The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 29

The following days proceeded as scheduled. Bai Yue still had nothing much to do all day, only occasionally dragging the assistant Chen Mengyi had assigned her to the set for a visit. If Su Xi happened to be present, Wang Yao would automatically and spontaneously transform into the wicked villain’s flunky, proudly engaging in provocation.

Her performance was more authentic than Bai Yue, the actual villain.

Since Wang Yao had already stepped up, Bai Yue felt she couldn’t lag behind. She secluded herself at home to study “how to be an excellent villain,” carefully reading up on the demeanor of villains in various female-female novels on the market.

The only problem was that most villains had to compete with the Omega heroine for the Alpha female.

This made things difficult for Bai Yue. Setting aside everything else, she and Su Xi, the heroine, were both Alphas, and Su Xi’s official partner was the male Omega, Bai Shizhou. If the target were a female Omega, Bai Yue might steel herself and pretend to play along, but since the target was a male, Bai Yue could only choose to “politely decline.”

Besides, Bai Yue genuinely had no interest in fighting anyone for a person. Even if Bai Shizhou were female, putting her and Chen Mengyi together… if Bai Yue didn’t stay with Chen Mengyi but chased Bai Shizhou instead, wouldn’t she be insane?

Even if Bai Yue sincerely considered Chen Mengyi a sister, she couldn’t pursue someone else while engaged. Wouldn’t that make her a complete scumbag?

When Bai Yue was younger and didn’t know she was a lesbian, she watched some idol dramas. There were many plots where the male protagonist, who was engaged, repeatedly claimed he only saw his fiancée as a sister. Then, upon meeting his true love, he would immediately pursue her fiercely.

And during these moments, directors and authors loved to emphasize the fiancée’s humiliation.

In those moments, Bai Yue always thought: Please, who likes watching this kind of plot? If you truly only see her as a sister and meet someone you like, then break off the engagement first. Apologize, pay compensation, and only pursue the other person without harming your fiancée!

And don’t pull the “I can’t help it because she refuses to break the engagement” card. That truly made Bai Yue nauseous. Wasn’t that just shifting all the blame onto the fiancée? If he truly didn’t want the engagement, could they force him to the engagement ceremony? And wouldn’t you know it, there were even characters who went to the ceremony and then reneged on the engagement right there.

After stepping into this kind of character role, Bai Yue understood Chen Mengyi’s difficulties even more. The engagement with Chen Mengyi involved many factors. Although Bai Yue genuinely saw Chen Mengyi as a sister, the engagement absolutely couldn’t be canceled directly, as it concerned Chen Mengyi’s legitimacy within the Bai Group.

Once the engagement was canceled, Chen Mengyi, as an Omega, would face even greater difficulties in the company. The Bai Group belonged to the Bai family, but Bai Yue wasn’t the only person named Bai. She had many relatives, including an Alpha aunt overseas. If the engagement were canceled, that aunt could return at any time and kick Chen Mengyi out.

Even without canceling the engagement, if Bai Yue truly started playing the game of stealing Su Xi’s man, Chen Mengyi would be gossiped about behind her back, and her authority in the company would be halved.

So, even if Bai Yue lost her mind, she couldn’t possibly do something like that.

After studying the villains in popular novels for a while, she sobered up and decided to stick to the original plot. At least… the villain Bai Yue in the original story didn’t actually fight Su Xi for a man.

After ending her seclusion, Bai Yue asked Wang Yao about Su Xi’s recent situation. According to Bai Yue’s understanding, although there were minor deviations in the beginning, in most novels, the hero and heroine eventually get together. Su Xi and Bai Shizhou should be in a passionate romance by now.

However, Wang Yao’s report was completely different.

“Recently, Miss Zhao Yueting has frequently asked Miss Su Xi out for tea, shopping, and movies, and Miss Su Xi seems to enjoy it. Aside from that, Miss Su Xi has been staying at the company, very dedicated to the movie she’s investing in. During the period following her fainting, when her personality changed, the Su family seems to have realized that Miss Su Xi is salvageable, so they’ve started letting her gradually handle the company’s affairs.”

Bai Yue was a little stunned. Putting aside Su Xi handling company affairs, she couldn’t help but ask: “Who is Zhao Yueting?”

She vaguely felt she had heard the name, but couldn’t recall who it was. Wang Yao flipped through her files and began reading Zhao Yueting’s details. After listening, Bai Yue still felt unfamiliar with the name. She told Wang Yao to stop, pulled out her phone, and immediately called Chen Mengyi.

Bai Yue didn’t know who Zhao Yueting was, but Chen Mengyi surely did. She felt the name had some distinguishing attributes that Chen Mengyi would recognize. In short, if she didn’t know something, she would ask Chen Mengyi.

“Yueyue, is something the matter?”

“Mengyi, do you know who Zhao Yueting is? I feel like the name is familiar, but I can’t remember who.”

Chen Mengyi did know: “Yes, I know her. You met her once. She was at the banquet we attended a while ago, the one you accidentally spilled lemonade soda on Su Xi to avoid.”

—Oh, so that’s who it was!

