After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 39

Lu Shangyi still didn’t come back today.

Qiao Yu pulled her gaze away from the window.

Song Wanying stood tall and graceful, leaning against a shelf nearby.

Seeing the subtle worry on Qiao Yu’s face, she said, “Actually, when the car accident happened, the doctors said she had no will to live.”

Qiao Yu looked up at Song Wanying, her fair face full of shock.

She moved her lips and asked softly, “Sister Lu?”

The woman nodded, her charming peach blossom eyes holding a hint of emotion.

“Maybe she’s just tough, or maybe she felt a mother’s persistence. After being in a coma for a full half-month, she finally fought her way back from the gates of hell.”

“But after she woke up, she was still listless. She didn’t smile or talk all day. When I went to see her back then, she had a cold, blank look on her face and didn’t even spare me a glance.”

Song Wanying’s tone didn’t sound like pity or regret.

“If she hadn’t blinked her eyelashes from time to time, I would have thought I was looking at a vegetative.”

Qiao Yu had never heard the details of the car accident.

She was intrigued by Song Wanying’s words and pulled a stool over to sit.

“Then what happened? How did Sister Lu get through it?”

Song Wanying shook her head slightly, a hint of apology on her face.

“I don’t know. I just know that a few days before she was discharged, she suddenly differentiated into an omega like you and then locked herself in her room for two full years.”

“If her aunt hadn’t cried and begged her every day,” Song Wanying shrugged, “your Sister Lu would probably be ashes by now.”

Automatically ignoring Song Wanying’s comment about her differentiating into an omega, Qiao Yu rested her face in her hands, her eyes full of questions.

“Sister Song, are you and Sister Lu very close?”

“We’re alright. The capital is small, and I’d run into her all the time. Even if we weren’t friends, we’d at least be familiar with each other. Plus, my grandfather and her grandfather have been good friends for many years. Ever since I can remember, our parents have been comparing me to her every day.”

She probably remembered her days of living in Lu Shangyi’s shadow.

Song Wanying’s eyes twitched slightly.

“She’s smart and, although her personality is cold, she’s gentle, polite, and very humble when she sees elders, so all the elders like her.”

Song Wanying frowned.

“She’s so much better than her twin brother.”

“That Lu Shenghui has been a troublemaker since he was a child.”

Song Wanying sized up Qiao Yu and narrowed her eyes.

“You’re a small fry compared to him. You don’t even come close.”

Qiao Yu shuddered.

Why is she suddenly talking about me?

She held her breath, not daring to speak, and tried to look as innocent as she could.

Luckily, Song Wanying was considerate that she was a newly differentiated child and didn’t press her.

“Since middle school, that Lu Shenghui has been changing girlfriends like he changes clothes. I don’t know how many girls across the country have fallen victim to his evil hands.”

She paused.

“But what goes around comes around.”

Song Wanying chuckled softly.

“He plays with girls, so of course, a girl will come and play with him.”

Qiao Yu knew the answer to this one!

She quickly raised her hand to reply.

“It’s Jiang Mei’s mother!”

At the time, Song Wanying had suddenly heard that Lu Shenghui had turned over a new leaf and was coming home on time every day like a good family man, but she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.

She had become famous as soon as she debuted and was constantly running between events.

When she was busy, she would fly to three cities a day.

She had no time to gossip about a playboy’s romantic scandals.

But, even when she was that busy, she knew, “He was truly in love with that woman.”

She heard that Lu Shenghui even proposed to her in public, but he was harshly rejected.

It caused such a stir that it even made headlines and rivaled her own popularity.

Song Wanying rested her chin on her hand.

One second, she was talking about Lu Shenghui’s romantic affairs, and the next, she turned her attention to Qiao Yu.

“I hear you’ve been adding a lot of alphas on WeChat recently?”

Her long figure approached, carrying a strong scent of pheromones.

“What? Did you forget how you hit on me?”

She narrowed her eyes unhappily.

Song Wanying slowly looked at the young girl, whose ears were slightly red.

