After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 20
Chi Huan: “Hahahahahahahahahahahaha…”
She laughed without reservation.
Given the opponent’s repeated hahaha-ing at her expense, she felt no guilt in mocking them back.
“That’s so miserable, hahahaha…”
Wu Tong also wanted to laugh, but seeing Mu Yi’s face, he ultimately didn’t dare to side with Chi Huan.
Mu Yi collected herself, quickly wrapped the girl behind her in her arms, and asked worriedly: “…Are you alright?”
The first two words Mu Yi spoke were too mumbled for Chi Huan to hear, but she didn’t much care to know the name of Mu Yi’s new lover.
Mu Zi, however, looked subtly at the two of them, particularly taking a second look at the girl’s lightning-blackened face.
After a moment, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
But he said nothing. He composed his expression and spoke indifferently: “Sis, let’s take this young lady to the hospital first.”
Mu Yi looked up at him, her gaze darkening slightly. She nodded, bent down, scooped the girl up, and turned to leave.
From start to finish, she did not spare Chi Huan even a single glance.
Chi Huan’s eyes were filled with shock and a hint of loss.
Wuwu, that’s how an Alpha does it—princess-carrying his wife single-handedly. And me… the thought makes me feel miserable!
It’s all “Chi Huan’s” fault for not exercising! If she doesn’t chase her wife to the crematorium, who will? She needs to chase her hard!
—Evidently, the person consumed by jealousy had forgotten that the current “Chi Huan” was herself, and the person who would be chasing their wife to the crematorium was also herself.
Wu Tong nudged her: “Your fiancée just princess-carried another woman, see…”
Chi Huan instantly became defensive: “So what? It’s just a princess carry! I can do that too! I can do it single-handedly!”
Wu Tong: “…”
Wu Tong turned to look at her. Chi Huan stared back at him with a look of defiance.
“I mean, don’t you want to do anything? Like fiercely denouncing this adulterous Alpha-Omega couple or something…” After saying this, Wu Tong knew he shouldn’t, but he couldn’t control his skeptical gaze, which drifted toward Chi Huan. “But… can you really lift her?”
“You are questioning an Alpha’s dignity!”
“I’m just being factual!” Wu Tong said. “If you don’t believe me, try it now. Look, isn’t there another Omega right here?”
“…”
They both simultaneously turned to look at Mu Zi.
“…” Mu Zi subtly took a step back. “You two talk. Don’t involve me. I’m going to greet the other guests.”
Idiot.
Mu Zi vanished, leaving behind shattered hearts, desolation, patches of scorched, desolate green grass, and one round, green apple.
Chi Huan had no interest in the feast. She picked up the apple and tossed it to Wu Tong: “Give this to your cousin later. Consider it my gift. I’m leaving now.”
“No way, you’re only giving my cousin an apple for her birthday?” Wu Tong finally noticed her grand gift and held the apple in shock.
“Just? One apple?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Of course not!” Chi Huan spoke with the demeanor of commanding an empire, pointing at the green apple. “Do you know where this apple is grown?”
“No,” Wu Tong shook his head, guessing, “Province X? Province S?”
Those two places were famous for their delicious apples due to their unique geographical locations.
“Do you know how far Province X is from here?”
Wu Tong shook his head again: “No.”
“Nearly four thousand kilometers!” Chi Huan gestured fiercely with four fingers. “Four thousand kilometers! Do you know how much shipping and travel costs it takes to cross those four thousand kilometers?”
Wu Tong began to understand, exclaiming: “Former Boss, you drove there yourself!”
His eyes on the apple completely changed.
It had successfully transformed from, “This thing costs three bucks for ten pounds, I can buy a basket,” to “A gold-plated apple.”
Chi Huan continued with a serious expression: “You are too young! Do you think only travel costs money?—Do you know how difficult it is to trek through the desert and grow an apple tree in the arid sand? Do you know how much capital and manpower must be invested in this?”
Wu Tong licked his lips, saying dryly: “No.”
