Stepmom Male Lead Villain

Chapter 8

In the manager's absence, he told the supervisor directly, “You guys do your job, I'll leave now. I work the night shift today and will probably bring Yuanbao with me tonight.”

Yan Shuyu's privilege was approved by the manager so the supervisor didn't mind it. He even looked forward to it as he pinched Zhang Yuanjia's little cheek and said, "See you tonight, you are sweet."

And just like that, the mother and son returned home happily.

Yan Shuyu was young and healthy plus she was now in the food industry, naturally she did not need an afternoon rest. He only rushed over because his instant son had a habit of napping.

Arriving at home, the little one changes his pajamas, brushes his teeth and washes his own face to get ready for a nap. Yan Shuyu also changed and crawled into bed – is more fun playing on her phone while lying down. This was her last remaining entertainment since she became a young mother.

After lying down today, Zhang Yuanjia could not immediately fall asleep as usual. There was something on his little mind, causing him to be unable to fall asleep even after a few minutes of closing his eyes. Finally, the little boy turned his head, blinked his big eyes and asked softly, "Mom, have you met father before?"

"You still awake?" Yan Shuyu looked around, surprised. He said without having to think about it, “Of course I have met your father. Where do you think you're from? Do you think you're out of the rock?"

Normally, Zhang Yuanjia was a true sportsman and would laugh at any terrible joke that Yan Shuyu threw, but the topic about his father was too heavy for the little boy. He just couldn't laugh at that one. A little confused, he replied, "But I've never met you."

“Yes, you have. You just don't remember it anymore, that's all.” He thought about how his instant son lost his father so early in his life, and his biological mother was also active inside. At some level, they share the same experience. Yan Shuyu could not help but feel sorry for him. Not only did he verbally comfort her, he even put down his beloved phone and pulled it into his arms to make her feel better.

Under the gentle care of his mother, Zhang Yuanjia's spirit lifted slightly. He then asked, "Do you think dad still remembers me?"

"Of course," Yan Shuyu had no problem giving all sorts of props to her late husband. “Yuanbao is the one father likes the most. He will never forget Yuanbao.”

After all, a child is easily entertained. Zhang Yuanjia felt better quickly and became very curious, "Does Yuanbao look like a father?"

Does her instant son look like her late husband? Yan Shuyu was also confused.

Sure, he had memories of his original owner, but unfortunately he had no interest in someone who was dead. The fact that she had gone from being a single girl to a widow was quite difficult for her to accept; which was why she had never thought of the original owner's husband since she moved in.

Now that the little boy was peeping, this was the first time Yan Shuyu had thought about it. The father of his son seems to .... Oh my goodness, so handsome!

That all-important point suddenly triggered Yan Shuyu's curiosity. He put down a small dumpling (Zhang Yuanjia) and rolled off the bed before he rummaged through boxes and drawers and finally found a dust-covered marriage certificate in the corner of the drawer. She opened the certificate and in the photo with her was a smooth and handsome body and 100% beautiful!

Yan Shuyu was stunned. And in the next second, his heart ached so much that he could barely breathe. Her late husband was so handsome, he could at least wait until after he moved in and glanced at her for a while before she died…..

Yan Shuyu did not expect that even the late husband of the outlaw stepmother was a very handsome boy. She doesn't really envy stepmom luck, even though she's quite the winner in life. Her second husband Zhou Qinhe was already an A-class male god, and her late husband was just as handsome. One of them could easily attract thousands to tens of thousands of young girls. Is this stepmother a collector of male gods?

Yan Shuyu had her doubts. The villain's stepmother is just cannon fodder who doesn't even become the villain boss in the story. Her existence should be like a theater property, so why does she have such a comprehensive and touching background? That doesn't make any sense.

The stepmother's background doesn't sound like cannon fodder at all; in fact, it's for the main character!

Nevertheless, the end of the stepmother of the villain was predetermined, there was no meaning in wondering about it now. Yan Shuyu gently patted the shoulder of her instant son, who was very focused on looking at the photo now, before she painstakingly put away the marriage certificate.

