A Vicious Female Rival Omega is Sweet and Soft - Chapter 4

People always say drunk people are heavier than pigs, and that saying really was not wrong.

Even though Shen Qingran’s figure was already on the slim side, Ye Yixi still spent quite a bit of effort supporting her out of Xishe Restaurant by herself. Not a single part of Shen Qingran’s body was using any strength. She was soft and boneless all over, hanging against Ye Yixi.

Ye Yixi really had not expected that half a glass of wine could make someone this drunk. If Shen Qingran drank like this alone outside, it would truly be quite dangerous. Next time, she definitely would not persuade her to drink again!

Fortunately, Ye Yixi was an Alpha in this world, so her physical strength was naturally better than an average person’s. Otherwise, she really might not have been able to drag Shen Qingran along.

When she threw Shen Qingran into the back seat of the car, Ye Yixi followed her in and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The driver glanced at them a few times through the rearview mirror, smiling with an expression that said, “I understand.”

Ye Yixi almost got goosebumps from being looked at. It was all the original owner’s fault for being so widely known as a scumbag. These subordinates were already completely used to this kind of thing!

Shen Qingran slept deeply with her head resting on Ye Yixi’s shoulder. Her messy hair covered half her face. The driver probably had not recognized that this person was the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Ye Yixi tilted her head and could not help looking at her. The drunk Shen Qingran no longer had that overbearing aura at all. Her quiet appearance was especially obedient. From this angle, Ye Yixi could see her high, delicate nose bridge and beautiful lip shape…

The image of kissing Shen Qingran instantly flashed through her mind, making Ye Yixi shiver all over. Although that matter had been done by the original owner, she still felt inexplicably embarrassed. So she withdrew her gaze, cleared her throat, and even moved a little farther to the side.

They finally returned home. The sky had also gradually darkened.

Ye Yixi directly placed Shen Qingran in the guest room on the first floor. She really was too lazy to climb all three floors. She originally wanted to get Shen Qingran a warm towel or something to wipe her face, but the system kept giving OOC warnings. Having no choice, Ye Yixi casually tossed a blanket over her and planned to leave immediately.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Shen Qingran regained a bit of consciousness and began mumbling something in a daze. Ye Yixi turned back curiously and crouched beside the bed, wanting to hear what she was saying.

“Candy… give me candy…”

Ye Yixi moved a little closer and heard those words. At some point, the corner of her clothes had also been grabbed in Shen Qingran’s hand.

She laughed silently.

Why was this Miss Shen so much like a child?

The next day, Ye Yixi was woken up by a burst of urgent knocking.

Her irritated morning temper completely disappeared the moment she opened the door, because Shen Qingran was standing at the entrance of her room, hugging a pillow with a furious expression. Clearly, she had come to demand an explanation.

“Let me state this first. I didn’t do anything to you. You passed out drunk at the restaurant yesterday, and I kindly let you stay here for one night.”

Ye Yixi was still sleepy-eyed. She yawned and spoke before Shen Qingran could, actually managing to block her words.

Shen Qingran looked Ye Yixi up and down with a suspicious expression. Then she leaned closer and sniffed around Ye Yixi’s neck like a curious cat. Only after confirming that there was no scent of aroused pheromones floating around did she nod in relief.

“Ye Yixi, I’m warning you. Stay away from me.”

After leaving behind that domineering sentence, Miss Shen clicked away in her high heels, leaving Ye Yixi’s villa. She had also somehow pulled a piece of torn cloth from somewhere in Ye Yixi’s house and half-covered her head with it, as if she were afraid of being recognized.

Ye Yixi watched Shen Qingran sneakily flee and was instantly a little speechless.

Was this really the vicious female supporting character of this novel?

Why did she look like her brain did not work very well…

Three days quickly passed.

The new main mission required Ye Yixi to go to S Entertainment’s headquarters today and help the female lead, Zhen Xiaobai, out of trouble. The reward was 2 points.

Ye Yixi looked at the WeChat chat box where the assistant in charge of her schedule had sent over the documents. On the way there, the system told her that today was the day S Entertainment would select the female lead for a movie.

It was a xianxia movie with an investment of several hundred million. Many candidates from all over the country had already been eliminated, and today was basically the final decision. Y Group had invested half of the money into this movie as well. It was a deeply cooperative project, so Ye Yixi, who was in charge of this project, needed to arrive on-site and finalize the choice of female lead together with them.

And today, Zhen Xiaobai would participate in the role selection at S Entertainment’s headquarters.

S Entertainment was such a large star-making company, yet instead of promoting the newly signed actresses under its own name, it was actually holding auditions among so many amateurs with no acting experience?

As expected, all plot developments were merely paving the way for the female lead’s counterattack.

When Ye Yixi entered the selection venue, the first person she saw was Shen Qingran. So she smoothed her hair, picked up her little Chanel-style bag, and deliberately swayed her waist as she sat beside Shen Qingran, who was also an investor.

She suddenly felt that going against Shen Qingran was actually quite interesting.

Sure enough, she received an eye roll from the other party. Ye Yixi almost laughed out loud. She half-covered her face and tried hard to control her expression. After carefully looking around and noticing that no one was paying attention to her, she wanted to continue chatting with Shen Qingran.

But heaven did not give her that chance, because the themed audition performances began.

Since it was already the final round, there were not many people left after the screening, probably only a dozen or so. These newcomers entered one after another according to their numbers. Ye Yixi saw Zhen Xiaobai near the back of the line.

