Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 293 Welcome.

Chapter 293: Chapter 293 Welcome.

Han Jiangxue arrived at the door of the room where Shen Zhaonan was staying a step ahead of him.

She timed it according to what the assistant had told her, thinking that Shen Zhaonan was about to come up, and began knocking on Shen Zhaonan’s door.

"Ah Nan... husband..."

She called out while knocking on the door.

After knocking for quite a while and calling out several times, Shen Zhaonan did not appear, but the door did open from the inside.

Han Jiangxue’s hand stayed suspended in mid-air, her face a picture of shock upon seeing the person who answered, "You... why is it you?"

Didn’t the assistant say Shen Zhaonan was staying in this room? Could it be that Shen Zhaonan spent last night with this woman here?

Before she even got divorced, he’s hooked up with his ex-wife again!

Staring at the woman standing inside, Han Jiangxue also remembered the slaps she received for no reason yesterday, and suddenly felt her cheeks starting to burn with pain again...

Dong Yan’s face was stern and grim, her eyes cold as ice as she yanked Han Jiangxue into the room, then slammed the door shut, and gritted her teeth, "I was waiting for you, you bitch!"

Han Jiangxue was thrown harshly onto the floor. As she tried to lift her head and get back up, she saw several black-suited bodyguards standing in the room, each of them staring at her fiercely.

This scenario made her panic. Shen Zhaonan hadn’t returned, so why did Dong Yan open the door!

Her face turned pale then flushed, her mind was buzzing, and she felt the air pressure overhead like dark clouds covering the sun, so oppressive she could hardly breathe, "You... what are you going to do?"

...

On the other side.

Jiang Tong, Shen Zhaonan’s assistant, glanced at the message on his phone and sighed to himself, hoping that the two Madams would ’communicate’ well.

The message he sent to Han Jiangxue, saying Shen Zhaonan had returned to the hotel, wasn’t true; Dong Yan had instructed him to send it.

That morning, when Han Jiangxue messaged asking about his and Shen Zhaonan’s whereabouts, he didn’t reply immediately but instead asked Shen Zhaonan whether to tell Han Jiangxue their location.

Jiang Tong knew his boss was in the midst of divorcing Han Jiangxue, so naturally, he wouldn’t leak their whereabouts easily.

Conveniently, at that time, he happened to come across Dong Yan talking to Shen Zhaonan about Shen Yibo.

After Dong Yan checked into Junyue Hotel with Shen Yibo last night, Shen Zhaonan followed and stayed in the room next door.

Dong Yan sought out Shen Zhaonan early in the morning because the night before, while she was with Shen Yibo for dinner and bedtime, the boy had told her a lot about his experience living with Han Jiangxue.

After she had tucked Little Yibo into bed, she thought over what the little guy had told her, then meticulously went through Han Jiangxue’s social media accounts and the variety show videos they had attended with the child, integrating them with the little one’s words...

She was so angry that she barely slept all night, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the two slaps she gave Han Jiangxue yesterday were too lenient!

So as soon as she woke up, she made a call to Shen Zhaonan...

Naturally, Dong Yan found out that Han Jiangxue had been inquiring about Shen Zhaonan’s whereabouts from Jiang Tong.

At that time, Shen Zhaonan had made it clear in front of her that he didn’t want Jiang Tong to tell Han Jiangxue his whereabouts, but how could she let such an opportunity slip away?

While Shen Zhaonan went to change his clothes, she added Jiang Tong’s contact information again and then told him that Shen Zhaonan didn’t want to see Han Jiangxue, but she needed to see her and wanted to have a proper talk with Han Jiangxue.

Jiang Tong thought that one was an ex-wife and the other was soon to be divorced current spouse. Moreover, he had some connections with Dong Yan; she had been quite nice to him before the divorce with Shen Zhaonan, so without giving it much thought, he agreed to Dong Yan’s request...

At this moment.

Shen Zhaonan, along with Jiang Tong, was at the Su Family old residence, sitting in the main hall, chatting sporadically with Old Master Su.

Shen Zhaonan kept a smile on his face the entire time, listening patiently to Old Master Su as he reminisced about the past—a common trait of the elderly.

The atmosphere in the entire hall wasn’t exactly awkward, but it also couldn’t be described as very harmonious.

When he first arrived at the Su Family old residence, Shen Zhaonan first delivered the item his mother had sent with him and then announced his mother Qi Shurong’s name, which finally granted him an audience with Old Master Su.

He kept in mind the words he had been told before leaving, "Ah Nan, remember, after you deliver the gift mom gave you to the Su Family, if the old master agrees to see you, just go in, don’t talk about business, only chit-chat about family matters, listen to what the old master has to say, and discuss nothing else."

It must be said that the Jincheng Su Family and the Shen Family were two of the country’s leading companies in the same industry. Even though the Shen Family was not quite on par with the Su Family, it still ranked highly nationally. Madam Shen had interacted with Old Master Su back when she was managing the company. Although she has retired now, the connection between the younger and older generation still existed.

Plus, the item Shen Zhaonan brought this time was a painting that Old Master Su had been seeking everywhere, and it was Madam Shen Qi Shurong who had sent it, so naturally, Old Master Su wanted to meet Shen Zhaonan.

Madam Shen had instructed before Shen Zhaonan left that whether or not cooperation happened in Jincheng wasn’t important; what was essential was letting others know that the Shen Family still had dealings with the Su Family. Even if there was no cooperation this time, the good relationship remained.

And of those "others," Song Jinze was actually the most significant.

The Song Family from Jiangcheng might be powerful, but it still needed to cooperate with the Cheng family and the Su Family in Jincheng. Madam Shen did this hoping Song Jinze would realize this and not push the Shen Family into a corner because of conflicts between the women.

Besides, the plan for Han Jiangxue—the woman in question—was to have Shen Zhaonan sweep her out the door once he returned to Jiangcheng.

After all is said and done, the reason they are going through all this trouble is all thanks to Han Jiangxue, the presumptuous fool.

As it was nearing noon, Su Xi brought Cheng Zheng back to the Su Family old residence. After greeting the old master, Shen Zhaonan then got up to greet President Cheng, "President Cheng, it’s been a long time!"

Cheng Zheng shook Shen Zhaonan’s hand in return, "Welcome."

Even though he was a business rival and did not want to meet Shen Zhaonan, he still had to respect Old Master Su’s wishes since Shen Zhaonan was presently a guest of the old master.

This was Su Xi’s first time meeting Shen Zhaonan, and she extended her hand with a slight smile, "President Shen, I’ve long admired your reputation. It’s an honor to meet you!"

No matter how she felt about Han Jiangxue, Shen Zhaonan was a guest of her Su Family today, and she had to graciously and politely welcome him.

Shen Zhaonan responded politely, "President Su is too kind."

This was the Su residence, and Shen Zhaonan cleverly avoided using Mrs. Cheng to address Su Xi; instead, he addressed her as President Su.

This title made Cheng Zheng quite displeased. His expression slightly darkened, and he sat to the side, curling his lips into a mocking, cold smirk, "I heard President Shen’s company has been very busy lately. How did you find the time to come to Jincheng?"
