After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 53

Returning home, Mu Baobao excitedly tugged at Xu Muyan’s sleeve and pleaded: “Mama, I want ice cream.”

Xu Muyan was especially affectionate towards her child now. She rubbed her head, “Go get it from the fridge. Just one, okay.” Mu Baobao was delighted that she could have ice cream and went to get it, skipping and singing.

Xu Muyan sat next to Gu Zhi and sighed: “Let’s change the kindergarten for the child.”

Gu Zhi: “Mu Baobao is very attached to the Fang family’s child now. I’m afraid she will be the first one to object. We can’t force her to transfer, can we?”

Xu Muyan rarely pouted. Her personality gradually revealed itself only in front of her wife. She let out a slightly spoiled hum: “But I’m just so worried.”

Gu Zhi knew what she was worried about. She embraced her, stroking her back and coaxing: “I don’t care what Xu Xun thinks or what danger he poses to the child. All I can do is protect you and our child.”

Xu Muyan felt a wave of happiness, but afterward, a bold idea suddenly sparked in her mind.

…

The next day, Xu Muyan behaved well, even sending messages to Xu Xun to greet him. Xu Xun thought he was mistaken when he saw the message. He told everyone he met that his daughter was willing to acknowledge him as her father and that he could finally rest easy. Xu Muyan then bought various health supplements and sent them to Xu Xun one after another. In the eyes of others, everything looked harmonious.

A few days later, Xu Xun was both surprised and delighted to learn that Xu Muyan wanted to treat him to dinner.

“Why are you treating me to dinner?” They were at a restaurant, in a private room with only him, Xu Muyan, and Xu Ranzhi. Xu Ranzhi had drunk a little alcohol, and still thinking about what Ji Yan had told her a few days ago, she suddenly felt more and more afraid of her biological father.

Xu Muyan showed an apologetic look and smiled: “What happened last time was my fault. Mu Baobao has made it clear to me that you were very kind to her. I’m sorry, Father. I was too angry and yelled at you.”

Xu Ranzhi looked at her sister with shock and disbelief.

On the contrary, hearing the word ‘Father,’ Xu Xun was overjoyed. He smiled: “Muyan… you, sigh. I went to the kindergarten just to see how Mu Baobao was doing. It was also my fault for going without your permission.”

Xu Muyan: “My attitude towards you wasn’t good in the past either. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Xu Xun said anxiously: “It’s enough that you’ve come to terms with it. I will be your father for life.”

Xu Muyan poured him a glass of wine: “Father, have some wine. It will warm your stomach.”

Xu Xun smiled and nodded, drinking glass after glass.

When Xu Ranzhi followed her to the restroom, she said: “Sister, why are you being so nice to him? Have you let bygones be bygones?”

Xu Muyan washed her hands thoroughly: “There’s no choice. Right now, I just want peace.”

Xu Ranzhi didn’t want her sister to get into trouble. She crossed her arms: “To be honest, you’re doing well now. You have a loving wife and a loving child. Xu Xun is even planning to give you shares.”

Xu Muyan was suddenly stunned: “He wants to give me shares?” This also suggested that Xu Xun regarded her as an heir.

Xu Ranzhi hummed: “He specifically mentioned it to me when he arrived. I initially thought he felt very guilty towards you, and judging by his expression just now, that seems to be the case.”

Xu Muyan bit her lip and didn’t speak. After a long while, she finally asked: “Is Ji Yan still around? Gu Zhi wants to ask her something again.”

“I asked her many times after you left, but I couldn’t get anything out of her. So I plan to have her resume her role as my assistant.”

Xu Muyan nodded and patted her shoulder: “That’s good too. I was too abrupt about the previous matter.”

When the two returned to the private room, Xu Xun was already thoroughly drunk. He saw his daughter come in and smiled brightly.

