be responsible for bringing his junior sister back.

Li You watched her father leave. She did not even know why he was in such a hurry to leave. For a moment, she was worried. “Senior Gu, do you know why my father was in such a hurry to leave?”

Gu Lanshi shook his head. “I’m not sure, but Teacher left in such a hurry. There must be something very important.”

“That goes without saying. Only something very important would make my father leave in such a hurry. I just don’t know what it is. Whether it’s serious or not, whether it has anything to do with Mom. Recently, I keep feeling that Mom’s health isn’t very good. When I care about her, she says it’s nothing…”

At this point, when Li You turned to look at Gu Lanshi, her tone was muffled. “Ever since Mom and Dad returned from the neighboring countries a month ago, she often looks very pale. I said that I wanted to take her to the hospital for a checkup, but I was always brushed off. Senior Gu, do you think my parents deliberately hid something from me?”

Gu Lanshi pursed his lips in silence. Did the teacher and his wife deliberately hide anything from Li You? To be honest, he really did not know.

However, he also realized that his teacher had been distracted when he was working recently, especially in the past month or so of work. In the past, even if there was such a situation, it would only be for two or three days at most. And that was because he had been scolded by his teacher’s wife.

This time he didn’t know why.

“Senior Brother Gu…?” Li You frowned and shouted.

Gu Lanshi came back to his senses and quickly said to Li You, “Perhaps you’re thinking too much. Besides, in my opinion, you should be the one in a bad state. You’ve been participating in the hosting of the literary event for more than a week. You should be tired, but you don’t think so.”

“Really?” Li You was skeptical and muttered to herself, “But I feel quite relaxed these two days. I’m not tired at all.”

Gu Lanshi smiled. “See, I told you you should be tired, but you don’t think so yourself.”

Li You did not refute. Thinking about it, Gu Lanshi’s words made sense.

Perhaps this was it?

She hoped so too!

She was the one who was so tired, so tired she didn’t know it, that she had some bad fantasies. She always expected something bad to happen. She waved away these terrible intuitions and told herself it was just an illusion.

She should rest well when she gets home today.

After work at night, Li You came out of the embassy and saw Pei Jingzhou waiting for her..
