Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 232 The Depth of Love!

Chapter 232: Chapter 232 The Depth of Love!

Xiao Yi returned to the room to grab his phone and then sat down on the sofa with Feige, "Order takeout from Hujin, and add a serving of vegetable gnocchi soup to warm the stomach."

Feige: "Already ordered for you, should be arriving any minute now."

Xiao Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, quietly opened Weibo, and after seeing the trending search, a smug yet contented smile appeared on his handsome face, "Heh! This kid, still has some conscience, didn’t forget about me when it came to good food."

Then he opened his own Weibo profile page and began to type...

Feige: ...

What’s really going on between you two, always talking about conscience...

The more he thought about it, the more Feige felt that something was off. He stretched his neck to look at what Xiao Yi was typing and couldn’t help but curl his lip, muttering softly, "If I didn’t know better, I’d think Song Yuchen was your son.

There’s really nothing between you and Ye Zhenzhen, right? If there is, you better not hide it from me.

Actually, if you really like her, you can totally wait for Ye Zhenzhen to get divorced, or to become a widow, then make your move, that... by then, both the woman and her child could be yours, as long as you’re happy..."

Feige hadn’t even finished saying ’I’m always ready to handle PR for you, as long as you’re happy,’ when he received a death glare from Xiao Yi;

"What are you talking about? If I had a smart and well-behaved son like Song Yuchen, I’d be over the moon!"

Feige instantly took a deep breath, exclaiming, "Holy shit, you’re even after her child too?"

Everyone knows that the man Ye Zhenzhen married is not very good, an older guy, but Ye Zhenzhen is pretty, and her stepson is also adorable!

Feige really hadn’t expected that Xiao Yi, besides having his sights set on Ye Zhenzhen, was also eyeing her stepson!

This is truly deep affection!

Xiao Yi turned his head to see the changing expressions on Feige’s face, and from his understanding of Feige, he didn’t need to guess to know what the other was imagining.

"You shouldn’t be an agent, switch to being a screenwriter instead. With your kind of imagination, you’d absolutely make your mark on the prime time melodramas every night."

Feige: ...

Hit a nerve, did he...?

Speaking of Song Yuchen, Feige also found the kid cute. He took out his phone, entered Lemon Channel’s live streaming platform, and began to watch a live stream by himself.

...

Meanwhile, over at Yangping Village;

The pork ribs with potatoes and radishes that Song Yuchen had made for lunch were ready. He himself set up a little stool to serve the dish onto plates, then also scooped out two bowls of rice.

Ye Zhenzhen helped to bring them to the table to start eating.

While waiting for the ribs to cook earlier, Ye Zhenzhen had already helped the little guy pack the remaining nine persimmons into a tote bag.

Song Yuchen picked up his chopsticks to serve Ye Zhenzhen a piece of ribs, his little milky voice full of concern, "Ye Zhenzhen, you’re too skinny, you need to eat more meat, you know!"

Ye Zhenzhen smiled, openly accepting the child’s concern, "Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao Chen. You should eat more meat and vegetables too, and preferably not be picky, so you can grow tall."

Saying so, Ye Zhenzhen put a piece of rib and a potato onto the little guy’s bowl.

"Mhm! I’ll definitely not be picky, I’ll grow taller than dad!" Song Yuchen said with a face full of pride.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Good!"

Inner thoughts: Taller than Song Jinze? That would mean over one meter ninety!

However, the speaker was unintentional, but the listeners were intent, and what the little guy said excited all the fans in the live broadcast room;

[Ah! Xiao Chen mentioned daddy, is his dad very tall?]

[How tall can an old man be, for a child, adults are all considered tall.]

[Hope the show’s producers can feature the dads next time, or do an interview with a family of three.]

[Have you guys never considered that Ye Zhenzhen’s husband might be a tall, rich, and handsome man?]

[The gossip reporters have already exposed that Ye Zhenzhen’s husband is an older wealthy businessman, no need to wonder anymore, let’s drop the topic.]

[Everyone, go check Weibo now, Xiao Yi has replied, Xiao Yi has replied, ahhhh!]

A large number of fans left the live stream to check Weibo, where Xiao Yi’s Weibo showed a post made just two minutes ago;

[Xiao Yi]: @Ye Zhenzhen, heard the autographed photo I gave Xiao Chen last time was ruined, I’ll wait for Xiao Chen in Jiangcheng to trade for persimmons.

Below this Weibo post, Xiao Yi added another comment in his own comment section;

[Xiao Yi]: I recently have no collaboration with Lemon Channel, Zhenzhen is my good friend.

Xiao Yi’s post was succinct and clear, without a single superfluous word.

Fans who saw it exclaimed;

[So straightforward!]

In fact, the matter really wasn’t anything significant—a mere case of Xiao Chen liking Xiao Yi and coincidentally knowing that Xiao Yi enjoyed persimmons. The child’s thoughts were simple and adorable, just wanting to share something tasty with someone he liked.

Only to be exploited by those with an agenda.

If Xiao Yi himself didn’t clarify, once the situation escalated, it would probably be claimed like before that he and Ye Zhenzhen had some unspeakable relationship...

[Oh my God! Brother, can I trade persimmons for your autographed photo too? Can I? Can I?]

[Isn’t this favoritism? Why did Best Actor Xiao only give an autographed photo to Xiao Chen!]

[Above, didn’t you see what Xiao Yi said? Zhenzhen is his good friend, are you his good friend?]

[Can there be platonic friendship between men and women? Saying they’re good friends, maybe Xiao Yi has liked Ye Zhenzhen for a long time, haha!]

[Guys in the comments, don’t talk nonsense about Brother, he has said it, he and Ye Zhenzhen are good friends.]

Regarding Xiao Yi’s activity, Lemon Channel which hadn’t made any statement previously, seeing a chance to ride on the coattails of Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Yi’s relationship for some publicity, also hurriedly made a statement;

@Mom’s Companion Official Weibo @Xiao Yi @Ye Zhenzhen, we are all friends, and we also look forward to collaborating with Best Actor Xiao.

Since Xiao Yi himself explicitly said he had no cooperation with Lemon Channel, their PR department naturally had to step out and say something, otherwise, the fans would definitely start targeting them next.

Earlier on, Director Fei had wanted to clarify on Mom’s Companion’s official Weibo that there was no truth to the rumors about capitalizing on Best Actor Xiao’s fame, but he received a call from the station telling him to hold off and to let the buzz build first.

Usually, even thinking about tying any news to Xiao Yi to boost publicity was out of the question; aside from filming movies, his whereabouts within the circle were quite mysterious, let alone appearing on variety shows.

Lemon Channel was known for its variety shows, and had tried countless times to invite Xiao Yi without success. This time, due to Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen mentioning Xiao Yi in two episodes, it was even more thrilling than having Xiao Yi on the show himself.

After all, they hadn’t spent a cent and had managed to effortlessly hitch their wagon to top-tier celebrity buzz, an opportunity anyone would jump at.
