After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 48

The next day, the whole family went to the amusement park.

Mu Baobao insisted on sitting on Gu Zhi’s neck. Gu Zhi thought if Mu Baobao didn’t sit now, she definitely wouldn’t be able to when she grew up, so she quickly lifted her onto her shoulders. Mu Baobao held an ice cream cone in one hand and a pinwheel in the other, cheering: “Mummy, look, I’m flying!”

Xu Muyan said helplessly: “Don’t move around too much. What if you press down on Mummy?”

Gu Zhi held Mu Baobao with both hands to prevent her from falling, chuckling: “It’s fine, the baby is very light.”

Xu Muyan could only smile. The family of three walked toward the rollercoaster. Previously, Gu Zhi hadn’t gone on it because she thought Xu Muyan was still pregnant. Later, Xu Muyan pulled her to ride it, so she guessed Xu Muyan must really like it.

She took Xu Muyan’s hand: “Sister, do you want to ride?”

Xu Muyan: “Since we’re here, let’s go for one.”

Gu Zhi curved her lips and smiled: “Then, we’ll—”

Mu Baobao tugged at Gu Zhi’s hair and pointed to herself. Gu Zhi winced in pain and handed her to Han Yun: “You are still too young, you can’t ride this!”

Mu Baobao cried loudly: “I want to ride with Mama and Mummy!”

Han Yun looked at Xu Muyan, torn. Xu Muyan sighed: “Xiao Han, take Mu Baobao to buy some ice cream.”

At the mention of ice cream, Mu Baobao immediately stopped crying and giggled: “I want ice cream!”

Gu Zhi finally felt at ease taking Xu Muyan up. However, by the time they got on, one round had already finished, so Gu Zhi and Xu Muyan were in the front row. Gu Zhi suddenly felt her heart beating wildly and gripped Xu Muyan’s hand even tighter.

Before the car even started moving, Gu Zhi’s voice was already shaking as she cried out: “Why do I have to sit in the front row, wuwuwu~”

Pfft— Xu Muyan burst out laughing without reservation. Seeing Gu Zhi’s distress, she covered her mouth to suppress her laughter. She flipped her hand, gripping Gu Zhi’s hand even tighter than before, and gently comforted her: “It’s alright. It’ll be over soon.”

Gu Zhi felt slightly relieved by Xu Muyan’s words. The car started and slowly climbed the slope. Gu Zhi could see what people below were doing. She surprisingly spotted Han Yun and Mu Baobao in the dense crowd. Mu Baobao was licking her ice cream and looking up at them.

Gu Zhi swallowed, summoning all her strength to shout: “Sister, I don’t regret riding this rollercoaster with you—Aahhhhhhh—”

With that, the car plunged down, and Gu Zhi’s screams echoed throughout the amusement park. In the end, Xu Muyan had to personally help her walk out. Gu Zhi’s face was covered in tear stains, and she mumbled: “Thank goodness, thank goodness.”

Xu Muyan, however, looked exhilarated. The rollercoaster didn’t frighten her at all; instead, it made her even more lively. The accumulated frustration of the past few days was instantly washed away by the thrill and excitement of the ride, leaving her feeling exhilarated. She immediately pulled Gu Zhi toward the Giant Pendulum ride, running and laughing: “Zhi-Zhi, I want to ride again!”

Gu Zhi was immersed in Xu Muyan’s smile. At this moment, Xu Muyan didn’t look like a mother at all; instead, she gave Gu Zhi a sense of youthful energy. She seemed to see the high school version of Xu Muyan. Back then, Xu Muyan was quiet and reserved, weighed down by her mother’s abnormal pressure. The painful experiences of her childhood had kept her trapped. But it was different now. She was a little girl living in a loving family, spoiled by Gu Zhi, loved by Mu Baobao, with a playful heart. If she had the chance, Gu Zhi wished she could have met her in high school, allowed her to be carefree, and enjoy a few more years of happiness.

Xu Muyan asked: “Zhi-Zhi, do you want to ride the Giant Pendulum? If not, I’ll go alone.”

“No!” Gu Zhi suddenly hugged her: “I want to ride with Sister. Where you are, I will be!”

Two hours later.

Han Yun was sweating profusely, holding Mu Baobao as he walked over. These two finally finished playing! Mu Baobao whined softly, reaching out for Gu Zhi to hold her: “Mummy, hug~ Tummy, hungry~”

Xu Muyan rubbed Mu Baobao’s little belly: “What should we eat tonight?”

