After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 6
Lu You’s emotions had cooled down after the brief outburst. She wiped her tears and pushed Chi Huan away.
“Thank you for coming all this way late at night…”
The betrayal of her lover and the serious illness of her relative crushed the young woman in an instant.
But she wasn’t ready to let herself sink like this.
“I will pay back the money you spent tonight. I was too emotional earlier, and I shouldn’t have bothered you in the middle of the night. I apologize.”
Chi Huan pursed her lips, “You are my girlfriend. Everything I do for you is what I should do. You don’t need to thank me.”
“Not anymore,” Lu You said softly. “Chi Huan, let’s break up.”
“Xiaoyou, are you kidding me?” Chi Huan’s voice sank. “I don’t like this joke.”
“I’m not kidding. I heard everything you said,” Lu You’s eyes were empty and desolate. “Chi Huan, what exactly do you take me for?”
“A souvenir? Or a substitute?”
Chi Huan said irritably, “What’s the point of saying all this? Haven’t I been good to you? Do you have to cause trouble for no reason?”
“Cause trouble for no reason,” Lu You gave a bitter laugh. “Just take it as me causing trouble for no reason. I’m tired. I don’t want to play this game with you anymore.”
She turned her body, no longer looking at Chi Huan. “You can go. I’ll stay here and keep Grandma company.”
Chi Huan sat still for a while, acting out the full extent of her impotent rage. She turned her wheelchair, intending to leave, when the System quickly spoke: 【Host! You missed a line!!】
“Missed what?”
The System reminded her: 【The money!! You forgot to mention the money!!】
Oh, right, she had forgotten about that.
How could a CEO breakup scene be complete without the classic severance payment?
Chi Huan paused her wheelchair, laboriously pulled out a card from her pocket, and placed it next to Lu You’s hand.
“I won’t take your words seriously today. You can think about it carefully. This is for your grandmother’s medical expenses for the time being. Take it first.”
Lu You’s eyes snapped open, filled with anger: “I don’t want it! Chi Huan! I am not your canary! And I am certainly not your substitute lover! You giving me money…”
Chi Huan waved her hand: “Take it if I give it to you. A mere few million is well within my means.”
With that, she persuaded her with a deep tone: “Your grandmother’s illness is not something you can use to throw a tantrum over, do you understand?”
Using both carrots and sticks. Hitting her with a stick and then giving her a sweet date. Forcing the frail little Omega to stay by her side with money. Can’t be more Scumbag than this!
Chi Huan felt this segment of the plot deserved full marks, but the System’s notification was slow to arrive.
She was puzzled. In just two seconds, a card was shoved back into her hand. From the feel of it, it should have been the one she had given Lu You.
Chi Huan didn’t have time to think about the System and quickly tried to put it back into Lu You’s hand: “You take it…!”
Lu You persistently shoved it back.
In the push and shove, Chi Huan looked down and was face-to-face with her own large headshot.
Chi Huan: “…”
Lu You said sincerely: “I really don’t need it. You should put your ID card away properly. It will be very troublesome if you lose it.”
Chi Huan expressionlessly put away her ID card.
She couldn’t last another day with this negative luck value!
Zhao Shu couldn’t bear to watch, covering her mouth and whispering a reminder: “President Chi, WeChat transfer.”
What era is this? Is the practice of tossing a bank card around still in fashion?
Zhao Shu was disappointed in her for not knowing better.
Chi Huan insisted: “Do I need you to remind me? Don’t I remember?”
Zhao Shu took two steps back and said very loudly: “Oh, of course, I know you remember the WeChat transfer. I absolutely don’t need to remind you.”
Chi Huan: “…”
It wasn’t the first time she suspected it.
Is Zhao Shu really her secretary?
Lu You looked up, frowning and repeating: “Don’t…”
Chi Huan gave a cold humph. President Chi has already lost her face, and her attempt to show off failed. What else is there to fear?
Just become completely detached, okay!
…In any case, I don’t care if you want it or not. Does our CEO talk sense with you?
Lu You still had a chance to return a WeChat transfer. Chi Huan kept a careful mind, turned her back, hid from Lu You’s sight, and carefully clicked open Alipay.
The domineering CEO, angrily throwing down a million.
Throw it down and block her!
Without waiting for Lu You to react, Chi Huan, feeling mentally and physically refreshed, walked… was pushed out of the hospital by Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu drove the car over, opened the door, and carried her inside.
Chi Huan tried to struggle: “Can’t we use a more imposing and dignified posture?”
Zhao Shu smiled sweetly: “We cannot, President Chi.”
Chi Huan: QAQ My face!! My Majesty’s face!!
The completely disgraced CEO was whisked back to the old mansion by her little secretary, and because she didn’t know the way, Chi Huan only realized something was wrong when they reached the front door.
She sought confirmation from Zhao Shu: “Is this really Hanshan Zhuancui?”
Zhao Shu was surprised: “Of course not. This is the old mansion.”
“Why am I here?”
Zhao Shu calmly said: “Oh, it’s like this. When I picked you up, I received a message from the Madam. She’s coming back tonight and wanted to gather with you.”
Chi Huan collapsed: “Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
In this state, bandaged up like a mummy, can she meet her parents?
Besides, she has only been “Chi Huan” for one day. What if she is exposed when she meets “Chi Huan’s” mother?
These rich people are terrifying!! Will they hire a Taoist priest to deal with her?
Or contact the National Academy of Sciences and send her in for slicing and research?
The more Chi Huan thought about it, the more frightened she became. She laboriously turned her wheelchair, attempting to escape.
