Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 369 - 389 President Song is Speechless!

The waiter knocked and came in again with the dishes. Song Jinze tended to Ye Zhenzhen very thoughtfully, separating her portion and passing her the utensils. In his movements, the light in his eyes shimmered as if bathed in the mild moonlight, revealing endless tenderness...

Da Mi also placed a small portion of soup in front of Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, try this mushroom soup."

In his memory, Zhenzhen liked this kind of soup.

"Okay, thanks!"

Song Jinze took the soup in front of her, "This soup has cooled, drink this bowl instead." Then he put a freshly served vegetable thick soup in front of Ye Zhenzhen, "Drink this one."

Ye Zhenzhen gave the man beside her an annoyed side glance. What was this again!

Seeing Song Jinze behave this way, Da Mi didn’t follow suit, but instead took out a card and handed it to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, this is for you."

Ye Zhenzhen was puzzled, "What do you mean by giving me a card?"

She had asked Da Mi to meet today both to see him and to give him money. Why was he giving her money now?

"Have you forgotten? This is your investment." As he said this, a gentle, doting smile appeared on Da Mi’s handsome face, "Brother has now successfully earned his first pot of gold, so of course, I must return the money to you!"

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Da Mi, who was speaking with utter seriousness. Although his appearance was youthful, the words he spoke were like those of a long-lost brother, not at all jarring but instead giving off a natural and warm feeling.

"No, I was going to give you..."

Da Mi knew what Ye Zhenzhen meant and immediately interrupted her, "Last time I was just joking with you; how could I really take your money? Now that we have met, I’ll make it clear to you, if you need anything in the future just come to me directly, don’t be a stranger."

"But..."

"No buts, let’s eat. The soup will cool again!" After saying this, Da Mi even threw a playful glance at Song Jinze.

Song Jinze’s lips curled into a faint smile and he said to Da Mi, "Since it’s the first pot of gold that you’ve earned, you keep it and spend it yourself. My woman, the last thing she lacks is money."

Ye Zhenzhen looked at Song Jinze; here he goes again, what’s it to him!

Undisturbed by Song Jinze, Da Mi pushed the card once more towards Ye Zhenzhen, "As your brother, you often spent money on me when we were little. Now that I have money, naturally, I should let my little sister spend her brother’s money."

Looking at Da Mi’s earnest face, more memories flashed through Ye Zhenzhen’s mind. The original owner’s relationship with Da Mi during their childhood seemed indeed very good, but after the original owner went to high school, she moved to Jiangcheng and lost contact with Da Mi.

It wasn’t until university was nearly over that they reconnected; at that time, Da Mi was getting ready to go abroad, while the original owner had already signed with a talent agency and started earning money.

The investment Da Mi spoke of was indeed the money the original owner had given him...

"Don’t zone out, Zhenzhen, take it. I won’t be happy on my birthday today if you don’t."

Now that the matter had come to this, it seemed somewhat disrespectful for Ye Zhenzhen not to accept the card, especially since she had been so casual about seeking help before.

She accepted the bank card, "Alright, I’ll take the money for now, and if you need anything in the future, you can always come to me."

Though her memory wasn’t so profound, the images in her mind told her that Da Mi was indeed a brother she could trust.

Just a brother, and nothing more!

Meanwhile, Song Jinze’s expression had turned grave. His dark eyes stared coldly at Da Mi. His instincts were telling him that this boy’s appearance was definitely not a coincidence.

All this brother talk and birthday and insisting on giving money, huh!

Afterward, the three of them dined and chatted leisurely.

The most discussed topic was Da Mi recalling his childhood memories with Ye Zhenzhen...

"Why didn’t you show up when you asked me out last time?" Since old times were mentioned, Da Mi took the opportunity to ask.

Ye Zhenzhen genuinely couldn’t remember, so she made up a casual excuse, "I happened to have an audition for a drama crew and couldn’t make it. I called you, but your phone was unreachable."

Upon hearing Ye Zhenzhen’s explanation, a touch of regret appeared on Da Mi’s face. Now it was too late to say anything.

Forget it, what’s in the past is in the past. He asked this only because he felt somewhat discontented, even though the answer he got was as he had expected.

At this moment, Song Jinze happened to catch the fleeting expression on Da Mi’s face. The words the little guy said this morning echoed in his mind again;

"You better be careful, Mommy really likes her boyfriend!"

Could it be possible that if he and Zhenzhen weren’t connected by their grandfathers’ relationship, he might not have had any right to be sitting here today...

They knew each other since childhood and had many conversations in common. All the topics discussed at this meal were brought up by Da Mi, and she conversed with him at ease.

This feeling was one he and Ye Zhenzhen had never experienced. Apart from their recent frequent interactions in the past month, they had hardly communicated in the previous half-year, let alone the kind of engagement she had with Da Mi today.

In that moment, Song Jinze felt a sense of tastelessness in the food he put into his mouth. He hadn’t had a past with her, and as for whether there could be a change in their future, that still required his continued effort... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The dessert after dinner was the cake brought in by the waitress. Ye Zhenzhen sang a birthday song for Da Mi and cut the cake for the birthday boy. In the space for three, two were happy, while one Overbearing CEO was expressionless.

Song Jinze was speechless. Was it really necessary to celebrate this birthday?

Did his wife really have to sing a birthday song and cut a cake for another man?

It wasn’t that he did not want to leave; it was just that right after they finished eating, he smiled at Ye Zhenzhen and said, "Now that we’re done eating, let’s go."

However, President Song was quietly warned by his own wife, "Song Jinze, you’re just here for a free meal, can you at least show a little courtesy?"

He...

Lacked courtesy?

If courtesy meant having to watch his own wife celebrate another man’s birthday, then he would rather not have such manners.

But the crux of the issue now was that if he insisted on leaving, given his current understanding of Ye Zhenzhen and the status of their relationship, that woman would certainly retort: Since you’re full, you might as well leave first, no problem!

And then this place would be left with Da Mi, a man who posed a significant threat to him...

Therefore, he couldn’t leave. Even if he was unhappy and reluctant, he had to keep a cold eye on that man.

Fortunately, the cake ritual ended quickly, and Ye Zhenzhen discussed leaving with Da Mi.

Song Jinze’s expression slightly softened. He stood up, reached for Ye Zhenzhen’s coat, and considerately helped her put it on.

Da Mi observed Song Jinze’s every move silently, hoping that such a man’s interest in Zhenzhen wasn’t just a whim or for show.

If Song Jinze could treat Zhenzhen like this even when he couldn’t see, then as her brother, he would be relieved.

All this still remained to be seen...
