After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 28
Qiao Yu let out a silent “wow” to the system. “I really should believe in metaphysics.”
Something with such a low probability was actually happening to her, so she wouldn’t be surprised even if Ye Yunjian suddenly appeared in front of her. But it would be better if Auntie Ye didn’t get involved. Sister Song and Sister Lu were already enough for her to handle.
Enduring their sharp gazes, Qiao Yu tried to speak while pretending to be calm, but when their eyebrows moved slightly, the words immediately got stuck in her throat.
In this situation, it seemed that no matter what she said, they wouldn’t believe her.
Song Wanying put away the test result slip in her hand. Her charming, smiling face carried a hint of a murderous aura. “So it turns out I was just flattering myself.”
Don’t, please don’t say that. Qiao Yu wanted to explain, but every time she was about to open her mouth, Song Wanying’s beautiful eyes would narrow slightly with displeasure, completely interrupting Qiao Yu’s attempt. Song Wanying slowly folded the piece of paper over and over again. “I even worried that the result would be inaccurate, so I specifically took two tests.”
Her voice from deep in her throat was full of regret. Song Wanying’s lowered eyelashes trembled slightly. “Heh.”
She looked like a heart-broken scumbag who had been hurt. Qiao Yu’s scalp tightened. She moved her fingers, wanting to comfort her, but Lu Shangyi’s heavy gaze suddenly drifted and landed on her half-raised hand. Qiao Yu looked worried and was in a difficult position. Finally, she said from the bottom of her heart, “How about you two sisters chop me up and sprinkle me in the hot spring water to liven things up for you later?”
She spoke with all her heart, but Lu Shangyi’s eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at her. Her voice was just loud enough to fall into Qiao Yu’s ears. “Bad luck.”
Song Wanying agreed. “Why would we use you instead of beautiful flower petals?”
Qiao Yu was speechless. At this moment, Song Wanying slapped the folded report slip into her palm. Her low voice was gentle and pleasant. “Remember, keep it safe.” She smiled sweetly. “If it ever goes missing…”
“I’ll definitely keep it safe, I’ll definitely keep it safe. Even if I turn to ashes one day, this thing will never be lost.” Qiao Yu’s back felt cold. She quickly and carefully put the item into her backpack. Afraid that Song Wanying wasn’t satisfied, she even deliberately slipped the report into her textbook.
Song Wanying’s expression finally softened. She clapped her hands and said in a lazy tone, “Let’s go.”
Her gaze first swept past Lu Shangyi. When their eyes met, the air pressure around them dropped by several degrees. Qiao Yu hugged her backpack and didn’t dare to say anything or ask anything. After a brief clash, Song Wanying left with a smile on her lips. In contrast, Lu Shangyi’s expression was still calm and unaffected.
Qiao Yu twitched her nose and realized that the scent of pheromones in the air was a little stronger. She looked at Lu Shangyi with a confused expression and asked, “Did Sister Song just release her pheromones to suppress you, Sister?”
Lu Shangyi blinked. “You’re that sensitive to your Sister Song’s pheromones?”
“Which one smells better, your Sister Song’s pheromones or your Auntie Ye’s?” Lu Shangyi’s tone was flat. “Or are mine better?”
The system also came to join in the fun. “Excuse me, miss, did you drop a golden axe or a silver axe?”
Qiao Yu was in a daze. She reflexively opened her mouth and said, “I dropped a silver axe.”
Lu Shangyi’s probing gaze fell on her instantly annoyed face. Qiao Yu glared fiercely at the system and gritted her teeth, winking at her: See how I’ll deal with you later. Lu Shangyi looked in the direction of her gaze, where there was no one. “So you mean none of them smell good?”
In Qiao Yu’s horrified eyes, she smiled and said, “Is that so?”
She lowered her face, and her emotionless gaze stayed on her face. “I see.”
The other party didn’t give her a chance to speak. In the end, she even heartlessly kicked Qiao Yu out of the hot spring club. “You’re a high school student. What are you doing here instead of studying properly?” Lu Shangyi somehow knew her exam scores. Even her voice was smiling. “You can’t even get first place, yet you still want to chase after me.”