“Muyan, you’re finally here.” Xu Xun tried to take her hand but couldn’t quite grasp it: “I’m sorry. I had a very hard childhood. My family had nothing. My mother told me to study hard, and then she and my father went out to work. The classmates at school all bullied me, saying my family was poor and couldn’t even afford a piece of meat… I was so angry, so I fought with them. The teacher saw it, but the teacher only blamed me because those classmates had family connections, and the teacher didn’t dare to cross them. And I was just a commoner, a commoner wearing ragged clothes, so the teacher disciplined me, in front of the whole class… I thought then that I must become rich. But I went to a good university, and still had no prospects after graduation. The jobs I wanted became like a game of musical chairs. Everyone squeezed me out. They said I wasn’t hardworking, so the company didn’t want me. But where is the fairness in this world…”

Xu Xun shed a few tears, as if complaining about something.

“After I married your mother, and she was pregnant with you, I was so happy, so incredibly happy. It was my first time being a father. But I was also sad because I couldn’t afford to take care of you, so I ran out every day to make money. I worked as a dishwasher, a security guard, a delivery driver, but still didn’t earn much. Later, I came to A-City, and my view was tremendously impacted. Why are some people rich since childhood? They can swim, play the piano, ride horses, and paint, and I have nothing but a diploma…”

Xu Xun silently wiped his tears, narrating his hardships. But in Xu Muyan’s eyes, this hardship was nothing compared to Xue Yan’s. Xue Yan also lived a hard life like him, but she still supported herself. This was why, when Xue Yan had a breakdown, Xu Muyan only felt sorrow, not hatred, because the real perpetrator was Xu Xun.

Xu Muyan held back her tears, her nose aching as if fermented. She asked: “Father, what did you do to Su Ruoqiang? Can you tell me? I really want to know…” She took out a voice recorder from her bag.

Xu Ranzhi’s eyes lit up. She instantly understood Xu Muyan’s intention.

…

Gu Zhi and Mu Baobao were sleeping on the mat. The mother and daughter had a very relaxed posture, and Mu Baobao was even drooling. They looked exactly alike. A phone call suddenly came in.

Gu Zhi woke up with a start, covering Mu Baobao’s ears as she answered the phone: “Hello?”

“Hello, this is the A-City Police Station. A person named Jiang Shiyi wants to speak with you.”

Because of their agreement, Jiang Shiyi successfully helped the police solve two cases, so she was living a relatively comfortable life in prison.

“Jiang Shiyi? What do you want from me?” Gu Zhi felt too sleepy to sound energetic.

“You seem to be sleeping well.” Jiang Shiyi scoffed.

“Just so-so. Work is too tiring. I fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed.”

“I forgot to tell you something.” Jiang Shiyi said softly: “Do you know about Wan Jinshan?”

Gu Zhi’s expression hardened: “Of course, I know. You asked him to kidnap my wife and mother-in-law, right!” Since that incident, Gu Zhi had frequently suppressed Jinshan Restaurant, causing it to go bankrupt, and Wan Jinshan was forced to leave the country.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong.” Jiang Shiyi was full of apologies: “Will you forgive me?”

“No!”

Jiang Shiyi laughed: “I didn’t expect you to forgive me. I know Wan Jinshan’s whereabouts. He went abroad, to Ruinan, and became a herb king. Calling him a herb king, he’s actually selling poison. Perhaps he knows something.”

Gu Zhi was overjoyed.

“By the way, the flower you showed me is useless to me, but I know how the killer you suspect poisoned him. They often put colorless and odorless poison in the tea. Su Ruoqiang loves drinking tea, so he would ingest a little poison every day. When he got angry, it attacked his heart. It’s a very simple method, but it’s hard to detect without cameras.”

Gu Zhi smiled: “Of course, I know. Xu Xun even sterilized the cup Su Ruoqiang drank from.”

Suddenly the call ended. The allotted communication time was over.

Gu Zhi put on her clothes and called Han Yun: “Xiao Han, arrange a flight to Ruinan for me.”

Mu Baobao woke up groggily. Hearing Mummy was going to Ruinan, she shouted: “I want to go too.”

Gu Zhi pressed down her restless head: “You’re not allowed to go.”

Mu Baobao bared her teeth: “Mummy went out to play without Mama and me.”

