Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 392

Qiu Wanshuang was strong-willed and, no matter how tired or busy she was with work, always made time for her child. Ji Yunyun was very close to her and guided by her quite well.

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Ji Yunyun immediately nodded, "Okay, then I’ll go play with Brother Xiao Chen first."

The four groups of mothers had been waiting backstage for a while when a staff member from the production team came over and explained that there was a slight issue with the recording equipment on stage, which caused the delay. Now, they were asking the four mothers to go on stage one by one.

The indoor stage at Lemon Channel was quite large, and "Mom’s Companion," this indoor variety show being recorded today, had a runtime of one and a half hours and would be aired on Lemon Channel on Friday night.

Although it was a recording, there would still be an audience arranged by the production team for interaction. When everyone saw the four groups of mothers and their children enter, they immediately started screaming and shouting, cheering for their favorite mother-child pairs!

In terms of popularity among the four groups of mothers, Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen’s popularity was undoubtedly the highest.

Qiu Wanshuang, being a popular actress herself, often appeared in public places with her daughter Ji Yunyun, often attending charitable activities or visiting orphanages. Naturally, their popularity wasn’t low either.

As for Xu Wanjia and An Xi, they were about the same.

The host made a hushing gesture, signaling the crowd to calm their excitement. As the venue quieted down, two voices suddenly traveled from the audience to the stage;

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen! Look at mommy, look over here at mommy!"

"Song Yuchen, your sister will always love you and support you~" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The host teased, "It seems like our little heartthrob Song Yuchen is the most popular on this stage, eh? Does everyone like Xiao Chen a lot?"

Audience: "Yes!"

"Super like, like enough to want to take Xiao Chen home."

The host glanced at Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, what do you have to say about someone wanting to steal Xiao Chen away?"

Ye Zhenzhen took the microphone and addressed the audience, "Just now I heard you all saying, ’Sister Zhenzhen, I love you so much, I love you to death!’ and now you want to steal my Xiao Chen? Since you love Xiao Chen and me, why not consider taking both me and Xiao Chen away?"

Ye Zhenzhen’s joke instantly set off a wave of laughter in the audience, with someone in the front row standing up and shouting, "Sister Zhenzhen, I want to, but I’m afraid President Song will give me trouble."

The person speaking was a die-hard fan of Ye Zhenzhen. There had been rumors on Weibo these past few days claiming that the relationship between Ye Zhenzhen and Song Jinze was fake, but the die-hard fans didn’t take this seriously.

They believed that if President Song truly didn’t like Zhenzhen, he wouldn’t have clarified his status in public in that manner. The die-hard fans were constantly watching the video of Song Jinze publicly clarifying his status at the charity dinner.

Regardless of what others said, they were firm in their belief that President Song and Sister Zhenzhen were true love!

Ye Zhenzhen immediately laughed back, "He won’t trouble you; he’ll only beg you to take us in."

The die-hard fan immediately screamed, "Really? I would love to!"

The crowd erupted into laughter.

The director of the indoor variety show was thrilled to witness such a scene; thanks to Ye Zhenzhen’s playful interaction with the audience, the atmosphere had become lively from the very start of the show.

As a result, everything went very smoothly for a while after that. The hosts and guests were following the script as planned.

They played games, then discussed topics and interacted.

Moms and kids all previewed the itinerary beforehand and familiarized themselves with the game rules.

As a result, the interaction in the first half, whether it was between the moms and kids or with the audience invited to sit in, was very good.

The program, moving into the latter half, featured a talent show segment for the moms and kids. The four mother-child pairs had a regulated amount of time to play a fruit guessing game and draw from a mystery box, then perform based on the contents of the box. The number of performances was determined by their success in the game.

In other words, the faster they completed the game, the more opportunities they had to perform. Conversely, the slower they were, the fewer opportunities they got.

The audience below was able to vote live on the moms’ and kids’ performances, and the team with the most votes during this Saturday’s three-part children’s variety show live recording would receive a highly valuable mystery gift.

Hearing of the reward, the four groups of moms were naturally very happy, each encouraging their child with enthusiasm, determined to win.

An Xi and Gu Xiaoran were the first to go. Not having a particularly strong rapport, they guessed only one correctly within three minutes.

The mystery box they drew demanded a dance performance. Although An Xi was not good at dancing, Gu Xiaoran had learned street dance, so she sent the little one to take the stage.

Don’t be fooled by Gu Xiaoran’s slender appearance. Once she started street dancing, it was a different story altogether. As soon as the music started, her little body immediately took on style.

Her performance was very cool, garnering applause and admiration from everyone present.

Xu Wanjia and Xiao Yiyi got to draw twice during the game. Xu Wanjia sang a song, and Xiao Yiyi also performed a dance for everyone.

The audience was very forgiving towards these two pairs of moms and kids, giving them a high number of votes.

By this point, it was almost certain that whoever drew the most performance opportunities would end up with the most votes.

Qiu Wanshuang and Xiao Yunyun, as well as Ye Zhenzhen, received the same number of opportunities to perform: three times each.

The previous performances, whether singing or dancing, were not much of a challenge for Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen. Their respective vote counts were nearly identical.

It was only later that Ye Zhenzhen and Qiu Wanshuang both drew the same talent performance, sword dance.

The host originally planned to have Qiu Wanshuang perform the sword dance last, but to their surprise, Ye Zhenzhen drew it too, so they decided to have both moms perform together at the end.

After this talent performance was announced, those true fans of Ye Zhenzhen in the audience couldn’t help but worry for Zhenzhen; everyone remembered how, during one children’s variety show, she had been injured in the arm by a robber.

On one hand, they were concerned about the injury on Zhenzhen’s arm; on the other hand, since her debut, Zhenzhen had never acted in a historical drama, so how could she possibly know how to perform a sword dance? If she had really known how to perform a sword dance, she wouldn’t have gotten injured during that show recording.

Meanwhile, Qiu Wanshuang was well-known for her sword dance skills, having only just returned from a drama production last month where they were filming a historical series.

If these two were really to perform together, wouldn’t Ye Zhenzhen be completely overshadowed?

Qiu Wanshuang knew about Ye Zhenzhen, and originally, a sword dance performance was just
