These past few days, Qiao Yu has been thinking about Lu Shangyi's good looks day and night, almost losing her appetite. Unfortunately, she hasn't had a chance to see him and hasn't been able to find out anything about him, so she can only give up in disappointment.
Today, she suddenly had a stroke of good luck, receiving special favor from God and meeting the dream lover she had been longing for. She couldn't contain her excitement.
Lu Shangyi, however, seemed uninterested in her. She glanced at her once and then turned away, her departure even carrying a sense of avoidance. Those around her looked at Qiao Yu with surprise; some recognized her and couldn't help but wonder, how had Lu Shangyi gotten involved with this audacious young lady?
Seeing that Lu Shangyi was about to walk away, Qiao Yu quickly abandoned Song Wanzi and the other two and rushed out, "Sister Lu, wait for me!"
She rushed in front of Lu Shangyi and blocked her way. She blinked innocently, biting her lip with a wronged and hurt expression. "Sister Lu, do you dislike me that much? You run away as soon as you see me, but I haven't even differentiated into the number one Alpha in the capital yet."
The most formidable Alpha in the capital? Lu Shangyi couldn't help but scrutinize her. Who gave you that title?
Are you yourself?
"I have something urgent to attend to," Lu Shangyi said tactfully, not wanting to hurt the self-esteem of a minor. But the other person seemed deaf, completely ignoring her words, and muttered to herself as she pulled out her phone, "Sister, let's exchange contact information."
Lu Shangyi watched her remain motionless. Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow and grinned, "Sister, if you don't give me your phone number, I'm not leaving today."
Lu Shangyi's calm expression twisted slightly. She was indeed in a hurry, so she couldn't resist Qiao Yu's shamelessness and handed her her business card. Qiao Yu looked at the elegant business card, but then grabbed Lu Shangyi who was passing by her. "A business card won't do."
With a sincere expression, she said, "I need your private phone number, sister."
Those watching helplessly as Qiao Yu took advantage of Lu Shangyi's misfortune held their breath, not daring to utter a single word, for fear of provoking this shameless little rascal as well.
Lu Shangyi was rendered speechless by her words. "I don't have any paper or pen here."
Qiao Yu immediately bent down and rummaged through her bag, pulling out two items. She quickly wrote down her phone number, left a bright red lipstick mark, and then handed them to Lu Shangyi. "If I don't receive a call from my sister tonight..."
Lu Shangyi had a feeling that what she was about to say wasn't anything nice, so she calmly put the piece of paper away and said, "I understand."
Qiao Yu then left, satisfied.
After the people left, the people around Lu Shangyi started chattering like a tap that had been turned on: "Mrs. Qiao and Boss Qiao are both reserved and modest people. I don't know how they could have given birth to such a shameless daughter."
Lu Shangyi deeply agreed.
“However,” the man’s tone changed, “I think Miss Qiao is serious about you, Mr. Lu.”
"Although I have no evidence, I can sense it."
Lu Shangyi: "..."
When Qiao Yu returned, Meng E breathed a sigh of relief. She had really struggled to be alone with several alphas; her legs had almost given way when Qiao Yu left. Instinctively, she leaned closer to Qiao Yu, but then noticed that Song Wanzi and Jiang Mei were giving her rather unfriendly looks.
Meng E instinctively distanced herself. She could understand Jiang Mei, but what about Song Wanzi?
Qiao Yu noticed that the atmosphere between Song Wanzi and Jiang Mei was strange. She frowned in confusion and saw that Jiang Mei was motionless like a block of wood, not understanding any charm. So she spoke up to explain for Jiang Mei: "My friend is quiet and shy, so she doesn't talk much."
Song Wanzi nodded meaningfully, her gaze making Qiao Yu feel uneasy. "Is that so?"
"Absolutely." Qiao Yu quickly admitted, "She's just too nervous to speak right now because she's seen you. She'll be fine after a while."
Jiang Mei sensed something was off about Qiao Yu's words, but couldn't quite put her finger on it, so her face grew even more stern. Song Wanzi couldn't help but chuckle softly, "That's a pity, I'm about to go on stage."
Song Wanzi took off her coat and stood up. After taking a couple of steps, the sound of her high heels stopped abruptly. Song Wanzi turned around, a charming smile on her face, "By the way, cutie, let's exchange contact information."
Jiang Mei's gaze immediately sharpened, but Song Wanzi's attention was entirely on Qiao Yu, and she remained indifferent even when she noticed Jiang Mei's wariness. Having successfully obtained Song Wanzi's phone number, Qiao Yu happily held the phone up to Jiang Mei's face, "Here, do you want to write this down?"
Jiang Mei remained unmoved. "No need."
Qiao Yu scratched her head, "You don't even want a phone number?"
Was she deliberately being coy in front of her boyfriend? Qiao Yu suddenly realized, feeling she had discovered the key point. Jiang Mei wanted to maintain her mature and composed image in front of Song Wanzi, so Qiao Yu didn't want to force her to write down the number. Instead, she looked up at Song Wanzi and smiled sweetly, "Wishing Sister Song's new movie a huge box office success!"
Song Wanzi chuckled softly, "Thank you, I'll treat you to a meal then."
After a slow pause of one second, Song Wanzi's gaze inadvertently swept over Jiang Mei, who exuded a cold aura, and said, "Your friends should come too."
