Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 254: Aftermath!

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Aftermath!

At the sight of such a comical and funny scene, everyone present actually really wanted to laugh but felt it would be rather inappropriate to do so out loud.

Han Jiangxue’s face was so contorted with pain it was almost twisted together, and at that moment, she completely forgot about managing her facial expressions.

Just as Ye Zhenzhen and Han Jiangxue were sliding down, she thought to herself that it seemed fun, but at that moment, all she wanted to say was, "This damn game can go to blazes! Let whoever likes it play it!"

An Xi hurriedly climbed down from the tire, moved Gu Xiaoran’s leg aside, and asked Han Jiangxue with concern, "Xiao Xue, are you all right?"

Han Jiangxue gritted her teeth, "How about you put the tire on your back and let me climb on, and we’ll see if you’re all right!"

An Xi: ...

[Pfft~Hahahaha! Why do I feel so inexplicably happy, it’s so much fun!]

[The staff slacked off, fine them, fine them! What if our Xiao Xue gets injured?]

[Serves her right, obviously in last place and without any skiing equipment, she was looking for trouble, letting our Xiao Yu give up the tire to her, now she fell, it’s her own fault!]

[What’s happened to our Xiao Xue that you speak of her that way? Right now, she’s the one who fell and got pressed down, did she want to fall on purpose?]

[I feel like An Xi and her son did it somewhat on purpose, hahaha, but I really love it!]

[To be honest, I quite liked Han Jiangxue before, but now after seeing this, I really think she’s so dramatic, especially last night, that act with her husband calling, no matter how I think about it, it feels like she’s full of drama!]

A few seconds later, An Xi finally realized the tire was still on Han Jiangxue, hurriedly removed it and helped her up, then apologized, "Sorry, Xiao Xue!"

Han Jiangxue’s temper was now fully provoked, she replied in displeasure, "An Xi, couldn’t you have waited for us to clear the way before sliding down?"

That day, every sight of An Xi irritated Han Jiangxue, and now she found an opportunity to vent her frustration.

However, before An Xi could reply,

Gu Xiaoran quickly stepped forward to apologize to Han Jiangxue, "I’m so sorry, auntie. It was my own desire to slide down, An Xi didn’t know. I apologize to you, I pressed down on your neck just now!"

Han Jiangxue had not expected Gu Xiaoran to stand up and speak for An Xi. After all, she couldn’t take her anger out on a child, could she? So she ended up replying reluctantly, "It’s okay, since Ranran has apologized to auntie, then auntie forgives you."

At that moment, Han Jiangxue felt nothing but resentment, wishing Shen Yibo had followed closely behind Ye Zhenzhen to quickly slide down. Then perhaps it would have been Ye Zhenzhen who ended up beneath the tire!

[Thank goodness Gu Xiaoran is slim. If it had been an adult, Han Jiangxue’s neck would’ve been done for.]

[By that reasoning, the one who should be giving thanks is Han Jiangxue, not Gu Xiaoran, hahahaha!]

[As someone from the South, I find this thing too dangerous to play with. Forget it, I’m not playing anymore, nor am I envious!]

[I’m not playing either, but I love watching others fall, hahaha, it just makes me so happy, you know!]

Lin Qianqian and her daughter, who also felt it was very dangerous, were by now slowly walking down the mountain. Just now, seeing Han Jiangxue being pressed under the tire made Lin Qianqian’s heart tighten—not out of concern for Han Jiangxue, but thinking how fortunate it was that she and her daughter had given up on this game.

Otherwise, it could have been her and Xiao Yu lying underneath the tire and An Xi...

...

The lunch prepared by the show crew today was sumptuous, with sauce-covered beef bones, carrot and lamb soup, roasted chicken, and some local specialties.

There were also some delicious pickled vegetables on the table. Everyone expressed their surprise at such a lavish lunch, which was more generous than any meal they had had before.

It was then that Xiaowen stepped forward to explain to everyone,

"You all don’t need to be puzzled. Today’s lunch is food brought to us by the village chief of Yangping Village and the nearby villagers.

Actually, this is all thanks to Sister Zhenzhen. We owe our gratitude to Sister Zhenzhen’s generous support, which will provide the children of Yangping Village and nearby villages with a good school in the future. This is the villagers’ gratitude to Zhenzhen, and by extension, we are also benefiting from it!"

After Xiaowen finished speaking, a round of applause broke out around them, and the show crew members all thanked Ye Zhenzhen.

A faint smile appeared on Ye Zhenzhen’s face. She didn’t expect that the man’s silent donation to the school would have such an enduring impact. At the same time, her heart couldn’t help but recall the man’s face, thinking of when he told her over the phone last night about wanting her to go skiing with him...

Before Xiaowen spoke, Han Jiangxue was telling Lin Qianqian how tasty the crew’s soup was at lunch today. After listening to Xiaowen’s words, everyone offered flattering compliments to Ye Zhenzhen, and Jiangxue suddenly lost her appetite.

Ye Zhenzhen had actually made a donation to the school. The night before, when she heard the staff talking about it, she thought it was just casual conversation. But now, seeing Xiaowen talking about it in front of everyone, it clearly wasn’t fake.

Could it be that Ye Zhenzhen was trying to win over people’s favor by doing this because everyone was criticizing her?

But donating a school was a trifle; it couldn’t have cost that much. Just wait, after the show ends in a couple of days, she would seek out Mrs. Cheng and ensure Shen Zhaonan successfully signs a contract with Cheng Corporation—she would donate ten schools.

Anything that Ye Zhenzhen could solve with money, she, Han Jiangxue, could do even better. In any case, she must not let Ye Zhenzhen overshadow her.

Aside from Han Jiangxue, everyone really enjoyed that lunch.

In the afternoon, there were no tasks or games prepared by the show crew. As usual, the moms took the kids back to their rooms to sleep. In such cold, snowy weather, surely sleeping was the most comfortable thing to do!

...

Director Fei had been browsing various social media platforms for news about their variety show all afternoon.

Thanks to the lunch, Ye Zhenzhen’s donation to the schools, and the incident where she confronted the trolls in a live broadcast the night before, the popularity of "Mom’s Companion" remained high.

In fact, the lunchtime speech that Xiaowen gave was deliberately orchestrated by Director Fei. Besides the chicken and lamb, which were brought by Xiao Jie’s Grandpa and the village chief of Yangping Village, the other ingredients had been purchased by the show crew themselves.

However, Director Fei felt that since Ye Zhenzhen had spent money doing a good deed, he shouldn’t let it just go unnoticed; he wanted to widely publicize it to make sure everyone knew. Beyond showcasing it to the show’s guests, he also wanted to keep it circulating among netizens.

This way, when those haters tried to criticize Ye Zhenzhen, there would be even more fans and onlookers standing up to speak for her!

Including the video of the guests having a snowball fight this morning, which netizens captured and turned into multiple memes posted across major social platforms. Among them, Ye Zhenzhen was one of the contributors of the most memorable scenes, apart from a few of the kids...
