After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 13

Qiao Yu was very unhappy and condemned the people spreading rumors online, but it was useless. The news had already spread everywhere, from the main streets to the small alleys of the capital. Even people who didn’t usually follow celebrity gossip had heard the news.

While Qiao Yu had always wanted to be famous and known by everyone, she didn’t want to be known as a pervert!

She wasn’t even an adult yet, and she was so close to being able to get a girlfriend!

After a mess like this, what parents would be willing to give their Omega daughter to her?

Qiao Yu was very sad. She couldn’t help but make a sad face. “System, I think I just got dumped.”

The system numbly asked, “Oh? Have you ever even been in a relationship, Host?”

“Say that again!” Qiao Yu glared at it angrily. The system, startled, quickly changed its tune and consoled her. “Host, look at it from another perspective—even though you’ve been through a lot, you’ve also successfully gained a lot of attention. So, by extension, you’ve successfully replaced Jiang Mei as the new female lead of this world.”

“Now you’re a person with a protagonist’s aura!”

“So a little rumor like this can’t hurt you at all!”

Qiao Yu thought about it for a moment and decided the system was right. “That makes sense. If a person isn’t horny, then what’s the point of them? How are you?”

It took the system a full ten seconds to understand what Qiao Yu was saying. One of its processors almost broke down right then and there. That’s not what I meant! I wasn’t trying to encourage the host’s shameless and lustful ways!

After being comforted by the system, Qiao Yu felt much better. She straightened her back and got out of the car. Sure enough, she was met with a barrage of stares from her classmates. Qiao Yu smiled slightly. “See, they’re secretly jealous of me.”

The system: “…I’m tired of saying this.”

Qiao Yu ignored all the stares and walked into the classroom as if nothing had happened. The moment she entered, the large classroom fell silent. Someone subconsciously looked in Jiang Mei’s direction and opened their mouth to say something, but after being nudged by their deskmate, they wisely shut up.

Qiao Yu followed their gaze and looked at Jiang Mei. Jiang Mei wasn’t doing her homework this time, but there was an unmistakable coldness in her eyes.

Oh, right. Qiao Yu puffed out her cheeks in annoyance. I accidentally ignored Jiang Mei’s feelings again.

Under everyone’s gaze, Qiao Yu quickly ran to Jiang Mei, trying to win her over. She said with sincerity and conviction, “Jiang Mei, don’t worry. As your best friend, I will never taste the sweetness of love alone until you’ve found someone! I’ll share both good times and bad times with you and face everything together. We’ll have fun…”

The air around Jiang Mei got colder and colder. Qiao Yu instinctively shut her mouth and stared at her, wide-eyed. The students around them had lowered their voices, and the dead silence was suddenly terrifying.

Jiang Mei lowered her gaze, her face unreadable. She sat there without moving.

Qiao Yu was flustered. She couldn’t help but look at Meng E, who turned her head away, clearly wanting to distance herself from the situation.

Jiang Mei was in a daze. The scent she liked from Qiao Yu lingered in her nose, seeping into every pore. Even if she held her breath, it was no use. Qiao Yu was right in front of her. They were so close that even a quick glance from the corner of her eye was enough to see Qiao Yu’s fair-skinned face, where her eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly’s wings, slowly landing on the surface of her heart.

Jiang Mei didn’t speak for a long time. Qiao Yu also shut up, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion and fear.

Jiang Mei’s heart was a mess. Qiao Yu had already clearly rejected her. Logically, she should be more rational and give them both some dignity. But every time she heard about Qiao Yu’s entanglement with other women, she couldn’t control the rage inside her.

She wished she could vent all her frustration and bitterness. She wished she could tie Qiao Yu down and have her all to herself.

But she couldn’t do that.

Qiao Yu was a living person, not a toy. Only toys had owners, not people.

She liked her, and she didn’t want to hurt her. She also didn’t want to scare her away with her uncontrollable feelings.

A bitter taste filled Jiang Mei’s heart. Everyone Qiao Yu met was more outstanding than the last. She couldn’t even compete with Song Wanying, so how could she compete with Lu Shangyi? The Lu family held immense power in the capital. Their businesses were in every industry imaginable and were so vast that they could affect the country’s entire economy. How could she ever compare?

A profound sense of helplessness washed over Jiang Mei. She opened her book, trying to hide her embarrassment and her pathetic inferiority.

Qiao Yu shifted uncomfortably in her seat, feeling like she was on pins and needles. Her gaze landed on the reddish corners of Jiang Mei’s eyes. Qiao Yu cautiously reached out and lowered Jiang Mei’s book. “I’m sorry. I made you angry again.”

Jiang Mei didn’t move. She stubbornly picked up the book and covered her face again.

The voices around them had completely disappeared. The silence made Qiao Yu even more nervous. She turned to look and saw all her classmates, including Meng E, with their legs crossed, watching her handle the situation. Qiao Yu squinted her eyes and gave them a harmless smile. “Is it a good show?”

Everyone knew that Qiao Yu was very protective, especially when it came to Jiang Mei, whom she treated like a precious treasure. Everyone could bully Qiao Yu, but no one could bully Jiang Mei.

If anyone dared to touch Jiang Mei, Qiao Yu would make sure they couldn’t survive in that school. Even watching the drama wasn’t allowed.