Meng E was so excited that she couldn't contain herself. Qiao Yu quickly pinched her, and Meng E let out a scream and quickly pushed her hand away. She sat on the sofa, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Jiang Mei stared at Song Wanzi's retreating figure with an inscrutable gaze. Only after Song Wanzi had walked far away did Jiang Mei realize that Qiao Yu had been watching her intently for a long time. The other woman's gaze held an unspoken ambiguity, and Jiang Mei's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously explained, "It's not what you think."
How could Qiao Yu listen to her explanation? She drew out an "Oh" meaningfully and patted her shoulder understandingly, "You don't need to make excuses, I understand."
Qiao Yu was overjoyed. Things were going smoothly just as she had predicted. Jiang Mei had indeed fallen head over heels in love with Song Wanzi the moment she saw her. Now all that was left was for Song Wanzi to reciprocate her feelings, and then the two of them could overcome all the difficulties and be happily together.
And she, this cannon fodder supporting character, can finally enjoy her old age happily in the Heavenly Paradise, indulging in pleasure and revelry.
That's brilliant!
Jiang Mei felt heartbroken, but Qiao Yu didn't seem to want to hear her explanation, which made her feel even more powerless.
Song Wanzi was very busy promoting her new movie today, and Qiao Yu was too embarrassed to bother her any longer, so she planned to treat Meng E and Jiang Mei to a meal, but Jiang Mei declined, saying, "I have a part-time job."
That part-time job was one that Qiao Yu had painstakingly managed to get Jiang Mei, because the pay was very good, and Qiao Yu couldn't bring herself to stop her. As soon as Jiang Mei left, Meng E stammered, "Yu Yu, I also have things to do..."
Qiao Yu already guessed what she was going back to do, and clutched her chest, feeling very hurt. "You heartless woman who forgets her friends for the sake of a pretty face!"
Her powerful shout drew the attention of passersby. Meng E blushed and quickly covered her mouth. "Then... I'll treat you to milk tea after school tomorrow?"
Qiao Yu wasn't about to let her off so easily. After thinking for a moment, she said seriously, "No, unless you kiss me."
Meng E: "..." I've never been so speechless in my life.
She hesitated for a long time, looking Qiao Yu up and down, until Qiao Yu felt a little guilty under her gaze and was almost ready to give up. Finally, Meng E spoke with certainty, "I understand. You are about to differentiate, so your desire in that area is very strong. Right?"
Huh? Qiao Yu's mind went blank for a moment. In what way?
Meng E gave a meaningful laugh, "Yu Yu, I'm not going to kiss you. If you're really unsatisfied, you can take care of it yourself tonight."
"Self-reliance leads to abundance; the working people are the most glorious!"
Qiao Yu: "..."
After making those flirtatious remarks, Meng E ran off. Qiao Yu chased after her for a few steps, but she was exhausted. She stopped, looking suspicious. Qiao Yu frowned. "Why am I tired after just a few steps? Is it really time for us to differentiate?"
But the report says it will be two or three months later.
However, Qiao Yu has always been an optimist. The thought that she would be able to find a partner soon after differentiating into an alpha made her happy again, and she even couldn't wait for the day of differentiation to arrive.
Before leaving, Qiao Yu went to the restroom. There weren't many people there. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the innermost stall. Qiao Yu paused, initially not wanting to pay attention, but then she thought, what if someone is feeling unwell?
If this living Lei Feng hadn't done her part, wouldn't an innocent life have been lost forever?
Qiao Yu twisted her ankle and walked into the inner room, gently knocking on the door. "Is anyone home? Are you alright?"
The slight noise that had just started stopped abruptly. Qiao Yu's eyes brightened slightly; there really was someone there. She couldn't help but politely inquire, "Do you need any help? Don't worry, I'm definitely a good person and would never take advantage of you to do anything bad."
Fearing the other party wouldn't believe her, Qiao Yu added, "I guarantee it with my father's happiness for the rest of his life."
"My father is Qiao Jinghuai of the Qiao family. If you don't believe me, you can search for him online right now."
Lu Shangyi felt ice-cold all over. The excruciating pain that surged through her body the moment the drug was injected almost made her bite her lip until it bled. She shouldn't have been injected with the new drug today, but the unexpected incident had left her with no choice. Fortunately, she always carried a spare dose with her; otherwise, all her previous pretense and efforts would have been in vain.
She had just received the injection and couldn't move for a while, but Lu Shenghui was waiting outside. If she didn't show herself for a long time, he would definitely notice something.
Lu Shangyi struggled to get up, but her body was too weak, and she could only slump back down. Suddenly, a sound came from outside the door. Lu Shangyi raised her eyes sharply, her gaze almost piercing through the door.
Qiao Yu grew anxious as she waited for a response from inside. "If you can hear me, then move aside a bit, I'm going to break down the door!"
Lu Shangyi's brows furrowed immediately, and she used all her strength to open the door latch. "No need."
She tried to stay awake, attempting to brush past Qiao Yu, quickly tidy herself up, and then go out to meet Lu Shenghui. However, she had only taken one step when a young girl grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. The sound of the door latch closing rang out again, and Lu Shangyi lowered her head, her brows furrowed, and shook off Qiao Yu's hand.
Seeing her so weak yet still so defiant, Qiao Yu couldn't help but push her away. Lu Shangyi's gaze was dark, but just as she opened her mouth, Qiao Yu swiftly reached out and pressed her hand to her bright red lips, "Shh, shh—"
"Sister, everyone has gone to see Song Wanzi. Not many people will come here. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."
The eavesdropping system was utterly shocked: "??? Are you a thug or a rogue?"
Who was it that just now swore they were a good person who would never take advantage of someone's misfortune?
