Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 260: The Friend is Very Generous!

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: The Friend is Very Generous!

The next day, at 7 a.m. sharp, mothers and their little treasures were all up, packing their bags to set out for Wandai Mountain.

Once everyone was on the bus, the show’s staff distributed breakfast to the guests.

There was no snow today, but the temperature had reached minus seven degrees Celsius, and the roads were icy. The show’s crew had equipped the bus with anti-skid chains, and since the journey was mostly through mountainous roads, the bus moved at a slower pace.

The kids were excited and noisy as they boarded, playing and bickering for a while before finally falling asleep from exhaustion.

Naturally, the mothers also took the opportunity to rest and close their eyes on the bus, all except for Han Jiangxue. Since learning about the destination yesterday, her heart had been in an excited state.

Han Jiangxue pulled out a business card from her bag and as she looked at it, the corners of her lips unconsciously lifted. She was fortunate to have kept this card, and with just a phone call to Mrs. Cheng later...

From that day on, Ye Zhenzhen would no longer be on the same level as her, heh! Daring to mess with her openly on the show, just you wait, Ye Zhenzhen, you’ll have what’s coming to you!

...

Wandai Mountain Resort.

The bus took the guests straight to the hotel entrance. Nestled between mountains and water, in this season, the moment they stepped off the bus, they were greeted by the stunning snow-clad scenery of Wandai Mountain.

As everyone entered the hotel lobby, the time display at the reception read 11:30 a.m. The establishment operated on a membership basis, and since today was a Wednesday and not a weekend, there weren’t many tourists around.

Xiaowen had already announced the mission for the show the day before, so there was no need for her to say much now, only to remind every guest to check in at the hotel front desk.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the room rate: even the most basic double rooms cost $1,800 a night, and with the 60% discount that Xiao Chen and she drew, it would still cost $1,080 to stay for one night.

That was the cheapest option available.

Ye Zhenzhen was completely unaware that the resort belonged to Su Xi’s family.

Standing beside her, Xu Wanjia asked Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, what discount did you get?"

Ye Zhenzhen, "60%, what about you?"

"I got 50%!" That discount meant that Xu Wanjia could afford only two nights’ stay, and that’s without accounting for food expenses.

An Xi sighed, "How come mine is only 70%?"

Lin Qianqian, "Ours are 60% too!"

The four gathered to chat, not a single one paying any attention to Han Jiangxue.

And Han Jiangxue did not care in the slightest; she directly asked the front desk to use the telephone, saying she needed to make a call. Since she had arrived at such a luxurious star-rated resort, she had no intention of staying in a regular double room; she wanted only the best.

[See that? No one’s paying attention to Han Jiangxue anymore, hahaha!]

[I’m so happy, really, this is the scene I wanted to see. I hope Han Jiangxue won’t come to the next episode!]

[I hope so too, Han Jiangxue is just too much!]

[Thank goodness Ye Zhenzhen joined this show, it let me see her in a new light; otherwise, I would always believe those evening rumors were true, that it was Ye Zhenzhen who was always troubling Han Jiangxue]

[By the way, what is Han Jiangxue doing? Who is she calling?]

[Couldn’t be that she’s calling her husband to cry, could it? Hahaha!]

The other four moms had started processing their housing arrangements, but only Han Jiangxue was still on the phone; she had connected on her previous call, but no one had picked up.

Then she was now dialing a second number and, after a long wait, the call was finally answered;

"Who’s this?" The person answering the phone was Su Xi’s assistant.

Han Jiangxue immediately broke into a smile, "Hello, hello, I’m Han Jiangxue, I’m looking for Mrs. Cheng!"

Ye Zhenzhen, listening by her side, paused at the mention of ’Mrs. Cheng’; could the Mrs. Cheng that Han Jiangxue was talking about be Su Xi?

Did Han Jiangxue also know Su Xi?

Next, she heard Han Jiangxue continue, "It’s like this, I happen to be at your resort today, so I was thinking of seeing if I could arrange a meeting with Mrs. Cheng."

Han Jiangxue internally really wanted to ask the assistant to tell Su Xi to arrange a nice suite for her, but she needed to be polite, right? Meet first, and then once they met, naturally, they would arrange it for her.

[Holy shit, what does this mean? What is Han Jiangxue aiming at?]

[By the sound of it, is she trying to arrange a meeting with Mrs. Cheng through the show’s team? What’s this about?]

[Doesn’t the show’s team manage this? Weren’t their phones confiscated? How come they’re allowed to make calls now?]

[Just now, I heard Han Jiangxue say she’s at this lady’s resort; don’t tell me Han Jiangxue knows the owner of the resort?]

[It’s quite possible, after all, Han Jiangxue married into the Shen Family.]

While the live chat room speculated about what was going on, they saw Han Jiangxue smiling joyously, "Alright, I’m currently in the hotel lobby, so I’ll wait here for your person to come over!"

After hanging up the call, Han Jiangxue turned to An Xi with a smile, "An Xi, no need to process it now, my friend will come over in a while to arrange the best rooms for us to stay in, free of charge."

An Xi blinked and asked, "Xiao Xue, is this resort owned by your friend?"

Han Jiangxue nodded, her face brimming with pride, "Yes, this resort belongs to my friend, and it really is quite a coincidence!"

Xiaowen, standing to the side, joined in with an exclamation, "Oh my gosh, Sister Xiao Xue, this resort is actually your friend’s? Your friend is so loaded. Our travel this time is sponsored by your friend."

Han Jiangxue glanced at the camera lens, her vanity inflated like a fully blown balloon, "Well, it’s not too bad!"

After Xiaowen said her piece, she stepped back, her disdain for Han Jiangxue even greater.

The owner of this resort was the big sponsor who contacted their show team yesterday. They had clearly stated that they provided the venue solely because of Ye Zhenzhen’s connection, so when did it become Han Jiangxue’s turn to flaunt her wealth here?

Deep down, Xiaowen thought Han Jiangxue was way too dramatic; this was just another scene she had scripted and directed herself. Perhaps the person she had just called was actually her own family member who would come over and pay for her hotel stay.

If Han Jiangxue truly knew the owner of the place, why hadn’t they mentioned her name when they called yesterday?

Xu Wanjia and Lin Qianqian watched Han Jiangxue’s behavior and didn’t bother with her, continuing their own check-in process.

As for Ye Zhenzhen, there was even less to say; she was the first to finish and was now waiting for Xu Wanjia and Lin Qianqian to complete theirs so they could go upstairs together.

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen’s heart was still somewhat puzzled; she also wanted to see if the Mrs. Cheng whom Han Jiangxue had contacted over the phone was really the Mrs. Cheng she knew, Su Xi.

If Han Jiangxue actually knew Su Xi, she also wanted to find out whether their relationship was really that good...
