Did Scumbag A Get Divorced Today? - Chapter 33.4

In fact, she now felt lucky to have chosen that field. Her background gave her an edge when it came to understanding and developing inhibitors—she wasn’t completely lost in this world’s science.

Shen Jueshu blinked in surprise. Neuroscience? She’d never met a researcher who had the time—or the interest—to watch talent shows. Weren’t people like that supposed to be buried in labs 24/7? Even someone like Lily, who loved fun, barely made exceptions.

Seeing her expression, Sui Yu chuckled and sighed. “Scientists are still human, you know. We need to unwind too. We’re not spinning tops.”

Shen Jueshu awkwardly looked away and turned back to the stage.

Just then, the next performer was announced—it was Jiang Siyue.

The moment she heard the name, Sui Yu shot up and waved her support sticks enthusiastically. She turned to Shen Jueshu and gestured for her to join in.

Shen Jueshu: “…”
Absolutely not. That kind of fan behavior didn’t suit her image.

Seeing her remain still, Sui Yu didn’t push. She simply cupped her hands and shouted along with the other fans, cheering at the top of her lungs for her girl.

At first, Shen Jueshu thought it was embarrassing, but when she noticed that everyone around them was doing the same, she settled back into her seat, expression calm as ever. She let the noise wash over her like a storm—unmoving and unbothered.

Jiang Siyue’s performance was a high-energy, rhythm-driven number. Her every move hit perfectly on beat. Just a single look from her could set off cheers from the crowd. With her sharp features and commanding presence, some even whispered that she might be “the most alpha Omega they’d ever seen.”

When Sui Yu overheard that comment, she felt indignant. Her eyes darted to Shen Jueshu beside her. That was the real deal right there. Compared to her, Jiang Siyue was a soft puppy!

Visibly, Siyue had made huge strides since her first audition. Even Shen Jueshu started to take her seriously. To improve this much in such a short time—it showed that Siyue wasn’t just dabbling for fun. She was truly committed.

Someone like that? She was worth investing in.

On the other side of the venue, Li Jiang rested her chin in her hand, quietly watching the radiant figure on stage. In that moment, the confident, dazzling Jiang Siyue seemed to perfectly match the one in her memories.

She had always liked being in the spotlight. And now, standing under the glow of the stage lights, soaking up cheers from all directions—she was probably happier than ever.

Li Yi looked at her cousin’s calm expression and sighed quietly before joining in to cheer for Jiang Siyue.

When Siyue’s performance ended, she received the highest score so far. Judging by the number of contestants left, it was clear—she had secured a spot in the next round.

After Jiang Siyue’s performance ended, Sui Yu originally wanted to take Shen Jueshu backstage with her to see Siyue. But she didn’t expect Shen Jueshu to say she wanted to stay and watch Mo Yu’s performance.

What else could Sui Yu do? Of course, she stayed behind to accompany her. Thankfully, Mo Yu’s turn came not long after. Watching Mo Yu’s striking and intense stage presence, Sui Yu couldn’t help but feel amazed.

Who would’ve thought that this fierce little wolf on stage was the same soft, cuddly puppy who begged for head pats when she was with Li Yi?

Shen Jueshu’s gaze was slightly probing as she watched Mo Yu. Years ago, she had heard that Li Yi had taken in a young girl. The story was that this girl came from a rough background, and it was only thanks to Li Yi that she was able to continue her education and live a stable life.

She hadn’t expected that girl to be Mo Yu—and even more surprising, that the two of them would end up together.

If she remembered correctly, Li Yi was twenty-eight this year. Mo Yu’s file listed her as twenty. An eight-year age gap wasn’t huge, but the fact they had actually gotten together was still unexpected.

That said, Mo Yu’s performance was nearly flawless. Jiang Siyue’s first-place score barely had time to settle before Mo Yu came and threatened to take it. But seeing how well the two girls got along offstage eased Shen Jueshu’s mind.

As the company’s boss, the last thing she wanted was internal tension among her artists.

“Let’s go,” Shen Jueshu said as she stood. She’d seen enough. Between these two performances, she’d already spent most of her day here.

“Alright,” Sui Yu agreed. Jiang Siyue had just messaged her to say they needed to film her post-performance segment and suggested Sui Yu find a café nearby to wait.

As they exited the venue together, Sui Yu tilted her head and smiled. “I didn’t think you’d actually come with me to watch Siyue’s performance.”

Shen Jueshu quickly corrected her, “I wasn’t here with you. I came because the company asked me to check on the event.”

Sui Yu blinked, but didn’t call her out. If Shen Jueshu were truly here for company business, she would’ve stayed to watch the other artists too. But once Mo Yu was done, she’d gotten up to leave.

They found a quiet café and sat down. Sui Yu looked at her and smiled. “Honestly, thinking about it now… coming to this world hasn’t been all bad. At least I met you.”

At first, meeting Shen Jueshu had felt like the worst part of landing in this new world. But the more they talked and got to know each other, the more Sui Yu could see past her cold exterior. And it was that hidden warmth that made this unfamiliar place feel a little less foreign.

Shen Jueshu looked up, meeting her gaze. Her eyes were bright and sincere. “I’m sure you cursed me a lot in your heart.”

Sui Yu: “…Is this really the time to bring up old grudges?”

I just said meeting you was a good thing—and now you’re reminding me of the times I hated you? Does that not feel… off?

She sighed, suddenly feeling curious about how Shen Jueshu’s so-called destined Alpha ever managed to melt this block of ice.

Shen Jueshu just smiled faintly and didn’t reply.

Sui Yu took a sip of her coffee, and her mood gradually became more serious. The bitter taste of the iced Americano made her frown slightly as she spoke quietly, “We can’t keep Gu Ying locked up forever. If he’s really going to grit his teeth and say nothing, we’ll be wasting our time. So, I’m thinking… maybe it’s time we take the initiative.”

The slight curve of Shen Jueshu’s lips faded. “What kind of initiative?”

Sui Yu looked her straight in the eyes. “If you want to break someone down, you have to find their weakness. When I was looking over his file, I noticed he seemed to have feelings for someone.”

It wasn’t confirmed, just a hunch. But if it was true, it might be their way in.

“What do you want to do?” Shen Jueshu asked after a short pause.

Sui Yu smiled slightly, but her eyes had a cold glint. “Put on a show.”

And through this “show,” she could test just how much Gu Ying actually cared about that person.

Shen Jueshu looked at Sui Yu’s calm yet sharp expression. After a moment, she asked, “And how exactly do you plan to do that?”

At that, Sui Yu raised an eyebrow with a playful spark in her eyes. She grinned. “You’ll see. Just leave it to me.”

There were enemies hiding in the dark—she couldn’t let Shen Jueshu handle everything on her own. Maybe it was time she started taking some real action too.

Shen Jueshu didn’t object. In fact, something inside her began to look forward to it.

She was curious to see if Sui Yu’s plan could really get Gu Ying to break.
