Did Scumbag A Get Divorced Today? - Chapter 50.2

Hearing this, Shen Jueshu looked down at Sui Yu, whose face was half-buried in her chest. The warmth of her breath filtered through the loose knit of her sweater, seeping into her skin, reaching her heart.

“So sweet,” she said, gently stroking Sui Yu’s hair, a tender smile curling on her lips.

Sui Yu: “…”

Why did that sound like a pet owner praising a well-behaved dog?

She shook that thought from her mind with force. No! What kind of weird idea was that? Who was the pet here?!

The incident between the two of them didn’t stir up much internally, but outside? The public was ablaze with speculation. Many questioned if Sui Yu’s entire scandalous persona had been a façade. But why? Others insisted she was lying. How could rumors exist without a shred of truth? Some even started feeling sorry for Shen Jueshu.

Marrying such a wild Alpha—this kind of drama surely wouldn’t be the last. Mistresses showing up was already embarrassing, especially for someone like Shen Jueshu, a powerful, career-driven Omega. It was shameful.

Those who envied Shen Jueshu—or resented how an Omega had risen above so many Alphas—began to mock her with passive-aggressive remarks.

What’s the use of being a strong Omega, they said, if you can’t even control your own Alpha? This time, it was women. What if one day someone showed up with a baby?

Gender equality may have come far, but there were still those who held the deepest malice for Omegas. Even when Alphas were clearly at fault, somehow the blame always got twisted onto the Omega.

When Sui Yu heard this gossip, she nearly exploded.

If she was really that wild, then why would she let Shen Jueshu mark her? A marked Alpha lost all interest in anyone else—it dulled every other attraction. There was no fun in chasing after someone else once that bond was formed.

The level of malice was absurd.

Sui Yu’s expression darkened. Since these people already thought so little of her, she saw no reason to play the nice guy anymore. She immediately instructed the cybersecurity team to track all employees using the company network to post hateful or degrading comments about Omegas or her relationship.

Those identified were fired on the spot.

The reason? “Incompatible with company values. Unfit to remain employed.”

Sui Yu was genuinely angry. Laugh at her all you want—but she would not tolerate anyone directing venom toward Shen Jueshu. You take a company’s paycheck, you don’t have to bow and scrape to the boss—but there’s a line. Petty gossip is one thing. Wishing someone harm? Absolutely not. Such people would never follow a leader sincerely anyway.

When Shen Jueshu found out what she’d done, she only sighed lightly and said nothing.

Sui Yu, however, misinterpreted the sigh. She thought Shen Jueshu disapproved and immediately felt conflicted. She knew she had acted impulsively, but she couldn’t stand to see people speak so cruelly about her.

“Our company’s salary and benefits are among the best in the industry. I don’t like the idea of people taking all that, and then turning around and using us for entertainment gossip.”

If you take our money, then shut your damn mouth.

Shen Jueshu hugged her gently. Seeing how upset Sui Yu was, her heart ached. “But if you go that far, those people will only speak worse of you once they’re gone.”

Sui Yu’s voice was muffled. “They already don’t say anything nice about me.”

…That was true. Shen Jueshu couldn’t really argue with that.

But after Sui Yu’s crackdown, the gossip in the company came to an abrupt halt. The strange, prying stares disappeared, and the entire workplace atmosphere noticeably improved. Colleagues spoke more kindly, communication flowed better, and internal friction during work interactions dropped significantly.

It turns out: the fewer passive-aggressive people there are, the higher the happiness index becomes.

As the end of the year approached, companies across the board began preparing for their annual banquets. Everyone was focused on wrapping up the old year with a memorable celebration—and starting the new one on a stronger note.

This year’s annual gala at Suihe Group was a little different—it was co-hosted with Shen Group, a rare joint event between the two corporations. The idea was to not only elevate the celebration but also create opportunities for young employees to interact with peers from another company, rather than being limited to their own familiar circles.

As for Sui Yu’s team in the research lab, she gave them generous year-end bonuses and simply tossed them into Suihe’s Secretariat Department for the evening. Since they were already on good terms with the secretaries, it wasn’t hard for them to blend in and enjoy the event together.

The novelty of the joint gala added to the excitement, and rumor had it that this year’s prizes were especially lavish.

By the time the party rolled around, Sui Yu’s leg had mostly healed—no more crutches, at least. As long as she didn’t run or do anything strenuous, she was fine. That night, she wore a matching red suit with Shen Jueshu. The two of them standing together drew countless stares—everyone agreed: they looked perfect together.

Both women wore tailored red suits, the only difference being the cut of their collars. Tall and striking, they radiated presence. Even though Shen Jueshu was traditionally seen as a gentle, refined Omega, tonight, standing beside Sui Yu, she was effortlessly commanding—elegant and powerful, not the least bit overshadowed by her top-tier Alpha partner.

