After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 45

The Xu family held a family meeting. Xu Ranzhi and Xu Yang, who was still studying abroad, were also hurriedly summoned. Xu Xun sat on the right, Su Xiaoyue sat on the left, and Su Ruoqiang sat in the center.

Xu Ranzhi glanced over, her fingers instinctively tightening.

Su Ruoqiang pounded the table and coughed: “Ranzhi, don’t work in H-City anymore, come to the headquarters. And Yangyang, stop studying abroad. You say you’re studying, but in reality, you’re just wasting time at bars and nightclubs and dating!”

Xu Yang dared not speak, looking helplessly at Su Xiaoyue. He was stunned: “Mom, you’re out?”

Su Xiaoyue snorted: “What, you didn’t want to see me? However, Ranzhi is still conscientious. She visits me almost every six months. As for this unfilial son, what’s the point of spending money and drifting through life all day long?”

Xu Ranzhi was silent for a moment and asked: “Grandpa, why do you want us to stay in A-City?”

Su Ruoqiang smiled coldly: “It’s all because your father stirred up trouble with a daughter outside!”

Xu Ranzhi was stunned, lowering her head and remaining silent. In the next second, what Su Ruoqiang said disgusted Xu Ranzhi.

“Ranzhi, you need to find a way to spread negative rumors about Xu Muyan. I want to make it impossible for her to advance in the entertainment industry.”

Xu Ranzhi said wearily: “What’s the point of spreading rumors? The Gu family’s public relations power is strong. They can prevent Xu Muyan from getting into trouble.” Xu Ranzhi naturally didn’t want to spread rumors about Xu Muyan. She just felt that this family was too vicious.

Su Xiaoyue frowned: “Ranzhi, how dare you speak to your grandfather like that? Show some respect!”

Su Ruoqiang didn’t mind: “I will make them suffer.”

Xu Xun poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Ruoqiang: “Dad, have some water.”

Su Ruoqiang saw that he was being thoughtful, as before, and drank it to save face. Then he fiercely spat it out, raging: “What are you? You dare to serve me tea!”

Xu Xun looked at the tea spilled all over the floor. The nanny tried to clean it up but was stopped by Su Xiaoyue. Su Ruoqiang pressed down on Xu Xun’s neck, lifting him up gently like a puppy. In front of his children and wife, Xu Xun had no semblance of a CEO or father, being completely overpowered by Su Ruoqiang.

“Xu Xun, I’ve always resented what happened before. All the wealth and glory in your life were given to you by our Su family! Don’t play tricks on me. Xu Muyan is your daughter, but she is not my granddaughter. I am only sparing you now because you are the father of my two grandchildren!”

Xu Xun gasped, looking at his wife and children staring at him. Su Xiaoyue showed a sarcastic smile, forcing him to swallow his anger.

…

—Be careful of the Su family!

In the past five years, this was the first time Xu Ranzhi had sent a message to Gu Zhi. Gu Zhi almost forgot that she hadn’t blocked her.

—I already know about the Su family.

—I don’t want them to see that I’m resisting yet. After all, I need to know all their next steps. So, you must protect my sister well.

Gu Zhi yawned.

—Muyan is lucky to have a sister like you.

Xu Ranzhi didn’t reply. Gu Zhi thought she must be touched by her words.

The next day, a major trending search suddenly exploded. Movie Queen Xu Muyan, who married into the wealthy Gu family, turned out to be the illegitimate daughter of the Chairman of Junze’s Xu family.

[What!! The Movie Queen is actually the illegitimate daughter of the Junze Chairman? No wonder I thought his daughter and the Movie Queen looked somewhat alike!]

[How despicable! I heard Xu Xun abandoned his wife and child for money. The Movie Queen was less than one year old when Xu Xun ran off with his mistress.]

[The Movie Queen is too pitiful. Fortunately, she has CEO Gu. Xu Xun, you are such a scumbag!!]

[I’m just saying, there’s so much celebrity gossip among the wealthy. Do you really believe Xu Xun is a clean and good husband and father? Wasn’t Yu Ye and Jiang Zhe the same type of person?]

[Regardless, I pity the Movie Queen. I hope CEO Gu treats her well.]

[Xu Xun, you scumbag! Junze is not a good company. I want to file a complaint!!]

Gu Zhi looked at the trending search on Weibo, without a hint of a smile on her lips.

Xu Xun, Su Xiaoyue, Su Ruoqiang, you really don’t treat Jiejie like a human being. Since that’s the case, I will completely ruin your reputation!

As long as the public knew that Xu Muyan was the illegitimate daughter abandoned by Xu Xun, they would turn their fire toward Xu Xun. If they dared to bully Xu Muyan, they would be labeled as heartless and unjust!