Qiao Yu felt like she was being mocked, but she had no evidence.
Lu Shangyi turned and walked back in her loose bathrobe. Her posture was elegant and graceful as she walked up the stairs, like she was walking in the breeze. Qiao Yu watched for a few moments, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly asked the system, “Why did I come here today?”
Didn’t she come to help Jiang Mei find her aunt? How could she give up so easily when she hadn’t found her yet?
Just as she was about to sneak back, Qiao Yu saw Lu Shangyi leaning lazily against the doorway with a glass of juice in her hand. She was smiling as she watched her, as if to say: “I’m watching you.”
Qiao Yu’s legs froze. She stood still for a long time. Lu Shangyi seemed to have seen through her thoughts. She gently put the juice on the round window. Her hands, with their elegant bone structure, gently pulled her bathrobe together, and she strode towards Qiao Yu with her long legs. Her figure was graceful. She shuffled in her slippers slowly, and every frame was as beautiful as a painting.
Her heart started beating faster. Qiao Yu was shocked and immediately turned and ran.
The child quickly ran away without a trace. Lu Shangyi finally stopped and looked thoughtfully at her disappearing back.
Qiao Yu hid in a corner and breathed carefully. She secretly poked her head out to look outside. She didn’t see Lu Shangyi, but she saw Lu Shenghui coming out of the shop next door. She quickly turned her back. Qiao Yu frowned. He’s here too? Is he pretending to be here on business to monitor Lu Shangyi because he knows she’s at the hot spring?
Seeing the group walk into the small pub next door, Qiao Yu quietly followed and sat at the table next to Lu Shenghui’s. She ordered two random dishes. Qiao Yu turned on the recording function on her phone and placed it next to her, listening intently to the conversation behind her. If this scumbag dared to conspire against Lu Shangyi in broad daylight, this recording would be the evidence.
Qiao Yu ate while listening to the conversation at the next table, which went from north to south, but they didn’t talk much about Lu Shangyi. Qiao Yu frowned. Just as she was wondering if she was overthinking it, she suddenly realized that it was quiet behind her. The voices were gone.
They left? Qiao Yu was shocked. She quickly turned around, but through the narrow gap, her eyes met Lu Shenghui’s gloomy eyes. Qiao Yu gasped and quickly reacted, taking the lead to accuse him. “What are you doing? You scared me!”
“Why are you looking at me with such a gloomy expression for no reason?” She pretended to be scared and patted her chest. “Oh my god, one look from you and I’ll have nightmares for months.”
Lu Shenghui sneered when he heard that. “What are you doing here?”
“Why can’t I come?” Qiao Yu was curious. “Is this your house? Is this your private backyard? Tourists not allowed?”
Lu Shenghui had nothing to say in response. He simply got up and sat across from Qiao Yu, looking her up and down with an unclear gaze. Qiao Yu subconsciously avoided his gaze, but after a moment, she turned her head back and threatened fiercely, “If you keep looking at me, I’ll call Sister Song to beat you up.”
Lu Shenghui playfully turned his cup, his eyes fixed on her without moving. Qiao Yu frowned slightly. Doesn’t Song Wanying’s name work? She cleared her throat, and her expression became more fierce. “And Auntie Ye.” She raised her chin. “Auntie Ye Yunjian? Do you know her? She can crush ten people like you with one hand!”
When Ye Yunjian was mentioned, the tall man finally reacted. “You know her?” As if he felt that he had asked a meaningless question, Lu Shenghui put down his cup. His thin and pale face became serious. “Are you very close to her?”
Qiao Yu used a false show of authority, her expression arrogant. “Of course.”
She gradually got carried away with herself. “As long as I make one phone call, even if Auntie Ye and Sister Song are busy, they’ll rush over to teach you a lesson.”
Lu Shenghui stared at her with a look of unknown meaning for a long time. Qiao Yu dodged his gaze and conveniently picked up her phone. “If you don’t believe me, I can call them right now.” She said without much force. “Sister Song is filming nearby. She can be here in ten minutes.”
