After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 19
Chi Huan took two seconds to process the situation.
Rong Qing probably thought she had been kidnapped.
Emmmmm…
Chi Huan’s mind quickly shifted. Isn’t this a highway to wealth and earning pocket money?
She immediately cleared her throat, forcing her voice to be extremely rough, like a spy making contact: “One slap!”
Rong Qing pondered: “Five?”
“Five million, not a cent less,” Chi Huan threatened fiercely. “Think carefully. This is the Chi family’s daughter, your own daughter. Isn’t she worth five million?”
“No,” Rong Qing said flatly.
Chi Huan was stunned.
She’s about to tear up the ransom, and Rong Qing isn’t willing to pay even five million?
I knew Rong Qing’s attitude was strange all along! No one is that cold to their own daughter!
Could it be! Chi Huan really isn’t her biological daughter?
“I thought you were going to ask for five hundred million,” Rong Qing said. “Wait. I’ll transfer ten million to you in a moment.”
The conversation had turned an unexpected corner, and the surprise was too sudden.
Chi Huan felt something was wrong but couldn’t place it. She asked weakly: “I haven’t even threatened you yet… Wait, didn’t I ask for five million?”
Why did she double it? Was Rong Qing that easy to talk to?
Rong Qing said: “Five million is your pocket money. The rest is for buying a gift.”
“Huh?” A gift?
“Mu Yi’s birthday party is tomorrow night. Didn’t you know?” Rong Qing countered. “And you still hope to win her back?”
Chi Huan instinctively wanted to object—who wants to chase Mu Yi?—but she managed to stop herself just in time.
“I can’t leave here. You go with your uncle,” Rong Qing paused strangely, seemingly contemplating something. After a moment, she sighed and murmured, “Forget it. Go by yourself.”
In ordinary families, when a junior follows a senior to visit friends, the senior usually instructs the junior to listen to them, and the senior watches over the junior. In some peculiar cases, where the junior is more mature than the senior, the junior takes care of the senior and the senior listens to the junior.
But these two in her family…
It was heartbreaking to say, but in terms of “immaturity,” she genuinely couldn’t tell who was worse.
Chi Huan: “…Mom, you recognized me?”
Rong Qing sighed: “If you continued with your delusion, I might not have recognized you, but if you act foolishly, it’s very easy to recognize you. After all, there aren’t many people as stupid as you.”
Chi Huan: “Wuwuwu.”
“Stop whining. Remember to buy a gift,” Rong Qing instructed. “Just don’t pull that nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine roses thing again. It’s too vulgar.”
Chi Huan, who had planned to be vulgar to annoy Mu Yi: “Understood.”
She asked again: “What should I buy? I don’t know how to choose. How about letting Little Zhao buy it? She has good taste.”
“Are you chasing your wife, or is Little Zhao chasing your wife?” Rong Qing countered.
Chi Huan reluctantly admitted: “I am.”
“Then use your own brain.”
“Okay.”
You asked for it.
So Chi Huan fiercely used her brain. The next day, she carried a beautifully wrapped gift to the “White Moonlight’s” birthday celebration.
The moment she stepped out of the car, Chi Huan was utterly shocked.
She wasn’t shocked by the endless stream of luxury cars costing seven figures and up, nor by the guests’ outfits adorned with at least two pounds of diamonds, gems, and pearls, nor by the Mu family’s estate used for the venue, which was about ten football fields in size…
But by…
Sensing no one was looking, she grabbed a person and pulled him into a corner.
It was a delicate-looking Beta young man.
“No, no, no, no!” The youth whispered tearfully, clutching his chest, his eyes tightly shut, an expression of fierce resistance. “Wuwuwuwu…”
“Wuwu your sister!” Chi Huan slapped his arm. “What are you doing here?”
Wu Tong softly wiped his tears, clutching the corner of his clothing like a submissive wife and replied: “Came to attend the funeral feast.”
“Attend your sister’s funeral!” Chi Huan felt her worldview was shattered.
“Can’t eat my sister,” Wu Tong said. “Eating her would truly turn this into a funeral feast.”
