After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, My Omega Underwent a Second Differentiation - Chapter 10
Actually, Xiao Yuanxi’s impression of Sheng Yinglan had originally stopped at occasionally running into her in the elevator. Since the other woman was also very good-looking, she had inevitably paid a little extra attention.
It was only after Sheng Yinglan had hung on the trending searches for an entire day yesterday that Xiao Yuanxi learned that the neighbor living upstairs from her was not exactly someone easy to deal with either. The news was a mix of truth and lies, causing the beautiful-woman filter she had for Sheng Yinglan to be somewhat affected by speculation.
What she did not expect even more was that Sheng Yinglan had not only easily seen through the fact that she had not wanted to call the police at the time, but had also very considerately helped her out. That did not match the filthy scumbag or arrogant, domineering person described in the gossip at all.
Although the other woman looked as if she did not want to form any deeper relationship with her, because of Xiao Yuanxi’s own preconceived impression, she inevitably felt a little guilty. Besides, Sheng Yinglan really had helped her, so early in the morning, she came over to show some goodwill.
She had no experience in this area, and she could not find any suitable gifts at home for the moment. So she dug out several custom gift boxes from big-name brands. Just before going out, she felt that coming only with those did not seem like she was thanking someone, but more like she was giving a formal gift, so she simply brought along the few fruits at home that had been left there as decoration too.
Now, following Sheng Yinglan’s gaze and seeing those fruits that were indeed not very presentable, she felt a little embarrassed. But her mouth remained stubborn.
“What do you mean from last month? At most, they were bought last week.”
As she spoke, she somewhat guiltily used a custom watch box to block the fruits.
“Besides, aside from the fruit, aren’t there these too?”
Thanks to the original owner’s extravagant rich-second-generation character setting, Sheng Yinglan only needed one glance to know that the things Xiao Yuanxi had brought her were already worth far more than seven figures.
Not to mention that she and the other woman had only met once. Even if the other woman had been friends with the original owner, this would still be inappropriate.
Because of the environment she grew up in, Sheng Yinglan herself was not someone who loved making friends. Moreover, she had only just arrived in this world. Other than Yun Rong, she could not fully trust anyone else.
Especially now that Xiao Yuanxi had taken the initiative to show goodwill, it made her even more guarded.
“I’ve received your thanks. Leave the fruit. Take the rest back.”
She knew that her current situation was not very good and that she was short on money, but she still decisively gave the order to leave.
However, the other woman misunderstood.
Just by looking at Sheng Yinglan’s current residence and yesterday’s trending topics, Xiao Yuanxi knew that the other woman was not short on money. She thought Sheng Yinglan looked down on the little things she had brought and was just about to explain, but unexpectedly, her phone rang at that moment.
She originally wanted to hang up, but when she saw it was her manager, she could only first give Sheng Yinglan an apologetic look and answer the call.
“Mm… it’s me. I already said that the temperament of those actors last time didn’t fit my song. They can’t act out that kind of aura… I don’t care. Keep looking.”
When it came to work, Xiao Yuanxi seemed to become a different person. Even her body, which had originally been leaning into the sofa, straightened up a lot. Her attitude was also very firm.
“I’ll go to the audition site this afternoon…”
After saying that, she directly hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Sheng Yinglan, who had been standing nearby, heard the other woman’s words, and her pitch-black eyes lit up slightly, as if she had caught some important information.
She had already thought things through.
Whether it was because heaven had heard her prayer when she was on the verge of death, or whether it was merely a coincidence, since she had transmigrated into this world and seen Yun Rong, who looked exactly like Teacher Yun, and even become entangled with her—
No matter what, she would agree to Yun Rong’s request to become her contract girlfriend and help Yun Rong obtain what she wanted.
At the same time, she could temporarily accompany Yun Rong in this way.
But she also knew clearly that if she wanted to do all this, she first had to survive in this world.
Aside from this apartment, the original owner had no money to her name. Sheng Yinglan could only rely on her old profession to make a living.
Originally, she was still wondering where to start, but Xiao Yuanxi’s phone call had given her inspiration.
“What type is your new song? Do you have the storyboard script for the MV? What are the audition requirements?”
Before Xiao Yuanxi, who had just hung up the phone, could remember where their conversation had left off, Sheng Yinglan threw out three questions in a row first.
Seeing that the person who had been coldly trying to send her away earlier had suddenly made a complete one-eighty in attitude, Xiao Yuanxi was stunned for a moment. Her hand remained suspended in midair for quite a while before she remembered to withdraw it.
