After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Whitewashed Myself with the Movie Queen on a Reality Dating Show - Chapter 9

[Gu Zhi] I heard you’re looking for a new place?

[Gu Zhi] [Dog head peeking.jpg]

Usually, celebrities are too busy to look for a place themselves, but their managers would at least know a little. Gu Zhi’s message was clearly from Tan Ning.

[Xu Muyan] Yes.

[Gu Zhi] How about you live in the Yulan Villa?

[Gu Zhi] No one’s living there right now.”

If she moved in, wouldn’t the rumors become even more confirmed? But the rumors were already out, so Xu Muyan no longer cared. She still remembered what Gu Zhi had said—”try to like me.” She had never liked anyone, nor had she ever been in a relationship. If relationships were the source of all suffering, then love was the root of all its bittersweetness.

Gu Zhi no longer interacted with other female celebrities like she used to. Instead, she only focused on her, whether she needed something or not. Xu Muyan closed her eyes in thought. She would just pretend that Gu Zhi had become a new person. For the sake of her future, she had to fight for it.

“[Xu Muyan] Okay.”

She agreed! She agreed! Gu Zhi excitedly bounced up and down on the sofa. Han Yun watched her with a pained expression.

“Little Han,” Gu Zhi laughed. “Go prepare the best bedding, living supplies, and bedroom furniture. Get it all set up for me as soon as possible!”

“Understood!”

When Xu Muyan arrived at Yulan Villa, it was already evening. It was just her and Gu Zhi in the house. The housekeepers lived nearby and would come over to clean on a schedule.

Gu Zhi poured her a glass of water. “What do you want to eat for dinner?”

“Will someone make it for me?” Xu Muyan asked.

“Of course! I’ll make it for you.” She rolled up her sleeves as she spoke.

“You can cook?”

“Miss Xu, don’t you remember I cooked for you before?”

“Just call me Muyan,” Xu Muyan said, her arms crossed.

Gu Zhi was about to laugh happily, but Xu Muyan’s next words made her freeze.

“Are you talking about that sweet and sour pork? It had no flavor at all,” Xu Muyan chuckled.

“Then I’ll just have the housekeeper come,” Gu Zhi said.

“Never mind, I’ll cook with you.”

Gu Zhi’s eyes lit up. “You can cook?”

“What, is it surprising that a glamorous movie queen can cook?”

Gu Zhi nodded seriously.

Xu Muyan was silent for a moment before she said, “When I was little, I lived with my mom. She often came home late from work, so I had to cook by myself. I learned even without being taught.”

Gu Zhi, remembering that she was the illegitimate daughter of Chairman Xu of Junze Group, thought to herself that she must have had a difficult childhood. She felt a pang of sympathy. Xu Muyan glanced at her, and the pity in her gaze seemed so genuine, not fake at all.

In her original world, Gu Zhi would order takeout when she was hungry. Occasionally, she would cook, but she wasn’t very good at it. She watched as Xu Muyan expertly rinsed the rice and prepared the dishes she was going to cook.

Gu Zhi praised her slightly, “Muyan, you’re so good.”

It’s just cooking. What’s there to praise? Although Xu Muyan thought this, she was happy inside. “Thank you.”

Gu Zhi just stood there, looking at her with adoration. Xu Muyan’s hair was tied up in a bun, with a few strands of hair framing her face. She was wearing an apron, and her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her arm. She had completely transformed from a cold and glamorous star to a calm and down-to-earth girl. She radiated a peaceful aura. She was beautiful, no matter how Gu Zhi looked at her.

Sensing that Gu Zhi was staring at her, Xu Muyan felt that she was too idle. “Help me cut the vegetables,” Xu Muyan said, handing her a bunch of celery.

Gu Zhi obediently said, “Okay.”

Xu Muyan added, “Don’t cut them too big or too long. It’ll be a pain to stir-fry.”

“Um, can I call you ‘Sister’?” Gu Zhi suddenly asked.

“How old are you?”

“Twenty-five.”

“I’m twenty-six.”

Xu Muyan said, “Call me whatever you want.”

Gu Zhi lowered her head and smiled. “Sister.”

Xu Muyan: “…”

“Hurry up and answer me.”

Xu Muyan: “Hurry up and cook.” She sounded like a mother urging her daughter.

“Okay.”

Thirty minutes later, Xu Muyan had made stir-fried pork with green peppers, stir-fried celery with dried tofu, and a bowl of spinach and egg soup. Although they were simple dishes, they looked, smelled, and tasted amazing. Gu Zhi’s stomach rumbled at the aroma.

Just as they were about to eat, the doorbell rang. Xu Muyan thought it might be her father. “Should I hide?”

Gu Zhi shook her head. “No need.”

Xu Muyan looked at the camera in the corner. She must have video access to the outside on her phone. But for some reason, she felt that even if her father was at the door, Gu Zhi wouldn’t let her hide.

The person who came was Gu Zhi’s childhood friend, an alpha named Qin Huan.

“Can I come in?” she asked with a smile. Qin Huan came from a scholarly family, and she spoke in a refined manner. The original Gu Zhi didn’t like her as a child, but for some reason, she fell into a pit, and Qin Huan went through a lot of trouble to save her. So the original Gu Zhi always saw her as a close friend.

Gu Zhi retracted her gaze. She seemed like an easygoing friend. “No,” she replied.

Qin Huan seemed to understand. “Is someone in there?”

“Yes.”

“Who?”

“Is there a need for me to tell you?”

