After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 12

Chi Huan stiffly turned her head, glanced at Su Huanhuan, and was met with Su Huanhuan’s shocked gaze.

The mind of a prestigious university student was truly exceptional; she didn’t study Chinese for nothing.

Zhao Lei’s words were clear enough, and Su Huanhuan instantly connected the dots.

“You… originally intended to have your secretary secretly help Xiaoyou?”

Chi Huan was expressionless: “That’s not what happened. My original words were to have Zhao Shu eliminate Zhao Lei.”

The Chi family garden is quite large. It should be big enough to bury him.

Su Huanhuan was completely unaffected by her comment, her thoughts gradually becoming clear.

“But! You were unfortunately discovered by your mother, so she intercepted you?”

She automatically filled in the details of the plot. Her eyes were already red, and now they were completely soaked.

“And when you learned of your mother’s actions, in order to prevent Lu You from suffering any more harm from your family, you forced yourself to suppress the pain, deciding to go along with the plan to make Xiaoyou give up hope?”

Chi Huan: “…………”

This is getting increasingly ridiculous.

Su Huanhuan’s face was full of remorse: “I misunderstood you!”

“It turns out you love Xiaoyou! You’re even willing to defy your mother’s wishes, give up your true love, and endure the pain of separating from your beloved, all just to protect Xiaoyou!”

Chi Huan: “………………”

Please, stop talking.

Su Huanhuan’s eyes shone with a moving light. She clasped her hands to her chest: “Breaking through secular views, breaking through the bonds of blood relationship… what a moving love story!”

Chi Huan closed her eyes in despair.

Damn it, a whole day’s work ruined.

Zhao Lei’s face screamed: See? I told you. You just can’t give up.

On one side was Zhao Lei, whose brain couldn’t turn a corner, and on the other was Su Huanhuan, who had turned too many corners and completely lost herself in the process.

Chi Huan, stuck between them, felt a rare sense of shared misery with the chicken breast sandwiched inside a sandwich.

Save me! Help! SOS!

I need outside assistance!

There was no outside assistance. The System, caught up in its own angst, played dead and made no sound, nor did any divine intervention descend to rescue the poor Chi Huan.

The situation had plummeted to a critical edge. Chi Huan hesitated for a moment, then finally made up her mind!

Lu You absolutely cannot know the truth.

…Especially not from Su Huanhuan’s mouth! Her ability to spread rumors is terrifying!

She couldn’t sit and wait for Su Huanhuan to talk nonsense in front of Lu You. She had to strike first!

Yes!

My fate is in my own hands, not heaven’s!

Seizing the instant Zhao Lei let down his guard, Chi Huan suddenly slid out of the stairwell and charged toward the outer corridor!

Hehe, I can run. Didn’t expect that, did you?

Chi Huan was too triumphant, causing her to get carried away—and mainly forgetting her rock-bottom luck value.

Just as she rushed to the corridor turn, a baby stroller, which hadn’t been there a moment ago, gently slid out. The sun canopy completely obscured the basket.

From Chi Huan’s angle, she couldn’t see what was inside the basket at all.

If there’s a child on it, she can’t just barge into it.

Brakes! Brakes!

She desperately tried to stop herself.

However, it was no use. By the time she saw the stroller, she was only two or three meters away from it. Chi Huan flailed desperately but ultimately could only watch herself trip over and crash onto the stroller.

Fortunately, there was no child in the stroller.

Before Chi Huan could sigh in relief, the stroller carried her forward, sliding rapidly.

Wait!

What the hell?

The stroller, unbalanced by the collision, slid forward quickly, carrying her straight toward the stairwell exit.

It was like a dedicated takeout rider, enduring wind and rain (carrying a heavy load), transporting the customer (Zhao Lei)’s ordered food (Chi Huan) directly into the customer’s hands.

To her utter despair, Zhao Lei, who was chasing her from the stairwell, stopped dead. A slender figure appeared behind him.

Her black hair flowed like a waterfall, soft as cotton, and her fair face held a touch of bewilderment.

