Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 360 Counterattack!

Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Counterattack!

Tang Ying, accompanied by her lawyer, arrived just as Ye Zhenzhen and Liu Rui had hung up their call.

After receiving a call from Ye Zhenzhen, upon hearing that Zhenzhen needed her to handle a matter, Liu Rui left the charity auction scene immediately and waited in her car for Ye Zhenzhen to call back.

The task Ye Zhenzhen assigned to Liu Rui was rather straightforward: she was to purchase trending searches and employ paid trolls to expose both Han Jiangxue’s current debacle and her past misdeeds online.

To also have someone anonymously inform the paparazzi in Jiangcheng so that those nosy reporters would all know Han Jiangxue had been taken to the police station for her involvement in a kidnapping and a brawl...

Han Jiangxue had tarnished her image so many times; tonight, Zhenzhen would return all the slights she had suffered back to Han Jiangxue. If it was time to strike back, it had to be done thoroughly, to prevent Han Jiangxue from ever rising again.

Liu Rui was quick to act; just a few short minutes after hanging up the phone, Weibo was flooded with numerous negative trending searches about Han Jiangxue:

#HanJiangxueArrestedForKidnappingStepson#

#HanJiangxueSuspectedOfBrawling#

#HanJiangxuePaysForTrollsToMaliciouslyDefameYeZhenzhen#

In the eyes of the public, Ye Zhenzhen was now the epitome of the perfect stepmother, with a handsome and wealthy husband who had openly acknowledged their relationship in public, and an endearing and obedient stepson, Song Yuchen, with whom she shared an excellent relationship.

Compared with Han Jiangxue’s incidents, each and every one was enough to ruin her career in the industry.

Now, at the height of Ye Zhenzhen’s popularity, such a shocking scandal about Han Jiangxue had erupted, prompting people to wonder if Han Jiangxue was trying to steal Ye Zhenzhen’s thunder by buying trending searches to smear herself?

[Han Jiangxue is really disgusting! Seeing Zhenzhen become popular, she started buying negative trending searches to draw attention to herself?]

[I’m really laughing out loud; she buys trending searches to smear our Zhenzhen? She used to label Zhenzhen an evil stepmother, and now she’s talking about herself, hahaha!]

[This woman has only such tricks left. She can’t get along with her stepson well, and her husband is not as good as our Zhenzhen’s husband, it’s hilarious!]

[Wasn’t Han Jiangxue’s husband previously claimed to be the deputy head of Huanya? That has never been confirmed, whereas Ye Zhenzhen’s husband is indeed the President of Huanya. So, could all of that have been made up by Han Jiangxue?]

[The deputy head of Huanya Group does not bear the name Shen, I can say that with absolute certainty; and it’s really Ye Zhenzhen’s husband who is the president!]

[Could it be that Han Jiangxue was pretending to be something she’s not, trying to put on airs like Zhenzhen, but Zhenzhen didn’t expose her, and instead, she carried on smearing Zhenzhen online herself?]

[That’s exactly what I think. This woman is truly disgusting and vile!]

Considering all the events that had occurred between Han Jiangxue and Ye Zhenzhen over the past month or so, reporters and marketing accounts were starting to chase their KPIs.

They were keeping up with current events while simultaneously taking rumors out of context and adding fuel to the fire, executing it to perfection.

All kinds of fans and marketing accounts were busy on various social media platforms and Weibo, while reporters, in addition to writing articles to ride the wave of popularity, had also begun to play to their strengths as paparazzi, following the address leaked by Liu Rui to hurry to the police station.

However, the topics surrounding Han Jiangxue didn’t end there. Ye Zhenzhen had merely thrown a stone into the calm waters, but what followed, with reporters and fans exposing more shocking news, literally dropped jaws:

[I heard that Yibo’s biological mother has returned. She beat up Han Jiangxue on the streets of Jincheng a few days ago, sending Han Jiangxue to the hospital.]

[She deserves it! Really deserves it!]

[There’s more! Han Jiangxue’s husband wants to divorce her. Then she pretended to be pregnant in the hospital to deceive her husband but got exposed on the spot!]

"She thinks she can get pregnant and have a baby? In her dreams! Treating her stepchild so evilly, she would just end up harming her own child too, along with Yibo!"

"I hope President Shen follows through with divorcing her right away, so she won’t be able to hurt our Yibo anymore!"

"Ew~, the more I talk about it, the sicker I feel. So what kind of person is Han Jiangxue really~"

"I’ve gone from fan to hater, for life. I used to like her so much, and now I can’t stand her I dislike her just as much. Someone like her is truly despicable, get out of the entertainment industry already!"

Shen Zhaonan was aware of these trending searches about Han Jiangxue, but he didn’t pay attention to them, and didn’t want to bother. After inviting Old Master Su over to the Shen Family as a guest, he went to pick up Yibo from the Song family.

When Tang Ying contacted him, hoping he’d go to the police station with her, he outright refused without a second thought.

It was because he had learned from Su Jin that before Han Jiangxue married him, she had used Shen Yibo to gain their father and son’s trust.

The methods were exactly the same as today. Back then, Su Jin wasn’t part of the Su Family yet and was just a gang leader in Jiangcheng, who had kidnapped Yibo for money at Han Jiangxue’s behest.

He remembered that when he found Yibo, he was prepared to call the police, but Han Jiangxue stopped him. She said that since the other party had kept their promise not to hurt the child, they shouldn’t harm them in return, to avoid Yibo getting hurt by them in the future.

At that time, he thought Han Jiangxue was kind-hearted, with the child’s best interest always the starting point for all her actions, so he didn’t call the police. But he remembered Su Jin.

What Han Jiangxue did today was merely her reaping what she had sown. He didn’t even report Han Jiangxue for kidnapping his son, so how could he go see her and bail her out?

...

Meanwhile, Tang Ying entered with a lawyer, and soon after, Song Jinze and Cheng Zheng arrived, accompanied by lawyers from Huanya Group.

Ye Zhenzhen watched as the man’s tall figure stepped out of the car and walked quickly towards her, asking in a low and soft voice, "Where are you hurt?"

He seemed so worried about her?

Ye Zhenzhen, once again akin to an actress, lifted her wrist and said pitifully, "It hurts a bit here, the rest doesn’t hurt so much."

The pain was from hitting Han Jiangxue too hard earlier. She didn’t have to mention it, but since the man came, she naturally wanted him to stand up for her.

Han Jiangxue wanted to get a medical examination, right? She could do the same.

With a person as shameless and brazen as Han Jiangxue, you can’t reason or take the normal approach, you have to play dirty.

As Song Jinze carefully examined the injury on her wrist, Ye Zhenzhen broadly outlined what had happened at the hotel earlier. However, she narrated a version that she had conveniently optimized.

Basically, she was looking for Xiao Chen when she overheard Han Jiangxue’s plan to kidnap her, which ended up involving the two children, leading to a tangle between three women over the kids...

Song Jinze frowned, "So what you’re saying is, that woman wanted to kidnap her own stepson and also have someone go after you?"

"Yes, yes!" Ye Zhenzhen continued to make a pitiful face and nodded.

So, President Song, you absolutely have to seek justice for your wife. Have the lawyer sue that wicked woman fiercely, don’t let her turn the tables!

Even if it means fabricating charges, sue that wicked woman to death!
