Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 244: Angry!

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Angry!

Han Jiangxue heard in Shen Zhaonan’s tone both a reluctance to talk and impatience, and she felt very angry, especially angry.

But she also understood Shen Zhaonan well; she knew that being confrontational with a man at such times wouldn’t achieve the result she wanted.

"Ah Nan~" When Han Jiangxue spoke again, her voice was laden with an utmost aggrieved crying tone.

Then, when she spoke again, she had begun to sob, "How... how do you expect me to stay calm? I was looking forward to having a nice chat with you, and suddenly you bring up another woman’s name, and what’s more, it was overheard by my fans... You...

You make it so, how can I face anyone in the industry again~"

As she spoke, Han Jiangxue really began to cry, and then she added, "Ah Nan, you know, I love you, I really like you... You suddenly mentioning another woman in front of me really hurts my feelings!"

Hearing Han Jiangxue’s aggrieved cries and this sudden confession, Shen Zhaonan’s originally somewhat annoyed heart instantly softened a bit.

He sighed and soothed her gently, "Xiao Xue, I didn’t mean anything by it, don’t overthink it, I can swear to the heavens that I don’t have the thoughts you imagine towards Ye Zhenzhen.

When you called me just now, I was drinking with Director Dong of Bohai Bank and wasn’t thinking too much, how would I know someone would overhear what I was saying!"

The first half of Shen Zhaonan’s sentence was sincere, but obviously, the second half was not—he simply said it to appease Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue tried to control her sobbing, "Is the company’s funding issue still very serious? And you told me not to bully Ye Zhenzhen, what happened to her, why has she become someone we can’t afford to offend?"

That was the question Han Jiangxue really wanted to ask; everything she had said before was just a lead-in.

"Yes, the company’s capital turnover is still far from ideal, as for Ye Zhenzhen, don’t ask now, do as I said, get along with Ye Zhenzhen for now. Once Shen’s overcomes this financial crisis, I’ll explain everything to you slowly."

Han Jiangxue’s face darkened, and at this point, she was certain that she couldn’t get any more information from Shen Zhaonan today.

In an instant, she softened her voice again, "Ah Nan, there’s nothing going on between me and Ye Zhenzhen, on the contrary, it’s Ye Zhenzhen who keeps making things difficult for me in the industry. I think you have misunderstood, but that doesn’t matter, as long as you say there’s nothing between you and Ye Zhenzhen, I can overlook anything.

Regarding Shen’s financial crisis, don’t worry, after I finish recording the show this week, I’ll stay in Jincheng to help you get in touch with Mrs. Cheng, and then I’ll assist our Shen Family in successfully partnering with her side."

When Shen Zhaonan heard his wife talking about continuously being troubled by Ye Zhenzhen, a trace of displeasure brewed in his eyes, but he chose to ignore the topic directly.

Even though he wanted to protect his wife, it depended on the person and the timing.

No matter what, for now, Song Jinze was someone he couldn’t afford to offend.

"Xiao Xue, can your relationship with Mrs. Cheng really help our Shen Family establish a partnership with them?" Shen Zhaonan asked this question with a twinge of doubt and mostly anticipation.

It was said that Cheng Zheng was afraid of his wife, and Mrs. Cheng indeed had considerable influence over him. If his wife really had such a connection with Mrs. Cheng, and the partnership was successful, he wouldn’t have to be as passive as he was now.

Han Jiangxue confidently replied, "Of course, Ah Nan, you have to trust me."

"Okay, I trust you, I’ll wait for your good news. If you can help Shen’s get through this difficulty, from now on, you’ll have the final say in all household matters, you’ll be in charge of the Shen Family, and my mother won’t say anything about it then."

"Okay, you must keep your word."

After hanging up the phone, Han Jiangxue held her mobile phone, reflecting on Shen Zhaonan’s words just now; the anger and gloom in her heart were instantly swept away.

Her face, covered with tear stains, had felt painfully stung by the cold wind, but now she didn’t feel it anymore. All she felt was a heart full of anticipation and yearning for a bright future.

As long as she could help the Shen Family get through this crisis and claim the crown of Best Actress in the industry, then retreat from the spotlight and bear a grandson for the Shen Family, she’d be able to lie back and never have to look at anyone else’s face for the rest of her life.

Even if her mother-in-law was formidable, in the future she’d have to swallow her pride whenever she saw her.

"Sister Xiao Xue! Sister Xiao Xue..."

Xiaowen called out to Han Jiangxue several times until Han Jiangxue came back to her senses, "Xiaowen, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting."

Xiaowen was not receptive to Han Jiangxue’s apology, "Sister Xiao Xue, I’m just a little assistant behind the scenes of the show, you don’t need to mind me, but because of that phone call between you and your husband, everyone is scolding Sister Zhenzhen online, I think you should apologize to Sister Zhenzhen!"

Hearing that people online were condemning Ye Zhenzhen, Han Jiangxue’s already joyful mood became even more merry.

If she had known earlier that Shen Zhaonan’s phone call would have such an effect, she would have been nicer in her tone and attitude.

Yet, her face showed pure innocence, "Ah, why would everyone scold Zhenzhen? I really didn’t know, and besides, Zhenzhen and I aren’t what everyone imagines, our relationship is actually quite good."

"Heh!" muttered Xiaowen, a sardonic smile on her face.

She continued, "Sister Xiao Xue, the cameraman brother has already left work, the other staff members have also finished for the day, there is no one else here, and it’s freezing cold, I need to go rest."

With those words, Xiaowen unapologetically snatched the mobile phone from Han Jiangxue’s hand and walked away without looking back.

At that moment, Han Jiangxue was too preoccupied to care about the implications in Xiaowen’s words; all she could think about was the news of Ye Zhenzhen being scolded.

What a pity, she hadn’t opened Weibo to check just now!

...

On Tuesday morning, the first to wake up were Lin Qianqian and Fang Xiaoyu, mother and daughter.

Long-term life on the set had already ingrained a habit; when not busy, they would sleep early and rise early, and when they were busy, they were naturally diligent and committed.

Today’s tasks had already concluded, and everyone’s dialogue had returned to normal.

The moment Lin Qianqian opened the door, she saw the thick snow outside and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yu, come look, it’s snowing outside!"

Fang Xiaoyu quickly joined her, "It really is snowing, such heavy snow!"

They were no strangers to snowscapes, but the snowfall in Yangping Village the previous night had been considerable, and the courtyard was piled thick with it, everything as far as the eye could see blanketed in white.

[Ah, it really is snow, as a person from the South, I’ve never seen such heavy snow in my life]

[As a person from the North, this can only be considered light snow!]

[Speaking of which, it’s already 8 a.m., how come the crew hasn’t arrived yet, and the guests haven’t woken up, what’s going on?]

[Maybe because it’s so cold with the snowfall it’s normal to get up late, what’s the rush, isn’t it nice to watch the snow?]