She felt that she had a better understanding of her original owner's feelings now and why she stopped talking about her late husband altogether. He even went as far as getting rid of all his photos as if he never existed. There is only one explanation for her extreme actions – that she loves her late husband so much that she cannot move on, except by forcing herself to forget him. After all, even when she thought about how handsome her late husband was, she almost felt like she had lost $ 5 million dollars and her heart ached every time she thought about it. He could only imagine how his original owner felt.

She did not expect the wicked stepmother to be so fleshy and bloody and have a sensual and mortal side in her.

Yan Shuyu could not help but lament before she decided to follow in the footsteps of her original owner and lock down everything that had to do with her late husband. After all, he had already left and there was no point in thinking about him.

This was the first time Zhong Yuhuan had seen her father whom she had always thought of. Even though it was only an image, it was still a precious treasure to him. He leaned his body all over Yan Shuyu and did not even blink. As the marriage certificate closes abruptly and heartlessly, the usually strong boy looks up at his mother. Almost crying, she asked, "Can I see you one more time?"

Yan Shuyu was determined to pay a lot of attention to the mental health of his instant son as well as his physical health, which meant he could not help but explain anything to him like his original owner. He didn't want that to be the reason the evil boss thought that he never had a father so it caused him to want to fight over someone else's father in the future.

She thought about it for a while and said to her son in the most serious tone, “Yuanbao, mother showed you a photo of your father today to tell you that just like the other children, you also have a father. And, as you have seen, your father is much better than the fathers of other little children. It was a pity that Dad had an accident and was no longer with us, but it was his greatest hope that we would be happy in our lives. That's why you can't think of the fact that he's gone, okay? He will be disappointed on the other side. Yuanbao should grow up quickly and become a real man like your father.”

It is possible that the idea of a father has been deeply rooted in the minds of every child. Although Zhang Yuanjia had never seen his father except for the picture and had only heard a few things about him, his little face was still filled with yearning. Looking up, he asked his mother excitedly, "Mom, is father a respected hero?"

Yan Shuyu paused for a while then, finally, under the hopeful gaze of the little boy, lied through his teeth and said, "Yes."

Of course, her late husband was a vagrant whose life was inferior to insects, but she still protected the original owner and her son as best she could and changed the life of the original owner to some degree. If he had never run away with his original owner, he might have already been sold by his parents and his life was completely destroyed.

After they had an accidental child and lived in severe poverty, he was still trying to give his best to his original owner. The first thing he did when he became the little leader in the gang was to change the identity of his original owner to his current name.

Speaking of the name, Yan Shuyu felt that it was all meant after she moved. He had never met anyone who had the same name as him in his entire life. His name was chosen by his grandfather's brother who was a college professor. Many say that the name sounds very poetic. And the original owner had the exact same name as him. By accident?

It is indeed a good thing that the original owner can break away from his poor and ignorant family and continue with a new identity so that they can never find it.

In addition to the identity of the original owner, the two had been together before reaching legal age. She was pregnant before marriage. Both the marriage certificate and Zhang Yuanjia's birth certificate were challenging matters, but her late husband had taken care of everything. That was why Yan Shuyu did not need to worry about any of them after his migration.

From this point of view, he truly felt that the father of his instant son was an extraordinary man. Had he not died so young, he might have even been the big boss of a gang. That evil boss might have gotten an incredible descendant from his father.

If Yan Shuyu were to wail, Zhang Yuanjia, who was filled with longing for his father, would definitely be filled with pride. Blinking her clear eyes, she begged, "Mom, can you tell me more about dad?"

That little boy must know how to push that envelope. At first he only wanted to meet his father, now he wanted to ask about him. Yan Shuyu would tease her a little, but, taking into account her mental health in the future, she did not reject her request. He just brought up his condition, “Oke, but you have to promise me that you won't raise dad again in the future. We need to get used to life without your father and move forward. Okay?"

Zhang Yuanjia bit his lips and finally agreed to his condition, but even at his young age he knew what a fair exchange was, "OK, right, but you have to tell me everything I want to know!"

