After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 12

He could understand that taking care of Lu Shangyi would cost money, but why did he have to pay for her friend’s love life?

Qiao Jinghuai felt that his daughter was going to be the death of him. He didn’t want to engage with her at all, and Qiao Yu noticed. She immediately put on a pained expression, clutching her chest as if she couldn’t breathe. “Dad, you’ve changed. You used to say you loved me the most and that my birth was a gift from the heavens.”

Qiao Jinghuai immediately had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Qiao Yu’s next sentence was, “But now you won’t even give me a measly five million. You say I’m your precious daughter, but you’re just toying with my feelings.”

“I’m going to tell Mom that you have another little darling in your heart!”

“You must be carrying on with another woman, and that’s why there’s no room for me and Mom anymore!”

Qiao Jinghuai was speechless. Do you think money grows on trees? A “measly” five million? It takes me an entire day of hard work to earn that much! He was about to leave, but Qiao Yu’s irrational accusations gave him a headache.

If she really went to his wife and twisted the story, he wouldn’t be sleeping in his bed tonight.

Qiao Jinghuai helplessly waved his hand in annoyance. “I’ll have someone transfer the money to you in a bit.”

Qiao Yu was finally satisfied. “Thank you, Dad. Have a good trip! I wish you all the best and a smooth journey!”

Qiao Jinghuai felt like today was an unlucky day. He couldn’t stand to see his own daughter for another second and vanished in the blink of an eye.

After Lu Shangyi went back to the room, Qiao Yu poured a cup of hot water and went up to apologize and console her. Just as she was about to knock, Lu Shangyi suddenly opened the door. The two of them collided unexpectedly, and the hot water splashed out. Qiao Yu immediately cried out. Lu Shangyi’s eyes dropped to Qiao Yu’s reddened hand.

Qiao Yu’s face twitched slightly. Although she wanted to pretend she was tough and resilient, she was in a lot of pain.

Lu Shangyi saw right through her act. She took out some burn ointment from the Qiao family’s first-aid kit. Her fingertips, coated in the cool ointment, brought a tingly feeling. Qiao Yu stared at Lu Shangyi’s hands and sighed to the system, “They’re so beautiful.”

Qiao Yu didn’t say a word, and Lu Shangyi looked up. “Does it hurt?”

“No, it doesn’t,” Qiao Yu said, her eyes crinkling in a smile. “It’s okay if you’re rough with me, Sister. I like you that way.”

Lu Shangyi was speechless. The system couldn’t bear to listen to her anymore and quietly muted itself.

It was a wholesome and positive system. How did it end up with such a perverted host who was full of nonsense? This was a true low point in its career.

After applying the ointment, Lu Shangyi looked a little tired. Qiao Yu, being both perceptive and considerate, said, “Sister Lu, I have to go back to school for evening study. Don’t run around while you’re at home alone.” She held up her phone. “If you don’t feel well or are in any danger, remember to call me right away.”

Qiao Yu stood up straight. “I’ll protect you with my life.”

Lu Shangyi stared at her. The close distance allowed her to clearly see the tiny hairs on Qiao Yu’s face and the slight mist in her eyes. Her gaze was too sharp. The other person shyly and nervously blinked, then instinctively shrank back. “Sister Lu?”

Qiao Yu guiltily looked away, her long eyelashes fluttering. Did she figure out my intentions?

Her heart pounded nervously. Thankfully, Lu Shangyi quickly withdrew her probing gaze. “Okay.”

Lu Shangyi returned to her harmless, frail-looking self, as if a gentle push would make her fall over. Qiao Yu loved this delicate look, as if she wouldn’t have the strength to resist anything Qiao Yu wanted to do. This perfectly aligned with her unrealistic fantasies about married life.

Lu Shangyi’s face was very pale, so Qiao Yu quickly urged her to lie back down on the bed. After scheduling a time with Meng E, she took a car to school.

The senior year of high school was demanding, but most of the students in her class came from wealthy families and were planning on using their family connections to study abroad. Qiao Yu’s parents wanted to send her abroad to “get a degree,” and then once she graduated, she would come back and take over the family business.

Qiao Yu was wondering if she should follow her family’s plans to go abroad when the phone she had just hung up rang again. She lowered her eyelashes. It was Meng E again. “What is it?”

Meng E, who was normally a soft-spoken Omega, was now yelling so loudly that she almost made Qiao Yu go deaf. “Yu Yu, in broad daylight, you actually made a move on Lu Shangyi?!”