Dear heavens, what a devoted lover my former boss is.
There are actually people in this world who would personally venture deep into the desert, investing countless time, effort, and money, just to use the day-night temperature difference to grow the sweetest apple for their crush!
I bow to you!
“You know nothing,” Chi Huan shook her head profoundly. “Yet you say it’s just an ordinary apple.”
“I was wrong QAQ!”
My dog eyes judged the fruit poorly!
Chi Huan nodded in satisfaction: “So, even if I only paid two dollars for it, you can’t look down on it. Do you understand?”
“Un…” Wu Tong nodded enthusiastically, then suddenly realized and almost knocked his own head off: “What?”
Chi Huan held up the apple: “Look at it…”
“Wait, wait, wait!” Wu Tong quickly shouted, stopping her. “So, you didn’t personally drive to Xinjiang, trek through the desert, and grow this with your own hands in countless sandpits?”
Chi Huan was perplexed: “When did I say I personally drove to Xinjiang, trekked through the desert, and grew this with my own hands in countless sandpits?”
Wu Tong was furious: “Then why did you talk about personally driving to Xinjiang, trekking through the desert, and growing it with your own hands?”
“Wasn’t that to let you know its value?” Chi Huan said self-righteously. “Do I absolutely have to personally drive to Xinjiang, trek through the desert, and grow it with my own hands?”
“You have absolutely no sincerity!” Wu Tong accused.
“What, it’s only valuable if I personally grow it? Doesn’t the labor of the fruit farmers count? I think your youthful ideology is seriously flawed!” Chi Huan was completely unfazed.
Wu Tong: “%¥¥#%=+!ˇ”
Chi Huan: “%#¥#= %!!!”
Mu Zi, standing by the wall, expressionlessly cleared his ears of all the nonsense: “Fucking idiots.”
Why did he ever think eavesdropping would lead to secrets? All he heard was a bunch of nonsense that the author used to pad the word count!
On the other side.
Mu Yi sat by the hospital bed, gazing at the girl on the bed who was bundled up like a mummy.
“You weren’t honest, were you?” she sighed. “Why do you always provoke Little Zi? Don’t you know his mouth…”
The girl coughed several times, finally catching her breath. She weakly and shakily raised a hand: “I, Chi Huan, hereby swear that in this life and the next, I will be the mortal enemy of Mu Zi and his jinx mouth!”
Mu Yi’s eyes darkened slightly, and she corrected her: “Not Chi Huan. It’s Mu Wan.”
The girl on the bed froze, pursed her lips, and lowered her eyes with a hint of loss.
Mu Yi saw her pain and quickly comforted her: “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. What is yours will ultimately be yours. No one can take it away!”
Chi Huan… The girl, now named Mu Wan, felt a stirring in her heart.
She should have been happy.
After all, her crush had chosen to stand by her side.
Even though she had lost her privileged birth and her original body, Mu Yi still firmly chose her.
But for some reason, a voice in her mind kept stopping her from speaking.
It was as if once she truly returned to the position that belonged to her, something extremely terrible would happen.
She whispered: “Never mind.”
Never mind. Actually, things are quite good right now.
Mu Yi always resented being an Omega and had gotten her wish to become an Alpha. And she…
When she was an Omega, she could legitimately stay by Mu Yi’s side. If she returned to being an Alpha, then she and Mu Yi…
However, she was too weak, and her voice dissipated into the air.
Mu Yi didn’t hear her.
And she couldn’t bring herself to repeat the words.
That was her stuff, her body, her life.
And in the place she couldn’t see, her mother, her relatives, everything she had… was being occupied by another person!
That person was using her identity, enjoying everything that originally belonged to her.
How could she accept this?
The heavy emotions added to the burden on her mind. Mu Wan was exhausted and unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Yi settled her down, turned, and walked out of the ward. Her assistant, who had been waiting, immediately followed her.
“I asked you to investigate Chi Huan,” Mu Yi felt an awkwardness whenever she said the name, likely knowing the person wasn’t the real “Chi Huan.” “Do you have any results?”
