The Five Heartless Scumbag Alphas Turned Against Each Other Because Of Me - Chapter 121

Guo Lanyi was almost amused to the point of laughter—out of sheer disbelief. She couldn’t tell whether Lu Huaixu was deliberately defending Tan Hua or purposefully flaunting her own success. Either way, her words left Guo Lanyi feeling deeply irritated.

With a languid shift in posture, the woman said indifferently, “So what?”

“She’s your girlfriend now, isn’t she? Then logically, I only need to defeat you, right?” Guo Lanyi didn’t fall into Lu Huaixu’s trap. Instead, she replied boldly, “You’ve already beaten everyone else and claimed the final victory. That makes you my sole opponent.”

“My opponent is only you,” Guo Lanyi added, her mood suddenly brightening, “but your opponents are far more than just me… By that logic, my chances of winning are much higher than yours.”

If she really wanted to throw all reason aside and just take what she wanted, what ethical principles would she even need to consider?

What a joke.

Since when had Guo Lanyi ever seriously followed reason? Never.

Although Lu Huaixu didn’t have much personal interaction with Guo Lanyi, she had a decent understanding of her character. She knew the Alpha wouldn’t hesitate to break rules or take drastic measures to get what she wanted—but Lu Huaixu wasn’t worried.

She merely smiled with layered meaning. “Then, President Guo, by all means, give it a try. Let’s see if the strategy you’re plotting in your mind will actually work.”

Her smile was anything but kind. Guo Lanyi couldn’t help but fall into thought. The faint smile lingering on her face slowly faded, replaced by a more investigative expression.

Although she didn’t suspect Lu Huaixu of setting some kind of trap, she wasn’t so reckless as to charge ahead without understanding the situation. Besides, she still couldn’t tell whether Lu Huaixu was genuinely trying to warn her—or throwing out a smokescreen to scare her off.

After a moment of contemplation, Guo Lanyi concluded: it’s probably a smokescreen.

Judging by the way Lu Huaixu treasured that girl, could she really stand to see her little darling stolen away by another Alpha? If that were to happen, she’d probably lose her mind.

With that settled in her heart, a faint smile once again crept across Guo Lanyi’s lips. She returned Lu Huaixu’s look with an ambiguous grin and said, “Since President Lu is so gracious with her invitation, it would be rude of me to refuse.”

Lu Huaixu didn’t respond—she simply maintained her earlier enigmatic smile.

The unchanging calmness on her face only further confirmed Guo Lanyi’s suspicions. This woman was clearly putting on a strong front, feigning composure. If Guo Lanyi weren’t present right now, she probably would’ve broken into a scowl already.

After studying Lu Huaixu’s face with playful amusement for a while, Guo Lanyi already had a plan in mind.

Meanwhile, Lu Huaixu glanced at Guo Lanyi’s “charge-ahead-without-looking-back” demeanor and silently lifted her teacup with a small smile. Yet another woman who refused to listen, hell-bent on rushing headfirst into the flames.

Did they all really think Omegas were fragile creatures? Just Tan Hua alone could throw their entire world into chaos.

As for trying to talk Guo Lanyi out of it—that was never going to work. The more she tried to dissuade her, the more fired up Guo Lanyi would get. In the end, she might even make it a point to target her out of spite. It simply wasn’t worth the effort.

Tan Hua was still pregnant. No matter how ruthless Guo Lanyi could be, there were limits she wouldn’t dare cross. After all, the Omega Maternity Protection Act hung like a sword over the heads of every Alpha. Should anything happen to Tan Hua, Guo Lanyi would be dragged into the mess too—no amount of power or influence could save her.

Besides, if Guo Lanyi was truly interested in Tan Hua, then she probably wouldn’t go too far. Ning Xi had been perfectly fine for over twenty years with no serious incidents, so Guo Lanyi’s character could be trusted—to an extent.

