After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 25

Qiao Yu was in a daze for a long time before she suddenly said, “I get it now.”

The system was curious. “What did you get?”

Qiao Yu’s face was calm and pale, with no emotion visible on it. “My parents must want to use my life to help their business.”

There were only three important people in this book, so how could her parents be so amazing and manage to provoke every single one of them?!

One Lu family wasn’t enough, so they had to provoke a Song family.

Provoking a Song family wasn’t enough, so they had to provoke a Ye family.

If Jiang Mei’s parents hadn’t passed away when she was young and she was without any power or influence, she would seriously suspect that her parents wouldn’t even let the Jiang family off the hook.

Although she was a cannon fodder ex-wife in the book, she couldn’t be so unlucky that her whole family was cannon fodder, right?

Her Qiao family was going to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, painstakingly lying flat on other people’s dinner tables to be eaten, and contributing their own strength to other people’s bright futures!

Qiao Yu’s heart was pounding, and she couldn’t sit still.

She moved her lips and found that her mouth was already dry.

She quickly replied to both of them, “No, no, no, Sister, you misunderstood. My parents didn’t mean that.”

She said to Lu Shangyi, “It’s because Lu Shenghui is too annoying.”

“He bullies you, guards against you, and watches you.

He doesn’t plan on giving you any of the family property.”

Qiao Yu gripped her phone tightly. “I just don’t like his smug, petty face.”

“Anyone who bullies you is deliberately messing with me, Qiao Yu.”

“I won’t allow anyone to bully you.”

Lu Shangyi remained silent.

Qiao Yu waited for a long time but didn’t get a reply from Lu Shangyi.

She quickly put the Lu family matter aside and timidly explained to Song Wanying, “No, no, my parents didn’t mean that.”

“They just like the Song family too much,” Qiao Yu said, almost believing it herself.

“My parents are honest and simple. They just don’t know how to express their feelings of liking someone. Sister Song, you must not misunderstand.”

Song Wanying’s eyebrows raised slightly. “Do you think I’ll believe that?”

Is that how you express your liking for someone?

Qiao Yu was in agony.

She replied with a forced smile, “Sister Song, it’s true. I’m a dog if I’m lying.”

“My parents also wanted to get closer to Uncle and Auntie, so they did that to get their attention,” she said, lying without thinking.

“I’m their flesh and blood. I can vouch for my dad’s happiness for the rest of his life.”

Song Wanying laughed.

The expression on her face was unreadable.

Her agent was watching on the side, her heart racing.

Her little darling is really in love!

Mrs. Qiao heard the phone constantly vibrating behind her and turned her head.

“Who are you chatting with?”

She spoke so suddenly that Qiao Yu’s hand trembled, and she almost dropped her phone.

After stammering for a long time, Qiao Yu said in a soft voice, “I’m chatting with Sister Lu.”

“Lu Shangyi?” Mrs. Qiao frowned, her expression difficult to read.

A moment later, she spoke in a tone that showed no emotion.

“When you look at people and things in the future, don’t just look at the surface. You’ll only see the truth and the essence after you get a deeper understanding.”

“A deeper… understanding?” Qiao Yu’s face turned red.

She couldn’t help but complain, “Mom, I’m still a little girl.

How can you say things like that to corrupt a child and defile their pure mind?”

Mrs. Qiao choked.

She said coldly, “You’re almost thirty, and you’re still a little girl?”

“Even your second aunt isn’t as shameless as you.”

Qiao Yu was speechless.

I’m only eighteen, so how am I almost thirty?

And how can I be more shameless than my second aunt?

I admit defeat.

Later, she didn’t mention Lu Shangyi in her words.

After the car fell silent again, Mrs. Qiao’s mind raced through Lu Shangyi’s past thirty years of life:

Because she was born a few seconds after Lu Shenghui, she became the most beloved child of the Lu family.

The Lu family’s love and care for her were far more than they gave Lu Shenghui.

With such deep love, Lu Shangyi also lived up to their expectations.

She got the best grades from childhood, and was once considered the most outstanding bloodline of the Lu family, besides the old patriarch.

Later, when it was discovered that she had an Alpha gene, Lu Shangyi’s popularity was unmatched, completely eclipsing Lu Shenghui.

