Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 183 Adding Trouble!

Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Adding Trouble!

Han Jiangxue’s words couldn’t be any clearer, even Song Yuchen heard it.

The little dumpling looked up at Han Jiangxue with his small head, his tender little face looking a bit fierce, "Auntie, all the dishes my mom made were finished by Shen Yibo and Gu Xiaoran, not because my mom made too little!"

The little guy continued to add, "And Shen Yibo and Gu Xiaoran have already finished a bowl of rice, and they still want to have a second bowl."

[My Xiao Chen is so good at retorting!]

[This isn’t a retort; it’s simply telling the truth to prevent some people from twisting right and wrong.]

[Exactly, Han Jiangxue’s insinuations are really hard not to misinterpret.]

[What do you mean by misinterpretation? Xiao Xue is just stating the facts. What’s wrong with that? If there wasn’t a lack of food, why did the child’s dish disappear after just a few bites?]

[Damn, fanatics, you call what those two little guys ate just a few bites? Was that just a few bites?]

[Some people’s deluded fans can really get lost. Don’t flaunt your presence here among Zhenzhen’s fans. It could lower the IQ of the entire live stream audience.]

Han Jiangxue’s slightly smiling face suddenly stiffened, the outcome was completely unexpected.

For a moment, faced with Song Yuchen’s rebuttal, she found herself at a loss for words.

Gu Xiaoran held a pair of chopsticks with some cabbage, frozen in mid-air, and looking at the almost clean plates, she laughed awkwardly, "Xiao Chen, I’m sorry, I was just too hungry, I didn’t mean to finish your dishes."

An Xi patted Gu Xiaoran on the shoulder from the side, "Ranran, Mom also made stir-fried radish with meat, if you’re not full, let’s have another helping when we get back."

Then she apologized to Xiao Chen and Ye Zhenzhen, "Sorry for the trouble, I really can’t cook, so, Ranran was probably too hungry."

This apology was sincere, and at the same time, An Xi felt relieved that fortunately, her son had managed to have a meal at Ye Zhenzhen’s.

This morning when she said it was fine for the child to miss a meal, it was out of anger.

If her own son were to really go hungry, as a mother, she would find it unbearable.

After all, it’s a fact that she can’t cook.

Ye Zhenzhen replied, "It’s no trouble at all, it’s no big deal for a child to eat a little food."

Gu Xiaoran thought An Xi was going to take him away and not let him eat here anymore, and he immediately felt resistant.

He twisted his little body, not allowing An Xi’s hand to rest on his shoulder, "I don’t want to go back and eat, you can’t cook, and the food you make tastes awful."

An Xi sighed helplessly, "Hey, Gu Xiaoran, give me some face, alright? I might not be good at cooking, but I’m still trying to learn..."

Fine, it doesn’t matter anymore; no point in saying more, can’t cook means can’t cook, and there’s no point in arguing about it.

After all, from yesterday until now, her relationship with her son hadn’t improved, so if she was criticized, then so be it.

If her mother-in-law saw this scene, she would be told off again with things like, don’t criticize the child in front of others, the child is young, and he’s a boy, you need to protect his self-esteem...

That’s the consequence of marrying above one’s station; everyone else can have self-esteem except her.

Even if she had any, it would be outright ignored.

[This is criticism straight from her own son!]

[I have mixed feelings about this Gu Xiaoran, I like him and yet can’t quite bring myself to, ugh, this kid.]

[I love our Xiao Chen, hahaha, so assertive in defending his mom.]

Ye Zhenzhen saw all of Han Jiangxue’s subtle facial expressions.

This woman had schemed behind the scenes to snatch her script role before joining the variety show, and now she was trying to play these tricks and set the agenda again on the show. She really underestimated Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen patted Gu Xiaoran and Shen Yibo on the heads and smiled, "It’s okay if the dishes are finished, Auntie has lots of ingredients here. If you like meat, Auntie can make you some grilled meat, how does that sound?"

"And tonight, Auntie has also prepared to stew marrow bone soup for Xiao Chen. If you want, you can also come over to drink it tonight."

When Ye Zhenzhen mentioned ingredients and marrow bones, she specifically glanced at Han Jiangxue, who was standing in line behind her when exchanging ingredients earlier.

She knew that Han Jiangxue only exchanged for a pound of pork belly and didn’t get any marrow bones. Even if making a soup, one made with pork belly and radish couldn’t be as delicious as one simmered with marrow bones.

Coming into her, Ye Zhenzhen’s room, to mock her?

Han Jiangxue must have some serious illness.

All three little ones jumped up in unison at the mention of grilled meat, hopping and cheering excitedly, "Yay, yay! We get to eat meat!"

[Ha ha ha ha! Zhenzhen never disappoints me.]

[Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen are such a great mother-son team.]

[These three little darlings are really giving great support too. No wonder my Mei Zhenzhen is so charming, her allure is just too strong!]

[Go Zhenzhen, you kids keep it up. Auntie loves to see you speaking your minds, don’t be too cute!]

An Xi pursed her lips and gave Ye Zhenzhen a shy smile, "Zhenzhen, can I also have dinner with you? I have a little bit of meat and radish at mine. Can I bring it over and join you? I may not be good at cooking, but I can help you wash vegetables and look after the children."

Earlier, when cooking in the kitchen, An Xi had chopped half a white radish and a few slices of pork belly, cleaned them, poured oil in the pan, and then tossed the meat and vegetables straight in to stir-fry.

After stir-frying for a while, she felt it was quite good and not as dangerous as she had imagined with oil splattering everywhere...

Only then did she look down and realize she hadn’t even turned on the stove.

Then she shakily tried to light the stove, but within a minute, there was a loud sizzling noise from the pan, which scared her so much she even tossed the spatula aside.

She quickly grabbed a bowl and poured water into the pan.

When it was nearly done, Han Jiangxue came looking for Shen Yibo, checked the pot of food, added salt and seasoning, and said it was ready to eat.

But that dish, even thinking about it now, An Xi felt it was terrible.

So since Gu Xiaoran was eating at Ye Zhenzhen’s, she wanted to join them there too.

She had watched the first episode, where Ye Zhenzhen made dumplings in the morning and later cooked noodles for Shen Yibo, all prepared very well.

The dumplings and noodles looked so appetizing...

[Ha ha ha, An Xi, you’ve made a wise choice.]

[I just came over from An Xi’s live stream, and her cooking was truly absurd, no wonder Gu Xiaoran didn’t go back with her for dinner.]

[What’s wrong with An Xi’s cooking? Someone tell me? Ha ha ha, you realize not everyone is as versatile as our Zhenzhen after this comparison!]

[An Xi was stir-frying earlier, and after a long time, she realized she hadn’t turned on the fire. Then, she even threw her spatula away...]

[Ha ha ha ha! Just imagining that scene cracks me up!]

Han Jiangxue: ...

This stupid woman, An Xi, is so eager to butter up to Ye Zhenzhen.

If it were Wu Yuerou here, she would have retorted to Ye Zhenzhen long ago.

Are the kids without their own mothers? Why should they have to eat at Ye Zhenzhen’s place, and why is Ye Zhenzhen trying to build a reputation as a person full of love?
