NOVEL WEB Chapter 2: This Tacitly Broken Relationship!
"Mum's Company" was a new parent-child variety show released by Lemon TV. The show was broadcasted through a 24-hour live broadcast.
There were five groups of guests participating in the variety show. They were Han Jiangxue and her stepson Shen Yibo, Lin Qianqian and her daughter Fang Xiaoyu, Wu Yuerou and her son An Ruilin, Xu Wanjia and her daughter Yang Yike, and Ye Zhenzhen and her stepson Song Yuchen.
Among them, Ye Zhenzhen and Han Jiangxue were the two most controversial stepmother-stepson groups in the industry.
Compared to the trending searches about Han Jiangxue and her stepson getting along harmoniously, Ye Zhenzhen and her stepson had always been trending because of negative news. Therefore, after learning that Ye Zhenzhen was in this variety show, the anti-fans who hated her became even more disgusted. The Internet was flooded with ridicule and negative comments.
To create a more intense effect of contrast, the production team arranged for the cameraman to film Ye Zhenzhen's family first thing in the morning.
With the worst-case scenario as a comparison, no matter how bad the other guests were, they would not be worse than Ye Zhenzhen.
When Ye Zhenzhen got dressed and went downstairs, the production crew was filming Song Yuchen having breakfast in the dining room.
Two of the cameramen were about to go upstairs to film Ye Zhenzhen, but unexpectedly the latter had come downstairs herself.
In the camera, Ye Zhenzhen was wearing a set of gray and white casual clothes. Her lips were red and her hair was jet black. She hadn't applied any makeup on her delicate face, but her skin seemed porcelain-smooth. Her lazy expression was casual.
The netizens who were praising Song Yuchen's handsomeness and coolness suddenly changed the topic.
[Look, look, the cheap and disgusting stepmother has arrived. The child has already started eating breakfast, but she only just got up.]
[As a mother, I envy her. She lives in a mansion, has servants to take care of her child, eats ready-made breakfast, and can sleep until she wants to. I've always dreamed of such a life.]
[Same, as a full-time mother, I'm also envious !]
[Don't be envious of her. I heard that her husband is an old man. Ye Jianjian was only willing to be a stepmother for money.]
[Yes! Otherwise, why would the mean Ye Jianjian be willing to be someone else's stepmother?]
Song Yuchen was wearing a black casual outfit. His small face was fair, but his innocent and cute eyes were cold. At this moment, his cheeks were puffed as he chewed his food, making him look like a cute little hamster.
Ye Zhenzhen could not help but want to touch the little boy's cute face, but the little one seemed to have predicted her action. Before she could get close, he turned his head away and did not let her touch it.
His grape-like black eyes even gave her a sideways glance.
She stopped provoking the little guy and sat down at the dining table to eat breakfast with him. However, the moment she sat down, the boy put down the cutlery in his hand.
"I'm full." His childish voice was filled with stubbornness.
Before Ye Zhenzhen could reply, she saw the little boy, who was only 1.1 meters tall, quickly leave the dining chair and run to the sunroom in the corner of the living room without even looking at her.
She smiled. As expected, this stepson really didn't like his stepmother.
In her memory, the original owner of this body had promised to do things with Song Yuchen, but in the end, she never kept any of her promises.
It was precisely because the little boy was often stood up by the original owner of this body that the latter had no credibility in her stepson's heart.
This time, the little boy had only reluctantly agreed to participate in the variety show because Ye Zhenzhen promised Song Yuchen that she would take him to meet his idol, Best Actor Mr. Xiao, after the variety show ended.
Song Yuchen, who was almost five years old, had his own thoughts. He felt that the original owner of this body was only his stepmother and not his biological mother. Moreover, he felt that she didn't really care about him, so from the day the original owner of the body married into the family, he had always called her "auntie".
When he was angry, he even called her by her name.
There were a few times when the original owner of the body was angry at Song Yuchen for not cooperating with her and calling her "mommy".
In the child's heart, he was participating in the show entirely for his idol, Best Actor Mr. Xiao. It had nothing to do with whether he liked his stepmother or not.
[Look, look at this. They're clearly not on good terms, but she still insists on using her stepson to gain popularity.]
[Speaking of which, this little boy is quite polite. No matter how much he hates Ye Jianjian, he still greets her before leaving the dining table.]
[This is how you should deal with a vicious stepmother like Ye Jianjian. Slap her face in front of the camera.]
Ye Zhenzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly as she ate her breakfast leisurely. Her delicate and fair face did not show any emotion, which surprised the production team.
To be honest, from the perspective of a child, she was indeed too much as a stepmother.
However, the production crew was bent on stirring up trouble, so how could they let go of this opportunity? One of the four cameramen who followed Ye Zhenzhen was a little assistant. When Ye Zhenzhen finished her breakfast and started packing her luggage, he stepped forward and started interviewing her.
"Sister Zhenzhen, have you and your son always been like this at home?" The assistant pointed at Song Yuchen, who was standing not far away.
The expression on the assistant's face almost read, "Is your relationship with your son at home so bad, even if it's a live broadcast?"
Ye Zhenzhen's hand paused. She looked up at Song Yuchen, who was stroking the dog in the sunroom.
"Oh, what's wrong with that?" She asked.
The assistant laughed awkwardly, "You guys didn't seem to say a word."
Wasn't this the biggest problem? It was said that Ye Zhenzhen's stepson never called her mother.
"Wasn't there? Didn't my son just tell me that he was full?"
The assistant was speechless.
The netizens in the bullet comments were speechless.
[When did Ye Jianjian become so thick-skinned!]
[That's because the handsome boy is polite, okay? That's called talking?]
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!]
To be honest, having just arrived in this world and being able to be on such terms with her stepson, Ye Zhenzhen felt that it was already a good start for her.
At least, the little boy was not like the other brats, causing trouble at the dining table, pointing at her nose, and shouting to embarrass her.
"Sister Zhenzhen, are you and Baby Yuchen ready to participate in the variety show?" The assistant continued to ask.
"As you can see, I am preparing."
The assistant, "Yes, I can see that. Other than that, do you have any other thoughts?"
Ye Zhenzhen did not even raise her head, "No."
Did she even need to mentally prepare for this?
Based on her many years of experience in the entertainment industry in her previous life, if she deliberately said something hypocritical for the sake of the camera, it would only make things worse for her. It would not do her any good.
She might as well be direct.
The other party could ask whatever he wanted, but she would answer however she liked.
The assistant, who found the atmosphere quite cold, stood up and walked to Song Yuchen's side. Then, he asked, "Baby Yuchen, what about you? Are you ready?"
Song Yuchen's soft and fair hands were stroking the snow-white Samoyed's head. His long curly black eyelashes drooped as he said casually, "What preparations do we need to make?"
His childish voice was cold and helpless. It was as if he was clueless about all this and had been forced to participate.
The assistant did not give up and continued to ask, "It's just that it's your first time going out to record a show with your mother. Do you have any thoughts about it?"
Song Yuchen shook his head, "No."
The assistant was speechless.
The viewers in the live-streaming room were speechless too.
