After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 27

Qiao Yu, in order to prove that she wasn’t talking nonsense and that her relationship with Tang Shu was truly good, intimately grabbed Tang Shu’s cold little hand and held it up to Song Wanying. “When we were little, we used to play a game where she would marry and I would wed.”

She looked at Tang Shu with a glint in her eyes. “Right, Xiao Shu?”

Qiao Yu’s tone was firm. “We played until we were eight. We still had memories back then, you shouldn’t have forgotten.”

Song Wanying’s charming eyes gradually became covered with a faint layer of frost. Her gaze moved between their intimately clasped hands, looking as if she was watching chicken feet waiting to be deboned. Tang Shu was so angry at Qiao Yu that her face turned red. “Who’s on good terms with you?!”

She broke free from Qiao Yu’s hand and hurriedly took two steps back, saying angrily, “I don’t have a good relationship with you.”

Qiao Yu’s eyes were innocent, and her expression was very sad. “Xiao Shu, how can you say that? How can you treat me like this? You clearly know that you are a match on my list, and you clearly have feelings for me, too.” She sadly raised her sleeve to wipe away tears that didn’t exist in the corner of her eyes. “If you don’t like me, why would you be so worried about me being alone and sneakily follow me to protect me?”

Tang Shu opened her mouth to explain, but Qiao Yu quickly interrupted her, speaking sincerely and with a moved expression. “Xiao Shu, you don’t have to say anything. I understand everything.”

“I understand your feelings for me.”

“You’re just making things up!” Tang Shu was about to be driven to death by Qiao Yu. How could she have feelings for her?

When she heard that, Qiao Yu looked incredibly disappointed. She put on a fake strong smile and pursed her red lips. “Then tell me, if you don’t have feelings for me, why would you awkwardly send me nutrient solution?”

Tang Shu realized that as soon as she said the words “nutrient solution,” Song Wanying’s gaze became ruthless. Although she didn’t know what kind of magic these three words had, when Song Wanying, such a cold and dominant Alpha, stared at her, Tang Shu couldn’t help but shiver. All of her arrogant aura disappeared completely.

She finally understood why Qiao Yu was afraid of Song Wanying. Who wouldn’t be afraid of the eyes of a movie queen?

She timidly hid behind Meng E. Tang Shu was unwilling, but she still argued stubbornly, “I was worried that if something happened to you, I’d have to clean up the mess. As your best friend, if you accidentally had an accident, wouldn’t people blame me for being heartless and not taking good care of you?”

Qiao Yu didn’t say anything, but Tang Shu clearly read one sentence from her eyes: You care about me so much, and you’re still saying you don’t like me?

Tang Shu rolled her eyes. She’s going to die of anger.

Jiang Mei was someone who knew the real match results. A subtle smile appeared on her lips. She didn’t intend to expose Qiao Yu’s lie. Her gaze moved gently from Jiang Mei’s smiling face. Song Wanying keenly sensed that something was wrong, but this Tang Shu and Qiao Yu were childhood friends. She was not only a match for Qiao Yu, but she also followed Qiao Yu around every day, like a flighty butterfly. It was just annoying.

Although compared to Lu Shangyi and Ye Yunjian, she wasn’t a threat.

She slowly crossed her hands on her lap. Song Wanying’s expression was lazy. Her long, seaweed-like hair was tucked behind one shoulder, looking enchanting and captivating. “Is that so?”

In just two words, Tang Shu keenly heard a threat. Tang Shu opened her mouth and closed it, and repeated this several times. In the end, she only managed to utter a dry sentence. “What else could it be?”

“Besides, she’s the one who said I’m her match. I haven’t seen the official documents from the agency. How would I know if what she’s saying is true?” Tang Shu retorted, unwillingly hiding behind Meng E. “She’s been cunning and dishonest since she was a child. Now she’s making things up every day. Who knows if she’s just trying to drag me down so you won’t lecture her?”

The more Tang Shu thought about it, the more she felt that this was Qiao Yu’s way of doing things. She got up excitedly and pointed at Qiao Yu, arguing with conviction. “If you’re so capable, show us the original documents. Otherwise, it’s all a lie.”

Qiao Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief. The fire had clearly been diverted by her, so why did it end up burning her again?

Did my best friend’s IQ suddenly come back online today?

Song Wanying indifferently turned her head and looked back at Qiao Yu. She let out a soft sound from her nose. “Hmm?”

Meng E watched the back and forth between the few people, secretly excited. This show was more thrilling than the exclusive dramatic show every night at 8:30.