She did not mind that Sheng Yinglan had heard the contents of the call. After all, there was nothing to hide about it.
She just had not expected Sheng Yinglan to be interested in her new song.
Could it be that the other woman was secretly her hidden fan?
Somewhat suspicious, she said, “Why are you suddenly asking about this? The new song hasn’t been announced to the public yet…”
“If you really want to thank me, then give me the audition address. I want to give it a try.”
Sheng Yinglan had been a little impulsive just now. Only after the words left her mouth did she feel that her questions had been somewhat abrupt.
Thinking that Xiao Yuanxi might have misunderstood something, she hurriedly added this sentence.
Xiao Yuanxi stood up from the sofa in surprise and looked Sheng Yinglan up and down.
“You want to audition?”
Even though the other woman was wearing a dark green silk pajama set and had no makeup on her face, she was still stunningly beautiful. Especially that somewhat distant aura around her—it was actually a little like the character in the story.
Her new song had already been completely produced, but the casting for the MV had never been finalized. They had auditioned batch after batch of people, but Xiao Yuanxi had never encountered a suitable actor.
Now that Sheng Yinglan had suddenly recommended herself like this, Xiao Yuanxi truly felt her eyes brighten.
But this was work, after all. She could not rely entirely on personal feelings.
So she withdrew her gaze from Sheng Yinglan and lowered her head somewhat unnaturally, revealing a slightly troubled expression.
“Your face is indeed very suitable, but you probably don’t have any acting experience, right?”
In order to follow in Teacher Yun’s footsteps, Sheng Yinglan had won almost every high-value film and television award that Teacher Yun had won.
If she were speaking as herself, she could very responsibly tell Xiao Yuanxi how rich her acting experience was. Appearing in a mere MV would naturally not be a problem.
But now, she was the original owner.
Forget acting—the original owner probably had never even had a proper job.
Sheng Yinglan did not argue, but she did not give up either.
“I only want an audition opportunity. Just continue maintaining your high standards. You don’t need to go easy on me.”
She still stood where she was, maintaining that calm, neither servile nor overbearing appearance. She did not reveal any emotion because of Xiao Yuanxi’s doubt.
Yet her words were extremely confident, without the slightest compromise.
Sitting in the car, Yun Rong somewhat wearily pinched the space between her brows. Then her gaze drifted toward her phone, which had shown no movement.
From yesterday until now, she had been separated from Sheng Yinglan for almost an entire day.
Originally, she had thought the other woman would eventually be unable to endure it and send her a message.
But unexpectedly, Sheng Yinglan’s endurance was completely beyond her expectations.
As for herself, she did not know how many times she had looked at her phone this morning. She also kept frequently thinking of that flushed face.
Xicheng Film Base was the largest film city in the local area.
Aside from architectural sets restored from different eras, there were also many soundstages. Some short dramas with simple scenes did not need to travel between multiple locations for filming; they could be completed here alone, which provided convenience for many film and television productions.
Moreover, because of the booming entertainment industry, at the beginning of last year, a leading company had opened a tourist route inside the film base. Without disturbing the crews’ filming, it allowed certain drama fans to visit the shooting locations of their favorite shows in person.
Over the past year, it had been running very successfully. They spent money to develop it once and earned from both ends. Naturally, they were making money hand over fist.
To avoid attracting attention, Qin Yutong had arranged a surface-level work engagement for Yun Rong: this afternoon, at Xicheng Film Base, she would discuss an investment issue for a certain film or television drama with a producer.
So they did not deliberately avoid people. Even the car was parked in the public parking lot.
When Yun Rong got out of the car, she happened to run into a tour group. They were all young girls, their faces full of curiosity. Many of them were holding support items for some idol, looking very excited.
Yun Rong did not pay them any attention and walked straight ahead.
However, among the crowd, a few girls caught sight of her appearance and figure. Their faces flushed as they huddled together and whispered. One or two bold ones even seemed to want to chase after her and ask for her phone number, but before they could get close, the dutiful Secretary Qin stopped them.
When the two of them found the agreed-upon soundstage, Yun Rong suddenly caught sight from afar of a familiar figure slipping into the building.
Why would she be here?
Or had she seen wrong?
Before Yun Rong could think further, her feet had already followed of their own accord.
Sheng Yinglan had still obtained the address and an audition opportunity from Xiao Yuanxi.
However, she refused the other woman’s request to go with her. At home, she carefully studied the audition requirements she had only just received. After tidying herself up, she rushed to one of the soundstages at Xicheng Film Base.
