After Ditching Four Powerful Alphas, I Differentiated into an Omega - Chapter 41
“Which scoundrel said that?” Qiao Yu puffed her cheeks and glared at Meng E.
“Tell me the name, and I will definitely use the law as a weapon to protect myself.”
She paused.
“And my innocent reputation.”
Meng E didn’t even know where to begin.
“Yu Yu, have you not heard anything? Everyone’s been saying it now, that you’re like the Tang Sanzang meat that can eat people.”
“…” Qiao Yu was heartbroken.
She dramatically collapsed onto Meng E, wiping away non-existent tears from her face, looking utterly dejected.
“How could they talk about me like that? I’m just a weak girl with no strength to kill a chicken.”
“I don’t even have the heart to step on a tiny ant. How could I possibly eat people?”
Qiao Yu blinked her innocent eyes, then suddenly turned her head.
Her eyes dangerously narrowed, and her tone turned sour.
“Was it Tang Shu who spread this?!”
“It wasn’t her.” Meng E instinctively denied it, but after the words left her mouth, she saw the “I knew it” look on Qiao Yu’s face.
Her ears quietly turned red.
Meng E turned her face away, not wanting to see the ambiguous expression in the other’s eyes.
Her heart pounded violently several times.
Meng E pleaded, “Yu Yu, please stop teasing me.”
Meng E’s lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and her cheeks were burning.
Even in the dim light, her red skin was clearly visible.
Qiao Yu’s heart ached at the sight.
What a good girl.
Unfortunately, she was blind and had fallen for that useless Tang Shu.
She didn’t bring up Tang Shu again.
Qiao Yu ordered a drink for her.
“How’s your father’s health lately?”
Sensing Meng E’s mood instantly drop, Qiao Yu realized she had asked something she shouldn’t have.
Meng E forced a smile and nodded as if nothing was wrong.
“He’s good.
The doctor said his condition has improved, and he has more energy than before.”
Qiao Yu wisely changed the subject.
She looked at the group of people drinking and found them boring.
Ye Yunjian and Bai Yiyu were not far away, and their eyes would occasionally glance over.
Qiao Yu didn’t dare to cause any trouble or do anything inappropriate for her age.
One of the classmates got drunk and started to lose his mind.
“Qiao Yu, we’ve been classmates for so long.
Now that you’ve differentiated, shouldn’t you let us have some fun?”
The surroundings instantly fell silent.
Someone realized something was wrong and quickly pulled the drunk man back, trying to cover his mouth.
But the alpha was very strong.
In the blink of an eye, he broke free from the two people’s grip and took a big step toward Qiao Yu.
“Don’t you go through several alphas a day? What, are you not saying anything because you look down on me, the son of a supermarket owner?”
Meng E looked at Qiao Yu anxiously.
Qiao Yu nonchalantly raised her eyelids.
“I’m glad you know that.”
The other person was furious.
Like a proud rooster, he was about to pounce, but luckily, the boys around him quickly held him down and pushed him to the side.
“Wang Lei, have you had enough?!”
Is Qiao Yu some random omega outside that you can bully and insult?
Don’t even talk about a mere supermarket owner.
Even if you were a big boss with a high market value, if you angered the wrong person, the Qiao family could still make you go bankrupt overnight!
Everyone immediately sobered up and quickly turned to apologize to Qiao Yu.
“We’re sorry, Yu Yu. I shouldn’t have let him come today.”
Wang Lei had some past beef with Qiao Yu.
When Qiao Yu first transferred to the school, a girl Wang Lei had been preparing to get with for a long time fell in love with Qiao Yu at first sight.
Later, when Wang Lei tried to force himself on her, Qiao Yu suddenly appeared and ruined his plan.
Wang Lei had always held a grudge against her.
He was usually afraid of the Qiao family’s power and didn’t dare to show it, but he got drunk today and revealed his true colors.
That was a long time ago.
Not to mention them, even Qiao Yu herself had forgotten about it.
Looking at the resentful alpha, Qiao Yu suddenly remembered something.
