After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 15
Gu Zhi’s lips twitched. Enthusiastic about you? Not a chance!
She had to be polite for the cameras, but she really couldn’t bring herself to be polite to Xu Ranzhi. “What are you doing here?” Gu Zhi asked in a low voice.
“I can be with you,” Xu Ranzhi said with a smile.
Gu Zhi silently moved to the side. She felt that this person was going to be a big problem and that she had to keep an eye on her at all times.
At that moment, two men walked over, eagerly helping Xu Ranzhi with her bag and handing her slippers. Another guy looked on, enjoying the drama. Gu Zhi’s blind date was here, and so was her rumored partner. The unfolding scene was going to be a mess.
This show is so exciting! The director smiled to himself. He was sure the show would be a hit. If it wasn’t, he would quit and become an actor.
Xu Ranzhi sat elegantly on the sofa and glanced at the fuming Gu Zhi, letting out a cold laugh. She had already arranged for people in the entertainment industry to inform her that Xu Muyan and Gu Zhi were going on a dating show. Her goal was to make Xu Muyan see her in a new light or to cause chaos between the two of them. Her “Sister” belonged only to her, and only she could call her “Sister.”
A moment later, Xu Muyan arrived quietly. She was simply wearing a white knit top and a thick braid. A green skirt complimented her fair, milky skin. She looked like a fairy dancing among the flowers in a field.
So beautiful… Gu Zhi stared in a daze.
“Hello, everyone,” Xu Muyan said, greeting them. Her eyes landed on Xu Ranzhi, and a complex look flashed across her face.
“Hello, Sister Muyan,” Xu Ranzhi said, standing up to shake her hand.
Xu Muyan acknowledged her and walked past her. Xu Ranzhi paused.
“Hello. I’ve seen your movies. They’re very good,” Wo Aini said shyly.
Xu Muyan joked, “It looks like you already know what I do for a living.”
Everyone laughed.
Gu Zhi chimed in, “It seems like my job is known too.”
The room suddenly fell silent. Gu Zhi: “…” Did I ruin the mood?
Xu Ranzhi coughed and smiled faintly. “How embarrassing.”
Gu Zhi: “…” Mind your own business.
That evening, it was time to cook.
Wo Aini said, “There are a lot of ingredients in the fridge. Why don’t I cook dinner tonight?”
Xu Muyan said, “I’ll help you.”
Gu Zhi raised her hand. “I can cook too.” A CEO who can cook would be a huge surprise!
“Forget it. You only know how to make egg fried rice,” Xu Muyan replied.
Gu Zhi: “…” You’re my “Sister.” Could you at least save me some face?
Xu Ranzhi watched Xu Muyan and Wo Aini chat while they cooked. They looked so harmonious that she felt a pang of envy.
After dinner, it was time for the “battle” over seats. The three men were a bit awkward, and no one sat down first. Xu Muyan, however, was very direct and sat in the middle. Seeing this, Gu Zhi quickly sat to her left, and at the same time, Xu Ranzhi sat to her right. The three men had no choice but to sit opposite them.
Ji Mo, the beta who had been watching the drama, thought for a moment. Gu Zhi, an alpha, was rumored to like Xu Muyan, so it was no problem for her to sit next to her. But Xu Ranzhi, an omega, sitting next to another omega? He hadn’t seen that in the previous seasons of the show unless they were close. No, that’s not it. It must be that Xu Ranzhi likes Gu Zhi, but Gu Zhi likes Xu Muyan. So Xu Ranzhi wants to get close to Xu Muyan to either fake a good relationship and then cause trouble, or to deliberately make things difficult for Gu Zhi to keep her from getting closer to Xu Muyan. Ji Mo nodded. That must be it.
Gu Zhi picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Xu Muyan’s bowl. She said softly, “You’re too thin. Have a little.”
Xu Muyan hummed in response.
Xu Ranzhi was annoyed. She picked up some broccoli for Xu Muyan and said with a beautiful smile, “Sister Muyan is on a diet for her filming. She should eat healthy vegetables. You’re making her eat meat so late at night. Do you want her to get fat?”
Wo Aini’s lips twitched. It’s one thing for an alpha to show affection for an omega, but what are you, another omega, doing?
Gu Zhi gritted her teeth. And what’s with calling her ‘Sister’ as soon as you see her?
The three men looked at each other, stunned. Ji Mo took a closer look at Xu Muyan and Xu Ranzhi. They did look a bit alike. But the Xu family only had one daughter. Xu Muyan couldn’t be Chairman Xu’s illegitimate daughter, so he dismissed the thought.
“Do you want to eat this?” Wang Yang, the gentle beta who hadn’t spoken yet, pointed at a braised chicken wing. “Chicken has fewer calories than pork. It’s fine to eat at night.”
The three of them unanimously agreed that Gu Zhi was there for Xu Muyan, so they didn’t dare get too close to her. Although Xu Ranzhi was Gu Zhi’s blind date, Gu Zhi didn’t seem to have any feelings for her. And with Xu Ranzhi’s good family background, looks, and education, they all started showing her affection. Ji Mo didn’t think that way because he wanted to find an alpha to spend his life with. He actually had a crush on Gu Zhi. Her face was childlike and looked soft, probably very nice to touch. He didn’t forget to give her a seductive wink.
Xu Ranzhi was unhappy that Xu Muyan hadn’t said anything. She said flatly, “I don’t like it.”
Xu Muyan took a sip of orange juice. She didn’t eat the food Gu Zhi or Xu Ranzhi had put in her bowl. The two of them were like furnaces on either side of her.
After dinner, Gu Zhi volunteered to wash the dishes.