The world once only knew of Lu Shangyi, the daughter of the Lu family, but not Lu Shenghui, the son of the Lu family.

Almost everyone had high hopes for Lu Shangyi.

Mrs. Qiao was no exception.

In order to get on good terms with the Lu family, she even willingly gave up a big project to them.

But who would have thought that in just a few years, the situation of the Lu family would undergo a drastic change?

Lu Shangyi was in a car accident and was in a coma, a few times she almost passed away.

At that time, Lu Shangyi’s situation was critical.

Except for Mrs. Lu, almost no one thought Lu Shangyi would survive.

At that time, in order to welcome Lu Shangyi back home, the Lu family had even managed the company so that it would be in perfect order, paving the way for Lu Shangyi to take over.

But not long after, the Lu family seemed to have an internal dispute.

After that, in less than half a month, everything that should have belonged to Lu Shangyi fell into Lu Shenghui’s hands.

Mrs. Qiao had met that child, Lu Shenghui, before.

He had an eccentric and strange personality and seemed a little crazy.

After taking over the company in place of Lu Shangyi, he became even worse, and didn’t play by the rules at all.

However, Lu Shenghui’s talent was not inferior to Lu Shangyi’s, so the company was lucky enough not to go bankrupt after being managed by him for so many years.

Lu Shenghui was too dark and deep.

Most people were not willing to deal with him.

An Alpha’s aura was already overbearing, and with Lu Shenghui’s viper-like eyes, the average Omega would be scared to tears on the spot.

So, no Omega girl from any family was willing to marry him, even now.

Some girls, as soon as they heard their blind date was Lu Shenghui, would immediately cry, make a scene, and threaten to kill themselves until their family gave up the idea.

After Lu Shenghui took power, he was very wary of Lu Shangyi, who had luckily woken up.

Even after Lu Shangyi differentiated into an Omega, he still didn’t let his guard down.

Lu Shangyi couldn’t get in contact with anything related to the company.

Mrs. Lu felt bad for her, so she gave her an entertainment company to play with, but Lu Shangyi wasn’t interested.

To this day, the company only had one artist, Chu Mi, the bankrupt rich girl of the Chu family.

She raised her fingers and rubbed her temples.

Mrs. Qiao’s head hurt from thinking.

When Lu Shangyi differentiated into an Omega, no one was willing to believe it, not even her.

But after dozens of checkups, Lu Shangyi’s results were always an Omega, without any abnormalities.

Mrs. Lu said that the doctor at the time had confused the results, but most people knew the truth.

Even without evidence, it didn’t stop the seed of suspicion from being buried in their hearts.

Take Mrs. Qiao for example.

She didn’t believe it at all.

However, in the years since Lu Shangyi woke up, she had been carefree and easygoing, without any desire to compete with Lu Shenghui for the company, so those guesses and suspicions gradually subsided.

Mrs. Qiao furrowed her eyebrows.

But she always felt that Lu Shangyi had been acting strange recently.

She had a fleeting glimpse of her the night before.

Her easygoing demeanor was subtly mixed with a calm and composed look.

On the outside, she looked gentle and weak, but it was impossible to see through her.

She looked at her simple and innocent daughter through the rearview mirror without a change in her expression.

Mrs. Qiao wasn’t sure if it was a good thing for her to be close to Lu Shangyi.

She probed, without emotion. “Yu Yu, what do you think of Lu Shangyi?”

Qiao Yu said, “Ah,” and looked up.

After thinking about it seriously, she covered her cheeks shyly.

“Mom, can I marry her and have her be your daughter-in-law in the future?”

Mrs. Qiao: “…”

“She’s not on your match list.”

Qiao Yu immediately rolled up her sleeves and argued, “So what if she’s not? The essence of humanity is to fight, and the meaning of life is to resist. I just like to break fate and fight for things that don’t belong to me!”

“Fine,” Mrs. Qiao nodded.

“You like to resist, right? You like to break fate, right?”

She picked up her phone.

“Send me the project information that Ye Yunjian has been in contact with recently.”

Qiao Yu was shocked. “!!!”

No way!

Qiao Jinghuai seized the opportunity and slammed on the brakes.

