Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 558 - 555

Chapter 558: 555

Ye Zhenzhen was experiencing a major traffic jam when she received a call from Song Jinze. She turned on the speaker and put the phone aside.

"Zhenzhen, have you picked up Xiao Chen?"

A man’s low and pleasant voice came from the other end of the line.

Xiao Chen was sitting in the back seat, eating the mini cake Ye Zhenzhen had brought for him. Hearing Song Jinze’s voice, he happily shouted, "Daddy, I asked Mommy to come pick me up!"

That morning, when going to school, the little guy refused the call from Grandpa who said he would come to pick him up after school. He wanted Mommy to come, wanting to be with both Mommy and Daddy.

The child’s cheerful and soft voice instantly filled the cramped space inside the car, and Ye Zhenzhen’s lips couldn’t help but curve up slightly, "Yes, have you finished work?"

They had contacted each other via WeChat during the day, but neither was replying instantly, either he was busy, or she was filming.

"Yes, finished work. What do you want to eat tonight? Let’s have dinner together," Song Jinze said as he stepped out of the elevator.

He thought she had finished shooting for the day, so after seeing the MMS picture sent from that strange number, he directly left work.

"Oh, that won’t do..."

— "Brother Jinze!"

Ye Zhenzhen’s faint smile froze on her face at the sound of the woman’s voice and the use of that title on the other end. Lu Sangning?

Song Yuchen’s small body also stiffened suddenly. The cake in his hand suddenly didn’t seem so tasty anymore. It was that bad woman, she had gone to find Daddy!

Daddy had said he would handle it, right? Why was that bad woman still showing up!

Secretary Zhang, who was following behind Song Jinze, immediately stepped in front of his boss to keep a distance between Lu Sangning and Song Jinze.

"Brother Jinze, I want to talk to you."

Meanwhile, Song Jinze’s call was still connected, and Ye Zhenzhen didn’t hear the man respond to anything.

The driver had already parked the car at the company’s entrance. Song Jinze got into the back seat of the car.

"Why won’t it work?" he asked through the phone.

"I have to take Xiao Chen to the set now. There are two more scenes to shoot. Haven’t you had dinner yet? Then you should go home and eat first."

If Xiao Chen was hungry, there was food on set, and as for her, she wasn’t hungry at the moment and didn’t want to eat.

"I’ll come to the set to find you guys."

Song Yuchen cheered from the back seat, "Great~ Daddy, I’ll wait for you at Mommy’s set~"

The little guy’s anger from a second ago vanished because Daddy wouldn’t be entangled by the bad woman, and he was coming to find him and Mommy, so he was very happy!

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t ask Song Jinze why Lu Sangning was still around him. She had faith in a thoughtful and intelligent adult man to handle his relationship with Lu Sangning on his own.

A few days ago, when Lu Sangning first appeared, she felt somewhat sensitive and uncertain. Now that she had been open with Song Jinze, she trusted him, so she didn’t ask and didn’t want to ask.

However, she felt she still needed to find time to meet that woman after the things Xiao Chen told her over the weekend. She couldn’t tolerate an adult using a child to interfere, affecting the child’s emotional well-being.

Song Jinze asked, "What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it to the set."

"Anything, anything’s fine."

"Okay."

With the call ended, Song Jinze looked up again to find Lu Sangning already standing by the car, "Brother Jinze, can we talk?"

Driver Xiao Li turned to explain to him, "President, this woman was just standing right in front..."

"It’s okay."

Song Jinze’s face remained stern as he pressed the button to roll down the window; the cold wind from outside immediately squeezed into the car, making the man’s handsome face even colder.

Lu Sangning pursed her lips, softening her eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile.

At least Brother Jinze hadn’t walked away directly; he was still willing to listen to her.

The next second, Song Jinze’s deep eyes glanced at Secretary Zhang standing behind Lu Sangning, "Secretary Zhang, get in the car."

Lu Sangning’s smile on her face stiffened, as she lifted her hand and nonchalantly ran her fingers through the hair that fell over her shoulders.

"Brother Jinze..."

Secretary Zhang stepped forward and opened the passenger door, interrupting Lu Sangning’s words.

Lu Sangning was still not giving up and placed her hand on the car window.

"Brother Jinze, Fu Shinuan is my friend. She might have been a bit impulsive and offended Zhenzhen, but directly having Tang Tianyou ban her, isn’t that a bit too inhumane?"

Secretary Zhang listened and frowned deeply. Did this woman even know what she was saying?

At such a time, she still came to their president to say these words. If it weren’t for the president considering the Lu Family, he probably would have had her banned along with her.

Song Jinze’s deep, ink-like eyes grew colder, "Are you done?"

He didn’t even glance at her and was about to roll up the car window.

"Brother Jinze!"

Lu Sangning shook her head, "Brother Jinze, I know you had President Li fire me to avoid any misunderstandings with Zhenzhen, but I haven’t really done anything, have I? As kids, I did play with my brother and the rest, right? Could Zhenzhen be upset about something like that?"

If it weren’t for Ye Zhenzhen, the person marrying into the Song family now would be her, Lu Sangning.

In Song Jinze’s eyes was nothing but chill indifference, "Lu Sangning, the only reason you can stand here and talk is because of your brother.

This is the last time. Don’t appear in front of me again, and don’t even think about causing any trouble for Zhenzhen. If you don’t heed this warning, you might as well boldly imagine the consequences."

He had no more to say, nor did he wish to continue this meaningless conversation with her.

Over the weekend, he sorted out Fu Shinuan and An Ying, and the only reason he spared Lu Sangning was out of consideration for the Lu Family.

"Brother Jinze, I... I didn’t..."

Lu Sangning tried to defend herself, but Song Jinze had no intention of listening anymore and had already signaled the driver to drive away.

*

The film set.

When Song Jinze arrived, Ye Zhenzhen had already finished shooting the first scene of the evening, and was currently holding a script, rehearsing lines with Shen Yibo, accompanied by Xiao Yi and Bai Lingshan.

The bustling staff members, seeing the tall figure approaching the set, greeted him politely before getting back to their own tasks.

"Daddy!"

Song Yuchen ran towards Song Jinze on his little legs.

Bai Lingshan exclaimed, "My God, Zhenzhen, your husband is so handsome!"

This was the first time Bai Lingshan had seen Song Jinze in person. As a member of the appearance association, she thought this man was just too perfect, with his tall stature and that serious yet indifferent handsome face, exuding an aura of aloofness and asceticism.

Xiao Yi glanced at Bai Lingshan’s lovesick expression and raised his eyebrows high, "Handsome, huh?"

"Handsome, very handsome!"

The young girl didn’t care and with her two words managed to awaken the dormant childish soul in the man’s heart.

Shen Yibo joined in, "Xiao Chen’s dad really is very handsome, but, he seems a bit fierce."

He felt a bit scared.

"Pfft~"

Ye Zhenzhen was amused by the little guy’s candid demeanor and tone.

As Song Jinze approached with Xiao Chen, he took Ye Zhenzhen’s hand and asked her, "What are you laughing about? You seem so happy."

Xiao Yi: "Laughing at how you’re not as handsome as me, and also very fierce."