Her red lips curled into a noble and cold smile.

“Do you need me to remind you?”

Qiao Yu’s skin was fair, and the slightest abnormality was clearly visible.

The two spots of red on her cheeks were so pitiful and charming, they were alluring without any extra flirtation.

Qiao Yu was startled and quickly shook her head, immediately denying everything.

“It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it! It has nothing to do with me!”

“My second aunt forced me to!”

“She forced you, and you couldn’t refuse?”

Song Wanying was not so easily fooled.

When Qiao Yu was younger, she let her get away with whatever she wanted.

But now that she was an adult, there was no reason to let her off easy.

“I refused.”

She spoke without any hesitation.

The lie came right out of her mouth.

Qiao Yu’s eyes were firm, and her expression was incredibly sincere.

“But she forced me.”

She pretended to wipe away non-existent tears from her eyes and looked down pitifully.

“She’s an elder, and I’m a junior. If I kept refusing her, who knows what she’d say about me to the other relatives?”

She shamelessly shifted the blame to Second Aunt Qiao.

Qiao Yu said with tears in her voice, “She loves to gossip. If she keeps slandering me, slandering me, and tarnishing my reputation, how am I supposed to get married?!”

She acted for a long time with exaggerated gestures, but Song Wanying didn’t even raise an eyebrow.

Qiao Yu looked at her with her black eyes, confused.

Song Wanying pursed her lips and spoke slowly, “Your Sister Lu told me that out of ten things you say, eleven are lies.”

Qiao Yu: “…”

It was all for nothing.

When one plan didn’t work, Qiao Yu came up with another.

“Even though I accepted the friend requests from the alphas my second aunt recommended, I successfully scared them off with my unique personality. You can see for yourself.”

She handed her phone over ingratiatingly.

Song Wanying looked at her without a word.

Qiao Yu quickly put the phone in her hand.

“Really, take a look.”

Song Wanying looked down, and her eyes immediately landed on a group chat that the little one had pinned to the top.

She raised an eyebrow.

Capital City Omega Single Women’s Group?

She knew without a doubt that Qiao Yu had created this before she differentiated.

She didn’t spare the group chat another glance.

Song Wanying randomly clicked on a few conversations.

After a quick scan, her biggest feeling was…

Why does this kid talk so much?

How can she talk so much while chatting with so many people at once?

No wonder they all stopped talking to her in the end.

She was even more annoying and noisy than the cicadas on the trees in the summer.

She handed the phone back to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu took it back, confused.

“Sister Song, aren’t you going to look at a few more?”

“No.”

Song Wanying’s voice was flat.

“It’s hurting my eyes.”

“…”

It was getting late.

Song Wanying told her to go home and rest.

Qiao Yu had already changed her shoes and was about to leave when Song Wanying called out to her.

She leaned against the door, her arms crossed, and said slowly, “Add me to your Capital City Omega Single Women’s Group.”

Qiao Yu subconsciously let out an “ah.”

“But Sister Song, you’re not an omega…”

Her response was Song Wanying’s approach, which carried a suppressive aura.

“If you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, who in the group would know?”

Qiao Yu was speechless, and she could only give in to Song Wanying’s beauty and add her to the group.

It was like dropping a small pebble into a calm lake.

Immediately, a friend popped up and asked, “Which family’s daughter is this?”

Enduring Song Wanying’s threatening gaze, Qiao Yu had the guts to reply, “She’s a distant cousin of mine. She just differentiated yesterday.”

Song Wanying was satisfied.

She reached out and ruffled her hair.

“Okay, go home and rest.”

Qiao Yu held her head in disbelief, not wanting to face reality.

It’s one thing for Lu Shangyi to be in the group since she’s an omega, but Song Wanying is a real alpha!

An alpha who makes countless omegas blush and their legs go weak, with tens of millions of fans!

Thinking about having two pairs of eyes watching her in the group chat at the same time, Qiao Yu shivered violently.

Song Wanying couldn’t see the previous group chat messages, but she didn’t mind.

