The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 2
Chapter 002: The Voice in the Darkness
However, the “Miss Chen” they were talking about didn’t seem to think that way. Facing the stream of people rushing forward to flatter her, Miss Chen wore a perfect smile. But due to the shape of her eyes, her smile always gave people a squinty-eyed impression.
It couldn’t help but make people think—squinty eyes are not a good thing.
Of course, this kind of talk would never be said in front of Chen Mengyi. If it were, who knows what tricks this “smiling tiger” might pull behind the scenes? Some people had suffered losses from Chen Mengyi, both openly and secretly, in the business world, so upon seeing Chen Mengyi’s smile, they quickly retreated, leaving only a group of clueless individuals whispering sweet nothings in front of her.
They had just been saying that no one would want Chen Mengyi, but now they were acting like a pack of pugs. Their behavior was bound to be chewed over by others later.
Chen Mengyi appeared to respond to everyone, and with extreme politeness at that, but in reality, she was taking notes on all of them.
Bai Yue clearly disliked being surrounded by so many people. Saying softly, “I’m going to grab a drink,” she turned her wheelchair and left Chen Mengyi.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Chen Mengyi didn’t want Bai Yue to leave. But she didn’t stop Bai Yue, only allowing her smile to slightly fade as she watched Bai Yue depart. Only after Bai Yue was gone did she gently adjust her skirt and turn to chat with those around her. Occasionally, when she turned back, her eyes involuntarily began to follow Bai Yue.
Bai Yue maneuvered her wheelchair, searching for something in the ballroom. Most people kept their distance from where she went. This was natural; there was probably no one in the world who would want to associate with a cripple. So everyone around her avoided her hastily.
After searching for a while, Bai Yue found one person on the periphery of the crowd. It was a woman, who looked delicate and pitiful like a small white flower, with a hint of bewilderment deep in her eyes. Just then, she heard the discussion of others nearby.
“Oh, is that Miss Su’s daughter? Even though she’s an Alpha, she’s too weak, not even as strong as that cripple from the Bai family. She was sickly all the time before, and would burst into tears if she spoke. Last time she was with the other Alphas of the Su family, someone even pushed her into the water. I heard she had a major illness and now doesn’t remember things from before. I wonder if it’s true.”
“Haha, well, after ‘the Bai family cripple of Yunhai City,’ we’ll have ‘the Su family fool,’ won’t we?”
The voices of these people were particularly grating. Hearing them made Bai Yue’s ears itch, but she didn’t take it to heart. After all, they weren’t wrong; she was a cripple. She was the type to let insults pass through her ears and never dwell in her heart. However, based on the chatter, Bai Yue confirmed one thing.
—The female protagonist has transmigrated.
She said this because Bai Yue was also a transmigrator, a person who had transmigrated into a book. As a lesbian who hid her sexual orientation, Bai Yue had many female friends her age. She was a bit timid, afraid to come out and even more afraid to actively expand her social circle, so Bai Yue had never had a girlfriend.
Once, a female friend recommended a novel to her.
The reason was: “Hey, the villain in this book has the same name as you. You should read it. Maybe if you ever transmigrate, you can use the plot for some useful information.”
Her friend’s words truly became a self-fulfilling prophecy. After Bai Yue finished reading it, she really did transmigrate. As a lesbian, reading a romance novel was already depressing enough, but this novel was very popular and widely circulated in her friend group. To avoid being completely excluded from the circle, and also because the Bai Yue in the book had a wife, Bai Yue finished the book while complaining about it.
In summary: Chen Mengyi in the book was quite good; she truly never abandoned the villain.
Yet, in the end, the wife, Chen Mengyi, went to prison with the villainous counterpart, Bai Yue. Bai Yue really didn’t understand why the villainous counterpart couple in a romance novel would be a lesbian pairing. She had complained, “The author who wrote this book might be a closeted lesbian herself. Could a straight female author really write a Yuri CP?”
She even flipped through the comment section. Well, it turned out there were quite a lot of straight women who were fans of the Yuri CP these days, and many were attacking the author: “Give me back the happy ending for my Yuri CP!”
The author pretended not to hear, continuing to write her side stories about the male and female protagonists. Bai Yue didn’t know whether it was because the author’s writing had aroused so much divine wrath or what the situation was, but she—she transmigrated. She truly became the sinister, paranoid, and cunning villain from the book, the Alpha Bai Yue who shared her name.
She transmigrated when she was only six years old, mysteriously becoming a cripple due to a pheromone disorder.
This detail perfectly matched the author’s setting. The author didn’t write any specific reason, as she was just a villain, simply saying in passing that the villain had an accident after the novel’s main events and became a cripple who couldn’t walk. Bai Yue initially wanted to resist and find a way back to the real world.
