Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 41 - Being Scolded

After dinner, the guests all went back to their rooms to bathe and rest, preparing to leave early the next morning for Anshan.

Shen Yibo finished his bath but felt his stomach ache again, this time he did not want to go to the bathroom, he just felt very painful. Han Jiangxue thought it might be because he didn’t take his medicine, since today they were outside digging shoots at noon, and she had forgotten to give Shen Yibo his medicine. She hurried to prepare it for him now.

The medicine took a long time to prepare, and even after drinking it, Shen Yibo still felt uncomfortable. Han Jiangxue seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and quickly changed her clothes, holding Shen Yibo to look for the doctor they visited last night.

It was Ye Zhenzhen who took them to see the doctor yesterday, and she already knew the address, so naturally she did not want to go back to Ye Zhenzhen and let the other party steal the limelight.

It was her son, after all, and Han Jiangxue intended to take him to see the doctor herself.

[After a day of stomach trouble, it’s still best to see a doctor. Poor Yibo.]

[If you ask me, there’s no need to see the doctor at all, it’s definitely because he ate something bad in the morning.]

[I’ve noticed since this morning when Han Jiangxue was preparing the medicine, she’s really careless, she’s far behind compared to Ye Zhenzhen.]

Han Jiangxue arrived quickly at the old man’s doorstep with Shen Yibo, she knocked on the door, but there was no response inside. She knocked several more times and, just like last night, footsteps could be heard coming from inside, and the door opened.

The old man still wore a white shirt, cloth shoes, and blue trousers, and his kind face frowned slightly at the sight of Han Jiangxue holding Shen Yibo, “What’s wrong?”

As he asked, he had already observed that Shen Yibo’s complexion was very wrong. He reached out to take the child from Han Jiangxue and went inside.

Han Jiangxue followed the old man inside and described Shen Yibo’s condition throughout the day…

“Old man, was the medicine you gave my son last night effective at all?” Han Jiangxue couldn’t help but doubt; she had spent so much time preparing medicine both last night and today, yet after drinking it, her child’s stomach ache only got worse.

The old man’s face darkened after listening to Han Jiangxue, he took Shen Yibo’s pulse, and within just a few short minutes, he knew the cause of the illness.

“My medicine is not the problem; the problem is what the child ate this morning. Think carefully about what he ate before the diarrhea started in the morning and whether he took his medicine after eating.”

Han Jiangxue: …

The medicine was taken before the meal, and for breakfast Shen Yibo had eaten bamboo shoot slices stir-fried with meat that she had cooked… the meat was from yesterday, and she hadn’t refrigerated it.

But she could not tell the doctor this.

Seeing Han Jiangxue not answering, the old man had a rough guess and said unhappily, “I usually do not treat outsiders, and had it not been for hearing about you folks coming here to help sell oranges for the grandma in Yishan Village yesterday, I wouldn’t have opened my door to you.”

As he spoke, the old man took out a few brown pills from a jar, gave one to Shen Yibo to swallow, and wrapped the others in paper, “The child doesn’t have any serious issues, he should sleep tonight, and take these pills tomorrow morning and evening. He’ll be better in a couple of days.”

“Okay, thank you, grandpa!”

[Oh ho, after all that fuss, it’s still all about our Zhenzhen’s face]

[Come on, haters, why aren’t you picking fights now?]

[I said it was a problem with the medicine, and there was something wrong with the breakfast too]

[Suddenly realized that this group of moms can’t function without Ye Zhenzhen. Even Han Jiangxue has to thank Ye Zhenzhen now, hahaha!]

Holding Shen Yibo in her arms, Han Jiangxue returned to the yard and couldn’t help but throw a vicious glance at Ye Zhenzhen’s door.

She had originally planned to play up the caring mother image tonight, she herself taking her son to see a doctor in the middle of the night. But to her dismay, not only did the doctor scold her for nothing, but it also gave Ye Zhenzhen another chance to boost her presence.

Why is she everywhere? So annoying!

That evening, Weibo’s trending topics saw new additions:

#BeautifulAndKindYeZhenzhen#

#ThankYouYeZhenzhen#

#NegligentStepmotherHanJiangxue#

[I only found out about this reality show from Weibo today, watched it for a whole day, and realized that Ye Zhenzhen is a real treasure]

[Exactly, everyone used to bash her. I think someone must be jealous of her.]

[She doesn’t complain at all when working hard digging for bamboo shoots, just focusing on her work and taking care of her child. She’s not only good at protecting her own child, but she also saves others’ children.]

[The moment she pulled An Ruilin was so timely. If it wasn’t for her quick action, An Ruilin’s chances would’ve been slim.]

Netizens’ comments experienced a huge shift due to Ye Zhenzhen’s consecutive statements and actions over the past two days.

Ye Zhenzhen’s Weibo followers skyrocketed from 12 million before the show to 25 million by tonight, a doubling in growth.

Even the official Weibo account for “Mom’s Companion” saw a substantial increase in followers.

Various short videos and photos from live streams were circulating online, with Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen being praised by netizens as the most in-sync mother-son duo.

All conclusions drawn from these discussions were positive and uplifting…

Inside the hotel.

It was already 11 p.m., but Song Jinze was still sitting at the desk, working.

Secretary Zhang, still in his sharp suit, respectfully approached Song Jinze and reported in a strictly professional manner, “President, I’ve found out that Mrs. Cheng will be going to Anshan tomorrow. Additionally, we can be completely sure that President Cheng’s itinerary for tomorrow is in Ancheng.”

Song Jinze’s eyes, narrowed, his dark irises contracting slightly, “Postpone the return trip to Jiangcheng by two days and get the partnership agreement with Cheng Corporation ready.”

Secretary Zhang nodded, “Yes, President.”

Having reported the important work matters, Secretary Zhang was about to update the President about the lady and young master’s situation when the boss gestured him away, “Go and rest.”

Secretary Zhang: …

This sudden end to the workday is both unexpected and blissful!
