After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 10
It was a very polite greeting, and Gu Zhi couldn’t help but drop her feigned hostile glare.
Xu Ranzhi smiled and said, “Actually, I was the one who initiated this blind date with your father.”
Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow. What is she trying to do? According to the original Gu Zhi’s reputation, no omega heiress would be interested in him, especially someone as outstanding as Xu Ranzhi.
“The purpose was to meet you,” she said softly.
Gu Zhi laughed. “Miss Xu, why go to so much trouble? You could have just come to my company, Wanzhong, to see me.”
“You wouldn’t have met me,” Xu Ranzhi said with a confident smile. “You’re always wrapped up in the entertainment world; you wouldn’t have bothered with anything else.” Xu Ranzhi had, in fact, tried to contact her once, but Gu Zhi was busy with work and couldn’t go to A City. Even after two months, there had been no reply from Gu Zhi. When her schedule finally cleared up, she had no choice but to come to A City herself.
“Oh, you’re a smooth talker,” Gu Zhi thought. Are you crazy?
“So, what do you want to talk to me about?”
“I heard you have a close relationship with the young Best Actress, Xu Muyan. Is that true?” Xu Ranzhi got straight to the point.
Gu Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. Did Xu Ranzhi know that Xu Muyan was her sister? “Why? Is my relationship with Best Actress Xu any of your business, Miss Xu? What is she to you?”
“What she is to me is none of your business, CEO Gu,” Xu Ranzhi said, her eyes showing a hint of coldness. “I’m warning you, you’d better not touch her.”
Gu Zhi looked at this seemingly spoiled heiress, who now had a murderous look on her face. She’s the same age as me.
“I’m telling you, do not touch her!” Xu Ranzhi said, her words carefully enunciated. “Do you understand?”
Gu Zhi scoffed. “Sorry, that’s up to Miss Xu. If she doesn’t want me to, I naturally won’t touch her.”
Xu Ranzhi straightened her back. “Gu Zhi, you have to promise me.”
#GuZhiAndXuRanzhiBlindDate
The hashtag was already trending at number one on Weibo, causing an online storm.
[Didn’t Gu Zhi have a thing with Best Actress Xu? Why would she be on a blind date with the heiress of Junze Company?]
[Xu Muyan is just a plaything for the rich. Gu Zhi’s endgame is to be with a proper heiress.]
[Tsk tsk, Xu Muyan’s career is definitely over now.]
Xu Muyan frowned as she looked at Weibo. She wasn’t angry because of the netizens’ mockery. She was angry because the person Gu Zhi was on a blind date with was her own half-sister. It was laughable. Xu Muyan clenched her hands, her knuckles turning white.
That year…
Her mother had taken her to a huge mansion she had never seen before. The garden they passed was beautiful. There were clusters of roses with a few pretty butterflies fluttering around them, and the sound of a fountain made everything seem so peaceful. The mansion was huge, filled with furniture she had never seen before. The sight of it all made her feel deeply inferior. She remembered that the servants would look at her and her mother with disgust. An old maid had even called her a bastard behind her back. She didn’t know what “bastard” meant, but seeing their disgusted faces, she knew it was a bad word.
A woman in an elegant, long black dress, an omega, sat on a grand sofa, her fair hand holding a cigarette. Her lips were fiery red, but her eyes were cold and distant.
“I… I want to see him,” her mother said, her face full of humility that little Muyan would remember forever.
“See him? Do you have the right?” the woman said, exhaling a puff of smoke. She looked at Xu Muyan, who was hiding behind her mother, and smiled. “What a pretty girl. What’s your name?”
Little Muyan saw her smile and thought she was a kind aunt. She replied, “Muyan.”
“No last name?” the woman’s voice turned slightly cold.
Her mother lowered her head and said, “I just want her to have a good life.”
“I asked you what her last name is,” the woman said, then pointed at her mother. “I’ll give you a slap, and I’ll fund your daughter’s tuition at a prestigious school.”
Her mother pursed her lips and took a small step forward. Little Muyan suddenly grabbed her mother’s sleeve. This auntie is so mean. She’s going to hurt Mommy!
“Mommy, don’t go.”
“Sweetheart, you need to listen to Mommy and wait here,” her mother said softly, and then she walked up to the woman and was immediately slapped.
At that moment, a little girl who was watching the scene from the side started to cry in fear.
