Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 570 - 567

Feige swiped his card to enter Xiao Yi’s room to deliver breakfast. When he approached the bedroom, he noticed the bed was neatly made, just like last night, and he suddenly was startled, "No way..."

Before he could express his surprise, Xiao Yi came in swiping his card.

The two grown men stood in the living room, eye to eye. Feige pointed at the bedroom, "You and Bai Lingshan have progressed to this point?"

Xiao Yi’s face darkened, "What?"

"You..."

As Feige asked Xiao Yi again, he leaned in to take a closer look at him, noticing that he seemed to have recovered.

"Did the fever go down?"

Xiao Yi glanced at the medicine box on the table and said wordlessly, "Did you buy this medicine last night?"

Fever medicine.

"Yeah, I ran to the drugstore to buy the medicine and came back to find you, only to discover that you were on a date with Bai Lingshan. I thought you two were secretly in love, so I didn’t disturb you..."

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but laugh at his words, "Have you got love on the brain lately? You think everyone is in love."

Feige: ...

After sitting down, Xiao Yi briefly recounted what had happened last night...

Feige looked incredulous and cursed angrily, "Damn it, that’s just not human!"

Last night, he really thought Bai Lingshan and Xiao Yi were in a secret romance. After all, soon after Fu Shinuan was taken away, Bai Lingshan was directly parachuted into the cast. Before that, he had even heard Xiao Yi say that partnering with Fu Shinuan was not as good as with Bai Lingshan.

He also thought that Bai Lingshan’s joining the cast was related to Xiao Yi.

Moreover, Xiao Yi was always saying one thing and meaning another. Even if he rejected Bai Lingshan in the cast, he still took care of her in small daily matters.

So, seeing Xiao Yi feeling unwell and looking for Bai Lingshan, he was quite happy, at least Xiao Yi wouldn’t be said to have entanglements with Ye Zhenzhen, and he had a normal romance of his own.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi had been... drugged!

Look how stupid he was, going to buy fever medicine!

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I was careless!"

"Last night, I went to look at the surveillance footage at the front desk. I thought you were secretly dating Bai Lingshan behind my back..."

Xiao Yi’s lips twitched slightly, "Alright, you can’t blame yourself for this."

"Does Bai Lingshan know about this? What are you going to do with her later? Pay her off or give her a script?"

"She doesn’t know I was drugged, thinks I was x after getting drunk. She said..."

He recalled the response Bai Lingshan gave him before leaving;

[I don’t need you to take responsibility, we’re both consenting adults. You bumped into me while you were drunk, and I was willing. There’s no question of who should be responsible to whom. Although I would love to use this to make you my boyfriend, it seems a bit too much.

However, I do hope you will give us both a chance to understand each other better. If after this movie is finished, you still have no feelings for me, we can pretend that last night never happened, is that okay?]

Feige waved his hand in front of Xiao Yi’s eyes, "Hey~ what are you laughing at? What else did she say?"

Xiao Yi came back to his senses and straightened his slightly curved lips, saying seriously, "She said to keep this a secret."

"So, are you going to pay her or give her resources?"

Xiao Yi frowned, "Can’t it be me as a person?"

Feige: ...

Damn!

"Hey, no, do you even know what you’re saying? You don’t even like her. You can’t just because of last night... let yourself be kidnapped by both morals and physicality!"

"She didn’t kidnap me, I wronged her."

In fact, Xiao Yi felt a slight relief in his heart, thank goodness the girl he bumped into when the elevator door opened was Bai Lingshan. Had it been someone else, with his unconscious state at the time, if afterwards someone took advantage of the situation for blackmail, that would be the real trouble...

"What about the person who drugged you? Want me to find some people..."

Xiao Yi stood up, his lips curling into a cold sneer. "No need, no matter how many people you find, no one will be as useful as the Song family’s."

Feige: ...

Oh, right, Xiao Yi and President Song are close brothers!

Ye Zhenzhen was filming with Shen Yibo and Bai Lingshan, while Xiao Chen sat next to Director Yang, staring intently at the monitor with furrowed brows.

Shen Yibo really knows how to act spoiled!

Seeing Shen Yibo and Ye Zhenzhen interact, Song Yuchen felt even more wronged. When he got up this morning, his mom had already rushed to the set, and he hadn’t even had breakfast with her. And now he had to watch with his own eyes as his mom coaxed Shen Yibo into eating.

The most heartbreaking thing in the world has to be watching your mom eat breakfast with another kid, a breakfast you can’t eat!

In a luxury car on the other side.

Regarding what happened last night, Xiao Yi naturally sought out Song Jinze to deal with the Lu siblings, believing that the best results could be achieved only with Song Jinze’s involvement.

After learning the whole story, Song Jinze’s deep eyes shimmered with a chilly light. Holding his phone, he commanded the person on the other end, "Bring Lu Wen to see me in 20 minutes."

Xiao Yi played with the pompom keychain in his hand, still wearing an air of nonchalance. "I have to film in a bit, so I won’t be there."

His tone changed abruptly as Xiao Yi turned to smile at Song Jinze, sycophantic and innocent. "Big brother~"

Secretary Zhang, sitting in the driver’s seat, was caught off guard by this brotherly call, coughing violently twice.

At this time, he should be under the car, not inside it!

Just thinking, why didn’t the president let him get out earlier, is it too late to get out now?

Song Jinze’s brow furrowed suddenly, and he said sternly, "Speak properly, goddammit."

"Big brother~ I went through so much trouble for you, don’t you think you should make it up to me?"

Secretary Zhang: Who would have thought that the aloof and handsome Best Actor Xiao on the big screen could be so obsequious and coquettish in the car with their president.

He wasn’t sure if such methods would work on their president, but if they did...

The annual assessment was coming up, could he perhaps discuss his year-end bonus with the president in a different way?

"What do you want?"

Seeing Song Jinze agree so readily, Xiao Yi immediately said, "Give me Nanfeng Island."

"No, pick something else," Song Jinze refused coldly.

"What else is there? Whatever you have, I have too."

Except for Nanfeng Island and Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen was a no-go, but he really did want Nanfeng Island. He had planned its use when it was up for sale, but before he could get all the information, he was informed it had already been sold.

The buyer was Song Jinze.

"You can think it over, let me know when you’ve decided."

Xiao Yi: "No need to think it over, just Nanfeng Island. Big brother~ just give it to me!"

Secretary Zhang: ...

Although he had seen Best Actor Xiao act spoiled towards their president on variety shows before, witnessing it live today seemed to give him some insight into the essence of it.

Cough cough...

"Behave, think of something else."

Xiao Yi grew anxious and dropped the act, "Tell me, what the hell do you need that deserted island for? You’re raising the kid, and the wife... you took her first too. What exactly is that deserted island good for to you?"

"Are you done? If you’re done, get out.

Secretary Zhang, drive."
