After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 14

“Miss Xu, it’s done.”

In the high-rise office building, professionals bustled about. Xu Ranzhi looked at Weibo and hummed in approval. While a large portion of netizens did dislike Gu Zhi, most were just making light of the situation. The buzz would die down soon.

She had her subordinates hire online trolls to make the public outrage bigger. Her goal was to let Gu Lan, who was usually detached from such matters, know what was happening, to make him feel ashamed, and to prevent Gu Zhi from getting involved in the entertainment industry. Gu Zhi had the money to suppress the negative comments, but she couldn’t erase the memories of netizens. Year after year, the issue would be brought up again and again, and Gu Lan would surely get annoyed.

Xu Ranzhi’s slender fingers caressed the necklace on her neck. Her eyes were tender. Sister, if you really want a sugar daddy, I can be the only one for you.

The fan’s real name was not revealed, but her main Weibo account was called “A Prosperous Life For You.” She was Xu Muyan’s fansite manager and had over a hundred thousand followers.

“Our Yan Yan is a fairy who comes once in a century in the entertainment industry, a high-mountain flower that can’t be tarnished. I don’t know what that scumbag Gu Zhi did to force Yan Yan into this,” A Prosperous Life For You said tearfully. “I’ve been a fan of Yan Yan for five years. I’ve watched her go to and from work every day. Before, those scummy alphas who thought she was pretty would always try to touch her, but she was never servile. After she became famous, this Gu Zhi harassed our Yan Yan time and time again, but Yan Yan never gave her the time of day.”

“Now Yan Yan must have been blackmailed by her into living in the Yulan Villa. Those ignorant netizens are calling her a shameless slut. I’ve been with her for so long. Don’t I know her personality? I’m so, so, so mad!”

Gu Zhi, who was walking toward the entrance, was stunned by what she heard. A Prosperous Life For You was startled to see her. She mustered her courage and yelled, “Come on, sue me! I’m not scared!”

Gu Zhi: “…” Why would I sue you?

With Gu Zhi’s wealth, A Prosperous Life For You would not only have to pay compensation but also face jail time. But Gu Zhi didn’t want that.

“I’m very sorry for the misunderstanding,” Gu Zhi said politely. “Actually, Miss Xu doesn’t live with me. She just bought a house in the Yulan Villa.”

“I knew Yan Yan wouldn’t live with a person like you! They said there are only a hundred households in the Yulan Villa and that Yan Yan’s name isn’t on the deeds, insisting that you’re already living together.” A Prosperous Life For You rambled on, secretly thinking that Gu Zhi seemed like a good person.

“Yeah,” Gu Zhi chuckled. She suddenly wondered if being so close to Xu Muyan was bad for her reputation.

“Um… I was also impulsive when I threw those rotten eggs at you…”

“It’s okay. It wasn’t your fault.”

A Prosperous Life For You’s eyes widened. She had never heard anything like that before. CEO Gu has a huge heart!

After leaving, A Prosperous Life For You immediately posted on Weibo that Gu Zhi had personally come to explain her and Xu Muyan’s relationship. She also said that even though she had thrown rotten eggs at her, Gu Zhi forgave her. A true big boss has a big heart. She also posted a photo of her and Gu Zhi. The smile on Gu Zhi’s face looked genuine, not fake.

As soon as the post was out, the public opinion quickly turned positive. Some of Xu Muyan’s fans even started saying good things about Gu Zhi. Since the rumors were dispelled by the person in question, Xu Muyan’s fans could now openly support their idol.

Xu Ranzhi refreshed her feed again and again. When she saw the trending topic change to “#CEO Gu’s Big Heart,” her face twitched. She clenched her hands until her knuckles turned white. No, this is not the result I wanted!

Gu Zhi and Han Yun walked out together. Han Yun was puzzled. “CEO Gu, why did you let her go? It was her fault for throwing the rotten eggs. Given your old personality, you would have destroyed her family.”

Gu Zhi raised her hand and smiled. “Little Han, you don’t understand.”

“My reputation online is terrible. Although it was that kid’s fault for throwing the rotten eggs, it’s a perfect opportunity for me to rebrand myself and resolve the issue.”

“So your new brand is ‘saintly’?” Han Yun asked innocently.

“The girl, ‘A Prosperous Life For You,’ seems very young and innocent. I think she must have been stunned by my actions,” Gu Zhi said. “This is me being humane,” Gu Zhi smiled, satisfied.

The original Gu Zhi’s cold, ruthless, and playboy image was ingrained in the public’s mind. To change that, she had to do something that had a contrasting effect. And this was the perfect opportunity. See? The public opinion on Weibo is much better than it was before.

