After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 13

This young lady, whose name Gu Nan did not know, no longer concealed her excitement at all. She nudged Gu Nan with her elbow.

“Are those rumors true or not? Some say you drugged her, some say you forced her into it, and some say you’ve been completely wrapped around Shen Zhibei’s finger and settled down. Which one is true?”

“Which one do you think is right?” Gu Nan calmly asked back.

“Completely settled down?” The unknown young lady thought for a moment. “I don’t think either of the first two is right, because you don’t have the guts. But completely settled down doesn’t feel right either. Didn’t you say you were hurt too badly by an Omega, so you’d made up your mind to only play around with them from now on? Could one Shen Zhibei really make you change your previous thinking?”

Gu Nan paid close attention to what this unknown young lady, whose tone sounded very familiar with the shadow, said.

On top of that, the fragments of images she had received were all clear, except when it came to that glass of red wine, where everything had been blurry and indistinct. She immediately felt that what happened that night was even more suspicious.

“You already know I didn’t have the guts to do that, yet you’re still asking me?” Gu Nan had not noticed earlier, but now she glanced at the staff badge the unknown young lady was wearing. It read: Lin Yue.

The chairman of Lydia seemed to have the surname Lin.

She planned to go back and check her phone and computer for chat records with this Miss Lin Yue.

Previously, she had not looked carefully and had simply blocked many people. It seemed that this method of handling things was still too crude.

“So you really did completely settle down?” Lin Yue still found it hard to believe.

Gu Nan neither confirmed nor denied it with a nod, then skipped over the topic. “Why are you wearing a badge and acting as a staff member today?”

“Isn’t it because I heard Shen Zhibei was coming over to shoot an endorsement?” Lin Yue lifted her chin, pointing toward Shen Zhibei, who was sitting there and letting the stylist adjust her makeup according to the outfit.

“I wanted to come see what this Omega who could make you walk into the grave of marriage was like in real life. So I begged my dad to arrange a position for me so I could see for myself. I just didn’t expect you to come along too.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen you care so much about an Omega.” As Lin Yue spoke, she still looked completely incredulous. “Not only have you had no news recently and stayed home every day, but you also helped Shen Zhibei clarify her scandal, and now you’re accompanying her to shoot an ad.”

“I feel like red rain is about to fall from the sky!” Lin Yue concluded.

“I’m just fulfilling my duties as a wife.” Gu Nan tested the waters, wanting to get more information about the shadow from Lin Yue. “You know my personality. If I do something, I definitely have to do it well.”

“Mm, right. You said you wanted to pursue Shen Zhibei, and you really entered the entertainment industry.” Lin Yue complained, “Then you felt that since you entered the entertainment industry, you should struggle a little, but your acting skills were that bad. In order to support you, our group suffered extreme trauma to our eyes.”

Why are you roasting me the same way my mom does?!

Gu Nan endured it again and again, but in the end, she still could not hold back and revealed a bit of her future plans.

“Stop roasting me. In a while, I’ll go work as a translator and never act again.”

“You’ve already married Shen Zhibei, so what acting is there left to do? Your goal has been exceeded. But working as a translator?” Lin Yue looked at her in surprise. “I’ve never heard you had that hobby before.”

“A hobby is a hobby. Work is work.”

Had Gu Nan liked the major she had studied before?

Of course she had. If she had not liked it, she would not have chosen it.

But that tiny bit of liking had gradually been worn away after she started working. In the end, it completely turned into something she did purely to earn money.

Now that she had returned and did not lack money, she had the ability to turn a hobby into work. But the reason she still wanted to do translation was that she had never had time to develop personal hobbies before. Now that she had reached the point where she could turn a hobby into a job, she could not find anything else to turn into one.

Hearing Gu Nan say this, Lin Yue, a rich young lady who had never worked for money, felt an indescribable awkwardness.

“Then when are you going to bring Shen Zhibei out for us to meet and have some fun together?”

Have some fun together?

Thinking of what that phrase often meant in countless angst novels, Gu Nan’s tone turned cold. “How do you want to have fun?”

“Let’s go out to sea together. I want to go sea fishing.” Lin Yue did not notice Gu Nan’s suddenly cold tone and was still happily planning. “Let’s go to Sheng Minshan’s family’s seaside resort. I remember you still have a yacht stored there, don’t you? Bring it out too.”

That idea was actually quite proper. She had been overthinking it.

Gu Nan could not help looking at Lin Yue a few more times and decided that once Lin Yue was not paying attention, she would immediately take out her phone and remove her from the blacklist.

Although this idea of “having fun” was very proper, Gu Nan still had to refuse.

On one hand, she was not familiar with this group of people. On the other hand, she guessed that she did not have enough face to make Shen Zhibei accompany her to meet her “friends.”

“Zhibei still has to film a variety show and movies later. She probably doesn’t have much free time.”

“Seriously, she’s already married to you, so why is she taking on so much work? Isn’t that exhausting? You should try to persuade her.” Lin Yue muttered.

“That way of thinking is wrong. Why should marrying me mean she doesn’t need to take on so much work?” Gu Nan retorted. “And work is something that makes her happy. Why should I persuade her otherwise?”

