Chapter 197: Attracting Attention!

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Attracting Attention!

"Is Teacher Fang recently at any film set?" Han Jiangxue asked Lin Qianqian again, pretending to make idle conversation.

Since they were all avoiding the topic regarding Ye Zhenzhen, she might as well take the lead then.

She couldn’t stand how everyone was revolving around Ye Zhenzhen and protecting her.

When it came to her own husband, Lin Qianqian’s eyes softened, "What film set would he go to recently? He’s resting at home now, soon ’Ren Pingsheng’ will start filming, we’ll join the set together after this recording is finished."

"I’m so envious of you, being able to join the set with your husband. Unlike me and my husband, I’m often not home because I’m at the film set or out recording shows, and he’s also busy, we barely see each other..."

Lin Qianqian laughed, "What’s there to envy about me? Your husband is so handsome and wealthy, I’m the one who’s envious."

Listening to Lin Qianqian’s flattery, Han Jiangxue’s smile barely concealed her envy as her gaze landed on Ye Zhenzhen, "I heard Zhenzhen’s husband is also very handsome and wealthy, way more impressive than ours.

Even this limited-edition suitcase was bought in pairs.

Zhenzhen, your husband is so capable, when will you bring him out for us all to meet?"

The way she spoke at first was fine, but when she reached the end, the tone of ’capable’ completely changed.

An Xi: ...

Wasn’t there a rumor saying Ye Zhenzhen’s husband is an old man?

Walking ahead, Xu Wanjia’s steps slowed down. She had a feeling that Han Jiangxue was stirring up trouble again. Though this woman appeared gentle on the surface, her words were still extremely targeted.

Everyone online was saying Ye Zhenzhen’s husband was much older. Now Han Jiangxue suddenly brings it up on camera, mentioning how ’capable’ he is. Isn’t this deliberately putting Ye Zhenzhen in an awkward position?

Should Ye Zhenzhen’s husband really be older, how could he compare with Han Jiangxue’s husband?

Suddenly called out by Han Jiangxue, Ye Zhenzhen’s face did not betray any particular emotion, and she pretended to ponder for a moment.

"Hmm... let me think carefully about what you just said..."

Everyone: ...

[Isn’t Ye Zhenzhen’s husband just an old geezer? What’s there to compare with?]

[Wasn’t it said last night that Ye Zhenzhen and Han Jiangxue have a good relationship? How come they’re discussing such a targeted topic first thing in the morning?]

[Madre de Dios, Han Jiangxue, this green tea bitch, is deliberately targeting our Zhenzhen!]

[They say they get along; our Xiao Xue chatting with everyone about husbands is perfectly normal, and now you’re calling it targeting?]

[Exactly, exactly, the other guests’ husbands are generally exposed online; only Ye Zhenzhen’s husband is still unknown, so it’s quite normal for Xiao Xue to be curious.]

A few seconds later, Ye Zhenzhen said to Han Jiangxue with curved lips, "I thought about it seriously, and as for handsomeness, I feel my husband is indeed more handsome. As for being wealthy, let’s not talk about that, comparing men’s wealth is meaningless.

As for being capable, my husband is indeed ’capable’, even you know that. The limited-edition items that your husband can’t buy for you, my husband can buy two for me at a time."

Han Jiangxue’s eyes flashed with mockery, "Then, after the show is over, why don’t we arrange a get-together with our husbands?"

"No thanks. My husband is handsome and wealthy, and so capable, I’m afraid he’ll be coveted," Ye Zhenzhen declined without a second thought.

Let’s just enjoy verbal sparring; to actually bring Song Jinze into this circle to ’gather’, she wasn’t keen, and that man would naturally refuse outright.

Han Jiangxue: "Heh, hehe, I didn’t see it before, but you’re quite protective of your husband."

Ye Zhenzhen, just keep boasting. The more comfortable you’re boasting now, the more painful it will be when you’re slapped in the face later.

"It’s not so much being protective as thinking that having a husband who’s too handsome isn’t necessarily a good thing." As she spoke, Ye Zhenzhen’s face even wore a hint of disdain.

This made the others feel as if Ye Zhenzhen’s husband truly was some sort of unparalleled handsome man.

Han Jiangxue didn’t pick up on Ye Zhenzhen’s lead anymore; she had achieved her objective and would soon let Ye Zhenzhen understand that rash words come with a price.

An Xi: Isn’t Ye Zhenzhen’s husband an old man?

Xu Wanjia: Zhenzhen’s doing great, better to lose face than to lose the battle, if all else fails, she can just keep her husband out of the spotlight forever!

[Pfft, Ye Zhenzhen, you’re bragging like that, does your husband know about it?]

[Has anyone seen Zhenzhen’s husband? Is he really an old geezer or a hunky guy?]

[Anyway, the internet says he’s an old man!]

[Praying here, I’m willing to trade 10 years of my brother’s life to pray for Zhenzhen’s husband to be a hunk!]

[Hey, upstairs, does your brother know he has such a ’good’ sister like you?]

[We have to believe in Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen wouldn’t lie to us.]

[Even if the husband is an old man, she’s under pressure to say these things now. Even if she’s lying this time, I will forgive her.]

Soon, the topic about the guests’ husbands immediately surged to the top of Weibo’s trending searches;

#Zhenzhen’sHusbandIsNotAnOldFart!#

The time in Country Y was now 6:30 in the evening.

Song Jinze leaned back on the sofa in the hotel living room, his eyes fixated on the delicate and fair face of the woman on the tablet screen, along with the subtitles constantly popping up, and he couldn’t help but slightly curl up the corners of his lips.

Standing respectfully by his side, Secretary Zhang said, "President, I’ve contacted the domestic side, and we can make phone calls with madam and the young master as family members."

Cheng Zheng made daily calls to his wife and child, but their company’s president was always busy.

Moreover, madam and Xiao Chen had gone to participate in the recording of a show, so even if he wanted to contact them, there was no way to do so.

This had been worrying him, the secretary.

During the meal just now, he had seen the posts on Weibo where madam praised the president, and he got so excited after seeing them; so madam actually praises the president like this in public.

Thus, after dinner in the restaurant and returning to the hotel room, he had eagerly taken out the tablet, clicked on the Weibo posts he had seen earlier, and handed them over to the president for his perusal...

"Do you think she’s missing me?"

All of a sudden, Secretary Zhang heard his boss’s question.

He looked up and saw the president’s gaze still on the tablet screen, with madam’s face looking clear and stunning.

"Missing, she must be missing President Song, otherwise, why would she praise you like that?" Secretary Zhang said so.

Song Jinze returned the tablet, his gentle smile on his handsome face deepening a bit, and he spoke in a low voice, "Hmm, arrange the phone call for me, ideally before bedtime tonight."

"Huh?" Secretary Zhang thought this was way too sudden.

He had arranged the call for Monday or Tuesday!

Song Jinze’s brow slightly raised, "Secretary Zhang, I was thinking that the project bonus for this month might be a little too small, but after seeing the look on your face, I suddenly feel, I might be giving too much..."

"No, no, please don’t think like that, President, I will get right on it, straight away! About the bonus, please feel free to add, I will make sure you are satisfied!"