Yan Shuyu did not try to avoid it this time, “I will tell you whatever I know. Okay, lay in bed, let me put it all back first. ”

Zhang Yuanjia often turned around on the way back to bed. Yan Shuyu quickly packed everything back from the floor and put it back in the drawer before going to the bathroom and washing her hands. After he returned to the side of the bed, he saw the little boy struggling to keep his eyes open ^__^

Yan Shuyu could not help but smile, “Do you want to take a nap first? We can chat tonight?”

Stubbornly, the little boy expressed his desire to move on immediately. Yan Shuyu did not need to take a nap, so she did not care either. She leaned comfortably on the pillow and said, "Okay, you can ask me whatever you like now."

“Um...” It made Yan Shuyu slightly off guard. He quickly organized his thoughts and said, “Dad did everything for us. You were a baby back then, you needed milk and someone to take care of you, so dad had to make money to support the three of us. One day he had an accident at work and that's how he went.”

Yan Shuyu felt that he was very genius to be able to reveal the gangster's weapon fight in such a refreshing way. After his instant son heard the story, he lowered his head, sad, and said, "That's all my fault."

"Of course not. I love Yuanbao more than anything. He'll do anything for you.”

Your own father is so kind that you don't have to envy the male lead's father, understand? Yan Shuyu tried as hard as she could to form a positive view of her insta son on this matter.

Zhang Yuanjia was as curious as the other children. By giving him enough time, he could actually ask 10,000 questions. Her little mouth asked all sorts of questions and never stopped all afternoon. He even became a gossip in the end, "How did mom and dad meet?"

“Since we were kids. We grew up together.”

"So mom knew dad when he was Yuanbao?" The little boy looked at him, full of surprise, "Was dad as sweet as Yuanbao when he was a kid?"

To be honest, Yan Shuyu had not discovered the memories of her late husband's original owner when she was a child, probably because it had been too long.

Her original owner's memory of her began in the final years of elementary school before she began junior high school. Both the original owner and her late husband lived in a poor and remote village that had no school of its own. After the third grade, they had to go to school in their neighboring village. Every day they had to climb the hill for about an hour. There were not many girls in the village and even fewer went to school. Every day, when the original owner was walking to and from school, there were always some boys teasing him. Finally, he befriended Zhang Xiaolu, someone that most children tend to avoid, and he was never bullied again.

——

Zhang Xiaolu was milky white and delicate and usually wore clean clothes. He doesn't look like a country boy, but he's cruel every time he fights, which is why the kids in the village are afraid to play with him. Zhang Xiaolu's mother and father had four additional daughters before they had them, so he was greatly pampered. Later, her mother has another son, and she becomes a person no one cares about, which is why she has no doubts at all when her original owner suggests eloping. They both packed their things and left that night.

Yan Shuyu suddenly sat down after recalling this part. The original owner barely remembered Zhang Xiaolu when he was young, could it be that he was kidnapped and taken to the village?

To be honest, if one looked at the attractiveness of the original owner and her late husband, they both looked like they had been kidnapped. Yan Shuyu, however, did not doubt the identity of his true owner. She vaguely remembered that when she was 2 or 3 years old, she had an older brother and an older sister. Then, he had another younger brother. His family said they couldn't afford so many children that they gave up his older sister. They even thought of giving her the original owner as well, but her grandmother said she was so beautiful that she could marry into a good family, which is why they ended up keeping her.

The way Yan Shuyu saw this was – they had given her elder sister, if the original owner was not their own child, there was no way they would have kept her, regardless of how beautiful she was.

The situation around Zhang Xiaolu's family was even stranger. With all the girls they had, they only nurtured one of them. The other three were given, although some elders in the village said their families sold their daughters. After all, Zhang Xiaolu was the person they "prayed". Even if they had another son later on, it would not make sense for them to completely ignore the older one unless he was not their biological son. Take for example the parents of the original owners, both their older and younger sons are their precious babies.