Qiao Yu’s expression froze. Fortunately, she was good at managing her expression and quickly returned to normal. “But I don’t have the original documents.”

Song Wanying noticed that she quietly glanced at Meng E and Jiang Mei. “My mom called me and told me the results that day. The original documents are still with my mom, not with me.”

Meng E’s eye twitched twice. She was extremely impressed by Qiao Yu’s ability to lie through her teeth. She’s able to lie so effortlessly in front of Sister Song. If she wasn’t in front of the sisters, wouldn’t she be able to turn white into a colorful black?

As a friend, she naturally wouldn’t betray Qiao Yu. So she turned to look at Jiang Mei, who had remained silent the whole time.

Jiang Mei was always quiet and spoke very little. She was so reserved that it was hard to see through her. Meng E thought that Jiang Mei shouldn’t be the kind of person who would talk too much. When she saw that Jiang Mei didn’t react, she felt relieved.

The few of them were winking at each other in front of her. Song Wanying gently rubbed her fingers together. Her thick eyelashes trembled twice, and the smile on her face deepened. “That’s a shame.”

She suddenly stopped dwelling on the original documents and no longer cared about Qiao Yu secretly meeting Lu Shangyi and hitting on Ye Yunjian last night. Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear. Song Wanying had almost scared the soul out of her. Song Wanying had been sitting for less than three minutes when the director came over to tell her to film the next scene. When Qiao Yu saw this, she quickly said, “Then Sister Song, we’ll be going now.”

“We won’t bother you with your filming.”

Song Wanying nodded. She elegantly tucked her long hair behind her ear and smiled warmly. “Then have a safe journey.” Her voice was gentle as she reminded them, “Be careful on your way back. It’s hot, so don’t get heatstroke.”

Qiao Yu nodded obediently. Just as she was about to turn around, Song Wanying’s clear voice came again, with a smile that wasn’t a smile. “By the way.”

Qiao Yu’s body stiffened. She forced a strong smile and turned around, only to see her slender finger pointing at the quiet Jiang Mei. “You stay.” Her smile was gentle. “I have something I want to talk to you about.”

Meng E and Tang Shu both looked at her with gossiping eyes. Jiang Mei frowned. She had never been close to Song Wanying and had only spoken a few words to her. “I don’t have anything to talk to you about.”

Song Wanying didn’t get angry when she was talked back to. The smile at the corner of her mouth just deepened. “In broad daylight, I don’t want to be seen publicly forcing and intimidating a young girl.” She held her arms in a composed manner. Song Wanying raised her eyebrows. “What do you think?”

Qiao Yu immediately gave Jiang Mei a sympathetic look. If your wife is a little dominant, then so be it. It’s better for everyone if you just obey now.

Jiang Mei’s face was expressionless. Qiao Yu patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, and said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid. Sister Song doesn’t eat people. Meng E and I will go eat first, and then we’ll wait for you at the school gate to go back to class.”

She quickly pulled Meng E and ran away without a trace. Jiang Mei didn’t want to stay, but she couldn’t leave, so she could only silently sit back down. A look of satisfaction finally appeared in Song Wanying’s eyes. She turned her head and said slowly to the five assistants next to her, “Keep an eye on her for me. If she accidentally slips away, I’ll hold you accountable.”

The five assistants quickly nodded obediently. “Sister Wanying, don’t worry. With us here, not even a fly can fly out, let alone a person.”

Jiang Mei: “…”

Song Wanying turned around with a smile. “Good job. I’ll give you a bonus this month.”

Jiang Mei sat up straight. The light cast on her beautiful, slightly heroic features. Her pale skin was glowing faintly like a lustrous pearl. The agent looked at this cold and arrogant girl, whose face was as a little childish as Qiao Yu’s, and worried. Is Wanying…

Has she been single for so long that she’s fallen for two people at once?

Wanying’s taste is too consistent, isn’t it? She consistently likes people who are eleven or twelve years younger than her.

A little milk dog, a little wolf dog. The agent looked at Jiang Mei for a while and had to admit that she was indeed pleasing to the eye. No wonder Wanying moved on from Qiao Yu so quickly.

The agent felt a little sorry for Qiao Yu but didn’t blame Song Wanying too much. Being fickle was human nature, so her artist was just making a mistake that everyone in the world would make.

Jiang Mei frowned and endured the ambiguous gazes from Song Wanying’s agent and assistants. She didn’t understand what Song Wanying wanted to ask her by keeping her here alone. She had only met Song Wanying a handful of times, and most of their interactions were as love rivals.

Song Wanying was busy filming and didn’t have time right now. Jiang Mei took a deep breath and could only wait patiently.

