After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 34
Qiao Yu was put on the spot by Ye Yunjian.
She could only nod with a stiff expression, which was considered an admission.
Lu Shangyi reached out her long fingers and took the blind date list from Ye Yunjian’s hand.
She flipped through two pages.
Her deep eyes showed no emotion, and her voice was so low it seemed to come from deep in her throat.
“New friends?”
She lifted her thin eyelids and looked at the child with a half-smile.
“You like making friends with Alphas and Omegas that much?”
After a second’s pause, Lu Shangyi’s tall figure leaned in.
“But you don’t like Betas?”
If she admitted that, it would be a huge problem!
Qiao Yu didn’t dare to look directly at Lu Shangyi’s beautiful face.
Her gaze instinctively looked away.
She was racking her brain for an excuse when she heard the pleasant sound of high heels clacking on the floor behind her.
Then, Mrs. Qiao’s soft voice sounded.
“I hope I’m not interrupting.”
Mom?!
Qiao Yu’s eyes lit up.
She ran over and enthusiastically threw herself into Mrs. Qiao’s arms.
“Mom, why are you here?!”
She was so surprised and happy.
She held onto Mrs. Qiao’s arm tightly, as if she was afraid she would run away.
She noticed that after Mrs. Qiao appeared, the three of them all quieted down.
Qiao Yu’s eyes darted around, and the smile on her face gradually became perverse.
When did Auntie Ye become afraid of Mrs. Qiao?
She looked at Lu Shangyi and Song Wanying.
Every single one of them was as obedient as a little lamb.
Their dominant auras had all been retracted.
They looked less aggressive than high school students.
Suddenly, Qiao Yu’s eyelids twitched several times.
These people… Why do they have two faces?
They just think I’m easy to bully.
Mrs. Qiao lowered her head, wanting to pull her daughter out of her arms.
However, Qiao Yu was like a piece of plaster.
No matter how hard she tried, it was no use.
After a few struggles, Mrs. Qiao gave up.
She looked up at Lu Shangyi, and her tone became gentle without a trace.
“I prepared that for Qiao Yu.”
Qiao Yu, who was still clinging to Mrs. Qiao, immediately winked at Ye Yunjian and the others like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
Let’s see if you dare to say anything about me now.
Ignoring her daughter, who was showing off, Mrs. Qiao slowly walked over and motioned for the three of them to sit down.
“She’ll be an adult at the end of the month. Shortly after she becomes an adult, Yu Yu will differentiate.”
Mrs. Qiao said with a smile.
“Her father wants to arrange Yu Yu’s marriage as soon as possible.”
Mrs. Qiao opened her mouth, then suddenly closed it.
Her dark eyes stared at Qiao Yu, who was not leaving her side.
“Go upstairs.”
Qiao Yu: “?”
“Kids shouldn’t listen to adults talking.”
Her attitude was firm, as if she wouldn’t speak until Qiao Yu left.
Qiao Yu was helpless.
She could only take one step back for every three steps she took forward.
She was very reluctant to look at her from afar.
“Abnormality indicates a problem.”
Qiao Yu muttered.
She pretended that she had returned to her room.
Then, as soon as she was out of their sight, she immediately squatted down and slowly walked back, hiding in the nearest spot to listen.
Ye Yunjian leaned lazily on the sofa.
One hand was propping up her chin, and the other was lightly tapping her thigh as she asked, “Isn’t it too early?”
There were many people who got engaged before or as soon as they became adults, but the Qiao family had never been this eager.
Ye Yunjian narrowed her eyes and looked at the composed Omega.
“Has the Qiao family not had enough after taking so much these past few days?”
Her words contained a hint of veiled hostility.
The air pressure around them instantly dropped, creating a tense atmosphere.
The woman’s expression didn’t change.
Although she was a frail Omega, her aura was not weaker than Ye Yunjian and Song Wanying.
She smiled sweetly, with a tone that made Qiao Yu feel like she was challenging Ye Yunjian.
“The fact that I can get it means I have the ability.”
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point again because of that one short sentence.
Qiao Yu was scared to death.
Was her hardcore mother going to take on all three of them?
Please don’t!
