The Five Heartless Scumbag Alphas Turned Against Each Other Because Of Me - Chapter 100

Sheng Yiheng was practically rolling her eyes at how disgustingly full of herself Lu Huaixu sounded. Was she serious? So self-obsessed!

If it really were like she said, then why don’t Omegas just walk around naked? Since their bodies are supposedly their best asset, right? But is that acceptable? People dress well to present themselves—just like horses need saddles. Have you ever seen someone streaking through town in broad daylight and getting applause for their “natural charm”? That’s just nonsense.

Completely delusional.

Ignoring Lu Huaixu, Sheng Yiheng focused instead on picking out a pair of elegant pearl earrings—just the right size. The pearls were smooth, luminous, and clearly expensive, yet not over-the-top. They made the Omega’s skin look even fairer, almost glowing, soft like porcelain—absolutely stunning.

Maybe it was because Tan Hua was pregnant, but in the warm lighting of the living room, Sheng Yiheng couldn’t stop thinking how gentle Tan Hua looked—so much so it seemed to seep into her very bones.

After a second of thought, she couldn’t help but mentally compare her to Zheng Jinyu—Tan Hua was worlds better than that fake, manipulative woman.

Sheng Yiheng had good taste. The evening gown was made from fine material, beautifully tailored, and obviously expensive. And yet, even with all the accessories Tan Hua wore, she still managed to look modest and elegant.

Sheng Yiheng had dressed Tan Hua up like a delicate, high-end porcelain doll.

At first glance, people would be awestruck by Tan Hua’s stunning beauty—a mix of softness and charm that didn’t seem real. But at second glance, it was her graceful, unbothered presence that drew people in and made them unable to look away.

Everyone already knew that Tan Hua was a beautiful Omega just by looking at her face and figure. But now, with Sheng Yiheng’s makeover, even standing quietly, she gave off a clear and powerful message—she wasn’t someone just anyone could touch.

She looked like a rare work of art—something powerful Alphas would lock away and protect. Not something you could casually reach for.

Definitely not.

Sheng Yiheng admired her work with pride. But Tan Hua didn’t seem to care. In her mind, now that she was pregnant and out of the running for a mate, how she looked didn’t matter anymore.

And besides, once the heroine gets framed or something goes wrong at tonight’s party, she’d have to jump in and save the day. Wouldn’t it be a waste to ruin such a beautiful outfit in the process?

Still, seeing how happy Sheng Yiheng looked, Tan Hua didn’t say a word. She held her thoughts back and hurried the two Alphas along, “Come on, let’s go! We’re going to be late.”

She sounded urgent, almost anxious. Sheng Yiheng couldn’t help but be suspicious. Why is she in such a rush to get to Cheng Yuan’s party?

What kind of scheme is she hiding now?

Because of earlier delays, they were indeed short on time. Sheng Yiheng didn’t argue and obediently followed Tan Hua into the car. Once inside, she glanced at Lu Huaixu, who looked completely calm and collected, and snapped, “Don’t you have your own car?”

Why was she crowding in with them?

Lu Huaixu nodded casually. “Yeah. Why?”

Why?! Sheng Yiheng glared at her like she wanted to throw her out of the car. But after mentally weighing her chances and realizing she might not win in a fight, she held back, scowled at her for a moment, and then shifted her focus back to Tan Hua.

Lu Huaixu’s sudden concern was a bit much for Tan Hua. Annoyed, she reached over, squeezed Sheng Yiheng’s cheek, and turned her head toward Lu Huaixu. “You two talk. I’m closing my eyes for a bit.”

After days of being busy and sleep-deprived, Tan Hua wasn’t about to pass up the chance to take a nap.

Now left face-to-face with Lu Huaixu, Sheng Yiheng stared blankly. So you’re done loving me already? Just like that?

Tan Hua didn’t know how long she slept, but she was shaken awake by Sheng Yiheng right in the middle of a good dream. She stretched her limbs and then instantly perked up. “Okay, I’m ready. Let’s go.”

The party was being held on one of the top floors of a skyscraper—over a hundred stories up. It took a while just to get there by elevator. As they rose, Tan Hua looked out at the glittering city through the glass walls and couldn’t help murmuring to the system, “If anything really goes down here, the heroine’s not getting out.”

Even taking the emergency stairs would take at least fifteen, maybe twenty, even thirty minutes.

