After the Scumbag Alpha Tries to Save the Love-Struck and Flips Over (Quick Transmigration GL) - Chapter 39

Lu Yan had her back to them, but as she saw a strange shadow loom over her, a wave of unease rose in her heart. She followed Shen Su’s gaze and looked back.

The leading drunkard, holding a half-finished bottle of beer, let out a foolish grin. “Ooh, what a pretty Omega, and she hasn’t even been marked yet! Why don’t we…”

Just as the drunkard was about to reach out a dirty hand toward Lu Yan, Shen Su grabbed him forcefully. She stared at him coldly. “Watch your mouth and get lost—”

The man tried to shake off Shen Su’s hand, only to find it wouldn’t budge. Anger flared in his heart as he glared at her. “What are you doing?! You aren’t this Omega’s partner, what right do you have to stop me from pursuing her?”

Suddenly, the faces of the drunkards turned pale, and their legs buckled, forcing them to their knees. Shen Su didn’t want to waste words; she used her rank suppression directly, leaving them dripping with cold sweat.

She coldly raised her hand. “I’ve already called the police.”

It looked like they were heading back to the station again today.

Others nearby began to gather, raising their phones to take photos. The owner and his wife hurried over to apologize to Shen Su and Lu Yan. Lu Yan got up from her plastic stool and shrunk behind Shen Su, remaining silent.

The police arrived quickly. This time, Shen Su had no intention of letting things slide; even if they knelt and begged, she would still sue them. Before doing so, she specifically asked Lu Yan if she wanted them punished severely, as Lu Yan was the victim.

Only after Lu Yan nodded did she contact a lawyer to handle the matter. By the time everything was finished, it was already 11:00 PM.

The two walked side-by-side out of the station. Shen Su turned to Lu Yan. “I’ll drive you home.”

Lu Yan lowered her head, saying guiltily, “I shouldn’t keep bothering Sugar. There’s a bus stop right across the street…”

“You are the victim; you don’t need to feel guilty.” Shen Su couldn’t help but rub Lu Yan’s head, saying warmly, “The last bus is already gone, and we’re far from the subway. Let me take you back, otherwise, I won’t be at ease.”

“Thank you, Sugar,” Lu Yan nodded.

“Did you not have enough fun today?” Shen Su asked after they got into the car. Between snatching Lu Yan back from Sheng Suyu and spending most of the night at the police station—twice—it had been a full yet absurd day.

Lu Yan said sincerely, “I’m happy just being out with Sugar.” She didn’t care about anything else.

Shen Su let out a soft sigh. “Rest well at home tomorrow. We’ll go out again next week.”

Lu Yan wanted to say she could go out tomorrow too, but seeing the tired look in Shen Su’s eyes, she changed her tune. “Okay! But Sugar needs to rest well too…”

“I will.” Shen Su rubbed her temples, waited a moment, and then started the car. She dropped Lu Yan at the entrance of her neighborhood and didn’t turn around to leave until her silhouette disappeared around the corner.

To Shen Su’s surprise, the living room lights were still on when she got home. Her father was sitting on the sofa.

“Dad, it’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep?” Shen Su walked over and asked.

Her father gestured kindly for her to sit. “Out playing today?”

Shen Su hummed in affirmation.

“Is it the Omega you haven’t caught yet?” Her father took out his phone and showed her a photo that was being widely shared online. The caption read: Heir of the Shen Family makes a bold move for love! Click to follow and see who the mysterious Omega really is—

Shen Su took the phone and tapped on the link, breathing a sigh of relief. The people there were just passersby, and she had blocked Lu Yan behind her, so she hadn’t been caught in the frame. It was just clickbait.

“Dad, do you care about AO ranks?” Shen Su asked tentatively as she handed the phone back.

Her father raised an eyebrow. “It would be a lie to say I don’t care at all. But if you like her, I can ignore the Omega’s rank. However, there is one thing I must remind you of.”

“What?” Shen Su bit her lip.

“You’d better check your compatibility. AO ranks only affect offspring, but AO compatibility affects your entire lives.” The smile on his face faded. “Do not underestimate compatibility.”

In his youth, her father had a crush on an Omega, but their compatibility was too low—only 30%. They had separated before their families even had a chance to object. Meanwhile, his compatibility with Shen Su’s mother was 80%, and they had been happily in love for years.

“I understand,” Shen Su replied, though a sense of unease spread through her heart. In the last world, she and Lu Yan hadn’t tested their compatibility, but she suspected it wouldn’t have been very high. She wondered what it would be in this world.

She called out to the System in her mind.

System: Dear, although it’s the same “love-struck brain” in both worlds, the specific physical conditions are different. Maybe your compatibility was 70% in the last world but only 20% in this one. Anything is possible.

Even if it was low, it didn’t matter; she could always photoshop the results. Lu Yan’s situation in this world was precarious. Whether they stayed together or not, Shen Su had to find her a reliable backer before she exited. The Shen family would be a perfect sanctuary.

“It’s late, go get some rest. I’ll handle the news,” her father said with a wave of his hand.

“Thank you, Dad.”