Whether it was the original owner or me, who took her place, we seem to have offended a lot of people over the years…
She was counting, but from the corner of her eye, she saw her classmates suddenly scatter like frightened birds.
Then, two tall and slender figures came into view.
Seeing Ye Yunjian and Bai Yiyu, everyone instinctively held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
These two women, even if their grandfathers were here, would have to be respectful and wouldn’t dare to talk back.
Whether it was their status, their position, or the unfathomable and shocking aura around them, no one could even think of resisting.
These two, who had been in high positions for years, could make them weak in the knees with just a light glance.
Ye Yunjian looked at the alpha, who had hate in his eyes, with an expressionless face.
Her red lips gently curled into an understated arc.
“Throw him out.”
She didn’t specifically command anyone, but the boys who heard her voice immediately moved.
A few of them grabbed his arms, and others his legs, and lifted Wang Lei like a heavy object.
They mercilessly threw him onto the ground at the bar’s entrance.
They were not like Wang Lei, the son of a nouveau riche.
They had always looked down on his bad character.
After this incident, the boys stared at him viciously.
“Wang Lei, if you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!”
Is Qiao Yu an omega that can be casually bullied and humiliated?
Don’t even talk about a supermarket owner.
Even if you were a big boss with a high market value, if you angered the wrong person, the Qiao family could still make you go bankrupt overnight!
Everyone sobered up immediately and quickly turned to apologize to Qiao Yu.
“We’re sorry, Yu Yu. I shouldn’t have let him come today.”
Qiao Yu had had scandals with Song Wanying and Lu Shangyi!
Whether it was the Song family or the Lu family, they could wipe out families like theirs multiple times with a wave of their hands!
And now, it seemed like Qiao Yu had a good relationship with not only the Song family and the Lu family but also the Ye family and the Bai family!
How many families in the capital depend on these families to survive?
A small project that these families casually leaked, which they considered insignificant, would be enough to get a useless family into the upper-middle class of the pyramid.
They clapped their hands and cursed nervously.
“Don’t let me see you again.”
Qiao Yu didn’t notice when they got up and came over.
She blinked blankly.
“Auntie Bai, Auntie Ye, why did you come over?”
It was better when she didn’t talk.
The moment she spoke, Ye Yunjian’s cold and emotionless gaze fell on her.
Her expressionless face slightly sank as if she was displeased.
She stared at her with her deep eyes.
“Go home.”
Ye Yunjian wanted to scold her, but she considered that her classmates were there and was worried about her losing face in front of them, so she could only suppress the displeasure in her heart.
She bent down and took Qiao Yu’s things.
Ye Yunjian’s tone was undeniable.
“If you ever dare to come to a place like this again…”
Her cold figure came closer with an aggressive aura.
She heavily emphasized her words.
“…I’ll break your legs.”
Qiao Yu shivered on the spot and quickly dodged behind Bai Yiyu.
Ye Yunjian’s expression was a fake smile.
Her eyes stared intently at her.
“It’s no use even if you hide behind the greatest person in the world.”
Bai Yiyu turned around, looked at the young girl whose eyelashes were trembling nervously, and chuckled.
“I can testify that she’s a ruthless person. Forget about a beautiful girl like you. Even if her own father came, she wouldn’t even blink while killing him.”
Qiao Yu: “…”
But Ye Yunjian didn’t even refute it, which was a rare thing for her.
She just gave Bai Yiyu a dark glance.
Ye Yunjian grabbed Qiao Yu, who was still frozen in place, and pulled her outside.
Before leaving, she gave a faint glance behind her.
Everyone immediately straightened their backs and looked very well-behaved.
Her eyes swept over the group of faces.
When she got to Meng E’s face, Ye Yunjian’s lips curled.
“You, go home too.”
Meng E didn’t dare to object.
She obediently held her backpack and followed Ye Yunjian from a distance.
Qiao Yu stared at Meng E and couldn’t help but stop and walk back two steps.
Then, she pulled her to her side.
“E-E, stay close to me.
