Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 169 Tired!

Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Tired!

Xiao Yi had no activities recently, and he spent the week after wrapping up the drama series just sleeping in at home.

On Tuesday, he happened to run into Ye Zhenzhen at Lemon Channel, and afterwards she went to sign with Baisheng Media, but he didn’t follow her.

He could have gone with her, but considering it would have a negative impact on Ye Zhenzhen, he left Hujin directly.

He had slept all day at home today as well, and had just woken up. Holding his phone and scrolling through Weibo, he learned that Ye Zhenzhen had taken Song Yuchen to record a variety show again.

Among the string of hot searches on Weibo, he quickly noticed Ye Zhenzhen’s name.

"Is Ye Zhenzhen remarrying or inheriting an estate?" Xiao Yi frowned as he clicked on this hot search.

When he read the content within, he burst out laughing;

"Hahaha! If Ye Zhenzhen could really inherit Song Jinze’s estate, that would actually be a good thing!"

Then, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but read out a netizen’s comment: "Ye Zhenzhen’s crappy old husband doesn’t even give her money, if there really was money, why wouldn’t he fund her to join the production crew?"

This...

Xiao Yi thought of Song Jinze’s lifeless and rigid face, and when he imagined netizens calling him a crappy old man, he couldn’t help but laugh.

There had been hot searches about Ye Zhenzhen’s husband being an old man during the last episode, but they were quickly taken down by Secretary Zhang, and then there were more hot searches about Ye Zhenzhen herself after that.

So the notion of Ye Zhenzhen’s husband being a crappy old man never really took off.

The reason it persisted today was thanks to Secretary Zhang being too busy right now.

It was morning in Country Y, and he was attending a meeting with his boss, too engrossed in taking minutes to have any time to check Weibo.

Speaking of Xiao Yi, he had actually been quite busy when Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen were recording the first episode.

After taking pictures of oranges for Ye Zhenzhen, he hadn’t been paying much attention to Weibo.

Even when Ye Zhenzhen was live streaming on Weibo last time, he was filming.

Otherwise, he would definitely have stepped in to clarify things for her.

Afterward, that incident just passed by, and Ye Zhenzhen got her popularity, so naturally, as someone with a certain influence in the entertainment circle, he couldn’t speak out and steal Ye Zhenzhen’s thunder anymore.

But now it was different, he had time and was bored out of his mind, having slept all day he felt quite refreshed, and the people discussing were talking about Song Jinze, a bold idea popped into his head.

He wanted to join in the discussion on this topic!

His old alt account had been taken down by Feige, and Xiao Yi had just registered a new alt for himself.

Since he didn’t have to pay for anything, merely to comment and leave messages on Weibo, he didn’t need to verify anything and quickly logged into Weibo after a few casual clicks.

Seeing a netizen asking: How old is Ye Zhenzhen’s husband actually?

Xiao Yi replied: Probably 82.

Song Jinze was two years older than him, 28, reverse the numbers, and you get 82, an 82-year-old crappy old man; he felt it was a perfect response.

Netizen: If Ye Zhenzhen doesn’t want the inheritance, she could just divorce the crappy old man and marry Shu Huaiqing, which would also be a good choice.

Xiao Yi: It wouldn’t be Shu Huaiqing’s turn, either.

Other netizens quickly replied: Exactly, there are plenty of rich handsome guys, I’m still single, Zhenzhen could consider me.

Xiao Yi: Are you used to drafting your sweet dreams on Weibo before going to sleep?

Question: How handsome must an old man be to father someone as good-looking as Song Yuchen?

Xiao Yi replied: Old men don’t give birth, they’re just responsible for making money and providing.

Having answered the question, Xiao Yi’s fingertips paused.

Gradually, the smile on Xiao Yi’s face faded quite a bit, and when he looked at the comments on his phone again, his interest had waned.

And Ye Zhenzhen, did she know about Song Yuchen’s background?

Or to put it another way, could she be so in love with Song Jinze that it wouldn’t matter to her whose Song Yuchen was...?

Suddenly, Xiao Yi only felt his lucid mind become muddled.

Tired, he didn’t want to think anymore.

...

Early Saturday morning.

Han Jiangxue, who had gone to bed late, was also the first to wake up.

By 6 a.m., she had crawled out of bed.

After pondering for most of the night, she thought of a plan—she could sneak out early in the morning to buy clothes.

By the time she returned, the others would have woken up and nobody would know.

The production crew had only taken their phones, but she still had some cash in her backpack, which was enough for her to buy some warm clothes.

When Han Jiangxue left her room, Shen Yibo was still sleeping. She didn’t wake Shen Yibo up, not because she was afraid of disturbing the little guy’s sleep, but because bringing Shen Yibo might interfere with her plan.

However, when she reached the hotel lobby, she ran into Xiaowen and Director Fei, who were sitting on the sofa chatting leisurely.

Seeing Han Jiangxue come down, Xiaowen greeted her, "Teacher Han, you’re up so early?"

"Ah, yes, just taking a stroll," Han Jiangxue replied, feeling somewhat guilty.

"Teacher Han, are you going to get your luggage? Come on, I’ll help you." Xiaowen got up from the sofa and headed towards the parking lot outside with Han Jiangxue.

It was late the previous night, and the guests’ luggage had been taken to the coach by the staff, and none of them had taken their suitcases when they came down.

Director Fei and Xiaowen were discussing how to wake the guests up.

Because the production team planned to start live broadcasting at 7 a.m. and then head to Yangping Village.

Han Jiangxue’s step faltered slightly, and she said with an awkward smile, "Xiaowen, I want to go out for a bit now. I’ll come back and get my suitcase later."

It didn’t matter whether she took the suitcase or not; there wasn’t a single piece of clothing inside that she could use.

"That won’t do, Teacher Han," Xiaowen objected outright. "The production team is starting at 7 a.m.

You can’t go anywhere right now, and isn’t Little Yibo still in the room? If Little Yibo wakes up and finds you’re not there, and if the cameraman brother captures it in the live broadcast, that probably won’t look good for you," Xiaowen said gently, but her words left no room for negotiation.

Han Jiangxue tried to negotiate for herself, "I’ll just go out for a bit, half an hour will do."

She could take a taxi, find the nearest market nearby, look for an open clothing store, and buy a padded jacket or something like that; it wouldn’t take long.

Director Fei also stood up and said to Han Jiangxue, "That won’t do, Teacher Han. These are the rules of the production team. I have to abide by the production rules and also ensure the guests’ personal safety.

After all, you venturing out alone, especially during our filming period, if something really happened, no one could take responsibility."

He remembered the last time they recorded the show, Ye Zhenzhen was followed by the cameraman brother and that had prevented serious issues from occurring. This time, with Han Jiangxue suggesting she would go out alone, Director Fei knew he would not agree.

If they weren’t mid-shoot, he wouldn’t care about these things at all.
