After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 33

Xu Muyan’s belly was getting bigger, and she was completely unable to go out to work. Gu Zhi canceled many unnecessary commercial activities and moved her quitting time up to five o’clock. The entire company was talking about how much Gu Zhi doted on her wife.

Employee 1: “CEO Gu is too much in love with the Movie Queen. If my husband were like that, I’d wake up laughing in my sleep!”

Employee 2: “They used to say CEO Gu was faking his kindness to the Movie Queen, a hypocrite, but which hypocrite could be so thorough?”

Employee 3: “It looks like CEO Gu was right to participate in the reality show. She definitely needed to clear her name and make those haters open their eyes!”

On her way home from work, Gu Zhi was looking at her phone screen.

—I want dessert now —Puppy aggrieved.jpg

The pregnant Xu Muyan had developed a stronger sweet tooth. Gu Zhi smiled.

—Buy, buy, buy for you!

Xu Muyan turned off her phone and smiled to herself. This woman spoiled her so much even before she was pregnant. If she suddenly stopped spoiling her, Xu Muyan would be a little sad.

Gu Zhi went into a dessert shop and carefully selected a few items, finding that several of the desserts looked tempting. Should I buy every single one?

But Xu Muyan couldn’t possibly eat that much. If she couldn’t finish it, Gu Zhi would have to help out. But then she looked at her arm, which had gotten fatter. I’m almost a pig myself.

How can I be greedy? So Gu Zhi bought three small desserts.

She suddenly heard Lan Ziqin’s voice. “Shiyi, do you think this one looks good?”

Gu Zhi looked up and met Jiang Shiyi’s gaze. Lan Ziqin asked in surprise, “CEO Gu, why are you here? Buying food for Muyan?”

Gu Zhi smiled. “Oh, nothing.”

Every time, Jiang Shiyi’s eyes filled her with doubt, shock, and fear. She was like a bottomless abyss, staring back at you.

Lost in thought, she had arrived home. As soon as Gu Zhi returned, the nanny would leave, to avoid disturbing the young couple’s private time. Gu Zhi asked the nanny, “Has Madam been in a bad mood recently?”

The nanny thought for a moment. “Madam is very kind, CEO Gu, don’t worry. It’s just the morning sickness that makes her spirits a little low.”

Gu Zhi felt a pang of sympathy. She knew the pain of pregnancy, which was as severe as any other pain level. “I understand.”

Xu Muyan was happy to know Gu Zhi was back, but she had just had a bout of morning sickness and her body was uncomfortable. She was lying lazily on the soft sofa and barely lifted her eyes. “You’re back?”

Gu Zhi sat beside her and massaged her. “I came back to see my dear little baby.”

Xu Muyan laughed. “Naughty.”

Gu Zhi smiled even wider, feeling only warmth in her heart.

One night, Gu Zhi was still working late when she suddenly received a call from the mental hospital.

“Hello?”

“Is Xue Yan your relative?”

Gu Zhi answered without thinking. “Isn’t that obvious? Why else would I invest 500,000 to have you take good care of her?”

The person’s voice trembled slightly. “The patient named Xue Yan secretly ran away. We can’t find her anywhere. After checking the surveillance, we found out she was carried into a car by a few men in black. So, I had to call you.”

Gu Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. “Who took her?”

“I don’t know. I only know they looked very imposing, seemingly from a wealthy family.”

Gu Zhi couldn’t help but recall how Xue Yan had injured Xu Xun, and Xu Xun had angrily threatened her not to live well. Since Xu Ranzhi said Su Xiao did it last time, this time it must be Xu Xun personally sending people to teach Xue Yan a lesson.

It would be worse if Sister found out. She was pregnant; she couldn’t handle such a shock. These people truly are all cut from the same cloth. They act like bandits. Are their brains broken?!

“Hello, Xiao Han, arrange a car for me. I need to go to the Junze Xu family mansion.”

The Xu family. The wound Xue Yan inflicted was not serious. Xu Xun just went to the hospital for a tetanus shot and a bandage and returned to recuperate. Su Xiao brewed him tea and asked, “Does the wound still hurt?”

