Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 118 Stay Tuned

Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Stay Tuned

But Wu Yuerou was not willing to let the matter rest. She took large strides to Ye Zhenzhen’s front, blocking the car door, "Ye Jianjian, what gives you the right to make our family’s An Ruilin change classes?"

The driver’s face darkened, "Miss, please step aside."

"Oh, Jianjian, are you so scared of getting beaten up that you’ve specifically hired someone to protect you?"

Ye Zhenzhen’s lips turned down, and she said coldly, "Have you ever heard the saying? There are many kinds of flowers, but people are not dogs.

And even dogs are not the same because good dogs don’t stand in the way."

"Ye Jianjian, you sharp-tongued woman, who are you calling a dog!" Wu Yuerou was so angry she gritted her teeth, raising her hand to slap Ye Zhenzhen’s face.

The driver swiftly grabbed Wu Yuerou’s arm, his eyes full of menace, "Miss, if you continue like this, we will call the police."

Ye Zhenzhen looked up, signaling the driver to release Wu Yuerou, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Wu Yuerou, your son is merely changing classes for now, but if you want, I could easily ensure that your son has no school to attend in Jiangcheng."

This was the message she had received from Song Jinze on her way to the kindergarten, informing her that An Ruilin had been moved to another class.

And asking her if she wanted to have An Ruilin removed completely or even forced to leave Jiangcheng.

Yet Ye Zhenzhen felt that An Ruilin was just a child, and there was no need for such measures, changing classes would suffice.

She had thought the children’s issue was over, but unexpectedly, Wu Yuerou, like a woman with a nerve disease, came looking for her again.

First, she had someone tail her, taking those photos of her with Xiao Yi, and then she deliberately smeared her reputation at night.

Ye Zhenzhen hadn’t even had the chance to settle the score, and now Wu Yuerou was eagerly coming over to pick a fight.

In the past, she might have been cautious of live streaming cameras and the like, but now she didn’t feel like tolerating this madness at all.

"Humph, quite the big talk, Ye Jianjian. Who doesn’t know you married an old fossil?

You even dare not show your face. That old man can’t satisfy you at night, so he can only cajole you into throwing your weight around during the day. I would like to see just how amazing your husband is that he could prevent my son from attending school in Jiangcheng."

Wu Yuerou glared at Ye Zhenzhen with vicious eyes. Her elbow had been pinched by the driver a moment ago, and it was already beginning to ache, but she bore it, refusing to let her pain show to avoid losing momentum.

Ye Zhenzhen had people following her for protection, so Wu Yuerou couldn’t lay a hand on her, but she had to come out on top with verbal sparring.

Just now, she had left the principal’s office feeling infuriated. The principal was newly appointed—the one from yesterday and the teachers had already left. She had thought that giving the new principal some money should be enough to bribe him, but to her surprise, the person had no appreciation at all.

He even acted all high and mighty, saying her son was the one instigating trouble, and it was leniency on the other parent’s part not to pursue the matter further.

He advised her not to stir up more trouble as a parent.

Wu Yuerou was furious and encountered Ye Zhenzhen just after leaving the office.

Last night’s live-stream had catapulted Ye Zhenzhen to the top of entertainment news headlines overnight, fueling the jealousy in Wu Yuerou—who had hoped to see Ye Zhenzhen disappear from the entertainment industry once and for all, yet the incident had made her unexpectedly famous instead.

Now, because of the affair with An Ruilin, she certainly wasn’t going to let Ye Zhenzhen off easily.

Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes, looking at Wu Yuerou’s fierce and flailing demeanor in front of her, finding it utterly ridiculous;

"You’ll soon see for yourself whether my husband is formidable or not.

But as for your husband, I’m certain, he’s definitely nothing special, especially as of late..."

Speaking thus, Ye Zhenzhen took a step forward, leaning toward Wu Yuerou’s ear, sneering coldly, "No matter when, he’s never able to satisfy you."

Having said her piece, Ye Zhenzhen signaled the driver to pull Wu Yuerou aside, who was shaken to the core by Ye Zhenzhen’s comments and quivered with rage. "Ye Zhenzhen! You, you..."

Her lips trembled with anger, and all the curses she intended to hurl at Ye Zhenzhen got stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word.

After getting into the back seat of the car, Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes flickered with a hint of disdainful pity. She glanced indifferently at Wu Yuerou, "Hah! If you think my words today have hurt you, don’t doubt my upbringing, because I did it on purpose!"

With that, the driver hit the gas, and the black sedan drove off, leaving Wu Yuerou behind.

Wu Yuerou’s face was already contorted with anger from Ye Zhenzhen’s words, and now she was choking on the car exhaust, crying out of frustration!

Speaking of recent events, An Hao really hadn’t been doing well at all. To say ’not well’ was actually to praise him; he was completely incapable...

...

Ye Zhenzhen called Liu Rui from the car, instructing her to find some entertainment reporters to expose the sordid deeds of Wu Yuerou’s husband.

Da Mi had investigated and found out that, apart from his moral failings, An Hao, as the head of the station, was involved in serious corruption and various other issues...

Once these issues came to light, no one would need to lift a finger; Wu Yuerou’s whole family would be ruined.

Dealing with such people didn’t require her to get her hands dirty by confronting them personally.

It was just a pity that last night’s trending topic, which she had worked so hard to cultivate, would soon be overshadowed by this explosive news.

On the way, Ye Zhenzhen received a phone call from Madam Song, who invited her to have lunch together at noon.

To Ye Zhenzhen, this sudden invitation from her mother-in-law was somewhat of a pleasant surprise, but she accepted it gladly.

In fact, Madam Song and Old Master Song had watched Ye Zhenzhen’s live broadcast the previous night, and both had noticed the bleeding wound on her arm.

Old Master Song, as her grandfather-in-law, didn’t think it right to pry, nor was it appropriate for him to go out with Ye Zhenzhen, so he asked Madam Song to give her a call.

The lunch was just a pretense; their main concern was to take Ye Zhenzhen to a cosmetic clinic to look at her wound, as they thought Zhenzhen, now a female celebrity, shouldn’t be left with a scar.

Before calling Ye Zhenzhen, Madam Song also made a call to her son, but it was Secretary Zhang who answered, mentioning that the president was in a meeting.

Madam Song muttered, "So busy all the time, not even caring when his own wife is injured..."

Secretary Zhang, holding Song Jinze’s phone, entered the conference room with a serious expression. He returned the phone to its original position.

In the conference room, because of a minor oversight in yesterday’s meeting by the finance department that was still unresolved today, Song Jinze’s handsome face was as dark as a thundercloud.

His deep black eyes cast a fleeting glance at Secretary Zhang, who raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

At the moment of his mother’s call, the engineering department had been presenting their budget report.

Secretary Zhang looked around at the senior executives at the table, who were all looking back at him with similar expressions. He swallowed nervously and leaned in to whisper to his boss, considering quickly in his mind it would be best to repeat Madam Song’s exact words:

"Madam Song said, ’So busy all the time, not even caring when his own wife is injured...’"

Song Jinze’s pupils shrank; Ye Zhenzhen had been injured again?

That morning, when he messaged her on WeChat, she had been fine, saying she was on her way to drop Xiao Chen off at school. Not even half a day had passed; where could she possibly have got injured again?

He grabbed the phone and sent Ye Zhenzhen a WeChat message,[Injured again?]