After watching Qiao Yu go home, Song Wanying turned around and walked to the wine cabinet, slowly opening a new bottle of red wine.

The crystal glass was only half full.

The woman raised her elegant, slender neck like a swan and drank.

Her jawline was delicate and alluring.

Although her debut in the entertainment industry was not her intention, after all these years of hard work, her status in the industry was unshakable.

It was lonely at the top.

A sense of boredom grew in her heart.

She didn’t want to stay anymore.

All the scheming and fighting are not as good as a beautiful woman’s delicate waist, a charming smile, and a warm bedroom.

Qiao Yu was still worried about Lu Shangyi.

After hesitating for a long time, she called her on a video call.

She didn’t expect her to answer, but after only three seconds, the woman’s clean and beautiful face appeared on the screen.

Qiao Yu didn’t know where Lu Shangyi was holding her phone, but her face was very close, as if she was right in front of her.

The close distance made Qiao Yu instinctively lean back, creating some space between them.

Lu Shangyi spoke first.

“Not asleep yet?”

The woman’s voice was low and pleasant, with a strange, hypnotic quality.

Qiao Yu subconsciously shook her head.

“Not yet. I just got back from Sister Song’s place.”

“Song Wanying?”

Lu Shangyi’s calm face was unreadable.

“What did you do at her place?”

“Waited for you.”

After answering without any hesitation, Qiao Yu carefully examined the woman on the screen.

Although the phone’s system automatically compressed some of the clarity, even so, she could feel the cold, aloof, and unapproachable aura coming from her.

She had gotten used to seeing her in person, but now that she was on a screen, Qiao Yu suddenly realized that Lu Shangyi had a dominant presence that surpassed most alphas.

It made Qiao Yu feel an itch in her heart and a mischievous desire to destroy the other woman’s divine appearance.

She unconsciously swallowed.

Qiao Yu spoke softly, “Sister Lu, why haven’t you been home for the past few days?”

Home?

Lu Shangyi’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

A soft spot in her heart was gently touched.

“I’ll come over after I’m done with the things I’m working on.”

She patiently explained, “Your friend just came back, so there are still some family matters I need to take care of.”

Qiao Yu secretly thought,

It’s probably not as simple as just family matters, is it?

Wealthy families value profit the most, especially since Lu Shenghui was already wary of her.

Now that he had recognized his daughter, who knows?

The next time, Lu Shenghui might try to kill Lu Shangyi.

Last time, Lu Shangyi was lucky enough to survive, but would she be so lucky a second or third time?

The young girl’s mood was clearly a bit down.

Lu Shangyi softened her voice and said quietly, “Your mother extended an olive branch to me yesterday.”

Noticing the little one’s eyes instantly perk up, Lu Shangyi’s lips curled into a smile.

“Your mother is a remarkable person. She’s easygoing and a very good elder.”

Qiao Yu’s eyes widened with joy.

My mom is so fake.

She said she wouldn’t help, but now she’s secretly being a good person behind my back.

So bad.

Suppressing her emotions, Qiao Yu also smiled.

“Sister Lu, your company should sign more artists.”

Casting a wide net will always catch some big fish.

A beta artist like Chu Mi wasn’t enough.

Of course, Qiao Yu was very good at surviving.

She quickly explained, “I’m not saying I don’t like your company’s current business model.

I…”

“I know.”

The woman gently interrupted her and actively asked for her opinion.

“Then do you have any good recommendations?”

Qiao Yu was stunned.

A subtle feeling slowly rose in her heart.

This was the first time someone trusted her so completely without any hesitation or doubt.

In her previous life, when she was the CEO, the loyal assistant her father had assigned to her would constantly tell her that she was doing things wrong.

Although she had indeed almost bankrupted a thriving company, it was ultimately because of a traitor in the CEO’s office.

It had nothing to do with her own intelligence.

Qiao Yu was so touched that her eyes brightened.

“Sister Lu, wait for me. I’ll make you a list right now.”

Luckily, the system had forced her to read the original story.

Although she didn’t remember most of the minor characters, the ones who went against Song Wanying were especially memorable.

