Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 397

Chapter 397: 397

Xiao Yi was just about to get in touch with Feige when Feige showed up at his house with dinner.

"My Lord, what a rarity! How did you manage to leave your room?"

Lately, this lord had no work on his hands. He would order takeout for lunch, and when he got off work in the evening, he would bring dinner over.

Almost every day when he arrived, this lord was either gaming or sleeping in his room. It was the first time he had come out to greet him like today.

Feige placed each food container from the bag onto the dining table and, seeing that Xiao Yi didn’t say anything, turned to look at him.

"Why are you looking at me with that expression?"

"Hmm, I just think you’re too kind."

Feige was stunned for a moment and then joked, "I’m just afraid you’ll starve to death. If there is no one around when you make your comeback in acting, I’d have to pay a penalty fee. I’m not as good as you think!"

But delivering a meal was nothing; it was something he should do.

To be fair, Xiao Yi was practically a God of Wealth to Feige; he had dozens of endorsements under his name. Besides "Selflessness," Feige had also gotten him a part in a big-budget sci-fi movie, which had been set a couple of months ago and was to be filmed abroad in the second half of next year.

Upon reflection, it seemed this lord had been busy for two consecutive years without taking a vacation of more than three days, even spending the New Year in a film crew.

So, recently, when he declined appearances, he had also helped him turn them down. After all, he was about to join a film crew soon, and right after finishing, he would have to go abroad. He hardly had any free time at all.

Let him play to his heart’s content.

Xiao Yi didn’t find Feige’s joking remark out of place. After all, it was Feige who had introduced him to the industry.

He listened to Feige on many career matters.

"What do you think about me joining a kid’s variety show?"

Suddenly, Feige heard Xiao Yi say this from behind him.

Feige wiped his hands with a tissue, turned around with an expression as if looking at a lunatic, "What did you say? Did you just say you want to join a kid’s variety show?"

Xiao Yi sat down at the dining table and started to prepare for his dinner, "Yeah, a kid’s variety show."

"Have you lost it after staying home so much? What’s going on in your mind?"

"Do you even know what you’re talking about?"

"Do you have a son or a daughter? How are you going to join a kid’s variety show?"

Feige issued a triple soul interrogation.

Xiao Yi leisurely ate his dinner with an indifferent expression, "I know what I’m saying. I just want to find a comfortable and fun variety show, just consider it a vacation. I don’t have kids, which is why I’m telling you to figure out a way for me to have a reasonable and not far-fetched reason to join this show."

Feige: ???

A reasonable and not far-fetched reason indeed.

"Are you serious?" He still thought this lord was joking with him until now.

He felt it must be because he had been too idle recently that he came up with such impractical ideas that didn’t suit his public persona at all.

"I couldn’t be more serious," said Xiao Yi as he took a bite of sweet and sour pork, his brow slightly furrowed, "Did you change where you bought this from today? The vinegar in this sweet and sour pork is a bit too much, sour."

Feige: ...

Sour?

Knowing Xiao Yi, he only became sensitive to taste when he had something on his mind.

The sweet and sour pork was from the same place he bought it the day before yesterday, and back then, he even praised the dish as delicious.

So he bought it again today.

In that moment, Feige probably guessed what this lord was really plotting.

Now on Weibo everyone is saying Ye Zhenzhen and Song Jinze are a plastic couple, Song Jinze probably won’t join the kiddie variety show.

So, did this guy start spouting such nonsensical words to me only after he saw those comments from netizens online?

Feige felt it was really absurd when it occurred to her.

Ye Zhenzhen is already married to Song Jinze, so whether their relationship is good or not, it has nothing to do with them, and how can just a look at those crazy comments online start giving people ideas?

Xiao Yi casually ate a few bites before putting down his chopsticks, feeling that today’s dishes didn’t quite suit his taste.

He didn’t usually eat much in the evenings to begin with.

Feige watched him stand up from the dining table, and only then did he say, "With all those wild rumors online about you and Ye Zhenzhen this and that, it’s already far-fetched enough.

Plus, you don’t have kids, how is this reasonable?"

Feige was getting anxious.

Ye Zhenzhen had no such intentions towards him at all, why couldn’t he understand? Yet he still insisted on joining the same variety show with her.

Moreover, it was a reality show, which was ridiculous.

"It has nothing to do with Ye Zhenzhen, I told you, I just want to join a variety show for fun."

It was indeed unrelated to Ye Zhenzhen, but this matter still necessary involved Song Jinze.

The two of them had not connected before, and that was fine, but now that they were in contact, he really felt that the guy was getting more and more despicable.

Recently in his Moments, he would show off his love affair every so often.

If it wasn’t eating breakfast with his wife, then it was his wife preparing something for him, he didn’t feel anything at first.

Until this morning, when Tang Tian contacted him, asking him to get together.

Tang Tianyou knew Song Jinze, and he naturally knew about the relationship between Xiao Yi and Song Jinze. The three had known each other for a few years, and as an insider, Cheng Tianyou mentioned Ye Zhenzhen when he asked Xiao Yi.

Tang Tianyou was worried that Xiao Yi might have fallen out with Song Jinze again because of Ye Zhenzhen.

After all, there were some sporadic rumors online, suggesting various things about Xiao Yi and Ye Zhenzhen.

Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Don’t worry, the couple is very much in love. Haven’t you seen President Song’s Moments? Showing off their love all the time."

As the conversation turned to Song Jinze’s Moments, Tang Tianyou was completely unaware.

Feeling very puzzled, he said, "I’ve had him on WeChat for so many years, and I haven’t seen him post anything in his Moments.

Even for his company’s events or anniversaries, I’ve never seen him post, and now he’s started showing off his love? It seems President Song is really serious about it."

Tang Tianyou was quite interested in the fact that Song Jinze was showing love in his Moments and even specially went to check Moments, only to realize he saw nothing.

"I haven’t seen anything here, did you make a mistake? Or maybe it’s not President Song himself."

That’s just the way Song Jinze is, he wouldn’t post in Moments, would he?

"No,"

Xiao Yi confirmed as he looked through Song Jinze’s Moments.

He had not made any mistake, it was indeed Song Jinze himself.

Tang Tianyou and Cheng Shaoqing were together, and he had Cheng Shaoqing look at Moments, but he also discovered nothing.

As things progressed, Xiao Yi also understood;

The only entanglement between the two of them now was Ye Zhenzhen. Tang Tianyou and Cheng Shaoqing definitely had more contact with Song Jinze than he had, they couldn’t see his Moments, but him, someone who hadn’t been in regular touch with him for years, recently kept seeing his Moments.

So the Moments Song Jinze posted were all targeted at him alone.

He thought it was only that persimmons’ Moments targeting him alone, but it turned out all the recent Moments were aimed at him.
