My Son Has Grown a Brain

Facing Xie Li's aggrieved expression.

Shen Yan refused to suffer even the slightest bit of mental anguish. "You people need someone to take the blame even because you can't open a door? Don't come near Daddy. Get lost!"

What did you showing off have to do with Shen Yan?

[Although I really want to curse Shen Yan out, I have no idea what to curse him for. This matter seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with Shen Yan from beginning to end, right?]

[Lu Xingchuan's house. Shen Yan knew the password? Yet Lu Xingchuan himself didn't?]

[Lu Xingchuan couldn't open the door, so both he and Xie Li came looking for Shen Yan?]

[Shen Yan must have known the password and secretly had someone change it because he wanted Lu Xingchuan to beg him.]

For a while, the comments said all sorts of things.

Xie Li looked somewhat embarrassed and turned to Lu Xingchuan with a wronged expression.

Lu Xingchuan had reached the end of his patience, but could only force himself to endure it.

After all, he couldn't exactly tell the livestream that this house belonged to Shen Yan.

Didn't he care about his reputation?

That bastard!

Sooner or later, he would make him pay.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xingchuan was about to speak.

Pei Heng, standing beside him, said, "The villas in this area should all be managed by Oasis Property Management, right? I happen to know their property manager. How about we have them come open the door?"

"No need." Lu Xingchuan immediately refused.

If the property management people came and discovered he wasn't the homeowner, it would only become even more humiliating.

It was all Shen Yan's fault for changing the password.

Overcome by rage, Lu Xingchuan exuded an extremely low pressure as he said to the director, "I forgot this house's password. Even when the property management comes, it might take a while to sort out. To avoid delaying everyone's schedule, how about we change locations? I have another villa, though it's a little farther away."

Director: ...

I'm really going to die of gratitude!

What kind of show had to go through this much trouble just to film?

Damn it!

He must have been unable to hold in a fart when he went to burn incense at the temple yesterday.

That was why Buddha had stopped blessing him.

But at this point, there was no other option. They couldn't exactly rent another place at the last minute.

The director could only confirm with Lu Xingchuan, "That house can definitely be entered? We won't need to send someone over in advance to check?"

Suppressing his anger, Lu Xingchuan smiled. "That one won't be a problem."

Since that was the case, the group turned to leave.

Just as they were about to turn around.

Creak—

The villa gate opened.

Everyone whipped around.

Shen Yan also turned back in surprise.

He immediately saw his eldest mom storming out through the gate, her face full of fury.

With one hand on her hip, she pointed at them and cursed, "Are you people sick? Why are so many of you blocking my front door?"

Everyone: ...

They all turned to look at Lu Xingchuan.

The cameraman held up his huge camera: ...

Should I keep filming or not?

Lu Xingchuan froze completely.

Th-this person was... who?

Eldest Mom roared, "Not only are you blocking my door, you even tried entering my door code. In broad daylight, are you trying to break into my house and rob me? None of you are leaving. I've called the police!"

The director was about to cry.

Was filming a show really this hard?

How had they even ended up involving the police?

The director quickly tugged Lu Xingchuan. "What exactly is going on?"

Lu Xingchuan looked as though he had been struck by lightning.

How was he supposed to know what was going on?

He clearly remembered that this was Shen Yan's house.

Had Shen Yan sold the house? Or rented it out?

Seeing that they had fallen into a difficult situation, Xie Li wanted to show himself off.

He hurried forward and said sweetly, "Auntie, please calm down. There's been a misunderstanding. My friend may have remembered the address wrong and mistaken your house for his. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Auntie, are you renting this house?"

Xie Li had thought it through very clearly.

Whether this house had been rented or bought, it must have come from Shen Yan.

As long as this old lady said so.

Then everyone would blame Shen Yan.

Because Shen Yan clearly knew what was going on but refused to say anything, dragging everyone else into this mess.

But—

Slap!

Before Xie Li could finish, Eldest Mom raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"Who are you? How can someone so young speak so viciously!"

Xie Li was so aggrieved that he nearly cried aloud.

Lu Xingchuan shot Shen Yan a vicious glare, then hurried over. "How could you hit someone?"

Leaning against the door, Eldest Mom looked at Lu Xingchuan. "Hey, are you Lu Xingchuan? Isn't it written clearly on my door? Lu Xingchuan and dogs are not allowed in. Why were you trying to enter the password?"

"Because he said this house was his." Pei Heng had somehow come over. Enjoying the spectacle, he spoke for Lu Xingchuan.

Lu Xingchuan wanted to murder him.

"Pah!" Eldest Mom spat right at Lu Xingchuan's face. "You're really shameless!"

Lu Xingchuan had never suffered such humiliation.

His fury shot straight to the top of his head.

He turned and roared at Shen Yan, "Aren't you going to explain yourself?"

Shen Yan's melon-eating expression instantly brightened as if a spotlight had enlarged it. "I've long known about you being shameless. You owed me two million and only paid it back after three years, yet you still refused to admit it. Isn't that the truth?"

Lu Xingchuan nearly ascended to heaven on the spot.

At this point, he had lost all face anyway. He decided to go all out.

So this was how Shen Yan wanted to play it?

Then no one would have a good time.

Lu Xingchuan pointed at Shen Yan, pressing him aggressively. "You were the one who begged me to be with you. You said that as long as I agreed, you would give me this villa, and that the villa's password would be my birthday.

"Now, you hired people to put on this act here. Didn't you just want to see me make a fool of myself?

"Are you satisfied now?"

[So that was what happened?]

[Damn, Shen Yan is so despicable!]

[But Lu Xingchuan wasn't exactly innocent either. He clearly knew it was Shen Yan's villa, yet he still claimed it was his own.]

[Shen Yan gave his cheap ass the house already. Isn't it perfectly normal for Lu Xingchuan to think it's his house?]

[Perfectly normal. Take the house, take the money, then say you're not close and tell him to get lost. Let Shen Yan endure the baptism of online abuse. Your idol really has such great character.]

Xie Li stood beside Lu Xingchuan, looking pitiful as he said to Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, I know you and Brother Xingchuan have had many conflicts because you misunderstood me, but this is ultimately a private matter. Affecting everyone like this is really not good."

Xie Li wanted to stand on the moral high ground, huh!

Shen Yan would chop morality down right there!

And send him straight to the bottom of the moral valley.

Ignoring Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li alike.

Shen Yan only asked Eldest Mom, "Ma'am, this house is actually mine?"

Inside the house.

Second Mom, Third Mom, Fourth Mom, Fifth Mom, Sixth Mom, Seventh Mom, Eighth Mom, and Ninth Mom embraced one another in tearful joy: What good thing had their son eaten? It seemed he had finally started growing a brain!

Eldest Mom held back her excited tears.

Treating everyone equally, she spat another "Pah!" at Shen Yan.

Only, her aim was a little off, and the spit landed on Lu Xingchuan's face.

"You're really shameless. I bought this house a year ago. How did it become yours?"

Shen Yan spread his hands and said to Lu Xingchuan and Xie Li, "Although I don't want to take the blame for you either, it seems your attempt to show off failed, and your attempt to force the blame onto me failed too. This house has absolutely nothing to do with me."