Song Wanying looked at Mrs. Qiao without saying anything.
Her stunningly beautiful face was devoid of all emotion, looking a little profound.
Lu Shangyi was holding the blind date list.
She didn’t think Mrs. Qiao’s purpose was to consolidate the Qiao family’s position through marriage.
Her eyelashes fluttered down.
A moment later, Lu Shangyi’s voice broke the tense atmosphere.
“You want to find a qualified person to protect her.”
She said it with certainty, instantly attracting Ye Yunjian’s and Song Wanying’s attention.
Protect Qiao Yu?
Qiao Yu had arms and legs, and she was about to differentiate into an Alpha.
Why would she need someone to protect her?
It was more likely that she would be protecting others.
Mrs. Qiao turned her eyes to Lu Shangyi in surprise.
She was very satisfied with Lu Shangyi.
She said with a hint of sincerity, “If you weren’t an Omega, you would be at least in my top three.”
At least.
Lu Shangyi’s calm eyes flickered slightly.
The subtext was that she was currently ranked fourth.
Mrs. Qiao didn’t want to reveal too much right now.
She just gave a few hints.
“Be a little more patient and gentle with Yu Yu during this time. It won’t hurt you.”
Qiao Yu was touched, but then she heard her mother ruthlessly change her mind.
“But if she’s really disobedient, it’s not a problem for you to give her a good beating on my behalf.”
Qiao Yu: “…”
The woman seemed to have said a bunch of nonsense.
Ye Yunjian and Song Wanying tried to see something different on Mrs. Qiao’s face.
Only Lu Shangyi was deep in thought, as if she understood something.
A moment later, Qiao Yu heard it become completely silent below.
Before she could get up, Mrs. Qiao’s faint voice came from the living room.
“Come out. Stop hiding.”
Qiao Yu didn’t move.
Then, the other person’s slightly helpless voice sounded again.
“I can already see your skirt.”
Qiao Yu glanced behind her.
She quickly pulled her skirt up.
She showed up with a blank and questioning look.
“Mom, why did they leave?”
Mrs. Qiao was too lazy to expose her.
She walked gracefully to her daughter and quietly stared at her for a long time.
When she made Qiao Yu feel uncomfortable, she finally looked away.
She gently raised her hand and straightened the long hair by Qiao Yu’s cheek.
“Yu Yu, no matter what happens in the future, you have to be strong.”
Qiao Yu was filled with questions.
Facing her uncharacteristically gentle mother, she subconsciously raised her finger and swore to the sky, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely bring back the top spot this time.”
“If I don’t get first place, I won’t go out and play again before the end of this semester.”
When the woman heard that, she smiled faintly with pursed lips.
She shook her head without a change in her expression.
Mrs. Qiao picked up her bag and left.
“Get some rest.”
In Qiao Yu’s memory, Mrs. Qiao was mostly serious and didn’t have much control over her.
Now, she was suddenly giving her chicken soup and hinting to Auntie Ye and the others that she was getting engaged.
Something was definitely wrong.
She couldn’t figure out what the problem was, so she could only focus on the exam with all her energy.
The exam questions this time weren’t too difficult.
After finishing one subject, Qiao Yu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Suppressing her urge to go and test Jiang Mei, Qiao Yu didn’t let go of her tutoring materials even during her breaks, showing the attitude of a top student.
Jiang Mei noticed Qiao Yu’s frequent glances and guessed what she was thinking.
The other person’s gaze was too fiery, and she couldn’t help but care.
When the afternoon exam was about to end, she looked at her neatly written answer sheet.
Her pen stopped.
She deliberately wrote down two wrong answers.
Jiang Mei put the cap back on her pen with an expressionless face and left the examination hall early.
She intentionally messed up the next few subjects as well.
She pretended to be careless and wrote down similar answers to the questions she clearly shouldn’t have gotten wrong, making her hidden intentions not so easy to understand.
Getting first or second place didn’t make a difference to her.
The only person she cared about was Qiao Yu.
When Qiao Yu was happy, she was happy.
When Qiao Yu was sad, she was sad too.
Jiang Mei left the exam hall early again.
