After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 23

If Qiao Yu had another life, she hoped she would be born without hands and deaf to all sounds in the world.

In that case, she wouldn’t have to be so worried and rack her brain trying to make a choice.

But she didn’t have that luxury right now.

Her eyes were unfocused as she stared at the huge pile of nutrient solutions, until she heard the light tapping of high heels on the ground again.

Qiao Yu’s eyes widened in horror.

Who else could it be?!

Who else would come to her house to bring her nutrient solutions?!

Her heart gave a heavy thump.

Qiao Yu felt that she was going to die of a heart attack in this world.

She held her breath, her small face panicked.

Her innocent and adorable almond-shaped eyes were full of anxiety, with nowhere to look.

The footsteps were very imposing, approaching step by step, and each one stepped heavily on Qiao Yu’s heart.

Including Meng E, everyone turned their heads at the same time, leisurely waiting for the other person to show up, as if they were watching a good show.

Qiao Yu nervously swallowed.

She had an impulse to rush over and close the door, and to keep the other person out.

Her palms were sweating from nervousness.

She didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

It felt like a long time had passed, but it was Mrs. Qiao’s familiar face that came into view.

Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief as if she had survived a disaster.

She thought with relief, Thank goodness it’s not anyone else.

Otherwise, she would have lost a piece of her sanity today.

Mrs. Qiao stood at the door with a huge gift bag full of love.

Her eyes slowly swept over the faces in the room, and she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.

“Yu Yu, you have so many guests today?”

Every one of them is so beautiful, it’s breathtaking.

But… Mrs. Qiao’s gaze stopped.

Why are there two Alphas and two Omegas?

When Qiao Yu saw Mrs. Qiao, she was ecstatic.

Her “Mom!” made everyone who heard it feel sad.

She flew from her small stool and ran to her.

Qiao Yu’s expectant eyes were sparkling.

“Mom, did you bring me nutrient solutions too?”

She made a move to take it, but Mrs. Qiao nimbly dodged her.

“Didn’t everyone else already give you a lot?”

She slowly hid the nutrient solution behind her back.

Mrs. Qiao smiled, her face full of maternal love.

“You already have so much, so you probably don’t care about my small gift.”

She made a move to throw it into the trash can next to her.

Qiao Yu hugged her waist pitifully.

“No, I need it.”

She lowered her voice and begged, “I really need it.”

“Mom, I’ll die without your gift.”

The words came out of her mouth so fast she didn’t even have time to think.

“I can’t possibly repay my parents for giving birth to me and raising me.

How can I refuse your love for your child?”

As she spoke, she tried to reach for it again.

Mrs. Qiao cleverly dodged her once more.

“But…” She stretched out her words, speaking slowly, “Can you finish all this?”

“Of course I can!”

Several burning gazes behind her seemed to be trying to burn holes in her.

Qiao Yu unconsciously raised her voice.

“Starting tomorrow, I’ll drink five bottles a day.

I’ll drink one every 4.8 hours.

I’ll even set an alarm to get up and drink one in the middle of the night.”

While she was sweet-talking, Qiao Yu took advantage of her mother’s distraction and quickly snatched the nutrient solution from her hand.

After a moment of relief, she turned around with a smug smile.

Her tone was gentle and affectionate.

“Parents come first.

I choose my mom’s nutrient solution.”

The gift box in her hand was suddenly struck by a heavy force and flew out of her hand.

With the crisp sound of shattering glass, Mrs. Qiao’s indifferent voice sounded behind her ear.

“Alright, now they’re all broken.

You can’t drink anything.”

Qiao Yu lowered her head.

“…”

Meng E was watching and felt a little sympathy for Qiao Yu.

Mrs. Qiao smiled sweetly and turned around, holding her bag with an elegant posture.

“Yu Yu, you can continue to have fun with your friends.

I won’t bother you anymore.”

Qiao Yu was traumatized on the spot.

Lu Shangyi, who usually looked so cold and unapproachable, had a smile on her lips now.

Song Wanying’s beautiful face showed no emotion, but her tightly pressed red lips showed how hard she was trying to suppress her laughter.

Qiao Yu wanted to cry but had no tears.

She had never seen such a heartless birth mother!

She had a strong suspicion that she was a free gift that came with a phone plan!

Qiao Yu walked back weakly, and sat down next to Lu Shangyi with a look of hopelessness.

Lu Shangyi raised her eyes to look at her.

Noticing the undisguised sadness on her face, she opened the gift box that Meng E and Jiang Mei had brought, and randomly picked a bottle for her.

“Drink it.”

Qiao Yu turned her head in surprise.

She pursed her lips in a dazed way.

“But…” She nervously glanced at Lu Shangyi’s and Song Wanying’s gifts.

“Then what about yours and Sister Song’s?”

Lu Shangyi’s smile was faint, and there was no particular emotion in her voice when she spoke, but it made Song Wanying feel especially annoyed.

“They’re all products from the Lu family’s company anyway.

It doesn’t matter which one you drink.”

Song Wanying’s eye twitched.

