Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 497
Everyone had been paying close attention to the kid-variety show crew and Gu Liangjun, but when Song Jinze appeared in Ancheng, netizens’ focus instantly shifted.
[President Song showed up in Ancheng, does that mean the third season of the kid-variety show isn’t being filmed anymore? Has everyone gone home?] 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
[Now is not the time to care about that, I just want to know who this woman is, why isn’t there Sister Zhenzhen, and why is President Song dining with another woman?]
[Could it be a business partner? I feel President Song truly likes Sister Zhenzhen, so nothing else would happen, right?]
[Lu Sangning is the youngest daughter of the wealthy Jiangcheng Lu Family, which is on good terms with the Song family. President Song and Lu Sangning are childhood sweethearts, I heard it through the grapevine.]
[Oh snap, looks like there’s trouble, haha, wasn’t Ye Jianjian so smug? Saying how could a family like the Songs care for her, perhaps they were just toying with her, and the real well-matched one is the legitimate daughter of the Lu Family.]
[Maybe President Song or the child has some dirt held against them by her, which is why they agreed to pretend on the show.]
Ye Zhenzhen was scrolling through the comments, her radiant face showing no emotions, just feeling as if her heart had been filled with lead, sinking.
Childhood sweethearts?
...
Ancheng.
Secretary Zhang was making a call outside the restaurant, asking someone to take down a trending topic on social media. Seeing Cheng Zheng come from the restroom, he asked annoyed, "President Cheng, why on earth did you invite Miss Lu over?"
Cheng Zheng furrowed his brows in confusion, "I didn’t invite her, she came on her own."
Indeed, it wasn’t his fault, Lu Sangning’s flight had arrived in Jiangcheng early in the afternoon, and then she posted a status on social media. At that time, Cheng Zheng had just arrived in Ancheng and saw this long-time unseen junior’s status update, so he casually liked it.
Then Lu Sangning’s voice call came through, and he just happened to inadvertently reveal that he was meeting with Song Jinze for dinner in Ancheng to discuss business matters.
In the circles of high society, everyone basically knew each other, and Cheng Zheng had already heard about Song Jinze from Lu Sangning during their time abroad. Now that both men are married, he naturally wasn’t on guard when answering the junior’s questions.
Little did he know, right after hanging up with Lu Sangning, she flew straight to Ancheng... and even arrived before Song Jinze did.
"And you didn’t tell Miss Lu you were eating here with our CEO, would she have come? Ah~"
Secretary Zhang glanced at Cheng Zheng with a mix of disdain and resignation.
Cheng Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Secretary Zhang, what’s with that expression?"
And that tone, after all, he’s the big boss of the company. Why does Song Jinze’s little secretary even dare to speak to him like that? The frustration he felt around Song Jinze seemed to have found an outlet.
Secretary Zhang sighed again, "President Cheng, you’re dining in this restaurant, and a server secretly took a photo and posted it online. There are pictures of you and Miss Lu dining alone. What do you think Mrs. Cheng’s reaction will be when she sees it?"
"What did you say?"
Cheng Zheng’s face changed dramatically as he quickly pulled out his phone and began to scroll feverishly.
As he checked his phone, his hands were even trembling slightly, "Secretary Zhang, why didn’t you tell me sooner, I... let me check..."
In less than a minute, Cheng Zheng looked up at Secretary Zhang, his tone lacking the tension of the previous second, "Where is this?"
In his heart, he actually hoped it was just a joke Secretary Zhang was playing on him.
Secretary Zhang’s smile didn’t reach his eyes as he nodded, "I’ve had someone deal with it, but whether Mrs. Cheng has seen it or not, I can’t be certain."