Qiao Yu bit her pen cap and blinked at Jiang Mei’s back.
She’s done again?
She was able to remain calm, but the others in the exam hall were starting to lose it.
What kind of monster is Jiang Mei?
How can she finish every subject so much earlier than everyone else?
After writing the last answer, Qiao Yu also quickly handed in her paper and left the exam hall, followed by Meng E, who was ranked third in their grade this time.
Looking at the empty seats, the others went crazy.
After the entire exam officially ended this afternoon, Qiao Yu stopped Jiang Mei.
“Do you want to have dinner together tonight?”
She approached her with a bright smile.
“My treat.”
Jiang Mei lowered her eyes and gently shook her head.
“I have to go home today.”
Go home?
To her aunt’s house?
Thinking of Jiang Jinfeng, who hadn’t appeared in a long time, Qiao Yu immediately said, “I’ll get some people to go back with you.”
She was afraid that the greedy woman would bully Jiang Mei again.
“I have time tonight.”
But Jiang Mei still refused her.
“I can handle it.”
She didn’t want Qiao Yu to see her in a sorry state again.
She wanted to have a halo every time she appeared in front of Qiao Yu.
Jiang Mei’s attitude was firm.
No matter what Qiao Yu said, she wouldn’t budge.
Qiao Yu was worried but also a little relieved.
“The female lead has grown up and doesn’t need her mom anymore.”
She was happy that Jiang Mei had a heart that wanted to handle problems on her own.
However, her clear black and white eyes stared at the other person.
She said stubbornly, “Then if you can’t handle it, call me.”
Jiang Mei pursed her lips and agreed.
“Okay.”
When Meng E left the exam hall, she only saw Qiao Yu alone.
She quickly came over.
“Where’s Jiang Mei?”
“She went home,” Qiao Yu said.
“To deal with some things.”
Meng E was a little worried, but seeing that Qiao Yu was very calm, she suppressed her thoughts.
“I hope everything goes well for her.”
The detached house, which was eighteen years old, was a little dilapidated, but fortunately, it was large, in a good location, and in a school district, so it was very valuable.
Jiang Mei stood at the door and heard sounds from inside.
Her aunt, her gambler husband, and her cousin were all at home.
Jiang Mei clenched her hand and walked in.
The family was about to have dinner.
The big fish and meat on the table were steaming and very tempting.
Jiang Jinfeng hadn’t even started eating yet.
Seeing Jiang Mei suddenly appear, she vigilantly blocked the table.
“Why are you back?”
She was very displeased.
You didn’t come back earlier or later, but you had to come back when it was almost time to eat?
Wasn’t this on purpose?
Jiang Jinfeng crossed her arms and sneered.
“I thought you died outside.”
She looked Jiang Mei up and down.
Seeing that she looked well, she immediately felt unbalanced.
“You’ve been doing well outside lately.”
Jiang Mei looked much better than before.
Her face had more meat on it.
She wasn’t as thin and gloomy as before, and her clothes looked much more expensive.
Jiang Jinfeng took a big step toward her.
“At such a young age, you’re learning those shady ways from outside and getting a sugar daddy.
You’ve brought shame to our Jiang family.”
Jiang Mei didn’t want to argue today.
She expressionlessly walked past Jiang Jinfeng to her small room.
She didn’t pay any attention to the other person’s nasty words.
But Jiang Jinfeng didn’t give up.
All kinds of unbearable words came out of her mouth.
They were harsh and malicious.
Jiang Mei squatted down and pulled out the cardboard box under the bed.
She had already decided to cut ties with her aunt’s family.
She only came back this time to take her only two precious things.
But as soon as she pulled the box out, she sensitively noticed that something was wrong.
The things she had neatly packed before she left were now a mess.
Some papers and books had obviously been looked through.
Her sharp gaze turned to her.
A suppressed anger was in her eyes.
“You went through my private belongings.”
Her tone was firm.
Her gloomy face scared Jiang Jinfeng.
Her heart beat a few times against her will.
Jiang Jinfeng tried to maintain her power and sneered in a rebuttal.
“Your private belongings? What private belongings could you have? Everything you own belongs to this family!”