Zhao Shu fixed her in place with one foot and smiled gently and kindly: “Of course, I was afraid you’d run away halfway.”
Chi Huan: “…”
“You are my superior, after all. It’s difficult for me to refuse your demands. If you had forced me to turn back, I wouldn’t have been able to explain myself to the Madam.”
Chi Huan: “So you just didn’t tell me?”
Zhao Shu nodded: “Yes.”
Chi Huan was distraught: “You treat your boss like this; aren’t you afraid of losing your job?”
Zhao Shu said: “Of course I am, but you are not my boss.”
There is a slight difference between a superior and a boss.
Chi Huan was speechless: “I concede! You’re ruthless!”
Zhao Shu modestly indicated that she was over-flattered, that this was just what a gold-star secretary should do.
No matter how much Chi Huan struggled, five minutes later, she was pushed in front of the carved solid wood door.
“Who is it?” The kind-faced Old Auntie opened the door. When she saw Chi Huan, her face first brightened, then she quickly exclaimed, “Xiaohuan is back? What happened to you? Why are you so badly hurt?”
Zhao Shu said: “Auntie Mei, please let us in first.”
“Oh, oh, alright. You two come in first,” Auntie Mei moved aside, quietly advising, “The Madam came back half an hour ago and has been waiting for you in the living room. She hasn’t even eaten dinner yet.”
Chi Huan was listless: “Oh, got it.”
She took the opportunity to look around. The huge villa was decorated entirely in black, white, and gray, with an extremely minimalist style. One could immediately tell the personality of the owner living here.
The more Chi Huan looked, the colder her heart became.
“Chi Huan’s” mother was named Rong Qing. Due to losing her Alpha early on, Rong Qing developed an extremely dominant personality.
As a lone Omega, and being in the complex Chi family network, Rong Qing not only prevented other uncles from seizing the family property but also managed the entire Chi family with meticulous care.
She was essentially an iron lady.
This kind of person is impossible to fool!
Turning the corner past the entrance, a large, soft fabric sofa came into view.
The woman sitting on the sofa was wearing a dark green qipao. Beneath the fitted dress, her perfectly proportioned figure was fully displayed. A shawl was draped over her arm, and her beautiful hair was neatly tied back with a hairpin.
Her appearance showed that she was no longer young, but the aura around her was all the more captivating.
Rong Qing looked her up and down: “How did this happen?”
Chi Huan said sheepishly: “I fell.”
“Quite an evenly distributed fall,” Rong Qing mocked. “Tell me, where were you fooling around to fall like this?”
Chi Huan: “The office.”
Rong Qing: “Keep making things up.”
Chi Huan: “It really is…”
Rong Qing watched her expectantly.
Chi Huan looked back at Zhao Shu for help: “Zhao Zhao, I really didn’t go fooling around. You can testify for me!”
Zhao Shu was Rong Qing’s person. Rong Qing should believe what she said, right?
She really didn’t go messing around!
Rong Qing’s gaze followed hers and she said flatly: “You speak.”
Zhao Shu felt like the devil was watching her: “Chairwoman, President Chi was indeed injured in the office.”
Rong Qing was slightly surprised and motioned for her to continue.
“It was my lack of care,” Zhao Shu lowered her head in shame. “My apologies, Chairwoman.”
Rong Qing was thoughtful: “I heard that Miss Lu came to see Chi Huan this afternoon?”
“…Yes.”
Rong Qing turned her gaze back to her daughter and nodded understandingly.
“The fact that you were using her as a stand-in was exposed? So the little girl got angry and beat you up like this?”
Chi Huan: “…”
Rong Qing said: “Serves you right!”
Chi Huan: “QAQ”
Rong Qing added: “Can’t even beat an Omega. How embarrassing!”
Chi Huan: “Wuwu…”
Seeing Chi Huan hang her head like a scolded golden retriever, Rong Qing’s expression softened slightly, and she stroked her hair.
“However… it shows you have some sense of responsibility, knowing that an Alpha shouldn’t hit an Omega.”
This was a wonderful misunderstanding. Chi Huan seized the opportunity to deflect and cause a fuss, insisting she needed to go upstairs to rest.
Rong Qing ultimately felt for her own daughter and allowed her to go upstairs.
After Auntie Mei led her away, the loving expression on Rong Qing’s face instantly disappeared.
The woman’s eyes were upturned at the outer corners, making her exceptionally seductive when looking sideways, but once lowered, her eyes became full of pressure.
“What exactly happened?”
Zhao Shu hesitated and said, “President Chi was injured after seeing Miss Lu today. After I took her to the hospital, somehow, President Chi was taken away by the police.”
“The person who called the police might have been… Miss Lu.”
“‘Somehow’?” Rong Qing repeated, raising her eyes to look directly at Zhao Shu. “I told you to take good care of her. Is this how you took care of her?”
Zhao Shu’s heart trembled: “I apologize, Chairwoman. It was my poor performance.”
Rong Qing said flatly: “There won’t be a next time.”
“Yes, Chairwoman!”
Rong Qing leaned against a cushion, her legs naturally crossed, her posture elegant to the point of being captivating: “As for that Miss Lu…”
Zhao Shu stood silently at the side, her head bowed.
“I originally thought that with her around, Xiaohuan would eventually forget Mu Yi, but she actually hurt Xiaohuan…”
“A substitute is a substitute after all. She truly is not as good as the original.”
She looked at Zhao Shu and instructed: “Find a way to call Mu Yi back from abroad.”