The woman angrily said, “Take the young lady away!” The crisp sound of the slap was so clear in little Muyan’s ears. She clearly saw a red mark appear on her mother’s face. Her mother, whose expression was in pain, smiled to comfort her.
“You little slut, look at your mother,” the woman said, grabbing her mother’s neck and proudly showing off her “work.” But before she could react, her arm was bitten by little Muyan, leaving a tooth mark.
Little Muyan received her first slap. Her left ear would occasionally ring after that.
“Get out!”
“Slut, leave!”
“Shameless! Don’t bring your bastard here again!”
The servants all rushed them out, their mouths full of filthy words. Little Muyan suddenly felt that the beautiful garden wasn’t beautiful at all. Behind its peaceful facade was a dark and unbearable past. It was a coldness that she couldn’t fit into.
Little Muyan pursed her lips and looked at the big mansion. She saw a little girl hiding behind a pillar, watching her. Her eyes were full of anger and pity. It was only later that she learned this was her half-sister.
Xu Muyan suddenly yelled, her voice hoarse and raw.
Why? Why could they have such a wonderful life while she had to live alone? Why was her mother, who was the original wife, seen as the mistress and pointed at by neighbors, even having to move several times? Why? Why?!
Xu Muyan silently collapsed onto the bed. She had entered the entertainment industry to become famous, not just to make money, but to show them that she was doing well! But capital still crushed her and made it impossible to move forward.
“What do you want me to promise?” Gu Zhi asked.
“Your father is very concerned about your marriage,” Xu Ranzhi said with a smile. “He originally wanted to introduce you to many blind dates, but they all refused without exception, as you can imagine. But I won’t.”
Xu Ranzhi spoke with determination. She gently tucked a long strand of hair behind her ear. Her movements were gentle and elegant. Xu Ranzhi was indeed a proper heiress, even more outstanding than others.
“I want to marry you.”
After hearing those words, Gu Zhi’s eyes widened in shock. Are you kidding me?!
“I will marry you if you leave Xu Muyan and never see her again,” Xu Ranzhi said, finishing her coffee.
“Haha.”
In the silence, Gu Zhi’s laughter was particularly loud.
“What are you laughing at?” Xu Ranzhi frowned.
“Sorry, besides Xu Muyan, I don’t want to marry anyone else. This is the truth. Even if Xu Muyan doesn’t like me, I’m willing to wait for her to fall in love with me.”
Gu Zhi’s appearance made it easy for people to let their guard down. As long as she said something serious, people would believe her. Xu Ranzhi almost believed it, too. She couldn’t believe that this alpha, known as a notorious playboy, would have a change of heart for an omega.
“I have to go. I have something to do,” Gu Zhi said.
Gu Zhi walked to the front desk, where her parents were already waiting impatiently. “How did it go?” Gu Lan asked.
“Not so great. It’s off,” Gu Zhi said with a satisfied smile. Gu Lan’s face fell, and he said angrily, “I finally found an heiress who was interested in you, and you just blow it off? Why are you still obsessed with those actresses?”
“Have you been entangled with that Xu Muyan for a long time? Do you think she’s yours just because she got tangled up with you? You like Xu Muyan, don’t you?!”
“Yes, I like Xu Muyan,” Gu Zhi said with a slight smile.
“Gu Zhi, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re financially independent? I don’t approve of you being with someone from the entertainment industry!”
“Dad,” Gu Zhi suddenly said. “Xu Muyan is pregnant with my child.”
What?! Gu Lan felt like he had just heard a huge joke. His daughter got someone pregnant. That’s disgraceful!
“So not only do I like her, but I also have to take responsibility for her. Even if she doesn’t want to be with me, I still have to… Hey, Dad, why is your face turning green and red?”
Gu Lan was so angry he couldn’t speak. He could only try to calm himself down. Gu Zhi’s mother, Gao Qi, on the other hand, was overjoyed to hear the word “child.” She had been looking forward to a grandchild for a long time.
“When did she get pregnant?”
“About twenty-something days ago.”
Twenty-something days? That’s still a long way off. Gao Qi comforted her husband. “Since there’s a child now, let’s just let it go. Isn’t it normal for a celebrity to marry a rich person?”
Gu Lan cleared his throat. “Where is she?”
Just as Gu Zhi was about to answer, her phone rang. “Hello?”
“CEO Gu, it’s bad! Miss Xu fainted on the bed and is unconscious. I’ve taken her to the hospital,” Tan Ning’s frantic voice made Gu Zhi’s heart pound.
Xu Muyan, you have to hold on!
