Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 117 Love Me, Love My Dog!

Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Love Me, Love My Dog!

Han Jiangxue spoke, tears streaming unstoppably down her cheeks as she continued, her voice choked with emotion,

"We’ve only been married for half a year. Even mothers who’ve carried their child for ten months get upset with their own sons, let alone a stepmother like me.

According to what you’re saying, if I’m not gentle with Yibo for a single moment, it means I have an attitude towards him. As your wife and Yibo’s stepmother, can’t I have my own emotions? How am I supposed to get along with you and Yibo in the future?

Before I married you, I was an actress. How come after marrying you, I’m suddenly nothing..."

The more Han Jiangxue spoke, the more wronged she felt, her silent tears turning into audible sobs, and when reasoning with the man failed, she softened.

A pitiable cry and acting coy were the most effective methods.

If she continued to argue with Shen Zhaonan, they would only end up fighting, resulting in a heated and embarrassing confrontation, and if her mother-in-law found out, it would only be to her disadvantage.

Shen Zhaonan would never have said such things to her before, she thought, it must be her mother-in-law whispering some unknown things about her to Shen Zhaonan, that’s why he acted so out of character today.

Shen Zhaonan left Han Jiangxue speechless and a trace of guilt for her even emerged in his heart.

He sighed softly and drew Han Jiangxue into his embrace, "Alright, alright, no more crying, Xiao Xue. You’ve been tired lately too, let’s rest early tonight."

He had tried to persuade Han Jiangxue to quit showbiz several times without success, so he decided to give her some time.

Han Jiangxue nodded, wiping away her tears, "Then you can’t say I’m not good to Yibo anymore. I’ve always treated him like my own son."

"Yeah, I won’t mention it anymore." Shen Zhaonan compromised, looking at the woman before him crying pear blossoms with rain, affection blossoming in his heart, he leaned down and kissed her lips gently.

Han Jiangxue responded to Shen Zhaonan’s kiss, and the two embraced tightly...

...

The next day.

Song Jinze was still the earliest to rise. After he left, Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen got out of bed.

After getting ready, Ye Zhenzhen took Xiao Chen to kindergarten.

Aunt Li handed over two bottles of warm milk and a whole-grain sandwich to Ye Zhenzhen, "Madam, you and the young master can drink the milk on the way. There’s also a sandwich, please remember to eat it."

The master had instructed her again before leaving this morning, to make sure Madam ate breakfast on time.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Okay, thank you."

At the school.

Shu Huaiqing was holding Shu Siyu’s hand, waiting in the school parking lot. Seeing Xiao Chen and Ye Zhenzhen get out of the car, Shu Siyu quickly ran to Ye Zhenzhen, eagerly calling, "Ma~"

Ah, that was wrong!

"Auntie!"

Song Yuchen’s tender little face fell a bit, his lips pursed discontentedly, "Shu Siyu, were you about to call Ye Zhenzhen mom just now?"

Shu Huaiqing: ...

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

The two adults exchanged an awkward glance, with Shu Huaiqing at a loss, his lips pressed together; his son had indeed been about to call Ye Zhenzhen mom.

Thank goodness, it wasn’t actually said out loud!

Shu Siyu scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Err~ I wanted to give this sandwich to your mom."

His dad had made it at home that morning, and after seeing it, he said he’d bring one to give to Ye Zhenzhen.

Dad also asked him, what if Yuchen’s mom doesn’t come? He replied that he would let Song Yuchen bring it home for Ye Zhenzhen to eat after school.

Shu Siyu handed the bag in his hands to Ye Zhenzhen, "Auntie, thank you for helping me yesterday. This is for you."

Ye Zhenzhen’s beautiful little face smiled warmly, "Okay, don’t be polite."

Just as she was about to reach out and take the ’thank-you gift’ from Shu Siyu, a tender little hand intercepted the bag from the middle, and then, a whiny voice with a trace of displeasure sounded, "My mom has sandwiches; let me eat this."

Song Yuchen’s small eyebrows furrowed together, and his stare towards Shu Siyu was also fiercely adorable, "You’re not allowed to call Ye Zhenzhen mom! She’s my mom!"

He had heard it; Shu Siyu did want to call Ye Zhenzhen mom.

Trying to steal his mom was absolutely not okay!

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

Was the little cutie getting angry, feeling jealous?

Because Shu Siyu had mistakenly called her mom just now?

Just now, she had been watching Shu Siyu, thinking that this little guy was both cute and well-mannered, that having him as a friend for Xiao Chen would be very nice, but she had neglected the little guy’s thoughts.

Shu Huaiqing laughed heartily, "It seems that Xiao Chen really likes mom, and Shu Siyu also likes Auntie a lot. He is your friend and probably wants to learn to call her mom along with you."

At times like this, it was better to try to find a way to muddle through this matter.

Ye Zhenzhen crouched down, smiled at the two little guys, and then took each of their hands;

"Xiao Chen is mom’s son, and Shu Siyu is Xiao Chen’s friend. Xiao Chen likes to play with Shu Siyu, and mom also likes Shu Siyu very much. Similarly, as Xiao Chen’s friend, Shu Siyu also really enjoys playing with Xiao Chen, so, Shu Siyu also really likes mom.

Xiao Chen, does this sound like the idiom story we heard yesterday?"

"Love me, love my dog!"

Shu Siyu really liked him, and also liked Ye Zhenzhen, which is why he wanted to call Ye Zhenzhen mom?

"Exactly!" Ye Zhenzhen chuckled, "Xiao Chen and Shu Siyu are best friends, so, you shouldn’t get upset over such small things, as a man, you should not sweat the small stuff."

Song Yuchen nodded his little head, "Mom, you’re right, but I still feel that only I can call you mom."

"Of course, I am only your mom."

After listening to Ye Zhenzhen’s words, although Shu Siyu was smiling, he felt a bit down inside; he really did wish for a mom like Ye Zhenzhen.

Song Yuchen’s small furrowed brow relaxed, and he grinned at Shu Siyu, "Shu Siyu, although we’re friends, my mom is not your mom."

"Oh, I know that," Shu Siyu nonchalantly looked away, sneaking a glance at his dad.

Alas, he couldn’t blame Xiao Chen or Ye Zhenzhen; if there was someone to blame, it had to be his dad!

Standing to the side, Shu Huaiqing watched Ye Zhenzhen’s doting smile towards the children. Her voice and the words she spoke were like the winter sun’s warm rays, gentle and so comfortably fitting.

Remembering last night’s tumultuous live broadcast, now looking at the woman before him, he couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of Song Yuchen’s dad...

After dropping the two little guys off at the classroom, Shu Huaiqing had to rush to the company for a meeting, so he briefly said goodbye to Ye Zhenzhen.

He actually wanted to chat with Ye Zhenzhen a bit more, but with no time to spare, he only gave her a couple of deep, meaningful looks after getting into the car...

"Ye Zhenzhen!"

Ye Zhenzhen was about to get in the car and leave when she heard Wu Yuerou’s voice behind her; her eyes chilled, she had no intention to deal with that woman whatsoever.
