After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 10

Chi Huan: Still alive, don’t bother me.

“A grown person, in her own home, manages to fall and injure herself into what she claims is high-level paraplegia.”

Rong Qing, who rushed over after hearing the news, placed her exquisitely embroidered handbag aside and raised an eyebrow, her tone non-committal, “How glorious.”

Chi Huan said sheepishly: “I just slipped a little…”

“Anyone who didn’t know would think I was your wicked stepmother.”

Chi Huan: “?”

Why is she bringing up stepmothers?

Rong Qing noticed her confusion, her tone becoming deeper, “All those fairy tales you read as a child, where did they go?”

Chi Huan sincerely inquired: “Which one are you referring to?”

Chi Huan felt confident about this.

She wouldn’t claim anything else, but she had genuinely read a lot of miscellaneous books.

Fairy tales in kindergarten, comics in elementary school, various serialized magazines in middle school, gradually connecting with the internet in high school, and don’t even get me started on university—returning to Haitang (a fictional website) was like coming home…

Getting off-topic.

In short, whether it was old man Andersen or old man Cao (referencing classic literature/authors), or that sister and that diary, or that talking dog with a tie, there wasn’t anything she hadn’t seen!

Chi Huan confidently raised her head, ready for the Dowager Empress’s pop quiz.

Rong Qing recalled, “It was the one where the stepmother didn’t give her stepdaughter food, made her work all day, and eventually starved the stepdaughter into an idiot, suffering from delusions.”

Chi Huan: “???”

There’s a fairy tale like that? And why does the plot sound completely wrong?

Rong Qing saw that she still didn’t understand and added: “And then the poor stepdaughter imagined herself going to some prince’s ball, ended up losing her shoe, falling down the stairs, and becoming both disabled and foolish.”

Chi Huan: “…”

Prince, ball, lost shoe?

She asked humbly: “Are you talking about Cinderella?”

Rong Qing: “Ah, yes, yes, yes. I think that’s the name.”

Chi Huan: “…” The fairy tales in this world are quite intense.

Rong Qing said: “You look exactly like that stepdaughter.”

She looked her over critically and with disgust: “Stupid.”

“But I haven’t starved you, so why have you ended up like this?” Rong Qing pondered for a moment. “Could it be some recessive gene from your father?”

Chi Huan: “…He’s your husband and your daughter, at least be more tactful!”

Rong Qing: “Heh.”

The mockery was palpable.

Chi Huan gave up the struggle: “Fine, fine. But weren’t you busy with work? Why did you come back so quickly?”

Rong Qing was a typical career woman, the kind who would practically live at the company.

Chi Huan hadn’t broken a leg or shattered her skull. At most, she had broken the skin a bit. This was too fast a response!

Rong Qing’s eyes flashed. She didn’t address the question but only said: “You are going to stay here and recuperate properly. Don’t look at your phone for this period. You’ll be un-grounded when you’re fully healed and can return to work for me.”

Chi Huan was instantly distracted. She widened her eyes and objected: “No way!”

Not giving her phone? Wouldn’t that be the end of her?!

My head can break, my blood can flow, mountains can crumble and the earth can merge, but I will never say goodbye to my phone!

She tried to reason: “No, Mom, I’m an adult. Taking my phone away is unreasonable! I…”

When it concerned her life source, calling her “Mom” suddenly wasn’t so difficult to say.

Rong Qing couldn’t be bothered to listen to her babble. She slightly raised her voice, saying lazily: “Little Zhao.”

Zhao Shu scurried in from outside. White shirt, suit skirt, black silk stockings, and high heels. She stood in front of Rong Qing, head lowered like a submissive wife: “Chairwoman Rong, I’m here.”

Rong Qing stood up, adjusted the shawl draped over her arm, her eyes half-closed, long, thick lashes concealing her expression. She lifted her chin toward Chi Huan.

“Keep an eye on her. Her allowance for this year will be your year-end bonus.”

“You can’t do this! That’s foul play!”

Chi Huan howled while looking at Zhao Shu.

This young woman looks kind and gentle. She would never agree to such an inhumane thing, right?

Whether it was her imagination or not, as her gaze swept over, Zhao Shu instinctively avoided her eyes.

Chi Huan’s heart instantly chilled.

If there were background music right now, it would definitely be, “Are you serious about taking half a step back? Such a small movement, but the hurt is so great…”

Zhao Shu avoided her gaze and said to Rong Qing: “Yes, Chairwoman Rong.”

Rong Qing nodded with satisfaction.

The sound of ten-centimeter satin heels clicking on the floor faded away. In the ward, Chi Huan looked at Zhao Shu full of hope.

“Zhao Zhao, you were just humoring my mom, right? You’re actually on my side, aren’t you? You’ll give me my phone as soon as she leaves…” Right?

Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, looking at her with apology in her eyes.

Chi Huan: “…How much is my yearly allowance?”

Enough to make you sell your soul so easily?!

Zhao Shu subtly quoted a number.

Chi Huan gasped, incredulous: “Doesn’t that mean I could buy an apartment in the city center every year?”

Zhao Shu’s thoughts were interrupted. She was a little confused: “You want to buy a house in the city center? Didn’t you just buy one last month?”

Chi Huan: !

