My Nine Moms

The production team of This Is a Dating Show held the first game in a villa by the sea.

The six guests entered the villa one after another.

Xie Li and Lu Xingchuan walked in at the back.

Xie Li was still crying. "What do we do, Xingchuan? I offended Pei Heng right away. Will I get blacklisted? What's wrong with Shen Yan? Why didn't he tell you that was Pei Heng? He nearly got you to offend Pei Heng too. Could it be that Shen Yan is still mad at me, so he deliberately didn't say anything?"

Lu Xingchuan was feeling a little irritated too.

Why had someone like Pei Heng come here?

He only knew that the Pei family's business was now managed by their eldest young master, but he had never met Pei Heng.

Pei Heng rarely accepted interviews, so he did not even know what Pei Heng looked like.

That bitch Shen Yan was truly despicable.

He would use any means necessary just to get him.

Did he think he could return to Shen Yan's side by getting Xie Li to offend Pei Heng?

A toad lusting after swan meat.

Xie Li cried miserably, and Lu Xingchuan suppressed his irritation. "Don't overthink it. Shen Yan is just driving a wedge between us. You didn't do anything wrong. I'll find a chance to explain it to President Pei later. It'll be fine."

Xie Li nodded. "Thank you, Xingchuan."

[Little Li must be terrified. Pei Heng is really so annoying! I declare that he's the person I hate most in my life, bar none!]

[Everyone else is already sitting inside waiting for those two. Why isn't anyone talking about being late and apologizing to the viewers now?]

[Don't be so vicious. Little Li was only trying to help!]

[Shen Yan must have said something to Pei Heng, which is why Pei Heng misunderstood Little Li. I'm so mad! That bitch Shen Yan should die!]

The six guests sat in a circle.

Peanuts, sunflower seeds, and bottled water were placed in front of each of them.

The director held a small megaphone and announced the rules.

"Our rules are simple. We won't spin a wheel. We'll take turns drawing cards directly, for a total of three rounds.

"In other words, everyone will draw three times and complete three tasks."

Bai Jing raised her hand. "If I draw a dare, but I think it's too difficult and I can't complete it, what then?"

The director smiled. "You may forfeit, but one point will be deducted accordingly. Everyone starts with three points. If you forfeit all three times, you'll score zero. After that, today's accommodations and other tasks will be assigned according to the rankings."

Shen Yan immediately raised his hand. "Does the highest score get the best room?"

The director nodded. "That's right! The lowest score gets the worst room, so do your best! The first round starts with Song Qianshan."

Song Qianshan had no objections and directly reached out to draw a card.

A staff member took the card she had drawn and immediately revealed a mischievous smile. "It's a truth question. Song Qianshan, when was the last time you kissed someone? Who was it? Where was it? Note that this means a kiss, not a peck."

[They're going this far?!]

[I'm so excited!]

All the guests looked toward Song Qianshan. Her expression was calm and unruffled, without the slightest hint of coyness. "A month ago. With my first boyfriend, at my home. It was a breakup kiss. He cheated, and I'm single now."

After saying that, Song Qianshan glanced at Xie Li.

Xie Li had been looking at Shen Yan. When he sensed Song Qianshan's gaze, he hurriedly said, "Sister Shanshan deserves better. Sister Shanshan is so wonderful, yet he still cheated. It's his loss."

Bai Jing echoed her, "Right. Breaking up was good. The next one will be better."

[Fuck! I never even knew Song Qianshan had dated before!]

[But she never really built herself a single-person image either.]

[She's already an old lady in her thirties. She must have huge needs.]

[What kind of animal came in here? If you can't talk properly, get out.]

[Why did he cheat? Song Qianshan must have been fooling around with someone on set, and the guy found out.]

The comments were filthy.

Song Qianshan pursed her lips in a smile and said to Bai Jing, "Your turn."

Bai Jing raised her hand to draw a card.

She handed the card she drew to the staff member.

"It's a dare. Bai Jing, please compare yourself with one of the guests present until you win. If you fail to outdo them, it will count as a failure, and one point will be deducted."

Bai Jing immediately wailed, "What kind of messed-up dare is this? I can't beat President Pei in wealth, and I can't beat Sister Shanshan in looks."

The staff member kindly reminded her, "You can forfeit too."

Bai Jing's rebellious streak flared up. "No. I want to compete."

She thought for a moment, then said to everyone, "I have a lot of moms. My dad has been married eight times. Counting my birth mother and stepmothers, I have eight moms. Does anyone have more than me?"

Pfft!

Xie Li was the first to laugh. "Can't compete with that."

But then he looked at Shen Yan. "However, Sister Shanshan might lose this round. I seem to have heard that Shen Yan's dad has been married several times too."

Afraid Shen Yan would refuse to tell the truth, Xie Li turned to Lu Xingchuan again. "Xingchuan, do you remember?"

Lu Xingchuan played along. "Around ten times, I think. I'm not too sure either."

[I suddenly find Xie Li so annoying. Why bring up someone else's privacy so casually?]

[What kind of passerby are you pretending to be, hater? Get lost. You don't deserve to like Little Li.]

[Trash like Shen Yan probably has a dad who's no good either!]

Everyone looked toward Shen Yan.

Bai Jing was afraid Shen Yan would feel embarrassed and was about to smooth things over when Shen Yan leaped to his feet, his face full of pride.

"I have nine moms! Sister Bai Jing, you lost!"

Xie Li immediately said, "Shen Yan, don't be too upset. The past is all in the past."

Shen Yan looked at Xie Li in shock. "Three years ago, I refused to listen to my dad and insisted on lending Lu Xingchuan two million. My dad kicked me out of the family. These past few years, my nine moms have supported me. Why should I put the past behind me?

"You borrowed money from me, didn't thank me, and now you want me to turn the page?"

Lu Xingchuan had not expected Shen Yan to mention those two million in public. His face instantly darkened, with a flush of red beneath the blackness.

Xie Li had originally wanted to mock Shen Yan, but instead got hit with several retorts. Unable to save face, he said awkwardly, "I didn't mean anything else. I was just worried you'd be upset and wanted to comfort you."

Pei Heng looked at Xie Li with intensely sincere disbelief.

"The corners of his mouth are practically reaching behind his ears from how happy he is. How exactly did you see that he was upset?

"If he closes his eyes to sleep tomorrow, will you be able to tell that he's already buried too?

"You really are something else!"

Xie Li was on the verge of tears. "I didn't mean that."

[I hate Pei Heng so much. He's trash who bullies people with his power!]

[But he wasn't wrong. Shen Yan was genuinely smiling excitedly when he mentioned his nine moms. He didn't look upset at all.]

[Am I the only one focused on the fact that Lu Xingchuan really borrowed two million from Shen Yan? Then what was that Weibo clarification about yesterday?]

[You believe Shen Yan's nonsense? Trash is trash.]

Xie Li said he had not meant that.

Shen Yan abruptly turned to Lu Xingchuan. "Then you did mean it? Three years ago, you borrowed two million from me, and today you want me to turn the page?"

You changed my Weibo account and wrote a fake apology letter in my name, right?

Come on, then!

Let's play!