When Lu Shenghui heard that, he put away the scrutinizing look in his eyes and asked casually, “Are you about to turn into an adult?”
Qiao Yu frowned, realizing that things were not simple. After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Yu was shocked and got up with her backpack. “I’m telling you, don’t have any ideas about me. You might not have women who like you, but I do!”
“This is not negotiable!” Qiao Yu’s face was firm. “Besides, you’re so much older than me. If you were any older, you could be my dad!”
“How dare you have designs on a beautiful high school student like me?!”
Lu Shenghui’s expression was not good. His eyes were cold, and Qiao Yu shivered. However, Qiao Yu’s words seemed to have touched on one of his memories. His expression became slightly blank, and he didn’t immediately scold Qiao Yu for her nonsense.
Qiao Yu was about to look into it, but Lu Shenghui had already come back to his senses. His tall figure carried a threatening aura. “You have a good relationship with Song Wanying and Ye Yunjian, so your parents went after the Lu family and made them their enemy.” He paused. The smile on his face was eerie. “Is that right?”
Qiao Yu had to stand up for her old mother. “You’re overthinking it. When my parents go crazy, they don’t let anyone off the hook.” Qiao Yu asked him very sincerely, “Haven’t you been watching the recent financial news? Sister Song’s family and Auntie Ye’s family seem to be in a worse situation than you.”
She coaxed him. “Isn’t that how business works? I win, you lose? Don’t be so emotional. After all, you can’t blame others if you’re not as skilled as they are. Don’t you agree?”
When she saw Lu Shenghui’s deep eyes, the smile on Qiao Yu’s face froze. She decisively changed the subject. “Did you come here just to chat with me?”
After her reminder, Lu Shenghui remembered his purpose. “You’ve been very close to my sister recently.”
This wasn’t a question. He said it very firmly, so he must have investigated it long ago. Qiao Yu smiled guiltily and tried to play dumb. “After all, Sister Lu is so charming. Which Alpha in the capital wouldn’t want to marry her?” She blinked. “Even though I’m still young, I’m a pervert.”
“You want to marry her?” Lu Shenghui’s tone was unreadable. He looked at Qiao Yu with deep eyes for a long time. After some consideration, he said unhurriedly, “If you help me with something, I’ll marry her to you.”
“How about it?”
Qiao Yu was stunned. There’s such a good thing?
A passionate smile immediately appeared on her face. “Brother, please tell me.”
Lu Shenghui didn’t correct her form of address. He slowly relaxed his tense back. “Just tell me everything you know about my sister from now on.” Lu Shenghui looked like he was thinking about Lu Shangyi. “Her body is so weak. If something happens to her outside, I can react in time. Don’t you agree?”
Isn’t this just a disguised form of surveillance? Qiao Yu was secretly disgusted. After pretending to be troubled for a while, Qiao Yu gave in to the temptation of beauty and nodded in agreement. “Then you can’t go back on your word.”
Qiao Yu frowned and said, “If you marry Sister Lu to someone else beforehand, I’ll complain to my parents and have them ruin you.”
Lu Shenghui just sneered and didn’t argue, which meant he agreed.
After Lu Shenghui got up and left, Qiao Yu was worried, holding her phone. She wanted to record a conversation about Lu Shenghui conspiring to harm Lu Shangyi, but she ended up recording evidence of herself being hired by Lu Shenghui to be a spy. But it was fine for her to be a spy. At least everything was under control. If it were someone else, who knows if they would exaggerate things and make Lu Shenghui even more wary of his sister.
It was okay for her to be a spy and suffer a little. The most important thing was that it was very happy that Sister Lu wouldn’t be married off in a short time.
Qiao Yu was in a good mood. “Although I didn’t help the female lead find her aunt today, I found a wife for myself.”
The system retorted with an expressionless face: “The female lead wants to come at you with a forty-meter-long sword after hearing that.”
“…”
Qiao Yu stayed until the mall was about to close. She put down her chopsticks with satisfaction. Qiao Yu looked at the empty plates and didn’t move or say a word. The system saw her staring for a long time and was full of questions. “What’s wrong, Host?”
