After Transmigrating into a Scummy Alpha, I Became a Tool Person - Chapter 43

Actually, many people don’t really understand Xia Ruoxi’s personality. She is someone who has always lacked love. If she didn’t care about Xie Yinian, she wouldn’t go out of her way to do all these things for her. Growing up, her environment forced her to obey her parents—any resistance would be met with scolding or even punishment. This shaped her timid nature. Don’t let her cold, distant demeanor fool you; deep down, she’s very fragile. She’s afraid of a lot of things—afraid of losing everything, and most of all, afraid of Xie Yinian leaving her.

Even though she’s a CEO, she worries about her uncle gaining power and stirring up trouble that could throw the company into chaos. As an Omega in this Alpha-respected, Omega-looked-down-upon world, many people underestimate her. At any moment, biased individuals or opportunistic shareholders could try to push her out. She doesn’t have control over everything.

Why didn’t she object when her aunt introduced Xie Yinian to others as her close friend? Because she didn’t see the need for everyone to know that Xie Yinian is her wife. Sometimes, negative rumors can act like sharp swords, so if she has no chance to clarify, it’s better not to tell anyone at all.

Yes, this might have overlooked Xie Yinian’s feelings, but her intentions were good.

As for why Xia Ruoxi didn’t reject Lin Chen in person, it was partly to save face. Lin Chen is the only son of the Lin family, a family with high status and respect in the business world. That’s why her aunt and uncle are so keen on climbing the social ladder. If she had outright rejected him in front of everyone, it could have embarrassed him—and she might have faced public backlash.

And why didn’t Xia Ruoxi explain Lin Chen’s confession? She assumed that Xie Yinian hadn’t seen it because she had already left. When she returned, she didn’t mention it, thinking it wasn’t a big deal. Speaking up might even have caused a misunderstanding, so she decided it was better to remain silent.

It’s like if someone flirts with you on WeChat—you wouldn’t necessarily tell your partner, to avoid making them upset.

In reality, for Xie Yinian, the first two incidents didn’t cause any real harm; once the anger subsided, it was fine. The real damage was caused by her uncle stirring trouble—calling Xia Ruoxi and pressuring her to admit she was about to marry Lin Chen. That was the most critical blow.

At that time, Xia Ruoxi didn’t even realize Xie Yinian was around. She was only verbally agreeing to her uncle’s scheme—but in truth, she never intended it.

This is my personal understanding, so please don’t think Xia Ruoxi is a bad person. I still really like this character. Yes, she made mistakes, but everyone makes mistakes, and it’s fine as long as they recognize and correct them.

I think in a few chapters, they’ll reconcile. I’m honestly not very good at writing tragic arcs—no matter how hard I think, I just don’t know how to write them.
