Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 53 - Descending the Mountain

After thinking it over, Lin Qianqian decided to just keep the egg in the bag for the time being.

On the other hand, Ye Zhenzhen took out a bottle of water from her bag, twisted it open, and handed it to Song Yuchen to drink. She then took out some food for him from the bag. When they were climbing up the mountain earlier, she had bought only two pieces of bread, along with a few vacuum-packed chicken legs and beef jerky.

These foods were all rich in protein and good for boosting energy, which was nice for mountain climbing.

Shen Yibo, seeing the food that Ye Zhenzhen gave to Song Yuchen, immediately filled his meaty little face with anticipation, “Auntie, I want to eat chicken legs too!”

An Ruilin exclaimed, “Auntie, I want some too!”

[Don’t worry, don’t worry, Aunt Zhenzhen will give you meat to eat.]

[Ye Jianjian is starting to show off again.]

[I feel like Ye Zhenzhen bought so much food earlier just to share with them.]

[Right, otherwise she and Xiao Chen wouldn’t be able to finish all that food.]

The two little guys looked at Ye Zhenzhen with both fear and anticipation, afraid that Ye Zhenzhen wouldn’t share food with them, but hopeful because they thought Ye Zhenzhen was kind and might give them some meat.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Song Yuchen, “If we have good food, can we share it with everyone else?”

She had asked Song Yuchen’s opinion when buying the snacks, so even if she wanted to share them with others, she still needed to get the little guy’s thoughts.

Song Yuchen nodded, “Yes!”

“Would you like to do the sharing?” Ye Zhenzhen gave the initiative to Song Yuchen.

Song Yuchen’s grape-like black and shiny eyes looked at Ye Zhenzhen. Although he was young, he could feel the trust and respect in Ye Zhenzhen’s gaze toward him.

“Okay.”

[I’m smitten, Ye Zhenzhen really understands children and respects them too.]

[I’ve been saying for a couple of days now, Ye Zhenzhen is genuinely nice.]

[Every time I see her interactions with children, I feel so happy, and then watching Ye Zhenzhen take on Wu Yuerou and co is so satisfying, this reality show is too addictive.]

Shen Yibo was very happy to receive the food that Song Yuchen shared with him, “Song Yuchen, thank you!”

Song Yuchen replied, “You’re welcome.”

An Ruilin didn’t want to thank Song Yuchen, so he thanked Ye Zhenzhen instead, “Auntie, thank you for buying so much tasty food!”

Ye Zhenzhen patted An Ruilin’s little head and smiled back, “You’re welcome.”

Although An Ruilin was sometimes naughty, he was also very cute when he behaved well.

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t like Wu Yuerou or Han Jiangxue, but she found their kids adorable and couldn’t bring herself to dislike them.

When Wu Yuerou saw her son enjoying a drumstick, she merely turned her head to the side, not even giving Ye Zhenzhen a glance, not wanting to thank her.

Han Jiangxue, not willing to acknowledge the favor from Ye Zhenzhen, simply complimented Song Yuchen with a smile, “Xiao Chen is really great, sharing yummy food with everyone.”

Song Yuchen looked up, glanced at Han Jiangxue, then turned toward Ye Zhenzhen, the sense of righteousness exploding on his fair little face, “This is what my mom taught me, she said you have to share good food with everyone.”

Han Jiangxue: “Yes, Xiao Chen is really great.”

“It’s my mom who is great!”

[Hahaha! It seems like Xiao Chen really approves of Ye Zhenzhen]

[There were online rumors before that Ye Zhenzhen was the evil stepmother, but after watching for a few days, I just can’t see it.]

Han Jiangxue: …

How did she dig herself into another hole?

You have to admit, Ye Zhenzhen’s brainwashing of her stepchild is very successful; she should also study how to get Shen Yibo to cooperate with her in front of the camera.

Ye Zhenzhen had bread for lunch, which tasted pretty good.

Han Jiangxue and Wu Yurou had cold mantou. Han Jiangxue managed to eat most of it, feeling choked, but was still hungry and, with no other option, forced it down with water.

After lunch, the five groups of guests climbed to the top of the mountain together, and aside from filming, the cameraman brother also took a lot of photos for everyone.

Having fun at the top of the mountain for over two hours, around 3 PM, it suddenly started to drizzle and the mountaintop was shrouded in mist, looking like a fairyland…

While the scenery was breathtaking, the temperature also dropped. Everyone who’d felt hot while climbing was now shivering from the cold.

Ye Zhenzhen took out clothes from her bag for herself and Song Yuchen, while everyone, except for Han Jiangxue and Shen Yibo, put on extra layers.

Han Jiangxue, having little experience with kids, had no concept of bringing extra clothes for outings.

Shen Yibo hugged his little arms and looked at Han Jiangxue, “Mommy, I’m really cold, I want to go down the mountain.”

Han Jiangxue: “Yes, let’s go down quickly.”

If they didn’t leave soon, they might freeze to death.

Ye Zhenzhen took Song Yuchen, Xu Wanjia, and Lin Qianqian, the two mother-daughter pairs, directly to the cable car at the mountaintop.

Wu Yuerou hurried over to Xu Wanjia and said, “Jiajia, can Ruilin and I share a cable car with you? It’s really cold and raining, I’m afraid the child will get sick if he gets wet.”

Even if it wasn’t raining, she had no desire to walk down the mountain on foot—it was too tiring!

Xu Wanjia didn’t refuse, but the staff stopped Wu Yuerou, “Sorry, ma’am, the cable car can take a maximum of one adult and two kids.”

The staff thought that An Ruilin was with Xu Wanjia and that Wu Yuerou was trying to hitch a ride.

Upon hearing the staff, Han Jiangxue felt a chill in her heart; she had been hoping to hitch a ride on Lin Qianqian’s cable car.

When she heard that children were allowed, Ye Zhenzhen didn’t hesitate and immediately sent Song Yuchen to call for Shen Yibo, “Yibo, come with me in the cable car down the mountain.”

Shen Yibo: “Great! I get to ride the car car with Xiao Chen.”

Han Jiangxue: What’s the use if he’s not your own flesh and blood?

Always only thinking of oneself!

So, in the end, the only ones left to descend the mountain on foot were Han Jiangxue and Wu Yuerou.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to climb up a mountain but hard to go down.

Han Jiangxue and Wu Yuerou had only descended a few steps when their faces twisted in pain, unable to hide their suffering as each step down caused soreness and swelling in their calves and thighs…
