The Five Heartless Scumbag Alphas Turned Against Each Other Because Of Me - Chapter 29.1

How outrageous! Such a wealthy Alpha refusing to pay the remaining balance, toying with the heart of a pure and innocent Omega until it’s utterly shattered—bleeding and broken. Truly despicable, worse than a beast!

Lu Huaixu noticed that the way Tan Hua was looking at him seemed… off. No—very off.

He raised an eyebrow. “What’s with that expression?”

At his question, Tan Hua slightly adjusted her gaze and asked in a soft, deliberate tone, “President Lu, have you… been facing some difficulties lately?”

She was being tactful.

“If that’s the case, I don’t mind if today’s payment comes a bit later.”

An Omega’s mind could turn faster than a Category 6 typhoon. Lu Huaixu fell silent for a moment before finally replying, his voice tinged with something hard to define. “I’ll transfer it to you shortly.”

“That’s more like it! I knew someone like you, President Lu—wealthy enough to rival nations—would never be like those stingy clients who drag their feet over final payments.”

Before Lu Huaixu could even finish speaking, Tan Hua had already jumped in, eyes still fixed on him expectantly.

A muscle in Lu Huaixu’s brow twitched. “I’ve got something to take care of. I’ll have my driver take you home. Go ahead and pick a car from the garage.”

“Thank you, President Lu! May you live a thousand years and your fortune endure forever!”

Tan Hua beamed with satisfaction at getting exactly what she wanted, raising her arm in triumphant cheer—prompting Lu Huaixu to immediately distance himself from her in embarrassment.

She made a quick call, and before long, Lu Huaixu’s driver appeared before her with a respectful nod. “Miss Tan, please come with me.”

“Well then—President Lu, see you next time!”

Tan Hua could barely contain her excitement at the thought of choosing a new car. She turned on her heel and darted off, running faster than a rabbit.

Lu Huaixu watched as the driver struggled to keep up with her and couldn’t help but chuckle aloud.

Zheng Jinyu had taken in the entire interaction in silence, a hint of confusion in her heart.

When exactly had her ex-wife gotten so close to Lu Huaixu?

From her years of knowing him, Lu Huaixu had never brought any Omega home—apart from Cheng Yuan.

And now, Tan Hua had clearly become the exception to the rule Cheng Yuan once broke.

It wasn’t necessarily a good thing. After all, it had only been a few months since they divorced, and now Tan Hua was freely coming and going from another Alpha’s home.

Zheng Jinyu was dying to know just how far Tan Hua and Lu Huaixu had gone.

Were they in the early stages of flirtation? Or had they already established a relationship?

Either way, the thought unsettled her deeply.

Lu Huaixu gave her a lazy glance, the corners of his lips curling slightly, but he didn’t say anything to break the silence between them. He was curious to see what exactly Zheng Jinyu was up to with all her sneaking around.

Tan Hua was in high spirits the entire ride. Curious about Lu Huaixu’s car collection, she enthusiastically struck up a conversation with the driver.

Though the driver wasn’t keen on sharing much, he couldn’t ignore the special place Tan Hua clearly held in his boss’s eyes. Hesitating and fumbling with his words, he accidentally revealed more than he intended.

By the time they arrived, Tan Hua had learned everything she should—and shouldn’t—have known.

The driver was instantly filled with regret. But what was done was done, and he could only hope Tan Hua would know where to draw the line.

“President Lu has never liked greedy women,” he said cautiously.
“If you want to stay by her side, you need to be respectful and know your place. That’s the only way you’ll get more in the future.”

Tan Hua easily caught the hidden meaning behind his words. Her eyes twinkled mischievously as she tilted her head and asked with amusement, “Then, Uncle, which car do you think I should choose?”

The driver was immediately speechless. If he gave the wrong suggestion, she might be displeased. But if he said something too flattering, Lu Huaixu might blame him later. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, he fell silent, no longer wanting to engage.

Not that Tan Hua expected any useful advice from him anyway. She was already itching with excitement the entire way there.

The driver stole several glances at her before finally coming to terms with a harsh reality: Tonight, the boss is definitely going to suffer a heavy loss.

But then again, it was the boss himself who made such a bold promise to please a woman. So even if Tan Hua had sky-high ambitions and ended up picking one of his beloved luxury cars, it shouldn’t really fall back on him.

Right?

The driver wasn’t entirely sure. He opened his mouth, then closed it again. Seeing Tan Hua rubbing her hands together in excitement like a bandit who’d just raided a granary, he figured she was probably too dazzled by the windfall to hear any advice. In the end, he gave up.

They arrived at Lu Huaixu’s private parking garage.

It spanned two underground levels and covered over a thousand square meters. Under pristine lighting, an impressive collection of luxury vehicles stood in neat rows—eye-catching and dazzling. Internet-famous models, collector’s editions, global limited editions—every kind imaginable was here.

Just then, the housekeeper appeared quietly. The driver immediately latched onto her like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline, pointing at Tan Hua—who looked as if she’d stumbled into paradise.

“She’s not actually going to choose a car worth over a hundred million, is she?”

“She won’t,” the housekeeper replied with certainty. She didn’t know the Omega that well, but there was a spark of cleverness in Tan Hua’s eyes that told her this young woman wasn’t the type to make such a tone-deaf move.

No hard evidence—just a strong instinct. She firmly believed Tan Hua was a considerate, well-mannered woman who knew where the line was.

