Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 240

Chapter 240: 240

After all, she still vividly remembered the last time at the kindergarten, when the rumors about her being an evil stepmother circulated online, and how the teachers treated her differently because of that.

None of this was good for the kids.

Now that she thought about it, the phone call just now didn’t give her the awkward feeling she used to experience; on the contrary, she found this man quite alright.

She felt she really shouldn’t overthink things.

If she really ended up in a situation like in the original book, where she couldn’t avoid a bad ending and had to divorce this man or something when they couldn’t get along, it wouldn’t affect her much. After all, they weren’t public, and she could extricate herself anytime...

Song Yuchen and his dad had a great chat. The little guy was very understanding and knew his dad was busy, so he took the initiative to end the conversation, "Daddy, I won’t disturb you anymore. You go and make money for your wife to spend. I’m going to sleep with your wife now. We’ll talk next time!"

Song Jinze’s face, which had been smiling, fell upon hearing his son’s words. The comment seemed innocuous, as if that was all there was to it.

But it made him feel very uncomfortable.

Extremely uncomfortable.

"Daddy! Daddy!" said Song Yuchen, who picked up his phone and mumbled to himself, "Eh... is the signal bad?"

He couldn’t hear his dad’s voice anymore.

Just as Xiao Chen put the phone back to his ear and called out "Daddy" again, the man on the other end finally spoke, "Hang up."

Then, the call was indeed disconnected.

Secretary Zhang, seeing the president had finally finished his phone call, slowly approached the sofa in the living room. As he got closer, he suddenly noticed that the president’s face had darkened again.

He had clearly heard the president talking cheerfully and happily just a moment ago!

Song Jinze tossed his phone aside on the sofa and stood up to see Secretary Zhang, his grim face pausing slightly, "When did you come in?"

"I, I just arrived, President. President Cheng is already waiting for us at the restaurant," Secretary Zhang said with a respectful and cautious tone.

Song Jinze walked in the direction of his bedroom, coldly leaving a comment behind, "Let him wait."

Secretary Zhang: ...

What on earth was going on with the president?

He was chatting fine on the phone, did he have a fight with his wife again?

Realizing the severity of the situation, Secretary Zhang’s whole body immediately went on high alert. It looked like he had to be extremely careful for the rest of the day.

Otherwise, he feared for his year-end bonus!

Meanwhile.

After his dad hung up, Song Yuchen blinked his shining grape-like eyes at Ye Zhenzhen, wearing an innocent and regretful expression, "The signal was bad on daddy’s end; he couldn’t hear what I said."

Ye Zhenzhen stroked the little guy’s head, "It’s okay, we’ll see daddy in a few days when we go back home."

[Hahaha, I’m dying laughing here, isn’t it just because the old man is rich, Ye Jianjian, are you that desperate?]

[The old man can’t ski, had a child late in life, and treasures Xiao Chen a lot. So from start to finish, Ye Jianjian is just cozying up to this father and son pair for the money, hahaha!]

[This woman’s just like a vixen, sweet-talking the old man while stringing along Xiao Yi, and trying to seduce Han Jiangxue’s husband, ahh!]

[Haters, roll the hell away. Our Zhenzhen’s family is harmonious and happy, her husband is wealthy, her stepson is adorable. Are you just jealous and hate that your own lives are so bitter you come here to feel important?]

[Vixen! Vixen!]

Xiaowen rushed to Zhenzhen’s room and knocked on the door as soon as the call in Zhenzhen’s live stream room ended.

After Zhenzhen opened the door, Xiaowen asked her to step out of the room to avoid the camera.

Then, opening the live stream on her phone, Xiaowen spoke to Zhenzhen with a concerned tone, "Sister Zhenzhen, just now Sister Xiao Xue was on the phone with her husband, and he suddenly mentioned you during the live stream.

Then at noon, when you spoke to Xiao Chen about Xiao Yi, it made it onto Weibo’s trending topics, so now these comments..."

Zhenzhen’s gaze shifted to the wildly scrolling comments in the live stream room. There were all sorts of absurd remarks—saying that she was coddling her husband?

And what’s this about a vixen, luring men?

Ha! It was so ridiculous that it made her laugh!

Seeing Zhenzhen’s reaction, Xiaowen continued, "Sister Zhenzhen, Director Fei said we need to talk to you about this and see how you want to handle it; we’ll all cooperate with you."

Currently, everyone’s attention is on the live stream, and although some posts have started to appear on Weibo, they haven’t yet reached the top of the trending list. But for a married female star, such gossip is naturally not a good thing.

What Director Fei had told Xiaowen earlier was, "See how Zhenzhen reacts. If Zhenzhen wants to keep streaming, let her clarify. If Zhenzhen does not want to stream, we, the production team, will stream to clarify it."

Anyway, they had to first ask Zhenzhen what she thought about the situation.

Taking Xiaowen’s phone, Zhenzhen snorted scornfully, "Xiaowen, next time you tell me this kind of thing, don’t do it outside, it’s cold. Come on, into my room. Even if we’re cursing someone out, we should find a warmer place, right? It’s not worth freezing yourself."

Upon hearing Zhenzhen’s words, Xiaowen immediately grasped her meaning.

She couldn’t help but open her mouth in awe, "Sister Zhenzhen, I admire you so much."

Then she scurried after Zhenzhen into the room.

After returning to the room, Xiao Chen asked, "Mom, where did you go?"

Zhenzhen patted Xiao Chen’s head, "Mommy had to talk to Aunt Xiaowen about something."

Xiao Chen smiled at Xiaowen, "Aunt Xiaowen, here’s your phone back!"

Xiaowen took the phone from Xiao Chen’s hands, smiling warmly, "Xiao Chen, you’re so sweet~"

Zhenzhen walked over to the dining table, set up her phone, and looking at the comments in the live stream she scoffed, "I didn’t realize that the mission with this call from the production team has given me a new name now."

The viewers in the live stream grew even more excited upon seeing Zhenzhen addressing the comments;

[Ahhh, Zhenzhen saw it, Zhenzhen saw it, Zhenzhen please say it’s not true!]

[They’re all just jealous of you, Zhenzhen, you don’t have to care, you’ll always be my favorite, I’ll always support you!]

[Exactly, just ignore those who are acting despicable. They’re just envious of you.]

Zhenzhen’s supporters were comforting her while the fans who were against her naturally didn’t miss such a rare opportunity;

[Wow, she still has the nerve to speak up? Vixen!]

[Not content with just pandering to old men and seducing Best Actor Xiao, now she’s even not letting go of Xiao Xue’s husband, what a person, she’s just a vixen.]

[Exactly, cozying up to her stepson and the old man for money, isn’t it? What’s the point? Always plotting her escape route, seducing men, pah!]

Zhenzhen looked at the haters’ comments and coldly said, "You think it’s meaningless for me to pamper my son and husband; would it be more fun for me to pamper your son and your husband? Or perhaps your top-notch handsome actor husband? Or is it more about your favorite hotshot idol brother?"

Hearing Zhenzhen’s retort to the haters, Xiaowen’s jaw dropped in surprise once again. No wonder she’s my Sister Zhenzhen!