Meng E felt a little guilty and couldn’t help but stop. “Yu Yu, is it really okay for us to leave Jiang Mei alone like this?”

“What could be wrong?” Qiao Yu looked back. The two female leads were about to start their romance. Of course, they, the 500-watt light bulbs, should leave as soon as possible. Seeing Meng E’s worried expression, Qiao Yu patted her chest and promised, “It’s definitely okay. You have to believe me.”

She said it so confidently. Meng E hesitated for a moment. “Okay, then.”

It was no use worrying anyway. From what she knew about Song Wanying, Song Wanying was kind and beautiful. Since she was in front of so many people, she definitely wouldn’t make things difficult for a high school student. Maybe Sister Song really just wanted to ask Jiang Mei something.

Meng E sat down on a flowerbed. “But what could Sister Song and Jiang Mei have to talk about?”

Qiao Yu didn’t say anything. She thought to herself that there was a lot to talk about. The female lead was an adult now. Not only could they talk, but they could even get physical without being censored by Jinjiang.

Tang Shu suddenly chimed in from the side, “What else could they talk about? About Qiao Yu, of course.”

Qiao Yu’s head immediately did a Thomas spin. Her gaze was aggressive, and Tang Shu was startled. “I didn’t say anything wrong. What else could they talk about besides you?” It was so strange. Why was Qiao Yu’s reaction so big? Tang Shu frowned and thought for a moment. “Could it be that Jiang Mei was next to you when your mom called and heard your conversation?”

Qiao Yu finally reacted. She felt extremely guilty. I’m sorry, my child. I hope you can endure Sister Song’s interrogation and keep the secret for Mom, or else Mom won’t just die.

Jiang Mei waited for Song Wanying for a full half hour. During this time, Song Wanying’s agent was exceptionally solicitous and handed her a bento box. “Eat. Don’t be shy.” The agent’s tone was gentle, and her eyes were loving. “Wanying won’t be done in a short time, so don’t go hungry.”

Jiang Mei’s mood became even more irritable when the agent shoved the bento box into her hands. But she looked up at the five assistants who were also watching her, and she immediately lost her temper.

The five assistants ate while watching her. One of them said, “This girl seems more suitable for Sister Wanying than Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu is so fickle. There have already been rumors about her and Sister Wanying and Lu Shangyi. That’s two who have been exposed, not to mention the ones who haven’t been exposed privately.”

But someone else disagreed. “Why is Qiao Yu not suitable? She’s so gentle and soft. Her little waist can be held with a single hand. How perfect is she with Sister Wanying?”

“This one’s waist is also thin, and she looks like a perfect match with Sister Wanying. Besides, how perfect is a cold and elegant Alpha like Sister Wanying with a dominant little wolf dog?”

The assistants were about to start arguing. Jiang Mei ate her rice with an expressionless face. She didn’t like Song Wanying.

Qiao Yu and Meng E also waited for a long time before Jiang Mei slowly appeared. Seeing that Jiang Mei was unharmed, Qiao Yu said in a low voice to Meng E, “I guessed right, didn’t I?”

Meng E nodded. She was right.

Qiao Yu went up to Jiang Mei and looked at her with concern. “Did Sister Song do anything to you?” When she saw Jiang Mei shake her head, Qiao Yu cautiously probed, “What did you two talk about for so long?”

Jiang Mei looked at her bright and expectant eyes and saw through her little scheme. With the intention of punishing the other person, she put on a smile. Jiang Mei spoke slowly, her tone incredibly innocent. “She asked me some things about you.”

Qiao Yu’s heart tightened. She quickly widened her eyes and asked, “And did you tell her everything?”

Jiang Mei laughed softly. “What do you think?” Her voice was low. Jiang Mei’s pleasant voice sounded again. “After all, she cares about you so much, so I couldn’t refuse her.”

Qiao Yu’s clear black and white eyes were instantly filled with panic. She held onto Meng E for support. There was only one thought in her mind: It’s over. Another person has to be added to her avoidance list.

If this continues, won’t all of the capital become her enemies?

She was heartbroken and felt like a knife was twisting in her heart. “System, have you found a way back? I’m almost out of a place to live in this world.”

The system’s face was cold. “Not yet.”

“How great is this place? So many sisters and aunties like you, Host. Isn’t it enough that you can find a partner with your eyes closed in the future?” The system pretended to be confused. “Host, do you know how many people in this world can’t find a partner even when they’re old?”

“You’re in a good place but don’t know it. You’ll be despised if you tell people.”

Qiao Yu sneered, “Then do you want this blessing?”

