After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 9
On the other side, Chi Huan stopped typing, feeling extremely uneasy after sending the message. Her sent message hung on the screen, but there was no reply from Mu Yi.
She read her sent message again.
[Give You Joy]: Long time no see.
The melancholy tone was perfect, the posturing was perfect, without any flaw!
What was Mu Yi doing?
Until Auntie Mei came up to call her for a meal, Mu Yi still hadn’t replied. Chi Huan simply turned off her phone and went downstairs to eat.
What she didn’t know was that on the other side, the equally distraught Mu Yi had also gone out for a walk to clear her head.
“One beef sandwich, one iced Americano.”
Mu Yi had just finished ordering and was about to turn around when someone bumped into her full force. She quickly helped steady the person, “Excuse me, I wasn’t looking.”
Unexpectedly, once she offered support, the person wouldn’t let go. The other party excitedly grabbed her wrist, “Mu Yi!”
Mu Yi looked over in confusion.
A strange Omega, and an extremely beautiful one at that. Even though she was gaunt, one could see the striking beauty emanating from her bones.
Mu Yi’s family background was no secret, and she had seen countless people approach her with unknown motives.
However, she had not yet publicly announced her second differentiation. Her publicly known identity was still Omega, and most people who approached her were Alphas.
Why was this Omega in front of her looking for her?
She maintained her composure and asked, “You are?”
“Chi Huan,” the Omega held her hand, saying slowly and with difficulty, “Mu Yi, I am Chi Huan!”
Mu Yi suddenly looked up and asked slowly, “Who did you say you are?”
…
“So good!” Chi Huan buried her head in her food. “Auntie Mei’s cooking is amazing!”
Auntie Mei looked at her indulgently, “Eat more if you like it. While Auntie Mei is still healthy, I can cook for you for a few more years.”
“Nonsense! Auntie Mei is very healthy! Auntie Mei will still be young when I’m old!”
Auntie Mei was amused and smiled. After Chi Huan finished eating, she collected the dishes and returned to the kitchen.
Chi Huan slumped in her seat to digest for a while, then lazily climbed upstairs and retrieved her phone.
Mu Yi still hadn’t responded.
She pondered for a moment and poked the System.
“System, what is Mu Yi’s disgust level now?”
【Detecting… Detection complete. Mu Yi’s current Disgust Level: 60. Note: You can claim the reward when it reaches 80.】
Still 20 short… Chi Huan rolled twice on the bed, looking at the progress bar in distress.
Before she could come up with a good idea, the System announcement sounded again.
【Detected continuous fluctuation in main character Mu Yi’s Disgust Level. Updating data: Mu Yi’s current Disgust Level 65… updating… 70… 80…】
【Congratulations, Host, on achieving “The Cannon Fodder Utterly Disgusted by the Protagonist.” Unlocking reward: Save Point * 1】
【Reward has been placed in the Host’s inventory. Please check it.】
Huh?
Chi Huan instantly sat up, listening to the System’s announcement wave with surprise.
What happened? Why did Mu Yi’s disgust level increase so quickly?
She thought hard, “Could it be a change caused by Lu You?”
Lu You’s Mood Level was linked to her Luck Value. After her foolishness yesterday, Lu You’s Mood Level was quite stable, meaning her Luck Value was also at a high number.
Is that really the case?
Chi Huan pondered for a while. Unable to figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and simply took out her phone to contact her little secretary.
“Zhao Zhao, are you there?”
Zhao Shu: “Hello, I am currently unavailable. I will contact you later.”
Chi Huan (sweatdrop): “You forgot to type your automatic reply.”
Zhao Shu: “Hello, I am currently unavailable. I will contact you later. [Automatic Reply]”
Good heavens, a blue-text automatic reply, she’s serious.
Chi Huan slowly typed: “I discussed it with my mother last night. Your salary for next month…”
Zhao Shu: “President Chi, I was just in a meeting and missed your messages. Please tell me what you need.”
“Can you go to the hospital and check on Lu You for me?”
Zhao Shu: “…” She knew there was no good news.
However, compared to the wicked feats of the Great Demon King Chi Huan in the past, this was considered a minor request.
She didn’t refuse, “Okay, President Chi. I’ll go after work.”
“Go now. I won’t count it as skipping work,” Chi Huan said. “You can clock out for the day after you visit.”
There’s such a good thing? Zhao Shu said: “Okay, President Chi. Any other instructions?”
“Nothing else. Just check on her mood, and don’t let her find out,” Chi Huan instructed. “Remember, I’m a Scumbag Alpha! Don’t ruin my persona!”
Zhao Shu: “…” I don’t understand the fun between you young couples.
But she still had to follow the boss’s orders.
Considering Chi Huan’s repeated instructions not to reveal her identity, Zhao Shu deliberately changed clothes and removed her makeup, instantly transforming from a career elite into a pure, sweet girl.
After confirming that even her own mother wouldn’t recognize her, she walked out the main gate, stepping over the scattered eyeballs of her colleagues.
Then… she ran straight into Rong Qing’s car.
The fiery red Ferrari stopped beside her. The window rolled down, and Rong Qing pulled her sunglasses down, looking her up and down twice before confirming the identity of the person in front of her.
“Are you going on a blind date?”
Zhao Shu: “Ahem!”
Rong Qing: “?”
Zhao Shu immediately switched to a professional smile: “Hello, Chairwoman Rong. President Chi just assigned me a task, and I’m on my way to execute it.”
Rong Qing leaned against the car seat, speaking with a subtle smile, “Could it be that she asked you to check on her little girlfriend for her?”