The system winced. “Host, could you think about something positive for once? With you all here, what bad could happen to the heroine?”

Tan Hua said seriously, “That’s exactly why I’m worried she might still end up following the original plot.”

The system fell silent. Fair enough. Everyone knew the heroine’s suffering all began because of this particular group of black-hearted people.

While Tan Hua and the system talked, the elevator finally stopped. The doors opened to reveal a luxurious, dimly lit hotel lobby with black decor and a mysterious, seductive vibe.

Plenty of guests had already arrived—handsome, elegant, dressed to the nines. Tan Hua’s eyes sparkled. But she quickly remembered her mission, calmed her excitement, and started carefully watching her surroundings without drawing attention.

Sheng Yiheng and Lu Huaixu were no strangers to attention, and sure enough, the moment they arrived, people rushed to greet them, exchanging warm smiles and compliments.

Tan Hua, caught in the wave of admiration, couldn’t leave even if she wanted to. So she stood still, scanning the crowd for the heroine.

The noise near the entrance quickly caught Cheng Yuan’s attention.

She had been laughing and chatting with her friends. But as the chatter turned into a buzz, everyone turned toward the door.

One of Cheng Yuan’s friends snorted when she saw Tan Hua. “Oh, it’s her. With all that noise, I thought some streetwalker had wandered in.”

Ning Xi immediately felt awkward and conflicted. She wanted to defend Tan Hua, to say she wasn’t a bad person. But it didn’t feel like the right moment. In the end, she just closed her eyes and pretended to be invisible.

“Sheng Yiheng really treats her well. That dress—it looks like it’s from a recent luxury runway show, doesn’t it?”

Hearing that, someone looked closer. “It is! I asked about it before—they won’t sell it for under ten million.”

Ten million might not be a huge deal to them, but no one usually spends that much just to show off at a party. They exchanged glances, smirking. “She sure came to impress.”

Ning Xi listened quietly, thinking: Maybe she just happened to like the dress? After all, she’d given Tan Hua five million last month as payment.

And spending a few million on a designer item wasn’t unusual for any of them.

But once people formed a prejudice, it was hard to change. Ning Xi was helpless. She wanted to help but didn’t know how.

As her friends gossiped, Cheng Yuan remained quiet, her eyes fixed on Tan Hua.

She noticed how Tan Hua kept scanning the room—not like someone unfamiliar with high society, but like someone searching… for something. Or someone.

That thought made Cheng Yuan more alert. Who is she looking for?

Besides me, is there anyone else here important enough for Tan Hua to watch so closely?

Then, a chilling thought crossed her mind.

Could it be the person trying to harm me?

But how would Tan Hua know that person would be here? Thinking back to the car accident last time, a wild guess formed in her mind—Does Tan Hua know who it is?

Otherwise, how would she have happened to be there that day—and just in time to save her?

Cheng Yuan stared at her for a while, then slowly lowered her gaze. Tan Hua must know something. There’s no other explanation for how she’s acting.

But that just raised another question: How does she know?

Right then, as Cheng Yuan lowered her head, Tan Hua spotted her. Seeing that the heroine was safe and happily chatting with friends, Tan Hua breathed a sigh of relief and told the system, “My fate is mine to decide. Today, I’m going to find out who’s behind the attack on the heroine.”

The system replied, “…I think you should be more worried about yourself.”

Tan Hua blinked. “Why?”

“Because you’re pregnant,” the system said dryly. “And in dog-blood novels, authors are experts at writing miscarriages. Doesn’t matter if you’re the lead or a side character—they all get pushed down the stairs and lose the baby first thing.”

Tan Hua: “…”

That… kind of made sense.

She instinctively clutched her slightly aching lower abdomen and made a firm decision in her heart: Tonight, she must stay far, far away from stairs.

Right after that, Tan Hua started to regret not wearing flat shoes. If only she had thought this through earlier.

Because of her unconscious movement—holding her belly—and the faint frown on her face, Sheng Yiheng immediately stopped chatting with the people around her and leaned down to ask in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

In a setting like this, she didn’t dare let anyone know Tan Hua was pregnant. If word got out, Tan Hua would likely become the target of gossip or worse. So Sheng Yiheng could only give a discreet glance at her belly before quickly looking away—

—as if she were doing something sneaky.

The thought made Sheng Yiheng chuckle silently. The corners of her lips lifted slightly, and a warm smile softened her usually cold and aloof features.

