After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 24

How could Ye Yunjian appear in such a remote place?

Qiao Yu’s back involuntarily tensed up, and her expression became forced, a face of sadness uglier than crying.

She pinched her fingers and didn’t dare to move.

Even without turning around to face her, the subtle gaze on her was so terrifying that she almost wanted to run away.

After a long stalemate, the pressure on her suddenly disappeared.

Meng E let out a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, “Auntie Ye got in her car and left.”

Qiao Yu felt even more uneasy.

Getting caught by the person herself while suspecting that they weren’t capable was an open provocation.

She heard the sound of car tires rolling over small rocks on the road behind her, getting closer and closer, as if it was about to pass by them.

Qiao Yu instinctively turned her head and saw a face with deep and delicate features inside the black car window.

The person had a straight back and an elegant demeanor.

Unlike Song Wanying and Lu Shangyi’s intense aura, this person seemed gentle and approachable on the surface, but was actually very difficult to get close to.

As she passed in front of the two of them, she slowly turned her head.

Through the unclear black glass, Qiao Yu saw her lips curve into a subtle, knowing smile.

Qiao Yu was so embarrassed she almost wanted to dig a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment on the spot.

She must have heard them!

If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have made that expression!

Meng E obviously realized this problem as well.

She leaned against Qiao Yu in a panic, her voice lacking confidence.

“Yu Yu, what should we do? Will Auntie Ye…”

She covered her neck.

“Will she hold a grudge against two little girls like us?”

Qiao Yu instinctively denied it.

“She’s a big person, so she probably won’t care about a small detail like this.”

“But,” Meng E said with a frightened look, “what we were just talking about was her dignity as a top Alpha.”

Forcing down the anxiety in her heart, Qiao Yu put on a serious face and lectured Meng E.

“Stop with the ‘buts.’

Besides, she couldn’t see our faces clearly through the car window just now.

We can just deny it the next time we see her, can’t we?”

But Meng E said, “I think Auntie Ye deliberately turned her head to look at you to tell you, ‘Very well, woman, you have successfully caught my attention.'”

“‘I’ve remembered you.'”

Qiao Yu: “…”

Oh my god, this is really bad luck.

It wasn’t over yet.

Meng E grabbed Qiao Yu’s sleeve and continued to ramble.

“And I also heard Tang Shu say before that Auntie Ye is very vengeful.”

She was so scared her voice was trembling.

“Have you heard of Chu Mi, that female celebrity who competed with Sister Song for the endorsement last time?

She used to be a pampered rich girl from the capital.”

“Just because she offended Auntie Ye, her family went bankrupt and into debt in just three months, and Chu Mi had to enter the entertainment industry to pay off their debt by acting.

And I also heard that even with Sister Lu’s protection, Chu Mi’s career hasn’t been smooth.

Many of her endorsement deals and scripts are maliciously snatched away just before she signs the contract.”

“Everyone says Auntie Ye did it, even though no one has any evidence.”

Qiao Yu wasn’t very panicked at first, but after hearing Meng E talk about Chu Mi, she also started to feel terrified.

However, even though she was a coward on the inside, as the future fiercest Alpha in the capital, she couldn’t lose her momentum.

Qiao Yu looked at Meng E with an expressionless face.

“What’s the benefit of scaring me to death?”

Meng E thought about it carefully.

“I’ll be heartbroken because I lost a beautiful friend?”

Qiao Yu was at a loss, not knowing whether to be happy that Meng E complimented her or to be furious that she was cursing her.

She returned to school with a crestfallen face.

Qiao Yu even dreamed during her lunch break that Ye Yunjian was walking toward her with a cold smile.

“I heard you suspected I wasn’t capable?”

As she spoke, she unbuttoned her white shirt and said with a fake smile, “I’ll let you see for yourself.”

Qiao Yu desperately shook her head and explained, “Auntie Ye, no. I’ve never been in a relationship!”

But the other person was even more satisfied after hearing this.

“You’ve never been in a relationship? I love women who have never been in a relationship the most.”

Qiao Yu was scared awake on the spot.

After realizing it was just a dream, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Qiao Yu decided not to see Ye Yunjian again before she differentiated.

Jiang Mei noticed her unusual behavior and handed her a bottle of water.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

Qiao Yu took the water.

“Yeah, I dreamed of a particularly terrifying person…”

She paused and looked at the back door of the classroom with a sense of alert.

Only after confirming that no one was there did Qiao Yu relax.

But she felt it wasn’t right to talk about Ye Yunjian like that, so she changed her words.

“I dreamed of an elder who holds a very high position and is very difficult to approach.”

Jiang Mei didn’t know who Qiao Yu was talking about, so she handed her a piece of candy.

