After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 5

Looking at Gu Nan’s serious expression, Gu Tiansheng smiled and teased her.

“What is it? Are you announcing that you have a girlfriend?”

Yin Yuehua also swept a teasing gaze back and forth between Shen Zhibei and her.

Gu Nan took a deep breath. “I’m going to marry Shen Zhibei.”

“So sudden?”

Yin Yuehua was not opposed to her daughter getting married. She only felt that it was too sudden.

Her daughter and this Miss Shen should not have known each other for long. If they got married without understanding each other more first, conflicts could easily arise after marriage.

“It is indeed a bit sudden,” Gu Tiansheng also agreed with her wife. “I know you young people are in the heat of romance and want to get married. But marriage is a very sacred thing. I still hope you can spend more time together before stepping into the hall of marriage.”

Shen Zhibei, who was already thirty-six and had been forcibly labeled a “young person” in the “heat of thirty-six and had romance”: “…”

Gu Nan glanced at Shen Zhibei and forced herself to say, “Because I did something wrong yesterday and almost marked her. And the paparazzi already know about this. I need to take responsibility.”

Gu Tiansheng, Yin Yuehua: “???”

“What did you just say?” Gu Tiansheng dug at her ear, suspecting that she had not heard clearly.

“I said, I did something wrong yesterday and almost marked her. And the paparazzi already know about this. I need to take responsibility.” Gu Nan closed her eyes and repeated it loudly.

The dining table instantly became extremely quiet.

“You bastard.”

Gu Tiansheng slammed the table, then walked over to Gu Nan and slapped her across the face.

The force was so great that it directly sent Gu Nan flying from the chair to the floor.

Although Yin Yuehua felt distressed, she did not stop Gu Tiansheng from disciplining their daughter, because she also felt that her daughter had gone too far.

“Kneel.”

Gu Nan covered her face, climbed up from the floor, and obediently knelt down.

“What did I teach you before?” Gu Tiansheng’s face was frighteningly gloomy. “Have I not told you what marking means to an Omega?”

Gu Nan did not speak.

She did not have all of the original owner’s memories, and she also could not explain that this matter had not been done by her.

In everyone’s eyes, she was the original owner.

Besides, Shen Zhibei had suffered more grievance than she had. Only by doing this could she make Shen Zhibei understand that she truly was different from the original owner, and make Shen Zhibei resist her a little less.

Seeing her daughter lower her head without saying a word, a trace of anger flashed through Gu Tiansheng’s eyes.

“Go kneel in front of Miss Shen. The forgiveness you need is not ours. It’s hers.”

Gu Nan shuffled on her knees to Shen Zhibei and said loudly, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Please forgive me. I will definitely treat you well from now on.”

Because Gu Nan’s cheek had gradually swollen, the words she spoke sounded somewhat muffled.

At this moment, Yin Yuehua also stepped forward. She completely ignored Gu Nan, who was kneeling on the floor, and sincerely said to Shen Zhibei, “Miss Shen, it was our failure to teach our daughter properly that caused you to suffer. Tell us how you want to punish her. Tiansheng and I will have no objections. You can also state any demands you have.”

Yin Yuehua was also an Omega, so she understood too well what it would mean to be forcibly marked by someone.

Facing the gentle Yin Yuehua, Shen Zhibei thought of her own father, and the resentful words she had wanted to say could no longer come out.

And also…

Shen Zhibei looked at Gu Nan with a complicated gaze. She did not understand why this woman’s behavior seemed as though she had become a different person.

And this family’s reaction was also beyond her expectations.

Gu Nan had actually confessed her ugly deed in front of both her parents just like that?

And her parents had no intention of covering it up for her. Instead, they were leaving everything up to Shen Zhibei?

If this was acting, then the price was far too high.

Shen Zhibei’s gaze swept over Gu Nan’s already badly swollen cheek.

Ding Ziyan did not say much and let Shen Zhibei make the decision herself.

Shen Zhibei was already thirty-six. She was no longer like a little girl who would place her pride first. Instead, she would make the decision that best aligned with her interests.

She thought for a long time before finally speaking slowly.

“I will marry Gu Nan, but I hope you will not restrict my career, because I truly love acting.”

“That is naturally not a problem. I like the films Miss Shen acts in very much. And even after marriage, an Omega should still have her own career.”

Yin Yuehua herself was the chief jewelry designer of Yuesheng Jewelry under the Gu Group, so naturally, she did not think there was anything wrong with Shen Zhibei wanting to continue developing her career after marriage.

“What do you say?” After saying this herself, she looked at Gu Nan, who was still kneeling on the floor, and made her speak.

“Chengxin Film and Television’s resources will be completely tilted toward Miss Shen.”

Gu Nan covered her face. Her cheek hurt so much now that she could barely open her mouth.

“That’s good. If the resources go to Miss Shen, you can act less. Otherwise, every time you finish acting in something, Tiansheng and I can’t even bring ourselves to praise it after watching.” Yin Yuehua complained from the side.

“Mom, you really are my biological mom.” Gu Nan looked at Yin Yuehua speechlessly.

“If I weren’t your biological mom, just now it would have been a mixed doubles beating.” Yin Yuehua pinched Gu Nan’s swollen face. “Does your face not hurt anymore? If it hurts, talk less.”

“Ow!” This time, Gu Nan was truly in so much pain that tears shot out.

