Chapter 32: Playing Six People at Once
Gu Hua’s heart sank. Was Chi Qian planning to use this chance to make Brother Qian dump her, just to get revenge?! How shameless!
“Uncle, got any good ideas?” Chi Qian deliberately tormented Ling Qian by turning to ask Chi Fengxiao.
Chi Fengxiao thought seriously and replied earnestly, “I’ve always wanted to know what cow dung tastes like, but I don’t want to try it myself. Can you help me out with my curiosity?”
Ling Qian’s face went green, then red, then purple—putting on a spectacular show.
Shen Jiashu raised his hand: “Make him sing A Hero’s Song, but with the moves from Drunken Concubine!”
Ling Qian’s knuckles cracked audibly.
Chi Qian added, “Or after we get back, make him go to McRonald’s and order a hundred Uncle Ken’s Crazy Thursday meals. No leaving until he gets them all!”
[HAHAHAHA what kind of demons are you people?!]
[If regret pills existed, Young Master Ling would already be bankrupt from buying them!]
[I so want to see the punishment Qian Qian suggested—he’ll probably be beaten to death!]
Gu Hua jumped in to help: “Qian Qian, don’t go too far. It was just one loss…”
“Eh.” Chi Qian held up a finger. “Lose once, you’ve lost forever. No excuses—or you’re just a sore loser.”
Ling Qian grabbed Gu Hua, forcing words out through clenched teeth: “A bet’s a bet. Just say it—what do you want me to do?”
Chi Qian and Chi Fengxiao muttered together, their shifty expressions making their bad intentions obvious to everyone.
“You’re going to record a video on your phone—while wiping windows, call yourself a grandson—and pin it on Weibo for a month,” Chi Qian said with a wicked grin.
Ling Qian’s eyes bulged, his palm pressing down so hard on the table he nearly cracked it.
This was killing him from the inside out.
Those silly punishments were nothing compared to this—being humiliated online, his pride crushed underfoot.
How could Chi Qian dare do this to him?!
But with all those eyes on him, no matter how much he burned with fury, he couldn’t go back on his word. Swallowing blood, he stepped outside to record.
When he looked back, there was Chi Qian, right at the door with a crowd, filming him.
“Twist your wrist properly. You think you’re cleaning that window like that?”
“Speak up! Did you skip lunch or what?”
“Tsk, tsk, that figure’s so-so. Not even as good as a monkey’s.”
Ling Qian nearly choked on his own blood.
Comparing him to a monkey?!
Was she sick in the head?!
Once the clip was posted, netizens gleefully pushed it onto the trending page. Everyone tuned in just to laugh.
Tonight’s window-wiping was courtesy of Young Master Ling!
Maybe because his pride had been shattered again and again, Ling Qian sat there dazed afterward.
Qin Yue laughed. “Chi Qian, you’re so petty and vindictive toward Ling Qian, people might think you’ve got other feelings for him.”
“With someone who’s dated six girlfriends at once sitting right here, I’m definitely the most innocent one at this table.” Chi Qian’s tone was meaningful.
Qin Yue’s smile froze, though he quickly recovered.
When it came to his turn, Chi Fengxiao kept it short, “Nothing much to say. This round, Qian Qian carried me the whole way. Feels good.”
Shen Jing and his son laughed out loud, giving face.
Chi Qian added, “It’s my first time on a variety show, so maybe I didn’t do everything perfectly…”
Everyone thought she was about to get sentimental, but her tone suddenly flipped:
“If you don’t like me, go curse out my uncle. I turned out like this—what kind of good influence could he be? But if you curse him, then you’re not allowed to curse me anymore.”
Chi Fengxiao: “?”
[Film Emperor Chi: And so we drift further and further apart, until we’re nothing more than distant uncle and niece.]
[Alright, alright, we’ll listen to you. From now on, we’ll only curse Film Emperor Chi!]
[Confirmed—this has to be his biological niece. No one else could roast like this.]
Then it was Qin Yue’s turn. He put on his signature sunny smile, “This recording was full of unexpected challenges, thrilling and exciting, and it also taught me an important life lesson.”
He looked sincerely at the audience. “If you work hard, you can change everything.”
Chicken-soup for the soul, spilled everywhere.
Chi Qian looked at him with a smile tugging at her lips, “But kidney deficiency won’t work. Bad breath won’t work either. You really need to get that treated.”
