Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 195 Wake Up Call!

Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Wake Up Call!

Before Han Jiangxue’s appearance on the show, they had already discussed their strategy.

If Ye Zhenzhen’s topic discussion exceeded Han Jiangxue’s, they would use an online water army to hype up rumors that the two had a great relationship...

Last time, they hadn’t thought it through and had hired an online water army to smear Ye Zhenzhen, which backfired and turned her into an infamous star.

But this time, they changed their strategy—rather than spending money on an online water army to smear Ye Zhenzhen, it would be better to use one to beautify the relationship between the two.

Netizens also say that where once there was Han Jiangxue, there was Ye Zhenzhen, but now wherever Ye Zhenzhen is, there is Han Jiangxue.

Given this, they naturally wanted to ride on Ye Zhenzhen’s newfound controversial fame to climb even higher.

...

On Sunday early morning, An Xi was the first to wake up.

She set her alarm clock for 6 a.m. before going to bed last night. When the alarm went off, Gu Xiaoran didn’t move at all.

There were cameras in the room today; even if they were covered with a towel, the sound could still be heard.

An Xi, worried Gu Xiaoran would lose her temper like she did yesterday morning at the hotel, got herself ready and then went out to look for Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen had also set her alarm for 6 a.m. By the time An Xi arrived, she and Xiao Chen were already neatly dressed, with Xiao Chen going into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up.

Ye Zhenzhen opened the door, and An Xi came in from outside, rubbing her hands and saying, "It’s so cold out there, oh my god!"

She felt frozen stiff just walking from her room to Ye Zhenzhen’s.

No wonder An Xi felt cold; the temperature was several degrees below zero.

Ye Zhenzhen asked, "An Xi, why are you here so early? What’s up?"

As she spoke, Ye Zhenzhen also looked behind An Xi, not seeing Gu Xiaoran outside. She asked, "Just you? Where’s Ranran?"

"He’s still sleeping. I’ll go call him in a bit," An Xi replied, then pursed her lips and said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, can I partner with you to do the grocery shopping and cooking?"

Ye Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow, "How would we partner up?"

"Later, when you shop, I’ll carry for you. I’ll wash the vegetables, be your assistant. You don’t have to cook for me, just teach me how to choose groceries and make three dishes and a soup, can you do that?"

An Xi had thought it through before going to bed last night: she couldn’t complete today’s task alone.

She had to find someone to help her, and Ye Zhenzhen was her first choice.

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

"Zhenzhen, don’t be silent, if you don’t help me, no one else can. I’ll have to quit the show..."

[What am I hearing so early in the morning? Who’s talking about quitting the show?]

[It must be An Xi, this is Ye Zhenzhen’s live streaming room, how come An Xi is there?]

[Ye Zhenzhen, quickly lift the towel off, I want to see what’s going on.]

[Let me explain, guys. It’s just that An Xi can’t cook and she’s asking Ye Zhenzhen for help, that’s all.]

[Ye Jianjian can’t even complete the task herself, and she has spare time to help someone else? Hilarious.]

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a few seconds, then nodded, "Okay, since you’re asking for my help, let’s make it clear that you’ll help with whatever I ask later."

"No problem!"

As long as Ye Zhenzhen was willing to help, An Xi would do anything.

After making an agreement with Ye Zhenzhen, An Xi called towards the bathroom, "Xiao Chen, are you done washing up yet?"

Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows again, "And what are you calling my son for?"

An Xi giggled and said, "I was hoping Xiao Chen could help me out with something."

"What kind of help?"

"I’ll talk to him when he comes out."

Song Yuchen came out from the bathroom, looking up with his little head and asking An Xi, "Aunt Xixi, did you want to see me for something?"

An Xi took out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from her pocket, "Yeah, I needed your help, here’s a lollipop for you, could you..."

While speaking, An Xi squatted down and whispered into the little one’s ear, "Can you help me and wake up Gu Xiaoran?

Auntie knows Xiao Chen is the coolest kid, so you’ll help Auntie out, right?"

Song Yuchen blinked his shiny black eyes, puzzled, "Auntie, why don’t you go yourself?"

An Xi pouted with a helpless look on her face, then leaned in and whispered again, "Because Auntie isn’t on good terms with Gu Xiaoran!

Plus, I’m live streaming right now, Auntie doesn’t want to make a fool of herself asking Gu Xiaoran to get up in front of everyone!"

If possible, An Xi really wanted to go coax Gu Xiaoran out of bed herself, but for now, when she was alone with him, she truly had no way to handle the little guy.

Song Yuchen thought about how the relationship between Gu Xiaoran and Aunt An Xi seemed really bad yesterday.

He let out a deliberately deep sigh, "Alright, I’ll help you."

"Hey! Xiao Chen, you’re so cool! Here’s a lollipop for you." An Xi handed the lollipop she was holding to Song Yuchen.

The little one expressed disdain, "I don’t want it. That’s the lollipop Aunt Xiaowen gave to Gu Xiaoran last night, right? You should give it back to him, otherwise he’ll dislike you even more."

An Xi: ...

This little guy is too clever!

And not to mention, he looked pretty darn cool when he was speaking.

Ye Zhenzhen was also startled; she always felt that Song Yuchen’s demeanor and way of refusing were very similar to Song Jinze’s...

Ah~ Why was she thinking about that man early in the morning!

Before he went out, Song Yuchen said goodbye to Ye Zhenzhen, "Mom, I’m going to find Gu Xiaoran. I’ll be right back."

"Okay."

...

Song Yuchen followed An Xi out and wasn’t back in his room yet when they happened to run into Shen Yibo, who had gotten up to play with Xiao Chen.

Shen Yibo was wearing a thick down jacket and even had the hood up.

"Xiao Chen, Aunt Xixi, where are you going?"

Song Yuchen said in distaste, "To wake up Gu Xiaoran. He’s clinging to his bed."

Even his mom can’t wake him up.

"Hehe, then I want to come along too." Waking up Gu Xiaoran, now that sounded like fun.

An Xi replied with a smile, "Of course, then Auntie thanks Little Yibo!"

"You’re welcome, Auntie!"

After entering the room, the three of them found that Gu Xiaoran was still sound asleep in bed and sleeping very soundly at that.

Song Yuchen approached and shouted, "Gu Xiaoran, get up!"

Shen Yibo: "Brother Ranran, wake up!"

Gu Xiaoran in bed: "Ha... hu... Z...z..."

"Gu Xiaoran! Get up now!"

"Brother Ranran, wake up!"

After a few continuous shouts, Gu Xiaoran in bed finally showed a little movement. He rolled over and said in a very impatient voice, "An Xi... so annoying, don’t disturb my sleep!"

An Xi: ...

She silently sorted out clothes on the side, ready for Gu Xiaoran to wear them as soon as he got up.

[Hahahaha, this scene is just like when my buddies come over to my place to play and they try to wake me up by shouting at the side of my bed.]

[I have such memories too, it’s such an accurate recreation!]

[If possible, I’d like to go back to their age, it’s just so great!]

Shen Yibo leaned in close and with a laugh pointed out to Gu Xiaoran’s annoyed face, "Gu Xiaoran actually drools in his sleep, hahaha!"