Xu Xun was greatly surprised to see the trending search. Su Ruoqiang immediately called and scolded: “What is going on? Xu Xun, are you behind this?”

Xu Xun clenched his fist and retorted: “I have absolutely no idea why this suddenly exploded!”

Su Ruoqiang, however, believed that Xu Xun was behind it all and hurled insults: “I told you a gold-digger like you is useless except for latching onto the rich!”

Xu Xun’s mind buzzed. He hated being called a gold-digger more than anything. Why were they born into wealth and called princes and princesses of noble families, while he had to work hard and still be called a gold-digger? These rich kids got all the benefits, while the poor were taught to strive to succeed. In fact, your effort means nothing in the face of capital!

The door to Gu Zhi’s office was unceremoniously pushed open. Gu Zhi said coldly: “In broad daylight, you just rush in without telling your boss?!”

Xu Muyan took off her sunglasses, shedding her maternal appearance and looking like the untouchable beauty she was the first time they met. Xu Muyan sat on the sofa and said coldly: “Can’t I come in?”

Gu Zhi was surprised and quickly put on a smiling face, massaging her shoulders. She laughed: “Jiejie, why didn’t you let me know you were coming?”

Xu Muyan just smiled calmly and sat on her lap. Her fingers randomly and lightly tapped Gu Zhi’s face. She smiled alluringly: “Did you miss me?”

Gu Zhi’s smile suddenly stiffened: “Didn’t we just do it this morning? Only three hours have passed.” It felt strange for Xu Muyan to say such a thing.

Xu Muyan hugged her tightly, her lips almost touching hers. Gu Zhi suddenly felt excited and picked up the smart remote control to close the curtains. She smiled mischievously: “Jiejie, do you want to play office play with me?” As she spoke, she gently pinched Xu Muyan’s waist.

Xu Muyan gasped and frowned: “All you think about is things like this!”

Gu Zhi took off her exquisite suit jacket. The suit made her look cold and reserved, and the more reserved she looked, the more Gu Zhi wanted to conquer her. She whispered in her ear: “Why not?”

After their intimacy, Xu Muyan calmly put on her jacket. Gu Zhi watched her from the sofa. Xu Muyan looked like the powerful CEO of a major corporation, and she looked like the innocent little assistant who had been taken advantage of. It would be even more perfect if Xu Muyan gave her money!

Gu Zhi hugged her waist and asked: “Why did you come here to find me?” In her memory, Xu Muyan rarely visited.

Xu Muyan said softly: “I already know about the Weibo situation.”

Gu Zhi was slightly stunned: “I apologize for not discussing it with you. I was too eager to do this. You…”

Xu Muyan suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: “It’s okay. I like that you did this.”

Gu Zhi was surprised: “Jiejie, you…”

Xu Muyan smiled: “I’ve thought about it for a long time. Since Xu Xun and Su Xiaoyue are so eager to destroy us, we shouldn’t just sit and wait. I want Xu Xun to know that once he offends us, he will never have a good life.”

“Zhi-Zhi, give the order to make the situation as big as possible. Even if I sacrifice my career, I want Xu Xun to pay the price.”

In Gu Zhi’s eyes, Xu Muyan had always been the image of a noble beauty or a gentle snow lotus. After having a child, she became even more motherly, almost saintly. But it was only now that Gu Zhi truly understood Xu Muyan’s ambition.

What she didn’t know was that Xu Muyan had always been this way, fighting hard to get resources and not publicizing dishonorable things, focusing on her own self-interest. It was just the “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” effect that made Gu Zhi think Xu Muyan was perfect in every way.

Gu Zhi: “I wanted public opinion to put pressure on the Xu and Su families. All the comments now are speaking ill of them. Don’t worry, Wife.”

Xu Muyan said: “I know your intentions. I just want you to make it bigger. The Xu and Su families care about appearances. The bigger the scandal, the more panicked they will be, and the happier I will be to watch.”

“But listening to you, I get the feeling that Jiejie sometimes doesn’t want her career in the entertainment industry anymore?”

Xu Muyan was silent for a moment before saying: “I want Junze.”

…

The public opinion about the matter was still fermenting. Junze had been facing embarrassment these past few days. Xu Muyan was still filming, and the people around her were discussing her. The illegitimate daughter of a wealthy corporation’s CEO was, after all, big news. But fortunately, Xu Muyan’s status was very high, so those people didn’t dare to discuss it openly. The only difference was that most people were just cursing Xu Xun for being a scumbag. This was exactly as Gu Zhi had expected.

“Madam, do you want to go home?” Gu Zhi had specifically arranged for a dozen bodyguards to guard Xu Muyan every day.

