Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 40.1

Yu Jin had an excellent command of language, enunciating each word clearly with a measured cadence, her tone icy and sharp.

Coupled with her ethereal, cool beauty and the fact that she stood taller than Wei Yang, her disdainful gaze made Wei Yang look like a clown.

Wei Yang’s expression shifted through several shades of emotion. “Sister Ah Jin, your words are just too harsh. It’s because you’re so overbearing that Ah Yuan is afraid, too scared to even communicate with us normally… I’m genuinely worried that one day Ah Yuan won’t be able to take it anymore…”

Even after such ridicule, Wei Yang still tried to maintain her innocent, delicate persona. Her tearful, pitiful expression made it seem as though Yu Jin was bullying her out of jealousy.

Before she could finish speaking, Song Yuan’s hand shot up, raised high above her head. “I love her no matter what she’s like! You’d better mind your own business! How we are with each other is none of your concern!”

“You… you two…” Wei Yang was left speechless, a torrent of curses swirling in her mind, but after a long pause, she managed to choke out half a sentence: “I was only thinking of what’s best for you… You… you’re just too much…”

With that, she ran off in tears.

Song Yuan rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit guilty. “Ah Jin, look. I… I’ve caused trouble for you again…”

“Don’t worry about it. But you, why are you being so timid?”

“I was afraid of attracting negative attention and wanted to prevent it.”

“And did you succeed?”

“…Seems not.”

“If you’re doing the right thing, why care what others say!”

Yu Jin, holding Song Yuan’s hand with one hand and Luoluo’s with the other, led them to a sofa in the corner and sat down.

Had the cameras not been capturing them since they entered, anyone seeing Wei Yang’s current state might have genuinely believed the two had mistreated her.

At that moment, the live chat exploded with comments.

[Wei Yang, just give up. These two are in cahoots, you’re no match for them.]

[Goddess Jin’s clapbacks are so satisfying! Sis is totally alpha!]

[Song Yuan, you coward, hiding behind Jinjin, what kind of alpha behavior is that?]

[Anyone with eyes can see Wei Yang was asking for it. What’s so great about trash Yuan that everyone’s fawning over her?]

[She may be trash, but she’s a coward too.]

[What a brilliant idea to send them back for a remake. If all the garbage in the world could be sent back, how peaceful it would be.]

[Trash Yuan needs a factory reset!]

[Jin Jin is majestic and domineering, a wife-protecting maniac, super alpha!]

[I have a bold theory: Could Yu Jin be an Enigma who turned Song Yuan into an Omega? Otherwise, why would Song Yuan be so timid?]

[Song Yuan turned into an Omega? No way, that’s wild… but not entirely unacceptable lol.]

[Do the right thing and ignore what others say!]

[Cool, celestial alpha & slim-waisted, narrow-hipped omega such a perfect match! Just thinking about it makes my nose bleed.]

[Screaming, writhing, crawling in the dark, who cares if they’re A or O? Just ship them!]

[It’s all scripted, all personas. They’re just fooling you, and you’re buying it. Laughing to death.]

No one expected that Wei Yang’s self-inflicted humiliation, Yu Jin’s fierce counterattack, and Song Yuan’s cowardly demeanor would inadvertently push the newly aired show to the top of the trending charts.

The director, thrilled, quickly instructed the host to conduct some light interviews with small questions. Once everyone had gathered, the first game would begin.

But Wei Yang had run off crying to the restroom.

Luoluo had eaten some fruit earlier, and the juice had splattered on her dress, so Yu Jin took her to clean up.

That left only Song Yuan behind.

Host Meng Yanyan chatted casually while brewing tea.

Her question was sharp: “Miss Song, what are your thoughts on the termination of the contract with LULU?”

Song Yuan raised an eyebrow: “Are you asking about the termination itself, or about me being entangled in rumors?”

Meng Yanyan’s eyes sparkled, “You know what I mean.”

“Completely unfounded!” Song Yuan replied coldly.

Her attitude was completely different from when Yu Jin was present earlier.

This was partly because Meng Yanyan addressed her as ‘Miss Song’ rather than ‘Ah Yuan.’

Since the other party maintained a polite and respectful distance, Song Yuan was naturally willing to speak honestly.

“But the public opinion hasn’t died down, and with Miss Wei unintentionally escalating the conflict just now, will Miss Yu continue to trust you as always? Aren’t you worried about a crisis in your relationship?” Meng Yanyan asked as she poured a cup of tea.

Just as Song Yuan was about to answer, she heard Yu Jin’s voice from behind: “No! I was there at the time!”

Although she couldn’t reveal the originally intended endorser due to a confidentiality agreement, Yu Jin was clever she only mentioned her presence, which could also imply she was there as a family member.

“Oh, I see! No wonder then.” Meng Yanyan poured another cup of tea for Yu Jin and plain water for Luoluo.

At that moment, the door opened, and it seemed the other guests were arriving one after another.

This time, the group was quite complete, with the original cast all present.

Ma Tianmeng flashed her signature gentle smile: “Sister Song, Sister Yu, long time no see!”

The energetic Yueyue also greeted them: “Sister Yuan, Sister Jin, you two are such a perfect match!”