Zhao Shu didn’t intend to hide it, smiling awkwardly and nodding: “Yes.”
The rear car door opened, and Rong Qing said, “Get in. I’ll take you.”
Huh? Zhao Shu suspected she heard wrong.
Rong Qing’s expression was cold, clearly disliking having to repeat an order: “Get in.”
“I haven’t personally met my future daughter-in-law yet. I thought about it, and it’s quite inexcusable.”
Seeing her expression, cold sweat immediately broke out on Zhao Shu’s back. Daring not to disobey her command, she nervously got into the car.
The car drove out of the garage.
Zhao Shu prepared herself mentally all the way. Finally, before going upstairs, she mustered the courage to speak: “Chairwoman Rong, President Chi instructed me to come quietly, preferably without alarming Miss Lu…”
Rong Qing turned her head and raised an eyebrow, “Little Zhao, do you still remember who your boss is?”
Zhao Shu instantly sobered up. She steadied herself and said softly, “It’s you.”
“Then there’s no problem, is there?”
Zhao Shu said no more. The elevator opened before them. She took the lead, guiding Rong Qing to the door of Lu You’s grandmother’s room.
Just then, Lu You came out to get water. Seeing them, she stopped, confused, “Hello, may I ask who you are?”
“Miss Lu,” Zhao Shu took the initiative, “I am Zhao Shu.”
Lu You realized, feeling a little awkward: “Oh, Miss Zhao, are you here for something?”
She pursed her lips, a little fearful, yet with some unspeakable expectation, she carefully asked: “Did Chi Huan send you?”
“I asked her to bring me,” Rong Qing said, looking at her with interest, instantly drawing all of Lu You’s attention. “Miss Lu, nice to meet you. My name is Rong Qing, and I am Chi Huan’s mother.”
Lu You had seen her from the moment they arrived—
It was impossible not to see her. Rong Qing was extremely beautiful, dressed in extravagant clothing, and stood there with an imposing aura, like an eight-hundred-watt light bulb. Passersby couldn’t help but stare.
She had just made a guess, but she didn’t expect it to be her.
“Hello,” Lu You said cautiously. “May I ask what brings you here?”
Rong Qing’s eyes were sharp as knives, but her expression was almost flippant. After a while, she spoke lightly: “I heard your family member is sick? I came to see.”
Lu You quickly waved her hand: “This is too much trouble for you. Actually, Chi Huan and I have already broken up…”
She suddenly remembered the one million that Chi Huan had transferred to her last night. She fumbled for her phone, intending to return the money.
Rong Qing said slowly, “I heard Chi Huan transferred one million to you? You want to return it to me? There’s no need. I didn’t come for this small amount of money.”
Lu You could not fail to understand her blatant contemptuous expression. She felt extremely embarrassed, but insisted on answering: “I didn’t want her money. If it’s convenient, I can return it to you right now.”
“I said there’s no need,” Rong Qing said. “One million is probably not enough to buy out your relationship. You can name your price.”
Lu You closed her eyes, fighting hard to suppress the trembling throughout her body. She gritted her teeth and emphasized: “I truly am not doing this for money!”
“You’re not—then what about your family? For example, your grandmother?”
“I heard it’s a very troublesome disease that requires long-term treatment, right? Is your salary enough to cover these medical expenses?” Rong Qing said. “Or are you going to ask for help from your parents, who have worked hard on construction sites for decades?”
Lu You’s words faltered. Her eyes turned red, and she felt extreme suffocation in her chest.
“If you take this money, you can ensure that you and your family are financially secure for the rest of your lives. Your parents won’t have to toil on construction sites in their old age, and your grandmother can receive the best medical care.”
Rong Qing looked up, observing her expression, growing more composed. “You also won’t have to rush back and forth between the company and the hospital every day, just to maintain this meager income.”
Rong Qing’s words were like a heavy hammer, relentlessly striking Lu You, shattering her pride.
Lu You gasped for several breaths. Her face was deathly pale, like a blank sheet of paper. She stared at the arrogant and cold woman in front of her, unable to utter a single word.
Lu You had never told anyone about the pressure in her life, not even during the peak of her relationship with Chi Huan.
She knew that if she spoke, given Chi Huan’s status, helping her would be as easy as flipping a hand.
But… she refused to say anything.
She had her pride, and she was confident in her ability to lead her family out of their predicament.
Graduated from a prestigious university, with a considerable annual salary.
The moment she received her first paycheck, Lu You had even prepared to bring the good news to her parents, telling them—
You don’t have to work so hard anymore. I can support you now.
But…
The hospital room behind her was like an abyss. Uremia was a bottomless pit that dragged all her hopes into the darkness.
“Have you thought it through?”
Rong Qing waved her hand. Zhao Shu immediately handed over a checkbook, “Do you want a check or a transfer?”
…
Chi Huan, far away at home, hadn’t received any messages from her little secretary for a long time and was getting worried.
Could she have been recognized by Lu You?
Ah, how should I best try to talk my way out of this?
After much thought, she felt it would be better to go herself.
Her Scumbag Alpha persona was life-or-death; it absolutely could not fall apart!
Unexpectedly, as soon as her feet hit the floor, she performed a slide-tackle and flew out, fatefully hitting the corner of a cabinet. Her already injured leg was injured a second time, and blood instantly began to seep out.
Before a scream could escape her lips, the vase on the cabinet wobbled and fell, hitting her head with a loud “kuang dang” and knocking her unconscious.
Before losing consciousness, the System’s prompt arrived belatedly.