Under Jiang Mei’s direct stare, Jiang Jinfeng subconsciously avoided her gaze.
“Jiang Mei, let me tell you. I worked so hard to raise you. You’ll never be able to cut ties with this family in your life.”
“When you graduate next year, you have to go out and work to support Zixuan.”
Jiang Mei stared at her distorted and domineering face.
The last bit of affection she had for this family completely disappeared.
She silently took the photos from the box and put them in her backpack.
Jiang Mei stood up and stood in front of Jiang Jinfeng with a cold expression.
“Get out of the way.”
Jiang Jinfeng suddenly felt that if Jiang Mei left today, she would never come back.
Jiang Jinfeng swore to block the door.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“Jiang Mei, I won’t hold it against you for the secret money you hid before, but…”
She asked for a huge amount of money.
“I raised you for eighteen years. I’ve worked hard even if I haven’t been successful. You have to compensate me with five million in alimony.”
“Otherwise, I’ll go to the television station and make you infamous. You’ll never be able to hold your head up again.”
When she finished speaking, the other person’s emotionless gaze fell on her.
Jiang Jinfeng felt a little guilty for no reason.
Duan Zixuan heard this and also ran over.
“Mom, how is two million enough? You raised her all this time. You should ask for at least five million.”
Five million might not even be enough to buy a good house now.
If he didn’t have a good house, how could he marry a wife?
His dad was a gambler and had squandered most of the family’s savings.
If he didn’t get more money from Jiang Mei, he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
Duan Zixuan’s reminder made Jiang Jinfeng realize.
“That’s right, five million. You have to give me five million in alimony. Otherwise, I’ll let everyone see your ungrateful face.”
She didn’t really want to see Jiang Mei’s annoying face anymore, so she said, “If you pay the money all at once, you can do whatever you want in the future, and I won’t bother you anymore.”
The temperature in Jiang Mei’s dark eyes dropped even more.
Without saying a word, she used her pheromones to force the two of them to back away.
Jiang Mei held her backpack tightly and strode out of the place that couldn’t be called a home to her.
Everything here didn’t belong to her.
The only things that belonged to her were those heavy and cold memories.
But fortunately, she had finally found her little sun.
The fact that Jiang Mei had moved out of her house and rented a place was not hidden from Qiao Yu, but when Qiao Yu said she would go over to help, she rejected Qiao Yu’s kindness as always.
“I’ve already finished packing.”
She didn’t have many things anyway, so there was nothing to pack.
If she let Qiao Yu come over, it would only let her see her sorry state.
She wasn’t willing to show her vulnerable side in front of the other person anymore.
Qiao Yu couldn’t get her to agree, so she just ordered a bunch of things online and had them sent to her as a housewarming gift.
This time, Jiang Mei didn’t refuse and accepted everything.
Qiao Yu lay on the sofa with her phone.
Auntie Zhang said from the side, “Yu Yu, this is the invitation list your mother made. Take it and get familiar with it.”
When the Qiao family decided to throw a big coming-of-age party for their daughter, the invitations flew like snowflakes to all parts of the country.
Because the Qiao family had risen so powerfully recently and because Qiao Yu was at a marriageable age, a group of people with ulterior motives began to secretly prepare, especially the Omegas who were around the same age as Qiao Yu.
The Omegas started dieting and getting beauty treatments at least a month in advance.
They didn’t even blink when they spent money.
It didn’t matter if they spent a little more money now.
As long as they were noticed by the Qiao family, all of the Qiao family’s money would be theirs in the future.
There was no need
to pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.
Because of the rumors, even some of Tang Shu’s Omegas started to follow suit.
Tang Shu was very unhappy right now.
Very, very unhappy.
Although she and Qiao Yu had grown up together as childhood friends, they had always been rivals.
They had always been in a relationship where they had to fight to the finish.
The person who was similar to her had suddenly become a hot commodity on the blind date market because she was about to differentiate into an Alpha.
Tang Shu immediately lost the mood to be in a relationship.
At this time, her partner was being annoying.
Tang Shu lost her temper and immediately broke up with her.
But just two hours after the breakup, Qiao Yu found out about it from who-knows-where and quickly called her.
“I heard you broke up?”