Gu Zhi smiled: “Mummy is going because of Mama. You have to be good at home, okay.”

…

Arriving in Ruinan, Gu Zhi quickly located Wan Jinshan through her connections. Just like before, Wan Jinshan had the look of a portly tycoon.

“Yo, what brings CEO Gu here?” Wan Jinshan chuckled.

Gu Zhi wore sunglasses and was followed by her own bodyguards. Even though there were several fierce-looking merchants watching her in the room, she felt no fear.

“Wan Jinshan, I’m here to ask you something.”

Wan Jinshan showed his yellow teeth, and a cloud of smoke rushed out: “CEO Gu came all the way from A-City to ask me. CEO Gu is really going to great lengths. You forced me to leave A-City and prevented me from returning, and you still want the old man to help you? Dream on!” Wan Jinshan always sought revenge. It was already a miracle that he didn’t try to teach Gu Zhi a lesson this time.

A cold smile touched Gu Zhi’s lips: “Wan Jinshan, I came all this way to give you a promotion. I’m just asking you a simple question. Just tell me.”

“Go to hell!” Wan Jinshan raised a gun and aimed it at Gu Zhi. “Are you crazy? You exiled me here, and you expect me to help you? If I help you, I’m a dog!”

Gu Zhi looked at the real gun, without any fear in her heart. “How much money do you want?”

She clapped her hands. Han Yun brought out three briefcases. When opened, they were full of money. Wan Jinshan was momentarily stunned, and the gun in his hand involuntarily lowered.

Gu Zhi said flatly: “If it’s not enough, I can give you more.”

Wan Jinshan: “What do you want to ask?”

Gu Zhi: “Did a wealthy merchant come here to buy a poisonous flower that looks similar to the Pink Orchid Sleep Flower?”

Wan Jinshan’s eyes were shrewd. He stroked his heavy beard: “Someone did come to me looking for poisonous flowers, but he told me not to tell anyone. So, CEO Gu, you know what the condition was for me not to tell anyone.”

Gu Zhi smirked: “Whatever he gave you, I’ll double it!”

Wan Jinshan’s eyes gleamed. He chuckled: “I knew CEO Gu was generous!”

Wan Jinshan led Gu Zhi and the others to a village hidden deep in the mountains, where many plants were cultivated. Wan Jinshan: “That wealthy merchant hid his name. I don’t know what he’s called. So I brought him here to choose the poisonous flower. He finally chose the Blue Berry Flower because it bears blue fruit.”

Gu Zhi murmured: “So the Jiangbei Nanchen Flower is called Blue Berry Flower. Did he say why he bought the flower?”

“He said it was to give to someone. As long as he paid, I didn’t bother to ask.”

The residents of this village made a living by selling flowers and plants. Many unknown flowers were picked in the mountains. Gu Zhi stared intently at a patch of yellow flowers in the flowerbed: “These flowers are so beautiful, yet so poisonous. They look decent on the outside, but are so despicable behind the scenes. In this world, how many good people and how many bad people are there?”

…

Back at the airport, as soon as she walked out, the driver who came to pick her up suddenly stood dumbfounded at the car door. He didn’t dare to approach when he saw CEO Gu, his eyes constantly darting sideways.

Gu Zhi let out a slight sound and saw Xu Muyan, also wearing sunglasses, standing with crossed arms, looking serious. She said coldly: “What are you standing there for? Get in the car!”

Gu Zhi followed Xu Muyan into the car like a child who had done something wrong. She tried to appease her: “Sister, why did you come? Aren’t you working at Junze?” Her trip to Ruinan and back only took two days. No one would suspect if she claimed it was a business trip, and she had frequently chatted with Xu Muyan. How did she know?

Xu Muyan gave the answer: “Mu Baobao very angrily told me last night that you went to Ruinan to play without me and Mu Baobao, didn’t you?”

Gu Zhi: “…” That rebellious child!

Xu Muyan’s brow remained furrowed. Gu Zhi didn’t dare to speak to her. Finally, she mustered the courage to ask: “What are we eating tonight?”