With Chen Mengyi’s explanation, Bai Yue remembered, including the incident where… Zhao Yueting took Su Xi to the lounge to change clothes.

They talked a little more. After hanging up, Bai Yue felt more and more confused.

No way. Why was Su Xi hanging out with Zhao Yueting? And according to Wang Yao, they were eating, shopping, and watching movies together. They were one Alpha and one Omega; surely they weren’t sparking a romance?!

The more Bai Yue thought about it, the more confused she became. She was reading a romance novel, which meant Su Xi’s sexual orientation should be male. Even though she transmigrated as an Alpha, it couldn’t change her orientation that quickly!

She grew increasingly uneasy. After a while, she tapped her head to calm down and finally realized the loophole. Eating, shopping, and watching movies—that wasn’t exclusive to couples; best friends did that too. Su Xi was completely straight. Before transmigrating, she must have had many best friends whom she often hung out with.

Su Xi hadn’t been transmigrated for long. She probably hadn’t even fully embraced her Alpha status, which was why she often went out with Zhao Yueting. From Su Xi’s perspective, it was just a very normal sisterly friendship.

The problem was that from the perspective of others and Zhao Yueting, it wasn’t. Zhao Yueting was an Omega. She couldn’t be unaware of what it meant to hang out frequently with an Alpha. At that previous banquet, she seemed to be interested in Bai Shizhou.

Perhaps that interaction sparked her interest in Su Xi…

This matter should have been none of Bai Yue’s business, but the thought that Su Xi might be completely oblivious, that the two were ultimately destined not to be together, and that Zhao Yueting was giving her heart to the wrong person, made Bai Yue feel uneasy.

If she didn’t know, fine. But now that she knew, didn’t the scenario feel like… a lesbian desperately in love with a straight woman, thinking they were a perfect match only to find the straight woman was completely oblivious? Teacher, I cannot accept this plotline!

But directly talking to Zhao Yueting wouldn’t help, because Zhao Yueting was a normal person. As an Omega, it was perfectly normal for her to fall for an Alpha. If she talked about lesbians and straight women, Zhao Yueting might think she was crazy.

So, she could only approach Su Xi.

When Chen Mengyi returned in the evening, Bai Yue had already figured out a plan. She leaned over naughtily and whispered: “Let’s go watch a movie the day after tomorrow, too?”

Chen Mengyi instantly understood Bai Yue’s reason for wanting to watch a movie and asked her directly: “Yueyue, do you want to watch a movie because Su Xi and Zhao Yueting are going the day after tomorrow?” It wasn’t surprising to know they were going the day after tomorrow. Zhao Yueting’s social media was full of pictures of her and Su Xi.

Anyone who was friends with Zhao Yueting thought the two were dating. Although Bai Yue didn’t have Zhao Yueting’s contact info, she could find her through mutual friends. Besides, as a wealthy young lady in Yunhai City, and with Su Xi recently gaining minor “fame” for her online relationship, it wasn’t hard to find their social accounts.

Chen Mengyi exposed Bai Yue’s intention. Bai Yue laughed awkwardly: “So, are you going or not?”

“I’m going. Who else would go with you?”

Chen Mengyi wouldn’t refuse Bai Yue’s request. However, Bai Yue took advantage of the situation and even suggested having a barbecue that day. She said she had been carefully following the diet for a month, eating nothing she shouldn’t. Surely she could have some barbecue now?

Chen Mengyi rejected it: “No.” But Chen Mengyi was willing to compromise. After refusing, she offered a new suggestion: “No barbecue. The smoke is heavy, and if the food isn’t fully cooked and you get an upset stomach, it will be difficult to deal with. If your mouth feels too bland, let’s eat some Northeastern Chinese food.”

Bai Yue thought about it. She suddenly felt that for Chen Mengyi, a CEO in a novel, suggesting Northeastern Chinese food was a bit out of character. What kind of CEO would casually say, “Let’s eat food from my neck of the woods?” But, Northeastern Chinese food was indeed acceptable.

She thought of sweet and sour pork, fried potato, green pepper, and eggplant, and chicken stew with mushrooms, and her mouth watered. She nodded, pressing her luck: “I also want milk tea.”

“No iced drinks.”

Bai Yue was also very good at interpreting Chen Mengyi’s subtext. She quickly understood Chen Mengyi’s meaning and immediately nodded: “No ice, room temperature is fine!” It’s the middle of summer, and she won’t even let me drink iced drinks. Who besides me can put up with Chen Mengyi?

But having room temperature was still better than nothing. Room temperature milk tea was still milk tea, after all. If she could drink it, fine. Bai Yue was satisfied and began thinking about what kind of milk tea she wanted. What kind of milk tea tastes good at room temperature in the summer… Bai Yue fell into contemplation.

While she was thinking about what kind of milk tea to drink, two days quietly passed. She packed her small bag and waited to go out with Chen Mengyi. For the rare outing, Chen Mengyi changed into a light, practical outfit suitable for action.

Bai Yue glanced at her and only thought: As expected of Chen Mengyi, she looks great!