It was hard not to notice them.

She not only knew the names of the minor characters who would become popular, she also knew all the scripts that would become hits in this world.

She would write them all down and give them to Lu Shangyi!

Then they would invest and make a fortune!

Qiao Yu thought proudly.

Let’s see who dares to say I’m not a business person now.

If her father in the other world knew about this, he would probably be so excited that he would kowtow to his ancestors ten times.

Qiao Yu was about to go find a notebook and a pen.

Lu Shangyi stopped her.

Her deep eyes stared directly at the camera, as if she was staring right at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu subconsciously held her breath.

“What is it, Sister?”

After gently shaking her head, the woman told her to get some rest and ended the video call.

Qiao Yu held her phone, and her mind involuntarily replayed the woman’s mysterious eyes.

They seemed to be filled with the strong, seductive pheromones of an alpha, making people feel dizzy and charmed.

She gently shook her head.

Qiao Yu felt a slight swelling in the glands on the back of her neck.

She didn’t pay much attention to the abnormality in her body.

Qiao Yu stayed up all night to finish the list and then slept for a full day, only waking up in the evening.

Her family had only given her half a week off.

Seeing that she had to go back to school tomorrow, Mrs. Qiao came over to remind her to bring her suppressant patches with her.

Qiao Yu knew her mother was worried, so she put a whole box in her backpack.

“Mom, is this enough?”

Her mother’s response was a look of slight exasperation.

“It’s enough.”

“Don’t act like you used to at school, okay?”

Mrs. Qiao knew her daughter’s personality.

Although she knew she wouldn’t take her words to heart, she still instructed her, “Also, try to avoid contact with unfamiliar alphas as much as possible.”

“But if you see a few that you like, just go ahead and bite them. The family will clean up your mess.”

“…”

My mom is a real gangster.

The news of Qiao Yu’s differentiation had caused a huge stir.

Learning that she was returning to school today, a group of students crowded the school entrance.

However, Mrs. Qiao had already thought of this, so the car carrying Qiao Yu drove directly into the school.

It only stopped in the parking lot to let her out.

Ignoring the glances from near and far, Qiao Yu walked into the classroom with her backpack slung lazily over her shoulder.

The moment she showed up, her classmates started congratulating her.

“Congratulations, Qiao Yu, for getting the weakness buff!”

“I’m sorry, friend. I was blind before and actually treated you like one of the guys.”

These people were just rubbing it in.

Qiao Yu’s temple throbbed.

She rolled her eyes.

“Get lost! Stop gloating.”

She turned and walked toward Meng E, who had also just arrived.

But as she approached her seat, she unconsciously stopped.

Jiang Mei’s seat was empty.

The desk was empty, without the usual mountain of books.

Meng E explained softly, “I heard from Tang Shu that she transferred to Jinggao High School.”

“Jinggao is a key high school. The teachers are much better than at our school, and last year’s top students in both humanities and science came from Jinggao. Her grades were already good. If she works hard now, she might even be able to become a top student.”

Qiao Yu hung her backpack on the chair, took out her textbook, and didn’t say anything.

Meng E blinked and tried to change the subject.

“But our school is pretty good now. Ever since you differentiated, our school has soared and become just as popular as Jinggao.”

“Yu Yu, you don’t know this, do you? You single-handedly raised our school’s status. Even the students at Jinggao are envious of us now.”

“I also heard them say that a lot of ninth-grade students want to enroll in our school so they can become your juniors.”

Qiao Yu listened expressionlessly and said,

“Wow. And what else did they say?”

Sensing the danger from Qiao Yu, Meng E shook her head and wisely covered her mouth.

“Nothing else.”

Qiao Yu scoffed.

Good news never leaves the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

If she had known that this body would deviate from the original plot because of her genes, she wouldn’t have gone around bragging about being the top alpha in the capital.

She unconsciously looked back at the empty seat behind her.

The first time she met the female lead seemed like it was just yesterday.

Today, Lu Shenghui personally brought Jiang Mei to Jinggao to report.

