After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 17

“It’s already been three minutes,” Qiao Yu subtly reminded him.

Lu Shenghui’s icy gaze swept over her. “Are you threatening me?” he asked slowly.

Qiao Yu fell silent.

Lu Shenghui glanced at her tightly-held phone and said casually, “Your phone bill is past due.”

“How do you know that?” Qiao Yu blinked in surprise, then quickly tried to flatter him.

“Brother, can you be a good person and top up my phone for me?”

The consequence of asking Lu Shenghui for money was being ruthlessly kicked out of his car.

The Bugatti Veyron sped away, leaving Qiao Yu in a cloud of dust.

She coughed violently and took two steps back.

Qiao Yu glared at the direction the car disappeared and gnashed her teeth.

“He doesn’t know how to take care of a minor at all.”

After patting the dust off her face, Qiao Yu cautiously looked around and then ran back to the classroom at lightning speed.

Meng E floated over.

“Well, how did it go?

Did he do anything to you?”

“It didn’t go well.

The owner of such a big company wouldn’t even top up my phone.”

Qiao Yu urged Meng E to turn on her hotspot.

As she opened the phone top-up page, she complained, “He gave me a five-million-dollar check without blinking, but topping up my phone with fifty yuan was like asking for his life.”

It completely shattered Qiao Yu’s perception of a CEO.

Meng E was shocked.

“He gave you five million to leave Sister Lu…”

A message suddenly popped up on her phone.

It was from Tang Shu.

“Wait for me behind the school after class.”

This was followed by a gif of Zhen Huan scratching her head and then Tang Shu’s threat, “If I don’t see you there…”

Tang Shu didn’t finish her sentence.

Qiao Yu couldn’t connect to the hotspot and turned to see Meng E spacing out.

“What’s wrong?”

Meng E came back to her senses and nonchalantly deleted the message.

“Nothing.”

Qiao Yu felt like something was off but didn’t think much of it.

She quickly entered a two thousand yuan top-up amount.

She was about to close the page when the system prompted “Top-up failed.”

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and tried again with a different bank card, but after trying all the cards she had, it still said “Top-up failed.”

Qiao Yu finally realized what was going on.

“I think my dad froze my cards.”

That’s why she couldn’t pay for her breakfast earlier and had to use her credit card.

Qiao Yu’s heart ached.

The five million she had just scammed from Qiao Jinghuai was also in her account!

That was the dowry she had prepared for herself!

Capitalism is heartless, they even take a minor’s dowry money!

This wasn’t the first time Qiao Yu’s bank cards were frozen, so Meng E wasn’t surprised.

She casually asked, “How much do you owe?”

Qiao Yu checked.

“One thousand five hundred.”

Meng E’s hand, which was scrolling on her phone, froze.

“?”

“Happy Beans?”

Qiao Yu said with a blank expression, “Do you think I’m joking?”

Meng E’s eye twitched.

“I only have one thousand yuan left for my living expenses.”

Meng E was one of the few good students who got into the school with excellent grades.

Her family wasn’t as wealthy as most of her classmates, and she had a fixed amount of money for her living expenses each month.

After being deskmates for two years, Qiao Yu felt bad for taking all her money, so she gave up.

“Then I’ll think of another way.”

“But,” Qiao Yu frowned and said seriously, “This is my fault.”

Meng E looked at her with confusion.

Qiao Yu shook her head regretfully.

“He wouldn’t top up my phone, but why didn’t I just rob him?”

Meng E: “…”

Are you a bandit?

The trending topics about Qiao Yu and Song Wanying had been up for almost twenty-four hours.

Every time Qiao Yu saw them, she felt terrified.

If she had known that Song Wanying was going to help her in such a way, she would have stopped her no matter what.

She subconsciously glanced at her phone and saw the scandal with Lu Shangyi that was right after it.

“…”

If she had money right now, she would spend a huge amount to take both of them down.

The manager turned around with an iPad.

“Wanying, do you really not need to suppress the news?”

Even though Song Wanying was at the top of the pyramid, the scandal with the wealthy heiress still affected her.

For example, some brands that were interested in Song Wanying’s endorsement politely said, “We need to consider this.”

“Considering” meant they were waiting to see how the team handled it and how much the incident would affect Song Wanying.

If the team didn’t handle it properly, or if Song Wanying’s popularity was clearly affected, then the endorsement deals that were almost finalized would fly away.

Song Wanying slowly put the lipstick cap back on.

After thinking for a moment, her sensual voice said slowly, “The kid didn’t contact me today.

She must be a little scared.”

Song Wanying pursed her lips.

Her full, red lips were a fiery declaration.

“Take a gift and go see her for me.”

The manager nodded, but then Song Wanying said, “Never mind, I’ll go myself.”

“But you have an event tonight,” the manager said instinctively.

Song Wanying looked back, her narrow eyes curving into a smile.

Her face was bright and charming.

“Then cancel it.”

Song Wanying was always a woman of her word.

The manager knew she couldn’t change her mind, and her face became even more worried.

*She’s a successful celebrity.

Why is she becoming more and more confused in her middle age?

With all the people she could like, she had to like a little kid who hadn’t even differentiated yet?*

If this gets out…

The manager couldn’t help but shiver.

It would be an earthquake for the entire entertainment industry.

Qiao Yu’s address was not hard to find.

When Song Wanying drove to the villa, she unintentionally made eye contact with Lu Shangyi, who was sitting in front of the window.

She opened the car door and stepped out.

Her heels made a pleasing sound on the ground.

“You haven’t left yet?”

Lu Shangyi put down the financial magazine she was holding.

“She asked me to stay for two more days.”

Song Wanying squinted.

The arc of her eyeliner was dangerous and alluring.

