Be Quiet, This Scumbag Alpha Has The Gaokao - Chapter 5

So tired.

Xu Ancheng finally returned home and collapsed onto the sofa.

Matching wits and courage with an old fox was not that easy. Fortunately, she was still clear on what problems Kunpeng Group had. And she was even clearer on what kind of person Xu Ancheng was.

She was someone with no voice. A useless person. A rotten person. A person with no value.

For now, it seemed Xu Wei still respected her opinion to some degree, and she believed she had enough bargaining chips to negotiate with him. After all, the current Su Jiu was still only an A-rank Omega, no different from his countless lovers.

But if Xu Wei found out that Su Jiu was a [hidden one]…

So before he discovered that, Xu Ancheng had to obtain more bargaining chips, slowly gain control over the family’s resources, and use them to stop Xu Wei from courting death. If necessary, she could personally hand Kunpeng Group over to Su Jiu as a gift.

Before Auntie Zhou entered Xu Ancheng’s home, she still had not completely believed her. Although she had already arranged for people to deliver and set up the things in advance, when she entered and saw the spacious living room with one wall of bookshelves, the spot beneath it where the sofa had originally been replaced by a large study desk and an ergonomic chair, the desk covered with a pen holder stuffed full of gel pens, two stacks of notebooks and blank paper, and behind it the book wall already eighty percent filled with books, Xu Ancheng was sitting in the chair writing things down in a notebook. Opposite her stood the whiteboard, already set up, looking as if class could begin at any moment.

Without showing anything on her face, Auntie Zhou handed her a folder. Inside were the class schedule and teacher information.

Two people followed behind her. Boxes of mineral water, drinks, and some snacks were carried in. Auntie Zhou directed them to place everything one by one into the cabinets and refrigerator. Xu Ancheng suddenly thought of something. “I’m missing a coffee machine. A capsule one will do. It’s faster.”

“All right.” Auntie Zhou immediately made a call.

Half an hour later, a courier delivered the best capsule coffee machine. Coffee capsules filled a large jar. At the same time, the supplementary study materials purchased according to the teachers’ requirements were also delivered one after another. The apartment was as lively today as if she were moving house.

Auntie Zhou still remembered that Xu Ancheng had not liked drinking coffee before. She had even found three-in-one instant coffee bitter. Recently, her tastes had changed a lot. Auntie Zhou needed to make careful note of that.

“There are also supplements: vitamins, calcium tablets, and fish oil. I bought one bottle of each. If you find any of them useful, we can replenish them.”

“Buy some suppressant patches too. I’m not sure all the teachers coming will be Betas. Ah, also buy a few easy-to-keep green plants and place them on the windowsill. When I get tired, I can water the flowers.”

Xu Ancheng placed the textbooks and exercise books onto a row of shelves she could reach as soon as she turned around. She examined them for a while and felt that the preparations were decent enough. Then she twisted her fingers, filled with anticipation for the study time that was about to come.

This was so normal it was abnormal!

Only Auntie Zhou herself knew how loudly she was roaring inside.

Xu Wei had been somewhat restless all day. After getting off work, he drove back to the old residence for the first time in a long while.

Yun Ruo was eating a bowl of washed strawberries with the stems removed while watching a TV drama. When she saw Xu Wei enter, she was truly shocked. “Are you here to get something?”

Xu Wei: …

Although he truly did not come home often, there was no need to treat him so much like an outsider.

“Nothing. I’m staying at home tonight.” He could only reply in a fit of pique. After changing his shoes, he went to change into home clothes. Thinking about it, he first went to shower instead.

When he came out, he saw that his wife was the same as before, eating fruit, drinking tea, and watching dramas. The plants in the living room, the fish in the fish tank, and a little cat named Rice Ball were all being raised very well by her.

This was what a home should look like, Xu Wei thought. His heart relaxed a great deal, and he sat on the side sofa to peel a tangerine.

