Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 230 Persimmon!

Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Persimmon!

Ye Zhenzhen took a sip of tea, glanced at the kitchen, then at the clock on the table, 15 minutes left until noon.

Only 10 minutes had passed since she came from the kitchen to the room; the ribs were simmering on low heat and still needed some time...

Song Yuchen had finished the small tangerine in his hand, and his face lit up with excitement when he reached into the bag for another and found persimmons, "Mom, why are there also persimmons here?"

"Oh, right, besides charcoal and tangerines, there were also persimmons and this chrysanthemum tea—all from Xiao Jie’s Grandpa."

Ye Zhenzhen, seeing Xiao Chen’s delighted and surprised expression, asked with a smile, "Want to try one?"

She had only mentioned to the little guy that Xiao Jie’s Grandpa had brought charcoal and some snacks, assuming he had seen everything, so she hadn’t gone into detail.

Song Yuchen nodded, "Mhm, I want to eat."

The little guy took out a persimmon, peeled it by himself, took a bite, and showed great surprise on his face, "Mmm~ So sweet, this persimmon is really delicious!"

Before the children came back, the mothers were drinking tea and chatting in the room. Xu Wanjia was the first to try a persimmon, saying it was super sweet and very delicious, and even had two in a row.

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t like persimmons, and even though they looked big and sweet, she stuck to tangerines.

Lin Qianqian and An Xi, influenced by Xu Wanjia, also gobbled up two persimmons each.

Han Jiangxue was like Ye Zhenzhen, only eating tangerines and drinking some tea.

"So you like persimmons!"

As she spoke, Ye Zhenzhen silently noted in her heart that the little guy liked persimmons.

As for Song Yuchen’s preferences, she hadn’t been particularly clear on them.

As far as she remembered, the original owner of her body hadn’t paid much attention to him either, and since she arrived in this world, she hadn’t been with Xiao Chen for even a month. The little guy was well-behaved and not picky, with no specific demands, so it was normal for her not to know.

[Look at that, she’s playing at being a mom, and she doesn’t even know what the child likes to eat.]

[Where the hell are these trolls from? Ye Jianjian has only been Xiao Chen’s stepmother for half a year; it’s normal for her not to know.]

[Only Ye Jianjian would be so problematic. Look at that, she slipped up while acting, so much for loving the child, pah!]

[Damn, can these trolls not come out and be disgusting? Are you guys running out of things to criticize about Zhenzhen, so you’re targeting these trivial things to feel relevant?]

[Ignore these idiots, their brains must’ve been kicked by a donkey!]

After Song Yuchen finished eating a persimmon, he grabbed a wet wipe to clean his hands and chucklingly said, "I really like them, and I even know someone else who likes them as much as I do."

"Who?" asked Ye Zhenzhen.

Could it be Song Jinze?

The moment Song Yuchen began talking about persimmons with Ye Zhenzhen, and mentioned someone else who liked them, the live chat audience became restless, all typing on the bullet screen;

[Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi! Best Actor Xiao likes to eat them!]

[Our Brother Yi likes to eat persimmons, our Brother Yi does!]

[Xiao Chen said before he likes Best Actor Xiao, I bet, he’s definitely going to say Best Actor Xiao!]

[Yes, yes, yes! It’s our Brother Yi!]

In less than half a minute, Xiao Yi’s name filled the bullet screen.

Sure enough, Song Yuchen looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a smile, admiration and affection shining in his bright eyes, "It’s Brother Yi, Xiao Yi. He said in a recent interview on set that he likes persimmons."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

She truly hadn’t expected the little guy to suddenly steer the conversation towards Xiao Yi while eating a persimmon.

Logically, she should thank Xiao Yi for the time when Han Jiangxue stole her role and she couldn’t face the scandal. It was Xiao Yi who had brought Xia Zhi to find her, offering such a great opportunity.

[Hahaha! Just as I thought, it is Xiao Yi, hahaha]

[It seems like Xiao Chen really is our brother’s hardcore fan. At such a young age, he even knows that brother likes to eat persimmons.]

[Kids these days are incredible. I’m so jealous; he’s only five and he gets to meet Xiao Yi and even obtain his autograph.]

[I’m jealous too. So many people want Brother’s autograph, but sadly, they can’t get it!]

Song Yuchen excitedly said to Ye Zhenzhen again, "Ye Zhenzhen, can I discuss something with you?"

"What is it, let’s hear it."

Song Yuchen got down from the chair, crouched in front of the large burlap bag, and started sifting through the oranges and persimmons with his little hands, beginning to count in a babyish voice, "1, 2, 3, 4...9, there are still nine persimmons left!"

There were a total of nine remaining persimmons in the bag, while there were still plenty of oranges.

After counting, the little guy turned his head, very happily said to Ye Zhenzhen, "These persimmons are really tasty. I want to keep them and take them back to give to Brother Yi, is that okay?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

Speechless again!

The thoughts of children really are spontaneous, yet very sincere.

[Wow, it seems that Xiao Chen really likes our brother. He’s planning to bring persimmons all the way from Jincheng to Jiangcheng!]

[Hahaha, Best Actor Xiao, come on, @Best Actor Xiao and show up, your little fan is thinking of you even while eating a persimmon on a live show.]

[This kid is so heartwarming, it’s no wonder our brother, who doesn’t give autographs to anyone, gave one to him.]

[Is there nothing left to hype up? The first episode uses Xiao Yi to generate buzz, and now again in the second episode?]

[Did the production team sign some kind of script agreement with Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Yi? Is it going to be like this every episode?]

Meanwhile, far away in Country Y, Song Jinze, dressed in casual home clothing, leaned on the sofa with a tablet in hand, his brow furrowed, staring unblinkingly at the elegant and fair little face of the woman on the screen.

Obviously, the man had seen everything that had transpired between Song Yuchen and Ye Zhenzhen.

His thin lips slightly downturned, he awaited Ye Zhenzhen’s response.

Secretary Zhang stood by, also glancing at the screen showing the lady and Xiao Chen. He had been getting ready to rest, and he didn’t know why the CEO suddenly called him over.

An hour earlier, when he had returned from outside, he had been told to rest early and discuss any matters in the morning, so why the sudden summons now?

Secretary Zhang was very puzzled internally.

Could it be that the CEO called him over to watch the live broadcast featuring the lady and Xiao Chen together?

On the screen;

Ye Zhenzhen took a deep breath and said softly, "Xiao Chen, I think it might not be a good idea to take the persimmons back to Jiangcheng."

Not only are the persimmons somewhat soft, but they also have to stay here for a few more days. By the time they’d take the persimmons back to Jiangcheng, they might spoil...

Song Yuchen cocked his head and asked, "Why? Just put them in the bag, and I’ll carry it when we leave."

The persimmons were so delicious, he really wanted to bring them back for Brother Yi, and then get nine more autographed photos from him...

Song Jinze, seeing Ye Zhenzhen’s refusal, had the expression on his handsome face soften slightly, then he looked up at Secretary Zhang standing aside and asked, "When did you come in?"

Secretary Zhang: ...

CEO, wasn’t it you who asked me to come in?

And now you’re asking me when I came in!