Tang Shu frowned unhappily.
“I’ll be in a relationship when I want to be in one and break up when I want to. Does it bother you?”
Her words were prickly.
Qiao Yu’s eyes curved into a smile.
“No. It’s just that it’s hard for me not to think more when you suddenly break up at this time.”
Her tone was mischievous.
Tang Shu immediately reacted and angrily denied it.
“You’re really overthinking it this time.”
“I would rather like a pig than like you.”
Qiao Yu wasn’t angry.
She still had a smile in her voice when she spoke.
“I’ll be waiting for you.”
Tang Shu didn’t ask what she was waiting for, but it definitely wasn’t anything good.
Tang Shu held her phone and thought viciously,
A person like Qiao Yu should differentiate into an Omega who everyone can bully.
Let’s see how arrogant she can be then.
Qiao Yu didn’t care too much about Tang Shu’s breakup.
She was in and out of relationships all the time, and none of them were serious.
She put her phone aside.
Qiao Yu was inexplicably nervous about her grades.
Fortunately, Ye Yunjian, Song Wanying, and Lu Shangyi had all been busy with their own things since they talked with Mrs. Qiao that day and hadn’t come to see her again.
While Qiao Yu was relieved, she couldn’t help but feel a little empty.
“Although I was scared when they bullied me, now that they’re not here, I feel like something is missing from my life.”
The system’s wise eyes had already seen everything.
“Host, you’re just asking for it.”
“You don’t understand,” Qiao Yu said, shaking her head.
“This is called a little bit of fun.”
She sighed regretfully.
“It’s a shame I have to wait until the end of the month to become an adult.”
You can only do bad things after you become an adult.
You can’t do anything before you become an adult.
Qiao Yu counted on her fingers.
“I haven’t touched a girl’s little hand in years.”
The last time she touched Lu Shangyi’s hand, she was almost eaten by her.
Lu Shangyi at that time still made Qiao Yu feel scared now that she thought about it.
Qiao Yu was puzzled.
“Can Omegas be that fierce?”
But when she thought of her equally fierce mother, she immediately felt relieved.
Qiao Yu anxiously waited for several days.
The exam results finally came out.
Her homeroom teacher was the first to send her a congratulatory message.
After getting first place again, Qiao Yu was so happy that she immediately ran to Qiao Jinghuai next door to ask for money.
“Dad, I got first place. Can you give me another five million? I’m saving it for my wife.”
Qiao Jinghuai got a headache as soon as he opened his mouth.
He got an even bigger headache when he heard her ask for five million at once.
“Don’t even think about it.”
“Do you think money just blows in the wind or falls from the sky?”
Qiao Yu frowned.
“So stingy. It’s just five million, isn’t it? If I can’t find a partner in the future, it’s all your fault.”
When Mrs. Qiao heard that, she lightly raised her eyelids.
“I’ll give it to you.”
Qiao Yu’s lips curved into a smile.
She quickly ran over and diligently massaged her shoulders.
“Mom is the best.”
She massaged her over and over.
“It’s the same account number, Mom.
Don’t transfer it to the wrong one.”
“I know,” Mrs. Qiao answered.
Qiao Jinghuai saw his wife spoiling his daughter so much and wanted to say something, but his wife gave him a look.
He immediately shut his mouth and didn’t dare to say anything.
Qiao Yu laughed at him.
“Dad, you don’t look like an Alpha at all anymore.”
Qiao Jinghuai turned his head away, too lazy to talk to her.
After successfully getting the money, Qiao Yu was in a great mood.
After asking Meng E for her grade, she tentatively asked about Jiang Mei’s total score.
Meng E didn’t hide it and told her directly.
“This time, she got twenty points less than you, but she still got second place.”
Twenty points less?
Qiao Yu was confused.
No way.
It’s impossible for her to drop that many points at once.
On the other end, Meng E moved her fingers, wanting to tell Qiao Yu her guess.
But after a moment of hesitation, she decided against it.
She couldn’t be 100% sure that her reasoning was correct, so it was better not to cause any trouble.
Because Qiao Yu successfully got first place, the meticulously prepared Omegas put in even more effort to dress themselves up.
