After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 16

Jiang Mei looked at her with confusion and then pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

“I only saw you once a few days ago.”

She was referring to the day she went to see Song Wanying.

That day, Qiao Yu seemed to be enchanted by Lu Shangyi, throwing them all aside and running after her.

From that day on, Jiang Mei had remembered Lu Shangyi’s appearance.

She thought Lu Shangyi must have also remembered her because of that day.

I’m an orphan with no parents and no close relatives except my aunt’s family.

Qiao Yu couldn’t read the meaning behind Lu Shangyi’s expression.

Qiao Yu fell silent, trying to figure out what Lu Shangyi meant.

A subtle sense of alarm rose in her heart.

She looked at Lu Shangyi’s calm face and then at the equally confused Jiang Mei.

She silently comforted herself.

Even though Jiang Mei is the female lead, it’s not like every powerful person she meets will be completely smitten with her.

This isn’t a harem story.

Qiao Yu nonchalantly stepped between them, blocking their seemingly intimate gazes.

“You must be tired.

Get some rest.

I’ll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning, and we can eat together.”

Jiang Mei quietly agreed and took one last look at Lu Shangyi, who was standing with her hands in her pockets.

She stood there quietly in the dim light.

Her face wasn’t completely clear, but her tall figure, porcelain-white skin, and chiseled features were an undeniable and dazzling presence.

Some people are captivating even when they’re just standing there.

Lu Shangyi was one of those people.

Her noble presence was something no one could imitate.

Qiao Yu stared at the resting Lu Shangyi with a pout.

Her voice was full of grievance.

“Sister Lu is really popular.”

The system heard her and tried to console her.

“Host, as the saying goes, if you want to have a good life, you have to wear a little green on your head.

Besides, the one making you jealous isn’t just anyone.

Jiang Mei is the female lead of this world.”

Qiao Yu scowled.

“So, you’re saying I should go to her house with a big gift and thank her?”

“No, you don’t have to,” the system said.

“But if you really want to, I won’t stop you.”

Qiao Yu immediately swung a fist at it.

Lu Shangyi, who had been woken up, opened her eyes.

Her dark eyes, in the faint shadows, held a captivating charm.

Qiao Yu awkwardly explained, “There was a mosquito.”

Lu Shangyi nodded and looked away, not closing her eyes again.

The car was too quiet.

Qiao Yu felt like she was on pins and needles, suffering inside.

She held back for as long as she could, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Lu, what do you think of my friend?”

A hint of a smile seemed to flicker in Lu Shangyi’s eyes.

“She’s very good,” she said.

“She’s tall, has fair skin, and is very beautiful.

No one should dislike her.”

Qiao Yu was very unhappy.

Very unhappy.

Even though what Lu Shangyi said was true.

No one would dislike a delicate and helpless person like Jiang Mei.

A “beautiful and tragic” female lead has many good qualities, and the best one is that she’s very good at attracting the attention of powerful people.

Thinking about her difficult love life, Qiao Yu scoffed.

“If I’m the only one who can’t find a partner in the end, I’m going to run away with the female lead and make all the powerful people in the world stay single with me!”

The system: “…”

Can you be a little more mature, like me?

Qiao Yu had promised to get breakfast for Jiang Mei, but she ended up sleeping until the sun hit her face.

She looked at the time on her phone and frantically washed up before running downstairs.

Lu Shangyi was sitting at the long dining table, elegantly enjoying her breakfast.

She had a laptop on her left, and two iPads on her right.

One showed a screen full of information, and the other’s speaker was playing the day’s financial news.

Lu Shangyi sat upright, her every move showing a good upbringing and the cold ruthlessness of a capitalist.

She glanced at Qiao Yu, who had stopped in her tracks, and shifted her attention from the financial news.

“Are you up?”

Lu Shangyi seemed to be in a very good mood today.

Even the corners of her long, narrow eyes seemed to be smiling a little.

Qiao Yu replied, “Yeah,” as she bent down to change her shoes.

As she was about to leave, Qiao Yu looked at Lu Shangyi with disbelief.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Lu Shangyi was treating her home like a resort.

She seemed more like the owner of the house than Qiao Yu herself.

After watching Qiao Yu rush out and get in the car, Lu Shangyi slowly answered the phone that had been ringing silently for a while.

“Brother.”

Lu Shenghui was in a terrible mood.

“Are you going to come back on your own, or do you want me to bring people to get you?”

Lu Shangyi had been out of his sight for over twenty-four hours.

Although she always seemed weak and helpless in front of him, the thought of her shares kept Lu Shenghui on high alert.

After the car accident, Lu Shangyi had been blessed with her mother’s sympathy.

