After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 7

Thanks to an Alpha’s top-tier physical recovery speed, Gu Nan soon woke up.

The moment she opened her eyes, she vaguely saw someone sitting not far away from her, receiving an IV drip.

She wanted to rub her eyes, only to realize that she was also on an IV drip.

Only then did her consciousness gradually clear, and she saw that the person sitting not far from her was Shen Zhibei.

Wasn’t Shen Zhibei supposed to want to stay far, far away from me? How could she possibly be sitting by my bed getting an IV drip?

When something was abnormal, there had to be something strange going on. Gu Nan immediately raised her guard.

“Why are you in my room?”

Shen Zhibei did not answer Gu Nan’s question. Instead, she pulled up those photos and held them in front of Gu Nan’s eyes for her to see.

Gu Nan lowered her head and looked.

In the photo, she was lying on the bed, her cheek slightly swollen, her face flushed red from fever, and her hair had even been tied into little tufts.

Gu Nan’s pupils shook violently. She reached out to grab Shen Zhibei’s phone.

Although Shen Zhibei saw Gu Nan’s movement and wanted to pull her hand back, she was still a step too slow. The phone was directly taken by Gu Nan, who began deleting the photos.

For a moment, Shen Zhibei wanted to quickly snatch her phone back, but in the next instant, she remembered that Yin Yuehua still had many photos in her phone. As long as Shen Zhibei asked, she should be able to get them easily, so she stopped caring.

“Why did you take so many?”

Gu Nan frowned, enduring the pain in her back as she flipped through the folder labeled “Threat Photos,” deleting them one by one.

“Oh, so now you know the pain of having humiliating photos taken of you.” Shen Zhibei said coolly, “Then why did you take my… that kind of photo of me?”

It really wasn’t me who took it.

Gu Nan had no way to explain, so she could only selectively skip over Shen Zhibei’s questioning and tease her instead. “Did you make these little hair tufts for me? I didn’t expect you to be so childlike.”

“It was your mom. And deleting the photos from my phone alone is useless. Auntie Gu and Auntie Yin still have plenty in their phones.” Shen Zhibei smiled faintly.

“Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. The two aunties already know that you used an inducer on me. They’re currently preparing to give you a mixed doubles beating.”

Gu Nan: “!!!”

What kind of human suffering was this? She should have said everything in one breath yesterday instead of leaving behind such a huge pit. Great. Now she was going to get beaten again.

Gu Nan was in despair, but when she saw the faint smile on Shen Zhibei’s face, she could only sigh.

Originally, this was a bitter-flesh tactic to make Shen Zhibei feel reassured. Now it had only become bitter-flesh tactic times two. It was nothing much.

At least it could make Shen Zhibei less afraid of her, and stop guarding against her as if she were guarding against a wolf.

If she could get that kind of result after only being beaten twice, it was still a pretty good deal. After all, she was an Alpha, and her physical recovery rate was top-tier. Look, she had been beaten unconscious yesterday, and today she was almost able to get out of bed.

Gu Nan found bitter amusement in the thought.

“I can tell that you’re really happy when I get beaten.”

After thoroughly deleting all the photos from Shen Zhibei’s phone, Gu Nan returned the phone to her.

“Yes, I’m especially happy.” Taking back the phone, Shen Zhibei’s smile grew even brighter.

“It’s best if you can be happy.”

Gu Nan answered listlessly. Seeing that her bottle of medicine was almost finished dripping, she pulled out the needle herself and got out of bed with difficulty.

“Then I’ll go accept my punishment.”

Looking at Gu Nan’s bleak retreating figure, Shen Zhibei’s smile slowly disappeared.

Actually, her behavior these past two days had not been that unbearable. Compared to that night, it was as if she had become a different person.

But as soon as that thought appeared, Shen Zhibei stopped herself from thinking further.

How could a person’s personality change overnight? Gu Nan must have realized that she could not avoid it anymore, so she was putting on an act in front of her mother and mom to deceive her. How could she soften toward this scumbag so easily?

Although Shen Zhibei thought this, a doubt still involuntarily appeared in her mind.

If Gu Nan was truly only putting on an act, then why had she laid everything out clearly to her mother and mom? Why had she not threatened Shen Zhibei and made her lie together with her instead?

Although she still believed Gu Nan was a scumbag, this question still left ripples in Shen Zhibei’s heart.

If Gu Nan knew this, she might be so moved that she would cry loudly.

Her bitter-flesh tactic had finally shown a little effect!

Only, the current Gu Nan still did not know this. So she was miserably heading to her two moms’ room, preparing to accept her second round of loving discipline.

Knock, knock, knock.

Gu Nan knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Gu Tiansheng’s voice came from inside.

Gu Nan pushed the door open and walked in, forcing herself to call out, “Mother, Mom.”

Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua were each looking at their phones in deep thought.

Seeing Gu Nan come in, Yin Yuehua glanced at her coolly and said, “Close the door.”

“Oh.”

Gu Nan’s heart turned ice-cold. She slowly moved over and closed that door to survival.

“Come, let’s first talk about how you got the inducer.” Gu Tiansheng finally lifted her head from the phone screen as well, her sharp gaze falling on Gu Nan.

Gu Nan had no way to talk about it. She also did not know where the shadow had gotten the inducer from, so she could only tell the truth. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Gu Tiansheng frowned tightly. “Is it that you don’t know, or that you don’t want to say?”