Gu Tiansheng acted as if she had not seen it and continued asking, “Does Miss Shen have any other requests?”

“Other than during heat periods, I hope Gu Nan won’t touch me when I don’t allow it.” Shen Zhibei said this condition with some difficulty.

She also knew this condition would be hard to realize. After all, after they got married, she would be Gu Nan’s wife. Asking Gu Nan not to touch her truly did not fit common sense.

“Okay.”

Shen Zhibei had not expected Gu Nan to agree so readily.

To obtain her, Gu Nan had even used such a despicable method as drugging her. Now, however, she agreed so readily. This made Shen Zhibei highly suspicious that Gu Nan was only saying it casually and was merely waiting until after marriage, when Shen Zhibei would be completely at her mercy.

Shen Zhibei pursed her lips, not daring to let herself continue following that line of thought. Then she stated her final request.

“Lastly, I hope Gu Nan can go to the hospital and have her brain properly examined.”

The Gu family: “…”

Are you saying that my/my daughter’s brain has problems?!

The married couple lowered their heads and looked at the equally shocked Gu Nan.

Indeed, someone who could do such a thing did seem to have something wrong with their brain and needed to be examined.

“Are those your only requests?” Gu Tiansheng confirmed again. “Is there no punishment for Gu Nan?”

“Yes, only these.” Shen Zhibei lowered her eyes.

In fact, she also wanted to see whether, if she did not bring it up, the Gu wives would really do nothing at all.

“Thank you, Miss Shen. You really are a good person.”

Gu Tiansheng first expressed her thanks to Shen Zhibei, then picked up the chair beside her and smashed it onto Gu Nan’s back.

Gu Nan let out a muffled groan and collapsed straight to the floor.

Shen Zhibei and Ding Ziyan had not expected this and were so frightened that they cried out in alarm.

“That blow was to teach you a lesson. Miss Shen not saying she wants to punish you is out of consideration for me and your mom’s face. It does not mean that what you did has been forgiven by her. Do you understand?”

“I understand.” Gu Nan’s hoarse, muffled voice sounded dull because her face was pressed against the floor.

Yin Yuehua calmly comforted the two people who had been frightened. “Don’t worry. When Baby made mistakes before, this was how Tiansheng disciplined her. It’s just that this time, what she did was too excessive, so the punishment is a little more intense.”

At this time, Gu Tiansheng had already pulled a thick, long chair leg from the broken chair and started striking Gu Nan’s back with it.

Gu Nan did not dare dodge. She simply lay on the floor and endured it. She did not cry out loudly from the pain either, only letting out low, muffled groans.

Yin Yuehua waved for Butler Jin to call the private doctor back, then invited Shen Zhibei and Ding Ziyan to eat something before the food got cold.

Shen Zhibei and Ding Ziyan looked at each other, both truly wanting to change the third condition and have all three members of this family go get their brains checked.

This punishment ended with the chair leg being beaten until it broke.

Gu Nan, who had already fainted, was arranged by Yin Yuehua to be carried back to her own room. The doctor who had been called back also followed to examine her and apply medicine.

Gu Tiansheng sat down and ate a little to replenish her strength before looking at Shen Zhibei.

“Miss Shen, you are free to come and go. But it is already very late today. For the sake of your health, I hope you won’t force yourself to go home tonight. Please stay here with your manager and rest properly for the night.”

“Thank you, President Gu. Then we’ll trouble you tonight.” Shen Zhibei held Ding Ziyan’s hand.

“This was caused by our fault. How could it be called troubling us?” Seeing that Shen Zhibei had not eaten much, Yin Yuehua used serving chopsticks to pick up some light vegetables for her. “May I call you Zhibei? When would be a good time for Tiansheng and me to meet your family and discuss your marriage?”

The atmosphere among the four people still in the dining room was fairly pleasant, but the unconscious Gu Nan was not having nearly as pleasant a time.

She seemed to be having a very strange dream, yet it also felt as though she was truly experiencing everything.

A figure who looked exactly like Gu Nan but was completely pitch-black was being restrained by two other pitch-black figures. There was also another figure reading out charges from a piece of paper.

“The shadow unlawfully replaced the original body and harmed the original body for sixteen years. The charge is established. Arrest is hereby authorized.”

“Why should a shadow have to watch the original body enjoy everything in the world? I refuse to accept this! I refuse!” The pitch-black Gu Nan resisted, but she was still taken away.

“What is going on?” Gu Nan looked at the gradually disappearing figures and muttered to herself.

The figure who had read the charges seemed to hear her murmur and floated toward her.

“We waited a long time before we finally waited until you fell asleep, so we could pull you into the shadow world to witness this trial.” The figure’s face was blurry, but its voice was very clear.

“She is your shadow. For some unknown reason, she awakened in the surface world, threw you into another world, and replaced you for sixteen years.”

“What… do you mean?” Gu Nan asked in shock and uncertainty.

“What I mean is, you are her, and she is you.” The figure smiled. “Now that the trial is over, you should return to your world. I wish you a pleasant life from now on.”

After the figure said this, it was as if a thick fog dispersed. Gu Nan suddenly woke from the dream with a start.

She rolled over and sat up in one motion, but this pulled at the injury on her back. She groaned from the pain and lay back down again.

Shen Zhibei, who was standing beside the bed and bending over, was startled by Gu Nan suddenly sitting up. She lost her balance and fell to the floor.

Gu Nan: “!!!”
