After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 6

Qiao Yu glared at her, annoyed. Do you want to get cursed out again?!

Tang Shu looked away, feeling really unlucky.

She was an Omega, and Qiao Yu was an Alpha. So how was it that they always managed to fall for the same person?

Tang Shu stared dreamily at Lu Shangyi’s back. Although she already had a partner, who could resist a tragic yet beautiful and rich woman like Lu Shangyi, who seemed to need someone to protect her?

Lu Shangyi truly fit Qiao Yu’s ideal of beauty. She subtly sidled up to Tang Shu. “When she looked at me just now, I even thought of the names of our children.”

Tang Shu turned back, her face full of questions. “When did she look at you?”

Qiao Yu just smiled without answering, then took a big step past Tang Shu. “Get ready to attend my wedding tomorrow.”

She walked toward Lu Shangyi. “I suddenly feel like staying here isn’t a bad thing.” Qiao Yu whispered to the system, “Before, people only saw my money but never my beauty or my charming personality. At that time, I desperately wanted a pure and genuine love. I wanted them to like me for me.”

The system was speechless. “…” What a humblebrag.

Lu Shangyi rarely went out. It was only after her mother had persuaded her for a long time that she finally agreed to come out and get some fresh air. She didn’t plan to stay long and was getting ready to leave in a few minutes. She glanced at her watch; it was about time.

Just as she was about to stand up, a sneaky figure popped up beside her and said, “Wait, sister.”

Lu Shangyi looked at the person. She was not tall, with a small frame. Her bones seemed so frail that a light touch would break them. Lu Shangyi didn’t smell any pheromones that she found repulsive. “Are you a minor?”

Lu Shangyi wasn’t interested in minors. She started to walk away, but the person grabbed her. “I’ll be an adult soon, so how about you give me a chance?”

Qiao Yu knew Lu Shangyi was beautiful, but she didn’t realize she was this beautiful until she saw her up close.

Her skin was delicate and fair, with a pearly luster. The moment those cold, watery eyes, which kept people at a distance, glanced at her, Qiao Yu’s heart almost skipped a beat. Qiao Yu’s attention was uncontrollably drawn to her figure. It was a size that could be held in one hand, yet also couldn’t be fully held, leaving her feeling parched and restless.

Sensing Lu Shangyi’s aura suddenly turn cold, Qiao Yu quickly suppressed her beastly thoughts and showed a sweet, harmless smile. “Do you like to play games, sister?”

Lu Shangyi answered without a second thought. “No.”

With that, she turned and left.

The system was worried about its host’s mood and was about to say a few words to comfort her, but Qiao Yu just sighed. “She’s worthy of me. Even her rejection is so charming.”

System: “?”

Tang Shu, seeing that Qiao Yu had been rejected, couldn’t help but feel a little smug. “If Lu Shangyi were easy to get, she’d have kids running around everywhere by now. For years, people have lined up to propose to the Lu family, but not a single person has succeeded.” Tang Shu felt much more at ease. “Besides, all of her suitors are rich and powerful. If she couldn’t care less about them, why would she care about you?”

Qiao Yu didn’t react. Tang Shu couldn’t help but look at her, frowning. “Are you even listening to me?”

“Yes.” Qiao Yu smiled sweetly. “But I’m different from them.”

Money makes the world go round, and where there’s a will, there’s a way. She didn’t believe that with her two-pronged approach, Lu Shangyi could shake her off like a sticky little nuisance.

Qiao Yu rubbed her hands together, wanting to fly home right away and count her assets. She took a step forward and then pulled back. “Darling, don’t forget what you promised me.”

Tang Shu scoffed immediately. “A gentleman’s word is as good as his bond. I’m not like you, who breaks promises.”

This put Qiao Yu at ease. “Then have fun tonight.” With that, she meaningfully raised an eyebrow, gesturing toward the group of Alphas she had so carefully prepared for Tang Shu. Tang Shu’s eyelid twitched, but Qiao Yu had already slipped away. She could only unhappily swallow her frustration.

How did I end up getting stuck with Qiao Yu in this lifetime?

Although she was annoyed with Qiao Yu, Tang Shu quickly took care of the matter for her. She was the most beloved child in the family, and her parents almost always gave in to her wishes. It was just a simple decision about a brand ambassador. Mr. Tang only thought for a moment before agreeing to his precious daughter’s request.

Making his beloved daughter happy was more important than offending the Lu family.

Qiao Yu held the asset list that the butler had prepared for her and smiled so wide her eyes curved. As expected of the female lead’s “cannon fodder” ex-wife, her family had more money than there were leaves on the trees. But this still wasn’t enough. To get Lu Shangyi, she needed to at least be the richest person in the country.

Just then, Meng E called. “Yu Yu, you didn’t get into a fight with Tang Shu, did you?”

“Of course not!” Qiao Yu was indignant. “Do you really think I’m that childish and unreasonable?”

“Not at all.” Meng E sighed in relief and then cautiously glanced at the expressionless Jiang Mei. “I just heard that there were a dozen hot Alphas at the party today.”