The Lu family was powerful and influential in the capital, so even the principal came out to greet them.

Jiang Mei walked with no emotion on her face, her heart as still as water.

She wasn’t pampered like other children who grew up in wealthy families, so she was often talked about behind her back.

She followed Lu Shenghui with a humble but not servile attitude, ignoring all the malicious stares.

Jiang Mei was calm and composed, and her every move was graceful.

Lu Shenghui glanced at her twice and finally found her more pleasing to the eye.

After giving instructions to the principal, Lu Shenghui turned around.

“Study hard and don’t disgrace the family.”

Jiang Mei replied softly, “Yes.”

Lu Shenghui also handed her a bank card.

“Go out and play with your classmates more and build good relationships, especially with those from good families.”

Lu Shenghui said, “It will be good for both of us.”

Jiang Mei still lowered her head and said, “Yes,” without any other words.

Lu Shenghui also felt that he had nothing to say to her, so he gave her two more glances and left.

On the way to the classroom with the principal, Jiang Mei had already heard more than ten speculations about her background and slander against her mother.

Her light-colored lips were pressed into a tight, straight line.

Jiang Mei suppressed the anger in her heart but still couldn’t stop herself from releasing her pheromones.

The strong, dominant pheromones quickly filled the hallway.

The surrounding area finally fell silent.

Seeing the fearful and somewhat respectful looks in others’ eyes from the corner of her eye, Jiang Mei’s lips curled into a subtle smile.

But…

She wouldn’t be able to see Yu Yu again for a while and protect her from behind.

However, Lu Shangyi and Ye Yunjian were both well-informed.

With them there, Yu Yu should be fine.

She steadied herself and slowly walked into the new classroom, her back straight.

After an omega differentiates, their physical strength is much weaker than before.

Qiao Yu felt this deeply.

She looked at Meng E in confusion.

“E-E, how did you get through such a difficult time?”

Meng E answered quickly and concisely, “You just get used to it.”

Seeing Qiao Yu’s unhappy puffy cheeks, Meng E explained, “That’s why we omegas need the careful protection of alphas or betas. We’re not called Specially Protected Rare Animals for nothing.”

Qiao Yu raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose.

No wonder.

If we’re this fragile, it’s a miracle we can survive on our own.

When the afternoon dismissal bell rang, Qiao Yu put on her backpack and was about to go home, but she was stopped by a group of classmates.

“Yu Yu, your differentiation into an omega is such great news. We have to go to our bar, ‘Heavenly Realm’, to celebrate, right?”

Worried that she wouldn’t agree, the boy who spoke added, “And our class hasn’t had a get-together in a long time.

If we don’t catch up soon, we’ll all become strangers.”

“Get-together?”

Qiao Yu sneered.

“I think you just want to go to my bar to lure young girls.”

“How could you say that?

We’re all law-abiding alphas.

Our hearts are only for studying and IELTS now.

We don’t have time to think about anything else.”

“…”

I don’t believe you.

She couldn’t resist their begging, so Qiao Yu agreed.

But when they got to the bar, the students had barely sat down when they saw the very reluctant girl sneakily walking toward the bar counter.

Under the not-so-bright lights, two women stood there who looked incredibly alpha just from their backs.

Whether it was their figures or their auras, they were one in a million.

But Meng E still felt that the two women’s backs looked a little familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

Qiao Yu had no idea she would have an encounter on her own turf today.

She self-consciously cleared her throat and used her slender figure to squeeze between the two women.

“Are you two ladies here to find some fun today?”

Meng E stared at the two women as they turned their heads and immediately recognized who they were.

Qiao Yu’s face was all smiles as she looked up.

The moment she saw Ye Yunjian’s face, she heard her heartbeat speed up as if it was about to burst out of her chest.

“Auntie Ye, what are you doing here?!”

She instinctively turned her head and saw Bai Yiyu, who was gently raising an eyebrow at her.

Qiao Yu’s brain instantly crashed.

“Auntie Bai, you’re here too?!”