Back in her room, Shen Su saw three messages from Lu Yan: 【I’m home.】 【Are you home?】 【Goodnight.】

Shen Su leaned against the wall, her fingers flying across the screen. 【I’m home. Goodnight.】

The next morning, Shen Su didn’t wake up until 9:00 AM. She saw a “Good morning” cat emoji sent by Lu Yan at 8:00 and couldn’t help but smile. After replying, she washed up and finished breakfast by nearly 10:00. Her parents had gone out, leaving her alone with the housekeeper and the butler.

She lay bored on the sofa, scrolling through the news; the story from last night had indeed vanished. However, people were still mentioning it on social media. 【I was there, they looked so good together.】 Unfortunately, after a refresh, that was gone too.

Shen Su sighed and stretched. Her special ringtone went off. 【Sugar, I’ve run into some trouble. Do you have time?】

Shen Su propped herself up and walked to her bedroom while replying. 【I do. I’ll come pick you up.】

She changed into casual clothes and drove out in her cheap, older car. When she reached the neighborhood, she found a parking spot and received another message. 【Just wait for me in the parking lot, I’ll be there in ten minutes!】

Shen Su hesitated for a moment but decided to run up anyway. Lu Yan lived on the fourth floor; the hallway was dim and the stairs were narrow. Various small advertisements were plastered all over the walls. She confirmed the door number “420” and knocked.

Lu Yan opened the door, clutching a tabby cat in her arms. Shen Su’s pupils contracted; this cat looked exactly like Mu Mu from the previous world.

“Why did you come up?” Lu Yan asked, pleasantly surprised.

“I was worried, so I came.” Shen Su pointed to the cat. “Did you pick that up from a flowerbed or a bush in the neighborhood?”

“No. I found this little kitten this morning by the trash cans on the fourth floor. It was in a cardboard box with a note that said: ‘Broken up, no longer keeping it.’ So I brought her home. Then she got diarrhea… I’ve never had a cat before, I don’t know what to do…” Lu Yan’s brows were knit with anxiety, but she held the cat with extreme care.

The kitten was very well-behaved, likely afraid of being abandoned again.

“Let’s go to the pet hospital,” Shen Su said.

“Okay,” Lu Yan nodded.

They went to the hospital and registered—a scene identical to the last world. Only this time, Lu Yan wasn’t as excited because the kitten was sick. She hesitated a moment before saying, “Her name is… Mao Mao (Kitty).”

They waited in the hall. Mao Mao was very good, shrinking into Lu Yan’s arms.

“Why not give her a new name?” Shen Su remembered Lu Yan spent a long time thinking about names in the previous world.

“Because she has an owner; she doesn’t belong to me.” Lu Yan looked down, gently stroking the kitten’s head. “Maybe she’s just mistaken and thinks I’m her owner, which is why she’s so good. If her owner ever comes back, she’ll probably still leave with them, right?”

Shen Su thought for a moment. “The note the owner left is still in the box. If they ever come back, just show them that note. A person should stand by their word.”

“Can I do that?” Lu Yan asked, blinking.

Shen Su smiled and rubbed Lu Yan’s head. “Don’t overthink it. Cherish the cat in front of you. We’ll deal with the future when it comes!”

Lu Yan replied obediently, “Okay.”

Their number was called. Fortunately, the check-up showed it was nothing serious—just indigestion. After getting some medicine, they left. Back at the apartment, Lu Yan needed to get her keys, so she carefully placed Mao Mao in Shen Su’s arms.

The kitten remained very well-behaved. It felt as if they were always her owners. Shen Su drifted off into thought, remembering that in the “aftermath” she saw after her mission, there had been no mention of this kitten.

“Sugar?” Lu Yan called out softly as she opened the door and saw Shen Su dazed. “Are you coming in? It’s very small inside, there might not be a place to sit.”

“It’s okay.” Shen Su followed Lu Yan into the 16-square-meter room. It was packed but very tidy. The only thing out of place was the cardboard box lined with old clothes.

“Are you sure you want to keep her?” Shen Su asked.

Lu Yan certainly wanted to, but she might not even be able to support herself soon. Her company had Sheng family shares; she might be fired soon. Then again, maybe Sheng Suyu would let her go since she helped clarify their relationship? Regardless, she faced the risk of unemployment. And it was already hard for an Omega to find work.

“I want to, but I’m a bit busy…” Lu Yan looked down, hiding the true reason.

Shen Su nodded thoughtfully. “Then I’ll raise her. If you want to see her, just come over. I’ll send you the address and the passcode later.”

“Okay!” Lu Yan’s lips curled into a brilliant smile. This was likely the best solution. She’d also have an excuse to see Shen Su often.

“Let me see which apartment is suitable…” Shen Su handed the cat back to Lu Yan and took out her phone. she found an apartment close to both the company and Lu Yan that was already cat-proofed. She immediately contacted someone to clean it and ordered cat food, bowls, and a bed online for express delivery.

After finishing this, Shen Su put down her phone and stroked the kitten with Lu Yan. She said with a smile, “Mao Mao really is a good girl…”

“She is. I wish I’d picked her up from a flowerbed downstairs instead. That way I wouldn’t have to worry about an owner coming back for her.” Lu Yan stroked the cat’s head, looking helpless. “By the way, Sugar, can I go to Mao Mao’s new home with you later?”
