Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 362 [Second Update~] I didn’t say anything!

Chapter 362: Chapter 362 [Second Update~] I didn’t say anything!

After receiving the message from An Xi, Gu Liangjun rushed over, and now that the matters were settled, he eagerly offered to host everyone, "Everyone has had a tough night, how about I treat everyone to some late-night snacks?"

When Gu Liangjun said this, his gaze and gestures were directed towards Song Jinze and Cheng Zheng, his face bearing an extremely sincere smile.

He had initially thought that only Song Jinze would be there tonight, but unexpectedly Cheng Zheng had also arrived, and Gu Liangjun wanted to ingratiate himself with both of them.

An Xi silently observed Gu Liangjun’s words and actions, sighing to herself that it would be better to remain silent at such a time!

The more one speaks, the more awkward it gets!

In response to Gu Liangjun’s suggestion, everyone seemed to lack enthusiasm, and the ladies did not speak. Cheng Zheng was the first to respond, "President Gu, let’s call it a day for now. You and your wife have been troubled enough today. When I have time later on, I, Cheng Zheng, will be the host and treat you both to a meal."

They still had to fly back to Jincheng tonight.

As for Gu Liangjun, the Gu Family started with daily chemicals and had substantial strength. It was said that they were recently considering entering into the tourism business, and he felt that there could be an opportunity for them to understand each other more deeply in the future, just not now.

He and Su Xi needed to hurry back to Jincheng to deal with the mess Su Jin had caused before.

Song Jinze also replied coolly, "No need for tonight, maybe next time."

Equally polite yet distant.

Dong Yan also chimed in, "Thank you for your kind offer, President Gu. We appreciate your help tonight. I need to go and find Yibo now. Let’s make plans another time when I’m free, and I’ll treat you."

After finishing her words, Dong Yan approached Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, let me add you on WeChat."

She had been wanting to get Ye Zhenzhen’s contact information but hadn’t found the right moment. Now that they were about to part ways, she naturally couldn’t miss the opportunity.

"Sure." Ye Zhenzhen took out her phone and added Dong Yan on WeChat.

"Then I’ll be taking my leave first. Zhenzhen, I will contact you."

"Sure, let’s be in touch."

After Dong Yan left with her lawyer, the Cheng Zheng couple also said goodbye to everyone. Cheng Zheng mentioned to Song Jinze that they still had to rush back to Jincheng tonight and that next time they would bring Cheng Jiaming along.

Song Jinze and Ye Zhenzhen left afterwards.

Outside the police station, there were already quite a few paparazzi waiting. Hindered by the police and Song Jinze’s bodyguards, they didn’t dare to barge in. They only started snapping pictures as black sedans left one after the other...

Ye Zhenzhen looked through the car window at the journalists with their long and short lenses and a barely discernible sneer crossed her lips—Han Jiangxue was finished!

She took out her phone and checked Weibo, where trending topics were constantly refreshing. Tonight, everyone’s focus was originally on her and Song Jinze.

Now, it was all about denouncing Han Jiangxue. From the topics on Weibo, it was evident that the lawyer who had appeared at the station earlier had encountered these reporters waiting outside while looking for a cab.

These entertainment journalists had come here to get special information unattainable from other sources, and they certainly wouldn’t let this lawyer slip away without questioning him first.

Initially, the lawyer remained silent, thinking that he could just leave as soon as the taxi arrived, but these paparazzi were in the business of confronational journalism. They wouldn’t dare to surround Song Jinze and Ye Zhenzhen but they certainly wouldn’t let a minor lawyer leave without giving them something to use.

No matter how eloquent a lawyer is, they can hardly stand against the collective voices that surround them;

Sharp questions followed one after the other, with some people even taking notes.

A lawyer also cares about face and reputation. He couldn’t possibly admit that he left because he was afraid of President Song of Huanya and didn’t dare to face off against Jiangcheng’s fiercest lawyer, Lawyer Zheng, in court, right?

Nor could he let these entertainment journalists write whatever they wanted because of his silence. After pondering, the lawyer finally said, "I studied law to uphold justice and help those who truly need it."

After he said that, before the journalists could react, he got into a taxi and slipped away!

However, because of the lawyer’s statement, it essentially confirmed all of Han Jiangxue’s previous trending searches. The netizens didn’t wait for a verdict and convicted her themselves;

[Han Jiangxue is done for! Even her lawyer isn’t helping her, which means she has no chance of winning!]

[Are you dumb, upstairs? What chance of winning? Han Jiangxue has done all kinds of evil deeds, and you’re talking about chances—what, does she actually think she can find a lawyer to fight her case and make a comeback?!]

[Ugh, disgusting! Our Zhenzhen’s popularity tonight has been tainted by her mess!]

[Don’t just care about that. What I want to know is, is our Zhenzhen in any danger tonight? Did Han Jiangxue lay a hand on Zhenzhen?]

[If she dares to touch our Zhenzhen, I swear I’ll find someone to beat her to death!]

[Calm down, upstairs. Our Zhenzhen’s husband is a big shot. He’ll take care of it without you having to lift a finger.]

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t read any more comments and opened her Weibo homepage to post a status update;

[I’m fine, good night everyone!]

Liu Rui didn’t say she wouldn’t post an update, did she? Well, tonight she’ll post just one to stop her fans from worrying.

No sooner had she posted her status than her fans started leaving comments below, checking in to express their relief that Zhenzhen was alright.

The next second, Ye Zhenzhen received a call from Xiao Yi.

Without a thought, she hit the accept call button;

"Ye Zhenzhen, are you okay?"

Hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, Ye Zhenzhen felt a burning gaze fixed on her the entire time.

She turned her head instinctively and met the man’s deep-set eyes, her pink lips moved slightly, "Yeah, I’m fine."

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became tense and awkward, making Ye Zhenzhen somewhat uncomfortable.

She asked, "It’s so late, if you have nothing else, I’m going to hang up, alright!"

It was already past midnight, who else would call her this late other than Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi made the call because he had just scrolled through Weibo. He had been in Licheng for a shooting and couldn’t make it back until now; during Chenguang’s dinner event, he was on a plane the whole time.

He had just gotten home, taken a shower, and seen the Weibo topic about Ye Zhenzhen and Han Jiangxue. He was debating whether to call Song Jinze or Ye Zhenzhen when he saw Ye Zhenzhen’s new update.

"Yeah, it’s nothing, just... get some rest soon, good night."

After hanging up, Ye Zhenzhen put away her phone and met Song Jinze’s gaze as she looked up. She still subconsciously explained, "Just asked a couple of questions."

It wasn’t anything much.

Yeah right, it wasn’t anything, so why did she feel the need to explain it to him!

By doing so, wasn’t she just showing that she cared about him?

Song Jinze’s eyes darkened and his lips curled into a faint smile, "I didn’t say anything either."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

I knew it!

This jerk always responds like that.
