Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 571 - 569

Tennis court.

When Lu Wen saw Song Jinze, his face was still full of smiles, and his words were filled with the joy of old friends meeting, "I thought President Song, the busy man, wasn’t planning to see..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the ball from Song Jinze’s side smashed towards him.

He hadn’t even processed what was happening when the green tennis ball bounced off the ground and then viciously hit him in the waist.

He let out a pained grunt and staggered several steps backward.

Lu Wen was about to say something, but when he looked up and saw the dark, handsome face of the man opposite him, he lightly curled his lips, "After such a long time, is this the welcome gift you’re giving me, President Song?"

Since childhood, Song Jinze had been extremely talented in sports. Lu Wen thought he was good at tennis, but every time, he still lost to Song Jinze.

This time he wanted to arrange a game on the court after many years of not playing together, thinking it was for the sake of catching up, but now, it seemed that was not the case.

"A welcome gift? Then you better catch it well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jinze hit several balls in a row towards Lu Wen.

Although Lu Wen kept dodging, he couldn’t match the speed and strength of the balls sent by Song Jinze.

After several vicious hits, Lu Wen was sweating coldly, He casually threw away the racket in his hand and collapsed onto the ground begging for mercy, "President Song, I surrender, surrender. I’m unworthy of your welcome gift, please, have mercy..."

Even now, Lu Wen’s mind was confused; he couldn’t understand why Song Jinze was hitting him with the balls. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Jinze, I came back to the country just hoping to see you, are you trying to kill me outright?"

Song Jinze’s long eyes were cold, and his thin lips carried a sneer, "See me? Waiting for me to come over and then drug my drink?"

"Drugged... the drink?" Lu Wen’s expression instantly darkened, and the shallow smile on his face dissipated completely.

Last night, Song Jinze didn’t go, and indeed Xiao Yi did drink a glass, but he would never have thought to drug that glass of wine.

He immediately stood up and walked towards the man across from him.

"Could there be some misunderstanding here? The drink Xiao Yi had was poured by me, and I assure you, nothing was mixed into it."

Upon hearing this, Song Jinze pursed his lips, his well-defined right hand gripping the tennis racket tightly, watching him approach step by step with a cold stare.

"Misunderstanding? Are you implying in your words that Xiao Yi is lying?"

Compared to Lu Wen’s words, he was more willing to believe Xiao Yi unconditionally.

Lu Wen immediately denied it, "No, I didn’t say Xiao Yi lied, Jinze, what do you think my motive would be? I have no motive to do such a thing."

Even though he had played with Song Jinze since childhood, he knew all too well that his relationship with Song Jinze could never compare to the position of Xiao Yi and Zhou Ziyi in his heart.

Xiao Yi was one thing, but the person he liked the least was actually Zhou Ziyi.

Whether in terms of family background or other conditions, Zhou Ziyi was not on the same level as them at all, yet such a person was able to become brothers with Song Jinze and Xiao Yi.

Originally, Uncle Song suggested an alliance between the Song family and the Lu Family through marriage and to jointly adopt Zhou Ziyi’s child, but Lu Sangning disagreed at the time. She didn’t want to become a stepmother at such a young age and suggested that Xiao Yi take care of the child instead.

He too did not like Zhou Ziyi in his heart, and he liked even less the idea of Zhou Ziyi’s child calling him uncle, so he thought of waiting, waiting until they had settled the custody of the child before discussing further.

However, this wait caused Lu Sangning to miss the best opportunity for an alliance through marriage with Song Jinze.

This time when Lu Sangning returned to the country to find Song Jinze, she faced setbacks everywhere, and he came back thinking that he had a childhood bond with Song Jinze, hoping that meeting and talking might bring a glimmer of hope.

After all, in their circle, no one would really marry a female star and bring her home.

But he underestimated the importance of the female star Ye Zhenzhen in Song Jinze’s heart. He didn’t expect Song Jinze to reject Lu Sangning outright for the sake of a star...

Even if it were a matter of drugging, he would not drug Song Jinze’s drink; wouldn’t that be utterly foolish...

At this realization, Lu Wen suddenly came to his senses, yes, he had no direct motive, but Lu Sangning did. Could this be Lu Sangning’s doing?

In that instant, Lu Wen’s face showed an expression of disbelief,