“I’m fine,” Tan Hua snapped back to her senses and shook her head. She casually came up with an excuse to leave. “I’m going to sit down for a bit… and say hello to Cheng Yuan.”

Even Lu Huaixu, who was usually calm, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at that.

Say hello to Cheng Yuan? Was she not afraid of getting chewed out?

But Tan Hua seemed resolute. Without giving anyone time to stop her, she cut through the crowd and walked straight toward Cheng Yuan.

Lu Huaixu reacted quickly and followed her immediately. Only Sheng Yiheng, caught off guard, got swept up by the people surrounding her again and could only watch the two walk away.

She was furious.

Sheng Yiheng bit her lip. Lu Huaixu, you cunning, shameless snake!

After cursing Lu Huaixu in her heart, she suddenly felt wronged and turned her glare toward Tan Hua. What happened to our bond? Abandoning me so soon?

Why did only Lu Huaixu get to tag along? That dress on Tan Hua—it was her who had spent a fortune on it, after all!

Tan Hua, unaware of Sheng Yiheng’s silent frustration, noticed Lu Huaixu following her but didn’t stop her. She walked confidently toward Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan’s friends, seeing Tan Hua approaching, stared at her with sharp eyes. In their minds, they were already drafting fierce lines to defend their friend and tear Tan Hua to pieces if she said anything out of line.

A crowd of girls—whose names Tan Hua couldn’t care less to learn—all wore unfriendly expressions, like they were ready to pounce the second she spoke.

Tan Hua couldn’t help feeling a bit confused. With such a strong group of friends by her side, how did the heroine still end up being bullied so badly by scumbag Alphas and evil supporting characters later on?

Before she could sort that out, one of the girls snapped sharply, “What do you want?”

Pulled from her thoughts, Tan Hua’s eyes softened as she looked at Cheng Yuan. “I came to say hello to Yuan Yuan,” she said gently. Then she glanced at Ning Xi and smiled. “And Ning Ning too.”

“Long time no see.”

Her words made everyone freeze. They turned to Cheng Yuan and Ning Xi with expressions full of shock and suspicion.

Yuan Yuan? Ning Ning? Such affectionate nicknames?!

Had they betrayed us?!

Ning Xi felt the pressure of everyone’s eyes on her and instantly flared up. “What the hell are you calling me that for? Since when are we that close?”

Tan Hua blinked innocently. “Aren’t we? I mean… I’m already pregnant with your child, aren’t I?”

She gave a deeply aggrieved look, her eyes glistening with mock sorrow. “What, are you going to pretend we don’t exist now? Me and the baby?”

She clasped her belly dramatically. “Ning Ning, how could you be so heartless? It hasn’t even been a month and you’re already cutting ties? Abandoning your wife and child?”

Her sudden act stunned the entire group. Jaws dropped in unison. Everyone stared at Ning Xi in disbelief.

Wait, WHAT?! You and her?! A baby?! Together?!

How are you going to explain this to Yuan Yuan?!

Cheng Yuan already knew that Tan Hua was pregnant, and she was also well aware that the baby in Tan Hua’s belly couldn’t possibly be Ning Xi’s. So emotionally, she remained calm. She figured Tan Hua was probably just teasing Ning Xi, knowing how hot-tempered she could be.

Still, it was hard not to feel a little speechless—Tan Hua had just casually assigned her unborn child to such a high-profile “co-parent” like that.

And she wasn’t the only one feeling that way—Lu Huaixu was equally baffled.

Lu Huaixu’s eyelid twitched uncontrollably as she processed what Tan Hua had just said. She didn’t even know what to say. On the one hand, you could argue Tan Hua was being ridiculous… but on the other hand, the baby now technically had a second mom. But that mom was a soft, delicate Omega—not exactly the protective type.

Not much help, really.

Meanwhile, Ning Xi, under the weight of so many shocked stares, exploded like a firecracker. “What nonsense are you spouting?!” she barked, clearly flustered. “Don’t go around slandering my reputation!”

She was still an innocent, unmarried woman—how could she have gotten someone pregnant?

More importantly, she wasn’t even pretending to be with Guo Lanyi anymore, so why was Tan Hua still stirring up trouble?

“But didn’t we meet each other’s parents just last month?” Tan Hua added softly, like she was simply reminding her.

The moment she said it, Ning Xi remembered.

