After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 35

Back home, heavily pregnant Xu Muyan lay in bed. Gu Zhi finished showering and slept behind her, gently embracing her from the back.

“I’m not going to work anymore,” Gu Zhi said.

Xu Muyan was slightly stunned. “But you still have a month until delivery, and your company is in the process of going public. Are you really not going to work?”

Gu Zhi stretched out a finger and pressed it against her lips, laughing. “Now all I can think about at the company is you. How can I possibly work? You don’t know that when I eat at the company, I wonder what you’ve eaten. When I go to the restroom, I wonder if you’re having trouble going. When I talk to others, I wonder if you’re lonely…”

Xu Muyan chuckled, feeling extremely sweet inside. “Alright.”

Gu Zhi asked, “What should we name the baby?”

Xu Muyan didn’t answer. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “I want it to include a character from both our names.”

“Then let’s call her Gu Zhimu, the Xu Muyan of Gu Zhi.” Gu Zhi buried her face in Xu Muyan’s neck.

Xu Muyan felt the warmth of her hand and gently kissed it. “The baby will definitely be the happiest child.”

Gu Zhi hugged her tightly. “And you are the happiest Omega.”

She swore she would never let Xu Muyan get hurt again. Xu Xun had reconciled, Yu Fan was defeated, and now there was Jiang Shiyi. No matter why Jiang Shiyi framed Xu Muyan, she would not let her get away with it!

Relying on their connections in H-City and the investigation into the old case, Gu Zhi and Xu Ranzhi quickly discovered that the source of the poison was abroad. Jiang Shiyi’s younger brother was clearly set up by Jiang Shiyi.

He admitted he wanted to kill the old CEO, but he was too cowardly. After drinking alcohol, he took a hangover powder, sprinkled it into a cup, drank it, and then went to sleep. Only upon waking up did he discover that his father had been poisoned after drinking plain water.

Xu Ranzhi, with the help of her friends abroad, had already investigated the origin of the poison while she was in A-City and quickly found the person who bought it: Jiang Shiyi.

Jiang Shiyi had deliberately poisoned the drink after her brother was drunk, and then superimposed the video of him putting the hangover powder into the drink onto the surveillance footage, leading her brother to believe he had inadvertently poisoned the old CEO.

But what Gu Zhi didn’t understand was why Jiang Shiyi’s brother also wanted to harm the old CEO. Could the old CEO have some dark secret?

The Jiang Residence. Lan Ziqin and Jiang Shiyi returned from outside. Jiang Shiyi held her hand.

Lan Ziqin laughed. “We’ve been holding hands ever since we left the house. Your palm is sweaty, and you still won’t let go. Don’t you trust me?”

Jiang Shiyi helped her take off her coat and considerately handed her slippers. “There were a lot of people outside. I was really worried you would get lost. Luckily, my darling is still home, so I need to hold your hand to feel more secure.”

Lan Ziqin chuckled. “Fine, you and your sweet talk.”

Before she could finish, a police siren suddenly sounded at the door. Lan Ziqin jumped in fright. “What’s going on?”

Jiang Shiyi shielded her, comforting her. “It’s nothing. Go hide upstairs.”

Lan Ziqin frowned. “No, I’m not going.”

The door was kicked open with a loud bang. The police officers entered, and Gu Zhi and Xu Ranzhi were among them. An officer yelled at Jiang Shiyi: “Jiang Shiyi, you schemed to have your brother poison your father, which resulted in your father, Jiang Zhe, still being hospitalized. We are here to arrest you!”

Jiang Shiyi’s eyes went blank. Lan Ziqin anxiously grabbed her sleeve. “Shiyi, what is this about?”

Gu Zhi sneered: “I’m sorry, Sister Ziqin. Jiang Shiyi harmed her father and must be punished by law!”

Lan Ziqin’s eyes became moist. “Shiyi, you…”

Jiang Shiyi threw her phone down heavily, furrowing her brow and sighing helplessly. She was an Alpha, a member of the Jiang family, the heir of the Jiang family! But her father had done such inhuman things.