“…” Chi Huan said. “Who is your sister?”
“Mu Yi, my cousin,” Wu Tong said self-righteously. “As her cousin, what’s wrong with me attending a feast? But why are you here, former boss?”
“You’re Mu Yi’s cousin? Then why were you running takeout?”
That was Mu Yi! Mu Yi, whose birthday party spanned ten football fields! Her extended family couldn’t possibly be struggling that much, could they?
“Life forced me to,” Wu Tong sighed. “Some little brat told my dad on me, and he froze my card. I had no choice but to go out and work to maintain my living standards.”
A shared plight! Chi Huan’s gaze held three parts less suspicion and three parts more genuine sympathy.
“By the way, Boss, why did you come? Did you also run out of money and come to crash the feast?”
Chi Huan mimicked his tone: “Mu Yi is my fiancée. What’s wrong with me attending a feast?”
“!!!” Wu Tong was shocked. “You’re her idiotic fiancé Alpha? But aren’t you named Liu?”
Chi Huan grabbed the main point: “Idiotic?”
Wu Tong immediately shifted the blame: “It’s not my fault. Mu Zi said it.”
Fine, Mu Zi, is it? Even if I don’t know you yet, my Chairwoman Rong will remember you.
Chi Huan ground her teeth.
“Wait a minute,” Wu Tong, the blind man, spotted another key detail. “You are my cousin’s fiancé Alpha, but why didn’t you react at all?”
“React to what?”
“To yesterday, when I delivered the fried chicken, didn’t you see a cake?”
Chi Huan vaguely remembered it.
At the time, she had imagined a whole list of black-market workshop news, but it turned out the guy in front of her just hated couples.
Hahaha, poor single dogs. Wait, what was that couple’s name again? Mu Yi and ch? What an idiotic couple, hah…
Click! Chi Huan’s paralyzed brain finally had its gears engaged.
Wu Tong looked at her suspiciously: “You seemed completely unreactive when you saw someone bought your Omega a cake to confess their love.”
Chi Huan had no time to deal with him. She clutched her head, desperately racking her brain.
The things she had forgotten, ignored, and overlooked… it was more than just one thing!
Chi Huan’s eyes suddenly widened in horror.
She remembered discussing with the System… Mu Yi seemed to have seen through her disguise!
What were the consequences the System mentioned… It seemed it hadn’t had time to tell her before she led it off-topic and drove it crazy…
Chi Huan: “…” Wuwu, she messed up!
No, she can’t stay here!
Chi Huan turned to run, but Wu Tong, who didn’t understand what was happening, grabbed her arm: “Hey, where are you going? The feast is about to start. If you leave now, you’ll miss the…”
“I can’t!” Chi Huan struggled. “I suddenly remembered I left my chopsticks at home! I can’t eat the feast! Maybe another day!”
Wu Tong: “Holy cow, you’re so particular? You have to bring your own chopsticks?”
“Yes, so hurry up and let go! Don’t try to force me to stay! A forced relationship won’t be sweet!”
“Oh, okay.” Wu Tong easily let go.
Chi Huan hadn’t expected him to be so unconventional. She couldn’t stop her forward momentum and fell to the ground with a paji.
To her misfortune, she fell right in front of Mu Yi, who was walking toward the commotion.
The small box she was carrying slipped from her grasp and flew out, rolling a few times before stopping in front of Mu Yi’s dazzling diamond-studded crystal high-heeled sandals.
Clatter! The box opened.
A big, round green apple rolled out.
The green apple rolled forward and nudged Mu Yi’s toes in a fawning manner.
Mu Yi: “?”
Chi Huan: “…”
Social death. Nothing more.
The girl walking behind Mu Yi couldn’t hold back and let out a chuckle. She quickly covered her mouth, her big, clear eyes observing Chi Huan, full of laughter.
Chi Huan struggled to look up.
The girl met her gaze, letting her eyes skim over Chi Huan’s undignified sprawl. She gasped, her shoulders shaking, and she finally burst out: “Hahahahahahaha…”
Mu Yi gave her an exasperated look, subtly pursed her lips, and nudged Wu Tong: “What are you staring at? Help her up.”