Lu Shangyi put the magazine on her lap.

“She’s still at school.”

“I know,” Song Wanying walked slowly toward her and looked down at the calm woman.

“But I’m surprised that Lu Shenghui agreed to let you out of his sight.”

As she spoke, the Alpha pheromones on Song Wanying’s body slowly spread out until the woman on the single sofa turned pale and furrowed her brows in discomfort.

Song Wanying pulled up a chair and leaned her index finger against her cheek, a half-smile on her face.

“If I were him, I wouldn’t be so careless.”

A slight, cold smile appeared on Lu Shangyi’s face.

“Aren’t you busy lately?”

“I’m alright,” Song Wanying stared at her.

“But no matter how busy I am, I have to make time for my little sweetheart, don’t I?”

Their eyes met, and an unspoken undercurrent surged between them.

Qiao Yu sneezed five times in a row and rubbed her nose.

“It must be Sister Song’s fans taking turns to curse me.”

She was worried.

“Will my car be tampered with?

I’m only seventeen, not even eighteen yet.

I don’t want to leave this beautiful world so soon!”

She hugged Meng E and cried.

Suddenly, she straightened her back, her eyes hesitant.

“You’re also a fan of Sister Song…”

Meng E was clearly distracted.

When she heard her, she said helplessly, “If I wanted to curse you, I’d do it to your face.

Why would I do it in secret?”

Qiao Yu: “…”

It’s not very hurtful, but it’s very insulting.

Meng E was a little listless.

“A classmate just saw Jiang Mei’s aunt at the school gate.

It seems she hasn’t given up.”

Meng E looked at Jiang Mei in the hallway.

“Keep an eye on her these next few days so she doesn’t get bullied.”

“She dares to come again?”

Qiao Yu stood up excitedly.

“I’ll get someone to teach her a lesson right now…”

Her voice trailed off.

Qiao Yu suddenly realized she was penniless, so she quietly closed her mouth.

A few seconds later, Meng E suggested, “Why doesn’t she stay at your house for a few days?

If Jiang Jinfeng can’t find her, she’ll eventually give up.”

“And she’s been eating only vegetables lately.

She’s not getting enough nutrients.”

Qiao Yu really wanted to agree.

“But,” she said, “Sister Lu is also at my house.”

Last night, Lu Shangyi’s clumsy pickup line left a lasting impression on her.

What if, just what if, Sister Lu suddenly tries to steal Song Wanying’s girl?

What would that make them?

A love square?

But there was no better solution.

Even though Jiang Mei was an adult, there were too many shady characters in the world.

Qiao Yu couldn’t bear to let her stay in a hostel.

After much deliberation, Qiao Yu reluctantly nodded.

“Okay.”

Worried that Jiang Mei wouldn’t agree, Qiao Yu planned a brilliant act.

As soon as school was over, Qiao Yu pretended to be dizzy and leaned on Jiang Mei.

“Jiang Mei, I suddenly feel so unwell.”

Her delicate eyelashes trembled, and her lips were overly pale.

Jiang Mei instinctively held her.

“What’s wrong?”

Qiao Yu weakly moved her lips.

“I feel unwell all over.

And I think I’m blind now.

Everything is pitch black.”

She then pleaded softly, “Can you take me to the school gate?

My uncle’s car is already waiting for me.”

Qiao Yu’s soft body leaned against her.

Jiang Mei looked at Meng E, who shook her head and refused.

“I have something urgent to do, very, very urgent.”

Jiang Mei had no choice but to agree.

After finally helping her to the school gate, they couldn’t find the familiar car.

Qiao Yu looked confused.

“My uncle said he was here already.”

Her eyes shifted, and Qiao Yu suddenly saw Jiang Jinfeng quickly walking toward Jiang Mei.

She quickly hailed a taxi, pushed Jiang Mei into the car, closed the door, and told the driver, “Sir, to Jingxi Manor.”

“Please go as fast as you can.

I’m in a hurry.”

Qiao Yu began her improvised story.

“My sister… she suddenly got sick at home, and she’s the only Omega there.

I’m so worried something might happen to her.”

The driver heard this and immediately floored the gas pedal.

The car sped off like a rocket.

Jiang Jinfeng lost her target when they were so close.

She gritted her teeth in frustration and gave up on chasing them.

She didn’t believe that Jiang Mei could hide from her forever.

Jiang Mei accurately picked up on the key point of Qiao Yu’s words.

Lu Shangyi lives with her?

At this time, Qiao Yu turned to her apologetically.

“I’m so sorry.

I was in such a hurry after getting the message that I accidentally dragged you along with me.”

Qiao Yu’s face was full of innocence.

“Anyway, there’s not much homework today, so why don’t you just stay at my place?”

Jiang Mei subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at Qiao Yu’s watery eyes, she strangely nodded.

“Okay.”

To keep up the act, Qiao Yu pretended to be sick the whole way, until it was time to pay for the taxi.

Then, she became genuinely unwell.

After calling Lu Shangyi from Jiang Mei’s phone, Qiao Yu said humbly, “Sister Lu, I don’t have any money.

Can you come out and pay for the taxi?”

She waited nervously at the door for two minutes, and then she heard light footsteps behind her.

Qiao Yu’s heart filled with joy, and she quickly turned around.

Her eyes first landed on the ground, but she felt something was off.

One foot, two feet, three feet, four feet…

She looked up, and Song Wanying’s beautiful face and Lu Shangyi’s frail body simultaneously came into view.

Qiao Yu looked at Jiang Mei without hesitation.

“I think I can explain.”

As soon as she spoke, the ambiguous voices of Song Wanying, Lu Shangyi, and Jiang Mei rang out at the same time.

“Explain what?”
