Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 226 Reversal

Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Reversal

The interview had just ended, when the sounds of children playing and laughing came from outside the house;

"Hahaha, I’m the first!"

Lin Qianqian stood up and said to everyone with a smile, "It’s Xiao Yu, they’re back."

Xu Wanjia also stood up and followed Lin Qianqian outside, seeing Xiao Yiyi, who was following behind Fang Xiaoyu, smiling happily, and her heart relaxed a lot.

Xiao Yiyi giggled, "I’m second!"

When Xiao Yiyi saw Xu Wanjia, she rushed over excitedly and hugged her thigh, "Baby~ were you waiting for me?"

At the critical moment, Xiao Yiyi did not forget her mission for the day, role-playing.

Xu Wanjia crouched down and hugged her daughter, her face filled with a doting and tender smile, "Yes, I was waiting for Xiao Yiyi, the little head of the household, to come back and prepare something delicious for me."

Xiao Yiyi pouted, her voice milky and childlike, "No problem, I traded for a lot of yummy things for baby~"

[Xiao Yiyi is so cute, I want a daughter like her.]

[Hahaha, I also want a little milk dumpling like that.]

Coming behind the two girls were Song Yuchen and Shen Yibo.

Halfway there, Song Yuchen saw Shen Yibo was too tired, so he took his own basket and also helped Shen Yibo carry his basket.

Now, as they entered the yard, he happened to be carrying two baskets.

Han Jiangxue came out of the room and saw Song Yuchen handing a basket to Shen Yibo. She didn’t say anything; she just pretended not to see it.

At a glance, it was obvious that Song Yuchen had willingly helped Shen Yibo carry the basket.

She surely wouldn’t praise Song Yuchen in public. Since Song Yuchen was already smarter than Shen Yibo, she really couldn’t bring herself to openly praise Ye Zhenzhen’s stepson.

"Mom! I traded for Rourou!" Little Yibo excitedly shouted to Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue nodded and crouched to hug Little Yibo, "Yibo is awesome~"

"Of course, at noon I’ll cook you some delicious Rourou."

"Great, I’m looking forward to it~"

[Our Xiao Xue and Yibo are so cute interacting, everyone has to vote for them tonight.]

[Definitely voting, we can’t let Xiao Xue be without travel funds like last time.]

Ye Zhenzhen stroked Xiao Chen’s head and asked, "Are you cold?"

"Not cold at all, so warm. We found an uncle who gave us a lot of vegetables and meat, look..."

The little guy said, rummaging through the basket to show Ye Zhenzhen.

Seeing the ribs, some meat, a couple of potatoes, some cabbage, and white radishes inside, Ye Zhenzhen commented, "It looks quite rich, but these might be difficult to cook."

At least, for children they would be difficult.

Han Jiangxue chimed in deftly, "Whatever the kids make, we’ll eat. Today the kids are the adults; we need to give them confidence."

Song Yuchen immediately smiled confidently, "Don’t worry, I can make it all. I’ll cook you a delicious meal at noon."

Ye Zhenzhen ignored Han Jiangxue’s comment, instead she patted Song Yuchen’s head, "Good, I’m not worried, then I look forward to Brother Xiao Chen’s lunch."

The people around didn’t pick up on Han Jiangxue’s words either, acting as if they hadn’t heard them.

Han Jiangxue didn’t name names, and there was certainly no need for others to trouble themselves by responding.

[Some people, really looking for attention.]

[Isn’t that the case, we’re talking with Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen, does she need to butt in?]

[Brother Xiao Chen is so warm, wuuuu.]

Lin Qianqian held Fang Xiaoyu’s hand and seeing the ingredients in Shen Yibo and Song Yuchen’s baskets, she asked, "Xiao Yu, where’s your basket?"

As she asked, Lin Qianqian’s heart began to worry, fearing the two little girls hadn’t traded for anything and had lost their basket.

Fang Xiaoyu pointed behind her, "It’s back there, Brother Ranran is holding it."

Upon hearing Fang Xiaoyu’s words, An Xi felt somewhat incredulous, "Xiao Yu, are you saying Gu Xiaoran helped you carry the basket?"

Fang Xiaoyu nodded.

Yang Yike also tipped her little head up and said to An Xi in a milky voice, "Auntie~ Brother Ranran is also carrying a basket for me~ He is very strong, so impressive!"

Lin Qianqian asked, "One person carrying three baskets?"

Fang Xiaoyu: "Yep!"

An Xi: ...

It turned out that after her son had left his family, he had become so manly, so chivalrous, and even knew to actively help little girls carry baskets.

At this thought, An Xi actually felt a tinge of relief in her heart.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear, Gu Xiaoran returned.

Before he even entered the yard, everyone could hear the little guy’s straining voice, "Eh~ ya~ ai~ ya~ hei~"

When he appeared in the yard, An Xi hurried over to Gu Xiaoran.

Just when everyone thought An Xi was going to take over the three baskets Gu Xiaoran was holding, An Xi simply patted Gu Xiaoran’s little shoulder lightly, "Mm~ Ranran is not bad, truly manly, knowing to actively carry baskets for girls, keep it up!"

Gu Xiaoran: ...

In the near sub-zero temperature, Gu Xiaoran’s forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat; he felt so hot, so tired.

Everyone: ...

[Pfft~ hahaha, An Xi and her son are killing me with laughter.]

[At this moment, I kind of feel sorry for Gu Xiaoran, hahaha, the kid’s having a tough time.]

[This twist is just unbeatable, dying of laughter here, save me~]

[If I didn’t know An Xi was his biological mother, I would really suspect that An Xi is a stepmother.]

[Gu Xiaoran: At my young age, life really isn’t easy!]

Watching everyone in the yard, Gu Xiaoran didn’t move any further. He set the baskets down where he stood and stuttered, "Fang, Fang Xiaoyu, and Yang, Yang Yike, you, you guys take them yourself..."

He couldn’t carry them anymore!

Gu Xiaoran was so tired that he supported himself with his hands on his knees, bending over and gasping for air.

The two little girls ran over to pick up their own baskets and thanked Gu Xiaoran, "Thank you, Brother Ranran!"

"No, no, no need to thank me!"

An Xi gently patted the little guy’s back, "Must be tired, huh? You’ve never done anything like this before, right? First time, right? Memorable, huh..."

"An Xi, you’re so annoying!"

An Xi instantly made a pitiful face, "I’m the baby today, how can you speak to me like that?"

Gu Xiaoran was annoyed, really wanted to lose his temper!

[Hahaha, I can read a hint of schadenfreude in An Xi’s tone.]

[A mother and son who love and fight, on the first day I thought An Xi was a bit pitiful, I didn’t expect Gu Xiaoran would have his day like this.]

[Gu Xiaoran probably never expected that his day would turn out like this, either.]

...

Seeing that all the little ones had come back, Xiaowen smiled at everyone;

"The kids have worked hard to exchange for ingredients, so now let’s start preparing for lunch. Remember, kids need to cook lunch for their moms on their own, and you can’t cook together.

Moms can help the kids wash and chop the vegetables, but they can’t help with the cooking."
