Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 396

(Hang in there, my treasures. I’m outside today typing on my phone, so it’s a bit of a struggle. The two Chapters I had just edited vanished, and now there’s some confusion as I try to revise them again. Please wait a moment.)

Qiu Wanshuang nodded seriously, "I think that by doing this we’ll only suffer greater losses. Just look at Han Jiangxue. The whole internet knows about the rumors of discord between her and Ye Zhenzhen.

Now, what’s her situation?"

Sister Xia fell silent.

Moreover, he was very capable on his own.

"So, what are you saying now?"

"I don’t mean anything particular, just that there’s no need to provoke her anymore. We should just focus on doing our own things and ignore the rest. As for someone like Ye Zhenzhen, she’s not a minor figure, so don’t make any rash moves now."

"So, we’re just supposed to sit back and watch him snatch your resources? Or are you saying we should wait until we can dig up some dirt on him like before, then crush him in one fell swoop?" Sister Xia asked.

A trace of helplessness crossed Qiu Wanshuang’s face, "Sister Xia, can’t you see? I’ve said it before, Ye Zhenzhen is different from those others we’ve forgotten about. In the past, you said you wanted to clear obstacles for me, and I turned a blind eye to it. But with this Ye Zhenzhen, don’t make any more little moves, and don’t touch her. Otherwise, we’ll end up like Han Jiangxue."

If Ye Zhenzhen had any dirt to be dug up, Han Jiangxue would have found it by now. It wouldn’t be their turn.

"But..."

Sister Xia wanted to continue, but she was interrupted;

"Alright, no more talking about it. Go prepare for the kids’ variety show we’re attending on Saturday."

...

On Thursday, GK had arranged some engagements for Ye Zhenzhen, mainly advertising and promotional poster photography.

These were all manageable tasks for Ye Zhenzhen.

After finishing a photo shoot in the afternoon and during a break, she received a call from Song Jinze, who mentioned there was a minor problem with a project on Jincheng’s end, and Cheng Zheng had called asking him to hurry over.

These past few days he had been extremely busy, returning home late every night, mainly trying to finish all the important work in advance, so he could then focus on spending the holiday with his wife and kids.

After exchanging a few pleasantries on the phone, Ye Zhenzhen too became busy.

"Let’s hang up for now, we’ll get in touch once you’ve arrived."

"Okay, miss you." He suddenly said this.

Ye Zhenzhen’s face instantly turned red; today she simply responded, "Mhm."

Now they slept together every night, no matter how late he returned, he would come to sleep in the master bedroom.

The relationship between the two seemed to be subtly changing.

Like this morning, for instance, she was nestled in his arms and, in order not to wake her, he broke his usual routine and waited until she woke up at 9 a.m. before he got out of bed.

When she woke up, she was puzzled and asked, "Are you off today?"

Because she found it odd that he got up so late today; previously, he was always punctual in rising each morning.

"Yeah, a day off."

Just as their conversation ended, he received a call from Secretary Zhang, asking where he was.

Secretary Zhang asked this while he was still in bed.

His voice was hoarse and deep, and Secretary Zhang could tell something was off from the other end of the line.

Immediately, Secretary Zhang confirmed the details of the morning meeting with him, then hung up after getting a response.

Secretary Zhang couldn’t help but worry about the president’s health—having arrived home at 3 a.m. and still not up by now...

Ah! Being a CEO must be painful and yet joyful!

...

Song Jinze’s figure was captured by paparazzi at the airport.

The children’s variety show is about to kick off, but Song Jinze jetted off, and these days Weibo has been overflowing with topics about Ye Zhenzhen.

No sooner has one wave settled than another has risen.

After discussing her personal capabilities and luck, now people are starting to talk about her husband.

Actually, everyone was really looking forward to Song Jinze participating in the variety show, after all, very few male celebrities in the entertainment industry can outshine Song Jinze in terms of handsomeness.

Now, it’s not just teasing anymore, variety show fans and beauty fans alike are getting anxious.

They hurriedly leave messages on social platforms, frantically @ing Ye Zhenzhen, hoping she could get her husband to join;

[Sister Zhenzhen, you’d better call President Song and get him to come back. Other kids have their dads around, Xiao Chen doesn’t, how is this fair?]

[Exactly, everyone’s saying your relationship is fake, are you really just a plastic couple?]

[I feel like it’s probably true, if you’re not a plastic couple, then why did he leave just as the variety show was about to start?]

[Sigh, a few days ago people were saying that Song Zhu would definitely participate in the kids’ show. I was still hopeful, but after seeing this today, I’m so disappointed.]

Everyone felt that @ing Ye Zhenzhen without getting a response was not quite satisfying enough.

So they began to shift battlegrounds, with some leaving messages on Director Fei’s Weibo.

Others went to the official Weibo account of "Mom’s Companion" to comment.

Everyone had one goal in mind, and that was to demand that President Song participate in the kids’ show, or they wouldn’t watch it at all.

Naturally, fans of other celebrities jumped out to say, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it! It’s not just for you alone.

But everyone was thinking along the same lines, and that’s when someone came up with a pretty novel nasty trick.

And that was to leave messages under Little Yi’s Weibo;

[Little Best Actor. Do you want to join the kids’ show? Xiao Chen is still your fan, why don’t you go too?]

[Some people above are going too far, this could bring hate towards Zhenzhen and Xiao Yi, after all, Zhenzhen is married.]

[We could appear as guest friends, what does this have to do with whether or not one is married?]

[Speaking of this, I checked out our brother’s recent schedule, and he’s been resting at home all this time, maybe he should join a variety show?]

After this comment was posted, Xiao Yi’s fans felt instantly revitalized; it was as if they’d found a new direction. It had been a long time since they’d seen their idol active on screen. If he joined a reality show, wouldn’t they be able to see him every day?

So after such comments came out, the hot search topics all over the net changed.

It shifted to wanting both.

Everywhere, people left messages saying;

They wanted both Song Jinze and Xiao Yi to participate, hoping Lemon Channel could consider everyone’s pleas and satisfy them as soon as possible.

Xiao Yi, the 5G surge player, did nothing at home but play games and scroll through Weibo.

When he saw everyone’s comments, an idea flashed through his mind, right, since he was just loafing around at home and had rested enough, why not find something to do?

If Song Jinze was going to the kids’ show, he could go too!

If that jerk didn’t participate, he had even more reason to go!