Jiang Mei tried to stay calm, but her slightly perked-up ears gave away what she was thinking. Meng E wanted to laugh but didn’t dare. Jiang Mei obviously cared about Yu Yu but always pretended to be indifferent, which was frustrating to watch.

They used to get along so well. Who knows what happened that night?

But it wasn’t her business. Meng E cleared her throat. “You better not let their beauty get to your head.”

Meng E and Qiao Yu had known each other for two or three years, and she knew Qiao Yu had a thing for beautiful people. So she didn’t blame Jiang Mei for being worried. If it were her, she would have probably just locked the person up. Why would she let them go around flirting with everyone?

The phone suddenly went silent. Jiang Mei’s heart was in her throat. After a long moment, Qiao Yu’s voice finally came through again, full of excitement. “If they weren’t pretty, I wouldn’t have looked at them. Of course, I’m into them because of their beauty.”

Jiang Mei’s heart immediately sank. Sensing the sudden drop in temperature behind her, Meng E shivered. “Yu Yu, you didn’t…”

“…get wild before you even became an adult, did you?”

Qiao Yu was confused. “What are you talking about? Those hot girls were Tang Shu’s birthday present.”

Meng E and Jiang Mei both sighed in relief, but then they heard the voice on the phone say, “I have someone I like now, so don’t you dare ruin my reputation and stop me from getting my wife.”

Jiang Mei froze, her eyes losing focus. She has someone she likes?

Meng E’s grip on the phone tightened. No way?! She wanted to comfort Jiang Mei but didn’t know what to say. Seeing Jiang Mei turn and walk away sadly, Meng E scratched her head and hung up the phone with Qiao Yu. “Listen,” Meng E tried her best to explain for Qiao Yu. “There must be some kind of misunderstanding.”

Jiang Mei chuckled softly. “Thanks.”

But if Meng E couldn’t even convince herself, how could she convince her?

Qiao Yu has someone she likes, and that person must be Song Wanying.

Song Wanying’s team was fully prepared. The press releases and hired online posters were all ready. As soon as her rival made a move, the entire team would strike, determined to secure the Tang family’s endorsement. But just as the agent was getting everything in order, she received an email from the Tang Group.

She stared at the computer screen as if she had seen a ghost. The agent couldn’t help but mumble, “How is that possible?”

Song Wanying turned her head slightly. “What’s wrong, sis?”

The agent instinctively took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes, confirming that she wasn’t seeing things. She then looked up blankly. “We got the endorsement.”

Song Wanying: “?”

Even after scheduling a time with the Tang Group’s liaison to sign the contract, the agent still couldn’t believe it. How had the endorsement fallen into Song Wanying’s hands so easily? Just a moment ago, a high-ranking official at the Tang Group had hinted that the company was leaning toward choosing Chu Mi.

Chu Mi was a rising star from the past two years. After debuting under the banner of “little Song Wanying,” she had been using Song Wanying’s popularity to get roles and endorsements, which had infuriated the team for a while. Chu Mi was extremely shameless. While claiming to be Song Wanying’s fan, she was unceremoniously profiting off her. The team heard that she had recently connected with a benefactor from the Tang Group and was planning to steal the endorsement that was meant for Song Wanying.

As the saying goes, “A man lives for a good name, and a Buddha for a stick of incense.” The team thought they absolutely couldn’t let Chu Mi get this endorsement, so they were ready for a long battle.

But this?

The fight was over before it even began?

Could Chu Mi’s benefactor be a fan of Song Wanying? Or maybe Chu Mi’s benefactor’s arch-nemesis is a fan of Song Wanying?

Compared to her confused agent, Song Wanying was calm. She simply told her agent to look into it and then didn’t react further. The agent felt that this was too strange and possibly a trap, so she used all her connections to ask around in the industry. But the answer she got only made her more confused.

“Wanying, do you know the Tang family’s heiress?”

Song Wanying slowly broke off the cigarette butt, then looked up with a flawless face. “No, I don’t.”

Then that’s weird.

The Tang family’s heiress? Song Wanying opened her social media app. The first post on the person’s page was a group photo from a birthday party. Song Wanying narrowed her eyes, and to her surprise, she saw a familiar, brilliantly smiling face. She tapped Qiao Yu’s picture with a fair finger. “This person?”

The agent immediately understood. After asking around, she quickly replied, “That’s the Tang family heiress, Tang Shu’s, childhood friend, Qiao Yu, the beloved daughter of Qiao Jinghuai from the Qiao family in Jingxi.”

No wonder.

Thinking back to the little girl who was all talk and no action, Song Wanying couldn’t help but let out a low laugh. “Then it’s nothing. She’s the one who got me the endorsement.”

“And that earlier ranking? She was the one who spent two million to get me to the top.”

The agent was stunned and instinctively raised her voice. “Wanying, you can’t be reckless! You’re an A-list celebrity at the peak of your career. Every move you make is under intense scrutiny from the entire country. If a rumor about you dating a minor gets out, your career will be over!”