Qiao Yu came happily and went back dejectedly, experiencing the warmth and coldness of human nature and the wickedness of society once again. But as soon as the three of them reached the school gate, before they could even step inside, a man in a uniform walked over. “Are you Ms. Jiang Mei?”

Jiang Mei turned her head. Her gaze was a little cautious. “What is it?”

The person handed her a box. “This is a local delivery for you. Please sign for it.”

Jiang Mei frowned tightly. She didn’t take the item. She had no family in this city, and she hadn’t ordered anything online recently. Why would she have a package? The man saw her confusion and said, “The sender specified me to deliver it. The only request was for me to hand it to you personally.”

“Please check if your name and phone number are correct. If they are, please sign for it.”

Jiang Mei glanced at the recipient information on the package. It was correct. She pursed her lips. Jiang Mei was still a little hesitant. Qiao Yu also stretched her neck to look and said casually, “Maybe one of your relatives sent it to you.”

Her relatives? Jiang Mei’s eyelashes drooped. Since she was a child, her only relatives had been her aunt’s family. She had no other blood relatives besides them.

Not wanting to make things difficult for the other person, Jiang Mei signed and took the box into her arms. It was heavy. She didn’t know what was in it.

Qiao Yu was very curious about this sudden package. As soon as they returned to the classroom, she borrowed a small knife to help Jiang Mei open it. She lifted a piece of cardboard and, after seeing the color inside, quickly put the cardboard back. “Did I just see things?”

Meng E was also shocked. “I-I don’t think so.”

“Really not?”

If it was really what she thought, then this box was filled with cash! At least a few hundred thousand.

Jiang Mei’s eyes were dull. She reached out and opened the box. A whole box of cash and a brand new envelope were shocking. She involuntarily picked up the envelope and opened it. Inside were a bank card, a black card, and a letter. The elegant and powerful handwriting was written neatly. “There is five million in the bank card. I also prepared some cash for you.”

And after an empty line, it said, “Don’t shortchange yourself.”

Qiao Yu blinked after reading the letter. “Jiang Mei, could it be your mom who sent this?”

The person sent it via local delivery, which meant they were also in the capital right now.

Jiang Mei’s eyes gradually became lost. All this time, she had thought that she had been abandoned by her parents and was a child no one wanted. But now, someone had sent her a large amount of cash, a bank card with a balance of five million, and a black card that others could only dream of getting. It told her that she wasn’t alone in this world.

She was also loved.

Jiang Mei couldn’t describe her feelings at the moment. She carefully put the letter away and shook her head. “It can’t be her.”

“If it was her, she wouldn’t be good to me now.” What kind of mother would only think of making up for her daughter after eighteen years?

Her tone was certain. “This is more like a relative from my father’s side who suddenly discovered my identity.”

And it couldn’t have been her father who sent these things either. Her mother had kept it a secret from her own family back then, so why would she have told that man that she was pregnant?

“Who cares? When the time is right, the person will naturally show up.” Qiao Yu was happy for Jiang Mei. The pitiful female lead who had no one to love her was finally being cared for. That was great. With such a large sum of money, the female lead could have a better time dating.

“Hurry up and put the money away.” Qiao Yu said in a low voice. “It’s not safe to carry so much cash with you. While we still have time, we’ll go with you to deposit the money so your aunt doesn’t find out and come to pester you again.”

When Qiao Yu talked, she liked to look at people seriously. It would always make the other person have the illusion that they were her entire world. A subtle and indescribable feeling arose in her heart. Jiang Mei thought that she might be trapped in Qiao Yu’s gentle eyes for the rest of her life.

Her eyes were always clean and clear, without any unnecessary impurities. Unlike others who were jealous, unwilling, or disgusted, what Jiang Mei saw every time was only her sincere happiness for her and her genuine concern and worry for herself.

She nodded gently. She tried to squeeze out a steady “Okay,” from her throat.

When they returned after depositing the money, the time was just right. Qiao Yu laid her head on the table and asked the system, “Did the female lead’s aunt find out about her identity?”

She vaguely remembered that the female lead seemed to have a very powerful aunt in the capital, but Qiao Yu was too focused on the intimate scenes when she read the novel, so she didn’t remember these irrelevant minor characters at all. She grabbed her hair in frustration. “Why was I so blinded by that garbage back then?!”

The system perked up its little ears and couldn’t help but ask a question from the bottom of its heart, “Are you doing it again?”

“But it doesn’t matter. When I was tearing off the delivery slip, I quickly wrote down the sender’s address.” She winked at the system. “Isn’t your host very smart?”

