A Heartthrob Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha's Ex-Wife - Chapter 15

Mu Yu’s hand trembled, and she backed out of the image. She did not know whether Gu Qiyou had seen that just now, so she awkwardly put away her phone.

Heaven and earth as her witness, she really did not have the habit of looking at photos like that!

Who knew what this group of people was capable of doing!

Gu Qiyou, however, had clearly seen everything. The look she gave Mu Yu carried an ambiguous, unreadable emotion. Her gaze was so focused that Mu Yu’s scalp tingled, and for once, her heart began pounding wildly.

Mainly because peeping into someone’s privacy was not exactly moral in itself. Most importantly, she had just happened to scroll to Chen Weiran’s photo. Such a clear face was right in front of the camera; it was hard not to see it. The two of them had exposed the parts above their shoulders and below their calves, so it was not exactly extremely inappropriate for minors, but the pose was truly suggestive.

“So now you can’t even be bothered to pretend in front of me?”

Gu Qiyou’s half-smiling expression made it impossible to see her true emotions. But from Mu Yu’s angle, it was obvious that her gaze had already started drifting away. The final questioning tone lifted slightly. It did not sound like interrogation; instead, it sounded a little like acting spoiled.

“Hmm? Sister Mu Yu?”

Mu Yu was one year older than Gu Qiyou, and such an age difference was basically nothing. Usually, Gu Qiyou had never called her in such a sweet and clingy way. Outside, she called her “wife”; at home, she called her directly by name. This rare intimate address made Mu Yu’s face flush slightly—not from shyness, but from nervousness.

“Li Shunshu and the others sent it to me. I don’t have the habit of digging into other people’s private affairs.”

After doing her best to stay calm, Mu Yu belatedly opened her phone and briefly showed Gu Qiyou the chat records. In any case, it was not anything too private.

She had to do what needed to be done, but Mu Yu did not want herself to become some ultimate scumbag stepping on several boats in Gu Qiyou’s eyes. She only needed Gu Qiyou to divorce her smoothly and find her beloved. As for taking blame—especially when it involved Chen Weiran—she did not want to do that.

The people in the group did not know about the awkward situation on her side and were still bombarding those two. However, their main target of attack was Chen Weiran; the person from the Chu family was only incidental.

That explicit photo of Chen Weiran had been posted on Weibo with the setting “visible only to myself.” Another person named Xiao Lai had used special methods to dig it out and discovered that Chen Weiran had secretly taken more than one photo. There were even more revealing ones, but for the sake of everyone’s eyes in the group, they had not been posted.

[Zhong Ling]: What the hell, did Chu Wenxiang get kicked in the head by a donkey? How did she get involved with someone like this? Chen Weiran should be someone she’s secretly keeping, right? Otherwise, with the Chu family’s upbringing, wouldn’t her family scold her to death if they found out?

[Xiao Lai]: Heh, how could they bear to scold her? She’s the Chu family’s only daughter, the future sole heir. [eye-roll.jpg]

[Li Shunshu]: Calling her the heir is an insult to the Chu family… After those two from the Chu family died back then, it was the family head’s biological younger sister who took over. If the one from back then hadn’t died, how could such a huge bargain have fallen to Chu Wenxiang…

Li Shunshu withdrew a message.

[Li Shunshu]: Should we go out and play? Sister Yu is probably filming right now and doesn’t have time to bother with us. Kuohai KTV, my treat. Coming?

The messages had all just been sent. Mu Yu did not deliberately hide them, so as long as Gu Qiyou was not blind, she could read them clearly.

The person Chen Weiran had latched onto was actually from the Chu family.

The Chu family was the Mu family’s biggest rival in the industry.

That family’s situation was rather complicated. Originally, it had been an enterprise created from scratch by two women. After they rose out of nowhere, they also faced many difficulties, but in the end, they still occupied half of the magnificent real estate empire.

Both women had been Betas, but in order to have children, one of them underwent genetic modification. It succeeded, and after they married, they had a daughter. Later, both founders died in an accident, and that little girl also died of a hereditary disease. The person who took over was the biological Alpha younger sister of one of the founders. She found an Omega husband to marry into the family, and they had Chu Wenxiang.

Logically speaking, the one who died was indeed the legitimate young lady. Chu Wenxiang had picked up a huge bargain. However, the Chu family’s upbringing had always been extremely strict. Even though Chu Wenxiang was already an adult, her parents did not allow her to casually date Alphas.

Alphas and Omegas were different. Being marked was a lifetime matter.

Mu Yu thought with interest that no wonder that person had come over so aggressively back then, wanting to ruin her. So she had become Chu Wenxiang’s lackey.

No wonder Chu Wenxiang had been “overcome with jealousy.” It turned out she had wanted to find a scapegoat to deal with Mu Yu. If Mu Yu had really been ruined, the old man would be the first to refuse to let it go. Chu Wenxiang was not stupid. When the time came, she could casually find an excuse to push everything onto Chen Weiran, saying that Chen Weiran insisted on taking revenge on her ex. Without solid evidence, they could only drag Chen Weiran alone out to take the blame.

Sacrificing one brainless Chen Weiran in exchange for her—this one arrow would strike more than a few birds. The only thing she did not know was whether her good sister or good brother had a hand in this. After all, a ruined Alpha would be even worse than an Omega. How could someone like that have the qualifications to fight them for inheritance?

Immersed in her thoughts, Mu Yu could not help letting out a mocking laugh. Then she raised her eyes and saw Gu Qiyou’s frosty face, immediately thinking, Not good.

She had only been focused on reading the messages just now and had ignored Gu Qiyou for a moment. Gu Qiyou had always been uninterested in these matters. She would only feel that something unrelated to her should be left alone, completely different from Mu Yu, who could still calmly eat gossip while being caught in the middle of it.

Because they had leaned together to look at the phone, the two of them were unintentionally very close. Gu Qiyou’s breath even fell entirely over Mu Yu’s earlobe, stirring up a burning patch of crimson.

Mu Yu’s constitution was naturally the sensitive type. Other people getting close made her uncomfortable, but perhaps because of that unexpected intimacy last time, her body’s instincts did not resist Gu Qiyou at all.

She raised her eyes slightly. The woman’s young and beautiful face was right before her. Even from so close, that face still had no flaws.

Gu Qiyou’s eyelashes could not be considered very long or thick, but they curled beautifully. She had no eye makeup on, so naturally, her lashes had not been deliberately curled with an eyelash curler. Her tomato-colored lips carried a faint sparkle that could only be seen under the sunlight, like glass candy within reach, with a faintly tempting sweetness.

If Mu Yu moved one step closer, perhaps she would be able to taste that soft, sweet-and-sour texture. But at this moment, the woman’s lips were slightly puffed out, revealing her displeased and downcast mood.

“I’m sorry.”

For no reason, Mu Yu’s heart softened. The moment she opened her mouth, she apologized.

“I shouldn’t have ignored you just now while reading what they were saying. And Chen Weiran’s matter really isn’t something I care about. On the third day after we broke up, I blocked all her contact methods, including her social media.”

To be honest with herself, this was the first time Mu Yu had ever coaxed someone like this, though she did not know whether Gu Qiyou would listen.

The air was silent for two seconds. Just as Mu Yu felt slightly awkward and was about to tactically go to the bathroom to wash her face, a notification sound from Gu Qiyou’s phone interrupted their awkward confrontation.

Gu Qiyou opened her phone right in front of Mu Yu.

“If you’re not asleep, may I meet you in five minutes at the flower bed sixty meters to the left after you go out?”
