After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 13
Half an hour later, Chi Huan, who had obediently followed Zhao Lei back to the ward, successfully tricked the simple-minded bodyguard and lured Su Huanhuan into her room.
Inside the spacious ward, Su Huanhuan sat by the bed, looking at the person on the bed with complex emotions: “Why are you putting yourself through this?”
Chi Huan sat cross-legged, munching loudly on an apple, and sighed, her tone solemn: “…I had no choice.”
“You saw it yourself. My mother even locked me up just to break us apart.”
She spent ten minutes successfully implanting the image of a cruel, ruthless Great Demon King in Su Huanhuan’s mind, effectively establishing Rong Qing as the evil mother-in-law of a wealthy family.
Su Huanhuan, being predisposed to believe this, accepted the new narrative without any doubt.
She was full of worry: “So, are you two just going to break up like this?”
“That…” Chi Huan almost blurted out, “If we don’t break up, should we save it for the New Year?” but fortunately, she caught herself just in time. She quickly changed her tone, “Of course not!”
Su Huanhuan sighed in relief: “Then what are you going to do?”
What am I going to do? Of course, break up the relationship.
She goes her way to seek enlightenment, and I return to my Gao Village.
But she couldn’t say that, which made Chi Huan deeply frustrated.
Su Huanhuan suddenly remembered something, and her tone became harsh again: “Besides, you still haven’t settled the debt for using Xiaoyou as a stand-in before.”
She said gloomily: “…Do you know? I feel like I’m wearing a rabbit hat.”
Su Huanhuan didn’t understand.
Chi Huan said: “I’m a pure, unadulterated idiot.”
Su Huanhuan: “…”
Getting back to the main point, this matter still needed a solution. Chi Huan became serious: “In any case, I can’t go see Lu You now, and I can’t promise her anything, let alone a future…”
Su Huanhuan moved her lips to speak.
Chi Huan quickly preempted her: “So, it’s better if I don’t hold her back.”
As soon as she said this, it was as if a great weight had been lifted from her heart. Chi Huan smiled with relief.
She thought that she actually liked Lu You a little.
Not now, but when reading the book, she had already liked this self-reliant and strong girl.
Like a perpetually vibrant wild weed—no matter what setbacks she faced, she could always grow out of the mire again.
When Su Huanhuan saw her smile, she felt a pang of sadness for some reason, and her previous anger completely vanished.
Chi Huan said: “In short, don’t tell her.”
“Since you’ve put it that way, what else can I say?” Su Huanhuan sighed. “When you two first got together, I actually tried to persuade her… from her sophomore year until graduation, but she was obsessed.”
“Now it seems my judgment was still accurate. At least, the part about you being scum was right.”
She sighed and reached out to pat Chi Huan’s shoulder.
Chi Huan leaned back, avoiding her hand, and said expressionlessly: “Is that so?”
Su Huanhuan nodded.
“If, and I mean if,” Chi Huan said darkly, “I eventually end up with Lu You, you’ll have to sit at the dog’s table on our wedding day.”
Su Huanhuan laughed through her tears and left after saying goodbye.
Chi Huan lay down. Less than two minutes later, a head stealthily poked through the doorway. Thus, she was forced to sit up and receive another guest.
The person was none other than [You Have Chen’s Goodness], whom she had contacted using Su Huanhuan’s phone earlier.
Chen Chen, a police officer, entered the room acting like a burglar, looking left and right. Seeing no one, he opened the door and tiptoed in.
“Well, well? This look,” Chen Chen circled Chi Huan, clicking his tongue, “Quite a show!”
Chi Huan spat at him: “Go away!”
“What? I traveled across half the city just to see you after your one WeChat message, and this is your attitude?” Chen Chen hid something behind his back. “Then I won’t give you what you asked for.”
Chi Huan immediately relented: “I was wrong, bro!”
Chen Chen laughed, handed her the item, and casually ruffled her hair: “Jeez, you’re really hurt? You’ve had a very full life in the day since I last saw you, haven’t you?”