“I really don’t know.” Gu Nan spoke with a bitter expression, telling what was, to her, the absolute truth. “When I woke up in the morning, Miss Shen was already in my arms.”

Gu Tiansheng’s fingers tapped against the tabletop, and her brows furrowed even tighter. “You mean to say that you were framed?”

“I don’t know, but I just feel like that day was a little strange.” Gu Nan’s face became even more bitter.

Those images were blurry and vague, and they even seemed to show two different actions, so she truly did not know whether the shadow had drugged her or not.

Gu Tiansheng’s tapping fingers paused, and her expression also turned ferocious. “I think you’re asking for a beating!”

She had originally wanted to resolve the matter of the inducer first, but Gu Nan’s unreliable answer had nearly angered her to death.

You don’t even know whether you drugged her or not? Then what do you know?

If you didn’t do anything, how did the person end up in your arms when you woke up in the morning?

Yin Yuehua had already put down her phone at the side and silently handed one of the two baseball bats they had just brought upstairs to Gu Tiansheng.

Gu Nan’s heart jolted, but she could not run anymore. She could only watch as her mother and mom slowly approached her.

“Kneel!”

My life is over. Gu Nan’s vision went dark.

…

Watching as Gu Nan, unconscious, was sent back to her room again, Gu Tiansheng frowned tightly once more and picked up the phone lying on the table again.

On the phone screen, the interface of Big-Eye was clearly displayed.

Several marketing accounts were spreading seemingly plausible gossip about Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei, and a trending topic with both their names was still continuously being cooled down on the hot-search list.

“There’s still something wrong.” The more Gu Tiansheng looked, the angrier she became. She directly slapped her phone face-down onto the table.

Yin Yuehua, on the other hand, was not as angry as Gu Tiansheng. She calmly continued scrolling through her phone.

“I called Assistant Jin just now and asked him. He said Baby brought the person straight home. Along the way, they didn’t encounter anyone at all, let alone reporters. But the rumors spreading online now match up with every part of what happened.”

“The hot search too. Chengxin didn’t suppress this topic at all, but the topic’s performance looks exactly like it was suppressed.”

“Clearly, someone knows that the two of us don’t pay attention to entertainment-industry matters and wouldn’t help, so they deliberately did this. Their purpose is probably to ruin Baby and Zhibei’s reputations. Or maybe just one of their reputations, while the other is only incidental.”

“Even if someone deliberately harmed her, she deserved it!” Gu Tiansheng’s anger had not subsided. “Wasn’t she the one who personally did those things? Is this how I taught her before?”

“All right, getting angry now is useless. From now on, we’ll pay more attention to Baby’s state of mind. The main thing now is to drag out the person hiding behind the scenes. Otherwise, something like this may happen again later.” Yin Yuehua gently stroked Gu Tiansheng’s back to help calm her down.

Gu Tiansheng also knew her wife was right. After calming down a little, she said directly, “I’ll call someone right now and have them carefully investigate the movements of the three assistants around Nannan. For something like this, the people beside her must know the clearest.”

Gu Tiansheng did not waste words and directly called her secretary, requesting a secret investigation into the three assistants around Gu Nan.

After hanging up, she sat down again and took a sip of the tea on the table that had already gone cold. “I hope she remembers these two beatings. From now on, she’d better settle down and live properly with Zhibei.”

“Then they still need to cultivate feelings first.” Yin Yuehua sat beside Gu Tiansheng and showed her the page she had just found.

“I looked at this variety show just now. Apparently, it’s very good at cultivating feelings between people. And during the investment-sponsorship stage, they were already preparing to sign Zhibei. We’ll sponsor it first. Once Baby and Zhibei’s bodies recover, we’ll send both of them over to cultivate feelings. What do you think?”

Gu Tiansheng looked at the chat window on Yin Yuehua’s phone. Several large, obvious words were displayed: “Shen Zhibei Fan Support Club President.”

The chat clearly contained an internally leaked confirmed invite list for the variety show, as well as sponsorship materials and so on.

She looked at her wife in disbelief.

“I thought when you said yesterday that you liked watching Zhibei act, you were just complimenting her. I didn’t expect you to actually have Zhibei’s fan support club president as a friend.”

“When Yuesheng signed Zhibei as a brand ambassador back then, I wanted to understand her works. It just so happened that her fan support club president added me as a friend on Big-Eye and said she wanted to recommend some to me, so I agreed.”

As Yin Yuehua said this, she suddenly felt something was off. She glanced sideways at Gu Tiansheng. “You thought I was only complimenting Zhibei?”

Gu Tiansheng realized she had misspoken and quickly began appeasing her wife.

“No, no. I just said that casually.”

Yin Yuehua did not care and continued condemning her. “You actually don’t pay attention to me normally. You don’t even know what movies and dramas I like watching!”

“No, of course I pay attention. Isn’t your favorite one Red Tassel?”

“Then tell me, who starred in it?” Yin Yuehua quietly watched Gu Tiansheng fall silent and unable to answer.

“As expected, you don’t pay attention to me.”

After saying that, she shook off Gu Tiansheng’s arm around her and walked toward the bedroom.

President Gu, who had just been overflowing with domineering CEO aura, instantly broke out in a cold sweat and fell into a family crisis.