When she was twelve, she personally witnessed her father walk into a hotel with a beautiful woman on his arm. While extramarital affairs and mistresses were common in every wealthy family, her father was not supposed to be like that.

Everyone knew her father was a good man, who loved his wife and protected his children, cooked, helped his wife with laundry, and was gentle with everyone he met. In the eyes of others, he was a rare “house-husband,” the best husband in the world.

But all of it was marketing!

Disbelieving, Jiang Shiyi followed them to the hotel entrance. The sounds of lust and degradation from inside instantly enraged her. She heavily kicked the door open, intending to scold her father.

Her father, who was only wearing an outer shirt, thought it was room service. In that instant, the eyes of the father and daughter met, quickly capturing a flash of awkwardness, surprise, and pain!

Jiang Shiyi saw the panic-stricken woman on the bed and knew her father was a scoundrel!

Returning home, she didn’t vent her anger loudly or cry to her mother, because she knew her mother wouldn’t be able to handle the truth.

Later, her father brought a five-year-old boy to their mother and daughter. Her father said, “Let’s get a divorce.” Her mother asked her, “Who do you want to go with?”

Jiang Shiyi shouted without hesitation, “I want to stay here!” Why did she want to stay? Because she knew her father’s assets far surpassed her mother’s; staying here was more beneficial. But that didn’t mean she didn’t love her mother.

Her mother didn’t cry or accuse her of being heartless. Instead, she smiled, a smile so relaxed and detached, as if she wasn’t her daughter at all. Finally, her mother left H-City.

Her father pointed to the little boy. “Child, this is your brother, Shier. Say hello to your sister quickly.”

Jiang Shier: “Hello, Sister.”

Twelve-year-old Jiang Shiyi learned to act. She smiled and stroked his head. “Hello, my little brother.”

From then on, Jiang Shiyi was the same as before: polite, gentle, and elegant, like a noble lady. But what they didn’t know was how much pain she held inside.

Because—she didn’t just have one brother. She had many illegitimate sisters and brothers. Their mothers had been charmed by their father’s charisma and wealth, and one night of passion created people who shouldn’t have been created.

Later, she suddenly discovered that she was not her father’s biological daughter, but the illegitimate child of her mother and the second daughter of the Gu family.

But her father didn’t know, and the second daughter didn’t know either. Her mother only told her when she returned to her hometown. Why would she say that? The fact was, her mother was also a selfish person; she wanted her daughter to suffer!

The second daughter of the Gu family was Gu Lan’s sister, and she had no children to this day. In other words, her only child was someone else’s. The Gu family currently had only one heir: Gu Zhi!

Did she hate Gu Zhi? Not necessarily. But hatred had its costs.

At fifteen, Jiang Shiyi welcomed a new sister. At eighteen, Jiang Shiyi welcomed a new brother. They were like tools born from a reproductive machine, masterpieces that satisfied their father. Those who didn’t satisfy him either became beggars or were just ordinary office workers.

But her father seemed to notice that she didn’t resemble him at all. He stroked Jiang Shiyi’s face. “I travel all the time, so I haven’t had a good look at you. Shiyi, you’ve become more and more beautiful as you’ve grown, but how is it you don’t resemble me at all?”

Jiang Shiyi: “Then who do you think I look like?”

Her father laughed and said he didn’t know.

Jiang Shiyi also smiled. She knew his denial was just a businessman’s courtesy. With some discreet investigation, he would surely find out.

By then, she wouldn’t even be able to get her hands on the Jiang family inheritance. The company she had worked so hard to manage would be handed over to someone else!

So, she calculated how to deal with her father. The scheme was simple: poison. Frame her brother for the poisoning. Her father became a vegetable and remained unconscious in bed. Her brother was locked up in a detention center. And she remained the high-profile heir of the Jiang family!

Everyone was unaware of everything she had done.

But there was one person who knew.

It was Xu Muyan. As Xu Muyan was walking out of a hotel, she saw Jiang Shiyi receiving the poison from a foreigner in an alley. Their eyes met, but the encounter quickly ended. Fortunately, Jiang Shiyi was wearing a hat and mask.

