Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 63 - Seize the Initiative

The conversation had pivoted from children to men once again.

Ye Zhenzhen was taken aback.

It seemed the original character did quite like this man.

But as for her, she had only met the man twice, and had spoken even less than she had conversed with Su Xi just now. To say she liked him was simply not true.

To say she really liked him was even less likely.

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen didn’t respond, Su Xi had a knowing look on her face, “I get it, no wonder you were so polite with each other just now.”

“You get it?” Ye Zhenzhen was puzzled. She hadn’t shown anything off, had she?

Su Xi nodded, “You two had an arranged marriage, right? I’m the same with Cheng Zheng. Let me tell you, men are creatures you cannot understand with normal reasoning. You must never be the first to fall in love, and you can’t let him think he’s got you wrapped around his finger. Otherwise, you’re the one who’s going to suffer later…”

Ye Zhenzhen silently nodded. Although she had never been in love, she had acted in dramas in her previous life, so she understood some stuff about the relationships between men and women, even if not completely.

Listening to Su Xi and reflecting on the scene that had just occurred in the living room, Ye Zhenzhen’s impression of Su Xi began to improve.

This woman was straightforward and candid, with a clear and decisive way of speaking and doing things, showing true sincerity without any pretense. Even now, as they chatted, she was very natural and did not treat Ye Zhenzhen like a stranger they were meeting for just the second time.

On the ride to the hospital last night, Ye Zhenzhen was in pain from an injury, and no matter how hard she tried to endure, it still hurt. Su Xi had been very gentle and patient with her throughout.

In that situation, even though they had hardly exchanged a few words, there was a feeling of familiarity between them.

It was like meeting an old friend after a long time; even though they didn’t talk much, the atmosphere and mutual feeling were very comfortable, not awkward at all.

Ye Zhenzhen spoke up, “Yeah, I agree, I think it’s best for a woman to be independent, focus on her career, and save money. Who needs men…”

“Ah, you’re only half right,” Su Xi interrupted. “While a woman should be independent and earn her own money, having a man is also important. Men can give you a different kind of happiness…”

As she spoke, Su Xi gave Ye Zhenzhen a meaningful look, “You know what I mean, right? That kind of happiness can’t be achieved alone.”

Ye Zhenzhen: …

This woman!

“I advise you, sister, since you’re already married, whether you like him or not, take the initiative. Get a firm grip on him, make him fall in love with you first, become indispensable to him. Afterwards, how you want to handle things will be up to you.”

Ye Zhenzhen’s lips twitched. Great, she took a knifing and gained a romance coach, who seemingly also helped her figure out how to deviate from the original book’s plot in her forthcoming marriage…

According to the original plot, at this time, the main character was supposed to be depressed. Xiao Chen fell ill the day they went to dig bamboo shoots, and it should be Xiao Chen lying in the hospital these days, not her.

Does this also mean that she has completely escaped danger and changed the tragic ending in the original book?

Su Xi patted Ye Zhenzhen’s left hand, “What are you thinking about? Don’t give up just because of the arranged marriage. You need to be true to yourself.”

“Yeah, be true to myself.”

If I can bear it, I’ll bear it; if not, divorce isn’t the end of the world.

“Uncle Zhang! You’re back!” Xiao Chen’s voice rang out from the living room.

Ye Zhenzhen and Su Xi walked to the living room together. Cheng Zheng waved to Su Xi, “Wife, come out for a second.”

Su Xi wrinkled her nose, her face expressing slight contempt as she gave Cheng Zheng a glance and walked towards the hospital room, heels clicking…

Secretary Zhang held a big bag in his hand, also clutching a bunch of sunflowers, and handed the bag to Ye Zhenzhen, “Mrs. Song, here are your things returned by the show crew.”

Ye Zhenzhen took the bag, “Thank you. Where are they?”

“They’ve already left. These flowers were sent by them.” While speaking, Secretary Zhang set the flowers on the dining table.

He had just been signing a contract with Cheng Zheng when he received a call from the show crew, asking which hospital room Ye Zhenzhen was in because they wanted to visit her and bring her the personal belongings collected before the recording.

Thinking of Director Fei bringing a camera crew, and considering that his boss was still in the hospital room, Secretary Zhang straight-up declined Director Fei’s request to visit.

To not keep the show crew waiting, Secretary Zhang asked the driver, Xiao Li, to first collect the belongings, and he would bring them back to the hospital room himself later.

After handing over the things to the driver, Director Fei and Xiaowen didn’t say much and left awkwardly.

Director Fei thought that once Ye Zhenzhen returned to Jiangcheng, he would contact her to conduct a special interview exclusively for her, properly reporting on her act of bravery.

It would give those online trolls no room to badmouth Ye Zhenzhen.

Outside the hospital room.

Cheng Zheng’s face was covered with a frenzied and annoyed expression, like he wanted to explode but didn’t quite dare to, “Su Xi, are you freaking insane? Agreeing to sign the contract at 2%, why didn’t you just give it away for free?”

Su Xi raised an eyebrow, “Are you yelling at me? Complaining? Blaming me?”

Cheng Zheng: …

“No, I’m talking business with you. Even if you feel guilty about Mrs. Song getting hurt, you can’t be this generous, can you?”

Su Xi corrected him, “That’s not guilt, it’s gratitude, understand? What’s wrong with 2%? They already gave you 30% before, and with things that you have that they don’t, taking an extra 2% you’re still coming out ahead, right?”

“Su Xi!”

“Yell again!” Su Xi glared back, “Try yelling again! Didn’t I tell you everything that was in that package last night? If those things had been lost, all the money in the world you’re earning now would be useless.”

“And I like Mrs. Song. If Mrs. Song said not to take even one percent, I’d agree to it, understand?”

Cheng Zheng: …

She’s crazy, this woman is absolutely crazy!