Mrs. Lu had given all of her shares to Lu Shangyi, which, to his dismay, was exactly 5% more than his.

The company’s stock price had been stable for the past two years.

Unless he announced that he had a terminal illness and had a child outside of wedlock, the stock price would never plummet.

In this situation, he couldn’t buy shares from others.

Lu Shenghui’s handsome face twisted with a gloomy expression.

His knuckles turned white as he gripped the phone.

“Or should I send the police to escort you back?”

Lu Shangyi’s face was calm, and her voice was gentle.

“Mom agreed to let me stay at the Qiao family’s for a couple of days.”

She lowered her eyes.

“You can talk to Mom about it.”

The call was disconnected.

Lu Shangyi went back to the financial news, her gaze calm.

Qiao Yu was still five minutes late, despite her rushing.

She tiptoed through the back door and quickly gave Jiang Mei the breakfast she bought with her credit card.

“Did you rest well last night?”

Jiang Mei looked at the bread and milk Qiao Yu gave her without warning and nodded.

Qiao Yu thought about it.

If a popular Omega like Lu Shangyi used a corny pickup line like, “You look familiar,” on her, she probably wouldn’t just sleep well; she would probably have ten wet dreams.

For a moment, Qiao Yu didn’t know whether she should feel sorry for herself or be envious of Jiang Mei.

Qiao Yu didn’t go online last night, so Meng E read her the messages from Song Wanying’s fans one by one.

At first, Qiao Yu was as calm as an old dog, but when she heard that some fans were already camping outside the school, she started to panic.

Just then, a classmate ran in, out of breath, and said, “Qiao Yu, someone is here to see you outside.”

Qiao Yu’s eyes widened in fear.

“They’re here already?”

“How many people?

Are there a lot?

Are they armed?

Do I need to call the police?”

Qiao Yu paused.

“Oh, right, did you see any guns?”

The classmate’s expression was serious at first, but then he looked confused.

“It’s just a Bugatti Veyron.

There’s only a driver in the front.

I don’t know if they’re armed, and I don’t know if they have a gun, but the man in the car said his last name is Lu.”

Lu?

Meng E nudged her.

“Yu Yu, it looks like your Sister Lu’s brother is here.”

Lu Shenghui?

Qiao Yu’s only impression of this man was that he seemed to be Jiang Mei’s love rival.

When Jiang Mei and Song Wanying were about to get together, Song Wanying’s family had her go on a blind date with Lu Shenghui, the head of the Lu family.

This incident almost made the two female leads miss their chance with each other.

Qiao Yu relaxed.

After tidying her clothes, she saw the Bugatti Veyron not far from the school gate.

As she walked over, the car window rolled down.

To be honest, Lu Shenghui and Lu Shangyi didn’t look alike at all.

Lu Shangyi’s features were delicate and chiseled, and she had a heroic quality about her, but Lu Shenghui had a slightly feminine look, which made him appear overly effeminate.

But the one thing they had in common was their pale skin, which was enough to scare anyone, even in broad daylight.

Lu Shenghui opened the car door, and Qiao Yu got in without being asked.

“You’re looking for me?”

Lu Shenghui stared at her, his gloomy gaze like a cold snake.

Qiao Yu’s leg trembled slightly from nervousness.

She heard Lu Shenghui’s hoarse voice.

“Why didn’t you greet me?”

Qiao Yu was confused.

After thinking for a moment, she cautiously said, “Then… hello, Brother?”

Lu Shenghui was silent for a long time and ultimately didn’t accept his new sister.

He threw a check to Qiao Yu.

Lu Shenghui crossed his arms.

“Here’s five million.

Leave my sister alone.”

Qiao Yu stared at the flimsy check.

Unbelievable.

A cliché like this is happening to me.

She pushed the check back without a second thought.

Lu Shenghui’s brow furrowed, and his expression turned dangerous.

“You don’t want it?”

“No,” Qiao Yu shook her head.

“It’s not enough.”

“Five million is an insult.

It costs me at least two million just to help my friend chase a woman.”

To her surprise, Lu Shenghui didn’t get angry.

His tone was a little confused.

“What kind of woman is so extravagant?”

“…”

The air suddenly became awkward.

Qiao Yu said with a blank face, “Brother, you should stop reading so many CEO novels.

If you’re short on cash, don’t try to get rid of people with a check.”

Lu Shenghui sneered at her.

His thin lips beneath his high nose were cold and heartless.

He was, after all, a man so terrifying that his presence alone was intimidating.

The smile on Qiao Yu’s face slowly faded.

She sat up straight and held up her phone.

“If I’m not back in class in five minutes, I’ll have my friend tell Sister Lu that you’re trying to steal her woman.”