“Eat, eat, eat! All you think about is eating! Just eat until you become a fat pig, so you won’t have the strength to run away!”

Xu Muyan glared and scolded her. It was the first time Gu Zhi had been scolded like this by Xu Muyan, so she was somewhat embarrassed.

“Oh dear, don’t be angry, my wife.” Gu Zhi leaned into her arms and rubbed against her: “Wife, you smell so good.”

Xu Muyan: “Get away from me. I don’t want to see you right now!”

“If you don’t want to see me, why did you personally come to the airport to pick me up?”

“I was just here to look around!”

“Oh~ Wife, you are truly leisurely.”

“Gu Zhi!”

Xu Muyan lightly punched her chest once and twice, not daring to use much force. Finally, she said angrily: “How can you be so bad!”

Gu Zhi caught her fist, kissing it repeatedly: “If I wasn’t bad, would you like me?”

Xu Muyan’s cheeks were flushed. Finally, she let out a reluctant grunt. Gu Zhi held her tightly, comforting her still-trembling shoulders.

“You went to Ruinan to find that flower, right? There are so many poisonous flowers there. I was worried you might run into someone, and what if they robbed you or, even worse, assaulted you?”

“No, I was prepared. Wait—” Gu Zhi listened intently, then suddenly paused: “Assaulted me?”

Xu Muyan opened her clear, watery eyes, looking like she was about to cry: “You are so good-looking and beautiful and generous. What if those people took a liking to you? I would be heartbroken, okay?”

Gu Zhi: “…”

Although it sounded absurd, it wasn’t impossible. She couldn’t help but laugh, laughing for a long time. Xu Muyan asked suspiciously: “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny? Am I not speaking the truth?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” So that was what Xu Muyan was worried about.

“Are you worried that I lost my virtue? But my first kiss and first night were both given to you!” Gu Zhi leaned in, trying to steal a kiss from her wife.

“Go away!” Xu Muyan turned her head in distaste.

“Wife, I haven’t seen you for two days. A kiss~”

“Kiss your head! All you think about is kissing, kissing, kissing! I would kiss someone else before I kiss you.” Xu Muyan was angry.

“What?!” Gu Zhi immediately moved closer to her, frowning: “No way. You only belong to me.”

Xu Muyan said, “Oh,” and lowered her head, revealing flushed cheeks. Then, she raised her determined eyes: “Your body also belongs to me. I won’t share it with anyone else.”

Gu Zhi was stunned. Usually, Xu Muyan was more mature than her and performed better in every aspect. Now, she looked like a jealous little wife. Gu Zhi, in her excitement, quickly kissed her on the lips: “Wife, you are too cute, hahahahaha. Let me have a good meal tonight.” Xu Muyan smiled coldly. I will definitely let you have a “good meal” tonight!

Arriving home, Mu Baobao happily greeted them: “Mummy~ You’re back.”

Gu Zhi lifted her up and pretended to be angry: “Gu Zhimu, Mummy doesn’t want to talk to you today because you tattled on me to Mama.”

Mu Baobao was stunned, then waved her small fists and shouted: “It was Mummy who went out to play without us! Mummy is too stingy!”

Gu Zhi could lift Mu Baobao with one hand. Mu Baobao struggled like a small puppy, completely ineffective against Gu Zhi. Gu Zhi raised her eyebrows triumphantly: “Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can’t hit me.”

Xu Muyan: “Enough. Put Mu Baobao down. It would be bad if she accidentally fell.”

Gu Zhi immediately put Mu Baobao down. Mu Baobao hugged Xu Muyan’s thigh: “Mama. Mummy is bullying me again.”

Xu Muyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She comforted her: “Grandpa will be here to pick you up in a while. Be good and stay in the living room. Mama needs to go upstairs with Mummy to discuss some things.”

Mu Baobao immediately stopped fussing. As if she knew something, she obediently sat on the sofa. Xu Muyan grabbed Gu Zhi’s clothes and walked upstairs. Gu Zhi cried out: “Wife, be gentle! Sister~ Wife, ouch, you bumped my shoulder.”

