Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 68 - Shocked

Ye Zhenzhen really knew how to play the game, Han Jiangxue felt that she had been outmaneuvered by Ye Zhenzhen this time.

The live broadcast from start to finish had Ye Zhenzhen hiring cyber armies to praise her, and even for this airport reception, that woman was willing to spend a lot of money to hire so many people, and they acted so realistically…

She brought Shen Yibo onto a parenting reality show, putting a lot of effort into goading Ye Zhenzhen into coming as well, and not only did the expected effect not occur, but it allowed Ye Zhenzhen to steal the spotlight.

Every time she thought of this, Han Jiangxue felt infuriated.

In the crowd, someone realized, “It seems like Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen didn’t come back, we didn’t see them.”

“Exactly, they said it was just some minor injuries, why haven’t we seen Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen? The production team, you owe us an explanation!”

The production team members accompanying the guests knew it was impossible to give an explanation right now; the director and Xiaowen were not present, and they had no idea what had happened to Ye Zhenzhen.

In such a situation, keeping silent was the best solution.

Security escorted the guests out of the airport, the four mom groups boarded their respective cars to go home, and with that, the first episode of “Mom’s Companion” both its recording and live broadcast, officially came to an end.

Han Jiangxue, along with Shen Yibo, boarded the nanny van, and when Shen Yibo saw Han Jiangxue’s agent Tang Ying, he smiled and called out, “Auntie Tang Ying!”

Tang Ying handed Shen Yibo a strawberry cake, “Yibo, here, Auntie bought you a cake.”

“Thank you, Auntie!”

Shen Yibo took the cake and started eating it on his own.

As for Han Jiangxue, her face fell the moment she saw Tang Ying after getting into the car, “What’s with those trending searches, comments, and the airport reception this time? It was all Ye Zhenzhen. Tang Ying, what have you been doing?”

Tang Ying twisted open her thermos cap and handed it to Han Jiangxue, “Xiao Xue, I think we fell for Ye Zhenzhen’s trap, we’ve been played by her.”

She had seen those trending topics online, they weren’t bought with money, but those netizens and fans definitely had issues.

“Tang Ying, I’m not trying to criticize you, but look at other people’s agents and then look at you. What have you done? You said I could become famous because of this show, but now, all the popularity has been snatched away by that bitch Ye Zhenzhen. It’s like I participated in the show for several days just to make her a wedding dress.”

With patience, Tang Ying explained, “Xiao Xue, don’t be angry. Because Ye Zhenzhen is joining this child-care variety show, she and Liu Rui are on the verge of terminating their contract, how could they possibly manage her, I think Ye Zhenzhen must have found someone in private, and this person is also acquainted with Xiao Yi…”

“Xiao Yi?” Han Jiangxue looked shocked, “When did Ye Zhenzhen become involved with Xiao Yi?”

As she spoke, Han Jiangxue hurriedly took out her phone and entered Weibo, “I just scrolled through Weibo and didn’t see any hot searches about Xiao Yi and Ye Zhenzhen?”

Tang Ying: “Xiao Yi’s team suppressed the hot searches, and there were also rumors about Ye Zhenzhen’s husband being an old man. I hired some internet trolls to post comments in the live stream chat and on Weibo, but the comments were taken down on the same day they were posted.”

Han Jiangxue frowned, clicked directly into Xiao Yi’s Weibo to take a look. The most recent post was from a few days ago, very conspicuous, @Ye Zhenzhen; after returning to Jiangcheng, come and get an autographed photo from me.

Han Jiangxue gritted her teeth, “How does Ye Zhenzhen even know Xiao Yi? She wouldn’t be after the lead role in ‘Selflessness’, would she?”

‘Selflessness’ is a movie script written by the award-winning screenwriter Xia Zhi. The details of the screenplay are still being polished, and the cast has not been entirely confirmed.

Previously, Xia Zhi had publicly stated that Xiao Yi was designated as the male lead of her then-upcoming screenplay.

The male lead had been decided, so that left the female lead and other supporting roles. Naturally, some actors and agents in the industry with a modicum of ability would try to find out more by all means necessary.

Tang Ying went through a convoluted process just to find out the general plot of Xia Zhi’s script, which is said to be about a stepmother taking care of a child and the series of daily life and emotional stories that unfold between her, the child, and the male protagonist.

Originally, Tang Ying and Han Jiangxue planned to use this child-focused variety show to show Han Jiangxue’s kind and motherly side so that, once her popularity rose, Tang Ying could leverage her connections when casting began, ensuring Han Jiangxue would definitely secure the role of the female lead.

It’s well known that Xia Zhi’s scripts are rare but exceptional, and she has high standards for the actors performing in her works. Most crucially, she only collaborates with the famous director Yang Honghui in the industry.

With an award-winning scriptwriter and a renowned director behind the scenes, any actor who participated and sought to perfect their craft was almost guaranteed to win awards.

This was also Han Jiangxue’s ultimate purpose for participating in the variety show, with a secondary goal of wanting to see Ye Zhenzhen’s utter ruin, unable to show her face around her ever again.

After going deep in thought, Tang Ying was also somewhat unsure, “That shouldn’t be the case. Before Xia Zhi’s script is officially open for casting, do you think anyone can find out about it? I doubt even Xiao Yi himself knows the content.”

There was a hint of self-praising in Tang Ying’s words, but they were quite comforting to Han Jiangxue. After all, whether herself or her management team, they had always been far stronger than Ye Zhenzhen’s.

“The key is how does Ye Zhenzhen know Xiao Yi, and will Xiao Yi recommend her to Xia Zhi?” Han Jiangxue voiced the doubts she felt were rather improbable.

Tang Ying laughed disdainfully, “How is that possible? With Ye Zhenzhen’s bulging-eyed acting, Xiao Yi would have to be blind to recommend her to Xia Zhi, and even if he did, do you think Xia Zhi would agree?”

Han Jiangxue nodded slightly, “That’s true.”

As long as Ye Zhenzhen didn’t come and interfere with the script, she could relax a little.

“Xiao Xue, just take it easy,” Tang Ying said, glancing at Shen Yibo and then giving Han Jiangxue a subtle look, “You’re not too busy lately, it’s a good time to stay at home and spend more time with Yibo. Take him out to play, drop him off and pick him up from kindergarten.”

This way, their team could also create more images of Han Jiangxue getting along harmoniously with her stepchild. Although the variety show was one aspect, people still have to live their lives, and the most important thing was surely the way they get along in everyday life.
