Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 535 - 532 (pre-dawn~)

Chapter 535: 532 (pre-dawn~)

Ye Zhenzhen had absolutely no intention of joking with him, "Maybe when I say other things you seem to have a hard time understanding, so I’ll put it in simple terms that are easy to understand, ’Don’t let well water interfere with river water,’ can you grasp that?"

As her words ended, her expression immediately darkened, and she warned in a low voice, "Qin Lang, just play your part well and don’t mess with me!"

Whether Qin Lang knew An Ying or Lu Sangning, based on the chips she knew at the moment, she didn’t believe he had the qualifications to mess with her.

Having secretly had a child and not properly earning money to support the child, but instead hopping around in front of her all the time, wasn’t this just asking for trouble?

Qin Lang watched Ye Zhenzhen’s retreating back, pondering over that phrase she had just said, ’Don’t let well water interfere with river water...’

Suddenly, he burst into laughter.

Fu Shinuan leaned in, "Why are you laughing at the sight of her back? Don’t tell me you’re..."

"Don’t spout nonsense."

Fu Shinuan didn’t listen and continued, "I’m saying, you’re not thinking of some crafty scheme again, are you? Don’t worry, this time I’ll definitely cooperate with you well..."

Qin Lang: ...

"Where did you find that acting teacher? Seems like they’re quite effective."

He decided to divert the topic directly.

Hearing her acting skills finally being praised, Fu Shinuan’s face revealed a touch of pride, "Of course, the teacher from Jiang Drama Academy said I have a lot of talent."

"Right, just focus on the acting, don’t think about all that messy stuff. If you NG fewer times, I can finish work earlier."

"..."

The day’s filming ended later than the previous days, and Ye Zhenzhen had been too busy to check her phone all afternoon. It was only when she picked it up that she saw the messages.

If not for Da Mi sending a WeChat message saying she was already at the restaurant, Ye Zhenzhen would have almost forgotten about her dinner plans with Da Mi tonight.

What’s up with this darn man, though?

Unprecedentedly, he had sent more WeChat messages today than on any other day, plus there were two missed calls.

After packing her stuff, Yu Lili said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Sister Zhenzhen, the gentleman said to give him a call once you’re done with your work. He couldn’t reach you just now and called my phone instead. I told him you were still filming."

"Okay."

Ye Zhenzhen put her phone back in her bag. She couldn’t make the call now. After the call, he would ask where she was going, and with whom she was going to have dinner.

Da Mi had said not to bring along this darn man.

However, on her way to the restaurant, Ye Zhenzhen received another call from Song Jinze.

Seeing that she answered quickly, he asked, "Have you finished shooting?"

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the traffic ahead that was about to get congested and lied casually, "No, because I went to look for you this morning, my shooting schedule got delayed, and now I have to work overtime. I guess I’ll be back late."

There was a moment of silence on the phone, but Ye Zhenzhen could hear the sound of the man’s footsteps.

"Have you eaten dinner?"

"I’m going to eat soon. What about you? When will you return home?"

Song Jinze’s lips curled slightly, "Do you want me to come back early?"

"No."

"No?"

Ye Zhenzhen immediately said, "No, I mean, just focus on your work. I’m quite busy today too, and I’ll return very late."

"Then I’ll pick you up later."

It was still her familiar, domineering tone that brooked no refusal.

Ye Zhenzhen thought of the footstep sounds she had just heard and assumed the man was ready to leave work, so she said anxiously, "No, Song Jinze, you’re a CEO who was too busy to sleep just a few days ago. How come you are so free today?

You sent me so many messages this afternoon, and I won’t run away. You do your work, and I will come home myself after I’m done here."

After speaking, noticing that there was no response from the other end of the phone, she added, "I’m hanging up."

Song Jinze looked at the phone after being hung up on, with a smile of helplessness tugging at the corner of his lips. Won’t run away?

If she won’t run away, that’s good enough.

When Song Jinze returned to the conference room again, everyone keenly sensed that their CEO’s expression was much more relaxed than before.

Secretary Zhang was somewhat puzzled by the day’s events.

After Mrs. left the company, the CEO had clearly told him that his wife was not what they had mistakenly assumed and that there was nothing wrong with her.

However, throughout the day, his expression remained frighteningly gloomy.

Other employees, completely in the dark, speculated among themselves, "Has the CEO been arguing with the First Lady recently? That’s why he’s been in a bad mood every day."

"Then, the First Lady came to the company in the morning to have a big fight with the CEO, otherwise, how could the CEO, who is usually happy to see Mrs., look even scarier than yesterday?"

Some even speculated more boldly, "Is it possible that the couple didn’t stay in the same house last night, which is why the First Lady came to the company to confront the CEO early in the morning."

Someone agreed, "I think this guess is quite logical. Then, after seeing each other in the morning, they didn’t come to an agreement and continued to argue."

Therefore, the CEO’s mood was even worse today!

Everyone had their reasons for such speculations.

Ever since Ye Zhenzhen left Song Jinze’s office in the morning, the man had been somewhat restless all day. Although he knew the chances of his wife disappearing were slim, he felt that it was not entirely impossible either.

So, he was very worried.

As a result, throughout the day, he would send her messages at intervals, and with each unanswered message, his face grew a few shades darker...

At this moment, seeing the CEO’s expression finally shift from gloom to his usual cold indifference, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the CEO and his wife had likely made up.

It was good that they had reconciled; it would make everyone’s time in meetings much more bearable.

However, the relief that people had just started to feel was shattered an hour later by the resurgence of recent hot searches involving Ye Zhenzhen;

#Ye Zhenzhen’s Late-Night Hotel Rendezvous#

#Who is the Man Dining with Ye Zhenzhen?#

These two trending topics came with several pictures and explanatory text, which, when pieced together, implied;

[Ye Zhenzhen went alone to Dihao Hotel late last night for a secret meeting with a mystery man. The next morning, her husband Song Jinze personally drove to the hotel to confront the man. After Ye Zhenzhen realized the affair was exposed, she went to explain to President Song, and after a huge fight, she gave up and continued to have dinner with the mystery man tonight.]

There were photos and described explanations; even the employees at Huanya felt like they suddenly understood everything.

Oh, so that’s how it is!

[Here we go again, the paparazzi are starting to make wild guesses, it’s endless, isn’t it.]

[My goodness, President Song personally went to confront someone at the hotel??? Could this be too stimulating?]

[Ye Jianjian’s romantic scandals are endless, can President Song really tolerate this? How can he not divorce a woman like that?]

[No matter what you write or say, I will always believe in my Sister Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen stay strong!]
