Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 32 - Changing Rooms

“Mommy, didn’t you say two days ago…”

Han Jiangxue interrupted him in time, “Yes, I remember. Be good, okay? I’ll keep my promise to you.”

There was a camera nearby, so if Shen Yibo were to say anything more, she would really be worried.

Everything else was secondary. She was mainly afraid that Shen Zhaonan would see it.

Shen Zhaonan didn’t know that she was the one who had bought all of Shen Yibo’s snacks.

As for Shen Yibo’s claim that she had bought the chocolates, she could naturally find a good excuse for that. She could just say that her friend had bought them for the child, but the servant had no idea and had told the child that she had bought them instead.

Thinking that there would still be snacks waiting for him, Shen Yibo cheered up, “Alright then, I’ll be good, Mommy.”

After returning to the courtyard, Han Jiangxue carried Shen Yibo back to the room to rest. She still had to brew medicine for him.

Ye Zhenzhen asked Baby Chen to play with Baby Yiyi while she helped Xu Wanjia clean the bowls that had been used for dinner.

Lin Qianqian and Wu Yuerou, who hadn’t appeared at all, were busy changing rooms.

During the day, Wu Yuerou had secretly called An Hao, and this time the phone call went through. Wu Yuerou told An Hao about her wish to switch rooms, and also complained about Director Fei, accusing him of targeting her as he refused to switch rooms for her.

When An Hao found out that Wu Yuerou wanted the room where Yang Honghui’s wife and daughter were staying, he rejected her unreasonable request without hesitation and praised Director Fei for doing the right thing.

After all, Yang Honghui was a well-known director in the industry. Not to mention people rushing over to curry favor with him, many respected him. As the CEO of the TV station, An Hao naturally would not offend the family of a famous director just because his wife and child wanted a room.

Seeing that there was no chance of switching rooms with Xu Wanjia, Wu Yuerou used An Ruilin as an excuse. She said that her son couldn’t sleep at night in a room facing north, making him dazed during the day.

Because An Hao had been “active” outside for the past few nights, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of “benevolent fatherly love” when he thought of his precious son.

In the end, he turned his target to Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian and her husband, Fang Siyuan, were both actors in the industry. Although they were famous and capable, they weren’t particularly famous, so they were easier to control.

Lin Qianqian and Fang Siyuan were about to star in a TV drama called Buddist. The drama was adapted from a novel, and the copyright had been bought by Lemon TV. The director of the drama was very close to An Hao, so he could be considered to have grasped Lin Qianqian’s lifeline.

To be honest, Wu Yuerou did not want Lin Qianqian’s room. She would rather have Ye Zhenzhen’s.

Although Wu Yuerou was not afraid of offending Ye Zhenzhen and even wanted to take advantage of her, she did not think that she would be able to gain an advantage when she thought about the other party’s sharp tongue.

Now that Lin Qianqian had been offered, she was naturally happy to accept it.

After Lin Qianqian heard the news of the change of rooms from the program team, although she felt wronged and unwilling, it wasn’t the first time Wu Yuerou had used An Hao’s power to snatch resources in the entertainment industry.

The drama, Buddist, had a rare good script. If she or Fang Siyuan were kicked off set because of a room, their advancement to become A-list actors would slow down.

Between the future of their family and the living environment for the next few nights, Lin Qianqian naturally had to choose the former.

However, just as she was done moving the things and unpacking, Fang Xiaoyu started sobbing softly, “Mommy, I don’t like this room. I don’t want to change rooms with An Ruilin either.”

She didn’t understand why she had to change to this small room when she had been living in a good room before.

[That’s right. Why do they have to change rooms?]

[Ye Zhenzhen was called away by the assistant just now. Lin Qianqian and Wu Yuerou were also called away.]

[If you ask me, what else could it be? What other normal methods could a person like Wu Yuerou have? She must have relied on her husband.]

[Report! Using power for personal gain!]

[Previous commenter, don’t talk nonsense. How would you know what they did? There must be evidence to make such claims.]

Earlier, Fang Xiaoyu had been quiet, so Lin Qianqian had overlooked her daughter. Now that she was asked this question, Lin Qianqian sighed deeply in her heart and did not know how to answer.

Lin Qianqian put down the clothes that she was about to fold and walked over to carry Fang Xiaoyu around the yard.

“Xiaoyu, be good. The rooms here are all very nice. We just need them to sleep at night. Mommy will accompany you. Let’s not cry, okay?”

She didn’t want to talk about the changing of the rooms. Even if there was no live broadcast, she couldn’t tell her daughter the truth.

This was how the industry worked. There were plenty of people who had abilities but no resources, and there were also many who had resources but no ability, as well as countless who had nothing but power and influence. The worst was actors like them who had abilities but no resources and were not very popular.

The reality was too cruel. Fang Xiaoyu was still young and could not understand even if she explained. She could not bear to let her child see the dangers of this industry too early.

Sob! Mommy, I don’t want to sleep in there! It smells! It stinks!” Fang Xiaoyu’s sobs had turned into wails.

Ye Zhenzhen and Xu Wanjia came over to ask about the situation after cleaning up the dishes.

Lin Qianqian said simply, “It’s okay. It’s inevitable for children to cry. It’s just that she changed rooms with Brother Ruilin and can’t accept it at the moment.”

Xu Wanjia glanced at Lin Qianqian’s room. The door was closed, and Wu Yuerou and An Ruilin’s laughter could be heard from inside.

She recalled the scene when Wu Yuerou asked her to change rooms yesterday and naturally understood what was going on.

Xu Wanjia picked up the oranges on the table and tried to cheer Fang Xiaoyu up, “Xiaoyu, be good. Auntie will peel oranges for you, okay? Didn’t you say that these oranges were delicious yesterday? Today, Auntie Zhenzhen and I brought back a lot. Do you want to eat them?”

“No, no! I don’t want anything!” Fang Xiaoyu’s big black eyes were red from crying, and she was on the verge of breaking down.