It was late when Xu Muyan returned to the Yulan Villa. The house was completely dark. Xu Muyan didn’t know if Gu Zhi was back yet. She washed up and went to Gu Zhi’s room. Without turning on the light, she lay on the bed. The familiar scent of red wine entered her senses. Xu Muyan sighed softly. At first, she was only slightly affected by Gu Zhi’s pheromones, but now, the scent of red wine rushed into her nostrils, as if she were really drinking wine. She felt a little drunk.

Gu Zhi hugged her tightly from behind. “Sister, you’re back a little late.”

“Did you go to see my fan?” Xu Muyan had been busy with work and hadn’t messaged her.

“Yes, she’s your fan. I can’t bully her.”

“But what she did was wrong.”

“But she’s been a fan of yours for five years. It’s really impressive to like someone for five years. Some people can’t even hold on for a month.”

“I think you must be very happy and lucky to have a fan who loves you so much.”

“So I can’t bully them.”

Xu Muyan pursed her lips. She held the hands of Gu Zhi, who was wrapped around her waist. Gu Zhi never said she liked her. She always showed it through her actions. It was the first time she had felt this kind of warmth from someone. Many times, her suitors would say they liked her after only meeting her once or twice. She would laugh at herself. Love is so cheap. When will someone truly love me? she had always wondered.

Xu Muyan suddenly hoped she would confess to her, but she shook her head. I’ll have to wait and see.

After Xu Muyan finished filming her scene, Tan Ning came over. “Muyan, a dating show wants you.”

“It’s called Spring Heartbeat.”

Xu Muyan, who was eating her lunch box from the film crew, suddenly choked. She remembered joking about this with Gu Zhi. She didn’t expect Gu Zhi to actually make it happen.

“I’m not going.” Xu Muyan said coldly, continuing to eat.

“You have to. That other show fell through. Anan TV isn’t picking a fight with CEO Gu, but they are keeping an eye on you. They’re a big TV station. You can’t be a thorn in their side. This show is their production, so you have to give them face.”

Xu Muyan sighed and agreed. But she chose to call Gu Zhi and tell her she was crazy. Gu Zhi said tearfully, “Sister, don’t yell at me.”

“To be honest, I’m also on this show.”

Xu Muyan: “…” This made her even angrier.

Gu Zhi joining the dating show was twofold. One, she wanted to use the show to clear her name. The original Gu Zhi’s image was too extreme. Going on a regular show wouldn’t be enough to fix her reputation. She needed to be a long-term cast member. Two, she wanted to pursue Xu Muyan. Although they slept and lived together, Xu Muyan still seemed to be holding back. In any case, if they were going to be together, the netizens would find out eventually. She might as well use the show to let everyone know that Gu Zhi loved Xu Muyan the most!

And after Gu Zhi had hired trolls to whitewash her reputation, Xu Muyan’s fans, who thought she was helping Xu Muyan fight against a pervert, said that she and Xu Muyan were actually a good match.

“You’re crazy!” Xu Muyan yelled and hung up.

Xu Muyan had been living in the Yulan Villa for two months. Gu Zhi had been keeping a close eye on Xu Muyan’s stomach, but it was as flat as a field. She had tried to ask indirectly, “Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?”

Xu Muyan would say, “Why would I go to the hospital?”

Gu Zhi thought that maybe Xu Muyan didn’t know she was pregnant. Wait, what if she’s not pregnant? Gu Zhi didn’t dare to ask her directly. After all, a delicate omega suddenly getting marked and pregnant would be a disgrace to anyone. But Xu Muyan’s appetite was often poor, and she would occasionally dry-heave and feel a strong aversion to greasy food. These were all signs of pregnancy. Gu Zhi dismissed the idea that she wasn’t pregnant.

Even if Xu Muyan were to go to the hospital, she would go on her own. With her personality, she wouldn’t tell Gu Zhi. Gu Zhi had to do better to help her overcome her shame.

Spring Heartbeat was being filmed in A City. At the start, there were three men and three women living in the house. Two were male alphas, two were male betas, and two were female omegas. It looks like it’ll be hard to find love here, Gu Zhi thought.

On the first day of filming, Gu Zhi dressed luxuriously. Oh wait, no. She was trying to create a contrasting image from her original self. So, she chose a more approachable outfit: a loose-fitting hoodie and jeans. She looked like a hip-hop artist. She was the first guest to arrive at the house. She nervously swallowed.

Then, a male beta, a doctor named Wo Aini, arrived. After that, the male alpha host and another male beta, a restaurant owner, also arrived. They greeted each other with smiles, but everyone knew what was going on. After all, the famous Gu family heiress was there.

Only two female omegas were left, and one of them was Xu Muyan. Gu Zhi couldn’t wait any longer. Come on, hurry!

“Sorry, I’m late.” A clear, cold voice came from the doorway.

Gu Zhi rushed to the door to greet her. She smiled. “Welcome…”

But when she saw the person’s face, her smile froze. Why is she here?!

Xu Ranzhi tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear and smiled seductively. “CEO Gu, you’re quite enthusiastic about me.”
