A Max-Level Film Queen Takes on the Scumbag Alpha Script [Transmigration] - Chapter 13

A few minutes earlier.

“I’m so sorry! Guest, are you alright?”

The waiter’s anxious apology snapped Yan Shu out of her daze. She rubbed her arm where she had been bumped and shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Yan Shu turned to leave, her face devoid of emotion. But the scene she had just witnessed kept flashing through her mind. She hadn’t expected that by simply coming to find a restroom, she would run into Jiang Baihe in a heated entanglement with someone else.

She actually recognized that person—it was the Omega Jiang Baihe had been seeing before their marriage.

Long before they signed the papers, Yan Shu had conducted a thorough investigation into Jiang Baihe and knew everything about her past. She knew exactly what kind of personality Jiang Baihe had and had prepared herself to accept a loveless marriage. After all, they weren’t truly in love; their union was merely a mutually beneficial transaction.

However, over the past few days, Jiang Baihe’s changes had clouded her vision, making her believe the woman had truly turned over a new leaf and wanted to build a real life with her.

The image she just saw shattered those recent perceptions. Yan Shu couldn’t help but wonder: Has Jiang Baihe sent cakes to others, too? Has she given others flowers? If Jiang Baihe is good to me, can she be even better to someone else?

She was never the special one. Even if Jiang Baihe hadn’t colluded with those members of the Yan family yet, she was still just a player.

Don’t be a fool, she told herself. Jiang Baihe has never changed. The only person affected was me.

And yet… why did it hurt so much right now?

Yan Shu found a secluded spot to sit and stare into space, her thoughts tangled like a mess of yarn. Looking at the lively scene around her, she felt completely out of place and wanted to go home early. But just as she stood up, someone walked toward her.

“Oh? Why is President Yan all alone here?”

Yan Shu looked up coldly. Seeing the woman before her, a surge of irritation filled her heart. This was one of the female Alphas who had pursued her relentlessly during their student years. She was incredibly, incredibly persistent. Yan Shu had never had a shred of goodwill toward her and had rejected her many times, but the woman was like an unkillable cockroach.

She hadn’t expected to meet her here, and the woman appeared to be drunk. Yan Shu couldn’t predict what a drunkard might do, so she took a defensive step back.

“Move.”

“Heh.” The woman chuckled at Yan Shu’s words. Far from leaving, she moved closer with bold intent. “Is your Alpha not here? Oh, don’t tell me you’ve been abandoned?”

Yan Shu retreated further to avoid her, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. “That has nothing to do with you!”

She didn’t want to engage further and turned to stride away, only to have her wrist suddenly seized in a tight grip.

“You might as well just get a divorce!” The female Alpha’s actions became increasingly aggressive, appearing as if she wanted to pull Yan Shu into her arms.

Yan Shu struggled with all her might. “Let go of me!”

“I don’t mind that you’re ‘used.’ At most, you can just go wash off that mark. You’ll find out I’m much better than her… ugh!”

Just as Yan Shu was about to kick her, a handbag flew out of nowhere, whistled past her, and slammed directly into the person in front of her. Caught off guard, the woman was knocked to the ground by the impact.

Yan Shu stumbled, but was immediately caught and held securely by a strong arm. Before she could process what was happening, a familiar voice rang out from behind her.

“Who gave you permission to touch her?”

Jiang Baihe had arrived.

The air around them seemed to turn scorching hot with Jiang Baihe’s arrival. The sudden shift caused Yan Shu to sniff instinctively.

“Scorching Sun.”

The pheromone spilling out of Jiang Baihe.

Yan Shu turned her head in a daze, only to be shielded behind Jiang Baihe’s protective stance. Jiang Baihe’s face still carried lingering traces of rage, and Yan Shu heard her asking anxiously, “Are you okay?”

“I…”

For some reason, thinking of what had just happened, a wave of grievance suddenly flooded Yan Shu’s heart. She held out her arm, where a red ring had been pinched into her fair skin by the Alpha woman, and said softly:

“It hurts…”

Seeing the red marks on Yan Shu’s normally snowy-white arm, Jiang Baihe was about to explode with fury. She glared at the person slowly climbing up from the floor, feeling that the handbag she’d thrown had been far too light.

Unfortunately, this was a society ruled by law; Jiang Baihe couldn’t resort to extreme physical retaliation. However, battles between Alphas aren’t just about physical fighting—they also involve a clash of pheromones.

Jiang Baihe wasn’t yet familiar with controlling her pheromones, but in this moment, she instinctively released them, pressing down on the person before her.

“Scorching Sun” was different from ordinary pheromones. It was a “Symbolic Pheromone,” a rare type in the world. Unlike the usual fruit or flower scents, these are abstract. Just as Yan Shu’s “New Snow” felt like a winter day, Jiang Baihe’s felt like a blazing desert sun.

The scent of Bitter Coffee and Scorching Sun clashed in the air, with the coffee scent quickly showing signs of retreat. Jiang Baihe didn’t know that her pheromone pressure was slightly stronger than others, but seeing the Alpha before her trembling—seemingly unable to withstand it—she released her pheromones even more wantonly.

However, she kept the range strictly compressed to this immediate area, preventing the pheromones from drifting off and accidentally inducing a “passive heat” in other Omegas.

Watching the female Alpha’s pained expression, the fire in her heart cooled slightly. Just as she was thinking of increasing the pressure, she heard a soft moan from behind her.

Jiang Baihe froze. She turned back to see Yan Shu’s face turning pale, looking as if she were in distress. Suddenly remembering Yan Shu’s medical condition, Jiang Baihe immediately pulled her pheromones back into her body, not letting another drop escape.

But she wasn’t satisfied with letting the person off so easily. She tilted her head slightly and saw the decorative fountain nearby. An idea flashed in her mind.

The feeling of being burned by a fierce sun vanished, letting the female Alpha breathe a sigh of relief. She thought Jiang Baihe was going to let her go. But she didn’t expect Jiang Baihe to walk slowly toward her. Looking at the malicious smile on Jiang Baihe’s face, the woman’s heart skipped a beat.

She hurriedly shouted, “I’m sorry! I was drunk!”

Jiang Baihe smiled, but her voice remained ice-cold: “Drunk, are you?”

The female Alpha nodded weakly, thinking that since she had apologized, Jiang Baihe wouldn’t do anything else. But she never expected—

Jiang Baihe suddenly raised her foot and kicked her directly into the fountain.

The pool was shallow, only coming up to an adult’s waist. When the woman fell in, a massive splash erupted. Jiang Baihe leaned over slightly, watching the woman choke on a mouthful of water and scramble up. She smiled elegantly:

“Since you’re drunk, stay in the pool and clear your head.”

The female Alpha: “…”

Yan Shu: “…”
