Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 157 Complaint?

Chapter 157: Chapter 157 Complaint?

Song Yuchen and Cheng Jiaming, the two little ones, laughed happily at the side.

Their world is clean and pure, and for Cheng Jiaming, he’d had a lot of fun these past two days. Even if they had to part now, he was still happy inside because he would see Song Yuchen again someday.

But what Song Yuchen thought was that Dad had taken the initiative to hug Ye Zhenzhen, and Ye Zhenzhen did not refuse.

Dad also said, if Ye Zhenzhen has any issues, she should contact him. This seemed to imply that their relationship had improved a lot, and maybe they wouldn’t get a divorce after all!

However, what Dad said was not right!

Song Yuchen suddenly realized something and looked up at his dad with his small head, frowning and saying, "Dad, what you said just now was wrong!"

Ye Zhenzhen took half a step back from Song Jinze and crouched down to ask Song Yuchen, "Xiao Chen, what’s wrong?"

Did this man say something to upset the little guy just now?

Thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem like it.

Song Jinze raised an eyebrow and asked, "Which part was wrong?"

Song Yuchen: "You just said to let Ye Zhenzhen contact you if she has an issue. Does that mean she can’t contact you if she doesn’t have an issue? Can’t you contact her when you have nothing pressing? Can’t you guys contact each other every day?"

Ye Zhenzhen was speechless!

Song Yuchen, oh Song Yuchen, what a little slicker you are!

Song Jinze nodded in understanding and agreed, "Hmm, my son is right, then shall we stay in touch often?"

Song Yuchen nodded his little head, "Of course you should stay in touch often!"

If you don’t, you’ll end up fighting!

"Xiao Chen, your dad is very busy with work normally, so we shouldn’t disturb him when there’s nothing important," Ye Zhenzhen tried to communicate the reality to Song Yuchen, lest the little guy take it to heart and insist on bothering her to call Song Jinze every day.

That was not the outcome she wanted.

And as soon as Ye Zhenzhen spoke these words, before Song Yuchen could even compromise, she was met with a piercing inquiry from Song Jinze, "Is Mrs. Song implying that I haven’t been contacting you enough before?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

How could this man always find a loophole?

In the past, when he was on a business trip or anything, they didn’t really stay in touch much. Now, just because of a word from Song Yuchen, should they start doing so?

Wouldn’t that be awkward?

Wouldn’t it be better to be honest with the little guy?

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen’s contemplative expression, Song Jinze’s lips curved slightly, and he said softly, "Hmm, I understand. From now on, I’ll make time to contact my wife every day."

Song Yuchen clapped his little hands and laughed, "Daddy, you should learn more from Uncle Cheng. You should be like Uncle Cheng and care a lot more about your wife!"

"Tch," standing not far away, Cheng Zheng almost laughed out loud when he heard the little guy tell Song Jinze this, but Su Xi silenced him with a look.

Song Jinze’s deep eyes briefly swept over Cheng Zheng, unruffled.

Ye Zhenzhen sighed internally, are kids so smart these days?

It was both delightful and worrisome!

...

On Tuesday, Ye Zhenzhen had to go to Lemon Channel today for a costume fitting for the role in "Ren Pingsheng," as well as to have measurements taken for the costume.

She left the house with Yu Lili, dropped off Song Yuchen at the kindergarten, and then paid a visit to the cosmetic clinic that Madam Song had taken her to the other day.

The doctor examined Ye Zhenzhen’s right arm, finding that the wound had mostly healed. He then removed the stitches and disinfected it before applying a special cosmetic ointment.

The doctor said this ointment can prevent the wound from proliferating and prevent risks like scarring.

In the Lemon Channel’s designated makeup room, the person doing Ye Zhenzhen’s makeup was Lin Ling. The young girl had watched children’s variety shows and really liked Ye Zhenzhen’s personality.

Especially seeing Ye Zhenzhen always managing to make Wu Yuerou taste defeat, Lin Ling felt extremely gratified.

Previously at Lemon Channel, she had been Wu Yuerou’s dedicated makeup artist and had not been spared from Wu Yuerou’s overt and covert oppression on a daily basis. Now that Wu Yuerou was finished, she could finally break free.

Conveniently, this production team needed a makeup artist, so she was chosen by the crew.

Now that she had met Ye Zhenzhen, Lin Ling was unbearably happy inside.

"Sister Zhenzhen, I think your facial structure is truly perfect, ah, and your skin is just too good. When it comes time for actual filming, I might need to darken your skin tone a bit.

That way, you’ll match the character a bit more."

Lin Ling spoke softly and gently because professionally, she felt it important to explain these things thoroughly to the actor.

Today’s makeup test was for photography, so the makeup would be a bit lighter than what it’d be for actual filming. As a makeup artist, she needed to clarify these differences in advance.

Otherwise, once the actor joined the crew and before actual filming began, they would criticize the makeup artists’ skills for being poor and inconsistent.

Ye Zhenzhen, with her eyes closed, directly responded, "Mhm, just follow Teacher’s advice."

"Alright."

Lin Ling thought to herself that Ye Zhenzhen’s personality was indeed straightforward.

There was no need for any superfluous words or for her as the makeup artist to waste words in explanation.

After the makeup was done, Ye Zhenzhen changed into the costume prepared by the production team and went to the studio for photography.

Today, most of the actors who came for filming were characters who had a name in the script.

Because Lin Ling’s makeup skills were excellent and quick, there weren’t many people when Ye Zhenzhen arrived at the studio; she was up right after a male actor finished.

When Ye Zhenzhen stood in front of the camera, she quickly immersed herself into the character, and with her previous life’s filming experience, the whole process went smoothly.

Such a performance won the crew’s photographer, Wei Heng, repeated praise, "Teacher Ye has strong professional abilities, and she’s very good at catching the camera’s eye."

Ye Zhenzhen replied with a light smile, "It’s because Teacher Wei’s photography skills are excellent."

In reaction to Ye Zhenzhen’s response, Wei Heng did not continue the conversation. He had only heard from peers in the industry that taking photos for Ye Zhenzhen was difficult, as she was very picky.

But today, when he met Ye Zhenzhen himself, he felt that this Ye Zhenzhen seemed completely different from the Ye Zhenzhen others had described.

There’s a saying that you shouldn’t judge a person by what others say about them, but rather by your own experiences.

Today, Wei Heng profoundly understood the meaning of that saying.

He had originally been prepared for a two-hour photoshoot for Ye Zhenzhen, the second female lead, but everything with her was finished in less than an hour.

That included a costume change in the middle...

The final shots turned out to be very perfect, with hardly any need for edits.

After Ye Zhenzhen had finished, Lin Qianqian, the lead actress, had also finished her makeup. They exchanged a few cordial words, and then Lin Qianqian entered her shooting state.

Ye Zhenzhen could then take a moment to rest.

She took a sip of water from the thermos cup passed to her by Yu Lili, then walked out of the studio: she needed to visit the restroom.

As Ye Zhenzhen was making her way back to the studio, she heard a familiar voice;

"I can’t accept the female lead in this script. If you want me to play the role, you’ll have to replace her. Otherwise, no matter how much you talk to me, I won’t do it..."