Everyone on set: “?!!”
The live chat: “?!!”
Qin Yue’s smile stiffened under her gaze, but he forced himself to keep it up, “Thank you for your concern. I’m very healthy.”
“Oh, I don’t believe you.”
“I can swear—”
BOOM!!
(TN: In Chinese when people swear, they usually swear that if they lie, lightning will strike them.)
A clap of thunder crashed outside. Qin Yue’s smile twitched. His voice dropped, “I swear—”
BOOM! BOOM!
Two more bolts of lightning split the sky, blindingly bright.
Chi Fengxiao smirked. “You still want to make that oath?”
Qin Yue: “…It’s just a coincidence.”
Chi Qian grinned sweetly, “Even the heavens can’t stand it. They’re telling you—if you’re sick, get treated. Even if you date six girlfriends at once, it won’t change the fact that your kidneys are shot.”
Qin Yue’s eyelids twitched like crazy. His face darkened, “Chi Qian, did your family never teach you that misfortune comes from the mouth? You can’t just spout nonsense whenever you want.”
[Wait, I don’t even have half a girlfriend, and this guy has six at the same time??]
[Chi Qian, don’t talk nonsense! My brother’s pure and spotless—he’d never have problems like that! You’re the one who’s underage but knows way too much.]
[Back when Yuan Yaya’s scandal broke, I already wanted to ask—where exactly is Chi Qian getting all this gossip?]
[Qin Yue has been disciplined and upright since debut, no scandals whatsoever. I don’t believe he’s that kind of person.]
[Just wait, Chi Qian’s going to get slapped in the face.]
But instead of panicking at Qin Yue’s threat, Chi Qian calmly doubled down—
“So tell me, do you think your six girlfriends might also be watching this live stream? Do they all know that, aside from them, you’re still seeing other people?”
Qin Yue’s face went pale.
Of course… they didn’t know.
Chi Qian’s words were like dancing on the edge of his nerves, each syllable a dagger, “One of your girlfriends—Coco. Does she know that you skipped her birthday last week because you were on a road trip with Lanlan instead?”
Qin Yue’s body started trembling. His expression cracked.
Chi Qian leaned in, “And you’re planning to dump all of them eventually, just so you can cozy up to your manager’s daughter, aren’t you?”
Qin Yue’s vision went black.
Now he finally understood what Yuan Yaya had felt when her scandal blew up— Except this time, it was in front of over a hundred million viewers.
His career, his sugar-daddy lifeline—completely destroyed.
Chi Qian was right. Qin Yue’s girlfriends were all watching the stream. Each believed she was his one and only, loved him wholeheartedly. Of course they wouldn’t miss his broadcast.
And then—bam. A bombshell revelation.
Love might have blinded them, but it didn’t erase their suspicions. All his weird behavior in the past now became irrefutable proof of his cheating.
The six girls found one another, joined forces, and publicly denounced Qin Yue online.
The trending list shook once again.
Netizens nearly choked on this prehistoric-sized melon.
One guy juggling six girlfriends and keeping a rich heiress in reserve?
That’s enough for two full tables of mahjong!
Say what you will—666.
Think about it: the Escape the Idol’s Way livestream began with a top actress hiding in a wardrobe for love, and ended with a top idol exposed as kidney-deficient and two-timing six girlfriends.
And all of it—dropped by Chi Qian.
Netizen hot take: Paparazzi KPI template for the year—Chi Qian.
The show’s director was losing his mind, “Can’t you at least leave me one celebrity intact? Who the hell am I supposed to invite next season?! Tell me!!”
That evening, all the guests prepared to head back to the city center.
Gu Hua could barely contain her excitement. With her double halo and Chi Qian as the designated stepping stone, she was certain her popularity had skyrocketed. This episode’s true heartthrob had to be her.
As for Chi Qian… just a disposable side character.
Gu Hua waited eagerly for her family’s car.
Up front, luxury cars rolled in—two at once, followed by another four. The extravagant motorcade drew every eye.
“Brother Qian, are those from your parents?” Gu Hua’s eyes sparkled. “They really dote on you.”
Ling Qian, sulking all day, suddenly felt vindicated.
Especially when he compared himself to Chi Qian and Chi Fengxiao, who had no car waiting.