Chi Huan’s gaze was sorrowful: “Tell me about it.”
She had only been transmigrated for two days and already ended up in the hospital twice.
The first time wasn’t so bad; it was just a few scrapes. But the second time was serious. Being hit on the head was no joke; she nearly had her skull cracked open.
She tore open the box Chen Chen handed her, looked inside, and said with satisfaction: “Perfect!”
Chen Chen was smug: “Not bad, right? I ran to several markets to find it for you. I even used up three years of saved vacation time for this thing.”
“Awesome! Extra chicken leg!”
Chen Chen joked: “Thank you, President Chi, you’re generous!”
He stared at the item in Chi Huan’s hand, barely holding back his laughter: “Don’t mention it. Once you get used to looking at it, it’s kind of ugly-cute.”
“Who are you calling ugly?”
Chen Chen reached out and squeezed it. The soft, warm texture in his palm made him unable to hold back, and he burst into hysterical laughter.
Chi Huan looked at this human with an extremely low threshold for laughter with disdain. Just as she was about to continue fiddling with the item, Zhao Shu pushed the door open. Seeing Chen Chen, she was puzzled: “Officer Chen?”
She remembered him from when she picked Chi Huan up from the police station.
With an outsider present, Chen Chen instantly switched back to work mode, looking genuinely serious, and nodded forcefully at Zhao Shu: “Miss Zhao.”
Zhao Shu smiled politely, but muttered internally—this unruly master has caused trouble again after only being gone for a short while.
She wondered how serious it was this time.
If she could, she really wanted to hand Chi Huan directly over to Chen Chen—
“President Chi, I’m reluctant to part with you too, but the country has its laws and the family has its rules. The dignity of the law must not be challenged. Please reform thoroughly and strive for an early release. I will be waiting for you (while enjoying my million-dollar annual salary, relaxing with the air conditioning on at the company, free from the oppression of a boss)…”
But she couldn’t.
Sigh.
Zhao Shu considered subtly probing Chen Chen to see how to resolve the issue. Her gaze accidentally swept toward Chi Huan. Just as she was about to pull it back, she froze with a shock.
Lying by the bed was a gift bag, its opening torn open. The two people sitting extremely close together on the bed were holding a single item between them…
It was a muddy yellow color, coiled into a cylindrical shape, and wore an extremely vulgar grin.
Zhao Shu said numbly: “President Chi, you…”
Chi Huan quickly interjected: “My mom only said I couldn’t play on my phone, but she never said I couldn’t play with toys.”
“Yes, Chairwoman Rong didn’t say that, but…”
“No buts!” Chi Huan proudly held up the poop plushie: “I’ve already lost my phone. You won’t take away my honey too!”
As she spoke, she hugged the oddly colored, grotesque doll close, looking at Zhao Shu warily. “Woman, don’t test my bottom line again!”
Honey… Zhao Shu’s expression broke. After a long moment, she managed to squeeze out: “Whatever makes you happy.”
In those few words, she realized that Chen Chen hadn’t come to arrest Chi Huan.
—The plushie didn’t appear out of thin air. Zhao Lei wouldn’t buy such a mentally polluting thing. It could only have been brought by the suddenly visiting Officer Chen.
Although she didn’t know why the two people, who should be incompatible, suddenly had a relationship, letting Chen Chen make this trip to deliver such a horrifying doll to Chi Huan.
She suspected Chi Huan was trying to retaliate against her and had already gathered evidence.
She closed her eyes, adjusted her expression, and said: “Then you two continue your chat. Auntie Mei made dinner and sent it over. I’m going to warm it up.”
Chi Huan waved her hand: “Go on!”
As soon as the door closed, a loud burst of laughter erupted in the ward. Chen Chen held onto the bedside, his stomach hurting from laughing.
“How did she… cough… offend you? That you’d torment her with this thing?” He was laughing so hard his voice was cracking, his words coming out in broken pieces.