Now, if Zhang Xiaolu was not their own child, then everything made sense.

The villain stepmother's background is getting interesting.

Yan Shuyu had only spent a few seconds in his heightened mood. After thinking twice, her late husband had already left; regardless of whether she was a biological child

Zhang, he won't be able to find his true identity for her. So, what's the point of being scolded for that?

Yan Shuyu calmed down and saw that the little boy was still flashing at him and waiting for him to answer his question. He smiled and said, “Yes, a father as sweet as Yuanbao when he was a child, which is why Yuanbao will be as handsome as a father when he grows up.

"Yes I will!" said the little boy. He nodded forcefully. Hearing the answer he wanted, he did not think too much about the mother who was about to come out.

After he finished saying that, the alarm clock that Yan Shuyu had set sounded. He turned it off as he patted his instant son and said, “OK, time is up. Let's get up and go to work.”

Zhang Yuanjia sacrificed his nap time to learn more about his father so that when he left home with his unwary mother, his clear eyes turned red as he struggled to keep them open.

Yan Shuyu, who was used to her nimble instan son, strangely felt that her heart ached looking at him like he was now.

But, as much as his heart ached, he could not leave her alone at home for half a day. Just three days ago, there was an accident in their neighborhood. A little boy was left alone in the house, and somehow managed to climb out the window. Fortunately, she did not live upstairs and she was instantly noticed; she was caught by some good neighbors with a blanket with just a few scratches.

However, the incident alarmed all the surrounding elders.

Now that she's an instant mother, she has to take responsibility. Even Yan Shuyu was a little anxious after hearing that story. Although the original owner had once left his son's home alone, it would only be a little comfort for him to bring his son to work. And, he got his boss' blessing to do it, so why not?

Of course, Yan Shuyu understood that she could not take him anywhere he went. There will be times when he cannot, but he will cross that bridge when he gets there. Maybe, one day, he'll be fine with it….

Thinking about it, he took his instant son and negotiated with him, “Are you really tired? Yang ge ge office has a sofa, you can nap on the sofa later. Okay?"

Zhang Yuanjia nodded like an adult. She wrapped her little arm around her neck and leaned her head on her shoulder for a while. After they got out of the elevator, she said willingly, “Bu, mom can drop me off. I can walk."

Yan Shuyu's arms started to get tired, so she immediately lowered them and the two walked to her workplace while holding hands.

***

The story of her late husband was just a little side story, Yan Shuyu had forgotten everything after she told it to the little boy. Meeting the male lead's father at the Dorsett Hotel is also another little side story that goes without mentioning. The combined effect between the late original owner's husband and his future husband does not rival $9,000 in his bank.

Being a rich woman instantly, Yan Shuyu enjoyed the happiness of counting money.

He is a naturally optimistic person. Back when he only had $200, he was still confident in life and toying with his new colleagues every day, now he has money and a fun job, he is, he was even happier and he went through his days in a very satisfying way.

Perhaps, because he was so happy that one day, tragedy struck him.

It was about 3pm on weekdays. There were not many customers in the store and all the coworkers took turns taking breaks. Yan Shuyu and the vice supervisor also played RPGs on their phones in the manager's office. Manager Yang was a noob, every time they went to the dungeon, he depended heavily on them.

And, since the boss was playing the game, Yan Shuyu could play as he pleased.

Just as they were rolling over, a fellow from the front called Yan Shuyu, "Yan-jie, your side business is here!"

The store had a performance time set at 19:00 before because they hired part-time workers, now that Yan Shuyu was here, they could not only maintain their regular performance time, but also maintain their regular performance time, they can further satisfy customer ad hoc requests, as these requests will be charged separately. Manager Yang generously told Yan Shuyu that this additional income would be his; and that the shop would not take any cut.

That was why a show outside of regular scheduled slots was a side business for Yan Shuyu. Even though he didn't need as much money as he did before, he had fallen in love with the joy of making money. When he heard the call from his partner, he immediately put down his phone, tidied himself up, and confidently walked forward to get his moola.
