After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 6
Gu Nan’s back hurt like hell whenever she moved, but she still forced herself to get up and reached out to pull Shen Zhibei, who had fallen to the floor.
This time, although Shen Zhibei also shrank back slightly, she ultimately did not refuse. Borrowing Gu Nan’s strength, she stood up, then slowly sat down by the bed.
Seeing that Shen Zhibei did not seem to intend to leave, and since her own body hurt terribly, Gu Nan did not force herself to hold on. She lay back down on the bed again.
There were no lights on in the room. Only specks of moonlight seeped through the curtains that had not been fully drawn.
Shen Zhibei did not speak either. She simply sat there and stared faintly at Gu Nan.
Gu Nan felt awkward under her gaze.
Even though Shen Zhibei was very beautiful, and her looks completely hit Gu Nan’s preferences, Gu Nan still could not bear being stared at like that the whole time.
Her fingers picked at the bedsheet as she asked, “Why aren’t you resting? Why did you come to my room?”
“To see you.”
Shen Zhibei’s tone was very sincere, and her expression also seemed very sincere.
But could Gu Nan believe that?
Of course not.
If killing people were not illegal, Gu Nan suspected there would have been an extra knife in her neck before she woke up just now.
So Gu Nan tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, “Is that so? Then thank you very much.”
Gu Nan did not add any particular tone, but because her cheek was swollen and she was lying face-down on the bed, her voice sounded muffled, making her words seem a little sarcastic.
However, Shen Zhibei did not mind. Her gaze fixed on Gu Nan’s back, then she stretched out one long, fair finger and poked it.
“Ow!” Gu Nan was almost killed by the pain from Shen Zhibei’s sudden poke. “Why did you suddenly poke me?”
“To check your injury.” Shen Zhibei finally curved her lips into a genuine smile at Gu Nan. “Now it seems you really are badly hurt.”
This time, she had mainly come over to see exactly how Gu Nan’s injury was.
While Gu Nan had not yet woken up, she had lifted Gu Nan’s clothes and checked.
Shen Zhibei had filmed for many years, so she actually understood these kinds of external injuries very well. With one look, she could tell that Gu Tiansheng had struck very hard. In ordinary terms, she had beaten her as if she wanted her dead.
She had not expected Gu Tiansheng to really be able to treat her own biological daughter so harshly.
But it had to be said that this approach did make her feel a little more at ease about the family she was going to marry into.
At the very least, in this family, Gu Nan’s mother and mom could still be relied on.
Seeing Shen Zhibei smile, the bit of anger Gu Nan had originally felt vanished.
This Film Empress had realized she had backing in this house and had relaxed, hadn’t she?
She was not even afraid of Gu Nan anymore and had directly started poking her wound.
Still, this was the best outcome. At least Gu Nan had not been beaten like this for nothing.
“Miss Shen, I know my credibility with you has already gone bankrupt. No matter what I say, you won’t believe me. But I’ll show you through my actions.” Gu Nan looked at Shen Zhibei. “I’ll treat you well. From now on, I won’t let you suffer even the slightest harm again.”
Shen Zhibei looked into Gu Nan’s eyes.
Those peach-blossom eyes, which usually looked very affectionate, were now filled with seriousness as they openly accepted her scrutiny.
Facing such eyes, Shen Zhibei looked away and lowered her gaze to the floor.
Gu Nan was not surprised when she saw this.
She had drugged Shen Zhibei the day before, then swore the next day that she would treat her well. No one would believe that.
So Gu Nan had already prepared herself for a long struggle.
When Gu Nan looked at her seriously and spoke, Shen Zhibei had indeed wavered for a moment. But she immediately remembered that night, and the words pressed deep in her heart slipped out uncontrollably.
“Your mother and mom are both very good people. Why are you like this?”
Hearing Shen Zhibei’s question, Gu Nan immediately recalled that strange dream.
Everything in the dream made her believe it unconsciously.
Thinking about how she had no memories before she was eight, and after turning eight, she had lived in an orphanage the whole time.
In order to make something of herself as soon as possible, she had worked overtime day and night. In the end, after finally struggling hard enough to buy a house and a car, she suddenly died and transmigrated into a book.
And the timing of her transmigration had been terrible. The moment she crossed over, she had to take the blame for the original owner.
In order to give the victim, Shen Zhibei, an explanation, she had truly endured a solid round of loving discipline.
Only after taking the beating did she learn that this was actually her own body, and the one who had done such things was her shadow.
Before, she had been shocked and uncertain, suspecting that the original owner was still inside her body. She had unconsciously felt close to Gu Tiansheng, Yin Yuehua, and even Uncle Quan. She had even blurted out such intimate words naturally. Now, all of that finally had an explanation.
Because she was Gu Nan from this world.
She had also lived in this world for eight years. Her feelings toward them were real.
Gu Nan’s mood immediately became terrible.
She buried her face completely into the pillow, ignoring both the pain in her cheek and the suffocating feeling, then said in a muffled voice, “Maybe I was possessed by a ghost.”
Silence fell between the two of them.
Shen Zhibei quietly left, just as quietly as she had come.
By the time Gu Nan, who was immersed in her own thoughts, noticed, Shen Zhibei had already been gone for who knew how long.
She did not care. She simply lay there on the bed, staring at the carpet and letting her thoughts wander for an unknown amount of time.