They were determined to shock everyone at Qiao Yu’s coming-of-age party and take down this plump prey on the spot.
Qiao Yu was completely unaware of all this.
She happily took the five million in cash and stacked it up in her bedroom as a reward for herself.
She walked over with a great mood and touched it.
She calculated that with the other five million her mother promised to give her, it would be all the betrothal money for her wife.
As for the house, car, and other things, she would ask her family for them later.
When she differentiated, she would give all ten million to whoever agreed to marry her.
Qiao Yu looked at the pile of cash and fell into deep thought.
“I wonder if Sister Lu would even care about this small amount of money.”
Lu Shangyi was Qiao Yu’s first choice.
Although she was a delicate Omega, she was beautiful, had a thin waist, and long legs.
She felt very soft to hold.
Even if her personality was a little domineering sometimes, it didn’t matter.
It was even more exciting.
As her birthday approached, Qiao Yu couldn’t help but look forward to her differentiation.
Her birthday was on a weekend.
The hotel owned by the Qiao family was filled with limited edition luxury cars.
The men were gentlemanly, and the women were radiant and charming.
The scene was very eye-catching.
To celebrate their daughter’s birthday, the couple had invited almost half of the most powerful people in the country.
Faces that were rarely seen usually were appearing one after another today.
The media didn’t know who to point their cameras at, so they just started taking pictures randomly, and a lucky person would be chosen for the headline.
Under Mrs. Qiao’s forced request, Qiao Yu wore a pink-smoke, form-fitting dress.
Her skin was fair, her frame was small, and her facial features were delicate.
With a head of thick, dark, and slightly curled hair, she had a mix of a delicate girl and a hint of a tempting and alluring charm.
Qiao Jinghuai was still in a daze, impressed by his daughter’s beauty, when he heard her say something disappointing.
“Dad, it’s my birthday today. You have to give me a big red envelope, right? How about a two-million-dollar one?”
Qiao Jinghuai silently looked away.
He thought regretfully, She’s pretty, but it’s a shame she has a mouth.
It wasn’t time yet, so Mrs. Qiao wouldn’t let Qiao Yu go out and show her face.
Bored, Qiao Yu picked up her phone and checked Meng E’s and Jiang Mei’s whereabouts.
After finding out that they were about to arrive at the hotel, she specifically arranged for people to go and welcome them.
There were still two or three hours until the party officially started.
Qiao Yu was really bored, so she quietly snuck out of the room.
But she didn’t dare to go far.
She just wandered around the room.
As she was walking, a tall and elegant figure appeared in front of her.
The other person was on the phone.
The watch on her wrist showed her extraordinary status and wealth.
The woman’s strong sixth sense told Qiao Yu that the other person was a very genetically superior Alpha.
Her gaze uncontrollably looked at the other person’s straight back and waist.
Through the glass in front of the woman, she could vaguely see her face.
It was very deep and three-dimensional, and her expression was very gentle, but it made people feel unapproachable.
At the same time, she exuded an aura of “This Alpha has seen through the mortal world. Don’t bother me, you seductive Omegas.”
Qiao Yu propped her chin on her hand and thought, What does her being a seductive Omega repeller have to do with me, a fierce Alpha?
So, seeing that the other person had put her phone away, she walked over with a graceful posture and revealed a perfect smile.
She said with the right amount of politeness, “Hello.”
Bai Yiyu had already noticed the sneaky little girl behind her, but the other person hadn’t come close for a long time, so she didn’t pay attention.
Now that the other person’s voice was soft and just right,
she gently turned around.
“What is it?”
Now that they were closer, Qiao Yu realized that the other person had an indescribable alluring scent on her.
Especially those peach blossom eyes that held a hint of a smile.
They were as addictive as a drug.
Qiao Yu’s eyes curved.
She loved it!
She cleared her throat and forced out two pitiful tears.
Her dark eyes, filled with water, looked up at Bai Yiyu.
“My parents won’t let me leave the room, but I’m so lonely and scared in there by myself. So, can you, kind Auntie, come and keep me company?”
Bai Yiyu glanced at her eyes, which had no tears in them.
“Are you an adult?”