“But,” the system said. “Host, let’s use the process of elimination first: Sister Song is the official match, so the female lead’s aunt is definitely not her. Second, this address seems to be a high-end private hot spring club. The people who go in and out are either rich or powerful. Aren’t you afraid of running into Sister Lu and Auntie Ye if you go there rashly?”

“If you’re a little bit more unlucky, and Sister Song is also there, you can all sit down and play mahjong together.”

When Qiao Yu heard that, she immediately spat a few times. “Don’t jinx me. How could my luck be so bad every time?”

“Besides, these noble people don’t have to work? How can they spend every day in a hot spring eating melon seeds and drinking red wine?”

Qiao Yu retorted righteously, “And I’m not just thinking about myself. Whether I can or can’t go doesn’t matter. I mainly want to help my good friend, the female lead, find out who her biological aunt is.”

The system: “…” Keep making things up.

In order to prove that she wouldn’t fail today, Qiao Yu even asked a classmate who was into Eastern mysticism to tell her fortune. After three bad fortunes, Qiao Yu got up angrily. “You can’t trust superstition.”

She insisted on going to investigate Jiang Mei’s background. The system couldn’t stop her, so it enthusiastically showed her the way.

Qiao Yu took a deep breath and, after enough mental preparation, stepped into the hot spring club. She righteously told the front desk, “I’m looking for someone,” and as soon as she was out of the front desk’s sight, Qiao Yu snuck around the club like a thief.

The front desk saw that what she was wearing and carrying was expensive, so they didn’t stop her.

As soon as Qiao Yu stepped inside, a faint voice sounded from behind her. “What are you doing here?”

Qiao Yu turned around and saw Lu Shangyi wearing a clean bathrobe. She already had a great body, tall and thin, with pale skin and alluring curves. The bathrobe was loose, and the subtle look she gave off was soul-stealing.

Qiao Yu gently moved her throat. She glanced at her and quickly looked away. “Sister Lu?”

She couldn’t help but look again. Her face was red and her heart was pounding. “Why are you here?”

Lu Shangyi stared at her calmly. “I think I asked you first.” Her beautiful black hair was scattered over her shoulders, looking gentle and enchanting. Qiao Yu couldn’t resist her at all.

“I came to take a look.” Her cheeks were uncooperatively hot. Qiao Yu said guiltily, “I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

As soon as she finished speaking, another slightly surprised voice sounded from the side. “Qiao Yu?”

When Qiao Yu heard that voice, she immediately felt bad. Under Lu Shangyi’s half-smiling gaze, Qiao Yu steeled herself and turned around. “S-Sister Song.”

Oh my goodness! Why is someone who was just filming near the school suddenly here?!

Qiao Yu subconsciously stood next to Lu Shangyi. She lightly tugged on her belt and showed a smile that was not a smile and a crying face that was not a crying face. “Why are you here too?”

Song Wanying held a piece of paper in her hand and stared at her calmly. The smile on her face was gentle and charming. “What, I can’t be here?”

No, no, no, that’s not what she meant! “I’m just a little surprised.”

Song Wanying put on a meaningful smile. Her tone was emotionless. “Surprised about what? Surprised that I would run into you and Lu Shangyi secretly dating?”

Afraid that Song Wanying would settle the score with her, Qiao Yu quickly changed the subject. She pointed at her hand with a hint of curiosity. “Sister Song, what is that you’re holding?”

“You mean this?” Song Wanying held up the white paper with black letters. She smiled faintly and said as Qiao Yu’s premonition gradually grew worse. “The match result between me and you is 100%…” She paused, and then said unhurriedly, “The match result.”

“Match result?” Lu Shangyi lowered her head and stared at Qiao Yu. Her eyes were like she was looking at a cheating scumbag. “And it’s 100%?”

“So Ye Yunjian, Jiang Mei, and your Sister Song are all 100% matches with you?”

Song Wanying didn’t know that Qiao Yu had several matches. When she heard that, she frowned and also lowered her head to stare at Qiao Yu. A hint of a dark emotion appeared in her eyes. “She has more than one match besides me?”

Lu Shangyi’s voice was calm as she sold Qiao Yu out. “From what I know, there are at least three.”

Qiao Yu clearly saw Song Wanying’s expression immediately become serious. “Three?!” She was obviously a little shocked by this result. “But she told me today that her best friend is also her match.”

After their eyes met, Lu Shangyi and Song Wanying both turned their heads at the same time and looked at Qiao Yu, and asked in a clear voice, “So there are a total of five, right?”

Qiao Yu: “?” Why did it suddenly become five?!

Don’t you dare frame me!
