Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Where is Your Husband?

The post Ye Zhenzhen had clarified and released on the microblogging platform caused quite a stir.

Many artists within the circle forwarded her post and gave her likes, supporting her actions. They couldn’t tolerate such malicious defamation and slanderous rumors.

An Xi also forwarded Ye Zhenzhen’s post on the microblogging platform and gave her a like.

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen not only took part in the Little Pink Elephant’s shoot but also gained new popularity online, Han Jiangxue was so frustrated that she immediately called Su Jin...

...

After picking up Xiao Chen, Ye Zhenzhen took him to play with Xiao Yiyi and Xu Wanjia.

During dinner, Xu Wanjia suddenly asked Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, did you hear? Director Fei said that they’re planning the third installment of ’Mom’s Companion’ and want the fathers to participate too."

"Ah?" This news was indeed surprising to Ye Zhenzhen, "I haven’t heard about it."

If that was the case, it was highly likely that she wouldn’t participate in the third season, as Song Jinze would definitely not join her and Xiao Chen on the program.

Plus, he’s a busy President after all.

Xu Wanjia laughed, "It’s normal that you haven’t heard. Yesterday, Director Fei invited our Director Yang to dinner and mentioned this. He said their channel was still planning, and nothing was confirmed. But your family--"

Upon hearing the key phrase about dad participating in the show, Song Yuchen immediately replied excitedly, "Auntie, my dad will participate too!"

If dad also went, then he would be able to play with both mom and dad, which would be absolutely fantastic!

Ye Zhenzhen patted the little guy’s head, "Do you still want to be on the show?"

The little guy nodded, "Mhm, I want to. Is Sister Yi Yi going?"

Xiao Yiyi nodded, "Yes, my dad said he would accompany me and mom too!"

"Then my dad will go too." The little guy said with a face full of pride.

Hehe, he would definitely make dad join the show with them!

Seeing how happy the two children were, Xu Wanjia felt sorry for Ye Zhenzhen. Could Xiao Chen’s dad... really appear on the show?

Ye Zhenzhen expressed her doubts, "Does Director Yang have the time to participate? Isn’t our movie about to start shooting?"

The script had already been read through, and the production team was making preparations for the shoot. Once filming started, there probably wouldn’t be time, she feared.

Xu Wanjia smiled, "Exactly, Director Fei was considering our Director Yang’s schedule. Therefore, the program’s specific itinerary and arrangements are still to be decided; nothing is set in stone yet."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Then this timing really does need to be arranged properly."

After all, the production team can’t do without Director Yang.

With that said, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt overwhelmed by all the things coming her way: the movie’s kickoff, variety shows, and the charity dinner this week—it felt like one thing after another...

...

In a blink of an eye, it was Friday.

Aside from dropping off and picking up Xiao Chen, Ye Zhenzhen hadn’t gone anywhere these past few days, concentrating on reading the script at home.

Song Jinze went on a business trip to Haicheng on Wednesday afternoon. They had been in contact over the phone, but she wasn’t sure exactly when he would return and she didn’t ask.

In the morning Xiao Chen had told Ye Zhenzhen that he also wanted to attend the banquet, and since this was in line with her intentions, she went to pick up the little fellow from kindergarten in the afternoon.

The Jiangcheng Chenguang Charity Dinner was highly regarded within the industry, and coupled with Ye Zhenzhen’s recent popularity, netizens also showed high interest in Ye Zhenzhen and Chenguang.

The venue for the charity dinner was at the Huanya Hotel, with a red carpet laid out from the outer reception all the way into the hall.

Those attending the dinner included not only business elites but also some notable artists from the entertainment circle. However, being an artist was merely a hobby for them—their real identities were investors and bosses behind the scenes.

Otherwise, they couldn’t casually attend a high-profile charity dinner like Chenguang’s.

Starting from 6 p.m., a steady stream of luxury cars arrived at the hotel entrance, carrying people either dressed in suits with a female companion or well-known directors and popular actors from the circle.

The Chenguang Charity Dinner was not broadcast live; only the photographers from Chenguang were taking pictures at the entrance and inside the hall for future publicity.

When Ye Zhenzhen appeared at the dinner scene wearing a GK haute couture gown from the current season, leading the handsome and cute Xiao Chen, President Lei of Chenguang immediately came out to greet her, "Mrs. Song!"

"President Lei."

The two shook hands with each other and exchanged pleasantries.

"Mrs. Song, why didn’t you come with President Song?"

Ye Zhenzhen replied with a smile, "He has gone to Haicheng on a business trip and hasn’t returned yet."

President Lei nodded, appearing to understand, "He should be arriving soon then."

In previous years, President Song wouldn’t attend the dinner, but just now President Lei had received a call from Secretary Zhang, who said President Song would attend the dinner tonight.

Therefore, when he saw Mrs. Song leading her son out of the car, he thought President Song had come as well.

But Ye Zhenzhen was filled with doubt at President Lei’s words, and right after that, Liu Rui’s voice came from behind her, "Zhenzhen!"

Song Yuchen was the first to greet Liu Rui, "Aunt Huahua!"

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen had encountered an acquaintance, President Lei didn’t say much more, only saying, "Mrs. Song, if you need anything later, feel free to find me."

"Sure, President Lei, you go ahead with your duties."

After President Lei left, Chen Ke and Liu Rui also approached Ye Zhenzhen, and Chen Ke asked, "Zhenzhen, was that President Lei just now?"

When asking this, Chen Ke’s gaze towards Ye Zhenzhen changed dramatically, feeling that this woman really had a lot under her sleeve, actually being a shareholder of Chenguang.

"Yes," Ye Zhenzhen responded, her attention drawn to the gown Liu Rui was wearing, "Huahua, that gown looks really beautiful on you!"

Liu Rui was wearing a light purple chiffon gown that day, with a deep V-neck and a high-waisted design that perfectly outlined her tall figure, completely different from her usual attire.

Xiao Chen also complimented generously, "Aunt Huahua, you look really beautiful today!"

Liu Rui reached out to touch the little guy’s cheek, "Then who do you think is prettier, Aunt Huahua or your mom?"

"Of course, my mom is prettier, my mom is the gentlest and most beautiful mom in the whole world, no one can compare!" The little guy’s face was full of pride and brightness.

Ye Zhenzhen was amused by his little ways, "This little one, your sweet talk has really improved lately!"

Just like that man, his tone had become much gentler than before, and the words he said were more pleasing to the ear.

Liu Rui examined Ye Zhenzhen’s black strapless gown and nodded, "This outfit must have been chosen by your husband, right?"

It was much more conservative compared to the gowns GK rented to them, from which one could tell that the man cared a lot about Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and remained silent.

Liu Rui looked around, leaned close to her ear, and asked softly, "Where’s your husband?"

She had looked around and hadn’t seen anyone.

"He’s on a business trip, didn’t come."

Liu Rui’s face was immediately covered with disappointment, "It would have been better if your husband were here."

That way, everyone could see that Zhenzhen’s husband was a tall, handsome stud, not some old fogy. If the two of them made a public appearance together, she wanted to see who would dare to slander Zhenzhen with that matter again!