Lu You had finished packing and was preparing to transfer her grandmother to another hospital. However, Su Huanhuan, who volunteered to help, disappeared after stepping out. Lu You had gone out to look for her, but instead, saw a baby stroller hurtling straight toward her.

“Get out of the way!!”

Lu You looked up in confusion, only to see a baby stroller rushing straight at her.

Before she could react, the person on the stroller twisted twice like a flopping fish. The stroller buckled under the weight and immediately fell apart, collapsing to one side.

Chi Huan had intended to make an entrance with a cool, single-knee-down pose, but her heavily scarred foot suddenly failed her.

Her leg went weak the moment her foot touched the ground.

With a paji, she knelt straight down in front of Lu You.

—Adopting a perfectly standard position for begging forgiveness.

“System, don’t you think my bad luck is getting overly deliberate?”

Chi Huan fiercely poked the System in her mind.

“This is too much! Do you know how hard I ran? I ran down an entire street despite the severe pain in my foot! And you sent me right back!”

The System said faintly: 【That’s just how people with bad luck are. Host, you’ll get used to it.】

It wanted to say that this was nothing.

I haven’t even told you about your real bad luck yet.

Your former white moonlight, your future love rival, probably knows you are wearing a disguise by now. If she decides to expose your identity, that will be the real hellscape.

The corridor fell silent.

Chi Huan said awkwardly: “Well, actually, I…”

Su Huanhuan, who had likely constructed another elaborate scenario in her mind, was deeply moved. She stepped forward to help Chi Huan up: “No, it’s not your fault! You don’t have to blame yourself like this!”

“No self-blame, no self-blame…”

Chi Huan stole a glance at Lu You, who stood silently beside her, pursing her lips. Chi Huan couldn’t tell what she was thinking and could only reassure herself first.

Su Huanhuan probably hasn’t had time to tell Lu You anything yet.

Zhao Lei, completely lacking in situational awareness, wondered aloud: “Miss, did you… dislike the wheelchair the family prepared, so you went looking for a new one yourself?”

Did she need to run so fast just to find a new wheelchair?

He almost thought Chi Huan was trying to run away!

Zhao Lei smiled guilelessly: “If Miss likes this style, just tell me! I’ll go find one for you. Do you want a pink bow model or a white lace model? Young girls usually like pink more…”

Chi Huan covered her face: “I want the mute Zhao Lei model. Is that possible?”

“I haven’t heard of that model. Oh—Miss, do you want a custom order?” Zhao Lei nodded in sudden realization.

“How about this, let’s make a deal,” Chi Huan said. “If you stay quiet for ten minutes, I’ll go back with you. Deal?”

Zhao Lei thought about it with his limited brain capacity, nodded, and stepped aside.

After all, Chi Huan is here now and can’t run away.

Guest number one is settled. Now for guest number two.

Chi Huan turned to Su Huanhuan: “I want to say a few words to Xiaoyou alone. Is that okay?”

Since it was a matter between the couple, Su Huanhuan finally nodded.

But as she stepped away, she cautioned anxiously: “Don’t be stubbornly evasive! You need to talk things out!”

“As long as you love each other, there’s no hurdle you can’t cross!”

Chi Huan was speechless. She wanted to say: What does this have to do with love? You are the hurdle I can’t cross!

Lu You remained silent for a long time, then finally spoke: “Do you need something?”

Her expression was weary. She spoke with her head slightly tilted, seemingly unwilling to look at Chi Huan again.

As Chi Huan observed her, she saw that Lu You’s already fair skin was pathologically pale. Her eyes were shadowed with dark circles, clearly having not slept all night. Unwiped tear tracks still stained her small, delicate jawline, which moved Chi Huan’s heart.

Ultimately, Lu You was just a recent university graduate. Suffering such consecutive blows was truly too cruel.

Especially since… she had no one to rely on.

The only person who could offer help was her university roommate, but a roommate is ultimately an outsider. She could lend a hand, but not much more.

Lu You had to grit her teeth and shoulder the burden alone, managing everything while enduring the pain of her lover’s betrayal and her relative’s severe illness.

While originally…

In the original plot, although “Chi Huan” exposed her true intentions, Mu Yi had not yet returned to the country. She didn’t want to break up with Lu You at that critical time.

