The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 30

Chen Mengyi’s hair was partially tied up. Omegas, due to their scent glands, typically avoid hairstyles that fully expose the back of their neck when out in public. Chen Mengyi’s hair was swept from the back, braided, and placed over her chest.

However, the braid was loose, and many strands still fell at the back of her head, creating a semi-enclosed circle that covered her nape.

The time she hadn’t braided it, her hair was loose and scattered, with a few strands falling around the back of her head, which actually looked quite attractive.

She wore a long-sleeved shirt made of earthy yellow linen on top and white wide-legged trousers of the same material below. On her feet, she wore simple, low-heeled sandals. This outfit would usually look a bit dated, but Chen Mengyi’s excellent body proportions gave it a unique flair.

She also carried a small clutch, though she wasn’t wearing it; she casually tucked it into Bai Yue’s wheelchair. Upon reaching the mall, Chen Mengyi took Bai Yue upstairs, beginning their itinerary for the day. Since it wasn’t a holiday, the mall was not very crowded. Even on a holiday, this mall wouldn’t be overly packed, as its target audience was limited.

The mall specialized in high-end luxury brands. The first floor was dedicated to watches and jewelry counters, where there were more sales staff than customers. Thinking about it, since transmigrating, Bai Yue hadn’t really experienced the luxury shopping enjoyed by the wealthy.

Her mobility issues made her reluctant to go out, and she was never lacking for anything, so she didn’t need to shop for herself.

Being at the mall with Chen Mengyi now actually felt like a shopping trip, which sparked Bai Yue’s interest. Since they arrived quite early, why not seize the moment to shop? The first stop was a jewelry store. Bai Yue was extremely tempted by the beautiful jewelry displayed in the cabinets.

Bai Yue pressed the controls on her wheelchair and led the way into a jewelry store. The staff inside saw Bai Yue and greeted her with smiles. The kind of contemptuous “snob” scenario often depicted in novels was uncommon in real life, especially among sales staff at luxury brand counters.

They were all trained professionals. If they constantly looked down on people and were frequently complained about, they would be fired by the store manager within two days.

So, even seeing Bai Yue in a wheelchair, the salesperson maintained her professional demeanor. Noticing that Bai Yue, sitting in a wheelchair, couldn’t clearly see the items displayed in the counter, and observing Chen Mengyi’s attire behind her, she led them to the VIP room, brought in many pieces of jewelry, and began explaining them to Bai Yue and Chen Mengyi.

Bai Yue finally satisfied her inner nouveau riche, trying on many pieces for both herself and Chen Mengyi. If she found them attractive, she bought them all. She knew the prices were high, but she also knew her personal treasury was vast and where the Bai family ranked in Yunhai City.

If she couldn’t afford these things, who was the target audience? Therefore, she bought these items without any financial burden whatsoever.

“Yueyue, do you really like these accessories?”

Chen Mengyi saw Bai Yue signing a large stack of receipts and genuinely thought Bai Yue liked them. Bai Yue, however, shook her head: “To be honest, I don’t love them that much.” This was the truth. Moreover, Bai Yue rarely went out. Since she was paralyzed and mobility was an issue, wearing bracelets or earrings could be tricky if they accidentally snagged or rubbed against something.

She looked at Chen Mengyi instead: “Mengyi, you look great in jewelry. You’re usually too simple; you should wear more beautiful things.”

Chen Mengyi pressed her lips together and smiled. How can I be simple? Bai Yue just rarely attended business banquets. If she did go to those events, she would see Chen Mengyi glittering with jewelry. Many pieces were Bai family collections that money couldn’t usually buy.

It was only when she was going to work that she usually didn’t wear much jewelry, making her seem plainer.

It was true that Bai Yue didn’t wear much jewelry. She hadn’t even pierced her ears in this life and didn’t have many opportunities to wear accessories. Besides, based on her observation, Alphas didn’t wear much either. Even during their prime youthful years in school, female Alphas rarely wore accessories.

After entering society, they wore accessories more often than they did as students. For Alphas, accessories weren’t tools to adorn their beauty; they were tools to showcase their wealth.

Similarly, if the Omega accompanying her wore luxurious jewelry, it served the same purpose of displaying her wealth.

Bai Yue realized this and looked at Chen Mengyi: “Mengyi, I hope you wear these accessories because you like them, not because you need them. Although this might sound arrogant, you know that the entire Bai family is your backing. Aside from that, we can walk sideways in Yunhai City without a problem.”

Chen Mengyi was even happier. Her eyes squinted slightly from smiling so much. She said softly: “I know.”

She was happy not because the Bai family was her backing, but because Bai Yue was willing to be her backing. The Bai family was indeed wealthy, but what delighted Chen Mengyi more was Bai Yue’s sincerity. What Bai Yue said now was no different from offering her own heart to Chen Mengyi.

That alone was enough to make Chen Mengyi happy.