“Let’s go home. I’ll cook.” Gu Zhi pursed her lips: “Let’s go to the market to buy groceries.”

Xu Muyan’s eyes flickered, then lit up, and she nodded. Gu Zhi thought of going to the market. She was actually thinking of the time during the dating show when she and Xu Muyan went grocery shopping. Even then, she had thought that if she could hold Xu Muyan’s hand with one hand and their child with the other, it would be the happiest moment.

Sure enough, it came true today. It was Mu Baobao’s first time at the market. Although the air was occasionally pungent with the smell of fish, making her pinch her nose, she was ultimately delighted to see all the different kinds of vegetables.

“What do you want to eat, Mu Baobao?” Gu Zhi asked.

Mu Baobao pointed to a chicken leg: “I want to eat this.” She pointed to a type of mushroom: “And this too.” She pointed back and forth more than a dozen times.

Xu Muyan realized Mu Baobao just wanted to eat whatever looked good, so she lectured: “We can’t waste food.”

Mu Baobao nodded, carefully selecting items. Suddenly, she saw someone and shouted with surprise: “Lianlian, I’m over here!”

It turned out to be Xu Feng, who was out shopping with Xu Lian. Xu Lian heard Mu Baobao’s voice and was both surprised and happy, waving to her: “Mumu, I’m here!”

Xu Feng exclaimed: “CEO Gu, Movie Queen Xu, I didn’t expect you to be shopping at the market.”

Gu Zhi chuckled: “I didn’t expect a big singer like you to be out shopping with your baby either.”

Xu Feng: “Well, my husband urged me. He wants to cook personally. How about we get together?”

Xu Lian clapped her hands: “Get together! Get together!”

Xu Muyan and Gu Zhi couldn’t refuse, so they agreed. Mu Baobao, however, said thoughtfully: “Mama, Mummy, when can we get together with Sister Yue?”

Hearing “Sister Yue,” Xu Lian was slightly confused. Who was the Sister Yue that Mu Baobao was talking about?

They had dinner at Xu Feng’s house. Afterward, Xu Lian took Mu Baobao to the play room to build blocks. Mu Baobao was startled by the toys inside, then shouted in surprise: “Wow, why do you have so many toys?”

Xu Lian giggled: “Of course! My mom spoils me. She brings me toys every time she comes home.”

Mu Baobao had toys at home too, but because Xu Muyan didn’t want her child to focus too much on games, she bought very few. Xu Lian handed Mu Baobao a superhero car. Mu Baobao happily rolled the car on the floor.

Xu Lian was an intelligent child from a young age. Taking advantage of the shared fun, she asked: “Mumu, who is the Sister Yue you mentioned?”

At the mention of Sister Yue, Mu Baobao’s eyes lit up. She grinned and said: “She’s my classmate in kindergarten, but she’s two months older than me, so I call her Sister Yue.”

Xu Lian said, “Oh,” and asked again: “Do you like Sister Yue very much?”

“Yes, yes. Sister Yue is so pretty and she has a lot of personality. I love being with her.”

Xu Lian clearly didn’t like Mu Baobao praising others. It’s normal for children to be very possessive. She grumbled: “Then do you like me?”

“Of course I do.” Mu Baobao hugged her: “You are my best friend!”

Xu Lian’s eyes widened happily: “Really? Am I really your best friend?”

“Of course.”

The two children smiled at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

The two children were having a great time, while the adults talked in the living room. Xu Feng was the first to bring up a topic: “It seems Mu Baobao and Lian Baobao get along really well. How about they go to the same school and class when they start primary school? It’ll be nice to have someone looking out for them.”

Gu Zhi had been thinking the same thing and played along: “I’m honestly worried that Mu Baobao’s personality might lead to her being bullied.”

Xu Muyan playfully chastised her: “Mu Baobao has a good temper, but she’s not so weak that she’d be bullied. She’s the class monitor in kindergarten, you know.”

Gu Zhi knew she misspoke and nodded in agreement.

Xu Feng rolled her eyes, making it look very deliberate, and chuckled: “When these two children differentiate into different genders after they turn fifteen, if one is an Alpha and the other is an Omega, and they’re childhood sweethearts, it’ll be easy for feelings to develop. Won’t our two families become in-laws then?”