“You’re unbelievable,” Qin Huan laughed. “My uncle is coming back in a few days. He’s arranged a blind date for you. As a good friend, I wanted to be the first to let you know and discuss it with you.”

Gu Zhi hadn’t known that Gu Lan was coming back. No one had even mentioned the blind date to her. He probably wanted to do it without telling her.

“Let’s meet at Wanzhong Company in an hour.”

“See you there.”

After Gu Zhi closed the door, Xu Muyan had already finished eating. She elegantly wiped her mouth.

“I have to go back now, sorry,” Gu Zhi said, putting on her jacket.

“Is something wrong?” Xu Muyan asked, a rare sign of curiosity.

Gu Zhi didn’t hide it. “My dad is coming back to set me up on a blind date.”

Xu Muyan’s heart skipped a beat, and she simply said, “Oh.”

“But I don’t want to go,” Gu Zhi said, putting on her mask. “I just want to be with you.”

Xu Muyan was a little stunned. Gu Zhi had already left before she could react. She pursed her lips, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She had to admit, Gu Zhi had an innocent, angelic face, but her words were captivating.

But will she really go on that blind date?

“The blind date your uncle found for you is from a company in S City, but I don’t know who exactly she is.”

“I’ll meet her, but I’ll definitely not get together with her,” Gu Zhi smiled.

“I heard that this daughter is just as beautiful as any actress in the industry. Maybe you’ll fall for her the moment you see her,” Qin Huan said. She knew her friend’s personality. However, she didn’t know that her friend was a completely different person now.

Gu Zhi smiled. “I won’t fall for her, because my heart already belongs to someone.”

“Is it Xu Muyan? The whole internet is talking about you two.”

Gu Zhi was silent for a moment. “That’s right, and she’s pregnant with my child.”

Qin Huan was shocked. “She… she’s pregnant with your child?”

“If my uncle finds out you’re involved with a celebrity, won’t he…”

“He won’t. I’m going to take responsibility no matter what.”

The next day, Gu Zhi received a notice from her parents, Gu Lan and Gao Qi. Before leaving, she sent a message to Xu Muyan.

“[Gu Zhi] Sister, I’m going on a blind date.

[Gu Zhi] [Crying puppy.jpg]”

Xu Muyan had just woken up. She could feel Gu Zhi’s nervousness through the message.

“[Xu Muyan] It’s all your fault.

[Gu Zhi] ?

[Xu Muyan] You’ve made me nervous, too.”

Gu Zhi chuckled.

“[Gu Zhi] Why are you nervous?

[Xu Muyan] What if your parents show up at Yulan Villa and find me here?

Gu Zhi pouted. So that’s what it was.

[Gu Zhi] Don’t worry. They’re only here for one day. They’ll go back as soon as they’re done.

[Xu Muyan] Then won’t they make things difficult for me when they find out we’re close?

[Gu Zhi] They won’t.

[Xu Muyan] Hmm?

[Gu Zhi] I said they won’t, so they won’t.

[Xu Muyan] You have to give me some confidence. And you won’t get together with your blind date, will you?”

Xu Muyan pursed her lips, unable to stop herself from smiling. She was actually worried about what Gu Lan would do if he found out about their relationship, but she felt that with Gu Zhi around, all her worries disappeared.

When she arrived at a high-end coffee shop, Gu Zhi first met with her parents.

“Gu Zhi, you’re not getting any younger. It’s time to think about marriage,” Gu Lan said earnestly, trying to persuade his daughter to get back on the right path. Over the past few years, Gu Zhi’s scandals had been endless, and Gu Lan was genuinely worried that other rich omega daughters would refuse to marry into their family because of it. He knew that the current Gu Zhi was out of his control, but as long as he had paternal authority, he would still have influence.

“Who’s the person?” Gu Zhi asked coldly, only caring about this one thing.

“The daughter of the CEO of Junze Company, Xu Ranzhi.”

The name hit Gu Zhi like a thunderbolt.

“Zhi-zhi, are you… okay?” Gu Zhi’s mother, Gao Qi, asked with concern.

Gu Zhi almost fainted but was caught by Han Yun.

Oh my God, my blind date is actually Xu Muyan’s sister!

“Are you sure she’s from Junze? Isn’t he in A City?”

“She’s from the A City branch. That daughter works there and managed to make the branch very successful in just two years. She’s the same age as you and is said to be as beautiful as a flower. There aren’t many omegas that match you in looks, age, family background, and ability.”

Gu Lan was right. Xu Ranzhi was a perfect match for the original Gu Zhi. But she wasn’t the original Gu Zhi.

“Dad, does Junze only have one daughter?”

“Of course. Oh, and a son, but he’s an alpha, so you two are out of the question.”

Gu Zhi: “…” Who would want to be with an alpha, and a male one at that?

“Her father was supposed to come, but he’s too busy, so she’s sitting over there. She’s the girl in the long black Chanel dress.”

Gu Zhi walked over as instructed. Xu Ranzhi was still on her phone, with her coffee half-finished. Gu Zhi had intentionally arrived late to leave a bad impression on this spoiled daughter. She didn’t expect her to still be there.

Gu Zhi sat down and said with a sleazy, playboy smile, “So you’re the one I’m supposed to be on a blind date with?” With this attitude, no one, no matter how good-tempered, would be able to stand it.

Xu Ranzhi looked up, revealing a face that was half-similar to Xu Muyan’s. But she was different. Xu Muyan was a cold, untouchable “high-mountain flower,” while Xu Ranzhi was a vibrant, worldly flower of wealth.

Xu Ranzhi smiled. “Hello.”
