Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 504 - 503: Mad Dog!

Chapter 504: Chapter 503: Mad Dog!

Soon, Ye Zhenzhen received a WeChat message from Su Xi. Opening it, she played a voice recording.

The speaker was Cheng Zheng.

The live interview on the phone had ended, and the throng of entertainment reporters surrounding Song Jinze had been sent away.

After listening to the entire recording, the gloom at the bottom of Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes faded in an instant, and a faint smile could even be discerned.

She got up, picked up her bag, and prepared to go downstairs.

Liu Rui and Yu Lili exchanged excited glances. The hot search that briefly made waves last night was now substantiated by President Song’s quick rebuttal to the ill-intentioned onlookers.

They hurriedly gathered their belongings to follow Ye Zhenzhen, intending to capture the meeting between Zhenzhen and President Song and post it on Weibo, continuing to slap those haters in the face!

As the three of them waited for the elevator, Fu Shinuan and her assistant also came out.

Looking around and seeing that there was no one else, Fu Shinuan snorted coldly and mocked, "Some people surely don’t believe that President Song’s denial of the childhood sweetheart story is true, right?

Miss Lu and President Song are in a cold war now. That wasn’t said for your benefit—it was for Miss Lu’s ears.

Our Baisheng makeup room has a large mirror; I wonder if someone just looked in it and considered whether they were a good fit or not?"

With that, Fu Shinuan even rolled her eyes at Ye Zhenzhen, implying that a mere contract stepmother could never compare with Lu Sangning’s position as the birth mother.

"You son of a..."

Yu Lili, infuriated by Fu Shinuan’s despicable expression, rushed forward to argue but was stopped by Ye Zhenzhen’s raised hand.

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head slightly at Yu Lili, indicating for her not to speak.

Liu Rui, too, wanted to give Fu Shinuan a piece of her mind.

However, upon calming down, she considered that they were at Baisheng Media, under high-definition surveillance cameras. If they had a confrontation at Fu Shinuan’s company, who knows how it would be spun if they pulled the footage.

The movie hadn’t even started shooting, and issues were already cropping up, be it role disputes or arguments. For Ye Zhenzhen, it was more harmful than beneficial, literally all disadvantages with no single benefit.

Add to that, Fu Shinuan’s recent words weren’t directly aimed at anyone. If they were to go up and argue, it would be as if they were confirming the intended meaning of her words.

So, Ye Zhenzhen was right in holding Yu Lili back.

They couldn’t fall into the other party’s trap.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen silent and even stopping Yu Lili, Fu Shinuan suddenly laughed smugly, "Oh, starting to play the part already? Acting one way in front of others but differently behind their backs, truly eye-opening."

Yu Lili rolled her eyes towards the ceiling, "I wonder who is being referred to!"

Ye Zhenzhen pulled at Yu Lili again, smilingly asked, "Lili, if you were bitten by a mad dog while walking on the street, would you bite back?"

Yu Lili shook her head, "It’s just a mad dog. If I bite back, wouldn’t that make me a mad dog too?"

"Right, so the best solution is to find a stick and give it a good beating. Then it’ll remember not to do it again. Remember, don’t use your mouth—it’s dirty!"

Yu Lili held back her laughter, nodding repeatedly, "Got it, got it."

Fu Shinuan gritted her teeth in anger, "Ye Zhenzhen, you’re calling me a mad dog and want to beat me?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked innocent, "Beat you? If you insist, I can make the effort, though my hands might get a bit tired."

Fu Shinuan’s face was a picture of incredulous fury as she pointed her finger at Ye Zhenzhen’s nose, "Ye Zhenzhen, you... ah~"

Ye Zhenzhen promptly twisted the hand before her eyes aside, her expression full of innocence and confusion, "Oh, I just heard something—you telling me you’re a mad dog. Wow, such a noisy mad dog is truly a first for me."

Yu Lili stifled her laughter; when it came to verbal sparring, Sister Zhenzhen was in a league of her own!

Fu Shinuan’s face had turned an ashen blue.

All the anger within her channelling into the palm of her right hand, she lifted it to strike, but then she saw a group of people approaching from their direction.

"Pfft," as laughter intermingled with the sound of footsteps, Xiao Yi took the lead, beaming with the most joy.

Xia Zhi and Director Fei followed behind, both hiding smiles on their faces.

The faces around her were actually holding back their laughter, only Fu Shinuan’s face turned an angry shade of iron blue.

With so many people around, it wasn’t appropriate for her to make a scene, so all she could do was bite back her fury and wait for Ye Zhenzhen.

"Ding~" the elevator arrived.

In the moment that Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyes, she saw the tall figure of a man inside the elevator, along with Secretary Zhang behind him.

Secretary Zhang was the first to greet her, "Madam!"

Director Yang and others standing outside the elevator also greeted the man inside, one after another.

Song Jinze responded with a curt nod, his gaze, when it landed on Ye Zhenzhen, did not shift away any longer.

Immediately, his brow furrowed slightly, and he quickly removed the dark coat from his body and wrapped it around the woman.

"Why would you wear such thin clothes and come out?"

Ye Zhenzhen looked up into the man’s deep eyes, "This morning, a crazy dog dirtied the coat I was wearing, so I threw it away."

"What dog? Did it bite you?"

He asked sincerely, truly believing that she had been bitten by a dog.

The people following them onto the elevator: ...

"An insane dog with no fighting power, it’s nothing."

Fu Shinuan, upon hearing this, felt like her lungs were about to explode with anger, wanting to lash out but restraining herself due to Song Jinze’s presence, forcibly swallowing down her resentment.

Just you wait, Ye Zhenzhen, let’s see how long you can be smug.

...

In the parking lot, after bidding farewell to each other, Yu Lili and Liu Rui left in their separate cars.

Ye Zhenzhen got into Song Jinze’s car with him.

Inside the car, Ye Zhenzhen was pulled into the man’s embrace, and his warm breath followed, "Zhenzhen, about Lu Sangning, it was all a misunderstanding."

Song Jinze was the first to speak, his tone gentle and his attitude sincere.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the man’s tired handsome face and smiled, "Okay, I understand. Let’s go have dinner and then go home to rest well afterward."

The recording of Cheng Zheng that Su Xi sent mentioned that they indeed had an all-night international meeting the previous night.

This man had rushed back after finishing his work today and had made a point to clarify this matter, whether it was a misunderstanding no longer mattered, what was important was, whether she believed his explanation.

The man’s chin rested on her shoulder, his voice lazy, "I have a meeting at 8 tonight, I’ll accompany you for dinner, send you home, and then I’ll head back after I finish."

Ye Zhenzhen frowned slightly, raised her hands to cradle the man’s handsome face, and said a bit crossly, "Song Jinze, do you have a death wish? Didn’t you stay up all night yesterday? And you still have work tonight? Is your body made of iron? Or are you trying to die early and leave me a young widow?"

The words were out like spilled water, and in an instant, the car became terrifyingly quiet.

Ye Zhenzhen’s fair face suddenly turned red.

What on earth did she just say? What exactly did she say?

Secretary Zhang, who was driving, suddenly hesitated on the gas pedal and immediately tapped on the brakes to stop.

Fortunately, it was a red light up ahead.

It seemed that Madam had forgiven the President and wasn’t angry with him anymore?

His mission was accomplished!

Song Jinze’s deep pupils gleamed as his brows lightly lifted, then a smile with an unclear meaning spread across his handsome face.

He raised his hand to gently brush aside the hair covering the woman’s face, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly, "I apologize, I was inconsiderate and didn’t think about my wife’s..."
