Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 191 Who Deserves Pity?

Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Who Deserves Pity?

Despite her inner anger, Han Jiangxue controlled her facial expression very well.

She smiled at Ye Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, thank you for taking care of my son. You go ahead and eat first, make sure Xiao Chen is well taken care of.

Once I’m done here, I’ll come and have Yibo wrap some meat for me to eat."

Han Jiangxue’s words carried a clear message that Ye Zhenzhen could not mistake, which was to keep an eye on herself and Xiao Chen. Shen Yibo was Han Jiangxue’s son, and she would handle it herself.

And upon hearing Han Jiangxue’s words, Shen Yibo also became unhappy on the spot.

He wanted Aunt Zhenzhen to wrap the meat for him.

This meat wasn’t spicy, it was grilled until fragrant, so delicious, and he wanted to eat more.

Ye Zhenzhen took a sip of water, her lips curved slightly as she replied, "No problem, you still have to grill a third round of pork belly, and after that, there are these marrow bones, which might take some time.

Don’t rush, take your time. If the little guy gets hungry, I’ll wrap some meat for him to eat first."

Hearing Ye Zhenzhen’s words, Shen Yibo raised his voice to Ye Zhenzhen and said, "Thank you, Auntie, you are the most beautiful! The meat you wrap is also the tastiest~"

[Hahaha! I noticed something, this episode Little Yibo has gotten sweeter with his words!]

[Exactly! Super good at compliments, especially towards Ye Zhenzhen]

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t respond to Shen Yibo’s flattery, merely giving Han Jiangxue a faint glance, their eyes meeting for a brief two seconds.

The message exchanged in that instant was very clear.

She, Ye Zhenzhen, was doing it on purpose!

Han Jiangxue had pretended to offer help in front of her just now, but in fact, Ye Zhenzhen had originally planned to finish grilling the meat on her own.

However, since Han Jiangxue had volunteered to help, naturally she couldn’t dismiss Han Jiangxue’s face and simply let her have it.

Han Jiangxue: ...

Furious! Absolutely furious!

Shen Yibo, this little double-dealer!

So, she really fell for Ye Zhenzhen’s trick just now, she shouldn’t have offered to help at all.

Ye Zhenzhen continued to hand over the meat she had wrapped to Shen Yibo, "Here you go, little guy. Eat up."

Shen Yibo happily ate, thinking to himself that what grandma said was right; if he wanted to eat something or needed anything, he should go to Aunt Zhenzhen, and Aunt Zhenzhen would definitely help him.

"That’s really troublesome of you, Zhenzhen," said Han Jiangxue, wishing she could kick Ye Zhenzhen out of the program right that moment.

Ye Zhenzhen picked up a bowl and took a sip of the turnip soup, meeting Han Jiangxue’s seemingly genuine yet insincere smile, she softly said, "Xiao Xue, have some soup while grilling the meat, it’s not too hot now, just perfect for drinking."

Lin Qianqian chimed in, "Yeah, Xiao Xue, have some soup before you continue grilling. The soup I made is really tasty."

Xu Wanjia added regretfully, "Ah, it’s a pity I don’t know how to grill meat, Xiao Xue is really being troubled this time."

Xu Wanjia’s words carried a somewhat intentional undertone.

Internally, she was leaning towards Ye Zhenzhen. Others might not have sensed the spark in the conversation just now between Ye Zhenzhen and Han Jiangxue, but she was aware of it.

Han Jiangxue had secretly spent a fortune to steal a script that was in Ye Zhenzhen’s hands, turning it into a huge farce. If it wasn’t for Xiao Yi and Xia Zhi’s rescue that day, Ye Zhenzhen’s situation in the industry might have been quite awkward right now.

Therefore, even if Ye Zhenzhen turned against Han Jiangxue now, Xu Wanjia would still speak up for Ye Zhenzhen.

Seeing everyone acting ceremoniously around Han Jiangxue, after An Xi placed the neatly wrapped meat into Ranran’s bowl, she also smiled at Han Jiangxue and said,

"Xiao Xue, you’ve worked hard. I also can’t cook. When you weren’t here just now, I was always helping out, but now you don’t need a helper anymore..."

[Our poor Xiao Xue, everyone else is eating, and she’s the only one working.]

[Pfft! When Han Jiangxue was sleeping by herself just now, why didn’t you say anything?]

[Exactly, they really know how to seek attention.]

[Moreover, wasn’t it Han Jiangxue herself who wanted to cook? No one is complaining, and here you keyboard warriors go babbling about it.]

These four sharp remarks invisibly stabbed at Han Jiangxue.

Everyone’s in the same circle, and when it comes to speaking and acting, none of them are really bad. All they wanted to convey was the same message.

You, Han Jiangxue, weren’t here just now; we finished the work, and now it’s your turn to be busy. Don’t expect others to take over your tasks.

At this moment, Han Jiangxue had to swallow her resentment along with her teeth, still wearing a smile on her face to thank everyone for their concern.

How could she eat anything now, feeling completely unable to stomach any food. She only smiled and said, "It’s fine, you all eat. I’ll eat later."

The rest paid no further attention to Han Jiangxue and continued eating their own meals, then looked after the little ones.

Song Yuchen, apart from eating himself, also taught Shen Yibo to wrap roasted meat to eat, and Shen Yibo was very happy doing so.

Even the large bowl of radish soup was all drunk up.

By the time Han Jiangxue was about finished grilling, nearly everyone had eaten their fill.

Only the two little ones, Shen Yibo and Gu Xiaoran, were still nibbling on the last two big marrow bones.

After washing her hands in the kitchen, Han Jiangxue came out, drank a couple of sips of soup, and ate a few pieces of radish—if it weren’t for the pretty good taste, she wouldn’t even have wanted to eat the radishes.

She was furious!

...

In a rundown rental apartment in Jiangcheng, Wu Yuerou sat at a shabby dining table eating vegetable noodles.

The phone on the table was live-streaming the second episode of "Mom’s Companion."

An Hao got into trouble; their family’s entire property had been seized, including the luxury house they lived in before, cars, and all valuable items.

She didn’t even know that An Hao, besides cheating on her, had also been accepting shady money and involved in many other things she was totally unaware of.

Currently, even though she was still not fired from Lemon Channel, she basically got no exposure and could only help out behind the scenes, earning a meager salary.

An Ruilin was now a burden she couldn’t afford; she had no choice but to send her child temporarily to her parents’ home.

Wu Yuerou watched the barrage of comments frequently mentioning her on the live stream, her expression gradually becoming fierce. She was already in such a sorry state, yet those people still wouldn’t let her be, still cursing her in the live stream...

Her eyes burned with anger as she glared at Ye Zhenzhen on the live stream. It was all thanks to Ye Zhenzhen that this happened—if not for her, An Hao wouldn’t have been investigated, and her family wouldn’t have fallen apart.

And now, why was An Xi, that little bitch, appearing on the live stream instead of her?

Moreover, it looked like An Xi had a very good relationship with Ye Zhenzhen. These two bitches were actually mixing together!

"Ye Zhenzhen! You cheap woman, just you wait, I won’t let you gloat for long.

And An Xi too—knowing full well I can’t stand that cheap woman Ye Zhenzhen, you still rushed to curry favor with her. Hah, idiot. Just you wait too; dare to snatch my spot, I’ll let you know the consequences!"