Lu Shangyi was the one who made things difficult for the child, and she was also the one who stood up to help the child out of the situation.

After so many years in the entertainment industry, she had seen countless kinds of people, but she had never met anyone as cunning as Lu Shangyi.

She was truly a schemer.

Song Wanying let out a cold laugh.

She also opened a bottle of nutrient solution, and didn’t forget to give one to Jiang Mei and Meng E.

Jiang Mei hesitated whether she should take it.

After all, she was an Alpha, strong and healthy, and she didn’t need this kind of thing at all.

But Song Wanying ignored her and put the item directly into her hand.

“Don’t be shy.”

Jiang Mei felt that Song Wanying said this with a deep resentment, like a not-so-mature little girl with a bad temper.

She shook her head gently.

Jiang Mei thought this must be her imagination, because Song Wanying was not like this when she was teasing Qiao Yu just now.

Meng E was so excited holding the nutrient solution Song Wanying gave her that her cheekbones couldn’t help but rise.

She was so thrilled that she lowered her voice and secretly told Jiang Mei, “This bottle has Sister’s fingerprints and scent on it.

I’m going to take it home and put it in my cabinet to treasure it.”

Jiang Mei didn’t quite understand the mindset of a fangirl, but she didn’t really need this supplement, so she reached out her hand and offered the nutrient solution to Meng E.

“Then you can have this one too.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a glare shot over like lightning.

Song Wanying squinted her eyes and stared at her, as if to say that if she dared to give the thing away, she would chop her hand off.

Jiang Mei’s lips were pressed into a thin line.

“…”

She silently pulled back the hand holding the nutrient solution.

Jiang Mei expressionlessly tore open the straw’s wrapper.

Only after drinking several sips did the pressure from Song Wanying slowly disappear.

Meng E looked at Jiang Mei with sympathy, then turned her sparkling eyes to Song Wanying.

“Sister is mighty!”

Song Wanying’s heart, which had been torn to shreds by Qiao Yu and Jiang Mei, was finally healed a little by Meng E.

She tapped the cardboard box on the floor with a good mood.

Song Wanying’s tone was gentle.

“Meng E, you can take two more bottles when you leave.”

Meng E was pleasantly surprised.

“Really, Sister?”

Song Wanying nodded, her eyes full of a smile.

“Of course.”

Qiao Yu wished Meng E would take all dozen or so boxes of nutrient solutions.

Now, whenever she saw these things, she subconsciously got a headache.

The psychological trauma she experienced just now was truly huge and would haunt her for a lifetime.

Qiao Yu looked at Lu Shangyi’s elegant and beautiful appearance, her eyes sparkling with gratitude.

Lu Shangyi responded with a calm and gentle expression.

Song Wanying had work in the evening, and Jiang Mei and Meng E had to go back to school for classes.

After sending the three of them off, Qiao Yu collapsed on the sofa, unwilling to move.

She held her head.

“Oh my god, I never want to go through what happened tonight ever again!”

The system popped up.

“It’s okay, Host.

As long as you play the field fast enough, the love rivals won’t be able to catch up to you.”

Qiao Yu carefully thought about it.

She felt that something was not right, but she couldn’t figure out what.

Qiao Yu always dealt with things she couldn’t understand in a straightforward manner.

She pulled her light-colored lips into a sinister smile, and said with certainty, “You’re trying to harm me.”

System: “…”

After seeing through the system’s wicked plan, Qiao Yu let out a cold laugh.

“I won’t be easily fooled by you.”

You want to harm me?

Not a chance.

Lu Shangyi stayed for a while and was also ready to leave.

Seeing her get up, Qiao Yu immediately jumped up like a fish.

“Sister Lu, are you leaving so soon?”

“Yes.” Lu Shangyi looked at the time.

“It’s getting late.”

Qiao Yu planned to have the family driver take her, but Lu Shangyi politely refused.

“I drove myself.”

Qiao Yu was not at ease.

Sister Lu was a delicate Omega, powerless and weak.

Even a gust of wind could easily blow her away.

It was too dangerous to drive.

But Lu Shangyi’s expression was calm, and she spoke without a change in her tone.

The words of concern went from her tongue and back into her mouth.

“Sister, be careful and remember to send me a message when you get home.”

Lu Shangyi lowered her head, her deep and beautiful eyebrows like a painting.

Qiao Yu craned her neck to look at her, feeling a little nervous under Lu Shangyi’s gaze.

She carefully pinched her fingers.

Qiao Yu asked with unease, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m leaving,” Lu Shangyi said.

“Get some rest.”

Qiao Yu stood there, her small face wrinkled into a ball.

Sister Lu’s eyes just now clearly meant something.

Because of the IV drip during the day, sleepiness came over her in no time.

Qiao Yu stayed up just long enough to confirm that Lu Shangyi had arrived home, then she fell asleep.

The phone next to her pillow vibrated again and again, but it didn’t wake her up at all.

When she opened her eyes again, it was only 5:30 in the morning.

Qiao Yu yawned and sat on the bed, her face expressionless, staring blankly for a while.

It wasn’t until the nanny came up and knocked on the door that she came back to her senses and responded.