“Yes, President Mu,” the assistant replied quietly. “We found that the Chi family’s President Chi was quite close to an Omega named Lu You recently.”
“How close?” Mu Yi asked.
“It looked like… she was serious, even going so far as to defy Chairwoman Rong, who is famously known for her firm hand in the Chi family.” The assistant spoke cautiously, knowing the relationship between Chi Huan and Mu Yi.
“Was serious… when did they meet?”
“…They were college classmates,” the assistant tried to say subtly.
Mu Yi suddenly stopped walking. The assistant looked down, feeling the surrounding temperature constantly drop.
“College, huh…” Mu Yi asked softly. “And when did they hook up? Within the last month?”
She hoped it was within the last month.
The assistant spoke with difficulty: “President Mu, President Chi and that person broke up… a month ago. I heard the breakup was very messy.”
They didn’t just get together a month ago. They had been together for several years and only recently broke up.
Oh, this sudden cuckoldry. I wonder if President Mu can handle it.
Mu Yi had no time to think about this. Her gaze was slightly unfocused. For some reason, she suddenly recalled years ago…
When she was leaving.
The girl who chased after her, blocking her at the security gate, looked at her with red eyes and said—
“If you leave, I’ll find a substitute. Someone who looks like you, acts like you, has similar hobbies…”
Someone who looks like her… her stand-in?
It was as if ten thousand tons of seawater suddenly poured into her mind. Her consciousness floated outside the world, her ears filled with vague, chaotic shouts…
“President Mu,” the assistant worried, “Are you alright?”
“Do you have a picture of her?” Mu Yi heard herself speak, her voice so hollow she didn’t recognize it.
“Who?”
“That Omega…” Mu Yi asked. “You said her name was Lu You?”
“Yes, her name is Lu You,” the assistant confirmed. “Did you want to see a picture of her?”
“Yes—”
…
After the battle of the fierce Alphas and the competition for the Golden Apple (which was actually the Green Apple), the two decided to call a truce.
Wu Tong kept feeling like he had forgotten something. He held his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly realized: “Holy cow!”
Chi Huan was startled by him: “What is it?”
“Didn’t you, former boss, send the former boss’s wife matsutake porridge, caviar tea-braised eggs, and ginseng fried dough sticks yesterday?” Wu Tong looked at her with the gaze of someone who had discovered a Scumbag Alpha. “Turns out you have a fiancée!”
Chi Huan scoffed mercilessly: “So what? Does the state only allow officials to set fires while forbidding common people from lighting lamps? Your cousin left the country without a word, and comes back with a cherished wife in her arms. Did she explain anything to me? Did I say anything?”
She didn’t care about Mu Yi, but the original Chi Huan definitely did. In both the initial and second versions of the plot, Chi Huan loved Mu Yi for a large part of the book.
Mu Yi’s actions clearly showed she didn’t care for “Chi Huan” at all.
“Yes, you did,” Wu Tong affirmed with a nod. “Wasn’t that what you just said?”
Chi Huan: “…That doesn’t count.”
Seeing Wu Tong about to dig into the memory archives again to check if she had ever spoken ill of Mu Yi, Chi Huan quickly interrupted: “Stop thinking about it. My cousin and I have what you call ‘Scumbag Alpha vs. Scumbag Omega.’ No one should criticize the other!”
Wu Tong: “Oh.”
He was about to say more when Chi Huan’s phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw a friend request.
The sender had written the note: “Mu Yi.”
Chi Huan didn’t know what Mu Yi wanted. She initially intended to decline, but reason compelled her to accept.
The System automatically prompted that the person had been added as a friend. Chi Huan looked at the system message, holding her phone warily.
Soon, the other side sent a picture.
The picture loaded quickly. When Chi Huan saw it, she felt all the blood in her body freeze instantly.
—It was a photo of Lu You’s back, carrying a water bottle and walking out of a hospital room.
[Mu Yi]: Are you scared?
—Scared that she’ll find out you’re an impostor?