Wu Tong was stimulated by the triangular-relationship-like posture and was incoherent: “Why should I help her? Let me keep staring.”
Mu Yi: “…”
Wu Tong quickly came to his senses. Enduring his cousin’s murderous glare, he helped Chi Huan up: “Get up, hurry up, get up.”
He whispered in her ear: “The way my cousin looked just now, I almost thought I’d be attending your funeral feast tomorrow. That would be awesome… Ahem, no, I really don’t want to attend a funeral feast!”
Chi Huan thought: Pah, I bet you do!
“Well, well, who do we have here?” A clear, youthful voice cut into the conversation.
Chi Huan rubbed her backside and turned around. Oh, a beautiful youth, and a somewhat familiar one.
The youth had chestnut curly hair, looking as delicate as a porcelain doll. The corners of his full, rosy lips curled into a gentle smile, carrying the mischievous playfulness unique to a teenage boy.
He stared at Chi Huan and slowly raised an eyebrow: “Isn’t this the Auntie who bumped into me at the hospital? What are you doing at my house?”
Chi Huan: “…You’re the Auntie!”
The youth scanned her and said concisely: “I’m fourteen.”
Fourteen… Chi Huan, who was twenty-two but transmigrated into a twenty-four-year-old’s body, felt like crying.
Mu Yi, who was also twenty-four, gave him a hostile look. The girl beside her was so angry she hiccuped.
Wu Tong, twenty-five, immediately jumped up: “Who are you being passive-aggressive to?”
Mu Zi spread his hands innocently: “Sorry, the area of attack was a bit wide. I apologize.”
“That’s more like it!” Chi Huan snorted through her nose.
“Hello again, Grandma,” Mu Zi dragged out his words. “Do you remember who I am?”
Grandma?!
Chi Huan: “Who are you?”
What little brat is so ill-mannered? If you’re so brave, tell me your name, and I’ll report you to your family…
Mu Yi: “This is my younger brother, Mu Zi.”
Chi Huan: “…”
Someone finally realized, after the fact, that she was accidentally exposing herself.
“Auntie Chi forgot me after only three short months,” Mu Zi said. “But I can’t forget Auntie Chi.”
Chi Huan: “?”
Mu Zi said: “I thought about you day and night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep because I missed you so much.”
Chi Huan: “!!”
The way he said that… Did the original “Chi Huan” have some kind of unspeakable relationship with this cheeky brat?
Wait!
Chi Huan looked at Mu Yi, then at Mu Zi.
If she remembered correctly, “Chi Huan” and Mu Yi were childhood sweethearts, very ambiguous.
So… Did “Chi Huan” simultaneously mess around with the siblings?!
OMG!
This is too stimulating!
But now the problem was: How to handle this hellscape? This kid isn’t even an adult! Did “Chi Huan” commit any illegal acts?!
She looked around.
Wu Tong instinctively took a step back, looking at her as if she were a beast.
The girl beside Mu Yi’s eyes flashed with guilt.
Mu Yi… Mu Yi calmly spoke, breaking the deadly silence: “Xiaohuan just fooled you into studying medicine. Don’t make it sound so strange.”
“Just?” Mu Zi raised an eyebrow. “Sis, haven’t you heard a saying?”
“—Suggesting someone study medicine is inviting a strike of lightning!”
Crack!
Boom!
The moment the words fell, a muffled peal of thunder was perfectly timed, followed by lightning rolling across the sky.
“Ah!!!”
The scream didn’t come from Chi Huan, but from the girl standing behind Mu Yi.
Chi Huan, whose back was to her, was unprepared. The shriek made her legs weak. She turned to see who was so cowardly.
It was just thunder; she was actually scared enough to scream.
Upon seeing her—
The girl’s entire body shook. Every strand of her beautiful hair stood on end. Her jade-white face was completely blackened.
Her mouth hung open, and a wisp of smoke slowly drifted out.
As if her soul had been struck by lightning.