Meng E was shocked. “Yu Yu, do you have any idea who Lu Shangyi is? I always thought you liked looking at beautiful women to cultivate yourself and improve your temperament, but I never thought you’d be so reckless as to even touch Lu Shangyi!”

“For our friendship’s sake, when the Lu family comes after you, I’ll try my best to get them to give you a whole corpse.” Meng E was speechless. “You know Lu Shangyi is Mrs. Lu’s precious darling. Now that you’ve ruined her reputation, they’re not going to let you off the hook easily.”

“I advise you to turn back before it’s too late. Be smart and take Miss Lu back, then personally go to the Lu family and beg Mrs. Lu for forgiveness.”

Qiao Yu’s mind was a mess. Before she could try to justify herself, Tang Shu’s call came in. Qiao Yu had no choice but to hang up on Meng E. “E-E, I have something to deal with. I’ll call you back later.”

Tang Shu rarely contacted her first. Qiao Yu answered the phone. Just as she was about to say hello, Tang Shu’s voice, full of shock and glee, rang out. “Qiao Yu, you can’t get out of this one. You’ve ruined Mrs. Lu’s precious darling. You’re as good as dead.”

“I specifically told you that day not to mess with Lu Shangyi.”

Qiao Yu was speechless. She admitted she had a plan for Lu Shangyi, but how did she ruin Lu Shangyi’s reputation? Qiao Yu was furious. “Who’s the asshole spreading lies and slandering my name?!”

Now it was Tang Shu’s turn to be confused. “This has already spread like wildfire. There are even threads about it online. You don’t know?”

Tang Shu was instantly disgusted. “You’re so shameless! You did this and you don’t even want to admit it? If someone hadn’t taken evidence, you would’ve gotten away with it.”

There are posts about it online? Qiao Yu’s vision went black. “Stop being so happy about this.”

“You’re just jealous that I get to have Sister Lu and you don’t.” She might as well just make it worse. “You’ve always tried to steal what’s mine since we were kids. You always intentionally take the people I like, as if you’re afraid of me being with other women.”

“Tang Shu, are you secretly in love with me?”

Tang Shu froze. “What?”

Qiao Yu’s tone became cheerful, tinged with a hint of shyness. “If you like me, you could’ve just told me. I wouldn’t have looked down on you. Why did you have to go through so much trouble to get me?”

“I understand your dilemma. After all, I’m so charming, and I’m going to differentiate into an incredibly good Alpha. It’s only natural that you have a crush on me. You know you shouldn’t pursue someone so close to home, and since we’re best friends, doing this would deeply hurt our relationship. But Shu Shu, you’ll get sick if you keep suppressing your feelings.”

“My heart is so big. How could I ever laugh at you for something so small?”

“I’m too happy to laugh.”

The more Tang Shu listened, the angrier she got. What is this crazy woman talking about? She was so mad she hung up the phone. “Qiao Yu, you’re shameless!”

Tang Shu was trembling with anger. She must have had the worst luck in the world to have met this crazy woman.

Secretly in love with her? Impossible!

Is something wrong with me? There are so many Alphas in the world, and I’d choose Qiao Yu?

How could she say something like that with a straight face?

Tang Shu immediately blocked Qiao Yu. Blocking her phone number wasn’t enough. Tang Shu deleted Qiao Yu’s WeChat and unfollowed her on Weibo. She didn’t stop until there was no trace of Qiao Yu left. But even after all that, Tang Shu was still furious. She crossed her arms, her cheeks puffed out, and couldn’t focus on anything.

Qiao Yu is truly shameless! she concluded again.

If Qiao Yu didn’t get on her knees and beg, she would never make up with her.

Even if she sent her a cake with a ten-meter diameter, it wouldn’t be enough!

Although she had made Tang Shu angry, Qiao Yu was still terrified by the news online. She had to ask the system for help. “Can you find a way to delete this stuff?”

The system mercilessly shook its head. “No.”

“Not even a blade of grass can be changed in the original world, or the entire world will collapse.”

Qiao Yu was speechless. What’s the point of this useless system? Leaving the useless system behind, Qiao Yu sat in the car, racking her brain. Just as she was about to ask her dear father for help, her phone vibrated three times in a row.

She picked it up and almost threw it out of her hand in shock.

Jiang Mei, Song Wanying, and the other main character of the incident, Lu Shangyi, had all sent her the same text message. “What’s going on with the news online?”

Qiao Yu clicked on the news: The tale of love and hate between the Qiao family heiress and the Lu family heiress: She runs, she chases, and neither can escape!

Qiao Yu: “…” I have never been so speechless in my entire life.