She arrived much earlier than the agreed time.
After entering the building, she did not hurry straight to her destination. Instead, she leisurely walked around floor by floor, observing the situation while others were filming.
After discovering that this world did not differ much from her original world in terms of film and television shooting and production methods, she finally relaxed a little.
Although it was called a soundstage, because of the needs of set construction and style during filming, the building’s interior decoration was a kind of extremely minimalist style comparable to Syria. Aside from the carefully arranged areas, the brick walls in other parts were directly exposed.
After looking around for a while, Sheng Yinglan felt it was not very interesting and planned to go to the restroom.
Who knew that when she entered, she almost bumped into someone.
Before she could say an apology, the other woman first called her name in surprise.
“Sheng Yinglan? Why is it you?”
The woman before her had somewhat heroic features. She wore an indigo jumpsuit, and the corners of her eyes tilted slightly upward, making her look a little fierce.
The tone she used when calling out to Sheng Yinglan was not the kind of simple happiness from a chance encounter. It also carried a few traces of teasing and mockery.
“I called you so many times, but you didn’t answer. Could it be that after hooking up with the Yun family’s second princess, you can’t wait to draw a clear line between yourself and friends like us?”
Sheng Yinglan quickly matched the woman in front of her with the original owner’s memories and knew that she was one of the original owner’s bad friends, Lin Wanjia.
Like the original owner, she came from a wealthy family, was spoiled rotten by her parents, and had grown up together with the original owner into a social cancer.
Yesterday, when Sheng Yinglan returned home, she had checked her phone and found that after she was kicked out by the Sheng family, she had called this person before.
However, the other woman had not answered and had not contacted the original owner either.
It was only after news about Sheng Yinglan and Yun Rong appeared on the trending searches yesterday that she had called several times. Now, she was the one accusing first.
Sheng Yinglan did not want to get entangled with someone like this.
But since she would have to continue living as the original owner in the future, some things still had to be made clear.
“Whether the two of us are actually friends or not, you should know very well in your heart. There’s no need for this. And in the future, we don’t need to stay in contact either.”
She glanced at the other woman indifferently. After expressing her stance, she withdrew her gaze and turned sideways to enter the restroom.
Lin Wanjia never expected Sheng Yinglan to dare speak to her like this.
Especially now that Sheng Yinglan had already been kicked out of the Sheng family. Those light, airy words were like two hard slaps to her face.
Lin Wanjia’s face flushed bright red. Immediately, she became anxious. She turned around and followed Sheng Yinglan into the restroom angrily.
“What? Now that you’ve finally gotten Yun Rong, you’re planning to turn over a new leaf?”
Sheng Yinglan silently turned on the faucet.
She turned a deaf ear to Lin Wanjia’s malicious words and merely washed her hands carefully, completely treating the woman standing behind her as if she were nothing.
She knew that with someone like Lin Wanjia, the more attention you paid her, the more energetic she became.
So she simply said nothing, thinking that once the other woman had acted out enough of her one-person show, she would stop.
If it had been the old Sheng Yinglan, how could she possibly have let Lin Wanjia scold her for so long without saying a word?
Although Lin Wanjia found it strange, if she did not vent the anger stuck in her chest, she would feel extremely humiliated.
Seeing that Sheng Yinglan had no reaction at all to her insults, Lin Wanjia’s eyes immediately shifted. She slowed her tone, and the corner of her mouth lifted lightly. She changed into a careless smile.
“Or is it that Yun Rong’s reproductive cavity is that intoxicating? Did you use the same old methods you used on other Omegas to get her? Without even using the real thing, she could still make you feel that good. She must have some special skill, huh?
“Since she’s that intoxicating, when are you going to trick her out and let us broaden our horizons too? We have real tools. Not only can we satisfy that slut, we can also make sure her reproductive cavity gets fucked so hard it can’t even close—ugh… cough, cough…”
At some point, the fine sound of flowing water had stopped.
Before Lin Wanjia could finish speaking, Sheng Yinglan had already turned around swiftly and moved straight forward, seizing the other woman by the throat.
She was tall, and her attack came without the slightest warning. Taking advantage of Lin Wanjia’s unpreparedness, she had already dragged her several steps backward and pressed her against the marble edge of the sink.
Before the other woman could react, Sheng Yinglan grabbed the fragrance bottle placed on the sink and smashed it against the mirror.
Then, as the glass shards fell, she picked up a long, slanted piece of broken glass and directly pressed it against the other woman’s carotid artery.
The whole process did not even take a minute.
“Apologize.”
