Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 541 - 538

Chapter 541: 538

After a day of shooting, Ye Zhenzhen called Su Xi, but her phone was turned off.

Yu Lili draped a down jacket over her, "Sister Zhenzhen, where are you going for dinner tonight? I’ll take you there."

"I need to stop by home first; you go on home and rest."

She’d drive over to Su Xi as soon as she got hold of her.

Ye Zhenzhen thought that if her phone was off at this hour, it was either out of power or she was busy with something important.

"It’s still early; I’d rather wait and take you..."

As they spoke, a commotion came from not far away.

In the twilight, the man approached with a tall and upright figure, his aura commanding, taking long strides towards them. The gossipy crew members, upon seeing Song Jinze, started murmuring guiltily to one another;

"Wasn’t it said that they were close to divorcing over some White Moonlight or whatever? How come President Song is personally coming to the film set now?"

"Would the big CEO personally come to pick someone up from the set if they were getting a divorce?"

"I’m sick of saying I’m envious. This woman is unbelievable, a true winner in life, having everything. Even amid the whirlwind of public opinion, her deeply loving CEO husband still comes to personally coax her..."

Ye Zhenzhen watched the approaching man, a smile spreading from the bottom of her heart, and after quickly figuring out her approach, she threw her arms open and lunged at the man, "Husband~"

This call of "husband" was anything but low-key; everyone around who could see them heard it.

Envy and jealousy were all too apparent in their eyes.

Keep in mind, Ye Zhenzhen’s affectionate target was none other than Jiangcheng’s handsomest and wealthiest man, Song Jinze!

Song Jinze naturally wrapped the woman into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Are you that happy?"

His words seemed to express the emotions in his own heart.

"Mhm, having President Song personally come to the set to take me home, how could I not be happy?"

Her words were not at all false.

However, the hot search comments were varied, and although she couldn’t be bothered to clarify them, since the man had come in person, of course, she was willing to do her part to extract herself from the maelstrom of public opinion.

A doting smile appeared on Song Jinze’s handsome face. He gently straightened the woman’s clothes in his arms and then, taking her hand tenderly, he said, "Let’s go as soon as you’re done."

"Okay."

Behind them, the sound of various camera clicks filled the air, with Yu Lili leading in taking the most photos.

She would post these pictures online soon and see what those haters would make of them now.

...

Song Jinze drove the car to Dihao Hotel.

Thinking he was picking up Su Xi, Ye Zhenzhen called her again, still getting the message that the phone was turned off.

She turned her head to the man in the driver’s seat, "Su Xi’s phone has been off the whole time. You met with her today, didn’t you? Is she at the hotel now?"

Song Jinze glanced at her sidelong and said faintly, "She’s gone back to Jincheng."

Ye Zhenzhen was quite surprised, "Gone back to Jincheng?"

"Yeah, we met this afternoon. She specifically asked me to tell you that. This, she sent it to us."

Ye Zhenzhen took the room card the man handed her, at a loss for words.

"Is there anything you’d like to eat?" he asked her.

"Anything is fine, or we could eat at home."

With Su Xi gone from Jiangcheng and having left a room card, Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t really stay at the hotel with Song Jinze, could she?

Just the previous night, her stay there had already caused a commotion. If Song Jinze also checked in, there’s no telling what sort of odd trending search terms would appear.

Based on her experience, the current messy online comments would probably disappear, but the new topic would surely involve Dihao Hotel and Huanya Hotel.

After all, this man was the head of Huanya Group, wasn’t he?

"Traffic tends to be heavy around this time on the way home. If you don’t have anything particular in mind to eat, let’s just dine here. We shouldn’t waste President Su’s kind gesture. Cheng Zheng mentioned before that the beds here are more comfortable than those at Huanya’s, so let’s give it a try tonight."

Ye Zhenzhen furrowed her brows, "Don’t you have your own hotel? Staying at someone else’s hotel, wouldn’t that be inappropriate? Could it affect the company’s stock?"

"Tsk," Song Jinze chuckled softly, "Mrs. Song is indeed smart, well-suited for business."

"I’m being serious."

Who was joking with him.

Song Jinze raised his hand and gently stroked her head, explaining in a soft voice, "The hotel is outwardly owned by the Cheng family, but it was originally built by Huanya, and I invested in it, holding a 20% stake."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

How much money exactly did Song Jinze have, she felt like she knew nothing.

That night, Ye Zhenzhen and Song Jinze stayed in the presidential suite on the top floor of Dihao Hotel.

It’s just that the hot topics on Weibo had changed.

Previously, the comments revolved around keywords like Ye Zhenzhen’s secretive meeting with a mystery man in a hotel, and possible marital troubles with President Song, but now they had turned into:

#SongJinzeChecksIntoDihaoWithWife#

#WhichHotelIsMoreComfortableDihaoOrHuanya#

[To leave such a grand manor and not stay there, and also not to stay at their own hotel but instead at someone else’s, it must be said that rich people really know how to live it up!]

[So, is Sister Zhenzhen staying at Dihao Hotel with President Song these past few days?]

[It’s all hype, a smokescreen, don’t you understand, you ignorant people. I bet you, before the New Year, Ye Zhenzhen will definitely announce divorce news]

[President Song personally picked up his wife from the set today, can you all just stop begrudging them their happiness? Besides, whether Sister Zhenzhen divorces or not is none of your business]

[I mean, is the bed in Dihao Hotel more comfortable than the ones in Huanya? Is that why the CEO is taking his wife to sleep at Dihao Hotel?]

[I’m going to try it out myself, go stay at both hotels and see which one has the more comfortable bed!]

As for Ye Zhenzhen, she didn’t know whether the beds at Huanya Hotel were comfortable.

But this bed at Dihao Hotel, she found it extremely uncomfortable...

...

At the Song Family Villa.

After tucking Xiao Chen into bed, Song Wenbai received a call from Lu Sangning.

"Uncle Song, I... I don’t even know... what to do now..."

On the other end of the line, Lu Sangning’s crying was so intense she couldn’t even complete her sentences, causing Song Wenbai to furrow his brows. He asked, "Sangning, what’s wrong? If there’s something bothering you, just speak up. With Uncle Song behind you, there’s nothing to fear!"

Lu Sangning sobbed for a good while before managing to speak through her tears, "Uncle Song, I... I don’t know what I did wrong. I’ve been avoiding Brother Jinze as much as I can, but... but I still ended up losing my job..."

Because of Zhiyuan’s collaboration with Huanya, she was now suspended from her company.

All the plans she had upon returning to the country fell apart in an instant. Now, it wasn’t just about developing a relationship with Song Jinze, seeing him at all became difficult.

In such a mess, she didn’t even understand the purpose of her return anymore.

Song Wenbai was puzzled, "How did you lose your job? Didn’t you say your company had dealings with Huanya? Wouldn’t they at least show some respect to the Song family?"

"Uncle Song, actually... I don’t even know how to explain this, our boss said it was the client’s wishes. I believe Brother Jinze didn’t do this on purpose. After all, considering our childhood relationship, he wouldn’t go that far..."

"You don’t need to say anymore, I know who it is!"