Xu Xun rested his hand on the armrest, his expression flat. “It’s fine.”

Su Xiao looked angry. “Xue Yan is truly terrible. Not only is she short-tempered, but she also has a mental illness. It’s a good thing you distanced yourself from her early, or you’d be dead by now.”

Xu Xun snorted. “You can’t completely blame her. Actually…” He stopped, feeling a little guilty.

Su Xiao hugged her arms and smiled. “So you think it’s our fault?”

Xu Xun: “I didn’t mean that.”

Su Xiao: “Xu Xun, you’ve achieved what you have because of my family’s support. You couldn’t even afford a bowl of beef noodles back then!”

Xu Xun felt a sting in his heart and remained silent.

“Dad, Mom!” Their Alpha son, Xu Yang, walked in and called out. “I want to buy a Radar motorcycle. A few hundred thousand is fine.”

Su Xiao scolded him. “Why are you always buying things? Didn’t I give you a million last month? You said you would study hard, and what happened?”

Xu Yang was twenty-one, but his speech was incredibly childish. “I don’t want to study now. I just want to go out and play.”

Su Xiao was annoyed. “You should learn from Jiang Shiyi of the Jiang family. She graduated from all those prestigious universities and is capable of everything. You can tell she’s a noble lady without even looking.”

Xu Xun snorted. “He can’t even compare to Ranzhi. Ranzhi is so excellent, capable of establishing a company on her own. He can only destroy one company after another.”

Xu Yang sneered. “What’s so great about my sister? All the family property will eventually go to me… Oh no, I’m going back to sleep first.”

Xu Xun frowned. “Look at the good son you’ve raised!”

Su Xiao took a sip of water. “He is the Xu family’s only Alpha son, after all. The family property will naturally go to him. That’s better than your daughter, who’s a public bus in the entertainment industry!”

Xu Xun paused and didn’t speak.

The landline rang: “Mr. Xu, Madam, CEO Gu of Wanzhong Company is here to visit.”

Xu Xun was surprised. “CEO Gu came?”

Su Xiao’s face suddenly turned pale. She whispered, “It’s over.”

Gu Zhi entered and exchanged pleasantries. “What brings young CEO Gu to our humble abode?” Xu Xun shook her hand and chuckled. He had heard about the relationship between Xu Muyan and Gu Zhi.

Although the dating show was half-real and half-fake, it was rumored that Xu Muyan hadn’t filmed in a long time, which confirmed they were not only together but that Xu Muyan might also be pregnant.

His own biological daughter is with someone who has such a notorious reputation. It seems Su Xiao was right; she just entered the entertainment industry to be a public bus!

Gu Zhi went straight to the point. “Mr. Xu, the incident where Ms. Xue Yan injured you was because of a psychiatric episode. It wasn’t intentional. I’m apologizing to you on her behalf. I brought many gifts to express our apologies.”

Su Xiao snorted. “Although this woman is crazy, the intention to kill us has long been rooted in her mind. A psychiatric episode? I think that’s nonsense!”

Gu Zhi smiled. “But I took her to a mental hospital, and the doctor said she has bipolar disorder. However, she was indeed in the wrong, and it is fortunate that Mr. Xu is blessed with good fortune.”

Xu Xun: “CEO Gu, what is the meaning of this?”

“But—” Gu Zhi changed the subject. “Xue Yan was previously kidnapped, and her daughter, Xu Muyan, was also taken. After I rescued her, I placed her in a mental hospital. Now, she’s been kidnapped again. I… I wonder who hates her this much?”

Xu Xun frowned. “Is CEO Gu implying that I took her?! CEO Gu was surely present at that auction. I was injured, and I angrily told her to leave A-City, but I never told anyone to do anything to her or her daughter!”

Gu Zhi sneered. “I know Mr. Xu wouldn’t do that, but others might not. Moreover—” Gu Zhi turned the conversation again. “Mr. Xu, you are truly heartless. Muyan is still your blood relative.”

Xu Xun didn’t speak, his face instantly turning pale. He looked at the nervous Su Xiao and asked, “Xiao Yue, was it you?”