Xu Muyan stayed behind. “I’ll join you.”
Xu Ranzhi also stayed. “I want to wash dishes too.”
“Miss, you’re so refined. You’ve probably never even washed a bowl, let alone cooked,” Gu Zhi said. Haha, you want to be alone with her? No way!
Xu Ranzhi said, “I’ll learn.”
“Ranzhi,” Xu Muyan suddenly said, using her name’s last two characters.
Xu Ranzhi’s ears turned red, and her eyes lit up as she looked at Xu Muyan. This was the third time Xu Muyan had called her by her nickname since they met again. She used to call her “Zhizhi” before.
“Gu Zhi and I can handle the dishes. Why don’t you go hang out with the others?” Xu Muyan said calmly.
“Okay.” The light in Xu Ranzhi’s eyes faded. As soon as Xu Muyan gave her an order, she didn’t dare to disobey and reluctantly left.
Gu Zhi smiled with satisfaction. As expected, Xu Muyan is on my side. But why was Xu Ranzhi a little afraid of Xu Muyan?
“I have a question,” she said.
“What is it?”
“When Xu Ranzhi came to see me before, why didn’t you ask me why she came?”
Gu Zhi answered without hesitation, “Since you didn’t say anything, I didn’t need to ask. You can just tell me if you want.” Actually, I was going to ask, but then Xu Muyan fell asleep in the car. Then my susceptible period started and I felt sick, and then I did… that… with Xu Muyan at night. So I forgot.
“Then do you know about my family background?” Xu Muyan asked again, her eyes as deep as an icy abyss.
Gu Zhi didn’t dare to lie. “I’m sorry. I did some research.”
“I know. With your power and resources, it would be impossible for you not to find out. In fact, you’re probably the only one who could,” Xu Muyan said, as if she had expected it.
“Why did she want to go on a blind date with you?”
“She said she wanted to get married to me, and that I would have to promise to stay away from you forever,” Gu Zhi said, thinking. “Did you have some kind of relationship with her before?”
“Yes, but I don’t want to talk about it right now.”
“Then I won’t ask.”
Xu Muyan sighed and gave Gu Zhi a gentle glare.
Gu Zhi was taken aback. “What? Did I say something wrong?”
“No. It’s just… I’m happy talking to you,” Xu Muyan answered truthfully. Talking to Gu Zhi didn’t involve any corporate backstabbing, no deliberate exploitation from people with ulterior motives, and no one acting superior or inferior. She was straightforward and honest. She felt a sense of ease and joy.
Gu Zhi was so happy to hear the compliment she almost took off flying. She felt like she had sprouted a pair of pink wings. “Really?” She almost forgot what she was going to tell her about how to deal with Xu Ranzhi. “Now that Xu Ranzhi is here, how are you going to deal with her?”
“I don’t need to ‘deal’ with her.” Xu Muyan only said five words and glanced at the camera.
Gu Zhi patted her chest. “Don’t worry. I’ll talk to them. They won’t air what we’re talking about.” Even if she didn’t say anything, they wouldn’t dare.
Xu Muyan hummed, finished washing, and walked away. “Thank you for the braised pork you gave me. It was delicious.”
There were five rooms in the house. The two male betas were sharing a room. Gu Zhi and Wang Yang were in separate rooms. Xu Muyan planned to sleep alone. Xu Ranzhi didn’t dare to force her, so she went to another room.
The first day of filming was almost over. Gu Zhi finished tidying up the living room and went upstairs. Ji Mo was sitting in the living room on the second floor and raised his eyebrows at her. “All done?”
Gu Zhi politely waved at him. Ji Mo gracefully tossed his shoulder-length hair and gave her a seductive wink. His eyes looked a bit greasy. Gu Zhi’s stomach suddenly churned, and she rushed to the bathroom. Ji Mo snorted. “CEO Gu, you’d better watch out!”
Xu Ranzhi just came out of her room and saw the scene. She remembered what happened before. She called out, “Hey, do you want to go for a walk outside?”
Ji Mo replied, “I’m not interested in omegas.”
“What if I can get you the person you’re interested in?”
Ji Mo wasn’t stupid. He immediately understood what Xu Ranzhi meant. She wanted to help him get Gu Zhi. But didn’t she like Gu Zhi?
Xu Muyan was in her room, deep in thought for a while. She opened the window and saw Xu Ranzhi and Ji Mo walking downstairs. She didn’t leave and just watched them silently. Xu Ranzhi had too many secrets. No one could guess who she really was, her personality, or what she was thinking. Everything was too vague. She preferred Gu Zhi’s sincerity and straightforwardness.
“So you’re telling me all this to get revenge on Gu Zhi?” Ji Mo asked.
“That’s right. A person like Gu Zhi is so promiscuous. There’s no way she’s loyal in a relationship. She wants to come on a dating show, so I’ll make sure she loses completely.”
Ji Mo thought about it. The reason he liked Gu Zhi wasn’t just because she was pretty. It was also because he was interested in her money. If he became Chairman Gu’s son-in-law, even if they broke up, he would get a huge settlement. And he would have plenty of leverage to blackmail her. He would be set for life! “Don’t you like CEO Gu?”
“You know how some people, if they can’t have someone, they want to destroy them? I want to destroy Gu Zhi.” Xu Ranzhi wouldn’t tell Ji Mo that she was here for Xu Muyan. Her main goal was to make sure Gu Zhi didn’t succeed. Xu Muyan could only be hers!
“My dear Miss Xu, it seems you’re more unfathomable than you appear.”
“As long as I achieve my goal… what’s there to be unhappy about?”