But no matter how hard she tried, even considering extreme methods like “kicking the bucket,” not only did she fail to die, but she was alive and kicking.
Gradually, she thought, Forget it, let it be.
Being a cripple wasn’t a huge problem, especially a rich cripple. Although travel was inconvenient, at home, she was completely pampered. She merely had to extend her hand for clothes and open her mouth for food; the maids took care of every detail.
She ate and drank well, and the maids always looked at her with pity. The only problem was that her schoolmates inevitably looked at her with disdain, and some would bully her, both openly and secretly. In these situations, she told both her parents and teachers, and soon the bullies all disappeared from her sight.
This led to rumors spreading throughout the school that she must have secretly hired someone to get rid of them.
These kinds of rumors were only spread in elementary school, and Bai Yue didn’t take them seriously. Who knew that by middle school and high school, they would spread even further, creating an image of her as a fiend in the eyes of the other students. She wasn’t the original Bai Yue, who was treacherous and brutal; she was clearly a good kid!
During her growth, Chen Mengyi also came to her side. When the Chen family sent Chen Mengyi to the Bai family, they used the pretext of borrowing money. They also told outsiders, “We just feel sorry for the Bai family’s young lady being all alone. The Bai family is also close to the school, so Mengyi is just staying there for a while.”
But anyone with eyes knew that Chen Mengyi was sent in as a child bride for Bai Yue. A marriage agreement had long been settled privately with Bai Yue’s two mothers, waiting for the right moment for the engagement and wedding.
But Bai Yue truly only saw Chen Mengyi as a little sister!
First of all, her soul was that of an adult. Even though she was put into a child’s body, she was still a mature adult. So even though Bai Yue knew she was engaged to Chen Mengyi, she couldn’t view Chen Mengyi as a romantic partner, only as a younger sister.
She acted accordingly. Thinking of the novel’s description of Chen Mengyi, writing about her constantly being beaten and punished, about the red marks on her back from “Bai Yue’s” whipping, Bai Yue’s heart ached. So she treated Chen Mengyi with exceptional gentleness and care. It was just that her occasionally air-headed personality would show through, as she constantly thought about taking Chen Mengyi out to play.
It was thanks to Bai Yue’s care for Chen Mengyi that Chen Mengyi didn’t go astray and grew up to be a particularly healthy and cheerful person.
It was just her appearance; when she smiled, she was a bit squinty-eyed, which made her look somewhat like a “smiling tiger.”
Bai Yue swore that Chen Mengyi definitely wasn’t a smiling tiger, she just looked a bit like one when she smiled!
Ahem, back to the main topic. Today was the day the male and female protagonists met for the first time, and it was also the female protagonist’s first banquet after transmigrating. The reason Bai Yue was looking for Miss Su, the female protagonist, was entirely because she had to fulfill her responsibilities as a villain!
For some reason, Bai Yue had recently felt a voice talking to her while she slept. When she woke up, she only vaguely remembered: As long as she completed the plot, she could successfully return to the real world, back home!
Although the life of a wealthy heiress was quite good, Bai Yue was a cripple, and one with an incurable illness at that.
After thinking for a minute, Bai Yue still felt: It’s better to go home. Although she wouldn’t have much money, she would be a normal person. A normal person can do so much more than a cripple. She wanted to run, to jump, and to see tall mountains. She didn’t want to be trapped in a small wheelchair, having to constantly lift her head just to look at others.
However, doing bad things had to be methodical. She would try her best to follow the plot, but she absolutely could not break the law or involve Chen Mengyi. She couldn’t let Chen Mengyi suffer even a little bit of harm. Bai Yue had already planned it out: when the plot was almost complete, she would secretly write a will, leaving all her assets to Chen Mengyi.
Bai Yue found Miss Su, but she didn’t rush over, as it wasn’t her turn yet. According to the novel’s description, she had to wait for the male protagonist to enter before she could go over, splash Miss Su with red wine, and mercilessly mock her.
At that point, the male protagonist would think Miss Su was a bullied Omega, then protect her and take her to the lounge. Who knew that the other person was not only an Alpha but would also discover that he was actually an Omega?
That’s right, this was a novel about a female Alpha and a male Omega (female A, male O). It was no wonder Bai Yue’s female friends liked to read it so much. It was just that… Bai Yue had no interest at all in the interaction between the male and female leads. She had skimmed the novel, only caring about the villain Bai Yue, who shared her name, and Chen Mengyi.
Bai Yue found a spot to park her wheelchair, then picked up a glass of red wine from a nearby table. She was eager, just waiting for the relevant characters to enter. However, just then, Chen Mengyi walked over.
She saw the glass of red wine in Bai Yue’s hand and silently swapped it for a glass of lemonade.
“Yueyue, your health isn’t good. You can’t drink red wine.”
“Huh?”