Xu Muyan brought Gu Zhi into the bedroom and firmly closed the door. Gu Zhi knew what she was going to do. She sat on the bed and complained: “Go ahead and scold me. I know you were too embarrassed to yell loudly in the car.”

Xu Muyan: “…”

“Actually, it’s been a long time since you scolded me. Sister is beautiful even when she’s scolding.”

Xu Muyan: “…”

“Sister! Although I kept it from you, I was anxious to find that flower, so I didn’t handle the matter to your satisfaction.”

Xu Muyan: “…”

Gu Zhi said strangely: “Huh, why aren’t you talking?”

Xu Muyan walked over and took off her clothes. Gu Zhi showed a seductive smile: “So you’re feeling frisky, huh? Come here, let your wife give you some good loving.”

“I want to punish you, so I plan to use S.”

“S?”

“We’ve been together for five or six years, right? Have we ever used S&M play?”

“Oh, you mean—” Gu Zhi suddenly understood.

“Then the M target is?”

“You.” Xu Muyan raised her attractive eyebrows.

“That requires some tools, right?” Gu Zhi felt a chill of fear. Although she had watched some S&M videos, she found it a bit distasteful.

“It doesn’t matter.” Xu Muyan’s voice was cool and clear. She took out a whip and some ropes from the wardrobe. Oh, and some indecent clothing.

Gu Zhi: “!!”

“When did you buy those?”

“Do I need you to know when I bought them, little Zhi-Zhi?” Xu Muyan gracefully walked closer, her lavender pheromones overwhelming. A stunning and shocking smile touched her lips: “Gu Zhi, just wait to be trained by me.”

Gu Zhi took a deep breath, collapsed onto the bed, and closed her eyes. Since Sister liked it, she would accept it!

…

Afterward, Gu Zhi was wrapped in a blanket, groaning in Xu Muyan’s arms. She used to be on top, but now Xu Muyan dominated the top role. It actually felt pretty good. Although it hurt a little.

Gu Zhi whined: “Sister, you’re so bad.”

Xu Muyan: “It’s only been this long, and you can’t take it anymore?”

Gu Zhi: “Who told you to be so severe with the S.”

Xu Muyan looked at the only red mark on her butt, feeling a little distressed: “I’m sorry.”

Gu Zhi didn’t mind. It was a feeling of both pleasure and pain. She could even do it again.

“What did you find there?”

“Oh, I know Ji Guangyao bought the poisonous flower there. As long as I collect the flight purchase records, I can make him confess Xu Xun.”

Xu Muyan: “Actually, it’s not that complicated, because I’ve already found a better way.”

Gu Zhi’s heart jumped, and she asked happily: “What better way?”

Xu Muyan went to the nightstand, took out a voice recorder, and pressed the button. Xu Xun’s voice emerged.

“I… I really hated Su Ruoqiang because I got Su Xiaoyue pregnant, and Su Xiaoyue kept pestering me. Then Su Ruoqiang found out, and he sent people to beat me up in an alley, telling me to go back to the countryside. He called me a phoenix man, a poor ghost. I will never forget those words. Later, Su Xiaoyue insisted on marrying me, so he had to agree. But he still disliked me, and anyway… anyway, I also disliked him. I thought I must kill him. I worked hard just to truly gain ownership of Junze. Later, your news broke online, so I had to move my plan forward. I bought the poisonous flower from Ji Guangyao, the Blue Berry Flower from Ruinan, and slowly extracted the toxic component, poisoning Su Ruoqiang’s tea… Hmph, how did I poison him? I, of course, bribed their maid. The maid would call me back whenever she brewed the tea, so I poisoned the tea right before Su Ruoqiang came to drink it!”

Gu Zhi was not shocked, as Jiang Shiyi had already explained the process to her. She just didn’t expect Xu Xun to hate Su Ruoqiang so much.

Xu Muyan sighed: “Let’s report him.”

Gu Zhi contemplated: “Wait a minute. I need to go find Ji Guangyao.”
