After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 9

The shadow was human scum. The shadow was human scum. The shadow was human scum.

This important statement was worth repeating three times.

Originally, because the situation had gradually been improving, Gu Nan had almost forgotten the sins the shadow had committed, or was about to commit.

But now that Shen Zhibei mentioned her father and dad, Gu Nan remembered again the scummy things the shadow would have done if she had not returned.

First, it had to be emphasized again: before she came back, the novel she had read, which was based on the world she originally lived in, was a yuri ABO angst novel.

And as the female lead of this angst novel, Shen Zhibei naturally had the standard tragic childhood of an angst-novel heroine.

As a child, she was abused by her Alpha father. Fortunately, her Omega dad, Lin Zhaoyang, had always protected her and carefully accompanied her, allowing Shen Zhibei to have a childhood that was not quite so cold.

Later, her Alpha father drank and gambled, lost the entire family fortune, and even owed a huge amount of debt outside. When he hid back home, he happened to see Shen Zhibei returning home during vacation, so he found an excuse to take out his anger on her through domestic violence.

At that time, in order to protect Shen Zhibei, Lin Zhaoyang pushed the man. As a result, the drunk man failed to keep his balance, hit his head against the corner of a table, bled heavily from the head, and died.

Lin Zhaoyang had suffered domestic violence for years, and with the shock from this incident added on, some problems developed with his mental state.

Her father was dead, leaving behind enormous debts, and her dad’s mind had also developed problems, requiring him to enter a nursing home.

Shen Zhibei, who was only twenty at the time, had no choice but to enter the entertainment industry in order to support the family, because money came quickly in that circle.

This was also the reason Shen Zhibei’s feelings toward her two fathers were so extremely polarized. One was someone she did not want to mention at all, while the other could be considered her spiritual pillar.

As for the dad who was her spiritual pillar, Shen Zhibei naturally did not want the scumbag in her eyes to come into contact with him.

However, the Gu wives were very traditional and insisted on meeting Shen Zhibei’s family before the wedding.

Shen Zhibei could not refuse such a proper request, so she took Gu Nan to meet her dad once. Along the way, they also video-called the Gu wives.

It was this meeting that left behind a deep hidden danger.

After the two got married, because the shadow caused far too much trouble, Shen Zhibei, with Ding Ziyan’s support, firmly wanted a divorce.

The shadow then had someone beat Ding Ziyan, who supported Shen Zhibei’s divorce, until she was disabled. Even after that, she still was not satisfied. Using her status as a family member, she secretly made an appointment at the nursing home to see Lin Zhaoyang, then showed him screenshots of the online abuse Shen Zhibei had suffered all this time, as well as the nude photos she had taken.

Lin Zhaoyang’s mental state already could not withstand even the slightest stimulation.

With this one move, the shadow completely shattered Lin Zhaoyang’s fragile mind. He directly jumped from the rooftop of the nursing home and died on the spot.

It was precisely because so many hatred-attracting debuffs had stacked together that Shen Zhibei’s emotions completely lost control, and she directly killed the shadow.

Gu Nan had not read what happened afterward, because the author had written in the author’s note that the female lead would soon encounter a second cannon-fodder scumbag Alpha.

Gu Nan, who had originally been enjoying the read and wanted it to become even more satisfying, could not possibly continue reading just to torture herself. She immediately closed it.

Now, however, she was a little regretful that she had not read what came after.

Who exactly was the scumbag Alpha Shen Zhibei later encountered? If she knew, she could guard against that person early.

However, thinking so much now was useless. The plot she knew had already begun changing from the moment she returned.

It was more practical to think about how to meet her father-in-law.

…

The injuries on Gu Nan’s body recovered at an astonishing speed, especially the ones on her face. Even the doctor, who had come for several consecutive days to give Shen Zhibei her soothing agent, clicked her tongue in wonder.

Considering that both of them had recovered well, especially since Shen Zhibei had completely expelled the inducer from her system, the doctor finally allowed the two of them to go out.

The two of them could finally begin the first step of clarifying things.

Although both their companies had released statements over the past few days, their personal Big-Eye accounts had remained completely silent, causing many netizens to remain suspicious.

On Big-Eye’s real-time square, there were also people occasionally stirring up public opinion about Shen Zhibei.

It was probably because people who coveted Shen Zhibei’s resources had all gotten involved.

So after they finally received the doctor’s permission to go out, the two first went to the nursing home to visit Lin Zhaoyang.

Because the nursing home required appointments in advance and also limited the number of visitors, Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua could not come. They could only have Gu Nan bring the gifts they had prepared.

When the time came, depending on Lin Zhaoyang’s mental state, they would see whether they could meet him through a video call.

From the moment she stood at the entrance of the nursing home and began registering as a visitor, Gu Nan was already nervous.

“Is it okay for me to dress like this?”

Gu Nan asked Shen Zhibei beside her while carrying the gifts prepared by her mother and mom.

Shen Zhibei looked at Gu Nan, who had slicked her short hair back into a full pompadour with thick hair gel and was wearing a complete suit. She was somewhat speechless.

Her gaze stayed on Gu Nan’s seemingly reflective hair for a long time before she finally said, “Not bad. Just stay like this.”

After saying that, she stretched out her hand and waited for a long time, but Gu Nan still did not move.

Turning to look, she realized Gu Nan was still endlessly adjusting her clothes. Finally unable to endure it anymore, she said, “Give me your hand.”

“Huh?” Gu Nan looked up blankly. “For what?”