Song Yuan and Yu Jin nodded in acknowledgment, while Ma Tianmeng and Yueyue found seats nearby.

As the space cleared, they noticed Jian Xi had already taken a corner, completely ignoring the four of them, not even bothering with the slightest pretense.

If it weren’t for the contract and the risk of breach, she wouldn’t have come to embarrass herself!

After waiting for a while with no sign of Wei Yang, host Meng Yanyan asked a few casual questions and had the production crew look for her.

When Wei Yang returned, she was wearing exquisite makeup, her slender waist accentuated perfectly by her dress. Combined with her unique voice, it was enough to stir endless fantasies in Alphas.

She seemed to have composed herself and greeted everyone: “Hello, everyone! Long time no see!”

Ma Tianmeng and Yueyue, both seasoned in variety shows, responded in kind: “Long time no see, we’ve missed you so much!”

Wei Yang also greeted Jian Xi, who responded with a faint “Hmm.”

Just as Meng Yanyan thought she wouldn’t address Song Yuan and Yu Jin, Wei Yang added: “Tianmeng, Yueyue, you two are so close with Ah Yuan, why aren’t you sitting together? When Yu Jin wasn’t around, we all used to stick to Ah Yuan.”

Her words insinuated that Song Yuan had a chaotic private life!

“Honestly, Ah Yuan’s CPs never seem to end. Aren’t you worried, Sister Yu?Wei Yang once again directed the spearhead at Song Yuan and Yu Jin.

Yu Jin couldn’t be bothered to respond, and Song Yuan hadn’t yet figured out how to phrase her reply.

Then Yueyue spoke up: “It’s natural for us to stick close to Teacher Song. She takes such good care of us on set, guiding us when we struggle with our scenes, and never acts like a diva. Of course, we admire Teacher Song. Should we become ungrateful and cut ties with her just because we’re off set?”

“Yes,” Ma Tianmeng also laughed. “Although Teacher Song is always surrounded by rumors, and we’ve been involved in CP promotions with her, it’s all for the sake of promoting the new drama. I believe someone as experienced as Actress Yu can understand and won’t misunderstand Teacher Song.”

Yu Jin nodded faintly. “Mm.”

She seemed to agree with Yueyue and Ma Tianmeng’s words.

Wei Yang choked up. Yu Jin’s attitude toward others was completely different from how she treated her.

“So it seems I’ve been overthinking all along, just being sentimental,” Wei Yang said, her innocent eyes welling up with tears. “I was the only one who thought Ah Yuan was different to me… but…”

“You only realized that now?” Ma Tianmeng said. “Hurry back and sit down; don’t hold up the show’s progress.”

Wei Yang wanted to say more, but the door opened again.

Bella, swinging her pigtails, rushed toward Yueyue and Ma Tianmeng. “Wow, I missed you so much!”

In contrast, Diandian stood at the door, stunned for a moment, then reluctantly shuffled over to Wei Yang and Jian Xi.

Wei Yang picked her up and sat her on her lap, but she could clearly sense that Diandian wasn’t happy.

[What is Wei Yang doing? She’s been fixated on Song Yuan, and now even Diandian isn’t close to her.]

[Jian Xi is in for some bad luck.]

[Wei Yang deserves to be called out.]

[Yangyang, let’s not waste our time on that scumbag Yuan. Look at the calm and elegant Jian Xi, she’s so beautiful!]

Comments flooded the screen. Anyone could see that Wei Yang was losing favor with the audience.

But some still defended her.

[Maybe it’s just the show’s script. Wei Yang might have been given a difficult role, and she’s acting it out dutifully. Let’s respect Yangyang!]

With everyone present, the host, Meng YanYan, turned on her mic. “Welcome back to the second episode of Intern Moms. All six intern moms and three children are here, so let’s begin the first game.”

“Just to clarify, the winner of the first game will have priority in choosing their room.”

As she spoke, the multimedia TV displayed the room setups.

Room One was elegant and comfortable, with understated luxury.

Room Two was colorfully decorated, full of energy.

Room Three was average, looking just like a chain hotel.

[Looks like the rooms are set up differently this time. Yangyang and Jian Xi would love the vibrant Room Two, go for it!]

[Let’s check the game rules first. I hope the production team isn’t playing favorites.]

[Yuanwei and Mujin are definitely going to be first!]

[If this round requires teamwork, I already know who’s going to lose.]

With a competition comes wins and losses, and the outcome determines the rooms. It was obvious which room was the best. As celebrities, no one would settle for the chain hotel-like room.

Meng YanYan announced the rules.

In each family group, one mom would be blindfolded and hold the child, while the other mom would guide the blindfolded mom through obstacles to the finish line. The team whose child remained unharmed and completed the challenge would be the winner!

Of course, if the child was hit by props, the first team to reach the finish line would still win!

Soon, everyone moved to the game area.

The ten-meter course was lined with various obstacles, likely to be placed randomly after the blindfolds were on.

There were also water guns, ping pong balls, washboards, and more.

[Who came up with this? Even a washboard is included. What, if you can’t win, you have to kneel on it?]

This challenge absolutely tests perfect tacit understanding! Who was just guessing about teamwork earlier? Come on, tell us, who’s going to lose?】