Xu Muyan saw a car on the street—it was the Xu family’s car. Xu Muyan walked over and told the bodyguards: “If I don’t come out in half an hour, follow us.”

She got into the car and saw Xu Xun’s ecstatic face. A flash of impatience crossed Xu Muyan’s eyes. She said coldly: “What do you want?”

Xu Xun sighed: “Muyan, I don’t know why the trending search on Weibo exploded. I investigated, and it seems CEO Gu did it?”

Xu Xun seemed to be testing the waters. Xu Muyan said calmly: “What she does has nothing to do with me!”

Xu Xun was clearly surprised that Xu Muyan would speak to him like that. Not only that, but she seemed completely like a stranger, acting as if it didn’t concern her. Xu Xun quietly observed her for a while, then smiled: “It’s been hard on you and Ah Yan all these years. I’ve decided to tell the media that I want to acknowledge you.”

Xu Muyan’s bright eyes flickered, then darkened, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips: “Xu Xun, you want to acknowledge me now? Where were you fifteen years ago? But the question is, am I your daughter? Do I need your acknowledgment?”

Xu Xun was stunned and said anxiously: “Muyan, I’ve always considered you my daughter, but because of Su Xiaoyue, I couldn’t see you and your mother. I thought about you all the time! I wanted to wait for the right moment… especially when I gained real control of the company, I could…”

Xu Muyan frowned. How many lies did this man have?

“Xu Xun, I told you five years ago, we are strangers. I only share your blood, but I am not your daughter! You chased wealth and glory and abandoned so much true affection. I am ashamed of you!” Xu Muyan opened the door and walked out without another word.

Unexpectedly, a car on the opposite side suddenly sped toward her. It was about to hit Xu Muyan. Just then, Xu Xun suddenly hugged Xu Muyan and turned around. The car’s impact was enormous. Xu Xun shielded Xu Muyan, not wanting her to be harmed in the slightest, but he himself hit the side railing and immediately fell unconscious.

The bodyguards immediately ran over. The captain, Mo Zhifan, asked: “Madam, are you alright?”

Xu Muyan shook her head: “I’m fine.” She looked at the unconscious Xu Xun, and couldn’t help but clench her hand.

In the hospital, Xu Xun woke up and saw Xu Muyan looking at him expressionlessly. He said with a mix of surprise and joy: “Muyan, are you alright?”

Xu Muyan’s voice trembled: “Xu Xun, are you sick? Why did you save me?”

Xu Xun smiled: “Because you are my daughter. Who else would I save if not my daughter? My daughter, please promise me. I will definitely hold a press conference soon to admit you are my daughter. It would be even better if you were there.”

Xu Muyan shook her head coldly: “I won’t go. I will never admit you are my father. We are strangers. Don’t you understand?”

Xu Xun, who was smiling, suddenly looked heartbroken: “I never forgot about you… I hate Su Xiaoyue, I hate Su Ruoqiang, but I never hated you. You are my family!”

“I still remember meeting Ah Yan on the dilapidated campus. We had no money, so we could only eat the beef noodles Ah Yan liked. I gave her lots and lots of beef, and she smiled so happily… I said this was our dating spot, and we would bring our child here someday.”

“She agreed, but I never brought you. To make up for this regret, can we meet as a family of three?”

“Stop talking!” Xu Muyan’s eyes were red, and she couldn’t help but roar: “All you love is your money!”

“It was, because I wanted you to live more comfortably… but now, I just want to have you… By the way, you have a daughter too, right? As a grandfather, I really want to see her…”

“Xu Xun, did you forget you have two other children?” Gu Zhi’s voice came from the doorway. She saw that Xu Muyan was quite agitated and immediately hugged her.

Xu Muyan felt her emotions slowly calm down as Gu Zhi approached her. She asked: “Zhi-Zhi, why are you here?”

“I have people inform me of everything. I was worried that Xu Xun might try some tricks on you.” Gu Zhi took off her coat and draped it over Xu Muyan, afraid she would catch a chill.

Xu Xun smiled: “CEO Gu, thank you for taking care of Muyan all these years.”

“No need to thank me. It’s what I should do, CEO Xu!” Gu Zhi glanced coldly: “Don’t look for Muyan anymore. You are not close at all. If the media catches you, it will cause a stir again. As for our daughter, why should a stranger meet her?”

Xu Xun’s eyes widened, then he coughed: “CEO Gu, you should know that Su Ruoqiang wants to target your Gu family, right?”

Gu Zhi said calmly: “I am well aware that the Su family has deep roots and extensive connections. I appreciate your concern, CEO Xu.”

“As Muyan’s father, I won’t let the Su family target the Gu family. I will definitely let you know if I hear any news in the future!”

“Thank you!” Gu Zhi left those two polite words and ushered Xu Muyan away.
