The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 12

Honestly, Bai Yue’s action was really reminiscent of a pervert… Fortunately, no one knew whose handkerchief it was; they just thought it belonged to Bai Yue, and she was simply covering her nose because she couldn’t stand the smell.

Bai Yue secretly braced herself, tried hard for a moment, and finally forced out a semblance of a spoiled heir: “Call your Zhang Haiyin over. She, she can’t possibly keep me from going up…” The first part of the sentence carried some authority, but after everyone looked over, Bai Yue’s voice trailed off a bit.

Wuwuwu, she still couldn’t do it. What should she do…

Just then, Mama Li next to her fully demonstrated the professionalism expected of a loyal subordinate. She glanced at Bai Yue, then stepped forward herself: “Miss, you may not know who our young lady is. Look closely; this is Miss Bai Yue, the Chairwoman of the Bai Group. Your Haiyin Entertainment Company is just a small subsidiary of the Bai Group. If you offend our young lady, can you bear the consequences?”

The front desk lady hadn’t spoken yet, but Bai Yue was truly impressed with Mama Li. Her demeanor was exactly like the managing matron next to an evil female supporting character in a drama. If readers saw that smug expression, they would surely want to smack her.

Facing the two menacing female Alphas in front of her, the Beta lady at the front desk showed a slight expression of humiliation. Then she could only say: “You cannot enter without an appointment. I must call Ms. Zhang first.”

The front desk lady glared fiercely at them while picking up the front desk phone to dial an internal number. While she was communicating with the floor above, Bai Yue beckoned to Mama Li. Mama Li leaned in, and Bai Yue whispered to her: “Mama Li, you were a bit too much just now. Don’t scare the little girl into tears.”

“What’s wrong? Didn’t I perform well? I learned all that from short videos. The evil Omega and her flunky in those videos all act like that.”

—No wonder I had such a strong sense of déjà vu. Mama Li, you must be watching the same short videos as me!

Bai Yue felt her toes subtly aching again, wishing she could claw the ground right then and there. She lowered her head, afraid to look around, fearing she would see the expressions of people looking at her as if she were an evil female supporting character. However, Mama Li’s performance was indeed excellent. Her expression and posture suggested genuine emotion.

Hmm, as my maid, the villain, she certainly has some talent.

While Bai Yue was reflecting, she saw a somewhat familiar person rushing over from the elevator lobby. She had a slight impression of him, having seen him yesterday behind Zhang Haiyin. The person was a male Beta. With a hint of a fawning smile, he invited Bai Yue upstairs.

“Miss Bai, why didn’t you inform us you were coming? Our front desk has been negligent. Ms. Zhang is currently out, but I’ve already notified her, and she will return shortly. Please wait in the reception room for a moment.” Bai Yue naturally agreed. She pressed the button on her wheelchair and followed the man upstairs. After entering the reception room, the man politely asked her what she would like to drink.

At that moment, Bai Yue had a sudden brain freeze and replied: “I want milk tea.”

“Huh?”

Since she had already said it, there was no turning back. Bai Yue repeated, very seriously and earnestly: “I want milk tea. Three cups of milk tea with boba, seven parts sugar, and less ice, thank you.”

Not only did she ask for milk tea, but she specified the type of milk tea, and even the level of sweetness and ice. The male Beta assistant had clearly never encountered such an outrageous request in a business setting, but an excellent assistant must remain unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before him. So, after a three-second pause, he quickly agreed.

“Alright, Miss Bai. Three cups of milk tea with boba, seven parts sugar, and less ice. I’ll be back in five minutes.”

Ordering delivery wouldn’t be fast enough in five minutes, and the male Beta didn’t trust anyone else to do it. If it wasn’t done in time, wouldn’t it lower his company’s evaluation within the Group? He had seen Zhang Haiyin’s hard work and effort every day, and in this moment, he felt he couldn’t let his boss be treated differently by the Chairwoman because of his inefficiency.

So, the male Beta immediately began a mad dash. Within five minutes, he delivered the specifically requested milk tea to Bai Yue.

He was already panting, out of breath, the sound suggesting he might collapse at any second. It was the sound of a climber conquered by Mount Tai, no longer putting up a fight.

“Miss, Miss Bai, your, your milk tea!”

The milk tea with reduced ice was placed on the table, and a bead of water slid down the cup onto the tabletop. Bai Yue’s eyes were fixed on the milk tea, shining with astonishing brightness.

Oh, my goodness, it’s milk tea! It’s three cups of milk tea with boba, seven parts sugar, and less ice!

Bai Yue didn’t know how long it had been since she had milk tea. If she hadn’t craved it so intensely, she wouldn’t have asked for three cups. That wasn’t just milk tea; it was a calorie bomb! Even in her past life, it was something she rarely drank because it was too fattening.

