The staff member was about to say something more.
But Shen Yan turned around and slammed the door shut.
After closing the door, Shen Yan grabbed his phone and called his Big Mom.
It rang only once before she picked up.
“Mom, Mom, good mom, you’re my good mom! Only Mom Is Good in the World, a child with a mom…” Following the rule that you have to sweet-talk someone when asking for a favor, Shen Yan launched straight into singing “Only Mom Is Good in the World.”
Big Mom was in the middle of a beauty treatment.
The moment she heard the voice, her whole body trembled.
She turned to the nearby Second Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister, Eighth Sister, and Ninth Sister and said, “This is bad. Little Yan might have killed someone.”
Swish!
The nine mothers were instantly on high alert.
Big Mom steadied her breathing. “How many did he kill?”
Shen Yan: …
A question came to mind.
How did a mother with such a stable mental state raise an original owner who could kill themselves over a dog like Lu Xingchuan?
Clearly.
You can’t blame everything on the family you were born into.
“I haven’t killed anyone yet. I just have something I want to ask Mom to help me with.”
Big Mom took a deep breath and turned to her sisters. “Little Yan might want us to help him kill someone!”
The eight sisters said in unison, “Tell him to go die!”
Shen Yan: …
The family of origin does bear some responsibility.
“No, I wanted to ask whether the villa you gave me for my birthday this year is being looked after by anyone now. I want to change the villa’s password.”
Big Mom looked puzzled. “Didn’t you say that villa was us using money to humiliate your love? That you’d rather die than accept it? What now, you want to be humiliated after all?”
Shen Yan: …
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he still couldn’t figure out how to answer. In the end, he chose, “How did you know I don’t just want to change the password, I also want to paint a few giant words on the door: ‘Lu Xingchuan and dogs not allowed in’? Yes, exactly that. It’d be best if it could be done within twenty minutes. Thanks, Mom. Bye, Mom.”
…
Five minutes later.
Shen Yan came downstairs carrying his suitcase.
Xie Li stood there with a face full of regret, bowing to everyone.
“I’m sorry, everyone. Brother Xingchuan and I were careless for a moment and made a huge mistake, which dragged everyone into it.
“Originally, I thought everyone was hungry, so I wanted to cook something for everyone to eat. But Brother Xingchuan and I both forgot the requirements in the contract. The landlord doesn’t want us touching anything in his refrigerator.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.
“Luckily, Brother Xingchuan has a villa nearby, so we can keep filming the show. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to face everyone.
“You can blame me.”
Xie Li kept his posture very low. Since he said it like that, nobody would blame him.
They would only curse that landlord for being a pain in the ass.
A few rotten tomatoes and broken eggs, forcing them to move.
Facing Xie Li’s pitiful expression, Bai Jing smiled and said, “It’s fine. The fifteen-minute break is over anyway. Let’s just treat this as a game from the production team.”
Song Qianshan gave a low chuckle but said nothing.
Pei Heng raised an eyebrow at Xie Li. “Why do I feel like you’re calling the landlord a pain in the ass?”
Xie Li’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shook his head. “No, no. President Pei misunderstood. That’s not what I meant.”
Feeling that Pei Heng seemed to be targeting him, Xie Li didn’t dare let him say any more. Seeing Shen Yan come downstairs, Xie Li quickly said, “I’m sorry. I dragged you down too.”
Shen Yan was wearing gray sweatpants, a white short-sleeved shirt, and a crisp shirt over it.
He hopped down the last two steps with his suitcase in one hand.
“I heard we’re going to a new villa to record the show? I can’t wait!” Ignoring Xie Li, Shen Yan looked at the director with excitement.
Seeing that the guests were cooperating, the director breathed a sigh of relief.
Twenty minutes later.
Following Lu Xingchuan’s directions, the production team’s car stopped steadily in front of the villa gate by that private beach.
And then…
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared in stunned silence at the blood-red words on the gate ahead.
Private villa. Lu Xingchuan and dogs are not allowed inside.
『???』
『What does that mean? Isn’t this Lu Xingchuan’s villa?』
『It must be the haters. Disgusting!』
Lu Xingchuan’s expression stiffened slightly, but he remained calm inside.
Although this villa belonged to Shen Yan, Shen Yan had once knelt in front of him and said he would give him this villa in order to win his love.
Hmph!
A measly villa was worthy of being exchanged for his love?
A toad who doesn’t know his place.
If not for needing to solve the current problem, he wouldn’t even spare this villa a glance. He only felt that it disgraced him.
Lu Xingchuan still remembered the first time Shen Yan brought him to this villa, when Shen Yan personally changed the password to his birthday in front of him.
He stepped forward a few paces and, while smiling at everyone, said, “This house has been empty for a while. I didn’t expect it to cause such a mess. I’ll open the door, and everyone can go in first.” At the same time, he entered the password.
Beep, beep…
Incorrect password.
The mechanical voice gives a merciless reminder.
『…』
『Did he forget the password because he hasn’t been here in so long?』
『Were his hands shaking?』
Lu Xingchuan’s expression froze. He frowned and turned to look at Shen Yan.
Did that bitch change the password?
Or had he just typed it wrong?
Clinging to a sliver of hope, Lu Xingchuan carefully entered it again.
Beep, beep~
The mechanical voice showed no respect for Lu Xingchuan’s carefulness at all.
Xie Li comforted him from the side. “Brother Xingchuan, have you been away for too long and forgotten the password? Why not call someone at home and ask?”
Lu Xingchuan looked at Shen Yan with an unfriendly expression.
That bitch must have changed the password.
Sure enough, to get him, he would stoop to any despicable, shameless means.
Meeting Lu Xingchuan’s gaze, Shen Yan immediately grinned, showing his teeth. “Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and enter the password to open the door so everyone can get in. You already dragged everyone down once. You can’t keep dragging everyone down a second time, can you?”
Lu Xingchuan ground his teeth in anger.
He didn’t even care whether the cameras were on him.
He strode over and grabbed Shen Yan’s wrist, about to drag him aside and demand an explanation.
At worst, to solve the present predicament, he could lower himself and give Shen Yan a kiss.
But…
The instant Lu Xingchuan’s hand was about to grab Shen Yan’s wrist, Shen Yan flashed three meters away.
“I don’t want to throw up again. Stay away from me.
“Your failure to open the door has nothing to do with me. Don’t try to pin it on me.
“Get lost!”
Lu Xingchuan stood there, rigid with rage.
『If Lu Xingchuan can’t open the door, why is he looking for Shen Yan?』
『I’m curious too.』
Xie Li stood behind Lu Xingchuan and suddenly remembered that Lu Xingchuan had once said Shen Yan wanted to give him a villa.
Xie Li immediately said to Shen Yan, “Shen Yan, do you know the password to this house?
“Although I don’t know how you would know Brother Xingchuan’s house password, but…
“If you’re still angry about what happened with me, I’ll apologize to you, okay?
“Please open the door first and don’t affect everyone’s filming.”
Shen Yan would definitely fly into a rage and tell everyone: This house is his.
Then…
He would be scolded by everyone for using public matters to settle private scores, mixing public and private affairs, and delaying the filming progress.