I’m worried about you otherwise.”
Their eyes met.
Meng E really didn’t want to deal with this woman who had dragged her into this mess.
With Meng E by her side, Qiao Yu felt much more secure.
As they left the bar, Ye Yunjian called a car for Qiao Yu and Meng E separately.
After sending Meng E off, Ye Yunjian leaned against the car door.
“If I find out you’re still out later…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Qiao Yu knew it wouldn’t be anything good.
Qiao Yu nodded so fast her head looked like a pecking chick.
She blinked and looked up at the cold-faced woman.
“Aren’t you coming back with me?”
“No.” Ye Yunjian took a step back and closed the car door.
The emotion in her eyes was faint.
“I have something to do.”
After watching the taxi leave, Bai Yiyu walked over to Ye Yunjian.
Her eyes were filled with a playful look.
Ye Yunjian turned around.
Her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed when their eyes met.
Bai Yiyu’s lips curled into a faint smile.
“You care about her a lot.”
Her tone was certain, giving Ye Yunjian no room to object.
Ye Yunjian didn’t admit it, but she didn’t deny it either.
She stared at Bai Yiyu without saying a word until she finally said,
“Stop pretending you don’t know what’s going on.”
Bai Yiyu chuckled softly and followed her.
“You’re still as unlikeable as ever.”
When Qiao Yu got home, she noticed that there was a car in Song Wanying’s yard.
Her eyes moved to the side, and the entire house was lit up.
It seemed like there was a guest.
Qiao Yu pulled her gaze back.
She found it strange.
Song Wanying had been living here for so many days, and she had never seen her socialize with anyone other than her manager and assistant.
Song Wanying leaned lazily on the sofa.
“What is it?”
The other person was silent for a while.
Under the woman’s invisible pressure, they bit the bullet and spoke.
“Madam asked you to make time on Saturday to meet with Lu Shenghui’s daughter.”
The woman said nothing.
The person speaking nervously pursed their lips, feeling uncomfortable all over.
After a long while, the woman finally lifted her eyelids lazily.
“Then go back and tell Madam.”
Song Wanying chuckled and said slowly, “There’s no need.”
“I’ve already met her.”
The person looked up in surprise and hesitated before saying,
“But this time is different from before. Madam and Young Master Lu will be there, as well as Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu…”
Song Wanying looked at her quietly.
The person immediately stopped talking, nodded, and backed away.
“I’ll go back and inform Madam.”
After the person left, Song Wanying picked up the half-finished drink on the table.
A blind date?
She couldn’t help but chuckle.
It’s been so many years.
Don’t they know what I’m like by now?
If she was willing to give in, she would have followed her family’s arrangements a long time ago.
Why would she be running around all day filming and not being home all year?
She slowly filled the glass with wine.
Song Wanying said softly,
“How naive.”
The person hadn’t been gone for long when Mrs. Song called.
The graceful lady, who was usually well-mannered in front of others, was now gritting her teeth and had none of her usual gentle and virtuous demeanor.
“Song Wanying, how long are you going to be angry with us?!”
“You’re already so old. How can you still be so willful and not care about other people’s feelings?”
She didn’t have much patience.
She hung up the phone after saying,
“You’re going on Saturday whether you want to or not,” not giving Song Wanying any chance to refuse.
Song Wanying held her phone, her expression unreadable.
The warmth on her face gradually turned cold.
Qiao Yu noticed that the car in Song Wanying’s yard left quickly.
She stood at the window and poked her head out to look twice.
Qiao Yu pulled her gaze back without much thought and sent a message to Lu Shangyi.
“Sister Lu, are you still busy?”
The phone screen lit up.
Lu Shangyi looked at it and then back.
She said faintly,
“I always have time.”
Father Lu nodded in satisfaction.
“Okay, it’s settled then.”
The tall man put down his chopsticks.
“How did my daughter feel at school today?”
Everyone at the table looked at Jiang Mei.
Her eyelashes lowered, and she said calmly,
“It was okay.”
