Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 67 - The Life of the Rich

She had eaten like this during filming periods only when she was dieting, but now that she wasn’t dieting, eating so ‘frugally’ left her genuinely hungry!

Song Jinze was seated in front of Ye Zhenzhen to the left, also savoring his soup. The man’s profile was perfect, exuding an air of unattainable dignity and elegance in everything he did.

Behind him, Song Yuchen was also carefully sipping his soup with a spoon…

Ye Zhenzhen pressed her lips together slightly, thinking to herself that there was a reason why rich people were attractive—they ate less, paid attention to their manners, and were elegant.

Just when Ye Zhenzhen thought this ‘elegant’ lunch was over, the handsome steward came back, first taking her soup bowl from the tray, then bringing a beautifully plated dish.

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at it—it was charcoal-grilled wild black abalone!

After one bite, she found it so delicious she almost bit her tongue!

The only drawback was that the portion was quite small, and she still hadn’t had enough.

Then came the third dish, king crab noodles, and it was a large plate.

But this dish seemed to require mixing, and holding the fork in her left hand proved to be slightly challenging. After all, she wasn’t left-handed.

If she used her right hand, any force would pull at the injury on her arm. After the anesthetic wore off, the wound didn’t hurt if she didn’t move it, but once she did, it was quite painful.

Ye Zhenzhen whimpered softly in pain~

Song Jinze turned his face slightly to look back and to the right, towards Ye Zhenzhen. He quickly mixed the noodles in his plate and signaled the nearby steward to take them to Ye Zhenzhen.

“Madam, please have this one. The gentleman mixed it for you.”

The two plates of noodles were exchanged.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at the mixed crab noodles, coated in crab leg meat and crab roe. She lifted her gaze towards the man in front, who was leisurely mixing what had originally been her portion of noodles.

So why did this cold and ruthless man suddenly start to take such care of her?

Just because she was injured?

It must be so.

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head to see how Song Yuchen was doing, and wished she hadn’t—it was quite odd.

There wasn’t even a crab shell on Xiao Chen’s tray, and he had already eaten nearly half of his noodles…

So there’s special treatment even when serving meals?

Children are given mixed noodles directly, while adults get carefully plated ones?

After the crab noodles, the fourth course was served: dessert, accompanied by a small plate of seasonal fruits.

The items weren’t much, but the presentation was worthy of Michelin stars, a true feast for the eyes.

This…

Is this what the wealthy call ‘making do’?

Sorry, it was she who was too hasty in using the word ‘making do.’

But she couldn’t help exclaiming, “The life of the rich is truly enviable!”

It was the first time Ye Zhenzhen truly felt, since transmigrating into this book, that her current life was worlds apart from her previous one.

Although she had managed to save a decent amount of money before through her own abilities, the level of luxury she could enjoy still had its limits.

Today’s experience was something she could have only dreamed of in her past life, having leaped across who knows how many social classes. It felt surreal and a bit unbelievable.

It was something she had only dared to imagine when she was either filming or dreaming.

And when it comes to filming, it all depended on the budget, which often wasn’t enough to afford such luxury, because props and real items cost too much money.

After a while, the attendant came over to clear the dishes, then brought her a drink and mouthwash.

Now, Ye Zhenzhen was truly satisfied, having eaten her fill. Time for a nap…

…

Jiangcheng Airport.

The plane carrying Song Jinze landed at Jiangcheng around 2 p.m., coinciding roughly with the arrival of the ‘Mom’s Companion’ reality show crew.

Fans in Jiangcheng, upon learning that the guests would be returning to the city that day, had been waiting eagerly at the airport for their idols since early morning.

Ye Zhenzhen still followed Song Jinze through the VIP channel.

After disembarking, Ye Zhenzhen instinctively turned on her phone, and a call labeled ‘Grandpa Song’ came in immediately, “Zhenzhen, I heard you got injured. Are you still in Ancheng?”

Grandpa Song is Song Jinze’s grandfather. In Ye Zhenzhen’s current memory, the old man treated her very well and took a liking to her at first sight. That’s why he forced Song Jinze to marry her.

Ye Zhenzhen responded, “Grandpa, I’m not in Ancheng. I’ve just arrived in Jiangcheng.”

“Ah, are you still recording the show? I’ve watched that variety show of yours; it’s very good. You’re still injured, so don’t record anymore. Come home for dinner tonight.”

Ye Zhenzhen: “Okay.”

On the other end of the call, the old man laughed heartily, “How come you agreed so readily this time, haha, well, bring Xiao Chen with you tonight. I haven’t seen the little guy for several days and I miss him.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Ye Zhenzhen felt something was off. Why was the old man so happy about her coming to dinner? Could it be that the original owner rarely went there?

Following the typical plotline, that was probably the case, or perhaps there was some troublesome person in this man’s family.

In the myriad clichés of novels, vicious female supporting characters make up half of them.

In this book, there were definitely more than one scheming female side characters causing trouble.

Song Jinze, walking ahead, stopped in his tracks. As Ye Zhenzhen approached, he asked, “Did Grandpa ask you to come for dinner?”

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, “Yeah.”

“You agreed?”

“Shouldn’t I have?”

“You should. You go back and rest first. I’ll go with you tonight.”

Ye Zhenzhen: …

What’s going on?

Could it be that her earlier speculation was true?

…

Meanwhile, the guests of ‘Mom’s Companion’ disembarked their plane. The show’s crew hadn’t arranged for them to use the VIP channel but chose instead to face the crowd of fans for more exposure.

The security at the scene had already made thorough preparations, not for any other reason but because there were children among the guests, so they paid extra attention.

Han Jiangxue was full of anticipation, eager to see just how enthusiastically the airport fans would receive her. Upon arriving at the scene, she was completely stunned…