“Ahhh! President Shen is killing me—no wonder she’s the role model for us Omegas!” a female Omega squealed, clutching her cheeks and practically sparkling with admiration. Sui Yu was completely ignored beside her.

“Damn! Just how many lifetimes of good karma did President Sui accumulate to land a wife like her?” someone groaned, pounding one fist into the other palm in frustration.

“I want a wife like President Shen too! Let’s get rid of President Sui and make Shen Jueshu ours—no one gets to have her all to themselves!”

They had already walked past, but Sui Yu’s Alpha hearing caught every word loud and clear.

“…”

So now she not only had to guard against other Alphas, but also these shameless Omegas with wandering hands?

She glanced at Shen Jueshu beside her, a thoughtful look forming on her face.

Naturally, Shen Jueshu had also heard the comments. But she paid them no mind. Seeing the way Sui Yu had suddenly fallen into silent contemplation, a big question mark popped into her head.

“Hm? What are you thinking about?”

Sui Yu stroked her chin thoughtfully and replied, “I’m just trying to figure out how you manage to attract every ABO type.”

No gender spared. Truly, universal appeal.

Shen Jueshu: “…”

She shot Sui Yu a sidelong glance, too lazy to dignify that nonsense with a reply. Instead, she grabbed her hand and pulled her along to greet her parents.

Sui Yu, now ignored: “…”

Was she no longer Shen Jueshu’s precious treasure?

But facing Shen Jueshu’s parents meant she couldn’t slack off. She straightened her already pristine suit and pasted on the most obedient, daughter-in-law-worthy smile she could manage. After all, the recent scandal hadn’t gone unnoticed—Shen’s parents surely knew. She was nervous her reputation had plummeted again.

Shen’s parents were already seated at the main table. When they saw Shen Jueshu approaching hand-in-hand with Sui Yu, Mother Shen gave Sui Yu a faint, cold huff.

Sui Yu felt a chill down her spine. All the goodwill she’d painstakingly built up—gone, just like that?!

Plot Maintenance Bureau, Traverser Association—I’ll remember this.

Afterward, she and Shen Jueshu privately speculated about who could be behind the mess. The most likely suspects? Definitely those two organizations. No one else would care so much about breaking them up.

They couldn’t say for sure whether it was the Plot Maintenance Bureau or the Traverser Association—but one of them was definitely behind it.

“Dad, Mom,” Sui Yu greeted sweetly, completely in daughter-in-law mode.

Father Shen glanced at her—his look bore an uncanny resemblance to the one Shen Jueshu often gave her. Truly, like father, like daughter.

“Sit,” he said coolly. No sarcastic jabs, thankfully.

Sui Yu obediently sat beside Shen Jueshu, somehow feeling like she was a daughter-in-law in olden times—granted permission by her in-laws to join the table.

The thought startled her. Hold on—she married Shen Jueshu. When did she become the wife?!

Under the table, she pinched Shen Jueshu’s hand in silent protest. She was supposed to be the little wife, not Sui Yu!

Feeling the sneaky pinching, Shen Jueshu shot her a glance before calmly turning back to chat quietly with her parents.

“Dad, don’t scare her.”

Father Shen gave a sideways glance at Sui Yu, who was now staring down at the table, lips slightly pouted—who knows what was going through her head. His eyes reflected mild disdain.

Even though his daughter had called earlier to explain that Sui Yu wasn’t as reckless as the rumors made her seem, who could say if that wasn’t just sweet talk to fool his daughter?

After all, Alpha smooth talk was always more persuasive than any love poem.

And seriously—this woman was an Alpha, yet she couldn’t even outshine his daughter in presence? How could he show his face to others like this?

“Does she look scared to you?” Father Shen grumbled, clearly unimpressed.

Shen Jueshu followed his gaze—right to Sui Yu’s slightly pouty lips.

“…”

Oh no. I kind of want to kiss her.

She subtly moved her hand that was being toyed with under the table, signaling Sui Yu to behave herself in public.

But Sui Yu immediately tightened her grip, afraid she’d pull away—reluctantly fondling her fingers like she was holding some precious treasure. Even her hands are unfairly attractive.

Shen Jueshu: “…” Forget it.

She turned back to check on her parents. Maybe because the plotline had shifted, she noticed something unusual—they both looked more energetic lately. Combined with recent clean medical reports, she couldn’t help but feel a flutter of hope.

Could it be… that her parents’ tragic fate from her previous life might really be avoided?

If so, they could live healthy, happy lives. And that possibility alone made her heart beat faster.

Now that the company was holding its annual gala, Jiang Siyue had, of course, returned to attend. She arrived a bit late and made a beeline straight for their table, cheerfully greeting Shen Jueshu’s parents with an easy familiarity that instantly won over Mother Shen.