At this, Xu Muyan couldn’t help but frown. It wasn’t that she disliked Lian Baobao, but Xu Feng’s words sounded too much like forcing a match. Mu Baobao should choose who she likes according to her own feelings.

She wouldn’t randomly play matchmaker. She didn’t want to be a wicked mother-in-law who used her child for an alliance. She said: “That’s not necessarily true. It mainly depends on what the children want in the future.”

Gu Zhi nodded: “That’s right. It still depends on what the children think. We, as parents, can only help up to this point.”

After talking for a long time, they finally took their leave and went home. Watching the Gu family depart, Xu Feng sighed: “Are they unhappy with our child?”

Her husband, Lin Weiyan, patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: “Our family is indeed a long way behind the Gu family, but it really has to depend on the children’s wishes. Their relationship now is just as friends, and it’s uncertain if they’ll still be friends in the future.”

…

The next day.

Xu Muyan woke up early, putting on a black business suit and trousers, exuding an aura of chastity that made Gu Zhi stare fixedly. Xu Muyan picked up Gu Zhi’s clothes and threw them at her, playfully scolding: “What are you staring at? You haven’t seen me wear this before?”

Gu Zhi felt she had lost her composure, then lay in bed laughing for a long time, only later saying in short bursts while still chuckling: “I was just a little amazed by you in that outfit.”

Xu Muyan pouted, suddenly recalling the inappropriate things she did with Gu Zhi in the office that day. Her face instantly flushed, and she silently cursed Gu Zhi for being indecent.

After breakfast, Xu Muyan got into her private car. Gu Zhi stood by the car door, watching anxiously for a long, long time. Xu Muyan touched her hand and smiled: “If you don’t leave now, you’ll be late.”

Gu Zhi bit her lip and said: “If you run into any trouble, remember to call me!”

Xu Muyan hummed in acknowledgment and told the driver to start the car. Gu Zhi could only watch the car drive away. Han Yun approached and asked: “CEO Gu, should we secretly follow her?”

Gu Zhi changed her mind: “Never mind. I want to wait for good news at home.”

The Junze headquarters was located in the most luxurious city center of A-City, a tall building with over ten floors, looking very imposing. Elites moved in and out of the entrance.

Everyone wore suits and uniforms, as if outsiders were not allowed to enter. Xu Muyan walked in slowly on high heels, attracting attention from many onlookers.

“That… isn’t that Xu Muyan?”

“Oh my god, I’m seeing a celebrity for the first time. She’s so beautiful.”

“Wait, isn’t she CEO Xu’s illegitimate daughter? Did she come here to collect a debt?”

Xu Muyan ignored the discussions and walked quickly. Someone was already waiting for her by the elevator. Xu Ranzhi, wearing a suit and a pencil skirt, saw the sister she had longed for. Her eyes suddenly became misty, and she wanted to reach out and hug her but timidly withdrew her hand.

Instead, Xu Muyan embraced her, gently comforting her: “Long time no see, little sister.”

Xu Ranzhi was stunned, then smiled brightly. “Sister.”

In the conference room, Xu Xun sat in the center, with company executives and his son, Xu Yang, on either side. The previous night, Su Xiaoyue made a huge scene at home when she heard that Xu Muyan was going to take a position at Junze.

However, she was spoiled since childhood, pampered by her parents when she was young, and cared for by Xu Xun after marriage. She didn’t really understand corporate operations, and it was hard for her to learn now. She was like an unemployed person who could only express futile anger.

Su Xiaoyue lay on the floor, red-eyed, looking at the husband she had been with for more than twenty years. With Su Ruoqiang present, she naturally felt powerful, but with Su Ruoqiang in the hospital, she was like a headless fly, suppressed by Xu Xun and unable to breathe. After her outburst, Xu Xun completely ignored her. She suddenly said calmly: “I didn’t expect you to be so scheming just to gain a reputation for yourself.”

Xu Xun’s eyes seemed to mock her, yet his actions were gentle and gentlemanly. He smiled and said: “Xiaoyue, please get up. The floor is dirty.”

Su Xiaoyue pushed him away hard, venting all her anger: “Xu Xun, what exactly do you want?!”

Xu Xun was stunned for a moment, then explained: “The illegitimate daughter matter is highly publicized online. I can’t let Junze lose face and suffer humiliation because of me. You know that when the incident broke, Junze nearly suffered losses. Isn’t the purpose of my actions to make up for Junze’s mistake and at the same time compensate for my years of guilt?”

