Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 243

Chapter 243: 243

Suddenly, when Feige looked up, he locked eyes with Xiao Yi’s profound peach blossom-shaped eyes.

The other party was holding a phone, and on the screen was a photo of two young boys together.

One had a handsome face that still retained some traces of youthfulness, but he smiled very happily—that boy, of course, Feige recognized as the young Xiao Yi.

The other had a cold expression, and though there were some mud spots on his face, he was still stunningly handsome, and inexplicably projected a powerful aura.

That boy’s overall facial features would be exceptional even in the current entertainment industry, not just outstanding but truly top-tier.

For a moment, Feige was somewhat taken aback, and after his brain churned at full speed, he reached a conclusion and blurted out, "So, the one standing next to you is Ye Zhenzhen’s husband?"

Xiao Yi’s already gloomy face grew even darker, and he said impatiently, "I asked you who’s handsomer, not to talk about her damn husband."

Feige rolled his eyes to the ceiling and then sincerely looked at Xiao Yi, "Of course, the one who smiles is handsomer."

He had just watched Ye Zhenzhen’s video and then got frustrated, followed by digging out the photo to have him say who’s handsomer.

Ha! Anyone could guess that the one beside was Ye Zhenzhen’s husband.

Although, Feige thought inside that he might prefer the one with the cold expression, which is Ye Zhenzhen’s husband, but, alas, what could he do when the one in front of him was his boss?

He had to sweet-talk his boss!

"Hey~ wait a second, Ye Zhenzhen’s husband isn’t some old guy, huh? He looks about the same age as you?" Feige seemed to have discovered a new continent and looked towards Xiao Yi with a face full of shocked delight.

At first, Xiao Yi had been quite happy with Feige’s answer, but in the next second, his face immediately darkened again, "Who told you her husband was an old man? As a top agent in the industry, don’t you even have the basic professional ethics?

Don’t you understand not to believe or spread rumors?"

Feige: ...

"She said she would bring me persimmons at noon, and the words she said tonight were probably also to dispel rumors, right?"

Feige: ...

Xiao Yi: "Is that right? I’m asking you."

"Probably..."

No! They were stating the truth!

Feige’s inner thoughts: It’s over, how had he never noticed that his boss was actually such a romantic!

...

Over in Yangping Village, the phone tasks for the five groups of guests had all concluded, and Xiaowen, along with the program staff, had collected the moms’ phones.

Han Jiangxue had not had a pleasant phone conversation with Shen Zhaonan, and she waited for Xiaowen to step out of the courtyard before putting on her clothes and following behind.

By this point, the camera crew had finished their work, and she called out to Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, wait."

Xiaowen stopped and turned back, "Sister Xiao Xue, what’s up? Yibo is still in the room, right? Why did you come out?"

And it’s so cold outside.

Han Jiangxue smiled at Xiaowen, "Yibo has already fallen asleep. Xiaowen, I’d like to make another phone call to my husband with my phone. Because we were live earlier, there were some things I couldn’t directly ask him, so..."

Xiaowen heard this and thought of Han Jiangxue’s husband mentioning Ye Zhenzhen on the phone just now. As the chilly night wind blew, her complexion also turned colder.

She took out Han Jiangxue’s phone and handed it to her, "Sister Xiao Xue, there should be limits to the hype between celebrities, even though I’m just a little assistant, I think you’re always gentle, generous, and smart, and should understand what I mean."

Han Jiangxue’s hand, reaching out, paused, her lips downturned, "Xiaowen, you don’t think that my husband and I are deliberately hyping Ye Zhenzhen, do you? You’ve really misunderstood..."

"Whether I misunderstand or not is not important. What matters is that your relationship with your husband, Sister Xiao Xue, is already affecting others." Xiaowen’s tone of speaking to Han Jiangxue was not the slightest bit courteous.

"Go over there to make your call, I’ll wait here, please hurry!"

Even though she was just a little assistant, she could not intentionally take sides too much.

Moreover, Han Jiangxue and Ye Zhenzhen were both guests, and she could not directly judge who was good or bad in front of either, but in her heart, she had her favorite person, and that was Ye Zhenzhen.

Having witnessed how Ye Zhenzhen dealt with tonight’s incidents, she really couldn’t muster a single good word for Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue clenched her molars and took her own phone, then went in the direction Xiaowen pointed, calling Shen Zhaonan as she walked.

When Shen Zhaonan received the call, he had already returned to the Shen family villa.

Madam Shen had not yet gone to rest, sitting in the living room, patting a cat that was already asleep.

"Ah Nan!"

As Madam Shen called out Shen Zhaonan’s name, Han Jiangxue’s call arrived on Shen Zhaonan’s side at the same time.

Seeing the call was from Han Jiangxue, Shen Zhaonan’s gaze instinctively glanced at his mother. Madam Shen, seeing her son’s expression, didn’t need to guess to know who was calling him.

She turned back and sat down on the sofa, continuing to stroke the soft fur of the British Shorthair.

Madam Shen had seen the live broadcast earlier that evening; she felt it was inappropriate for her son to speak about Ye Zhenzhen like that during the live broadcast, but seeing Han Jiangxue’s defeated look, she didn’t mind as much.

Moreover, having seen Ye Zhenzhen’s decisive way of handling the situation, her appreciation for Ye Zhenzhen grew even more.

After Shen Zhaonan hit the answer button, he walked upstairs, "Xiao Xue, what’s wrong?"

"Ah Nan, I already told you, I was live broadcasting. Why do you keep mentioning Ye Zhenzhen again and again? When did you get to know Ye Zhenzhen, and when did I ever bully Ye Zhenzhen? Why do you have to defend another woman like that?"

Han Jiangxue was truly furious inside. So, after hearing Shen Zhaonan’s voice, the words she had been brewing in her heart came spilling out uncontrollably.

Shen Zhaonan felt the last sliver of hope he held out for Han Jiangxue had been dashed. He hadn’t expected Han Jiangxue to call and ask so many questions.

"Xiao Xue, don’t you know whether you’ve bullied Ye Zhenzhen or not? I don’t have to point that out, right? As for how I got to know Ye Zhenzhen, it’s not something you need to know. There’s nothing between me and Ye Zhenzhen.

But I have to tell you, Ye Zhenzhen is someone neither of us can afford to offend."

Hearing Shen Zhaonan’s words, Han Jiangxue became even angrier, "What do you mean there’s nothing between you and Ye Zhenzhen? What does it mean that neither you nor I can afford to offend her? What’s so special about Ye Zhenzhen that you have to say that?

And to say that live in my broadcast, not giving me any face!"

"Xiao Xue, you are very emotional right now, just calm down, calm down. We’ll talk when you get back. Now is not the right time to discuss this!"

Shen Zhaonan felt that if the conversation went on, they would really start to argue.

He didn’t want to fight with Han Jiangxue today, as it wasn’t at his own home, and moreover, there was no need to argue with her.