“We’re at school. Get out.”

She was unceremoniously kicked out of the car by her parents.

Qiao Yu stood at the school gate with her backpack in a daze.

After questioning her life for a while, Qiao Yu said, “I get it now.”

System: “?”

Looking at the dust kicked up by the car’s tail, Qiao Yu’s voice was firm.

“I must be a child they picked up from a trash can. They are definitely not my biological parents.”

What kind of biological parents would do this to their child?

So she must have been adopted.

System: “…”

It’s over.

Another one has gone crazy.

Qiao Yu sat in the classroom, her leg lazily propped on the leg of the desk.

Meng E stared at her thoughtfully for several minutes, but she didn’t react.

She gently pushed her with her hand.

“Yu Yu, what are you thinking about?”

She changed her position with an expressionless face.

“I’m thinking about where it would be better for me to be buried after I die.”

Meng E was surprised.

“Do you have a terminal illness?”

Qiao Yu looked at her with a bad temper.

“No,” she said, pausing.

“But it’s no different from having a terminal illness.”

She didn’t know if it was because she was scared silly by Ye Yunjian or if her differentiation was imminent, but Qiao Yu’s mind felt muddled, and she had no energy to do anything.

She tried hard to open her eyes, but after a couple of struggles, she gave up resisting and lay back on her desk.

“I’m going to sleep for a while. Call me when the teacher comes in.”

She yawned lazily.

“It must be because I used up too much energy fighting with my second aunt today.”

Meng E nodded.

“Every family has a weird relative. I even saw Jiang Mei’s aunt wandering around the school gate yesterday.”

Meng E found it very strange.

“Does her aunt not have a job? How can she always find ways to block her niece at the school gate?”

“Where do they get the money to spend if none of them work…”

Meng E lowered her head.

The girl who was lying on the desk was already asleep.

Her skin was pale and fair, like a flawless, lustrous pearl.

With her soft, long black hair, she looked incredibly well-behaved.

The sunlight shone through the clean window, casting a warm, faint glow even on the strands of her hair.

Meng E propped her face on her hand and looked at her.

She really couldn’t imagine how such a fairy-like girl, who seemed to be untouched by the mortal world, would differentiate into a ferocious Alpha.

She gently lowered her eyelashes.

Meng E smiled with her eyes.

I’m so envious of Yu Yu.

Jiang Mei walked in and saw Qiao Yu sleeping on her desk.

She asked Meng E with her eyes.

Meng E made a gesture and said in a low voice, “Yu Yu was tired from going to her cousin’s wedding at noon today.”

After thinking about it, Meng E guessed, “But it should also be because she’s been weak recently.”

Hearing this, Jiang Mei immediately took off her jacket and gently put it on Qiao Yu.

Meng E wiggled her nose.

Jiang Mei’s jacket was full of the overpowering scent of an Alpha’s pheromones.

Even though she wasn’t very close, she already felt a little uncomfortable.

As if she felt the same way, the sleeping girl moved a little, and her two delicate eyebrows furrowed uncomfortably.

Jiang Mei stopped her movements.

Thankfully, after being pushed a couple of times, Qiao Yu stopped moving and continued to sleep peacefully.

Jiang Mei and Meng E both let out a sigh of relief.

“Qiao Yu can keep sleeping.

Don’t wake her up.”

Meng E hesitated.

“But what about the lessons she missed…”

“I’ll teach her.”

Jiang Mei said with an unreadable expression.

“I’ll find time to explain the lessons she missed to her.”

Meng E understood.

She looked at Jiang Mei meaningfully and nodded.

“Alright, then.”

Jiang Mei remained composed under her gaze, not showing any signs of guilt.

She was very confident.

Only when Meng E’s attention shifted did Jiang Mei slowly relax her tense back and let out a sigh of relief.

She gently rubbed her fingers.

Her fingertips still had the soft and warm temperature of the girl on them.

She felt a greedy desire to possess it.

Qiao Yu slept like a log.

When she woke up again, the cold, orange light of the setting sun was shining on the ground.

The classroom was dim, with only a few students left.

It was very quiet.

A cold sense of loneliness rushed over her without warning.

She frowned uncomfortably and moved her sore arms.