“Did she scold you before?”

No, she didn’t.

Qiao Yu shook her head.

But wasn’t the look Ye Yunjian gave her when she left even more terrifying than being scolded in person?

Her courage was almost shattered!

Jiang Mei retracted her empty palm.

She suddenly felt, for no reason, that the elder Qiao Yu was talking about might not be her real elder, but very likely Ms. Ye Yunjian, who had never shown up in her match results.

She suspected that Qiao Yu must have already met her somewhere.

She slowly opened her book.

Jiang Mei asked casually, “By the way, have you ever met Auntie Ye?

Is Auntie Ye very tall?

Does she take good care of herself and have a unique aura?”

“How do you know that…”

Qiao Yu subconsciously answered, then realized what she said and quickly shut her mouth, quickly trying to explain.

“I heard them say that Auntie Ye is pretty tall.”

Jiang Mei smiled gently and nodded with an unreadable expression.

“Then, is Sister Lu taller or Auntie Ye?”

Qiao Yu puffed out her cheeks and looked at her.

Do you really think you can trick me now?

Do you think I’m a fool?

The smile on Jiang Mei’s lips deepened.

Her clear and delicate features became more eye-catching because of this rare smile.

Qiao Yu unconsciously stared for a long time.

Just as she was letting her guard down, Jiang Mei asked another question without warning.

“Do I look good?”

Of course, she did.

Qiao Yu nodded.

Jiang Mei blinked gently.

“Then, do I look better or does Auntie Ye look better?”

Qiao Yu couldn’t compare them at the moment, so she honestly answered, “I don’t know.”

Jiang Mei hummed thoughtfully and started to do her homework, as if she had just asked a random question.

Qiao Yu scratched her face.

The system took her place and summed it up.

“The host is greedy for every woman’s beauty, and can’t bear to give up any of them.”

Qiao Yu wanted to hit it, but it zipped away and disappeared into the air.

But a moment later, the system poked its head out again to remind her.

“Host, did you forget to drink something? 4.8 hours have passed.”

Qiao Yu let out a cold laugh.

“Is it because I can’t lift a knife anymore, or have I given you too much freedom lately?”

After getting rid of the system that was getting more and more insolent, Qiao Yu received a message from her heartless father after several days.

“I heard you fainted yesterday?”

Qiao Yu’s face was cold.

“Did you finally remember you have a child?”

Qiao Jinghuai was a little embarrassed by the sharp response.

He put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice.

He automatically ignored his daughter’s kind concern for him.

“It’s like this.

Your mom came back yesterday and said that you’ve made a lot of new friends recently, so I was thinking that I should give you some allowance to manage your social life.”

Qiao Yu’s tone finally got a little better.

“Are you going to unfreeze my bank card?”

“I was originally planning to,” Qiao Jinghuai said with a happy laugh.

“But the butler just said that ever since I froze your bank card, our family’s expenses last week were cut in half. So, after a lot of careful thought, I’ve decided to give you a full 1,000 dollars in allowance every week from now on.”

“1,000 dollars?

And a ‘full’ 1,000?”

Qiao Yu was shocked.

“One meal for me costs more than 1,000 dollars!”

“That’s your own problem,” Qiao Jinghuai said, educating her earnestly.

“As a businessperson, if you can’t even manage your own wallet, how can you manage the thousands of employees in your company? How can you manage the three marriage candidates on your match list?”

Qiao Yu was speechless.

“…”

Right now, it would be a blessing if I wasn’t managed by those three.

You actually want me to manage them?

What a pipe dream.

“By the way,” Qiao Jinghuai changed the subject.

“Your cousin is getting engaged to her boyfriend tomorrow.

Ask your homeroom teacher for leave in advance. I’ll have someone pick you up for lunch.”

Qiao Yu was a little reluctant.

“Take leave again? I’ve already taken leave twice this week.”

“Then I’ll double your allowance this week.”

Qiao Yu quickly bent over backward for the money.

After hanging up the phone, she opened the “Loving Family” group chat.

The group was indeed talking about her cousin’s engagement.

Auntie No. 2 was still active today.

She was so happy she was beside herself.

While she was complimenting her future son-in-law, she didn’t forget to take a jab at her nieces and nephews.

“I have to say, Junhao and Yu Yu aren’t young anymore.

Why is there no news from them?

If this were back in the day, I would have already given birth to Jing Jing at Junhao’s age.”

This made Auntie No. 3 unhappy.

She immediately responded with a sarcastic remark.

“Yeah, after you gave birth to Jing Jing, Jing Jing immediately rolled up her sleeves and helped you build two thatched huts.”

