After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, My Omega Underwent a Second Differentiation - Chapter 3

The dancing light spots were finally blocked by the silhouette of a figure, and her eyes, irritated by the glare, traced the appearance of the woman standing nearby.

At first glance, that face bore no resemblance whatsoever to Teacher Yun or Yun Rong; she was noticeably more mature and seasoned. In particular, her current awe-inspiring aura as she glared at Sheng Yinglan was something Yun Rong lacked entirely. Yet, through the bone structure beneath her flesh and the proportions of her facial features, it was easy to spot the shared lineage and temperament she held with Yun Rong.

Furthermore, when the woman opened her mouth to threaten her just now, it essentially served as a self-introduction. Sheng Yinglan’s brain, which had been frozen all night, finally began to function. At the same time, those fragments of life memories that had suddenly intruded into her mind last night caused her to knit her brows. Turning her head in confusion, she breathed out a name: “Yun Keyi?”

Yun Keyi was Yun Rong’s half-sister in the book, and the sole heir to the Yun family before Yun Rong was found. What astonished Sheng Yinglan was that in the novel’s timeline, when she drugged Yun Rong, Yun Rong was clearly still a pitiful soul struggling in the mud, having not yet been reclaimed by her family.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been subjected to such humiliation and oppression by a wealthy second-generation heir who did whatever she pleased.

Yet right now, the flashback fragments in her mind clearly informed her that for the past two weeks, the only news endlessly flooding the trending searches was that the Yun family had finally found their little princess who had been lost for years. Yun Rong had finally returned to the Yun family after a long absence, becoming the second heir to the Yun Group.

The novel’s contents were completely different from the memories stuffed into Sheng Yinglan’s head regarding what had already transpired in this world. Yun Rong had returned to the Yun family ahead of schedule.

“Oh… you haven’t given up yet, have you? That look of surprise was acted quite well. Are you going to say next that you don’t have a phone, don’t read the news, didn’t know Yun Rong had been brought home, and were completely unaware she became the heir to the Yun Group? That you truly love her, even though right now the Sheng family has—”

“Sister, aren’t I standing right here completely fine? I just… I just drank a bit too much, that’s all…”

Regarding the rumors about Sheng Yinglan among the wealthy heirs, Yun Keyi had naturally caught wind of them and knew that someone like her was a waste of space. Carrying a sneer, she exposed the other party’s hypocrisy bit by bit, even intending to use the recent events surrounding her to mock her thoroughly, only to be cut off by Yun Rong.

The flashbacks belonging to the original owner in her mind were too intricate. Sheng Yinglan only managed to firmly grasp a few, and before she could examine them closely, her gaze was instinctively drawn away by Yun Rong’s voice.

She must have freshened up; her original form-fitting, high-collared black shirt had been replaced by a long white dress with an equally high collar. The dress featured a very high waist paired with a bright red leather corset, making her look lively yet sexy. Not an inch of skin on her tightly wrapped neck could be seen, and a piece of gauze was faintly visible at the back of her neck.

Even though she was dressed glamorously enough to attend a corporate board meeting the next second, her sickly pale complexion and the dark circles under her eyes made it clear that she hadn’t rested properly since last night.

Her tone when speaking to Yun Keyi wasn’t intimate, but it carried respect. When stopping the other party from speaking further, she even instinctively wanted to tug at Yun Keyi’s sleeve, but ultimately, deterred by her sister’s expression, she merely rubbed her fingers together unconsciously and dropped her hand again. Even her tone sounded lacking in confidence when she falsely claimed they had simply drunk too much.

And Yun Rong’s blatant lie directly infuriated Yun Keyi beside her. She turned around to look at Yun Rong with complete disdain. “Do you think I’m worried about you? Worried about a sister who has only been calling me ‘Sister’ for two weeks? Do you know how much the Yun Group’s stock price will drop when the market opens this afternoon once these photos break? Do you know how much market value will vanish into thin air?”

Her voice was thick with mockery, thoroughly despising that form of address from Yun Rong. She even took two steps back, sweeping a critical gaze up and down Yun Rong. “With this look of yours, how could you possibly be part of the Yun family’s—”

“Miss Yun, I was the one who drugged Yun Rong last night. If you need me to, I can clarify it to the public. Of course, you can also directly call the police, and I will confess truthfully.”

There’s no need to speak so maliciously to your own sister; she looks so heartbroken.

In front of an outsider, Yun Keyi didn’t even bother to hide her disgust for Yun Rong. It was hard to imagine how Yun Rong had gotten through the past two weeks. The slight relief Sheng Yinglan had felt earlier—thinking that Yun Rong returning home early meant she would suffer less—vanished in an instant. She couldn’t resist interrupting Yun Keyi before more vicious words could be spat out.

The moment she said this, the gazes of the remaining two people swung toward her.