Yun Ruo shifted her sitting posture somewhat uneasily. “Just say it if something happened.”

The little cat lying in her arms immediately jumped to the floor, shook out its fur, and walked away.

Xu Wei vaguely discovered that everything in this house did not welcome him, but he refused to acknowledge this discovery.

After peeling the tangerine, eating it felt wrong, and not eating it also felt wrong. He put the tangerine aside. “Your daughter wants to take the gaokao. Did she tell you?”

“No.” Yun Ruo instantly became excited. “I’ll call her.”

“Hey, don’t disturb her.”

After saying that, Xu Wei did not know what else to say. He ate the poorly peeled tangerine himself, pulled over a tissue to wipe his hands, then made a call himself. “Zhou Yi, how is Xiao Cheng doing?”

The person on the other end said a few sentences. Xu Wei’s expression grew worse and worse. After hanging up, he gave a cold snort.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Ruo asked worriedly.

“She angered the teachers into running away.” Xu Wei stood up. “That makes sense. She barely read books for more than a few days since she was a child. Her foundation is terrible. How can someone say they’re going to study properly and then actually study properly? I estimate she won’t last more than a few days before running off again to find Omegas, rent yachts, and throw parties.”

Yun Ruo silently watched him return to his room. She did not even ask whether he would eat dinner at home. In any case, she did not eat dinner herself in order to maintain her figure.

Once her husband left, she immediately called her daughter.

“Hello?”

“Hello, hello, hello. You don’t even know to call me Mom. Didn’t you used to have such a sweet mouth?”

Xu Ancheng mumbled vaguely. “What does Miss Yun need?”

Yun Ruo became very happy. Even happier than if Xu Ancheng had called her Mom. “Are you studying?”

“Xu Wei told you?”

Yun Ruo became even happier at this way of addressing him. “Yes. He heard you angered the teachers into running away, and his face was so long just now. Don’t force yourself. If you want to study, study a little. If you get tired, rest. I’m different from him. Just the fact that you’re willing to take the action of studying already makes me very happy. How about Mom takes you out for dinner tonight?”

“No. I have homework to do tonight.”

It had been too long since she had systematically studied high school knowledge. She needed time to adapt.

“All right, then Mom will buy some delicious food and tonics to send over.”

“Auntie Zhou has already prepared everything.”

“You’re working so hard. No matter how much is prepared, it won’t be enough. Just be obedient and listen, all right? You’re not allowed to refuse again.”

Xu Ancheng felt that her mother was simply treating her like a child.

Wait.

She was indeed her mother’s child.

So unfamiliar.

She did not mean Yun Ruo.

She was dazed for a while. Auntie Zhou said dinner was ready and asked whether Xu Ancheng still needed her to do anything tonight.

Xu Ancheng said no. She went to the dining room to eat her dinner, then suddenly remembered something. “Xu Wei said I angered the teachers into running away?”

Auntie Zhou revealed a trace of helplessness. “I only told the chairman that the teachers all taught very quickly. Before I could explain, he hung up.”

Xu Ancheng scratched her face.

It was indeed very quick.

Auntie Zhou had told the teachers in advance about this student’s actual situation: she had only studied until the second year of high school, might not have even finished the high school curriculum, had failed exams since elementary school, and had even once scored six points on a high school math exam. A teacher had commented that even choosing C for every answer would have gotten her more than that. That teacher was soon dismissed by the school. From then on, even if Xu Ancheng scored six points, the teachers would praise her.

The teachers: Understood. We’re here to teach a fool who needs to be held in the palm of our hands.

Money was hard to earn, shit was hard to eat. They had made full psychological preparations. After arriving, they first encouraged and praised her, then cautiously gave her a middle-school or first-year high-school paper to try.

If that did not work, they could lower the difficulty again. They were only here to amuse the little princess, after all.

Xu Ancheng finished the paper in thirty minutes. She had guessed that when the teachers came, they would first test her foundation, so she had roughly reviewed a little last night. She simply had not expected the papers the teachers gave her to be at a level she could casually complete even without reviewing.