So, when Lu You ran into difficulties, she used the grandmother’s illness as leverage, proposing the condition of keeping Lu You as a sugar baby.

For Lu You, this was undoubtedly an insult, but objectively, it was also helping her.

At least, Lu You wouldn’t be as helpless as she was now…

Chi Huan realized how cruel she had been and instinctively recoiled, unable to look at Lu You.

“Nothing… I was just passing by…”

She finally forced herself to harden her heart.

Lu You had no interest in caring why she was there. She took out a bank card from her pocket, squatted down, and placed the card next to Chi Huan’s hand.

“This is the one million you gave me. It’s all in here. The password is six ones. You can check it.”

Chi Huan immediately tried to push it back: “You don’t need to return it. I lied to you for so long; consider it compensation…”

“I don’t want it!” Lu You’s voice suddenly became sharp. Chi Huan looked up in surprise, seeing her eyes turn red, tears rolling in her eyes, but she firmly held them back. “I don’t want anything from you!”

Chi Huan couldn’t help but say: “Your grandmother…”

“I can afford to take care of my grandmother! I can afford it!”

“That’s not what I meant…”

“Chi Huan, your mother looks down on me, and do you look down on me too? I have a job. My parents didn’t have much schooling, but we are a family with working hands and feet. We can support ourselves. We can take Grandma to the doctor. We don’t need your charity!”

Lu You’s emotions finally spun out of control. She gritted her teeth, abruptly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and turned her head, unwilling to let Chi Huan see her moment of shame.

Chi Huan opened her mouth, but gave up on any further pale excuses. She was silent for a moment, then stood up from the floor.

“Other people keep a sugar baby, and when they break up, they give them houses and cars. I kept you, and you won’t even take one million. Isn’t that making me look bad? How am I supposed to face people?”

“Slap!”

Lu You trembled as she slapped Chi Huan, looking at her in disbelief.

“Chi Huan, who are you degrading?”

The System was also worried: 【Host, your Scumbag Alpha progress is advancing too quickly. How about we just…】

Chi Huan ignored it: “You, who else? Besides, who did I degrade? Wasn’t I just telling the truth?”

Go, Lu You. Leave Chi Huan. Don’t look back.

Lu You retreated two steps. Finally accepting the facts, she nodded.

“Chi Huan, I’m saying this one last time: we broke up peacefully. No one was keeping anyone. From now on, please respect yourself. I don’t want to see you again.”

Lu You’s figure disappeared at the end of the corridor. Su Huanhuan shot out like her backside was on fire.

“Why was Xiaoyou crying? Did you say something awful again?”

Chi Huan stood woodenly in place. She was shaken several times before she came to her senses: “Stop shaking me, for goodness sake, I’m going to throw up!”

Su Huanhuan was exasperated: “I hate Alphas who don’t know how to speak the most! Can’t you just talk properly? If you’re not silent, you’re saying the opposite of what you mean! You have to say love out loud! Don’t you know that??”

Chi Huan said with difficulty: “I know, I know.”

Su Huanhuan glared: “If you know, why aren’t you chasing her? Go and coax Xiaoyou back!”

“Lend me your phone.”

Su Huanhuan didn’t know why she needed her phone at this moment, but seeing her serious expression, she handed it over.

Then, she watched Chi Huan log into an unfamiliar WeChat account on her phone, send a message to a user named [You Have Chen’s Goodness], and then click open a familiar user chat box.

In it, she typed—

Good afternoon, everyone~

Starting today, our little stall is open for free meal tickets~

There are five kinds of spiciness in the world: non-spicy, mildly spicy, medium spicy, extra spicy, and tearing apart that Scumbag Alpha spicy with your sister while eating skewers~

Hurry and place your order~ [Cat wink~]

Su Huanhuan was dumbfounded. Chi Huan felt refreshed.

It’s impossible to stop being a Scumbag Alpha, but she still has to be coaxed!

She finally understood: luck was just an excuse. The System only wanted to send her in front of Lu You to embarrass her!

She absolutely would not give the System an excuse to send her back again!

Refusing infinite nested tasks is everyone’s responsibility!