“Pfft,” Qiao Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

Although she couldn’t see Auntie No. 2’s expression right now, it must be very entertaining.

Auntie No. 3 was not easy to get along with.

After getting her digs in, Auntie No. 2 wisely didn’t provoke her anymore.

She then focused her attacks on Qiao Yu.

“I have to say, Yu Yu isn’t young anymore. It’s time to put finding a partner on the agenda. What’s the point of a girl having such good grades? It’s more reliable to get married.”

“I think Yu Yu should come back to the company and start from the bottom after she graduates from high school. When she doesn’t understand something, she can ask Jing Jing directly. We’re all sisters, so Jing Jing has a big heart and won’t hide anything from Yu Yu. Didn’t a new general manager position just open up at the company? If we give it to Jing Jing, Yu Yu can learn more by following Jing Jing around.”

She then @-ed Qiao Yu.

“Yu Yu, do you have someone you like now? How about Auntie No. 2 introduces someone to you? I have a male relative from my hometown who just graduated from a vocational college. Don’t look down on his education, because he’s a very honest and simple person.”

Auntie No. 3 immediately chimed in.

“A vocational college graduate? And you have the nerve to introduce him to Yu Yu?”

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Auntie No. 3 @-ed Qiao Yu again.

“Yu Yu, did you get your genetic match test done?Which family’s young master or young lady is your match?”

After she asked that question, no one in the “Loving Family” group chat said anything.

Did Qiao Yu not know what she was up to?

She simply replied with a short sentence.

“I did.”

“I was matched with so many people that the organization printed over a hundred pages of paper, and the printer ran out of ink before they were even done printing.”

Auntie No. 2 was immediately suspicious.

“Qiao Yu, don’t lie to us. How can there be so many people?”

Qiao Yu’s tone was very innocent.

“Why would I lie to you? I don’t need to lie about something like this. And to be honest, even my cousin and his sister are on the list. I was shocked when I saw their names. My cousin, his sister, and I are family. We’re related by blood. How can we get married? That’s against ethics!”

No one else had spoken yet, but Qiao Jing’s fiancé sent a question mark first.

After replying to the message, Qiao Yu put her phone aside.

The group chat was probably going to be a mess today.

It wasn’t too late for her to join in after they finished arguing.

But soon, she received a serious critique from Mrs. Qiao.

“Don’t talk nonsense like that in the future.”

“You shouldn’t lower yourself by getting involved with Qiao Junhao and the others.”

Lu Shangyi, Song Wanying, Ye Yunjian, and Jiang Mei, or even that Omega female classmate from that night, which one of them wasn’t better than Qiao Junhao and Qiao Jing?

Mrs. Qiao couldn’t help but suspect her daughter’s taste.

After meeting Lu Shangyi and the others, how could she still like those two faux second-generation heirs?

Qiao Yu didn’t argue with her mother.

She obediently replied with three “Yes, yes, yes” and then quickly turned off her phone, completely cutting off all messages from outside of school.

Ye Yunjian sat in her car, thinking about how the two girls were talking about adult topics without blushing or breathing heavily.

She took out her phone and opened a popular online shopping app.

After typing in her search query, a bunch of strange and wonderful things popped up on the page.

She propped her forehead and thought for a moment, then Ye Yunjian bought every single one of the items she could find.

Qiao Yu suddenly sneezed violently and at the same time felt a creepy chill down her spine.

She looked around in a state of alert and said to Meng E, “Why do I have a false feeling that Auntie Ye came to school?”

Meng E was confused at first, but after hearing the words “Auntie Ye,” she immediately became alert.

“No way?”

“There’s no reason for Auntie Ye to come to our school.”

Their eyes met, and the two of them said in unison, “Should we find a place to hide first?”

Their hearts immediately became tense.

The two of them quickly and sneakily hid in the bathroom.

They then asked someone to help them go to the security guard at the school gate to ask if Ye Yunjian had shown up.

After confirming that she hadn’t, Qiao Yu didn’t leave immediately.

Instead, she began to make a serious deduction.

“Then why did I have a premonition that my life was in danger just now?”

She frowned, and her emotions were all over her face.

“Could it be that Auntie Ye is secretly planning how to punish me?”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this guess made sense.

She hurriedly walked out of the bathroom.

Qiao Yu put her hands together and prayed to the sky.

“I hope I never have to breathe the same air as Auntie Ye within 10 meters for the rest of my life.”

Meng E’s face was cold.

“Buddha said, ‘I will not save those who don’t even have a high school diploma.'”

Qiao Yu opened her eyes.

“…”

Whose side are you on?

She couldn’t avoid her cousin Qiao Jing’s engagement banquet.

Qiao Yu went with a conflicted and complicated feeling.