“Guilt? Where did you get the guilt? You clearly only care about your own self-interest!”

“Xiaoyue, you have to think carefully. Do you have the ability to control the Su family now? If our Junze were to fight with the Gu family, we might lose everything we have.” Xu Xun’s eyes became sharp, yet he grinned, his voice suddenly shaking slightly.

Su Xiaoyue seemed to understand something. Her tone was unusually cold: “If I don’t cry and make a scene, you will treat me kindly, right?”

Xu Xun stroked her head as if petting a pet, comforting her like a murmur: “Of course, because you are my wife.”

…

Xu Ranzhi opened the door, and everyone’s gaze turned to Xu Muyan. Xu Yang was the first to shout: “You malicious woman, what did you give my father to let you work at Junze!”

“Get out, get out! The Xu family doesn’t welcome you at all!”

Xu Ranzhi angrily rebuked: “Xu Yang, shut up!”

Xu Yang looked like a child, his face full of hatred: “Sister, why are you helping this outsider? We are the family!”

Xu Ranzhi curled her lips in a sneer. Who wants to be family with a worthless playboy? She didn’t like the scumbag husband and the mistress, and naturally, she didn’t like this good-for-nothing younger brother.

Xu Xun cleared his throat: “Yangyang, stop talking for now. I hereby announce that Xu Muyan will take the position of Vice Director of Junze’s Planning Department.”

Junze’s main business was in construction and real estate. Xu Muyan knew nothing about this professionally, but it didn’t hinder her other work.

Another reason was that the Director was Xu Ranzhi, so they could look out for each other. Xu Xun’s promise was very tempting.

Giving her a high position immediately upon joining made others believe they had reconciled. Of course, Xu Xun also fueled the fire by posting about his reconciliation with Xu Muyan online, and public opinion gradually improved.

Xu Muyan parted her red lips: “Everyone, my name is Xu Muyan. I hope we can work together happily in the future.”

No one said anything, they just stared at this outwardly gorgeous Omega. An actress only knows how to act and sing. She has no foundation, yet she’s made a Vice Director. Is this appropriate?

Xu Muyan smiled, not minding, and said: “I graduated from Tsinghua University with a major in Finance. I apologize for taking the position of Vice Director upon joining. However, I will do my best for Junze.”

Everyone present was shrewd. They figured Xu Xun must have his reasons. After all, Junze’s image was damaged by Xu Xun’s messy affairs. Everyone hoped Junze could recover. Furthermore, the Planning Department was supported by Xu Ranzhi, so one Vice Director wouldn’t cause a storm. Thus, they clapped to welcome her.

However, one person vehemently objected. Xu Yang rushed forward and cursed at Xu Muyan: “You seductress! You have a wealthy wife, so why do you have to come to our Junze! Why! Are you threatening my father? Did you do something inappropriate!”

Xu Muyan said coldly: “I don’t know what you are talking about. Do you have any position at Junze?”

Xu Yang was stunned, then said vexedly: “I don’t.”

“Since you don’t, why are you barging into Junze and insulting people indiscriminately? I can use this recording to charge you with a crime!” Even though the person was Xu Muyan’s biological younger brother, they had never interacted. Xu Muyan was not going to tolerate this playboy brother.

Xu Yang was on the verge of tears, looking helplessly at Xu Xun. Xu Xun’s face was expressionless. He just looked up and said coldly: “Yangyang, don’t be rude to your Sister!”

Xu Yang clenched his fists. It was like punching cotton. He opened the door and ran out immediately. Xu Xun: “Everyone, please leave. I have something to discuss with the Vice Director.”

After everyone left, Xu Xun finally smiled: “It’s only your first day on the job, and you already have the presence of a Chairman. It seems you have a bright future ahead of you.”

“I don’t believe you would hand the Chairman position over to me.” Xu Muyan said jokingly: “If you would, I’d certainly accept it.”

Xu Xun looked at Xu Muyan and suddenly realized this daughter resembled him the most. She was practically his mirror image.

Outwardly, she was like a gentle, refined scholar, without any aggression or flamboyance, yet her inner ambition was constantly surging, and no one would ever notice her ambition.

This kind of talent is the most suitable for controlling the company’s destiny!