After the teachers received the papers, their eyes widened. Once they quickly marked the papers and found almost no mistakes, they left homework and departed just as quickly. Four subject teachers had come today. Three of them told Auntie Zhou that they needed to go back and revise their teaching plans and class schedules. The remaining one was socially anxious and only gave Auntie Zhou a reserved nod.

“She is a very outstanding student,” this teacher said.

Auntie Zhou did not know how the chairman had understood it. She looked at Xu Ancheng’s back as she ate dinner seriously and thought: How could a person change into this in an instant?

The doorbell rang. Auntie Zhou went to open the door. Yun Ruo came in carrying large and small bags, her face glowing with happiness. “I came to see my hardworking baby~”

Xu Ancheng: …

She was not very used to this.

Her mother had not brought much food or drink, but she had brought some exquisite little things for her, such as an LV schoolbag, the latest and most expensive notebook, aromatherapy, fountain pens, and a new iPad.

She really knew how to do this, Xu Ancheng thought, then said, “Thank you, Miss Yun.”

Miss Yun was very happy. She asked whether Xu Ancheng was tired today. When Yun Ruo saw the entire wall of books that had not been there the last time she came, she hugged Xu Ancheng, who was still drinking soup, and kissed her cheek.

“It’s enough that she has this attitude,” Yun Ruo said to Auntie Zhou. “I truly don’t require her to take the exam and achieve any particular results. As long as her mind isn’t filled every day with nothing but Omegas, that’s enough. I just heard Xu Wei say she isn’t getting married anymore. That’s good too. Although Su Jiu is a pretty good child, I’m already satisfied as long as Ancheng knows to do something proper.”

Auntie Zhou: Wasn’t that the truth? In the past, she had not done a single proper thing.

“She’s changed so much recently. It can’t be that someone outside said something and provoked her, can it? If she feels unwell anywhere or is in a bad mood, tell me,” Yun Ruo said.

Auntie Zhou agreed softly and let out a light sigh.

She also hoped that Xu Ancheng’s inexplicable change for the better could last a little longer. It was not that she had any feelings for Xu Ancheng. It was just that when an oddity returned to being a normal person, there was a long-lasting sense of joy, as if society itself were stepping back onto the right track, and everything in the world could still be saved.

When Su Jiu received Xu Wei’s call, she had already mentally prepared herself for him to make any request beyond the bounds of normality. She had not expected Xu Wei to actually inform her that the marriage would be postponed.

“Although I say postponed, Xiao Cheng’s meaning is to cancel it. Starting today, you don’t need to regard yourself as the Xu family’s daughter-in-law anymore.”

Su Jiu held back the urge to ask who exactly had ever wanted to be the Xu family’s daughter-in-law, and asked calmly, “Then what about my mother?”

“According to Xiao Cheng’s wishes, the surgery is arranged for five days from now. It just so happens that there is a suitable kidney source recently.”

“It isn’t that you killed someone and stole it, is it?”

Only then did Xu Wei discover that his daughter had been very right. Su Jiu was a wild rose covered entirely in thorns, not caring about anything. These words were absolutely not something an Omega who needed to rely on him to treat her mother’s illness should be able to say.

“No. Xiao Cheng specifically reminded me.”

Su Jiu gave a cold laugh.

Having been reborn, the first thing Su Jiu had done was get in contact with the hospital. This kidney source was one she had personally found: a serial killer who would be executed during this period of time. She had put in a great deal of effort to finally confirm the kidney source. She had already found the doctors and staff, and everything was ready. A few days later, her mother would be secretly transferred out of the hospital and undergo the kidney transplant surgery at a private hospital.

She had long since made every preparation. With one casual sentence, Xu Wei had erased all her efforts, and she was still supposed to specially thank the Xu family?

Su Jiu said, “Understood.”

Xu Wei: …

One after another, both of them existed to anger him.
