Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 145 Dinner

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Dinner

Hearing the word "excavator," Song Yuchen immediately turned back to look at Su Qian, "Auntie Qianqian, are you telling the truth?"

Cheng Jiaming, cocking his little head, affirmed, "Of course, it’s true! My mom has prepared not only an excavator for you but also a bulldozer! Have you ever driven an excavator?"

Xiao Chen shook his head, "I have only played with those little toy excavators, I’ve never really driven one."

At this point, Xiao Chen’s tone was filled with disappointment.

He had many toys, but what he didn’t have was a real excavator that could actually dig soil, because his dad wouldn’t buy him one and wouldn’t let grandpa buy it for him either.

Su Qian patted Xiao Chen’s head, "It’s okay, the excavator will arrive at your house tonight, and from now on, you can play with it in the garden every day."

Once again hearing from Auntie Qian that it was an excavator he could play with in the garden, Xiao Chen’s eyes were brimming with excitement, "Auntie, are you talking about the kind of machine that I can sit on and operate to dig soil?"

And not the various small toys he already had at home?

Su Qian nodded, "Of course."

Song Yuchen’s fair little face immediately broke into a smile as he looked up with his little head and asked Ye Zhenzhen, "Mom, can I really play with the excavator in the garden?"

"Is there any reason you can’t?" Ye Zhenzhen replied with a smile.

She had seen the garden during the day; in the southeast corner, there was an open space with nothing but lawn, and marking out a section there for the little guy to play was just perfect.

Especially now, during the winter, the little guy could even get some sun while playing during the day.

However, Ye Zhenzhen was unaware of Song Jinze’s opposition to Song Yuchen playing with an excavator in the garden.

All she thought was, what could be wrong with a child playing in his own family’s courtyard?

Besides, the villa’s garden was truly as large as to be exaggeratingly spacious...

"Yay yay yay! That’s so awesome!" The little guy was so happy, he was almost jumping up and down.

Hehe, as long as Ye Zhenzhen agreed, if dad opposed, he could ask Ye Zhenzhen to speak for him!

Song Yuchen’s obsession with excavators began at the age of three when he followed his grandpa on a fishing trip and for the first time saw an excavator up close as it turned a flat piece of land into a big pond; wherever the excavator’s shovel went, there was no place it couldn’t dig.

Aside from digging ponds, excavators could also uproot trees completely.

This had a massive impact on Song Yuchen’s young mind at the time, making him believe that excavators were all-powerful.

The car left the airport expressway and arrived by the river in less than half an hour of driving through the city.

The Song family’s yacht was already docked at the shore, and the group disembarked from the car and boarded the yacht.

A sumptuous dinner was already prepared on the yacht, all arranged by Song Jinze.

By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the lights on both sides of Jiangcheng were brilliant, creating a stunning night scene.

Ye Zhenzhen, with her son, and Su Qian with her son, admired the night scenery while enjoying the dinner on the yacht.

The two mothers were chatting about various topics when Ye Zhenzhen learned that besides accompanying Cheng Zheng to attend the anniversary dinner of Huanya Group, Su Qian’s visit to Jiangcheng had another ultimate purpose.

It was about the paternity test concerning the illegitimate child of the Su family, which Su Qian had mentioned previously in her bag.

Recently, the second uncle of the Su family was already being swayed by the illegitimate child and had started making moves.

Su Qian didn’t know yet if this illegitimate child was deliberately arranged by her second uncle or if he was also kept in the dark.

Therefore, she found an excuse to leave Jincheng for two days, also wanting to see what kind of actions the illegitimate child would take in her absence.

Regarding Su Qian’s family affairs, Ye Zhenzhen found it inappropriate to get too involved, just smiling and saying, "That’s good, let’s enjoy ourselves in Jiangcheng this weekend."

Su Xi nodded with a smile, "I came just to play with you guys."

Cheng Jiaming interjected from the side, "I came because I wanted to play with Song Yuchen.

Song Yuchen, last time you said you could take me horseback riding, was it for real?"

Song Yuchen pouted proudly and said, "Of course it’s real, I have a little white horse named Grape that’s especially beautiful. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to see it, but you can’t ride Grape."

Cheng Jiaming frowned, "Then what do I ride?"

He was a bit unhappy; they had agreed to take him horseback riding, but now he wasn’t allowed to ride.

"I can ask Uncle Zhang to tether another horse for you."

The Uncle Zhang that Song Yuchen mentioned is the horse farm’s manager.

Once Cheng Jiaming heard that he still had a horse to ride, he grinned and said, "That’s fine too, if you won’t let me ride your horse, I won’t even think of trying it."

"Mom always says you have to get someone’s permission to use their things," Cheng Jiaming thought, since Xiao Chen wasn’t allowing it, he naturally wouldn’t think about fighting for it.

After all, it was Song Yuchen’s horse, not his.

Song Yuchen nodded, "Mmm, seeing as you are so polite, tomorrow I will have Uncle Zhang pick out a good horse for you."

Cheng Jiaming: "Then I’ll thank you in advance!"

"No need to be polite!"

Ye Zhenzhen and Su Xi exchanged a glance, listening to the two soft and cute little guys talking seriously in their baby voices, they couldn’t help but laugh.

The cruise ship sailed near the bridge in the very heart of Jiangcheng, and Song Yuchen excitedly climbed down from the dining chair, walked to the window, and pointed to the twinkling building in the distance labeled Huanya Hotel, "Cheng Jiaming, look quick, our dads are in there right now."

Cheng Jiaming followed suit very supportively, stepping down from the dining chair, trotting over to Song Yuchen’s side and exclaimed, "Wow, the lights on that building are so cool!"

"Of course they are, my dad arranged all that!"

Cheng Jiaming: "My dad can do that too, next time you come to my house, I’ll take you to see it."

"Sure!"

...

The Huanya Group’s anniversary banquet was held at the Huanya Grand Hotel.

The hotel hadn’t taken in any customers for half a month prior to the event; something as important as the group’s anniversary required advanced preparations and security measures.

The personnel for the anniversary included staff from Jiangcheng’s main office as well as executives from domestic and international branches.

There were also a few high-level executives or bosses from other companies with significant cooperation or long-term partnerships with Huanya Group coming to offer their congratulations.

In addition to setting up the banquet hall, the hotel naturally also needed to prepare the guest rooms, accommodating all the high-level members from within the group.

From various kinds of food and beverages to guestrooms, as well as the surveillance and security systems inside and outside the hotel, everything needed to be perfected.

All this was to ensure that there were no mistakes during tonight’s anniversary banquet.

At such events, internal group personnel were also not allowed to take photos and post them online without permission, all in the interest of protecting the privacy of all the group’s high-level members and partners.

The banquet started at 6 p.m.; by 8 p.m., when Song Jinze stepped onto the stage to speak, the entire banquet reached its climax.

At the same time, Lemon Channel and Lemon Video released the variety show clip of "Mom’s Companion" as scheduled at 7:40 p.m. Friday night.
