Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 282 I know now!

As Han Jiangxue spoke, tears began pooling in her eyes, and she started crying.

Shen Zhaonan pursed his lips, clenched his teeth, and said, "Get out of the car. I don’t want to see you right now, let me cool down."

He needed time to think about what his mother had said yesterday. Han Jiangxue was lying and being deceptive, her intentions towards their child were not pure, including the current situation of his company...

He had to seriously weigh all the internal and external factors. No matter for what reason, he needed to make a quick decision.

Han Jiangxue, knowing she was at fault and seeing that Shen Zhaonan was angry, was reluctant to get out of the car. "Ah Nan, Husband, listen to me. I’ve remembered now; it’s all Ye Zhenzhen sabotaging things behind my back.

Earlier at the ski resort, she deliberately tripped me, causing me to fall, and intentionally got close to Mrs. Cheng to sow discord in front of her. You can’t leave; I will go find Ye Zhenzhen. There’s still a chance to salvage this."

"Enough!" Shen Zhaonan growled, then instructed his assistant, "Take Yibo to play on the side for a few minutes."

After the assistant took Yibo away, Han Jiangxue, sobbing again, said, "Ah Nan, I’m your wife. I just wanted to help you solve the company’s issues quickly. Even if things haven’t worked out, you can’t yell at me like this... wu... "

Han Jiangxue knew well that showing vulnerability was the best solution in front of Shen Zhaonan. This tactic had never failed her and was extremely effective.

However, this time, Shen Zhaonan seemed indifferent, a cold glint in his eyes behind his frameless glasses. He sneered at Han Jiangxue, "Han Jiangxue, you are a woman, and I indeed can’t rely on you for business matters. But it was you who lied to me about meeting Mrs. Cheng every time.

Let’s set aside that issue and talk about Yibo. Since I’ve known you, haven’t you always been bribing Yibo with junk food, even though I told you his stomach is weak, which you seemed to ignore?

You said you’d take good care of Yibo; is this your idea of care?"

"Ah Nan, that’s not it. All of this is Ye Zhenzhen maliciously coaxing Yibo to say that. You can’t believe what others say. I’m your wife; you should believe me."

Shen Zhaonan clenched his teeth, "You keep saying Ye Zhenzhen, you say others harm you, bully you, then tell me, was it someone else, was it Ye Zhenzhen who forced you at knifepoint to buy junk food for Yibo? The fact is that Yibo ate the junk food you bought. What’s the point in denying it?

Do you think everyone else lives a life of lies like you?"

Han Jiangxue was stunned by Shen Zhaonan’s words ’lives a life of lies’ and her sobbing abruptly stopped. She felt hurt inside, "Is this the image I now have in your heart? Who is supporting Ye Zhenzhen behind her back, that she intimidates you so much?"

Shen Zhaonan had no intention of engaging in idle conversation with Han Jiangxue any longer. He opened the car door and got out, "Whoever Ye Zhenzhen relies on doesn’t matter now. What matters is, as soon as I return to Jiangcheng, we’ll get a divorce. Get out of the car."

She thought that this second marriage could last till old age, but unexpectedly, it was ending so carelessly. Compared to her first marriage, this was not even close.

"Divorce?" Han Jiangxue thought she had heard wrong. Sitting stiffly in the car, she clenched her hands into fists. The ’lives a life of lies’ hadn’t sunk in yet, and now she was hit with another blow.

Shen Zhaonan was actually bringing up ’divorce’!

What started as feigned crying had now turned into real tears. Han Jiangxue felt extremely wronged. The continuous events of the day were heavy blows to her.

The beautiful life and expectations she had envisioned were all shattering in this moment, dissolving into the cold air as tears streamed down her face...

...

Inside the hotpot restaurant.

The two families of six had eaten their fill. Ye Zhenzhen took a bite of ice cream, and Song Jinze reminded her, "Eat less. You’ve had too much spicy food; your stomach can’t handle it."

Song Yuchen nodded in agreement, "Mommy, Daddy wouldn’t even let me eat. He only let you eat a little because you’re an adult, so you must be obedient, okay?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the pair, big and small, performing like a comedic duo, and her heart didn’t know whether to feel joy or worry.

Earlier, upon entering the private room, the Cheng Zheng Couple embraced and expressed their longing for each other.

As for little Song Yuchen, he ran up and hugged Song Jinze’s legs, exclaiming, "Daddy, I missed you so much! Not just me, Ye Zhenzhen missed you a lot too, you should hug your wife quickly."

And then, under the comparison with the Cheng Zheng Couple, she naturally ended up embracing Song Jinze.

Not only that, but while he was hugging her, he also whispered in her ear, "I know."

Throughout the hotpot meal, everyone interacted quite naturally, but Ye Zhenzhen’s mind was constantly haunted by that deep and magnetic voice, ’I know.’

He knows? What does he know?

As she thought about it, her fair cheeks involuntarily flushed with color, which, of course, was partly related to the spicy hotpot.

Among the four adults and two kids present, only she and the Cheng Zheng Couple were eating spicy pot. Song Jinze and the two little ones had non-spicy, yet this man, who didn’t eat spicy food himself, kept diligently helping her dip spicy ingredients...

After the meal, it was naturally time for dessert.

Ye Zhenzhen still listened to what the father and son were saying, considering they were kindly persuading her for her own good, she had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I’ll just take this one bite, and then I won’t eat anymore."

Song Jinze passed a napkin to Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen: "Thank you."

Cheng Zheng glanced at Su Xi and said softly, "Wife, I’m really tired. I want to go back to the room and rest this afternoon."

Cheng Jiaming protested, "No! I don’t want Mommy to rest. I want to go skiing. Mommy said she’d go skiing with me this morning, but she ended up busy with work. And Song Yuchen too, he said we’d race together, but in the end, we didn’t!"

Su Xi smiled and patted her son’s head, "Sorry, my darling son, Mommy didn’t mean to not accompany you. So, how about Mommy goes skiing with you this afternoon and lets Daddy go back and rest, okay?"

Cheng Jiaming nodded eagerly, "Mmm, okay, okay!"

Cheng Zheng gnashed his teeth in frustration and glared at Cheng Jiaming, "You little rascal, there’s always time to ski, why does it have to be this afternoon?"

"Yeah, yeah, it has to be this afternoon, hehe, Daddy, skiing with Mommy won’t disturb your rest. You should thank me, why are you still angry?"

"You want a skiing race, don’t you? Daddy will race with you later, on the advanced slope. Do you dare?"

Cheng Jiaming was unimpressed, "You think I’d be scared?"

Cheng Zheng: ...

Song Jinze couldn’t help but chuckle and then asked Ye Zhenzhen, "How do you want to spend the afternoon?"
