Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 341 Stay Calm

Chapter 341: 341 Stay Calm

Speaking of An Xi, Wu Yuerou was even more infuriated. She had only been thinking of Ye Zhenzhen these past two days and had completely forgotten about An Xi.

An Xi took her place to attend the kids’ variety show, eagerly currying favor with Ye Zhenzhen on the program. The Gu Family even sponsored advertisements on Lemon Channel. Living the life of a wealthy young madam, An Xi must be quite comfortable!

With this thought, Wu Yuerou’s face was full of disdain. Comfortable, huh?

An Xi doesn’t deserve it!

"How do you know about my relationship with An Xi?"

Han Jiangxue was just waiting for Wu Yuerou to ask this question. "An Xi told me herself. When you had your incident, she came to my house the very next day and clarified your relationship with her, even asking me to plead with Director Fei to let her join the program instead, saying ’it’s better to keep the benefits within the family...’"

As she spoke, Wu Yuerou’s face darkened with barely concealed rage. "An Xi, that bitch!"

Having heard Wu Yuerou’s words, Han Jiangxue felt she had a good grasp of the relationship between the two. Initially, An Xi had chosen to seek her help instead of personally asking Wu Yuerou for a favor, which meant their relationship was certainly not that good.

Now, it appeared that their relationship was not only not good but also quite hostile.

She continued, "Sister Yuerou, do you have some sort of misunderstanding with An Xi?"

Wu Yuerou looked up, her eyes filled with suspicion. "Why do you ask that?"

Indeed, there was some bad blood between her and An Xi, and she also knew some secrets about An Xi that others didn’t.

Han Jiangxue smiled. "Sister Yuerou, we’ve known each other for so long, and I’ve always regarded you as a true friend. There are some things I’m not sure if I should mention..."

"But it doesn’t hurt to say, did that little bitch An Xi tell you anything else?"

Han Jiangxue nodded. "At the time, I thought she was your cousin, so I helped her by speaking to Director Fei. After the program lineup was decided, she quietly pulled me aside and said that Chief An had an incident, and she also told me to avoid you in the future..."

At this point, Wu Yuerou couldn’t help but slam the table. "Hmph, that little slut, I knew it..."

Seeing Wu Yuerou’s agitated and angry demeanor, Han Jiangxue knew she had achieved her objective.

While Wu Yuerou was in trouble before, An Xi’s mother-in-law leveraged her financial power to unexpectedly fill Wu Yuerou’s spot on the show for An Xi.

Now that she was embroiled in scandals, An Xi had snatched away the coveted role of the second female lead that Wu Yuerou had worked so hard for. That woman, just as detestable as Ye Zhenzhen!

Looking at Wu Yuerou now, a hint of triumph flickered in her heart. Using Wu Yuerou to deal with An Xi was far more effective than taking action herself...

"Moreover, the relationship between An Xi and Ye Zhenzhen seems to be quite good..."

Han Jiangxue added fuel to the fire. An Xi, ever the opportunist, had not supported her on the program but had sided with Ye Zhenzhen. Now knowing how much Wu Yuerou hated her, she certainly couldn’t miss this opportunity.

It would be best to let Wu Yuerou, this mad dog, bite both An Xi and Ye Zhenzhen hard, so she could then reap the benefits of their struggle.

Wu Yuerou scoffed with contempt, "Two bitches!"

...

That evening, An Xi was at home watching TV with Gu Xiaoran.

Since returning from the show, An Xi had noticed a change in her mother-in-law’s attitude. Previously, when at home, she hardly allowed her son to interact with her. Now, seeing them together, her mother-in-law no longer whisked the child away as before.

Gu Xiaoran was laughing happily at the cartoon when An Xi picked up her phone to check the time, and she saw an unknown number calling.

She answered the call casually, "Hello?"

"An Xi, you’ve been doing well recently, haven’t you?"

Hearing this voice, the smile on An Xi’s face instantly vanished, "Sis-, Sister-in-law."

Receiving a call from Wu Yuerou at this hour made her feel uneasy inside.

With An Hao in trouble, Wu Yuerou reaching out to her definitely wasn’t for anything good.

"Oh~ it looks like you haven’t forgotten about your sister-in-law," Wu Yurou’s voice carried a tone of scorn and pride.

An Xi forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? It’s so late, do you need something from me?"

As she spoke these words, An Xi tried hard to control her trembling voice, striving to maintain her composure.

"Calling you this late, of course, there’s a matter, An Xi. I need two hundred thousand, and you’re going to transfer it to me right away."

An Xi quickly covered the phone, stood up from the sofa, and prepared to walk to her own room.

Madam Gu was coming to find her grandson and ran straight into her, "So flustered, what are you doing?"

An Xi whispered, "I’m going to make a call inside."

Madam Gu gave her a sideways glance but didn’t say anything further and went on to call Gu Xiaoran, "Ranran, let’s go, come and sleep with Grandma..."

After entering her room, An Xi then responded to Wu Yuerou’s demand, "Sister Yuerou, you’re so rich, why would you ask me for such a small amount of money?"

Wu Yuerou skipped the niceties, snorted coldly, "An Xi, don’t try to play innocent with me. I know exactly what you are, and don’t tell me you don’t know about An Hao’s troubles. I’m telling you, your brother has been harmed by that bitch Ye Zhenzhen. I heard you’re close with Ye Zhenzhen, that your interactions are quite intimate?

Do you believe that I’ll go to the Gu Family tomorrow and spill all the previous incidents, making it impossible for you to become this wealthy lady?"

An Xi’s face turned deathly pale, she silently took several deep breaths before speaking, "Sister-in-law, there’s nothing between me and Ye Zhenzhen, let alone close interactions. If we’re talking about close relationships, naturally I’m closer with you, sister-in-law."

"Then stop talking nonsense and transfer two hundred thousand to me immediately!"

Wu Yuerou, for An Xi, was like a ticking time bomb - her insides had already crumbled, but she forcefully suppressed it on the surface, "Okay, send me the card number, I’ll transfer the money to you right now."

Hearing An Xi’s compliant submission, the smile on Wu Yuerou’s face grew even more triumphant, "That’s more like it. I’ll have you know, before I just couldn’t be bothered to fuss over you, to deal with you, but now, well, you also know, you’re the only one I can count on, so from now on, whatever I say, you have to listen, or else, you know what the consequences will be..."

With that, Wu Yuerou hung up the phone.

A message with a bank account number promptly arrived on An Xi’s phone.

Looking at the message, her hand grasping the phone slowly tightened, emotions of regret and spite intertwining, why did her life have to turn out this way!

"An Xi! An Xi!" Gu Xiaoran was knocking outside, "An Xi, hurry up and open the door!"

An Xi went over to open the door, to find Gu Xiaoran and Madam Gu standing outside, "Ranran still wants to sleep with you, take him and go to bed quickly."

Still not recovered from the emotions of the phone call, An Xi nodded blankly, "Okay."

Watching Madam Gu walk away, An Xi gripped her phone tightly. She absolutely couldn’t let irrelevant people and matters destroy the life she had now...