“To pretend we’re a little more intimate.” Shen Zhibei hooked her arm around Gu Nan’s, but because her movement was too stiff, it looked more like she was dragging Gu Nan along. “Otherwise, my dad will notice.”

Gu Nan’s whole body stiffened because of Shen Zhibei’s sudden movement. Only then did she gradually relax.

Feeling Gu Nan’s stiffness, Shen Zhibei sneered coldly. “We’re not in your house right now. You don’t need to pretend like this.”

“I’m not pretending.” Gu Nan moved her arm uncomfortably, then accidentally brushed against a soft mound. She immediately froze, then turned her head at once to explain to Shen Zhibei. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“I know. You did it intentionally.”

Shen Zhibei still said this with a cold face, but her footsteps did not pause at all as she brought Gu Nan toward Lin Zhaoyang’s room.

Looking at Shen Zhibei, who kept her face cold the whole time, Gu Nan could not help saying, “Aren’t you afraid that if you keep such a cold face now, it’ll affect your performance later when you act intimate with me in front of your dad? Honestly, if you really can’t act it out, just keep smiling and don’t talk. That way, your dad won’t be able to tell.”

Shen Zhibei simply could not believe that she was actually being taught acting by Gu Nan.

She glanced sideways at Gu Nan. “I should be the one saying that to you. If you don’t know how to speak to my dad, then you don’t need to talk. I’ll speak, and you can just agree.”

Gu Nan was nervous because this was her first time experiencing meeting a girlfriend’s parent, so she did not know what to do.

But after hearing Shen Zhibei say this, her strange competitive spirit rose.

The more Shen Zhibei would not let her speak, the more she insisted on speaking. Just wait.

When they arrived in front of the hospital room, Shen Zhibei, who had still been wearing a cold expression, suddenly turned sweetly smiling.

The way she held Gu Nan’s arm no longer looked stiff either. Instead, she leaned softly against Gu Nan, and while holding her arm, she even slid her fingers between Gu Nan’s and clasped them tightly.

This level of acting left Gu Nan staring blankly.

As expected of a Film Empress.

They had already reached the door, so Shen Zhibei no longer dared speak in her previous tone. She gave Gu Nan a look, telling her to push the door open and act properly.

Fine, she would act properly.

Gu Nan gathered her spirits and reached out to push open the door of the room.

Inside the room, a thin, delicate-looking man was sitting on the hospital bed. His right hand held a paintbrush, his left hand held a palette, and there was an easel set up in front of him. He was painting attentively.

The sound of the door being pushed open pulled Lin Zhaoyang out of his own world.

Seeing his daughter come in arm-in-arm with another unfamiliar woman, a smile appeared on Lin Zhaoyang’s face.

Shen Zhibei had also not visited Lin Zhaoyang for a long time. Now that she saw the smile on his face, the sweet smile she had originally acted out instantly turned into a genuine one.

She had just been about to speak when she heard Gu Nan beside her call out “Dad” with a bright smile before she could, then drag her over.

Not only was Shen Zhibei stunned, even Lin Zhaoyang was stunned by Gu Nan’s familiarity. But thinking that she had come in arm-in-arm with his daughter, and that she had called him Dad—

The smile returned to Lin Zhaoyang’s face. He placed the paintbrush and palette in his hands onto the easel.

“You are Zhibei’s…?”

“Dad, I’m Zhibei’s girlfriend. My name is Gu Nan.”

Gu Nan placed the gifts in her hands on the floor, took Lin Zhaoyang’s hands, and shook them warmly to express her friendliness.

The smile on Lin Zhaoyang’s face deepened, and he gently asked Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei to sit down and talk.

As soon as they sat down, Gu Nan caught Shen Zhibei about to speak and immediately said first, “Dad, these are gifts my mother and mom brought for you. We don’t know whether you’ll like them. Before buying them, we asked Zhibei too, but Zhibei said you would like anything we chose.”

“I do indeed like all of them.” Lin Zhaoyang looked at Gu Nan kindly.

Shen Zhibei had a belly full of things she wanted to say to her dad, but ever since Gu Nan entered the room, she had been chattering nonstop and had not let Shen Zhibei get a single word in.

She immediately glared at Gu Nan in secret, telling her to know when to stop.

She had originally wanted to keep it hidden from her dad, but Lin Zhaoyang still noticed.

Lin Zhaoyang lightly patted Shen Zhibei to tell her not to be like that. Only then did he say to Gu Nan, “Nannan, may I call you that?”

“Of course.” Gu Nan had already started opening the fruit basket, preparing to wash some fruit.

“Zhibei is a little willful. When you two are together in the future, please be more tolerant of her.”

Shen Zhibei was secretly sulking after being spoken of that way by her own dad.

Gu Nan wanted to laugh when she saw Shen Zhibei’s expression.

At her house, her mother and mom sided with Shen Zhibei. But here, your dad is siding with me, isn’t he?

“No, no. Because I’m younger than Zhibei, she’s actually the one who tolerates me,” Gu Nan said modestly.

The moment Gu Nan said this, Shen Zhibei saw her dad’s expression turn thoughtful and inwardly cried that things were bad.

“May I ask, Nannan, how old are you this year?”

“I’m twenty-four.”

“Twenty-four.” Lin Zhaoyang smiled faintly, and in the next sentence, he said, “Oh, right. Zhibei usually doesn’t like to talk much, so please be more understanding of that as well.”

The moment Lin Zhaoyang said this, Shen Zhibei’s expression changed uncontrollably.