Su Xiao gritted her teeth. “That woman will harm you for life. I couldn’t let her live in this world!”

“You’ve done so many wrong things, and you still won’t admit it?” A cold voice came from the doorway. Xu Muyan, with her five-month pregnant belly, walked in.

Gu Zhi exclaimed in surprise, “Sister, why are you here?”

Xu Muyan walked over. “Since you bought off my manager, I can buy off your secretary.”

Gu Zhi cursed Han Yun silently. That bastard.

Xu Xun’s tone became hesitant, and his eyes showed great disturbance. “What are you doing here?”

Xu Muyan sneered. “I—am—look—ing—for—my—bio—lo—gi—cal—mother!” Xu Muyan enunciated each word, and Xu Xun’s face grew even paler.

Su Xiao swore. “Xu Muyan, we don’t welcome you into the Xu family. Get out, or I’ll call the police.”

Gu Zhi scoffed. “You’re someone else’s mistress and you’ve kidnapped Xue Yan twice. Who are you going to call the police on?”

Su Xiao suddenly froze and shook her head. “How is that possible? I only kidnapped her once!” She immediately regretted speaking so quickly.

Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow. “So you did kidnap her?” She was instantly puzzled. If that’s the case, then who was responsible for the first time? Neither Su Xiao nor Xu Xun?

“Hand over my mother!” Xu Muyan said coldly, clarifying each word. At this moment, she was no longer the long-suffering person from a decade ago. She had someone silently supporting her, giving her the courage to speak out.

Su Xiao swung her palm. “You wretched woman, what are you yelling about!”

Gu Zhi quickly grabbed her hand, and her other hand, without control, slapped Su Xiao. The crisp sound echoed throughout the room. Xu Yang heard the commotion downstairs and rushed down to see, shouting, “What are you doing!” He was immediately stunned by a glare from Gu Zhi and hid behind the sofa, glaring at Gu Zhi.

Su Xiao’s hair was messy. She held her stung cheek, unwilling to give up. “Gu Zhi, don’t think you can shout at the Xu and Su families just because you’re from the Gu Group!”

Gu Zhi supported Xu Muyan with one hand and shouted coldly, “You mistress, you are not qualified to speak to me like that! You’ve disgraced the entire Su family with your shameless behavior! The person the Su family should hate is actually you! If I tell the Su family what you’ve done, where will you hide your face!”

Xu Xun roared, “Enough! CEO Gu, this is the Xu family home, not a place for you to cause trouble!”

Xu Muyan mocked him in disbelief. “Xu Xun, are you still so deluded? Su Xiao is certainly wrong, terribly and hatefully wrong, but you—you are more despicable and depraved than her! You only know how to hide behind two women, concealing your most base behavior! You sucked up to the Su family for position and wealth, abandoning my mother and me. You haven’t sent a single inquiry in over ten years. In my eyes, you are a cowardly, responsibility-shirking Alpha who only knows how to live in shame!”

Xu Xun hadn’t seen his eldest daughter in a long time. Aside from a few videos he saw on TV, he couldn’t remember her clearly. The truth was, to be with Su Xiao, he had long abandoned his responsibilities as a husband and a father. The persona of a ruthless opportunist had taken over his heart, just as now he didn’t even like Su Xiao, but still had to live with her for status and wealth.

Xu Xun said guiltily, “But, your mother…”

Xu Muyan said coldly, “My mother was never a lunatic as you claimed. She was a gentle person before she married you. But you caused her so much pain. You never cared for her or loved her, letting her break down because of you every day. No one could endure that, and yet you use the excuse that she’s a lunatic, which is why you looked for another mistress, to cover up your actions! Xu Xun, you are truly wicked!”

Xu Xun said nothing, his cheek feeling as if Xu Muyan had violently slapped him. He could be sure that Xue Yan was indeed gentle before they married. He had loved Xue Yan for being gentle, domestically skilled, and generous.

The next moment, Xu Muyan actually did slap him.

Gu Zhi cried out in alarm, “Oh no, Sister, does your hand hurt?”
