Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 434

Chapter 434: 434

An Xi hurried over to take the pot from Gu Xiaoran’s hands and set it aside, then hugged the child in concern. "Son, did you get burned?"

Gu Xiaoran shook her head, feeling very aggrieved. Tears started flowing uncontrollably as she sobbed, "The breakfast is gone... wahh..."

The little one couldn’t hold back his emotions; he felt so wronged, truly very wronged!

A good pot of pork and dough drop soup was almost spilled, his breakfast was gone again, and he was going to be hungry.

"Ranran, don’t cry. Let Daddy make another pot, okay?"

An Xi was really frustrated with Gu Liangjun, as if resenting him for not being tough enough. Before they married, what she admired was exactly Gu Liangjun’s tactless nature, which promised a life of luxury after joining the Gu Family.

But now, after such an incident, she started to have some regrets and wondered whether taking such a big risk to marry Gu Liangjun was worth it.

If the owner of that number were to leak the past events...

At this thought, An Xi felt a chill down her spine, a known fear sweeping through her entire body. She picked up the still crying Gu Xiaoran and stood up. "Okay, okay, Ranran, don’t cry. Shall Mommy take you to play with Xiao Chen, okay?"

She turned her head and instructed Gu Liangjun, "Husband, clean up here, I’ll go comfort Ranran."

"You all are leaving, how am I supposed to clean up by myself?"

Gu Liangjun looked at the mess on the floor and felt his scalp tingle with impatience filling his eyes.

An Xi thought: What’s to do? Just wipe it up with your hands, can’t you clean up the mess you made?

However, what she said was, "Husband, just wipe it up with the cloth little by little, take it slow, don’t rush~"

As Gu Xiaoran heard An Xi say this and glanced at the food spilled on the floor, she cried even harder...

"Alright, clean it up, Ranran keeps crying so I’m going to walk around over there!"

An Xi felt that if she stayed another minute, Gu Liangjun’s next words might be: I don’t know how, you clean it up, I’ll comfort the son.

Gu Liangjun watched An Xi’s retreating back and kicked a basin in frustration, his face etched with impatience.

From yesterday noon until this morning, it had all been worries about food, and it was not even something pigs would eat; it was simply a waste of life!

[An Xi did the right thing. Whoever caused the mess should clean it up, Gu Liangjun is an idiot!]

[Seeing Gu Liangjun upset makes me so happy, haha!]

[Gu Xiaoran has changed so much, oh. Last time he was picky, and this time he’s learned to cook for himself, not to mention the child is quite sensible.]

[What can you do when you have parents like these? Both adults can’t cook, the child picks up the slack, and yet it ends up being counterproductive. I really feel exhausted for Gu Xiaoran!]

...

When An Xi came looking for Song Yuchen with Gu Xiaoran in her arms, the little guy was helping Best Actor Xiao make dumplings, while Ye Zhenzhen was watching Song Jinze boil dumplings on the side.

Seeing Gu Xiaoran arrive, Xiao Chen immediately got up to greet him, "Brother Ranran, why are you crying?"

Gu Xiaoran pouted and narrated the recent incident to Xiao Chen through sobs, and did not forget to add, "My dad is so stupid, I was driven to tears by his stupidity!"

An Xi inwardly couldn’t agree more. If Gu Liangjun had been just a bit smarter, she probably wouldn’t have married into the Gu Family.

Song Yuchen sympathized with Gu Xiaoran’s plight and took his hand, saying, "Don’t cry, Brother Ranran. Why don’t you and Auntie An Xi have breakfast with us? We are making dumplings!"

"There aren’t enough dumplings!" Best Actor Xiao continued to make dumplings without lifting his head as he spoke.

The dumplings were indeed not enough; it was fine to leave Gu Xiaoran, the child, behind, but let’s forget about An Xi.

An Xi immediately felt a bit awkward, and she turned her gaze towards Ye Zhenzhen, who was standing over there, "Zhenzhen, then let Ranran eat with you guys. I’ve troubled you."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "It’s no trouble."

[Why can’t Best Actor Xiao let our Xixi stay and eat the dumplings? He’s here for a free meal too, right?]

[I see right through it; An Xi always tries to freeload a meal under the guise of her child. Best Actor Xiao is helping out, there aren’t enough dumplings, what’s wrong with saying no?]

[Exactly, An Xi isn’t out of ingredients on her side. If she wants to eat, why not go back and cook for herself? Why does she have to mooch off our Zhenzhen every episode of the show?]

[If it wasn’t for Gu Xiaoran and Xiao Chen getting along so well, I would think Gu Xiaoran shouldn’t be here either.]

After all, Gu Xiaoran was still a child, and he hadn’t heard anyone mention that he should think of his mother when something good came up. Now, hearing that he could eat with Xiao Chen without going hungry, he was instantly overjoyed.

As for An Xi, he hadn’t given her a single thought.

The dumplings in the pot started to boil, and Ye Zhenzhen told Song Jinze, "Add another round of cold water."

Song Jinze did as told.

An Xi was still standing there not having left; she was waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to invite her to stay for breakfast. Without receiving such an invitation, and truly not wanting to go back to her own tent to face Gu Liangjun, she just didn’t want to face him.

It was as if Gu Xiaoran suddenly noticed his mother, "An Xi, you go back first and help dad pack up. I’ll play with Xiao Chen after I finish eating here, and then we’ll go back together; you don’t have to worry about me."

"Okay, then mom will go back."

An Xi always felt that Ye Zhenzhen’s attitude towards her was a bit different from the last episode, rather cold.

If it were the last episode, she felt sure that Ye Zhenzhen would have asked her to stay for a meal. With so many dumplings, how could there not be enough?

In the past few days, after receiving that kind of message, when she thought about doing something detrimental to Ye Zhenzhen, she felt a bit guilty. She thought Ye Zhenzhen was quite nice, and wondered if doing something to hurt her would be wrong.

But now it seemed that Ye Zhenzhen probably didn’t consider her a real friend...

Xiao Yi was actually pretty reliable. Although the dumpling wrappers he made weren’t very pretty, they were passable, but the finished products were barely presentable.

Earlier, Ye Zhenzhen said she would help, but she was unanimously rejected by the two men and one boy.

It’s fine not to help; she could sit by the side and play, and she would also give some guidance to Song Jinze, who was preparing the filling.

Now, the first pot of dumplings were ready to be taken out. Aside from their unappealing appearance, once cooked, they smelled quite delicious on the table.

All the dumplings were wrapped, and the second pot was placed on the stove.

Xiao Yi frowned, looking dissatisfiedly at Song Jinze, "Brother, didn’t I tell you I wanted to eat pan-fried dumplings? Why did you boil them all?"

Song Jinze turned his head and exchanged a look of surprise with Xiao Yi, "Oh, I forgot!"

Xiao Yi got angry, pointing at Song Jinze and complaining to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, look, he’s always bullying me like this, making me work, and deliberately not making my favorite!"

[Enough already, Best Actor Xiao, give it a rest, the difference is too big, I really can’t stand it!]

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, really dying of laughter!]

[Zhenzhen: How about you two take it, I’m leaving!]
