Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 467 - 468

Chapter 467: Chapter 468

An Xi watched from a distance, feeling quite scared herself. After a moment’s thought, she turned back into the house to grab something like a shovel to drive away those dogs.

Before she could come out, Gu Liangjun, having run too hastily, had already tumbled to the ground in a heap.

Seeing Gu Liangjun fall, the three dogs that had been chasing him suddenly stopped in their tracks.

They just stood there, about a meter away from him, watching.

The duck in his hands struggled (quack quack quack) quite a bit before it took the opportunity of his loosened grip to make a break for it.

Seeing the duck escape, the three dogs that had followed also gave chase to the duck.

Gu Liangjun was speechless. So he had been chased by those dogs because of this duck?

Feeling utterly humiliated, he was seething inside, but unable to vent his anger.

[Oh no, Gu Liangjun has just given us a perfect demonstration of what ’a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush’ really means!]

[Isn’t it though, is he out of his mind? Why would he go catch someone else’s duck?]

[What else could it be? Can’t you tell? Of course, it’s to curry favor with President Song.]

[I always feel like this Gu Liangjun is a bit dim.]

[That’s not dim, that’s stupid. So far I’ve never seen parents as unreliable as An Xi and Gu Liangjun.]

Gu Liangjun picked himself up from the ground and walked towards home.

An Xi came over to him. "Honey, why did you catch a duck for no reason?"

To say it was for the kids to play with, he didn’t believe Gu Liangjun had that in mind.

Already furious, Gu Liangjun felt even angrier upon hearing An Xi’s question.

He replied irritably, "What could I do? Didn’t you see everything? Of course, it was to lure the dogs in this village for a running competition with me!"

An Xi: ...

Gu Liangjun is crazy!

An Xi had her thoughts, but the person concerned knew nothing of them. After dropping that remark, she went into the room.

Gu Liangjun felt that his whole heart was set on pleasing Song Jinze, yet An Xi knew nothing and cared even less.

Why did he catch the duck if not to make a good impression in front of Song Jinze?

He felt that he shouldn’t even need to think about it, that she should already know, instead of asking so many questions.

...

Ye Zhenzhen and Qiu Wanshuang were walking ahead, while the farmer’s wife followed closely behind.

Even though she had already been rejected, she refused to give up.

Ye Zhenzhen could slow down to let the other catch up.

"Sister, could you spare some time, if not today then maybe tomorrow, to visit our home?"

"It doesn’t matter if you can’t help, I just want to invite you to have fun in our orchard."

"I’m really desperate and with nowhere to turn, and I don’t want you to spend any money. I just hope more people can see and taste our home-grown natural fruits."

The farmer’s wife was speaking quite differently now compared to before.

It was as if she was a completely different person.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled, "As you can see, we’re currently recording a show. I’m actually quite busy every day, it’s just the same if you directly approach An Xi."

Clearly not a real farmer’s wife, yet pretending to be one.

Ye Zhenzhen was already suspicious of her, and to her surprise, the woman had caught up with them again.

But the more the woman wanted her to go, the more Ye Zhenzhen felt something was off.

[What does this mean? I heard about the orchard, is Sister Zhenzhen going to do a live stream selling products again?]

[So this farmer’s wife was designated to find Ye Zhenzhen? An Xi said she would help, wouldn’t that be enough?]

[After all that talk, it’s just this, isn’t this creating too much mystery?]