This performance was divided into three themes. They needed to act out different stages of the protagonist’s life, and the person with the highest overall score would play the female lead in this big-budget xianxia movie.

The setting of this movie was a master-disciple romance. The actor for the master had already been decided: a currently popular rising young actress. What they were competing for was the role of the disciple.

Ye Yixi really did not understand much about acting, but even if she had never eaten pork, she had still seen pigs run. She had watched plenty of TV dramas at home before, so when these people performed, they actually exceeded her expectations. Their expressions and line delivery were surprisingly decent. As expected of people selected from so many candidates nationwide, they really did have something.

As each performance repeated before Ye Yixi’s eyes, she had found it quite interesting at first. But gradually, her eyelids started fighting, and she became sleepy.

It was only when Zhen Xiaobai appeared that she perked up and watched seriously.

All of these changes in her expression were completely taken in by Shen Qingran.

“Master, when you abandoned me beneath Bone Cliff in the past, did you ever think that one day, you would kneel before your disciple and be at my mercy?”

Her gaze was filled with resentment, yet also mixed with attachment. She performed the complicated feelings of this demonized disciple toward her master with vivid depth.

Ye Yixi was truly impressed.

She really had not expected that the silly and clumsy Zhen Xiaobai actually had this level of skill. Was this the female lead halo? Her acting talent had practically been maxed out.

After several rounds, both the acting judges and the other investor shareholders gave Zhen Xiaobai very high evaluations. If nothing unexpected happened, the female lead of this xianxia movie should undoubtedly be Zhen Xiaobai.

So what exactly was there for Ye Yixi to help her out of?

During the intermission, Ye Yixi was very confused. But trouble soon arrived.

An Omega who had been auditioning in the same group reported to the organizers that Zhen Xiaobai had stolen a wallet. And that wallet just happened to belong to Shen Qingran.

Ye Yixi felt the plot gradually beginning to push forward. The character lines were slowly becoming entangled.

Actually, in the early stage, Shen Qingran had not really made things difficult for the female lead. But it was precisely these small incidents, one after another, that caused the grudge between them. Of course, the most important reason Shen Qingran would later turn evil was that they fell in love with the same Alpha: Zhen Xiaobai’s official love interest. This was something Ye Yixi had seen before in the original synopsis.

At this moment, the person who reported the matter was grabbing Zhen Xiaobai’s wrist with one hand and pulling open the zipper of her shoulder bag with the other. Everyone was watching this scene. A pretty pink wallet was revealed.

“I didn’t steal the wallet! I wasn’t the one who put it in there!”

“Miss Shen’s wallet is in your shoulder bag. If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be?”

The accuser was aggressive, looking as if she had caught Zhen Xiaobai red-handed. Zhen Xiaobai was so anxious that she did not know what to say and could only keep denying it.

If such a morally corrupt act were proven true, then Zhen Xiaobai’s role as the female lead of the movie would probably be gone.

Shen Qingran raised her brows and slowly walked over. Her aura was powerful, instantly making the two newcomers in front of her close their endlessly chattering mouths.

She looked at the wallet inside Zhen Xiaobai’s shoulder bag. It was indeed the one she had brought out today. She held it in her hand and waved it at Zhen Xiaobai.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

She clearly looked as if she already believed it.

…

Ye Yixi looked at this ancient frame-up scene in front of her and, for a moment, did not know what to say. It really felt like her intelligence was being stomped into the ground.

But it was also about time for her to appear.

“How can you make such a careless conclusion based only on one person’s side of the story?”

“Oh? Then may I ask what brilliant opinion Miss Ye has?”

Shen Qingran crossed her arms and looked at Ye Yixi with an unclear meaning in her eyes. For some reason, that gaze made Ye Yixi feel a little… guilty?

Ye Yixi cleared her throat, then stood up as well. Her expression was casual and indifferent.

“In this kind of place, cameras are everywhere. Wouldn’t we know who’s lying just by checking the surveillance footage?”

The moment these words came out, everyone revealed expressions of sudden realization, as if this had exceeded their expectations yet was also perfectly reasonable.

Hehe. As Ye Yixi had expected, in this extremely brainless Mary Sue novel, saying such a realistic, logical, and simple method out loud would definitely shock these people.

After all, according to the usual routine, the female lead would definitely be successfully framed by this idiotic trap, leading to a series of conflicts with the female supporting character afterward.

Everyone present froze for a few seconds, including Shen Qingran.

Immediately afterward, the building’s security personnel began checking the surveillance footage. In less than ten minutes, the image of the accuser secretly putting Shen Qingran’s wallet into Zhen Xiaobai’s shoulder bag was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

At this point, the truth was revealed, and Zhen Xiaobai successfully won the female lead role.

“Kind person, I remember you! You helped me a lot again. I really don’t know how to thank you!”

“It’s nothing. Just a small effort.”

As the system notification informed her that she had obtained 2 points, Ye Yixi felt that her relationship with the female lead had taken another step forward.

Could she begin some strategy next…?

She smiled as she watched Zhen Xiaobai go thank the other judges. But then, a faint sentence drifted into her ear.

“Miss Ye’s level of concern for this person really exceeds my expectations…”

Looking at Shen Qingran’s retreating figure as she clicked away in her high heels, Ye Yixi carefully savored those words.

Why did she feel like there was a strange… sourness to them?