Qiao Yu frowned, her tone very incredulous. “Why do I eat more and more recently?”
She’s not pregnant. How could she eat so much after dinner?!
The system was not surprised and said, “Haven’t you noticed that you’ve been eating a lot recently? But it’s normal. Your body needs a lot more energy during differentiation than usual. You won’t gain weight no matter how much you eat.”
Qiao Yu’s ears twitched. When she heard the words “won’t gain weight,” she decisively put down the worry in her heart. Although Alphas don’t need to deliberately stay in shape, if an Alpha can’t even manage her own body, how can she have a place in the competitive marriage market?
Qiao Yu was very aware of this. After returning home, she even went to the scale to weigh herself. But just as she was about to get off, Qiao Yu’s vision suddenly went black, and the next second she completely lost consciousness.
The system was shocked. It quickly helped her fall softly. Then it quickly hid when the nanny heard the noise and ran over.
The two connected houses were brightly lit. Qiao Jinghuai and his wife rushed home as soon as they received the call. Qiao Jinghuai walked around the room with his arms crossed. In the end, he couldn’t help but say, “How about we take Yu Yu to the hospital for a checkup? If there’s something wrong, we can…”
“No need.” The words were interrupted by Mrs. Qiao. She stared at her daughter’s pale lips. The emotion on her face was unreadable.
Qiao Jinghuai didn’t know why his wife was so against taking Qiao Yu to the hospital, but this wasn’t the first time their daughter had fainted. If this happened every other day in the future, people would think that their child had some kind of hidden illness. Qiao Jinghuai opened his mouth. “It’s just a checkup. If there’s a problem, we’ll treat it. If there’s no problem, we’ll just consider it money well spent for peace of mind.”
The woman sitting by the bed was still unmoved. Qiao Jinghuai couldn’t help but scratch his face. “Wife…”
Mrs. Qiao finally looked up. Her faint gaze fell on the man. The man’s expression cowered under her gaze. “Whatever you say, my wife.”
The room was too quiet.
Qiao Jinghuai felt uncomfortable, so he made an excuse to slip away. “Then I’ll go downstairs and make some brown sugar poached eggs that Yu Yu likes.”
Sitting by the bed and quietly guarding her daughter, Mrs. Qiao remembered the two different genetic test results she had seen that day.
Suppressing the unease in her heart, Mrs. Qiao subconsciously didn’t think about which one was correct.
Her palm gently caressed her daughter’s pale face. Mrs. Qiao pursed her lips. It was just that Yu Yu’s occasional fainting was exactly like her own when she was differentiating. She closed her eyes. After a suffocating silence, the woman reached out her slender fingers and gently pulled out two strands of hair, putting them into a brand new sealed bag.
After a while, she took out a syringe from her handbag and gently drew some blood.
Qiao Yu had a very, very long dream. Her memories from her past life flashed by at ten times the speed, followed by all the big and small things that had happened in the past two or three years. Qiao Yu looked around blankly. Is she… going to die?
She suddenly became sad. Since she was a child, she had never even touched a girl’s lips, and now she was going to die.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn’t help but cry. At the same time, crying could be heard in her ears. Qiao Yu frowned unhappily. She opened her eyes, wanting to scold the woman who was disturbing her peaceful dream, but she saw her mother’s expressionless face.
She looked around and saw her father also standing there, looking at her with a confused and blank expression. When he saw her open her eyes, Qiao Jinghuai asked her, “Why are you crying? Haven’t I already unfrozen your bank card?”
Was she the one who was crying? Qiao Yu was shocked. She pointed at herself with her finger. “Me?”
Qiao Jinghuai nodded. “Who else? Is this house haunted?”
Seeing her wake up, Mrs. Qiao’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, fell. She didn’t forget to laugh at her daughter. “So dramatic.”
Qiao Yu was so embarrassed that she could have died. She immediately crawled into the blanket and refused to show her head. She was a person who was about to differentiate into an Alpha, a future top Alpha in the capital, a person who was about to turn eighteen, and she actually cried in front of her parents because she had never been in a relationship.