In truth, Sheng Yinglan’s words weren’t spoken lightly; she had considered them carefully. Although she had started the game with such a scumbag character, she couldn’t just bash her head against a wall to see if she could restart the game, could she? If she could restart, that would naturally be great, but if she couldn’t, Sheng Yinglan had finally seen this face that looked exactly like Teacher Yun’s—honestly, she was a bit reluctant to leave it.

Therefore, she had to ponder how to turn this character trait around. Sheng Yinglan had a very clear self-awareness: she couldn’t be a person as wicked as the original owner, so she could only find a way to make the original owner look like a good person in everyone’s eyes. To put it in character development terms, she needed to set up a major inciting incident for the character, allowing her to undergo growth and give the character a proper arc.

And right now, having just drugged Yun Rong, using this opportunity to surrender herself and turn over a new leaf was a decent choice.

Furthermore, when they were in the room last night, she had forcefully restrained herself from touching Yun Rong and had even allowed her to leave the room. No matter how one looked at it, this should count as an attempted act, not a completed one. Moreover, the original owner’s family seemed to be wealthy and influential; with some pulling of strings, it might not lead to a prison sentence. That was why she boldly spoke those words.

Though somewhat shocked that such humane words could come out of the mouth of a scumbag like Sheng Yinglan, Yun Keyi was ultimately no three-year-old child to blindly believe her. In her eyes, Sheng Yinglan was likely plotting some crooked scheme. She raised her brows with a half-smile, looking askance at Sheng Yinglan.

“There’s no need to say such pretty words in front of me. You go turn yourself in to the police, and then later show them the doctor’s diagnosis, telling them you aren’t an undifferentiated Alpha but instead suffer from a Disabled Gland Disorder, meaning you couldn’t possibly do anything to Yun Rong anyway? And then follow that up by dragging the Yun family out for a spin in public?”

Speaking up to this point, Yun Keyi paused deliberately, seemingly wanting to observe Sheng Yinglan’s reaction. Unsurprisingly, the other party’s face was entirely blank, as if hearing the words “Disabled Gland Disorder” for the first time. She snorted. “I underestimated you in the past, thinking you were just a spoiled, useless wealthy second-generation heir back when you were with the Sheng family. Who knew that after being kicked out, your brain would actually become quite sharp, and your acting isn’t bad either.”

What Disabled Gland Disorder?

What being kicked out?

These abrupt terms caught Sheng Yinglan’s attention, and she quickly retrieved the flashback fragments regarding “being kicked out.”

Sheng Yinglan wasn’t a biological child of the Sheng family but had been accidentally swapped with another family’s child when she was young. After being raised willfully and arbitrarily for over twenty years, she was thrown out into the street by the parents she had called Mom and Dad for over two decades but shared no blood relation with.

However, in the book, this plot occurred long after Sheng Yinglan had forcefully claimed Yun Rong. In reality, the original owner had been kicked out less than three days ago.

It appeared that not only was Yun Rong’s solo storyline different from the novel, but even the original owner’s development differed as well. Though puzzled, Sheng Yinglan didn’t let it show. This time, she carefully searched through all the memories in her mind and found that there truly was no information regarding a Disabled Gland Disorder. Just as she was about to ask Yun Keyi what she meant, she heard Yun Rong’s somewhat resentful voice.

“Sister, how can you be like this? This is someone else’s privacy, you promised me just now…”

She cast a somewhat apologetic glance at Sheng Yinglan, then glared at Yun Keyi with disapproval, displaying the exact aggrieved and helpless expression a child wears when they have been deceived.

“Even if I don’t say it, the doctor will. Have you forgotten where this is? What I said just now was that if you want me to keep this privacy a secret, I have conditions—and I’m going to negotiate them with her.”

Faced with Yun Rong’s accusation, Yun Keyi stated without a hint of shame what the two had argued about while Sheng Yinglan was asleep.

By now, even if Sheng Yinglan were a fool, she understood Yun Keyi’s words. The other party had actually formed a strategy in her mind early on but had remained tight-lipped, only revealing her true colors now that she saw Sheng Yinglan had reached a dead end.

Yun Rong seemed to want to argue further, but Sheng Yinglan spoke up first: “Since Miss Yun has already considered it, you might as well say it directly.”

A faint smile hung on her face, showing no sign of cowardice. Over the past few years working as an actress, she had always strived to slowly draw closer to Teacher Yun, hoping to stand shoulder to shoulder with her one day. Though fate had played a trick on her and her acting skills might still pale in comparison, she had learned quite a bit of this composure.

Yun Keyi seemed quite gratified by her attitude of knowing when to yield. However, she still stood incredibly straight, looking down on Sheng Yinglan as if condescending to sit down and have a proper talk would severely tarnish her dignity. But this time, she finally stopped beating around the bush.

