Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 552 - 549

Weekends are undoubtedly a luxury for a drama troupe, and Ye Zhenzhen woke up early in the morning to a phone call from Director Yang, asking how her health was and when she would start work.

Since Song Jinze had asked for leave on her behalf, no one else dared to make this call to Ye Zhenzhen, so Director Yang had to call her personally.

"Tomorrow, I’ll come over tomorrow."

"Alright, you’ll still have to work hard when you get here. Some scenes need to be reshot, the second female lead has been replaced."

Director Yang, hearing her voice, guessed that he probably disturbed Ye Zhenzhen’s rest. He thought it was already past nine and she should be up by now, so he did not continue talking and simply made a polite remark before hanging up the call.

After hanging up, Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t sleep anymore. The second female lead got replaced?

She sat up in bed and called Liu Rui to inquire about the situation;

"Huahua, why was Fu Shinuan replaced by the crew? Isn’t she heavily promoted by Baisheng?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Rui immediately laughed out loud, "Baisheng’s heavy promotion also depends on the timing. She offended Mrs. Song, and with just one word from President Song, is there any problem making her disappear from this circle?"

"..."

Ye Zhenzhen was shocked, glancing towards the other side of the bed where the man had already gotten up and left.

"This Fu Shinuan, she’s good at pretending. If it weren’t for hooking up with that guy from the Cheng family before, Baisheng wouldn’t have promoted her so much. Now being suddenly replaced is her own fault; she didn’t know her own weight."

"Zhenzhen, are you feeling better? Just now the director’s assistant sent me a WeChat message, asking when you can join the crew. The crew’s schedule may involve a business trip next week to shoot in Anshan. Plus the recasting, you might be very busy later on."

Ye Zhenzhen: "Director Yang just called me, I can join the crew tomorrow."

Regarding Fu Shinuan, she indeed disliked her, but she really did not expect Song Jinze to remove Fu Shinuan from the crew in such a simple and crude manner.

After Ye Zhenzhen came downstairs, Aunt Li served her favorite breakfast on the table.

She didn’t see Song Jinze and Song Yuchen, the father and son, on the second floor and still didn’t see them after she came downstairs; she only saw Watermelon lazily lying by the floor-to-ceiling window, basking in the sun.

"Aunt Li, where is Xiao Chen?"

Aunt Li brought over a bowl of brown sugar bird’s nest and said with a beaming smile, "Xiao Chen is exercising in the gym with sir."

"Exercising?"

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen’s surprised look, Aunt Li’s smile grew broader, "Indeed, exercising. Xiao Chen got up and said he was going to find you, but sir took him to exercise instead, and they haven’t come out yet."

Ye Zhenzhen’s lips curled up in a smile, "Okay, I got it."

After eating breakfast quickly, Ye Zhenzhen planned to check out the father and son exercising in the gym. But before she reached the door, the two of them came out from inside.

Xiao Chen was dragging Song Jinze’s arm, his voice pleading, "Daddy~ I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go anymore!"

"What’s going on?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.

Upon seeing Ye Zhenzhen, Song Jinze’s stern and cold eyes softened, "Awake? Have you had breakfast?"

"Yeah, I had."

When Ye Zhenzhen answered, she went over and took Song Yuchen’s hand, not even giving Song Jinze half a glance.

The little guy, upon seeing Ye Zhenzhen, as if a savior had arrived, hurriedly said, "Mommy, please tell Daddy that we had a plan today to go to the supermarket and then come home to make dumplings."

"Is that so? What’s the matter?"

Song Yuchen quickly replied, "Mommy, Daddy wants to send me to Grandma’s house!"

But he didn’t want to go; he just wanted to be with Mommy today.

Ye Zhenzhen raised her gaze and seriously asked Song Jinze, "Did Grandma ask the little guy to come over for something?"

Song Jinze replied, "No, aren’t you feeling unwell? What dumplings should you wrap? Just rest properly. I’ll take this kid to my mom’s to avoid him causing a fuss."

Song Yuchen: ...

He wasn’t causing a fuss at all; the one who is actually fussy is Daddy, hmph!

This morning he woke up and was about to check if Ye Zhenzhen was awake when he ran into Daddy, then got dragged to the gym to exercise together. Now, Daddy even intends to send him to Grandma’s house, which he didn’t want to do.

"I’m almost better now; I can make it for Xiao Chen if he wants to eat."

"No, you have to wait until you’re fully recovered." Saying that, Song Jinze once again looked sternly at the little guy, "Song Yuchen, you’re a boy. Although you’re young and can’t fully take care of Mommy yet, you can’t trouble her either.

You said you want something, and Mommy agrees to it because she likes you, so she won’t refuse you easily. Then you should also understand and not ask for these things when Mommy is not feeling well, okay?"

Song Yuchen nodded, his large bright and clear eyes blinked at Ye Zhenzhen, "Mommy, I don’t necessarily want to eat dumplings; I just want to be with you, to accompany you."

It didn’t matter who made the dumplings, what mattered most was that he liked being with Mommy.

Since the father and son had agreed, she couldn’t say much more; they were all considering her, caring for and loving her. Naturally, she couldn’t be unappreciative.

"Alright then, we won’t make dumplings today. Can we go to the supermarket and shop? Let’s eat out later."

Song Yuchen became happy, "Okay~"