Chi Huan said: “How did she offend me? She’s helping my mom keep me under house arrest! That’s aiding and abetting evil!”
Chen Chen was more clear-headed and laughed, scolding: “It’s none of her business.”
Chi Huan knew it wasn’t Zhao Shu’s fault either. She shrugged and retrieved a mobile phone from the hideous, cracked-mouth plushie in her hand.
She insisted on having this item not only to pollute Zhao Shu’s eyes with its terrible appearance but, more importantly, to smuggle the phone in.
She doubted Zhao Shu would dare to check inside this thing!
“I put the SIM card in for you. I bought it randomly on the street. See if it works.”
Chen Chen leaned against the bedside like a casual boss.
Chi Huan turned on the phone, logged into WeChat, found [You Have Chen’s Goodness], and asked: “How much did it cost in total? I’ll transfer it to you.”
“The phone was three thousand seven hundred fifty-two dollars and thirty-five cents. The SIM card was fifty. Your toy was thirty-nine dollars and eighty-three cents. Let’s round it up to four thousand.”
Chi Huan paused while transferring the money and looked up at him, “Round it up?”
Chen Chen burst into laughter: “You’re so amusing!”
Chi Huan rolled her eyes, transferred the money, and cautiously hid the phone inside the poop plushie before Zhao Shu returned.
With the phone, she no longer had to worry about being unable to contact Lu You.
With the matter settled, she sighed in relief, her tone light: “You’re welcome. The rest is fatherly love.”
Chen Chen laughed and cursed her a couple of times, then stood up to leave: “Alright, you rest up. I’m going now. I took half a day off and feel restless. I’m going back to work.”
Chi Huan grabbed a towel and waved it without sincerity: “Goodbye~ Goodbye, my friend~”
“Goodbye~”
…
On the top floor of the Chi Group building, in the office opposite Chi Huan’s, Rong Qing yawned slowly, leaning back in her chair, and asked: “Is this all you found?”
“Chairwoman Rong, the Mu family member is abroad after all. Our people just got there, so… alas!”
The man wore large sunglasses, lounging on the guest sofa with his legs crossed, wiggling his toes idly.
Rong Qing pointed at the thin report and read out word-for-word: “‘Time: Probably the evening before yesterday. I drank a little, so I don’t remember clearly. A little Omega girl came looking for the target. Didn’t hear what she said, but then I saw the girl suddenly raise her head, and then…’”
The man, who was initially lazily slumped, suddenly sat up, his eyes shining as he slapped his thigh: “Hey! You should have seen it! The scene was spectacular! That girl was fierce. She pressed the Mu family girl and just started gnawing on her! Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
Rong Qing picked up the thin piece of paper, took a deep breath, and demanded through gritted teeth: “You call this thing a report?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong with it?” the man retorted. “Full of feeling, vividly detailed, with ups and downs in the plot…”
“Chi Sheng!” Rong Qing snapped coldly, “I entrusted this task to you. Is this how you carry it out?”
Chi Sheng, the second young master of the Chi family and Chi Huan’s biological uncle, was a notorious playboy in Rongcheng. He loved luxury cars, beautiful women, and all things expensive and impractical. He called himself the “Wavy Young Master of Rongcheng,” relying on the “wave” of life rather than oars to move forward.
Chi Sheng’s smile faded. His gesturing hand awkwardly stopped mid-air. He looked bewildered and wronged: “Did I do something wrong?”
Rong Qing had nothing to say to this wealthy playboy and waved her hand, telling him to get lost.
Chi Sheng was used to being carefree. As someone who had caused trouble since childhood, he didn’t take this small matter to heart.
He quickly regained his vitality, shrugging as he stood up from the sofa: “Big Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. I just wanted to help you out. I’ll just stay out of this matter, alright?”
Rong Qing said: “So you know you’re only making things worse.”
“Hehe,” Chi Sheng adjusted the sunglasses on his nose in what he thought was a dashing manner. “Well, you know…”
“It’s important to know one’s limits.”