Lin Yue was stunned. “Are you really Gu Nan? How did getting married change you so much? Is Shen Zhibei that magical? No, I have to tell everyone this huge news.”

Seeing Lin Yue take out her phone and start tapping away as she spoke, Gu Nan tilted her head, quietly leaned in her direction to look at her screen, and then took out her own phone as well.

Shen Zhibei had long since noticed that Gu Nan and the Lydia staff member beside her had been whispering to each other the whole time.

In her heart, she only thought Gu Nan’s old habit of flirting everywhere had flared up again. She actually could not even endure for a few days.

But that final action—tilting her head and leaning over to look at the other woman’s phone—really made Shen Zhibei angry.

Before, it could still be explained as normal communication. But if that action were photographed, there would be no way to clean it up.

If it spread, not only would all their current PR work go to waste, they might even make things worse and get a trending search about the married couple being on bad terms.

Shen Zhibei quickly observed everyone in the room.

Aside from the staff she had brought herself, Lydia’s photographer and stylist, there was only that staff member.

That made Shen Zhibei relax slightly.

Because she had been nervous just now, Shen Zhibei had broken out in a slight cold sweat.

The air-conditioning in the room was turned up a little too high. On top of that, this gown was an off-the-shoulder design with short sleeves. As she waited for the shoot, Shen Zhibei could not help hugging her arms tightly and pressing herself hard against the back of the chair.

Just as she was wondering whether she should ask her assistant to bring over a jacket, a suit jacket was handed to her.

“Put it on,” Gu Nan said.

Shen Zhibei hesitated for a moment, but still felt she could not joke around with her health, so she took Gu Nan’s suit jacket and draped it over herself.

But her mouth still refused to soften. Afraid of being overheard, she kept her voice low and said, “What, you remembered me instead of continuing to chat with that gentle and adorable young lady?”

“What gentle and adorable young lady? You mean her?” Gu Nan pointed at Lin Yue, who had already taken out her phone and started photographing the two of them.

“Who else would I mean?” Although Shen Zhibei told herself not to be angry, she still could not help it. “Can’t you hold back a little longer? At least make this PR effort look a little more complete?”

Seeing Shen Zhibei’s expression—very angry, yet still maintaining a smile—Gu Nan could not help laughing.

Then, under Shen Zhibei’s furious glare, she explained, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh out loud. But that young lady is called Lin Yue. She’s the daughter of Lydia’s chairman.”

“So you know her?” Shen Zhibei looked at Gu Nan in astonishment.

Was Gu Nan’s acting in daily life this good? She really acted as if she completely did not know her.

If she used this acting skill in dramas, she would not have been scolded that badly.

“Mm, I know her. She’s a fairly good friend.”

At this moment, Gu Nan, who had already removed Lin Yue from her blacklist and skimmed through their chat history, could finally say that with some certainty.

“Then why did she become a staff member?”

“She wanted to come see how beautiful you are, the person who could make me walk into the hall of marriage.” Gu Nan picked up a strand of Shen Zhibei’s hair that had fallen forward and tucked it behind her ear. “As a result, she has now been turned into a fan by your beauty.”

Shen Zhibei, who had originally wanted to avoid Gu Nan’s movement, also noticed Lin Yue’s phone continuously taking photos. She forcibly stopped herself from moving away, and a sweet smile bloomed on her face as she let Gu Nan do as she pleased.

Although her expression was like that, there was not a trace of sweetness in Shen Zhibei’s words.

“Then what is she taking pictures of right now?”

“She’s taking pictures of the sweetness between you and me.” Gu Nan sighed. “She’s explaining to the people in the group how magical you are, and how much I’ve changed.”

Shen Zhibei glanced at Gu Nan, not really understanding the connection between those two things.

“That group is full of rich second-generation heirs. One of them runs the biggest paid-commenter company on Big-Eye right now,” Gu Nan explained. “In a while, I’ll go find him and ask him to give us the highest-tier package.”

“I didn’t expect you and your friends to actually be so capable,” Shen Zhibei could not help praising.

The corner of Gu Nan’s mouth twitched. The hand that had originally been lightly stroking Shen Zhibei’s hair grabbed the end of it and gave it a small tug.

Although she tugged very lightly, it still made Shen Zhibei’s scalp tighten, causing her to lean backward.

“Please don’t praise us like that. It really sounds passive-aggressive.”

“You pulled my hair.” Shen Zhibei pointed at Gu Nan and narrowed her eyes.

“You were passive-aggressive first.”

“You pulled my hair!”

“You were passive-aggressive first!”

The two of them were still repeating themselves like elementary school students when the photographer called from the adjoining room that had been opened up.

“Shen, come. We can start shooting now.”

“All right, I’ll be right there.” Shen Zhibei hurriedly replied, then stood up and said, “Just you wait. When we get back, I’m telling on you.”

Gu Nan was extremely speechless. “Besides that, what else do you know how to do?”

“A move doesn’t need to be many. As long as it works, that’s enough.”

Shen Zhibei gave her a look, then slapped the suit jacket draped over her shoulders into Gu Nan’s arms.