She pulled Jiang Siyue down to sit beside her, eyeing the girl’s striking looks and charming personality—growing fonder by the second. Grasping her hand, she said warmly, “I’ve always wanted a daughter like you. But Jueshu—who knows who she takes after—has such a cold personality. It’s always been a regret of mine.”

As she spoke, she shot a side-eye at Shen Jueshu, clearly displeased with her daughter’s lack of affectionate clinginess.

Shen Jueshu: “…” So this is my fault now?

Jiang Siyue blinked her innocent big eyes, sensing there was a deeper meaning behind that statement.

“Yueyue, I’ve always wanted a daughter like you,” Mother Shen said again, now gently holding her hand. “Would you let me be your godmother? Jueshu can be your older sister!”

She really did like this child—having seen her in competitions and variety shows, she admired her sincerity and bright energy.

Jiang Siyue blinked again, clearly caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. She glanced between Shen Jueshu and Sui Yu, scratching her head and hesitantly asked, “But if I become your goddaughter… how do I still call her sister-in-law?”

She was already used to calling her sister-in-law. If she became Jueshu’s god-sister, wouldn’t that mess everything up?

“Just keep calling her sister-in-law! You call her yours, and I’ll call you mine—no conflict at all!” Mother Shen laughed delightedly, still clinging to her hand.

Shen Jueshu: “…”

Sui Yu: “…”

Father Shen, on the other hand, looked like he’d seen this coming all along—not even surprised.

“Well… okay!” Jiang Siyue nodded, then very sweetly called out, “Godmom!” Her voice was so sweet it practically melted hearts.

“Ahh!” Mother Shen replied with glee, immediately digging into her purse to hand Jiang Siyue a red envelope—a traditional gift for newly adopted godchildren.

Shen Jueshu: “…” So… this was premeditated.

Sui Yu watched as those two women leaned in close, chatting happily. A strange, subtle sorrow crept over her.

Even Siyue is being doted on so much… Meanwhile, she was like a lonely cabbage in a cold field. No one wanted her.

Shen Jueshu quietly squeezed Sui Yu’s hand—sensing her mood shift. For once, Sui Yu stopped fidgeting.

Feeling her hand being gently held, Sui Yu smiled and her heart warmed again.

Wait, no. I still have Shen Jueshu. She still wants me.

Although the event was harmonious overall, that didn’t mean there wasn’t some underlying competition between the two companies—especially when it came to performances. Each side wanted to outshine the other with creativity and impact.

But in the end, all the other performances were utterly overshadowed by a single act from Shen Group—an original dance performance entirely dedicated to confessing admiration for Shen Jueshu. They even openly expressed hopes that she would return to lead Shen Group again!

Suihe employees: “!!!”

These people were outrageous! They were trying to steal their CEO!

Even Shen Jueshu couldn’t help but smile at the performance. She found them quite adorable.

Seeing her smile, the performers erupted into cheers, declaring their undying loyalty and awaiting her triumphant return.

Suihe staff: grinding their teeth in fury.

Sui Yu: Trying to steal my wife?!

Father Shen, on the other hand, was very pleased. He made a mental note to reward those performers later.

After the gala, Sui Yu clutched Shen Jueshu’s hand nervously. “You’re not really going back to Shen Group, are you?”

If she did, Sui Yu wouldn’t be able to see her anytime she wanted. At least now, in the Suihe building, she just had to go downstairs!

Seeing Sui Yu’s expression—like she was bracing for battle—Shen Jueshu chuckled and reached up to pinch her cheek. Her voice was soft and a little lazy, almost teasing: “What’s wrong? Worried no one will manage Suihe if I leave?”

Sui Yu shook her head at once. “No, I’m worried I won’t be able to see you anytime I want!”

For someone in their first relationship—and still deep in the honeymoon phase—not being able to see her girlfriend freely was torture. Who didn’t want to stick close to the one they loved?

“And why do you want to see me so badly?” Shen Jueshu asked, her voice slightly tipsy from the alcohol, smooth and sultry.

Looking at her now—cheeks faintly flushed, voice a soft drawl—Sui Yu gulped. Her throat felt dry. She wanted to hug her. Kiss her. Maybe even… eat her.

Maybe those thoughts weren’t so innocent anymore, because her pheromones began to seep out uncontrollably, swirling around Shen Jueshu like a peacock fanning its feathers—desperate to attract attention.

Having a mutual mark with Sui Yu, Shen Jueshu naturally sensed the pheromones—and could even faintly interpret the desire beneath them.

Her smile deepened. She leaned into Sui Yu’s chest, fingers lifting her chin ever so gently. Her voice, like warm honey, curled around her words:

“My Alpha… what are you thinking?”