She wanted to explain, to clarify the situation to everyone, but under the pressure of Guo Lanyi’s influence, she could only swallow her frustration and suffer in silence.

“That counts as meeting the parents?” Ning Xi shot back, eyes darting. Her words were uncertain, but she stuck to her denial. “All you did was spend a bit of time with my mom. That’s it.”

By now, she was nearly gritting her teeth. “Besides, how exactly could I, an Omega, get you pregnant?”

Everyone around them thought that actually made sense. One by one, they started regaining their composure, only to turn their scornful gazes toward Tan Hua again.

Not only did you try to steal Yuan Yuan’s spotlight, now you’re falsely accusing Ning Ning too?

But Tan Hua just smiled, her tone playful and full of implication. “Why can’t an Omega get me pregnant? If you want something badly enough, what in this world is really impossible?”

Ning Xi: “……”

She was suddenly starting to regret ever getting involved with Tan Hua in the first place.

Unable to defend herself anymore, Ning Xi stood there speechless—until Cheng Yuan finally stepped in to break the tension. “That’s enough,” she said, placing a hand gently on Ning Xi’s shoulder to calm her down. Then she lifted her gaze and addressed everyone, “Thank you for coming. I’m glad you’re here.”

Her eyes lingered on Lu Huaixu for a couple of seconds longer than everyone else. But when she saw no particular reaction from her, she turned her attention to Tan Hua.

“Are you feeling better now?” she asked, her voice calm.

“Much better,” Tan Hua replied easily. Without hesitation, she sat down in an open seat nearby. She even tugged Lu Huaixu over to sit next to her, like they were at home.

The sight made Cheng Yuan’s friends visibly annoyed.

Seriously? Could she be any more shameless? She’s acting like this place belongs to her, just doing whatever she wants.

“Typical of someone from a poor background—completely lacking manners. So annoying to look at.”

After silently grumbling, one of Cheng Yuan’s friends turned to glance at her, clearly unhappy. On such a joyful and important day, why would you invite someone like that?

Cheng Yuan, however, ignored the judging looks from her friends and continued chatting with Lu Huaixu.

Lu Huaixu stayed calm and neutral the whole time. She wasn’t particularly friendly, nor was she cold. Her expression was steady, her tone flat—calm to the point of dull. Sitting nearby, Tan Hua felt herself start to nod off from boredom.

Still, even as the two of them talked, Tan Hua remained sharp and alert, constantly watching for any signs of danger. After all, this wasn’t just about protecting the heroine anymore—it involved her own safety too.

Every time she thought about that, she couldn’t help mentally cursing the main system. It never helps when it counts, but always finds time to throw weird rules at me.

Her focus began to drift.

Then, from the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed someone standing off to the side, quietly staring at her.

It was Zheng Jinyu.

Without even thinking, Tan Hua picked up her glass of grape juice and started walking toward her. The plot had come this far—it was time they had a serious conversation.

Zheng Jinyu was a strong, capable woman—just as competent as any man. Tan Hua didn’t want her wasting away in heartbreak over a messy love triangle. She deserved a life of her own, full of freedom and ambition.

Not like this—living only to please her or Cheng Yuan, losing herself completely in the process.

And frankly, that kind of confident, independent Zheng Jinyu would shine even brighter.

Tan Hua was still thinking about how to say all this when something unexpected happened—she hadn’t noticed someone standing right behind her.

So, the moment she turned around—

Splash!

She bumped into the person, and the grape juice in her hand spilled straight onto their spotless, crisp white shirt.

Her brain completely froze.

She stood there stiffly, not knowing what to do. “!”

After a long pause, she finally gathered the courage to look up and see who it was.

And in the next second, she was met with a cold, expressionless face—Guo Lanyi.

His eyes were calm, emotionless, like still water. But to Tan Hua, it felt like staring into the abyss.

Why him?!

This kind of cliché, over-the-top accident was supposed to happen to the heroine, not to her!

Tan Hua stared at the deep purple stain spreading across Guo Lanyi’s flawless white shirt, completely panicked. Her lips trembled as she carefully asked, “Um… maybe you should take your shirt off first? I can have someone bring you a clean one to change into.”

Guo Lanyi lowered his gaze to look at the mess on his shirt, then slowly raised an eyebrow. “Here?” he asked coolly.

Tan Hua: “?”

Tan Hua (internally): I mean… I’m not totally against the idea… hehe.

Elegant ice-cold Auntie energy: ??!???!