Then she mumbled to herself, “I hope everything is peaceful today.”

When she was about to leave after breakfast, Qiao Yu looked at the nutrient solutions on the floor and hesitated for a long time.

Should I bring these things or not?

She deliberated for a long time, but Qiao Yu still stuffed everything into her backpack.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

What if Sister Lu, or Sister Song, or even Jiang Mei, who was close by, suddenly decided to check in on her?

Thinking about the love rival drama, Qiao Yu shivered violently.

As soon as she stepped into the classroom, Meng E teased her with interest, “You look different after drinking the good stuff our sisters gave you.”

As she said that, she touched her.

“Look at this skin.

It’s as tender as tofu, you could pinch water out of it.”

Qiao Yu expressionlessly slapped her hand away.

“Don’t even mention it.”

She put her hands on her hips and said resentfully, “And you call yourself my friend.

You didn’t even help me at all yesterday.”

Even a little peep would have been enough.

“I was going to help you,” Meng E said, blinking.

“But with a wolf in front and a tiger behind, and being sandwiched between Sister Song and Jiang Mei, do you think a tiny Omega like me would dare?

You didn’t see how Sister Song easily suppressed Jiang Mei with just one look.”

“Even if I had the guts of a bear and a leopard, I wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly in front of two Alphas.”

Meng E was wronged, but she didn’t say it.

Jiang Mei walked into the classroom just then, tall and slender, looking as beautiful as a painting.

Qiao Yu looked her up and down.

Qiao Yu silently sighed.

That’s right.

If even Jiang Mei couldn’t win against Sister Song, how could I expect Meng E, a weak and helpless Omega, to go against Song Wanying and Lu Shangyi?

Even so, Qiao Yu was still not happy.

Tang Shu heard that Qiao Yu had fainted yesterday.

She came over with a sarcastic look, ready to mock her, but when she saw how pale Qiao Yu was, a sincere, “Are you okay?” escaped her lips.

Qiao Yu looked at her.

Tang Shu stubbornly stared back, her ears red, her voice stuttering.

“I’m just afraid that people will misunderstand that I, Tang Shu, have bad taste in friends.”

She glared back.

“Speaking of which, you’ve lost so much weight in just a few days.

Tang Shu kindly opened her mouth.

“Since we’re friends, I’ll buy you a few bottles of nutrient solution…”

Before Tang Shu could finish, the person in front of her had run away like a rabbit.

Tang Shu: “?”

Qiao Yu covered her ears with a pained expression.

Nutrient solution, nutrient solution, nutrient solution!

She never wanted to hear those three words again in her life.

She should be grateful that Tang Shu didn’t come to join the fun last night.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been a simple conclusion with just Lu Shangyi getting them out of a tight spot.

Qiao Yu’s face was very pale.

Meng E pushed her with concern.

“Yu Yu, how about I go to the hospital with you?”

She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after a painful consideration, Qiao Yu agreed.

However, it was lunch time.

The two of them wandered around and came to a shabby little clinic.

Qiao Yu frowned and looked at it.

“Is this reliable?”

“It is,” Meng E said, pulling her inside.

“Anyway, whether it’s reliable or not, we’re here already.

We can’t go back empty-handed, right?”

Qiao Yu pursed her lips, skeptical about whether this old and shabby clinic had a business license.

After a simple checkup, the old doctor asked her, “Have you had a genetic match test yet?”

“I have,” she answered truthfully.

Then she said, “Doctor, although there are various discomforts during the differentiation period, I’ve been having heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness lately.

Is there something wrong with me?”

The old doctor shook his head.

“There’s nothing seriously wrong with you.

You’re just a little weaker than the average person.”

He glanced at Qiao Yu.

“Spend more time with your match candidates during this period and cultivate your relationship with them.”

Speaking of her match candidates, Qiao Yu thought of Mrs. Ye, whom she had never met before.

Holding the bill, she walked out of the small clinic.

Qiao Yu asked with a worried tone, “E-E, do you think that since Auntie Ye Yunjian hasn’t had a partner for so many years, could it be…”

She tried to express her meaning tactfully.

“Is there something wrong with her… in that area?”

Or maybe, she didn’t like women?

Ye Yunjian stopped in her tracks.

She slightly lowered the sunglasses on her nose and saw a young girl with a worried expression talking to her friend.

Meng E wasn’t sure either.

“But that’s okay.

With how advanced medicine is now, can’t they cure a little problem like that?

At worst, you can just use some small tools during… that time.”

She said with certainty, “The small tools on the market are so diverse.

There’s nothing you can’t buy, only things you can’t think of.”

Qiao Yu: “…”

Ye Yunjian: “?”

Qiao Yu stared at Meng E with an expressionless face.

Meng E’s small face was slightly red.

Just as she was about to explain, Qiao Yu nodded seriously.

“What you said kind of makes sense…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Meng E suddenly had a terrified expression.

She trembled and pointed behind Qiao Yu, her throat dry.

“Yu Yu, Yu Yu, Auntie Ye, it’s Auntie Ye…”

Qiao Yu froze.

“???”