However, she was filled with anxiety when she went home. She was afraid. She was truly afraid that Xu Muyan would remember something.

Xu Muyan knew the methods, but she didn’t intervene, because she had no idea what Jiang Shiyi was doing. Besides, what could she do to point out that what others were doing was wrong? Thus, she gradually forgot about it.

But Jiang Shiyi was a meticulous person. She thought about this matter for a long, long time. Even when she met Xu Muyan, she could glean many unnecessary messages from her face. She originally thought Xu Muyan wouldn’t know, but Xu Muyan was an actress. What if she was faking it?

The more she thought about it, the less she could sleep at night. No, Xu Muyan must not speak of this! Therefore, she wanted to ruin Xu Muyan’s reputation and make it impossible for her to stay in the entertainment industry.

That way, she would have a better way to deal with her. After all, the status of a Movie Queen was conspicuous, and any meddling could easily draw suspicion.

But the appearance of her blood relative, her cousin Gu Zhi, completely ruined her plan. So, she suddenly felt intense hatred for Gu Zhi. Why was Gu Zhi living so well when she was so miserable?

With that thought, Jiang Shiyi hugged Lan Ziqin tightly. She asked, “Do you still like this version of me?”

Lan Ziqin’s voice trembled: “Let me ask… ask you first, have you ever liked me?”

Jiang Shiyi’s eyes were red. She pursed her lips and sighed again. “Do you think… a ruthless person like me would like you? Isn’t it just because you’re beautiful?”

Lan Ziqin shook her head. “No, no! You do like me.”

Jiang Shiyi said no more. Her arms were already cuffed by the police. She could only shout in frustration, “What use is liking you!” Her voice was choked with sobs. “I’m sorry. I let you down.”

After Jiang Shiyi was taken away, everything felt quiet for Gu Zhi. Her evil deeds would naturally be repaid!

Ding-a-ling-ling— Gu Zhi picked up her phone.

Gu Lan said anxiously, “You reckless kid, what are you doing! Muyan is giving birth!”

Muyan!! Baby!! Gu Zhi quickly rushed to the hospital. Her child was about to be born!

When she arrived at the hospital, Gu Lan anxiously hit her. “You kid, weren’t you supposed to be taking care of Muyan this month? Why are you only showing up now?”

Gu Zhi stammered: “Didn’t Sister still have a few days before her due date?”

Gao Qi said: “The doctor said the baby was too active, which caused the water to break.”

Gu Zhi was terrified: “Is Sister alright?”

Gu Lan: “The doctor said she’s fine.”

A few hours later, the doctor came out: “The mother and baby are fine. You all—”

Before the doctor could finish, Gu Zhi dashed inside, shouting, “My wife is okay, hahahaha!”

The doctor: “Does this child not care about her own baby?”

Gu Lan and Gao Qi said awkwardly: “She might love her wife too much.”

Xu Muyan’s face was pale after the surgery, but her eyes brightened when she saw Gu Zhi arrive. Gu Zhi, who hadn’t cried before, was now crying incessantly: “Sister, are you alright? We’re not having any more babies in the future.”

Xu Muyan wanted to laugh but didn’t have the strength. “Why are you crying? We are both fine.”

Gu Zhi continued to cry: “Seeing you like this, how can you be fine?”

The nurse: “Would you like to see the baby?”

No one responded… Gu Zhi continued to squat by Xu Muyan’s bed and comfort her.

The nurse twitched the corner of her mouth: “Are you really not going to see the baby?”

It wasn’t until Xu Muyan gently patted Gu Zhi that she snapped out of it.

Gu Zhi, as if waking from a dream: “Baby, is it a boy or a girl?”

The nurse: “Since both of you are women, didn’t you give birth to a girl?”

Gu Zhi burst into laughter: “It’s a girl!”

The nurse: “…” Is this person an idiot?

Gu Zhi gently held the baby. The baby had just been born and couldn’t open her eyes. But Gu Zhi was still moved to tears: “My Mu-baby is born. This is my Sister’s and my Mu-baby.”
