Chapter 225: Ranking List

"Don't you want to watch the spectacle?"

"What spectacle?"

When it came to spectacles, Tang Can was no longer opposed!

"You'll find out after you finish eating!"

【All I overheard was Dad saying that having such a good meal at noon today was a bit of a waste, since everyone will probably be too busy watching the spectacle! As for what exactly the spectacle is, I don't know either!】

Before Su Yu's large private room had finished eating, the big screen used for communication lit up!

"Dear friends, I am Yan Songhong! It is my honor to serve as the host of this Ranking Banquet!"

Yan Songhong paused, and seeing the livestream chat filled with welcome messages and little gift flowers, revealed a satisfied smile!

"Today, we gather together to once again select the rankings for scummy men, scummy women, handsome men, beautiful women, diamond unmarried women, and golden bachelors!"

Su Yu:???

【Wait, isn't there something wrong with that statement? The one who paid for this banquet is Uncle, to celebrate Dad's recovery—how did it turn into this?】

Su Yu looked at Su Xi and Su Yi in confusion. They were both looking at their phones.

Su Yu leaned over and saw that they were watching a livestream.

In the center of the banquet hall, Yan Songhong was casting his phone screen up there. It was an app created by a group of bored rich second-generation kids, featuring rankings, social networking, livestreaming, videos, and forums.

"Friends, voting begins now. The first category we're voting for is the Capital Scummy Men Ranking! Please check your phones for the scummy men profiles provided by the scummy men themselves and kindhearted passersby!"

"By the way, for this scummy men ranking, as the one who topped the previous scummy men ranking, I will still be participating in the selection. I ask all friends here on-site and watching the livestream to support me and cast your votes for me! Thanks in advance, everyone!"

Yan Songhong said this with great pride! He was not old, yet he had truly achieved the feat of walking through a forest of flowers without a single petal clinging to him!

The number of girlfriends he'd had had already exceeded ten thousand!

He was genuinely scummy! But it was open, aboveboard, and universally known scumminess!

Su Yu looked at the ranking list on Su Xi's phone. The list was extremely flashy—the bubble for first place was a golden dragon, taking up about fifty percent of the screen. The bubble for second place was a flood dragon, taking up about twenty percent of the screen. The bubble for third place was a snake, taking up about ten percent of the screen. The remaining blank space had a blue box on the left that read 【Click here to view scummy men profiles】, and a green box on the right that read 【Click here for the full scummy men ranking】.

Su Yu raised her chubby little hand and wanted to tap it, but Su Xi grabbed her. "Kids can't look!"

【Why not?!】

On the screen in their private room, footage was playing from various private rooms that had agreed to video, showing everyone discussing.

Liang Yan and Tang Can listened to the adults discussing, and from time to time asked the adults beside them what certain words the adults on screen meant.

Su Yu found that Su Xi genuinely wouldn't let her look, so she didn't press the issue and leaned over to Su Yi's instead.

Su Yi was so startled he dropped his phone!

Did she think her dad had recovered too fast and wanted to bring a beating down on him?

"If you're bored, you can eat more. You'll be able to hear the ranking results soon—be good!"

Su Yi, quick-eyed and quick-handed, scooped Su Yu over to Yang Zhichun's side and even stuffed an unpeeled jumbo shrimp into her hand.

"Eat more, don't starve yourself!"

【Hmph, I won't, I want to watch! I'll go watch at Mom's!】

Yang Zhichun gently held down Su Yu, who was trying to jump off her chair. "Be good, Xiao Yu. You can't look at those things yet. If you want to watch, wait until you've grown up!"

"Alright then, I'll listen to Great-grandma!"

【Hmph, so you won't let me look? You think that'll stump me? Wulongcha, hurry up and tell me! The adults never said I can't listen!】

Su Yi:... This has nothing to do with me now!

Su Xi: You're really something! Number one at finding loopholes, huh?

Ji Yan: Our daughter's curiosity is too heavy!

Yang Zhichun: Xiao Xi, come deal with her!

【Got it!】

The phones of basically everyone present were playing this livestream, and Wulongcha quickly found the so-called scummy men profiles.

【Yan Songhong, the young master of the Yan family. He started dating girlfriends after coming of age. The shortest relationship lasted only one minute, the longest one month. He was rated a scummy man because he had the highest number of partners and never turned anyone away—he might take a fancy to another girl while still in the passionate phase with someone else. His highest record was having his feet on thirty-six boats at once. As for expenses during the relationship, no matter the amount, he never sought to recover them. But the breakup fee was extremely small—based on the length of the relationship, the minimum was one thousand, the maximum thirty thousand. His breakup reasons were also extremely bizarre.】

After Wulongcha finished talking about that host, the next one it picked was the scummy man with the most views at the moment.

【Lu Zhongda, the current head of the Lu family. He started since middle school—】

Su Yu interrupted Wulongcha's introduction. 【Wait a minute, just how bizarre were Yan Songhong's breakup reasons?】

【The breakup reasons provided by Yan Songhong himself include: his girlfriend's hair on the left was lower than on the right, his girlfriend's shoes accidentally flashed in his eyes, his girlfriend's breath smelled of durian the moment she opened her mouth, his girlfriend didn't hug him when she kissed him.】

"Mmph!"

