The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 96 – The villain and the male lead meet (1)

Yan Shuyu would never have thought that the boss would be the one who “put aside their differences” and stepped out to help her out. Her son was giving her a deadly stare, and she was so nervous and embarrassed that she did not know what to say.

Of course, she knew that knowing how the boss normally behaved, there was no way he was trying to help her out here out of the kindness of his heart – his chuckle was so abrupt because he couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next!

But the timing of his chuckle was impeccable and immediately captured the attention of the two boys who were staring at each other. Yan Shuyu, holding on to the proverbial live-saving straw, immediately explained to her instant son, “Yuanbao, this little buddy is Uncle Zhou’s son. The Uncle Zhou whom you have met at the hotel before, do you remember him?”

Yan Shuyu totally used the boss as the excuse for her innocence. But the little kiddo, upon hearing her explanation, looked at “Uncle Zhou” seriously for a few seconds, nodded in certainty. Who was it that said kids didn’t have good memories? How was it that her son was able to remember a man that he had only met once two months ago?

Was it the power of the storyline? Yan Shuyu was a little worried now.

As the saying goes, what you worry the most would surely come. As she was secretly sweating over it, “Uncle Zhou” wasn’t done yet. He got up and strolled forward as though walking through a garden toward Zhang Yuanjia and said, “Hi, Yuanbao, long time no see.”

Had she known the boss was such a troublemaker, she would have just grabbed her son and dashed the minute that he walked inside. The explanation of why she did what she did could wait. The most important point here was to avoid contact between her villain son and the male lead’s dad. Yan Shuyu regretted deeply, but the fleeting opportunity had come and gone.

If she was to grab her son and dash now, one of two things would happen. One, she would attract the boss and the male lead’s attention further. Or, everybody else there would think she had lost her mind.

Neither one was the outcome that she’d want. Naturally, she didn’t dare to act rashly. Consequently, it was now her turn to watch them like a hawk. With her hands balled into fish, she stared closely at her instant son without even blinking.

As “Uncle Zhou” approached him, Zhang Yuanjia cooperatively looked up at him and focused all his attention onto him. A smile appeared onto his little face and he said, “Hi, Uncle Zhou.”

Uh oh, that’s not good. Thought Yan Shuyu to herself. Her instant son was, indeed, most interested in other people’s dads, especially the male lead’s. Now that the boss was approaching him, he had forgotten about her own mother.

Yan Shuyu wasn’t going to just stand by and watch the plotline take over. She must do something to alter its course.

But before she could make any moves, little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned to look at her, then turned back to look at “Uncle Zhou” standing in front of him. His white and smooth little face struggled for a little as though he had a hard decision to make before he finally moved his chubby little legs and shoveled toward Yan Shuyu one step at a time with great determination.

The male lead’s dad might be good, but he still wasn’t as good as his own mother. The twists and turns in the development were certainly very touching. Yan Shuyu wasn’t someone who was good at hiding her feelings. When her son decided on giving up on the male lead’s dad and walked toward her, she couldn’t help but give the boss man a glance.
