Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 524: I love you" or "521

On the way back to Qingquan Villa, Ye Zhenzhen had received calls from both Director Yang and Da Mi.

Since there were too many people in the crew earlier, Director Yang found it difficult to have a private conversation with Ye Zhenzhen, so the phone was the best way to communicate.

Director Yang’s voice carried a hint of helplessness, "Zhenzhen, I hope you won’t take today’s incident to heart, after all, Fu Shinuan is backed by Baisheng..."

Director Yang didn’t finish his sentence, but even without saying it, Ye Zhenzhen understood.

The film’s main investor and distributor was Baisheng, and Fu Shinuan was the new talent Baisheng was currently strongly promoting. The vested interests in this, Director Yang Pinghui as the filmmaker, also felt helpless.

The only consolation was that the female lead wasn’t Fu Shinuan.

Ye Zhenzhen politely replied, "Director Yang, I already said those were misunderstandings, it’s all in the past, I naturally won’t dwell on it."

Fu Shinuan hadn’t picked a fight with her just for one day, and she didn’t have to endure this woman. It was indeed as Director Yang said, the other party was Baisheng’s person, and another point was, this woman was also Cheng Shaoqing’s girlfriend.

"Good," Yang Pinghui breathed a sigh of relief, "I’ll see you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Da Mi’s call also came in.

"Did you see the message I sent you?" Da Mi asked her first.

Ye Zhenzhen laughed lightly as she walked into the villa, "Mhm, how did you know about it?"

"With your popularity soaring lately, you keep hitting the trending searches, it’s hard for me not to know. Also, someone has been investigating you recently, with very sophisticated techniques. I couldn’t find out who it is, so be more careful these days."

Ye Zhenzhen paused for a moment, then teased with a laugh, "Even you can’t find out who it is? Then it seems this person really is quite formidable. A few days ago, I asked you to check on An Ying, could it possibly be her?"

An Ying and An Xi had been after her life during the variety show recording, and by some stroke of ill luck, Gu Liangjun ended up taking the hit for her.

On the other end of the phone, Da Mi snorted coldly, "I wouldn’t rule out that possibility. An Ying is indeed An Hao’s own sister who just returned from abroad. I’m positive that she came back just to make trouble for you. Besides, she even met with Lu Sangning today, and those two knew each other overseas."

Lu Sangning?

Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t help but laugh, thinking how all these people were somehow connected.

"And Qin Lang? Does he know An Ying, or does he know Lu Sangning?"

She truly couldn’t figure out how she had offended Qin Lang to the extent that he would recklessly stand up and join Fu Shinuan in slinging mud at her.

For a moment, she thought there might be something private between Fu Shinuan and Qin Lang, but on second thought, it seemed improbable, wasn’t Fu Shinuan Cheng Shaoqing’s girlfriend?

"An Ying."

Ye Zhenzhen chuckled coldly, "It seems this An Ying is really serious about getting me."

Indeed, it would be no easy feat to unite everyone around her without some real talent.

"I did a simple check on Qin Lang just now; he seems to have an illegitimate child. I’ve already hinted to his agent that you know about this."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

An illegitimate child?

"Qin Lang probably won’t dare to trouble you easily anymore, but still, be careful. After all, there are many witnesses in the crew."

"Okay, I got it, thanks."

The car had already entered the villa.

Da Mi: "What’s there to thank me for, I’m going abroad next week. If you have time, let’s have a meal together, and this time you’re not allowed to bring Song Jinze."

"..." Ye Zhenzhen chuckled, "Fine, you set the time and place."

After hanging up, Ye Zhenzhen said to Yu Lili, who was driving, "Lili, go home and pack your bags tonight, you’ll start staying over here from tomorrow."

"Ah?" Yu Lili turned her head towards Ye Zhenzhen, then quickly waved her hands and shook her head, "No, no, Sister Zhenzhen, I’ll still stay over by Hongshan..."

When she left in the morning, Aunt Li had instructed her to make sure she didn’t move into Qingquan Villa with the lady. The couple wanted their private world, and she should not disturb them.

"Your commute is too far every day..."

"Sister Zhenzhen, really, it’s unnecessary, I will wake up early every day on time, I won’t be late, don’t worry. It’s not convenient for me to move in, it would disturb you and President Song..."

Yu Lili smiled awkwardly, pushing aside her role as Sister Zhenzhen’s assistant, with her position in the Song family, there was still an insurmountable class difference between her and the lady and sir, how could she have the nerve to stay at the couple’s newlywed villa.

Even the servants here lived in a house next to the villa, not in the main house.

Seeing her firm gaze, Ye Zhenzhen didn’t insist and nodded, "Alright, I’ll have Liu Rui arrange a hotel room for you near the crew, be careful on your way back today."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Zhenzhen."

...

When Ye Zhenzhen entered the house, she did not see Song Jinze.

The servant asked her, "Madam, the dinner is ready, the master said a moment ago that you can dine first, he is in a meeting and it might take a while."

"Alright, I’m not hungry yet, I’ll eat later."

She had woken up early in the morning, and he had also gotten up early, saying he wanted to see her off, which she declined. After being so busy, he finally had a day off today, and she wanted him to actually rest a while.

But it turned out he could work from home just the same.

She took a shower and came out of their room, only to find that the man was still busy in his study. She went downstairs for a glass of water and poured another for him.

At the study door, she knocked.

"Come in."

Hearing the response from inside, she opened the door and entered.

The man sitting at the desk shifted his gaze from the computer to the woman, his austere dark eyes softening slightly, "Have you had dinner?"

The man’s tone was flat, his handsome face serene, his voice much like the one she had heard him use on the phone just before.

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, "Not yet, waiting for you to eat together."

Song Jinze took the glass of water from her hands, took a sip, then got up and led her by the hand downstairs.

"Don’t wait for me next time, eat by yourself first."

Ye Zhenzhen smiled, "If you’re not home, of course I wouldn’t wait for you. But when you are, it feels natural to have a meal together."

"Alright."

If this had been before, Ye Zhenzhen maybe wouldn’t have minded his indifferent response, but recently their interactions had clearly not been like this. She was somewhat baffled; what was going on with this man again?

During dinner, the man put her favorite dishes into her bowl, but he didn’t utter a word.

This ambiance continued until they both were lying in bed.

The man lay beside her and spoke in a muted voice, "Sleep now."

And then he really just fell asleep...

In that moment, Ye Zhenzhen was a bit dazed. Since calling him in the afternoon, something had seemed off, and then seeing him after returning home, it felt even stranger.

Her woman’s intuition told her that a problem had arisen between them.

Ye Zhenzhen turned in bed and noticed that the man was lying with his back to her. The words she wanted to say were stifled once more; his broad back was like a wall standing in her heart...