She was about to look for Meng E in a daze, but Jiang Mei’s voice sounded from behind her.

“You’re awake.”

Qiao Yu turned her head.

Jiang Mei handed her a bag of snacks.

“I’ve already ordered the food. If you’re hungry, eat some snacks to fill your stomach first.”

“Why are you still in the classroom?”

She glanced at the clock above the blackboard.

It was dinnertime.

Her hands unconsciously rested on the back of the chair in a well-behaved manner.

“Didn’t you go to dinner?”

Hearing this, Jiang Mei simply pursed her lips and said with a smile in her eyes, “I’m waiting for you.”

“I was worried that you would be uncomfortable if you woke up here alone.”

After talking to Jiang Mei for a while, the feeling of loneliness, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, slowly receded like a tide.

It was replaced by a faint warmth in her heart.

Qiao Yu couldn’t help but smile at her.

After smiling for a while, she frowned and muttered, “Didn’t I ask Meng E to call me when the teacher came in?”

She looked at the classroom again.

“Where is she now?”

“She just went to the cafeteria,” Jiang Mei said, reaching out to straighten the messy hair on her cheek.

She also smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes that she got from sleeping.

“I figured you would be waking up around this time, so I asked her to help me order the dishes you like.”

Qiao Yu’s head was still dizzy from just waking up.

She instinctively nodded, looking very obedient.

Jiang Mei watched her gentle and well-behaved appearance.

An indescribable feeling in her chest grew stronger, completely occupying all of her emotions.

After a long silence, Jiang Mei got up.

“Let’s go eat.”

Qiao Yu was stunned.

She suddenly reacted.

“Then what about the lessons I missed this afternoon?”

“I’ll tutor you.”

Jiang Mei seemed to have already known she would be worried about this.

She pointed to a few books on the desk.

“I’ve already taken notes on the key points.”

Qiao Yu felt relieved.

She took off Jiang Mei’s jacket.

“This is your…”

She suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence.

She carefully sniffed the clothes.

Jiang Mei didn’t know what was going on.

She only saw the girl’s expression go from dazed to shocked, then to ecstatic.

Finally, her pale face was full of joy and excitement.

Even her beautiful, watery eyes were sparkling like stars.

“I, I can smell pheromones!”

Qiao Yu was ecstatic.

Her long eyelashes trembled like fluttering butterflies because of her excitement.

Her whole person was radiant.

She pointed at Jiang Mei’s jacket.

“I can smell your pheromones on this!”

Jiang Mei subconsciously clenched her hands.

Her voice suppressed a hard-to-detect nervousness.

“Then, does it make you uncomfortable?”

Alphas were especially sensitive to each other’s pheromones and would usually have a rejection reaction.

Jiang Mei quietly held her breath and watched Qiao Yu think, her light-colored lips unconsciously pursed into a thin line.

Qiao Yu thought about it carefully.

“I don’t feel uncomfortable.”

She said, gesturing with her hands.

“Your pheromones seem to smell like first snow.”

It was a cool and clean scent, with a few faint hints of cold pine.

Qiao Yu couldn’t help but get closer to her.

She used all her might to take a deep breath, as if she was going to suck all the other person’s energy out.

Jiang Mei slowly unclenched her fingers.

Her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled back into her stomach.

She watched Qiao Yu’s rogue behavior with a smile.

“Have you smelled enough?”

“No.”

Qiao Yu took another sniff and praised without hesitation.

“It smells so good.”

Jiang Mei watched her and smiled, but she soon started to laugh.

Qiao Yu was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

She went up to every girl who passed by and shamelessly sniffed their pheromones.

Those who knew her would know it was because she was curious.

Those who didn’t would think she was deliberately flirting with the girls.

After walking up to the fifth floor of the cafeteria, Meng E looked at Jiang Mei’s cold face with some confusion.

She nudged Qiao Yu, who had almost buried her entire face in Jiang Mei’s neck.

“Yu Yu, what are you doing?”

Qiao Yu raised her head with a look of sudden realization.

Her tone was like a sudden enlightenment.

“So Omegas have this kind of sweet smell.”

Meng E had a face like a grandpa on the subway looking at his phone.