But luckily, Ye Yunjian was not invited.

Qiao Yu thought about it.

Right, what kind of important person is Ye Yunjian?

How could she come to a small place like this?

Not to mention Qiao Jing, even her own parents might have never had a real conversation with Ye Yunjian.

With this thought, Qiao Yu sat down in her seat with a peaceful mind.

Qiao Jinghuai and Mrs. Qiao were both respectable people.

They stood with a dignified posture and sat with a straight back.

Qiao Yu followed their example, sitting up straight and waiting for the engagement ceremony to begin.

Auntie No. 2, as the mother of the protagonist, was so happy today that she was beside herself.

Because she usually had a big mouth, she started nagging as soon as she saw Qiao Yu.

“Yu Yu, have you thought about what I said in the group chat yesterday?”

The sunlight was harsh.

Qiao Yu squinted her eyes and asked, “Which thing are you talking about?”

“Of course, I’m talking about you following Jing Jing to learn things.”

Auntie No. 2 said a little anxiously.

“Look, our family’s company is missing such an important position.

Who else can take her place besides Jing Jing?

And your cousin-in-law is also excellent.

Maybe he can come in and help our family’s company in the future.”

Mrs. Qiao looked at her with displeasure.

“Have you said enough?”

Auntie No. 2 hesitated.

She was not a very educated person, and she had already suffered a few losses from Mrs. Qiao before, so she obviously didn’t dare to be

reckless in front of her.

But when she was leaving, she still didn’t forget to try to persuade Qiao Yu.

“Yu Yu, think about it again.

Auntie No. 2 won’t harm you.

Don’t you know what kind of person your cousin is…”

Under Mrs. Qiao’s sharp gaze, she finally shut up and left with an embarrassed expression.

Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Jinghuai with a disgusted face.

“As a businessperson, if you can’t even manage your own company’s employees, how can you manage your own wallet?”

Qiao Jinghuai looked up at the sky in silence, pretending he didn’t hear anything.

Qiao Yu snorted to herself.

This matter won’t be over until you give me back my hard-earned money.

During the ceremony, Qiao Yu heard others say that Qiao Jing’s fiancé was a rich second-generation heir.

His family made a little money because they were distant relatives of the Lu family.

Auntie No. 2’s family chose him because they wanted to be related to the Lu family.

Qiao Yu heard this and shook her leg.

That’s it?

If she said her match was Ye Yunjian, wouldn’t they be scared to death?

But with her current awkward relationship with Ye Yunjian, Qiao Yu would never dare to say anything about it.

After the ceremony, Qiao Yu rode back to school with her parents in the same car.

Midway, the radio started broadcasting financial news again.

“Financial news flash!

The Qiao Group has made a big move!

It is understood that the wife of the Qiao Group’s CEO has successfully acquired a first-tier cosmetics brand under the Ye Group this morning.

The Qiao Group will welcome its fourth fully controlled brand…”

Qiao Yu was dumbfounded.

“Mom?”

Mrs. Qiao didn’t move until Qiao Yu called her again.

She finally turned her head with an expressionless face.

“What’s the big deal?

It’s just an acquisition of a company.”

Just?

An acquisition of a company?

Just?!

Listen to that!

Is that something a human can say?

That was the Ye family!

Ms. Ye Yunjian’s warm haven!

Qiao Yu was trembling.

“Mom, aren’t you scared?”

Aren’t you afraid of being retaliated against by Auntie Ye and being treated as a thorn in her side?

Mrs. Qiao was a little confused.

“Scared?

What is there to be scared of?”

Qiao Yu was at a loss for words.

She could only close her eyes and silently chant:

My parents’ actions have nothing to do with me.

My parents’ actions have nothing to do with me.

The father’s debt should be paid by the father, and the mother’s debt should be paid by the mother.

I’m just a minor.

I’m innocent.

But after praying for a long time, Qiao Yu still couldn’t feel at ease.

She tremblingly took out her phone.

Qiao Yu sent a message to both Lu Shangyi and Song Wanying at the same time.

“Sister, if someone comes to kill me, will you save me?

Will you watch me get killed by my enemies?”

She waited nervously for two minutes.

Lu Shangyi and Song Wanying’s replies arrived at the same time.

Both of them shared a link that was highly consistent.

“Do your parents have a problem with my family recently?”

Qiao Yu clicked on the link in confusion.

“The Qiao family, an underestimated wealthy family. Recently, the Qiao family single-handedly succeeded in shaking the Song family, the Lu family, and the Ye family, and is suspected of replacing the Ye family as the new dominant family in the capital!”

Qiao Yu was dumbfounded on the spot.

What the hell is this?