“My condition is that you confess to the police, in full detail, how you drugged and played with other Omegas in the past. Bring out all the video recordings you took, and then tell the police that you originally intended to do the same to Yun Rong, making her out to be nothing but a complete victim. Only with evidence of you playing with people in the past will the public believe Yun Rong is innocent. If you agree to this condition, I will keep your Disabled Gland Disorder a secret and instruct the police to do the same, ensuring you a safe living environment during your detention. Though you will lose your freedom, you will keep your life.”

Sheng Yinglan, who had navigated the entertainment industry for years, had seen plenty of the ugly faces of capitalists. However, aside from being harassed and faced with inappropriate demands when she first signed with her agency, her subsequent path to stardom had been exceptionally smooth. She had always thought she was simply lucky, until one day after Teacher Yun’s departure, she learned through word of mouth from others that all the matters the company had stepped in to settle for her in the past were due to Teacher Yun pulling strings behind the scenes. The fact that no one dared to harass her later was entirely out of respect for Teacher Yun.

She hadn’t expected to experience this firsthand today, where Yun Keyi lightly moved her upper and lower lips, making the trade of freedom for one’s life sound incredibly trivial.

Sheng Yinglan let out a self-deprecating curl of her lips. Before meeting Teacher Yun and becoming an actress, her life had been a daily struggle just to survive. She hadn’t expected that even after transmigrating into a book, she would still experience the feeling of her life not being in her own hands.

This self-deprecating smile of hers likely provoked Yun Keyi, who predicted the consequences of her turning down the optimal solution without a single pause: “If you’re unwilling, I will reveal your Disabled Gland Disorder to the Omegas you used to oppress in the past. I won’t even need to lift a finger; the Sheng family can no longer protect you, and the moment you step foot out of this hospital, those people will play you to death.”

In the novel, Sheng Yinglan was an absolute scumbag Alpha. Before she had even differentiated, she enjoyed finding ways to get her hands on any Omega who caught her eye. Though she hadn’t differentiated yet, she had plenty of ways to play those Omegas to death. After she differentiated, this behavior only worsened. Moreover, she had the perverted habit of taking video recordings, both to hold leverage over others and to satisfy her own perversions. However, because the Sheng family possessed massive wealth and power, she had always been completely secure—until she was discovered not to be the biological daughter of the Sheng family and was swept out the door, subsequently facing malicious revenge from others, including Yun Rong.

To be honest, Sheng Yinglan definitely wanted both her small life and her freedom. If she wanted to die, she would have already used this method to test if she could restart the game. She certainly didn’t want to enter prison and lose her freedom; after all, her reason for staying was to spend more time around Yun Rong. Given that the other party possessed the exact same face as Teacher Yun, just looking at her like this already brought Sheng Yinglan an immense sense of satisfaction.

She wasn’t stupid, nor was she impulsive. She knew that under these circumstances, she could only choose to agree to Yun Keyi’s conditions first. After all, video evidence and the like would surely require her to search the original owner’s lair. As long as she delayed things temporarily, she could always think of a way out.

Furthermore, she currently had no understanding of the Disabled Gland Disorder, but based on the conversation between Yun Rong and Yun Keyi, she could guess that suffering from this thing was quite troublesome. If she could only protect herself temporarily, she needed to ask the doctor about the specific details as soon as possible.

However, what puzzled her somewhat was that she had just searched her mind but found no relevant memories of these events, much less any images.

Seeing that Yun Keyi’s patience was about to run out, Sheng Yinglan was prepared to use a stalling tactic. To her surprise, Yun Rong, who had kept her head lowered the entire time, chose this moment to speak up.

“She is my girlfriend.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” The moment she started, she was cut off by Yun Keyi.

“I said, announce to the public that she is my girlfriend. Instead of racking our brains to cut ties, it would be better to generously admit it. Even if your first plan can clear my name, it will take time. The group’s stock price will only keep fluctuating along with the progression of the incident, and unstable market factors will cause even more trouble. Sister, you should understand this better than I do.”

As she spoke these words, the original timidity in her eyes had completely vanished, replaced by a flash of a deep, bottomless emotion that disappeared in an instant.

The consequence of being too astonished was that Yun Keyi’s attention was entirely fixed on the content of her words, thus missing the emotion in her eyes. Sheng Yinglan, too, was momentarily dazed from her shock, thinking that the person speaking those words was Teacher Yun, and so she overlooked Yun Rong’s most direct reaction.

“Her reputation is simply too terrible. Even if we announce it to the public this way, it still won’t reduce the Yun Group’s losses. You’ve only been back for two weeks, and already you want to dictate company matters—”

“Sister, I don’t want to dictate company matters, nor do I understand how to reduce losses. However, I am willing to transfer 5% of the 20% Yun Group shares left behind by our parents to you. I believe that if we do this, you will be able to answer to the company in your capacity as the largest shareholder, right?”

In just this short span of time, Yun Rong seemed to change back into that person with timidity flashing in her eyes, wishing to draw close to Yun Keyi. She boldly put forward this idea, looking as though she were entirely unaware of what kind of consequences such an operation would bring.