Su Yu's mouth was stuffed with a peeled jumbo shrimp. She looked up, about to see who dared do that to her, and saw Uncle's serious face.

Su Yu wiped her hands and grabbed the shrimp.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

【Wasn't Uncle watching the livestream? Why is he staring at me with such a serious face, looking like he's about to grab the feather duster and hit me any second!】

"You haven't even finished your meal—what are you spacing out for?"

Su Yu wasn't spacing out; she was just listening to Wulongcha gossip.

Before Su Yu had figured out how to brush it off—er, answer—Su Xi had already picked out the dishes.

"Hurry up and eat. Once you finish, the results will be out!"

Mentioning the results reminded Su Yu of her earlier question. "Uncle, wasn't this a recovery banquet for Dad?"

"Right. Wasn't the morning recovery banquet grand and lavish enough?"

"Very grand, very lavish! So why are they doing this ranking now? Didn't you pay for the banquet, Uncle?"

【You're paying money to run some app ranking—how does that not sound like a huge loss?】

Su Yu looked at the things on the table. 【Just the price of these dishes alone isn't low, and add the cost of hiring chefs—even if you and Dad went up to be the hosts, you'd still be losing big, right?】

Su Xi picked up a piece of fish and removed the bones for Su Yu.

"I forgot to tell you, this APP was made by me and your dad, under your great‑grandmother's name."

At that time Su Xi and Su Yi were still minors, and they were sulking against their unfair father, so they didn't register it under their own names but signed a contract with Yang Zhichun, putting it under her name.

"Wow!"

【Uncle is awesome! Uncle and dad were really full of vigor back then, why is the gap so big now?】

Su Yi, feeling subtly insulted, says: "If you have the ability, just say it!"

Su Yi really hates this kind of life where one is scolded in front of others but can't explode; if Su Yu had the guts to speak up, they would have an excuse to give her a complete childhood!

"Let's see if she dares to curse again next time!"

Su Yu was about to say something when a piece of fish meat with a good spine appeared in the bowl.

"Eat quickly!"

"Okay!"

Su Yu thought, she can't look now, she's listening to Wulongcha talk about the candidates on the list, and later listening to Wulongcha say there seems to be no difference, so she buried herself in eating.

【Ah, this shrimp is really tender and fresh! Even better than home‑cooked! I could eat the whole plate!】

Su Xi of course wouldn't let Su Yu eat that much. Everyone was focused on the ranking selection, so Su Xi confidently turned the dining table's rotating platform, letting Su Yu sample every dish.

Su Yu, restrained by Su Xi, was busy counting how many vegetables she ate, completely ignoring what the boisterous Yan Songhong on the screen was saying.

In the APP, every time the ranking refreshes a small betting pool appears. In the pool are the "Scumbag Ranking" options generated randomly by the system or created by users. Users vote for the option they think most likely. Each ranking evaluation has a betting pool, and each user can choose only one option per participation.

A user who wins the bet gets a limited‑edition "won" effect on their account, lasting until the next evaluation.

Su Xi, while watching Su Yu eat, casually placed bets.

Opposite Su Yu and Su Xi, Liang Yan and Tang Can curiously gathered near the adults, watching their actions.

When Su Yu finished eating, the Scumbag Ranking had already been set. Ji Tianlin and Xu Mingyue, at some point, came into this private room.

"Grandma, why are you looking at this list too?"

Su Yu shuffled over and saw Lu Zhongda at the top of the Scumbag Ranking, not surprised at all. She guessed that Ye Shu and her uncle must have had a hand in it.

Yesterday she also saw the Hot Search that Ye Shu had caused.

#SavingInnocentGirlsIsEveryone'sResponsibility#

Such a provocative tag—who wouldn't be curious about what it actually says? Curiosity makes people click in. After reading, some curse Lu Zhongda as a scumbag, some praise his skillful tactics. The more polarized the views, the more discussion, the higher the heat.

Su Yu received a red‑envelope thank‑you gift of ten thousand yuan last night!

Xu Mingyue lifted Su Yu into her arms, "Sweetie, have you eaten enough?"

Xu Mingyue's gaze fixed on Su Yu's round belly, wanting to reach out and touch it.

"I'm full!"

【I'm really full! But I can still eat later! That shrimp was just too good!】

Su Yi heard that inner voice, put on gloves, and while Su Yu was concentrating on talking to Xu Mingyue, quickly peeled shrimp and shoved them into Big Brother, Yan Yan and his own mouth!

"Grandma, is this list interesting? Do you all watch it?"

Xu Mingyue rocked Su Yu and said, "It's not really about being interesting. The Xu family still has many unmarried juniors; do you remember your sister Mo Bai?"

"Is that the enthusiastic Mo Bai sister who hugged me?"

Xu Mo Bai, the first pretty sister who came over to greet them and tried to take her to see fireworks, of course Su Yu remembered.

"Yes, that's her!"

"What about her?"

Thanks for the votes, darlings~