She unconsciously glanced at Lu Shang
yi, who looked out of place at the dinner table.
Jiang Mei couldn’t describe what she was feeling at the moment.
She had never thought that the person who gave her five million with a wave of her hand would be Lu Shangyi.
She hadn’t expected the other person to be her biological aunt.
She hadn’t even expected that the other person’s crush was also her crush.
The taste in her mouth became a little bitter.
In the past, she was so humble in front of Lu Shangyi that she couldn’t even raise her head.
But now that she was back in a wealthy family, she was still like a dirty little duckling in front of her.
Some people were impossible to surpass, even if she spent her whole life trying.
Lu Shangyi was one of those people.
She tried to suppress her thoughts.
Jiang Mei continued,
“My classmates are very good to me and take good care of me.”
Although it was mostly because of the Lu family’s reputation.
The man was very satisfied.
“That’s good.”
He said kindly,
“In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, you come back and tell me. I’d like to see who dares to bully my granddaughter, Lu Yi!”
“Alright, go back to your room and do your homework after you finish eating.”
Lu Shenghui interrupted his father.
His eyes, which were looking at Jiang Mei as she stood up, were complex.
But in a moment, the emotions in his eyes faded.
“Jiang Mei has met Song Wanying a few times before. I don’t think there will be any big problems when they meet on Saturday.”
Recently, some of the old foxes in the company have been getting restless.
Lu Shenghui had no choice but to use his daughter to win over a family as soon as possible to stabilize his position.
Looking at the three big families, Ye Yunjian was a ruthless person and would not be easily manipulated.
Qiao Jinghuai and his wife were crazy and were even more difficult to deal with than Ye Yunjian.
So, looking around, only Song Wanying was the most suitable.
Song Wanying was not young anymore.
The Song family had long wanted her to get married and return to the family.
He was extending an olive branch at the perfect time.
The Song family would be getting what they wanted and would have no reason to refuse him.
He gave Lu Shangyi a hostile look.
Lu Shenghui said faintly,
“I have such a big daughter now. I wonder when Shangyi plans to get married.”
His words immediately caught Lu Yi’s attention.
Before, Lu Shenghui was the one being pressured, so Lu Shangyi didn’t have to worry about being urged to get married.
But now that Lu Shenghui had a daughter out of nowhere, marrying her off for a political marriage became a pressing matter.
It was no use even if her mother protected her.
Lu Shangyi raised her eyes and looked at Lu Shenghui.
“What are you suggesting?”
Mrs. Lu knew that her children were in a fierce rivalry.
She quickly came in between them.
“Let’s talk about it after she goes on the blind date with her sister on Saturday.
If she and Wanying don’t get along, then let Shangyi try.
Shangyi and Wanying have known each other for so many years.
If it works out, it would be a good thing.”
Song Wanying?
But Lu Shenghui would never let Lu Shangyi get close to the Song family.
The man’s thin lips curled into a faint smile.
“I heard that Qiao Yu has a very good impression of Shangyi. How about I arrange for you to meet Qiao Yu another day?”
Mrs. Lu frowned.
Qiao Yu was just a weak omega who was always flirting with other people.
How could she protect Shangyi?
She was about to refuse, but Lu Shenghui had already decided on his own.
“Since Shangyi doesn’t have any objections, I’ll go call Qiao Jinghuai.”
The man quickly got up and left.
Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter, her eyes full of guilt.
Lu Shangyi held the teacup next to her, her expression unreadable.
A faint smile was visible on her lips.
After replying to Qiao Yu’s message, Chu Mi happened to send her one.
“I’ve arranged to meet them at the hot springs resort outside the city this weekend. Be careful when you come over.”
Lu Shangyi paused and then decisively replied,
“I can’t this weekend.”
“Why not? Do you have other plans?”
“The little one has a blind date.”
Chu Mi: “?”
What does the little one’s blind date have to do with you?
Soon, there was another message from Lu Shangyi.
“Her blind date is me.”
Chu Mi: “…………”
Is a blind date more important than building a career?