An Alpha like Guo Lanyi—while not exactly vicious—certainly wasn’t innocent either. At most, she’d enjoy scaring Omegas and taking pleasure in their fear.

But when it came to Tan Hua… Lu Huaixu couldn’t quite guarantee whether it would be Guo Lanyi intimidating Tan Hua, or the other way around.

Either way, she was genuinely looking forward to seeing the complicated expression on Guo Lanyi’s face when she eventually returned Tan Hua, looking utterly defeated and full of regret.

The two Alphas each harbored their own thoughts in silence.

Meanwhile, Ning Xi was giving Tan Hua a preemptive warning. “Now that you’re officially our biological child, it’s time to be careful of Guo Lanyi.”

“She’s not very physically aggressive, but she ranks sky-high when it comes to being terrifying.”

Ning Xi continued, “I’m still not sure if my fear of her is PTSD or something else entirely, but the moment I see her, I just get overwhelmed with dread.”

She gave Tan Hua a once-over and then added, “But for you, I don’t think this will be much of an issue.”

“In fact… you might even enjoy it, right?”

Her certainty—in both her tone and gaze—left Tan Hua speechless.

The system immediately popped up, whispering into her ear,
“Host, she really knows you well… She even guessed you’d be excited by this.”

After its usual commentary, it added,
“Unfortunately, she’s not wrong. Guo Lanyi is currently very interested in you.”

“So, you need to be extra cautious going forward. Don’t end up like Ning Xi—getting snatched off the street and taken home to ‘play’.”

Tan Hua raised an eyebrow slightly, puzzled.
“But don’t I have Lu Huaixu? With her around, how could Guo Lanyi possibly abduct me?”

“Lu Huaixu, huh…” The system dragged out her name, hesitating for a long moment before saying,
“That… I honestly can’t say.”

It wavered for a while, but in the end, it didn’t reveal Lu Huaixu’s current intentions—otherwise, Tan Hua would surely march over right this second and cause a full-blown scene with her.

Mainly, the system was curious to see how Guo Lanyi would fare once the host had thoroughly worn her down. Almost half her life would be gone by the end of it.

How entertaining.

Guo Lanyi was the final target of this “strategy game,” and victory was almost within reach. If the system blocked their meeting now, how would their mission proceed?

So, for the time being, they’d just have to let Guo Lanyi suffer a little.
Consider it… a little payback on behalf of Ning Xi, Tan Hua’s beloved older sister.

Having sorted all this out internally, the system quickly chimed in again:
“Anyway, host, you’re a pregnant Omega now. No matter how bold Guo Lanyi is, she wouldn’t dare do anything too extreme.”

“For now, all you have to do is resist when Guo Lanyi tries to seduce you. Just make sure you don’t flip the script and end up seducing her instead.”

“As long as you hold steady, this whole thing will hold steady too.”

Tan Hua: “…”
What exactly did the system think she was? Some kind of lecherous delinquent?

She suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at the system and decided to ignore it. At the same time, she wasn’t particularly inclined to entertain Ning Xi either.
What did she mean by saying I might get excited?
Okay… sure, that might be true—No, wait, what the hell—shut up!

With her arms crossed, Tan Hua forced a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
“But I’m not even living at home.”

She chuckled lightly. “I have work every day. I spend all 24 hours either with Sheng Yiheng or Lu Huaixu. Even if Guo Lanyi wanted to try something, she wouldn’t have the chance.”

Ning Xi was briefly stunned. Then her expression turned hesitant—that was actually a valid point.

Wait, no—her eyes widened abruptly.
If Guo Lanyi can’t get to Tan Hua… then wouldn’t she come after me again?!

Ning Xi nearly ascended from this beautiful world on the spot. Her face turned serious with sudden urgency as she asked, “Then tell me—if I choose to go abroad right now, do you think I’d make it?”

Tan Hua blinked and then shook her head. “No idea. But you could give it a shot.”

She added with a mischievous glint in her eye, “But think about it—if Guo Lanyi hasn’t done anything to you all these years, maybe she’s just not interested in you like that.”

