”Sorry, I can’t.”

　　”My family’s Liye is lazy, and I am used to skipping classes and exams. I am lucky to be ranked second in the class this time.”

　　”I am not qualified to take care of your niece and help her improve her academic performance…”

　　Qin Qingqing read out the required plot lines conscientiously.

　　When Zuo Xiangwan heard Qin Qingqing’s words, she couldn’t hold back and showed an expression of “as expected”.

　　But the next second, she frowned and put on a “regretful” expression.

　　”ah……”

　　It seems that this ridiculous biological mother is just as the protagonist system said: she hates and treats Lu Liye harshly.

　　Otherwise, why would she belittle him like this?

　　Zuo Xiangwan thought so.

　　Thinking of this, she spoke again.

　　”How could that be?”

　　”Although your son is ranked second in the class this time, he has always been first in the past!”

　　“He’s very qualified.”

　　“…”

　　Qin Qingqing followed the plot and gave Zuo Xiangwan a noncommittal smile.

　　Zuo Xiangwan continued her efforts.

　　”So, can you please let your son help my niece with her homework and help her with her studies?”

　　These sincere words and hopeful eyes seemed to be just for the niece’s studies.

　　But in fact, Zuo Xiangwan knew:

　　Lu Liye and Qin Qingqing have a bad relationship, so it is impossible for him to listen to Qin Qingqing.

　　She asked this just to get the next step of information.

　　As expected, Qin Qingqing spoke without emotion, just following the plot——

　　”I can’t convince Lu Liye.”

　　The dark light in Zuo Xiangwan’s eyes could hardly be hidden – here we are! It’s now!

　　She spoke decisively.

　　”What about Lu Bai… Where is President Lu?”

　　”He is Liye’s father, so he should be closer to Liye than you are, right?”

　　”You just need to ask him for help.”

　　She mentioned Lu Bai in this way; in addition to testing the relationship between Lu Bai and Lu Liye, she was also testing the relationship between Lu Bai and Qin Qingqing.

　　She believed that this was the root cause of why Lu Bai did not divorce his wife and remarry.

　　”he?”

　　”Yes, he has a very good relationship with Li Ye.”

　　Qin -Plot tool man- Qingqing, paused here.

　　And continue…

　　He recited the prescribed plot lines without any emotion and indifference.

　　“But he doesn’t have a good relationship with me.”

　　”I can’t ask him for help.”

　　A dark light flashed across Zuo Xiangwan’s eyes again!

　　really.

　　The relationship between Lu Bai and Qin Qingqing is not that good… No! Judging from what Qin Qingqing said, their relationship should be considered “bad”.

　　But in this case, what was the reason why Lu Bai was reluctant to divorce his wife and remarry?

　　Zuo Xiangwan was confused.

　　She had to admit that her “investigation” was useless except for confirming the plot that the protagonist system had told her before.

　　She did it in vain.

　　She tried to say something, but she only saw Qin Qingqing frowning suddenly, as if she was annoyed by her endless questions…

　　She shut up silently.

　　But in fact, Qin Qingqing just realized something was wrong while “following the plot”!

　　Something is wrong——

　　[System, logically speaking: the stepmother heroine at this moment should not know Lu Liye and Lu Bai.]

　　[But why would she ask me about their news now, intentionally or unintentionally?]

　　Qin Qingqing discovered something wrong behind Zuo Xiangwan’s “chattering”.

　　The system is still immersed in the “task”.

　　[Hmm? Is there?]

　　[This is my built-in program, which detected in advance what she will say to you in this plot.]

　　[She should…]

　　[You are not asking for information, but simply want our son to take his niece to study together, right?]

　　Qin frowned slightly and did not comment.

　　Then——

　　Waiting for Zuo Xiangwan to speak so that she can finish the last line of the prescribed plot.

　　But I waited and waited.

　　Qin Qingqing didn’t even wait for Zuo Xiangwan to speak again…

　　She looked up and found that Zuo Xiangwan seemed to be hesitant to speak.

　　”?”

　　She gave her a blank look.

　　Zuo Xiangwan swallowed all the tentative words she originally wanted to say.

　　She smiled awkwardly.

　　”Since it is inconvenient for you to discuss this matter with Mr. Lu and Li Ye…”

　　”Then forget it.”

　　”Sister Qingqing, see you later?”

　　After saying this, she stopped asking Qin Qingqing and continued to inquire about “the reason why Lu Bai did not divorce his wife and remarried”.

　　Turn around and leave decisively!

　　After all, Qin Qingqing is just a minor supporting character who “treats her son harshly and tortures her husband.”

　　It’s normal not to understand the reason why Lu Bai did not divorce his wife and remarried!

　　She had to find a new way!

　　Zuo Xiangwan thought so.

　　Qin Qingqing was not annoyed by Zuo Xiangwan’s sudden departure.

　　She just looked at her back, without expressing any emotion.

　　”See you later.”

　　really!

　　She heard the crisp sound as she wished.

　　[bite–]

　　[Congratulations to the host for successfully speaking the required plot lines and completing the main plot mission 3.]

　　[Get pension of 100,000~]

　　”Sigh……”

　　Finally completed the task!

　　Moreover, she doesn’t need to use the old method (repair plan) to end it today.

　　Qin smiled gently.

　　This is probably the only mission in recent times that she doesn’t need to use the old method (repair after the damage is done) to complete, right?

　　[What is the “old way”?]

　　The system is at a loss.

　　[……nothing.]

　　Qin Qingqing fooled Tongzi online.

　　But… I caught a glimpse of a poster that had fallen under the seat next to me?

　　Qin picked up the poster gently.

　　Then she whispered the bold words on the poster:

　　”Who is the Happiest Family?”

　　”Hmm? Mrs. Lu is interested in this?”

　　”This is a new parent-child variety show planned by the famous director Wan Jia!”

　　”It is said that the guests who sign up for this variety show must have a fan base and be celebrity guests… Celebrity guests must also bring their entire family to participate in the variety show.”

　　“…”

　　All around, the wealthy parents who had been squeezed out by Zuo Xiangwan finally got their chance and rushed to show their courtesy to Qin Qingqing (popular science).

　　But–
