Did Scumbag A Get Divorced Today? - Chapter 42.1

She had a clean, crisp short haircut, with a few soft strands brushing against her cheeks. Her features still carried the youthful innocence of someone not fully grown, which softened the natural boldness in her face and made her appear much more harmless.

“I’m so sorry! Are you alright?” the girl asked anxiously, attempting to help Sui Yu up. But at that moment, Sui Yu was utterly stunned as she looked at her.

The instant she laid eyes on this girl, something seemed to click in Sui Yu’s mind. She had no idea what Shen Jueshu’s fated A even looked like, but the moment she saw her, she was inexplicably certain—it had to be this bright-eyed, youthful girl standing before her.

Sui Yu dodged the outstretched hand, her thoughts gradually returning to order. She looked at the girl and slowly furrowed her brows. “What’s your name?”

Even though she already had a strong suspicion, she still wanted to confirm it.

The girl, seeing Sui Yu’s frown, mistook it for irritation and quickly replied, “My name is Ding Qisi. I’m an intern who just arrived today.”

Upon hearing the name, Sui Yu’s expression grew increasingly tense—just as she’d thought.

In the novel, Shen Jueshu’s fated match, her ‘A’, was named Ding Qisi. But why had she shown up so soon? According to the original timeline, this character wasn’t supposed to appear for at least another three years.

Could this be the butterfly effect from her relationship with Shen Jueshu?

“Miss, are you sure you’re okay?” Ding Qisi asked again, a little worried.

Sui Yu snapped out of her thoughts, gave her a complex look, shook her head, and turned to enter the elevator, heading back upstairs to the lab.

Her expression was slightly dazed. Since Shen Jueshu’s fated A had already appeared out of nowhere, did that mean Shen Jueshu would still fall for her as before?

If that’s the case… shouldn’t she keep her distance from Shen Jueshu?

Watching Sui Yu walk away, looking lost and distracted, Ding Qisi was thoroughly confused. She turned to a nearby staff member and asked, “Who was that just now?”

The person gave her a complicated glance and replied, “The woman you just bumped into? That’s Mrs. Shen—Sui Yu. She’s also the former chairperson of this company.”

Ding Qisi’s face paled. “Am I going to get fired?!”

The staffer sighed. “…Probably not. Ever since she married President Shen, her temper’s improved a lot.”

Relieved, Ding Qisi let out a sigh of relief. But at the same time, a trace of gloom lingered in her heart as she muttered, “President Shen is actually already married…”

Just the thought of it left her feeling strangely unsettled, like something that should’ve belonged to her had been taken away.

Hearing her muttering, the staffer took a cautious step back. There was definitely something odd about what she’d just said.

Back in her office, Shen Jueshu was still troubled by what had happened upstairs. Her brows furrowed as she truly began reflecting on whether she’d gone too far with Sui Yu. Had she pushed her too hard, to the point that even someone as obedient as Sui Yu had started to rebel?

She let out a deep sigh. Just as she was lost in thought, Qin Qing knocked and entered with a folder.

“President Shen, these are the documents for the Shangyun Network project. They need your signature.”

Shen Jueshu temporarily pushed aside her thoughts, took the folder, and reviewed the contents carefully. After confirming there were no issues, she signed her name. As she closed the folder and handed it back, she suddenly asked, “Who was the person in the elevator with you earlier?”

“Ding Qisi. A new intern, just joined the company,” Qin Qing replied truthfully.

Shen Jueshu nodded without saying much more. After gesturing for Qin Qing to leave, her expression slowly turned cold again.

She still couldn’t make sense of the strange feeling she’d had the moment she saw that girl.

Elsewhere, Jiang Siyue was growing increasingly anxious as she watched Li Jiang appear once again in the filming area.

It had been one thing to see her at the public performance—she could excuse that as a casual visit. But now, Li Jiang was showing up at the filming site again and again. What was going on?

She clutched Mo Yu’s arm tightly, her face tense as she lowered her voice. “Have you noticed anything strange about your sister-in-law lately?”

“Huh? Sister-in-law?” Mo Yu looked confused.

Seeing her dazed reaction, Jiang Siyue was visibly frustrated. “Li Jiang! Li Jiang! You’re dating her sister, aren’t you? That makes her your sister-in-law!”