Tan Hua kept stoking the flames. “Actually, I think next time she shows up, you should be the one to flirt with her. See if she panics and runs away from you instead.”

“If she does avoid you, then you can flip the script. Use her own tactics against her—find ways to scare her off until she starts dodging you like the plague.”

After making her suggestion, Tan Hua looked over and asked,
“What do you think?”

Ning Xi: “…I don’t dare. I’m scared.”

Tan Hua sighed. “Useless. Fine—leave it to me.”

Even though Ning Xi suspected Tan Hua had a few selfish motives mixed in with her generous offer, she was still incredibly grateful.
“Okay, okay—if you manage to get revenge on Guo Lanyi for me, I’ll give you all my allowance for the year!”

“No need,” Tan Hua replied without hesitation. “I already make more than enough money.”

“Talking about money between sisters just hurts the relationship.”

Ning Xi: “?”
Excuse me, who was the one pestering me endlessly over a mere five million—hounding me like I was going to run off without paying?

Tan Hua thought seriously for a moment about what kind of compensation she did want. Eventually, she said,
“If you really want to thank me, then after my baby’s born… you can help raise them for me.”

“How about it?”

Ning Xi: “??” Absolutely not.

She was still a pure, unmarried young woman who hadn’t even held an Alpha’s hand. Raise someone else’s baby? What was this, a sitcom?

Ning Xi sat in stunned confusion for a few seconds before finally asking the question weighing on her mind:
“Why do you want me to raise your child? Don’t you still have Lu Huaixu?”

“Is she not willing to help you raise the baby?”

“That’s not it,” Tan Hua shot back quickly, giving Ning Xi a ‘are you dumb?’ kind of look.
“Who stays in a relationship with just one person forever?”

“With a face this pretty, and a body this curvy—don’t I deserve to have more than one girlfriend?”

Ning Xi was struck speechless. Her deeply rooted belief in pure, monogamous love was being thoroughly demolished.

And Tan Hua wasn’t done:
“Besides, Lu Huaixu and I are in a contract relationship. Once the time’s right, we’ll part ways and go back to being single.”

“She’ll go find her sweet little wifey, and I’ll go find my hot, dominant Alpha babe. No strings attached. Win-win.”

Ning Xi was at a complete loss for words. In the end, she could only try to use the baby as a bargaining chip to talk some sense into her.
“But have you thought about how your baby might feel growing up like that?”

“If their mom never settles down, changes girlfriends like changing clothes—don’t you think other kids might mock or look down on them?”

Tan Hua looked genuinely puzzled. “Why would you think that?”

“My taste isn’t bad. Take Lu Huaixu, for example—an elite socialite who’s always topping the hottest singles lists. Which Omega wouldn’t want to marry into her wealth and power?”

“My baby will have a mom like that—if anyone bullies her, the first thing I’ll do is call Lu Huaixu and have her come handle it.”

Tan Hua crossed her arms and grinned arrogantly.
“Every time I change girlfriends, my baby gets one more mom. By the time I’m done, my exes will be everywhere, across every industry. You think anyone would dare mess with my kid?”

Ning Xi: “…”

She was shocked to her core. At a loss, she finally just said,
“Forget all that nonsense for a second and think about this: when the time comes, do you really think Lu Huaixu will agree to a breakup?”

A leopard doesn’t let go of meat that’s already in its mouth.
What kind of joke was she trying to make?

As soon as Ning Xi said that, all of Tan Hua’s grand ambitions seemed to be doused in a bucket of cold water. Her lips pressed tightly together, and she stared silently at Ning Xi.
“…That might be a problem.”

What if—she was only saying what if—Lu Huaixu refused to break up?

Tan Hua: I just wanted to taste the sweetness of a few different love stories… (x)
President Lu: Another well-known victim incoming +1
Auntie (watching from the sidelines): I don’t buy it—how much trouble can one little Omega really cause?
