Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 190: Your Turn!

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Your Turn!

All the little ones gathered around and took their seats by the dining table.

By this time, Shen Yibo had completely ignored Han Jiangxue, who was standing by; his eyes were fixed only on Ye Zhenzhen and the deliciously sizzling pork belly roasting on the rack.

After serving out the soup, Lin Qianqian called Han Jiangxue to sit down, "Xiao Xue, you’re here! We were just saying we’d call you when dinner was ready. Come and try the soup I’ve made."

Han Jiangxue nodded, "Okay, it looks like it will be tasty."

The soup that Lin Qianqian had made was a milky white color, which, compared to the clear soup she made at noon, indeed looked much prettier.

Han Jiangxue didn’t sit anywhere else, but right beside Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, let me help you."

Ye Zhenzhen placed the first batch of cooked meat into a plate, looked up at Han Jiangxue, and passed her the tongs, "Okay, then will you do the grilling?"

Han Jiangxue: ...

She had only offered politely, not expecting Ye Zhenzhen to actually delegate the task to her.

"Come on, take it," Ye Zhenzhen waved the tongs in her hand towards Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue felt a sudden wave of frustration but maintained a light smile on her face, reached out to take the tongs, and glanced at the marinated meat slices.

She gritted her teeth and started placing them onto the grill one by one.

Shen Yibo cheerfully exclaimed from the side, "Mommy is so awesome, Mommy, you can grill meat too!"

Han Jiangxue nodded, "Yes, I can. Son, just wait to eat."

[What’s with Han Jiangxue, saying something but reluctant to take the tongs?]

[She’s probably just paying lip-service, ugh, so fake!]

[What are you all saying? Our Xiao Xue was not reluctant at all. It was clearly Ye Jianjian who was rude, throwing the tongs at our Xiao Xue without a second word.]

[Seriously, some people can really spout nonsense with their eyes wide open. When has our Zhenzhen ever thrown the tongs?]

[Let’s be rational here and speak fairly. Han Jiangxue just arrived, it’s only right she does some work.]

Ye Zhenzhen cast a glance at Han Jiangxue without a change in expression, got up to wash her hands in the kitchen, then came back to wrap grilled meat in lettuce for the little ones.

Xu Wanjia had used the stems of the Chinese cabbage for stir-frying just before, and all the leaves were left, which she had washed many times with hot water to ensure they were perfectly clean before placing them in a dish.

Ye Zhenzhen wrapped a meat roll and first offered it to the youngest, Yang Yike, "The first one is for Yi Yi, our little darling."

Yang Yike’s fair cheeks showed a cute smile, and her baby voice was soft, "Thank you, Auntie!"

"You’re welcome."

Xu Wanjia and the other two were also done with their tasks and sat down at the dining table. Xu Wanjia said to Ye Zhenzhen with a smile, "Zhenzhen, you take care of Xiao Chen, and we’ll take care of our own kids."

Lin Qianqian and An Xi nodded in agreement, saying in unison, "Yes, we’ll take care of the children."

After all, everyone had been busy together for most of the day, and now that it was time to eat, it was only natural that they shouldn’t let Ye Zhenzhen continue serving everyone’s children alone.

Fang Xiaoyu chimed in, "That’s great, I want Mommy to do it. Aunt Zhenzhen, you don’t have to work so hard. You can just wrap the meat for Xiao Chen."

Ye Zhenzhen responded with a smile, "Alright, let Mommy wrap the meat for you."

Song Yuchen said, "I can do it myself."

The little guy thought, wrapping a meat roll is no big deal. Although he hadn’t done it before, he had just watched Ye Zhenzhen wrap one for Sister Yi Yi, and he learned by watching.

He wanted to do it himself to give Ye Zhenzhen a break.

"Alright, you can do it yourself." As for Song Yuchen, Ye Zhenzhen continued to adhere to the principle of letting him be happy as long as it involved no danger; she would let him be as long as the little one was healthy and safe.

Gu Xiao looked at An Xi, "Then make me a rou rou."

"Okay, just wait."

[Everyone is so loving, this scene is really united and warm.]

[Switching to An Xi and her son for this episode was really a wise choice, that Wu Yuerou and her son were just not up to par.]

[Exactly, that mother-son duo was always causing trouble.]

[Just saying that last episode when it was all bluster, this one looks so much better, turns out it’s because the troublemaker is gone.]

Han Jiangxue brushed the meat on the grill to evenly spread the seasoning, feeling ignored by everyone, which irritated her.

Why should they all be eating while she is left to grill the meat alone?

Had she known earlier, she wouldn’t have been so polite to Ye Zhenzhen, thinking back now, Ye Zhenzhen did it on purpose.

However, she immediately reflected on herself, realizing that lately she always seemed to get drawn into Ye Zhenzhen’s emotional games, or fall into the ’traps’ Ye Zhenzhen set for her.

This was not a good thing.

With this thought, Han Jiangxue took a deep breath, knowing she couldn’t easily let Ye Zhenzhen influence her emotions. Her goal was to outdo Ye Zhenzhen and reverse the bad impression the audience had of her from the first episode of the reality show.

So, she turned her head to Shen Yibo with a smile, "Son, just wait a little bit more, okay? Mommy will wrap some rou rou for you once this batch is grilled well, okay?"

Shen Yibo nodded, "Okay."

But he really wanted to eat the rou rou, didn’t know how to wrap it, and didn’t dare to hurry Han Jiangxue.

When everyone was saying to let their moms wrap rou rou for them, he stayed silent because his mom was busy, and he should wait for her to finish, not bother her.

Ye Zhenzhen noticed the expression on Shen Yibo’s face and handed him the rou rou she had wrapped, "Here you go, little guy."

Shen Yibo’s eyes, which were dim before, instantly lit up as he reached out with his chubby little hands to take the meat wrapped in vegetables from Ye Zhenzhen, "Thank you, Aunt Zhenzhen!"

"You’re welcome, eat up!" Ye Zhenzhen smiled and then added, "After eating, drink some soup, and then Auntie will wrap more for you, okay?"

"Okay!" Shen Yibo was so happy that he got to eat rou rou.

Song Yuchen handed the wrapped rou rou to Ye Zhenzhen, "Mom, here, eat!"

Ye Zhenzhen was slightly surprised and immediately took the food from the little guy, happily saying, "Thank you, son!"

"You’re welcome!"

[Aww, finally someone is paying attention to our Little Yibo, waiting for Han Jiangxue would take ages, and there’s still so much meat left to grill.]

[Ye Zhenzhen did it on purpose, she purposely had our Xiao Xue grill the meat.]

[Get lost, idiot!]

[Good job, Zhenzhen, always so considerate towards the kids!]

[Let’s also praise our cool Brother Xiao Chen, he’s really considerate and caring towards his mom, how heartwarming!]

From the side, Han Jiangxue clenched the brush in her hand tightly, teeth gritted, her mood that had just calmed down was agitated again by this sight.

Ye Zhenzhen was doing it on purpose!

She meant to have her grill the meat, then to charm her son, and then the little fatty Shen Yibo even cooperated fully with her.

It was infuriating!

And Song Yuchen, before the first episode, obviously had a bad relationship with Ye Zhenzhen, but now he was completely won over by her, and this warm interaction that should have belonged to her, Han Jiangxue...