She reached out and rested her hand on the back of Bai Yue’s hand, smiling widely: “I’m your backing too. We can definitely walk sideways in Yunhai City.”

Provided we don’t do anything illegal or disorderly, Bai Yue secretly added internally. Her mentality was quite un-villainous. What villain doesn’t break the law? If they don’t, are they still villains? But Bai Yue had been an ordinary person for so many years; the mindset of a small-town civilian was deeply ingrained in her bones.

She truly didn’t dare to do anything illegal or disorderly…

After buying jewelry, the two continued their shopping spree. Clothes, bought! Shoes, bought! Cosmetics, bought!

In short, it was one word—Buy.

Awesome, this is too awesome. The feeling of shopping relentlessly without having to consider the cost made Bai Yue feel ecstatic. The only minor issue was that the clothing sections in the mall were highly segregated. Typically, malls only categorized women’s clothing as “juniors” or “misses,” but in the ABO world, it was clearly divided into Omega female wear, Omega male wear, Beta clothing, and Alpha clothing.

Yes, Alpha clothing stores didn’t strictly separate male and female clothes initially. Only upon entering would one find the distinction, but once inside, they would see that Alpha women’s clothing rarely included skirts; it was almost entirely trousers.

It made sense: the majority of female Alphas were butch, so wearing trousers was the norm. However, Bai Yue had many small dresses because her legs were inconvenient, and wearing trousers was torture. Skirts were much better.

She could technically wear Omega women’s clothes, but the sizing was difficult. Fortunately, most of her clothes were custom-made.

The same applied to Chen Mengyi in this aspect. Because of her height, while tops were okay, the size of her skirts and trousers was often a size too small. Furthermore, something that truly angered Bai Yue was that Omega clothing sizes in this world were genuinely very small. A woman with Chen Mengyi’s beautiful figure actually had to wear an XL size? Huh?! How was this different from her pre-transmigration world!

Bai Yue genuinely detested the sizing issue. The stereotype of Omegas in this world was almost identical to that of women in her past life: they were expected to be petite and sweet, so clothing sizes became smaller and smaller. After Chen Mengyi tried on a few outfits, Bai Yue realized this problem.

Seriously, who are these clothes being manufactured for?

Chen Mengyi selected a few outfits, and the size she chose was XL. In the Alpha ready-to-wear store, the sizing was perfectly normal. A body shape like Bai Yue’s could even wear a size S. She was an Alpha, after all, and even if she was thin, her bone structure was bigger than Chen Mengyi’s.

A comical situation arose: Bai Yue wore a size S, and Chen Mengyi wore a size XL. It seemed that as long as one wore male-gendered clothing, body anxiety disappeared.

Bai Yue lost her enthusiasm for shopping and urged Chen Mengyi to go eat first. But on the way to the restaurant, they encountered their target duo—Su Xi and Zhao Yueting. The way they strolled, hand in hand, looked like a couple in love to anyone, especially with the radiant smile on Zhao Yueting’s face. Even Chen Mengyi, next to Bai Yue, had to comment:

“Yueyue, it looks like the heroine you designated has fallen in love with Zhao Yueting. Is Zhao Yueting the other heroine in the script?”

“No, she’s an extra.” Bai Yue only knew Zhao Yueting’s name because Chen Mengyi had mentioned it. Other than that, she had never heard the name before. This meant the person didn’t even appear in the novel; she was an extra among extras, probably just one of the wealthy Omega socialites the author described silently chewing on their handkerchiefs while watching Su Xi and Bai Shizhou’s sweet romance at the banquet.

Simply put, she was background scenery.

Chen Mengyi didn’t expect Zhao Yueting to be such a minor character. She laughed: “Well, you’ll have to upgrade Zhao Yueting’s status. She’s getting quite cozy with Su Xi now.”

Bai Yue looked at Chen Mengyi and sighed.

See? To everyone in this world, they looked like a couple in love, not just good friends. But in Su Xi’s mind, wasn’t walking hand-in-hand with her best friend in a mall perfectly normal?

Bai Yue was somewhat eager to play the villain and separate them now, because this time she had a legitimate reason: even though she was doing a villainous deed, she was actually a good person. She was doing it to prevent Zhao Yueting from getting too deeply involved. She was doing it entirely for someone else’s good!

Bai Yue pressed the button on her wheelchair and nodded toward Chen Mengyi, the expression clearly meaning: Mengyi, follow me.

Chen Mengyi lifted her feet slightly and followed Bai Yue as she headed toward the two women. Before Bai Yue even reached them, the sound of her electric wheelchair had caught their attention. They looked at Bai Yue and Chen Mengyi. Zhao Yueting looked slightly embarrassed, intending to pull her hand out of Su Xi’s arm, but Su Xi stood there dumbfounded, not moving.

Seeing that Su Xi wasn’t trying to hide from others, Zhao Yueting’s face flushed, and she didn’t withdraw her arm either.

And Bai Yue saw all of it.