Zhao Shu: “Could it be you want a new car? That apartment is a duplex, only about two hundred square meters in total, and only comes with three parking spaces. It’s indeed not quite enough.”

Chi Huan: !!!

Zhao Shu saw Chi Huan’s expression completely crack. She suddenly remembered that the person in front of her just had her head smashed and was worried: “President Chi, are you feeling unwell? Does your head hurt?”

Chi Huan said in a daze: “Is it? I think so?”

Zhao Shu inhaled sharply: “I’ll go call the doctor for you!”

Chi Huan grabbed her hand, looking up to confirm: “You said I have an apartment? In the city center? A duplex? With three parking spaces? And they’re all full?”

What kind of blessed life is this?

Zhao Shu couldn’t afford to feel guilty about her betrayal anymore. Her heart went cold.

It’s over! The big boss just left, and the boss’s silly daughter is truly stupid now. How is she going to explain this to the boss?

Chi Huan’s eyes were unfocused, and a strange liquid dripped from the corner of her mouth, shining brightly: “Hehe… I’m rich. I have a house. That’s great!”

Although she knew the original protagonist was wealthy when she read the novel, and she had personally seen the company’s décor when she transmigrated.

But at that time, her mind was full of becoming cannon fodder, being dealt with by the female lead, and finally losing everything and living on the streets, surviving by picking up trash.

She saw all this wealth as fleeting, so she didn’t pay much attention.

But a house! A house in the city center! The System promised to leave her some assets!

When she completed the mission, she didn’t need anything else. If the System just left her this apartment, it would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life!

Not to mention those luxury cars…

She, Chi Huan, would also live the good life of a landlady!

Chi Huan grew happier the more she thought about it. She lowered her head and counted her fingers, one by one.

One house is eight digits, one car is at least seven digits… one house, three cars…

Hehehehehe…

Zhao Shu closed her eyes, her voice softening: “President Chi, wait for me here. I’ll go call a doctor to examine you, alright?”

Chi Huan was immersed in her own fantasy and completely missed what Zhao Shu was saying. Seeing her about to leave, she assumed she was going back to work and waved her hand.

“Be careful on your way.”

Zhao Shu’s eyes were full of despair, her voice strained: “You absolutely must wait for me!”

Every time she looked away, this little menace caused trouble. First her hands and feet, then she almost landed in jail, and now she’s been hit on the head and turned into this…

She was terrified that if she left, she would lose even this little simpleton.

“Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm…”

Zhao Shu gazed at her with tearful eyes for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth, turned, forced herself to release her hand, walked two steps, stopped, stood rigidly for a moment, and then quickly ran back to the door.

Chi Huan looked up blankly: “Is there something else?”

Zhao Shu clutched her heart and walked two steps forward: “Do you swear I’ll find you here when I come back? A whole, complete you?”

Chi Huan found the question a bit strange but didn’t dwell on it. She waved her hand: “Yes, yes. Go quickly.”

Zhao Shu wanted to say more but restrained herself. Wiping a tear, she turned and left.

They themselves didn’t realize it, but the scene—reminiscent of a poor mother sending off her son who was leaving home for university—certainly attracted attention.

Many passersby glanced over at the ward.

Chi Huan, carefree, calculated her assets, feeling that playing the villainous supporting character was actually worth it. Good food, good sleep, and finally becoming rich without any pain. Nice!

So what if she was the female lead’s stepping stone?

Putting it into perspective, this was like a summer job with a five-figure daily salary!

Where else could she find such a good deal?

Zhao Shu, afraid she would cause another scene, ran back as fast as she could, quickly bringing the doctor.

Chi Huan didn’t have time to ask any questions before she was wheeled away for a full brain examination routine.

She felt like she was on some kind of assembly line.

In the end, she even had a tube of blood drawn.

Even Rong Qing, who had just left, was urgently called back.

Chi Huan rolled up her sleeve, watching Zhao Shu carefully press the cotton swab onto the puncture site, utterly bewildered.

“Zhao Zhao, what is going on?”

Zhao Shu looked at her sympathetically, coaxing softly: “Does it still hurt? Shall I blow on it for you?”

She gently blew a puff of air, “Hoo-hoo, pain pain pain go away…”

Chi Huan: “…”

Results came quickly at the private hospital.

Not to mention that the Chi family had shares in the hospital.

Word spread that the Chi family heir arrived fine, but less than half a day later, she had gone mad.

A group of doctors who initially thought this was just a minor scratch on the head were all alarmed. From the neurosurgery department to the cardiology department, and even the respiratory department—even the hospital’s guard dog was kicked awake to gather around and figure things out.

A row of doctors with stellar résumés stood around Chi Huan’s bed with test results, queuing up.

Rong Qing rubbed her forehead: “Doctors, what are the results?”

The doctors looked at each other. Finally, the lead doctor represented the group to convey the results of the extensive examination to the patient’s family.

“We arranged a head CT, an MRI of the head, an EEG, transcranial Doppler ultrasound… and even a blood test for Miss Chi…”

“Yes, and?”

“Based on the brain scan results, we have temporarily found no pathology in Miss Chi’s head.”

Rong Qing said impatiently, “Then what is wrong with her?”

The doctor’s tone was hesitant: “…Based on the blood test results, Miss Chi is somewhat lacking in exercise and may… have some insufficient blood supply to the brain?”