Initially, Tan Hua had no particular car in mind. But faced with so many gleaming luxury vehicles tempting her at once, she fell into a full-blown case of choice paralysis.

Unable to decide, she took the initiative to call Lu Huaixu.

“President Lu, I’m in your garage,” she said, swallowing nervously. “But you have so many cars… I honestly don’t know which one to choose.”

Zheng Jinyu thought she’d heard Tan Hua’s voice and immediately fixed her eyes on Lu Huaixu, who had picked up the call.

Was that her on the phone?

Lu Huaixu had expected Tan Hua to call for advice. She was going to tell her to pick whichever one she liked, but just as the words were about to leave her lips, she changed her mind.

“Then take the Pagani.”

Tan Hua froze, her eyes instinctively shifting toward the Pagani. She fell silent.

Was she really going to be that flashy?

“Don’t like it?” Lu Huaixu’s voice came again. “Then switch to the Bugatti—”

“No, no! I love it,” Tan Hua quickly interrupted, grinning ear to ear. “If it’s from President Lu, I’ll love anything!”

Driving a Pagani to work was already flashy enough.

At that moment, Tan Hua’s words were so sweet they made Lu Huaixu feel slightly nauseous.

“Thank you, President Lu! You’re beautiful, kind, generous—truly the most perfect Alpha in the whole world!”

“That’s enough. That’s all,” Lu Huaixu said coolly, hanging up the call. Though her tone was indifferent, Zheng Jinyu caught the slight upward curl at the corner of her lips.

Zheng Jinyu frowned subtly. What did Tan Hua say to her? Was it really worth smiling over in secret?

Tan Hua moved quickly. She took the Pagani keys from the housekeeper and strutted away, driving the luxury sports car off in style.

The driver looked at her, then at the housekeeper. “…Are we really sure this is okay?”

The housekeeper snapped out of her thoughts and pressed her lips together. “President Lu said it herself. What could possibly be the problem?”

The driver let out a surprised “Ah,” clearly not expecting Lu Huaixu to be so obliging to an Omega. The housekeeper narrowed her eyes as she watched Tan Hua’s figure disappear into the distance. Then again, who wouldn’t be?

So many Omegas had tried and failed to breach Lu Huaixu’s emotional defenses, yet somehow, one seemingly penniless Omega had managed to slip through the cracks.

No—after a moment of reflection, the housekeeper reconsidered. At the very least, Tan Hua had top-tier beauty, something that already set her apart from the rest.

Soon, Tan Hua received a notification on her phone: ten million yuan had been transferred from Lu Huaixu.

She looked at the message, then glanced down at the luxury car beneath her. For a brief moment, she truly felt like she had gotten rich overnight.

“Sigh…” Tan Hua suddenly let out a long breath. Her system quickly popped up.

“What’s wrong, Host?”

They couldn’t figure out why she sounded down after getting so much for free in one day.

“Lu Huaixu is so generous, so kind… I almost don’t want to leave her,” Tan Hua said, meaningfully.

It took the system a few seconds to process her words. When it finally did, it was left speechless.

“Host, you’re just being lazy.”

“Sure, Lu Huaixu is great,” Tan Hua said casually. “But Zheng Jinyu and Sheng Yiheng aren’t exactly lacking either.”

As for Wen Chuan… well, best to leave that one out. She was just a kid with barely any savings to her name. If Tan Hua started squeezing her too, the poor girl probably wouldn’t even have money left for bubble tea in the future.

“Host, those two—Zheng Jinyu and Sheng Yiheng—are just as insanely wealthy as Lu Huaixu. If you put in even a little effort, seriously worked on them, forget a Pagani—they could buy you the entire Pagani company without blinking.”

The system tried its best to persuade her, practically talking itself hoarse.

But Tan Hua remained completely unmoved.

“No interest.” She shook her head. “I’m not that ambitious. What I’ve saved up now is already enough to—”

Before she could finish her sentence, the system zapped her with two sharp jolts of electricity.

“How about now? Interested?”

Tan Hua: “…”

She was absolutely sure that if she dared say “no” again, this petty little system would continue electrocuting her out of spite.

“Yes.” She yawned and replied with an insincere twinkle in her eye. “I’m super interested. Just dying with interest.”

“…”

Yeah right—tell that to a ghost.

Tan Hua parked the car outside the bar and, holding the keys, made her way back to her room.

The receptionist greeted her warmly. “Miss Tan, would you like to order any food?”

“No, thank you,” she replied politely, the joy still lingering on her face. “I’m really tired today—I just want to rest early.”

“Of course. Have a lovely evening.”

Pleased by the receptionist’s pretty face and friendly service, Tan Hua returned to her room, lay down for a moment, then got up to shower.

After a day of breaking up fights and falling into water, she felt completely drained. A hot bath was exactly what she needed to relax.

Meanwhile, Wen Chuan sat in the bar, fidgeting restlessly. She kept opening and closing her phone over and over, totally uninterested in the Omega classmates around her.

Her mind was in chaos. She just couldn’t sit still.

Ever since she’d stormed out of Lu Huaixu’s house, Tan Hua hadn’t so much as sent a message—no call, no apology, not even a casual “Are you okay?”

Was she really still busy?

It was almost ten o’clock at night. Was she seriously still working over at Lu Huaixu’s place? Did Lu Huaixu have nothing better to do with her time?
