Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son -

Chapter 333: 333
Fu Shinuan’s tone and expression while apologizing were all seen by Ye Zhenzhen, who knew the other was reluctant.
Her heart sneered ironically, and her face remained indifferent. "It’s nothing. It’s all in the past. But, if there is a next time, I can’t guarantee what will end up broken."
Fu Shinuan had picked a fight with her and insulted her, she had damaged the other’s car, and now the man by her side had even secured an apology for her. Naturally, she had to subtly express that she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
Zhenzhen had seen plenty of these seemingly innocent types like Fu Shinuan—two-faced, sweet in front of others but different otherwise. This apology was nothing more than a result of pressure; there might well be a next time...
Fu Shinuan’s face held a gentle smile, and she said nothing more, just lifted her hand to cling onto Cheng Shaoqing’s arm, continuing to curry favor and act docile. She said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Hmm, I had misunderstood before..."
In fact, at this moment, her heart was filled with extreme dislike for Ye Zhenzhen. Setting aside everything else, just Ye Zhenzhen’s ability to attract men left her furiously jealous.
"Since it was a misunderstanding, let’s ensure it won’t happen again." Cheng Shaoqing’s words were directed at Fu Shinuan, but his gaze was fixed on Song Jinze.
This meant, the apology has been made, was there anything else instructed?
Song Jinze’s cold eyes narrowed slightly as he lifted his chin, seemingly silently saying, take her and get out!
Cheng Shaoqing’s eyes flicked to Fu Shinuan, and he immediately caught on, saying with a smile, "Forget it, I’ve just acquired an emerald stone. I’ll go check it out, and we can have a meal another day."
With that, he looked up and patted Song Jinze’s arm, "Let’s go."
The man had come to stand up for his wife and buy a dress, the issue was resolved, and it no longer made sense to linger with a downcast female companion.
Song Jinze’s eyes softened a bit, and he lightly responded, "Mmm."
Fu Shinuan: ...
Wait, she hadn’t bought her dress yet, why are they just leaving?
Even if she didn’t want the outfit that Ye Zhenzhen was wearing, at least she should have chosen the light green evening gown she had taken a liking to.
"But..." she tried to advocate for herself.
Cheng Shaoqing looked back at her, "Another day."
"..." Fu Shinuan truly felt aggrieved and anxious inside.
Liu Rui, who had been a bystander, was a bit confused by the scene before her. After all, Fu Shinuan was a popular rising star at Baisheng Media. How had she become involved with Zhenzhen?
And Fu Shinuan had just apologized to their Zhenzhen?
The relationships between these two women, and between these two men...
For a moment, her head was really filled with a lot of question marks???
"Zhenzhen, this..." Before she could ask who the gentleman was, she was interrupted by Cheng Shaoqing;
"That agent, let’s go."
Without speaking, Cheng Shaoqing would have almost forgotten about her.
"Me?" Liu Rui pointed to herself in surprise.
Was this handsome guy referring to her? But she was Ye Zhenzhen’s agent, not Fu Shinuan’s. With the sudden appearance of a man next to their Zhenzhen, she needed to get things straight!
Zhenzhen was attractive, and many liked her. As her agent, she felt happy for Zhenzhen, but Zhenzhen was in the midst of rising in her career and already married. They couldn’t afford any sort of queer news...
"It’s you!" Cheng Shaoqing confirmed with a nod.
Fu Shinuan was also stunned; she didn’t understand why Cheng Shaoqing was suddenly calling for Liu Rui.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you home," Cheng Shaoqing signaled to Liu Rui with his eyes. President Song and his wife were picking out formal wear; it was time for them, the outsiders, to stop crowding around.
Since he was going to take Fu Shinuan home, he might as well be thorough and take the other away as well.
Liu Rui glanced at Song Jinze, who was with Ye Zhenzhen, feeling somewhat speculative yet uncertain. The man had just said that he was buying gowns for their Zhenzhen, and the man calling her also knew them, so...
Was this intended to send her, the third wheel, away?
"Ah..." Ye Zhenzhen was about to say something when the man bent down and whispered warmly in her ear, "I’ll keep you company to look some more."
"Then I’ll be off first, Zhenzhen."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded and said to Liu Rui, "I’ll explain to you later."
"Okay."
Liu Rui was very curious about Zhenzhen’s relationship with this man, but it was not the right time to ask. It would be awkward if she stumbled upon something embarrassing.
Since Zhenzhen had said she would explain later, that would be a matter for another time. It was best to make herself scarce for now.
Once the three of them had left the store, Cheng Shaoqing kept his word and asked Liu Rui, "Where to? Shall we go in my car?"
Fu Shinuan felt increasingly upset, looking at Cheng Shaoqing with a moody expression, suddenly feeling that this man’s chivalry was not just for her, but for all women.
Liu Rui shook her car keys, "Thanks, but I’ve got my car."
Having said that, she walked away.
Even if she didn’t have a car, she would still get on; it wasn’t a problem to take a taxi home.
Fu Shinuan breathed a sigh of relief and quietly asked the man beside her, "Shaoqing, where are we going now?"
"I’ll take you home," Cheng Shaoqing replied as he walked towards the car.
Fu Shinuan followed and suggested softly, "Shaoqing, how about I treat you to lunch before going home?"
"No, I’ve got some matters to attend to. Later."
Cheng Shaoqing had only come out to pick a gift for Fu Shinuan to appease his family. That morning, he hadn’t even left home when Mother Cheng cornered him, saying a lot. The core message was that he should spend more time seeking out the Qin Family’s third young lady, Qin Yan.
But he really didn’t have a good impression of Qin Yan and didn’t want to meet her. It happened that Fu Shinuan sent him an invite, so he went out.
However, once he was out, he felt somewhat disappointed.
After getting into Cheng Shaoqing’s car, Fu Shinuan softly inquired, "Shaoqing, what’s wrong? Are you angry with me?"
With Cheng Shaoqing looking like this, her heart felt even more wronged. She had apologized to Ye Zhenzhen and hadn’t managed to buy the gown; she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.
Cheng Shaoqing’s pupils slightly darkened, he leaned back in his seat and looked at Fu Shinuan from the corner of his eye, "Did I not say something to you before you tried on the gowns? Didn’t I ask you not to make a fuss with Ye Zhenzhen anymore?"
Fu Shinuan looked startled, her face full of innocence, "I didn’t!"
Cheng Shaoqing scoffed coldly, "I’ve only told you what kind of woman I like, omitted to tell you what kind I loathe. I loathe the petty and jealous types. I approached you because I thought you were low-maintenance, not because I wanted you causing trouble behind my back..."
He hadn’t realized it before, but after encountering Song Jin and Ye Zhenzhen today, it dawned on him; this circle might seem large, allowing some to avoid each other forever, and yet small, bringing people you thought you’d never see into an unexpected encounter.
Like with Fu Shinuan, whom he only used to appease his family, and suddenly there he was, running into the Song couple...
He didn’t want to date or marry, so frankly, he didn’t want to expend too much energy cleaning up these messes!