She couldn’t help but turn to Jiang Mei.

“What’s wrong with Yu Yu?”

Why is she so crazy after just waking up from a nap?

Jiang Mei coldly raised her eyelids and said concisely, “She can smell everyone’s pheromones now.”

Meng E immediately guessed why Jiang Mei was unhappy.

She pushed Qiao Yu away from her.

Meng E handed her chopsticks.

“Hurry up and eat. You have so much homework today. You should hurry up and finish it.”

“Homework isn’t as tempting as the smell of pheromones.”

The air pressure around Jiang Mei dropped by two degrees.

Meng E couldn’t help but shiver.

Qiao Yu also had a sudden thought.

She said curiously, “I think I can also be affected by Jiang Mei’s pheromones!”

Meng E was shocked.

She quickly covered her mouth.

“Yu Yu, you can’t just say things like that.”

She had a serious look on her face.

“Only Omegas can be affected by an Alpha’s pheromones.”

Qiao Yu thought about it and said, “Then maybe I’m exceptionally gifted and different from normal Alphas.”

Meng E looked at her with a complicated expression and didn’t say anything.

Qiao Yu spent the entire night immersed in wrinkling her nose to smell various pheromones.

She didn’t even have the mind to listen to the lessons she missed.

Jiang Mei’s whole body was cold, and her classmates deliberately walked around her.

After evening classes, Jiang Mei pulled Qiao Yu aside and repeatedly reminded her, “It’s not safe outside at night.

Don’t linger outside.

Go straight home, okay?”

Qiao Yu nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Qiao Yu promised Jiang Mei that she would behave, but in the blink of an eye, she was already standing at the entrance of the bar Heaven on Earth.

An employee recognized her.

“Yu Yu, you haven’t been here for a few days.

Do you want your usual spot today?”

“No need, I’m just looking around.”

Qiao Yu explained, “I’ve been busy with homework for the past two days, so I didn’t have much time.”

She quickly slipped into the crowd, her eyes scanning the women around her like a small radar.

Suddenly, she stopped and walked back.

There were three very tall women standing by the bar.

The one on the far right, who had her back to her, had very pale skin.

A smart, well-cut suit encased her tall and slender body.

Her long, meticulously styled hair had two expensive-looking accessories adorning her earlobes.

A person like this was unforgettable even from the back.

Qiao Yu noticed that several Omegas were lingering around the women unwillingly, but they only looked from a distance and didn’t dare to go closer.

Qiao Yu secretly rubbed her hands together.

She noticed that the three people seemed to be talking about business.

She deliberately waited by the bar for a full half hour.

After the two women next to her left, Qiao Yu immediately rushed forward.

Her tone was soft and harmless.

“Sister, your pheromones smell so good.”

Ye Yunjian turned around.

Her eyes fell on the girl who was a full head shorter than her.

Qiao Yu?

She wasn’t going to look for her, but she came to her instead?

Her eyebrows raised with interest.

Ye Yunjian’s lips curved into a meaningful smile.

“Oh? Is that so?”

Qiao Yu nodded eagerly.

“It’s true.”

She tried hard to suppress her rising smile.

“I’ve never smelled pheromones as good as yours.”

As she was speaking, a storm of cold seawater mixed with the scent of wild roses suddenly entered her nose from behind.

Qiao Yu turned her head distractedly and saw that Lu Shangyi was standing behind her.

Qiao Yu immediately felt guilty, as if she had been caught cheating.

She quickly moved two steps away from Ye Yunjian and said with a flattering smile, “Sister Lu, why are you here too?”

Lu Shangyi ignored her.

Her deep and cold eyes were fixed on Ye Yunjian.

“CEO Ye.”

CEO Ye? Qiao Yu was stunned.

Wait!

CEO Ye?!

Qiao Yu’s whole body stiffened.

In her world, the only person she knew with the last name Ye who could make Lu Shangyi so wary was Ye Yunjian.

So she… willingly walked into Ye Yunjian’s trap and courted her own death?!

Ye Yunjian nodded.

She slowly lowered her body and got closer to Qiao Yu, who was as stiff as a frightened rabbit.

Her voice was unhurried and contained a fake smile.

“If it smells good, then smell it some more.”