The others didn’t dare to test Qiao Yu’s limits anymore and reluctantly turned back around. Qiao Yu was very unhappy. She racked her brain, pulling every cell she had together. She said sincerely, “Don’t believe what those people online are saying. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? How could I do something like that?”

Jiang Mei’s pale lips were pressed into a thin line. It was because she knew what kind of person Qiao Yu was that she was even more uneasy.

Qiao Yu was so good. Everyone who met her liked her. Song Wanying did, and so did Lu Shangyi. It was only a matter of time before they fell in love with her.

Qiao Yu almost raised her hand to swear. “I promise you, it’s not what the internet is saying.” Qiao Yu paused. “Someone must be jealous of my beauty, so they’re spreading lies to ruin my reputation and make it so I can’t find a partner.”

Qiao Yu pitifully squeezed out two tears. “Jiang Mei, I consider you my best friend, but I didn’t think…”

She choked up. “That a trivial matter like this could so easily destroy two years of our friendship.”

Qiao Yu’s eyes were slightly red, and the bright light in them dimmed. Jiang Mei’s brow furrowed. She didn’t mean it that way.

Qiao Yu’s mood was low, and she slowly lowered the hand that was on Jiang Mei’s desk. “You can go back to reading. I won’t disturb your studying. I know I’m loud and annoying. Thank you for putting up with me for so long…”

“That’s not what I meant,” Jiang Mei finally spoke. She quickly grabbed Qiao Yu’s slender white wrist, her expression unconsciously serious. “I’ve never thought you were annoying.”

“Really?” Qiao Yu’s eyes lit up as she looked at her. “Then you’re not allowed to hate me from now on.”

“If I make you angry again, you can’t be mad at me silently, and you can’t give me the cold shoulder. You can’t ignore me and not talk to me.”

Qiao Yu’s brown eyes, filled with light like stars, looked at her. Her heart started to beat a little faster. Jiang Mei subconsciously nodded. In that instant, the bright smile on that beautiful face almost dazzled her.

When she came to her senses, Jiang Mei couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. She always subconsciously wanted to be close to Qiao Yu, to greedily possess that little bit of precious warmth.

Even though she knew in her heart that it was impossible.

Jiang Mei was finally no longer angry. Qiao Yu quickly said, “I’ll have someone find the person who started this rumor and send them to jail.”

They didn’t even consider how much damage a rumor like this would do to a minor like me!

I can’t just forgive these people, or where would the law be?

Qiao Yu immediately took out her phone and messaged Qiao Jinghuai. “Dad, are you going to do something about someone slandering your precious daughter online? If you don’t, I’m going to tell Mom.”

In his office, Qiao Jinghuai couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Don’t bother your mother.”

If I make my wife angry, won’t I be the one to suffer in the end?

Qiao Jinghuai wanted to throw his phone, but he resisted. “I’ll deal with it after I’m done with my work.”

A reply came back immediately. “Then hurry, Dad. My friends are already angry.”

Qiao Jinghuai couldn’t help but rub his temples. He started to wonder if this was a scheme by a rival company to ruin the Qiao family. Qiao Jinghuai felt a pang of sadness. His innocent daughter was being used as a pawn.

Qiao Jinghuai immediately sent the company’s public relations team to handle it. Qiao Yu also quickly replied to Lu Shangyi and Song Wanying’s texts. “It’s nothing. My dad will take care of it. Thank you for your concern, sisters.”

Lu Shangyi didn’t reply, so Qiao Yu figured she must be asleep. Song Wanying, however, made time to send a message back. “Do you need my help?”

Song Wanying wants to help me? Qiao Yu couldn’t help but beam. Isn’t this the perfect way for them to get closer?

This is a great opportunity for me to get to know Song Wanying so I can set her up with Jiang Mei.

Although she really wanted her help, Qiao Yu still pretended to be a little embarrassed. “I don’t want to trouble you, Sister Song.”

Song Wanying chuckled softly. “It’s no trouble.”

Qiao Yu sent a cute and well-behaved emoji. This time, Song Wanying didn’t reply right away. Two minutes later, a message popped up in the chat. “It’s done.”

Qiao Yu was curious about how Song Wanying had helped her, so she went online to check. When she saw that Song Wanying had spoken out in her defense on the related topic—”It’s impossible. Yu Yu wouldn’t do something like that. I trust her unconditionally.”—Song Wanying’s fans were filled with questions, shock, and anger.

Who is this little vixen? She’s secretly hooking up with our Sister!

And so, a crowd of curious netizens started digging into Qiao Yu’s identity. Within a few minutes, Qiao Yu’s personal information was all over the internet. Even the news that she would soon differentiate into the capital’s number one badass Alpha had spread across all the major forums.

Qiao Yu suddenly wondered, Did Jiang Mei also see that Song Wanying defended me?

She instinctively turned to look at the back row. Jiang Mei didn’t even lift her head, but Qiao Yu could clearly hear her let out a cold snort.

Qiao Yu nervously shrank her neck. She was stuck in an awkward position. She was afraid that if she moved, their friendship would go down the drain.

Qiao Yu gave Meng E a pitiful look. Save me, save me, save me!

I really didn’t mean to seduce her wife!