But in this life, she was so thin. What was wrong with drinking a calorie bomb!

Bai Yue argued with herself internally, though she still felt a little guilty externally. But even if she felt guilty, she was going to drink this calorie bomb because she really, really wanted milk tea.

Bai Yue waited until Zhang Haiyin’s assistant had temporarily left, then wheeled closer to the table and leaned over to grab the milk tea. Just as her hand reached out, Mama Li intercepted her: “Miss, Miss Chen said you cannot drink this kind of unhealthy stuff.”

Great, I have a whole entourage of ‘housekeepers.’ Chen Mengyi had successfully implemented the policy of “defending Bai Yue from eating/drinking this kind of thing” across everyone in the Bai family.

Bai Yue’s eyes rolled around, and she thought of a brilliant plan. She put on the demeanor of an evil female supporting character: “I want to drink milk tea, and if you stop me, I’ll fire you!”

To her surprise, Mama Li was completely unfazed and even presented Bai Yue with a calculation: “That’s fine. Go ahead and fire me. I started working for the Bai family when you were six years old. You are twenty-six now, so I’ve worked for twenty years. The Bai family’s compensation has always been good. I’m entitled to N+3 severance pay. That means you have to pay me twenty-three months’ salary. This way, I can collect two years’ worth of salary all at once and happily go home and retire.”

How infuriating. Not only was she not afraid of being fired, but she was practically eager for it.

Bai Yue realized that acting like an evil supporting character wouldn’t work. She pursed her lips and started to whine: “I don’t care! I want to drink it! I’ve never had milk tea in my whole life!”

This trick didn’t work either. Mama Li recited a list of facts: “You have drunk it. In sixth grade, you and your classmates drank milk tea outside the school gate without telling the driver, which caused your family to panic, and the driver almost resigned out of guilt.”

“In the second year of junior high, you abandoned Miss Chen to buy spicy sticks with a classmate from the next class, which made Miss Chen cry.”

“In high school…”

Bai Yue raised her hand: “Stop, don’t say any more.”

Because of Mama Li’s speech, Bai Yue couldn’t reach for the milk tea. She could only sit in her wheelchair and stare at it, her expression utterly miserable. Her left eye spelled “Thirst,” and her right eye spelled “Want.” Her pitiful appearance was enough to make onlookers weep and feel heartbroken.

Mama Li had been taking care of Bai Yue for a long time. Seeing her sad expression, she couldn’t help but sigh: “Miss, just one sip. I’ll keep it a secret; I won’t tell Miss Chen.”

Indeed, the favored always win, and Bai Yue was no exception.

She didn’t know why Mama Li suddenly changed her mind, but being able to drink milk tea was all that mattered! She exclaimed, “Hooray!” and, with lightning speed, picked up the milk tea from the table. The assistant had removed the outer plastic bag, and even the straw was laid flat beside the milk tea. She grabbed one of each and brought them directly in front of her.

She placed the milk tea on the table, picked up the straw, skillfully stripped off the paper wrapper, then raised it and plunged it into the milk tea. With a pop, the milk tea was punctured. Bai Yue immediately picked up the cup, bit down on the straw, and took a big gulp, Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp.

What a life, drinking milk tea in an air-conditioned room in the summer!

The sweet taste of flavorings, creamers, and various additives—it had been too long!

This extraordinary experience provided by cheap milk tea made Bai Yue utterly addicted.

Milk tea might be unhealthy, but it was so delicious, especially for someone like Bai Yue who hadn’t had any in a long time; it was like a divine potion. She took another sip, and up came the boba. The boba was chewier than the milk tea, and when she bit into it, it provided a small burst, leaving Bai Yue completely satisfied.

Another sip brought pudding mixed with coconut jelly. Sweet, too sweet.

Bai Yue drank with immense satisfaction. Mama Li, who had originally said only one sip, didn’t say anything more, indulging Bai Yue and letting her continue drinking.

After the initial few big gulps, Bai Yue slowed down to a steady pace. But there was only so much milk tea, plus all the toppings. By the end, only the sinking pearls remained. Bai Yue aimed the straw at the pearls and slowly sucked them up to chew.

Just at that moment, the door to the reception room opened. Bai Yue thought Zhang Haiyin had returned and looked toward the door. The moment she lifted her head, the familiar scent of sage filled her nose. She saw Chen Mengyi standing at the doorway, with Zhang Haiyin behind her.

At this very moment, she was still holding the milk tea cup with one hand supporting the bottom, the other hand holding the straw aimed at a pearl, and her mouth actively sucking.

The moment she saw Chen Mengyi, a quiet voice sounded in Bai Yue’s heart: Uh-oh, I’m busted.