Oh my god, I might as well buy a standing ticket and leave Earth overnight.
Perhaps Mrs. Qiao also felt speechless. She got up, gently closed the door, and left. “There’s food downstairs. Clean yourself up and go eat something.”
After the footsteps were completely gone, Qiao Yu carefully peeked out of the blanket with her eyes. She still couldn’t believe that she was woken up by her own crying. At this moment, her phone vibrated. Qiao Yu picked up the phone next to her pillow and found a message from an unknown number. “I bought a house for her next to yours. You should spend more time with her.”
Qiao Yu thought for a while before she guessed who the number belonged to. “He’s really going to great lengths to monitor Sister Lu.” He even bought a house for Lu Shangyi next to hers. No one else could do something like that.
If Lu Shenghui ever found out that she was actually on Sister Lu’s side, she didn’t know if he would be so angry that he would kill her.
Qiao Yu knew that Lu Shenghui was very wary of Lu Shangyi, but she didn’t expect Lu Shenghui to be so impatient. The next day after school, she found that the dark house next door had lights on. There were silhouettes of people inside, as if they were cleaning the rooms and tidying things up.
After looking for a while, Qiao Yu decided to go over and say hello to Lu Shangyi over the weekend.
After all, Lu Shangyi was probably busy tidying up these days.
However, what surprised her was that people also moved into the house next to hers, which had been vacant for years. Looking at the dark figures of a group of people also tidying up the house, Qiao Yu was full of questions. She couldn’t help but wonder, “System, what do you think? Did our parents become too aggressive in the business world recently, so their enemies found them?”
The more Qiao Yu thought about it, the more sense it made. She quickly pulled the curtains and happened to miss the woman with a domineering aura who got out of the car parked in the garage across the street.
Qiao Yu watched the house across the street for two days and found that another house also had people living in it. Qiao Yu bit her fried dough stick in fear. She hid behind the curtains and watched for a while. She saw a familiar face walk out of the building. Qiao Yu’s eyes were dull. Was that…
Sister Song?!
She rubbed her eyes and looked again. It was indeed Song Wanying. Her assistant, her agent, every face was familiar to her.
Why did Sister Song suddenly move here?
She couldn’t figure it out. It was time to go to school, so she could only quickly grab her soy milk and fried dough stick and get in the car. Qiao Yu frowned and thought. Although it wasn’t a bad thing for Song Wanying to live nearby, she always had a bad feeling in her heart.
Suppressing the unease, on Friday, Qiao Yu almost fainted in the classroom again. Meng E sat in her chair and watched her worriedly. “Yu Yu, are you really okay like this?”
Her throat felt uncomfortable, and her head was dizzy. Qiao Yu uncomfortably tried to take off her jacket, but Meng E stopped her. After a futile struggle, Qiao Yu gave up and said spiritlessly, “I have to be okay even if I’m not. I’m not some delicate Omega.”
But as time went on, she also felt a little uneasy and worried about her increasingly weak body.
If people found out about her sickly appearance, even if she differentiated into an Alpha, not many people would want her. After patiently comforting Meng E, Qiao Yu decided not to go anywhere this weekend. She would just stay home and rest for two days to see if her condition would get better.
However, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw one, two, three… a total of six legs standing in front of her house!
The three people who were chatting heard the noise behind them and turned around in unison.
As their faces came into view, Qiao Yu was so scared that she held her breath. She pointed at Ye Yunjian with a hint of panic. “Auntie Ye, why are you here too?!”
She knew that Lu Shangyi and Song Wanying had moved in, but Auntie Ye??
Qiao Yu’s eyes widened in fear. The soles of her feet felt inexplicably cold, and an indescribable feeling of nervousness surged in her chest, making her want to run away.
Unfortunately, Ye Yunjian didn’t give her a chance.
She was still wearing a neat suit.
Her long legs took dignified steps towards her.
Her figure had a a sense of oppression.
She stood in front of her.
“What, you don’t welcome me?”