Until suddenly, she lost consciousness completely.
The next day, Uncle Quan, who had gone to knock on the door and call Gu Nan for breakfast, once again hurriedly invited the doctor over in a panic.
Because Gu Nan had a high fever.
Alphas had strong bodies and rarely fell ill.
From childhood to adulthood, aside from one serious illness when she was eight, Gu Nan had never been sick again. Even when she was beaten by Gu Tiansheng, she would quickly be lively again the next day.
Under such circumstances, this time, Gu Nan actually burned up to over thirty-nine degrees and fell unconscious from the fever. It could be considered a major event.
Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua did not even go to work. They stayed at home and took many photos of Gu Nan’s feverish, flushed face as keepsakes.
Shen Zhibei, who had been pulled over to watch the show, felt a little awkward caught between this unreliable married couple, not knowing what she should do.
Right now, the fact that she was not making a few sarcastic remarks about Gu Nan’s condition was already her greatest kindness.
Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua exchanged a subtle glance.
Since things had already become like this, and Shen Zhibei had also decided to marry Gu Nan, then as mothers, they naturally had to help bring the two together.
They could not let the two of them stay together with this kind of attitude, or they would suffer for the rest of their lives.
Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua had experienced many things and could tell that Shen Zhibei had not the slightest bit of love for Gu Nan. What she had more of in her heart was suppressed anger and hatred.
That was very normal. Any normal person treated like that would feel the same way.
But it was strange that they could not see any love in Gu Nan’s eyes either.
For someone to do something like almost forcibly marking another person, there should at least be a trace of love as the foundation. Otherwise, it should be possessiveness.
But in the end, there was nothing. As for taking responsibility, she was quite serious about that.
The married couple could not understand it. They could only make up their minds to observe their daughter carefully from now on. If their daughter had any bad thoughts, they would strangle them at the source.
And now, the first thing was to let Shen Zhibei vent some of her negative emotions instead of keeping them bottled up inside.
“Zhibei, do you want to take a few photos too? Alphas are physically strong. If you want to photograph them when they’re sick and weak like this, you have to wait a very long time.”
As Yin Yuehua said this, she even gave Gu Tiansheng a charming eye-roll.
Gu Tiansheng shrugged.
Was being strong and healthy her fault?
“When Baby wakes up and sees our photos, she’ll definitely explode.”
Although Yin Yuehua said this, in reality, she took photos even more enthusiastically. She even grabbed Gu Nan’s short hair and changed her hairstyle while taking pictures.
Of course she wanted to take photos.
Shen Zhibei thought of that photo Gu Nan had taken of her.
Gu Nan’s phone had never been taken back, so she had searched through it carefully. She confirmed that Gu Nan had indeed only taken that one photo, and that it had been deleted very cleanly.
But she still hated it.
Deleting it did not mean it had never been done.
Her morals made it impossible for her to take that kind of photo the way Gu Nan had.
But this time, it was Gu Nan’s mom inviting her to take these embarrassing photos that would make Gu Nan explode emotionally. So of course she could take them with a clear conscience.
Shen Zhibei bit her lip, took out the new phone Uncle Quan had helped her buy, and snapped photo after photo.
Then she created a folder named “Threat Photos” and put all the photos inside.
Just as they were taking photos, Uncle Quan came over and said the doctor had arrived.
Since an outsider was here, Yin Yuehua still left her daughter a bit of dignity. She undid the little tied-up tufts of hair and smoothed Gu Nan’s hair down for her.
As soon as the doctor came in, she immediately put Gu Nan on an IV drip. At the same time, she had Shen Zhibei lie down as well, preparing to give her the soothing agent.
Since both of them needed injections anyway, they might as well do it together.
“Soothing agent?” Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua, who had not yet left, both heard the term.
Gu Tiansheng asked in confusion, “What Zhibei is getting is a soothing agent? Why does she need a soothing agent?”
The doctor answered in a formal tone, “Miss Shen was previously given an inducer, and it has not been fully expelled from her system yet, so she still needs a few more days of soothing agents.”
Who else could have used it? It must have been this bastard!
And where did she even get something like an inducer?
Gu Tiansheng immediately looked with an unfriendly expression at Gu Nan, who was lying unconscious on the bed. Her fingers moved slightly, and she looked as though she was about to pick something up and violently beat Gu Nan again.
This time, Yin Yuehua still stopped her, but the words she spoke were as cold as a winter lake.
“Let’s do a mixed doubles beating after she wakes up.”
Gu Tiansheng expressed her agreement.
The Gu wives apologized to Shen Zhibei again, then quickly returned to their room to investigate who exactly had bought the inducer for Gu Nan.
At the same time, they also had to discuss countermeasures—how exactly they could bring the two of them together under these circumstances.
Shen Zhibei, who had originally been planning to tell the doctor that she would go back to her own room to receive the soothing agent, changed her mind after learning that Gu Nan was going to receive a mixed doubles beating.
She sat down in a chair not far from the bed and let the doctor put her on an IV drip.
She would strive to make sure that, when Gu Nan woke up, the first thing she saw would be those embarrassing photos.
And the second thing she learned would be the fate awaiting her: a mixed doubles beating.
As for Gu Nan at this moment, she still had no idea what she was about to face.