“Oh, her,” Mo Yu’s face flushed slightly. “No one’s ever used the term ‘sister-in-law’ around me, so I didn’t realize you meant her.”

Jiang Siyue: “…”

Seeing how shy Mo Yu suddenly became, Jiang Siyue was skeptical. This woman could act tougher than anyone on stage—how was she now more timid than herself?

“Have you noticed anything unusual about her?” she asked urgently. Was this girl completely unaware she might be in danger?

“Unusual? Not really? She seems perfectly normal?” Mo Yu answered, still confused. Then she added, a little awkwardly, “Honestly, I don’t know her that well. Every time we meet, her sister’s always there.”

And when they weren’t around her sister, they’d only exchange a few brief words before going about their own business.

Jiang Siyue: “…”

Now she was genuinely confused. Had she just imagined everything?

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Li Jiang glancing in their direction more than once.

“…” There were only two of them here—if she wasn’t looking at Mo Yu, then she had to be looking at her. Right?

Jiang Siyue rolled her eyes. No way. She couldn’t be looking at her. Which meant… could it be that Li Jiang really was harboring some secret thoughts about Mo Yu?

She glanced at the still-oblivious Mo Yu and hesitated. Should she warn her?

But if she did, wouldn’t that ruin the harmony between them? What if Li Jiang just quietly liked and wanted to protect Mo Yu from afar? If she said something, wouldn’t it just make things awkward?

On the other hand, if she stayed quiet and Li Jiang turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing… she’d regret it forever.

She let out a heavy sigh. What a dilemma.

“What’s wrong with you lately? You’ve been acting really weird,” Mo Yu said cautiously. Clearly, this oddball was the one acting strange, yet she was the one questioning everyone else.

“Me? I’m totally normal,” Jiang Siyue replied with a bewildered look. She’d been eating well, sleeping well, and practicing hard. What was weird about that?

“Then why do you keep staring at my sister-in-law?” Mo Yu tilted her head and asked hesitantly, “Don’t tell me… you like my sister-in-law?”

Jiang Siyue: “…Bullshit!” Her voice suddenly shot up in pitch.

The room immediately fell silent. Everyone turned to look at them at once.

Mo Yu, easily embarrassed, blushed furiously under all the attention. She quickly raised her hand to cover Jiang Siyue’s mouth, afraid she might blurt something else out.

Jiang Siyue pushed her hand away and, lowering her voice, gritted out, “Stop talking nonsense. I don’t like her anymore!”

She, Jiang Siyue, refused to be a simp any longer!

Ah Yu had told her: simps never end well!

“Anymore?” Mo Yu immediately caught the keyword.

Jiang Siyue: “…”

On the other side, Li Jiang’s gaze fell on Jiang Siyue. She had no idea what Jiang Siyue and Mo Yu had just been talking about to get her so worked up.

“President Li? President Li?” A staff member called her name.

“Hmm? Sorry, I got distracted for a moment. Could you repeat that?” Li Jiang snapped back to attention and offered an apologetic nod to the staffer in front of her.

The staffer blinked. Frankly, she couldn’t understand why such a high-level executive kept showing up in person for a minor sponsorship.

Still, she repeated her earlier explanation.

“Yes, that’s fine. You can discuss the remaining details with my assistant,” Li Jiang said after listening, nodding decisively.

The staffer: “…” She made cooperation sound a little too easy.

With negotiations done, she noticed Li Jiang still seemed interested in hanging around. She didn’t stop her but instructed others nearby to keep a subtle eye on her.

After all, most of the contestants here were Omegas. Letting an Alpha wander freely without oversight wasn’t exactly safe.

Once the others left, Li Jiang took a moment, then started walking in the direction of Jiang Siyue.

Jiang Siyue and Mo Yu watched her approach: “…”

Please don’t come over.

They screamed in unison internally. Mo Yu simply feared the awkwardness, while Jiang Siyue just didn’t want to deal with the bad vibes.

When Li Jiang reached them, her gaze fell on Jiang Siyue, who looked back at her with a guarded expression. Li Jiang couldn’t help but wonder—why was this girl so wary of her?
