Chapter 572 - 569 A Joke!

Chapter 572: Chapter 569 A Joke!

On the other side, when Lu Sangning found the film crew, she happened to see Yu Lili leading Xiao Chen, seemingly about to walk to the car.

"Xiao Chen!" she quickly called out.

"Miss Lu, what are you doing here?"

Yu Lili grew up in the Song family from a young age and was an old acquaintance of Lu Sangning. She was well aware of the scandals that woman had recently stirred up with her husband.

As Ye Zhenzhen’s assistant, her tone towards Lu Sangning was far from friendly.

Lu Sangning did not answer Yu Lili; in her eyes, Yu Lili was just a servant’s daughter and had no right to speak to her.

She squatted down in front of Xiao Chen and raised her hand to pinch his tender cheeks, but the little guy swiftly dodged.

"Xiao Chen, where’s your stepmother?" She was not annoyed and still wore a smile on her face.

Last night, she had asked Lu Wen to arrange a meeting with Song Jinze but failed, which had thrown her whole plan into disarray. After thinking it over all night, she felt she still needed to see Ye Zhenzhen.

"Bad woman!"

Lu Sangning’s smile froze on her face, "You... Are you talking about me?"

Song Yuchen looked defiant and glared at Lu Sangning fiercely, "Ye Zhenzhen is my real mom; she is my mother. You’re a bad woman, go away!"

Song Yuchen was now very resistant to anyone mentioning ’stepmother,’ especially coming from the mouth of a bad woman like Lu Sangning.

"Sister, let’s go."

Song Yuchen took Yu Lili’s hand, heading for the car, but Lu Sangning grabbed him, "Xiao Chen!"

"Your mother... isn’t Ye Zhenzhen, both your mother and your father..."

—"Miss Lu!"

"Mommy!"

As soon as Song Yuchen saw Ye Zhenzhen, he immediately toddled toward her.

When Ye Zhenzhen picked up Song Yuchen, the little one leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Mommy, let’s go quickly and don’t pay attention to that bad woman."

"Okay."

Ye Zhenzhen’s cool gaze fell on Lu Sangning’s face, then she turned to Yu Lili, "Lili, you take Xiao Chen to eat something first, I’ll come in a bit."

Song Yuchen shook his head, "Mommy, I want you to go with us."

"Mommy needs to talk to Miss Lu alone for a moment; I’ll come over to find you soon, okay?"

Yu Lili also tried to persuade Song Yuchen, but the little guy looked at Ye Zhenzhen with big, hopeful eyes. He was worried his mom might get hurt...

As if seeing through his concerns, Ye Zhenzhen held him and smiled tenderly and lovingly, "Don’t worry, go on, Mommy will come to find you shortly."

"Mommy, if you’re in danger, you must contact us right away."

"I won’t be."

Who might be in danger was still up in the air.

After Yu Lili and Xiao Chen had left, Lu Sangning began coolly, "Ye Zhenzhen, let’s have a talk."

"Sure."

Ye Zhenzhen looked around; they were in the film crew’s parking lot, which seemed deserted, but she worried about being secretly photographed later on, turned around and said, "Follow me."

She led the person into her own makeup room.

Closed the door, locked it.

Lu Sangning turned around and saw that Ye Zhenzhen’s expression had completely changed from before, now looking very stern.

"Ye Zhenzhen, you..."

No sooner had Lu Sangning opened her mouth than her left cheek was firmly slapped.

"What gives you the right to slap me!"

Following her question, another slap landed on Lu Sangning’s face.

In a daze, Lu Sangning was stunned by these sudden slaps; when she came to her senses and tried to fight back, she was shoved away by Ye Zhenzhen, stumbling backward two steps before collapsing onto the ground.

Lu Sangning never expected that she, who had planned to make Ye Zhenzhen’s life unpleasant, would end up being slapped without a word of warning.

Since childhood, as a pampered daughter of the Lu Family, no one had ever dared to slap her!

Looking down from above, Ye Zhenzhen said, "On what grounds do I slap you? Because you’ve tried time and again to destroy my family, because of the lowly tactics you resorted to last night, and because today you even came to my set to harass me and my son.

Is that reason enough for you? If it isn’t, we can discuss the specifics."

When the incident from last night was mentioned, Lu Sangning’s heartbeat skipped, and her momentum weakened significantly.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about..."

Last night’s rendezvous was with Xiao Yi, not Song Jinze, what a pity!

If it had been Song Jinze... then today’s situation might have changed completely.

Ye Zhenzhen sat down on a nearby chair, her gaze filled with scorn, "Really? You don’t know?"

"Ye Zhenzhen, you’re just a minor star, relying on unsavory methods to win the hearts of children, and by doing so, ingratiating yourself with Brother Jinze. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re after!

Xiao Chen calls you ’mom’; do you think you’re worthy?"

Lu Sangning got up from the ground, glaring at Ye Zhenzhen with uncontrollable rage.

A mix of regret and resentment filled her chest; if she hadn’t hesitated back then, it would never have come to Ye Zhenzhen snatching her man.

Brother Jinze?

Ye Zhenzhen laughed.

She laughed because the slaps she had given the other woman had been rather light.

"What did you just want to tell my son? About his parentage? That you’re his real mother? Do you think your existence is important?

I’m sorry, but as far as your presence is concerned, we all just see it as a joke."

She didn’t say ’I’; she said ’we’.

"You speak so sharply and rudely; you have no manners. You will be kicked out of the Song family sooner or later."

To Lu Sangning’s surprise, Ye Zhenzhen seemed to already know that Song Yuchen was not Song Jinze’s son.

Moreover, she didn’t expect that Ye Zhenzhen was unconcerned about Xiao Chen’s parentage, that she was content to raise another’s child?

Glancing at the time, Ye Zhenzhen, unwilling to waste words, stood up and sneered, "Whether or not I will be thrown out of the Song family is none of your concern. You better think about how you’re going to clean up the mess you made last night.

And just so you know, I always speak like this. A person with self-respect might feel hurt, but you, it seems, have none."

That evening, Lu Wen looked at the sea of green on his phone’s overseas stock market application and cursed at Lu Sangning, "I think your brain must be completely flooded. Haven’t you known since childhood what kind of person Song Jinze is?"

"Drugging someone’s drink? Whose vile tactics did you learn to belittle yourself and bring shame upon the entire Lu Family?"

"Do you think you’re the smartest in the world? The best? That everything you want, every person you like has to be yours?"

Lu Sangning, huddled on the couch, responded with resentment, "You’re blaming me now? If it wasn’t for you saying you didn’t want to raise Zhou Ziyi’s child, would I have asked dad to reject Uncle Song’s proposal for a marriage alliance?"

"You listen to everything I say? Fine then, now I’m telling you to leave with me, go home!"

Lu Sangning shook her head, "I won’t!"

"You won’t?"

Lu Wen recalled what Song Jinze told him on the tennis court that day: The days of the Lu Family are too comfortable!

At that moment, Lu Wen’s blood pressure skyrocketed, and he threw the phone at Lu Sangning, "Take a look for yourself!"
