The Scumbag Alpha's Plan to Save the Female Lead - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The doctor awkwardly put down his stethoscope.

A steady heartbeat, a stable pulse.

If this wasn’t his old classmate’s child, he probably would’ve directly thrown the person out of the ward.

Why come to the hospital if you’re not sick? It was purely a waste of medical resources.

Dr. Mu forced a smile: “Zhi Qiu, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly cry?”

“Nothing, I just had a nightmare.” Zhi Qiu’s voice was still hoarse, and she forced a smile.

“Uncle Mu, don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine.”

After Ruan Ye fell into the sea, she jumped in after her.

Then she had no memory, so they probably drowned together in that part of the ocean.

Zhi Qiu lifted her head, not wanting her tears to fall.

How could she have been so stupid back then?

How could she have regarded the so-called plot as the ultimate truth, ignoring real human emotions, and realizing her true feelings and Ruan Ye’s abnormality so late?

In the original novel, this identity’s reputation was indeed poor, and rumors were frequent.

Outside the ward door, Zhi Qiu clearly heard the nurses’ increasingly intense gossip.

“That’s right, the patient in this room is that famous A from Norrington Private School. I heard she’s dated over a dozen O’s, toying with their feelings, and always breaking up when the O loves her the most. With such a corrupted character, I don’t know why so many people still flock to her. Isn’t it just because she has some stinky money!”

“Sigh, those O’s all think they’re the destined one, that they’re the most special, and that the A will settle down once they meet them. In the end, they’re all heartbroken one by one. I heard many O’s are still thinking of getting back with her.”

Although the rumors were somewhat absurd, they weren’t entirely baseless.

The doctor frowned upon hearing these discussions.

While his friend’s child was a bit troublesome, she was definitely not as outrageous as the rumors suggested.

Mu Ye took off his stethoscope, opened the ward door, and quietly sent the gossiping nurses downstairs.

The ward fell quiet again, with only the sound of precision instruments running and the two people’s even breathing.

He was a friend of Zhi Qiu’s father. He had just returned to the country this year when he heard that the child he had watched grow up had been in a car accident, so he quickly pulled some strings to get a job at this private hospital, hoping to help in some way.

The result—

Except for a slight fracture in her right leg, all her other indicators were good.

He didn’t know why she was crying so hard right after waking up.

Mu Ye sighed, thinking it was because of the exaggerated rumors.

He comforted her: “The preconceptions in people’s minds are like a mountain. They only believe what they are willing to believe. Why should you care what these people think of you? It’s enough as long as the people you care about know you didn’t do it.”

Zhi Qiu nodded in agreement.

She wasn’t crying because of these unimportant people.

She regretted disappointing the person who truly loved her deeply.

“Uncle Mu, I want to ask you for a favor.”

Mu Ye raised an eyebrow: “What is it?”

He didn’t think it would be anything good.

Zhi Qiu’s tone was firm: “Help me process the discharge paperwork right now. I need to go back to Norrington.”

In front of Norrington’s magnificent school gate, a stretched limousine was parked, followed closely by an exaggerated pink luxury car.

The first to alight were several bodyguards uniformly dressed in black uniforms, standing in a well-trained vertical row on both sides of the car door.

One of the bodyguards named Shang Wu respectfully opened the car door and offered his hand to the person inside.

Just then, a fiercely dressed female Omega got out of the car behind, approached aggressively, and slapped away the man’s outstretched hand: “Hey, take your dirty hand back. How dare a low-class Beta like you touch Zhi Qiu’s hand?”

The burly man was hunched over, his hand still extended, unmoving.

Yuan Menglu sneered.

An unappreciative idiot.

He couldn’t even see her good intentions; he just waited to be humiliated.

The sun was scorching, and the bodyguard’s uniform was already soaked with sweat.

Shang Wu’s dark skin was covered in a thin layer of sweat, but he stubbornly kept his hand outstretched.

Yuan Menglu shielded her eyes from the glaring sun with her arm and sighed inwardly.

A long time ago, Zhi Qiu had told her about Shang Wu.

This person was assigned to her by her father. She had always thought he was a double agent planted by her father to monitor her and had a very bad attitude towards him.

Forget it.

No need to bother with a fool.

Yuan Menglu sighed, ready to step forward to mediate and give both sides a way out.

But before she could speak, a pair of pale, slender hands suddenly reached out from the car and gently rested on the dark arm.

“Thank you for your hard work,” Zhi Qiu praised.

There were many things she needed to correct after rebirth, but she couldn’t do it too obviously. Instead, she had to slowly change the impression people around her had of her.

Therefore, even though she had a thousand words to say after rebirth, now was not the time.

Yuan Menglu’s mouth dropped open as she looked at the western sky.

Zhi Qiu glanced at her: “What are you looking at? We’re at the school gate, hurry up.”

Yuan Menglu blinked at her friend, making a gesture of Xizi holding her heart in pain: “I’m looking at the sun.”

The sun really came out from the west!

Zhi Qiu smiled without saying a word, urging her to quickly push the wheelchair forward.

This was already the fourth time this week the teacher had called Ruan Ye out for a talk alone.

She couldn’t concentrate on class because the head teacher constantly called her to the office over trivial matters.

In the office, Ruan Ye’s head teacher and math teacher, Qian Yan, spoke insincerely: “Ruan Ye, your family is not well off. If you have any difficulties, you should tell your teacher. Why did you suddenly change your phone number and move out? Yesterday, no one could reach you. Student Fu, your parents, and your teachers were all very worried about you. If you have any problems, you must communicate with your teacher promptly.”

“The school needs to update student information, so please register your new address and phone number.” Qian Yan handed a pen to the girl, who was looking down.

A few years ago, Qian Yan accepted this special enrollment student into her class to get a job promotion, pretending to be a kind teacher.

With the promotion secured, she was too lazy to keep up the act.

If Fu Jinyan’s assistant hadn’t called her yesterday, promising her the position of Dean of Students next semester as long as she kept a close eye on the girl, she wouldn’t have called this person with little practical value to clutter her office.

The girl’s hand holding the pen trembled slightly. She kept her head down, suppressing her emotions so that no one could tell what she was thinking.

Two voices were tearing at Ruan Ye’s heart.

“Sign it. Not signing will only cause unnecessary trouble. You can escape for one day, but you can’t escape forever.”

“Don’t tell her. If you keep letting these people bully you at will, these days will never end!”

“What difference does not signing make? These people will find you sooner or later. Just go ahead and directly…”

The girl was slow to act. Qian Yan finally grew impatient and showed her harsh side: “Don’t be ungrateful. Young Master Fu wants your address. I am helping you here. You should know that the money for your grandmother’s VIP ward treatment was paid by Young Master Fu. You moved without saying a word. Did you consider your grandmother? How much longer does she have to live? If she can’t afford the expensive fees at the hospital, how will she be treated by the medical staff?”

She was right.

Grandmother was still in the hospital.

Suppressing the urge for revenge that was about to burst forth in her mind, Ruan Ye closed her eyes and finally compromised.

Although the desk in the Norrington school office faced the sun, and the warm sunlight fell on her uniform, she only felt a chill deep in her bones, as if she had fallen into a dark, cold ice cellar.

After writing down the address and walking out of the office door, she was completely disoriented, so much so that when she turned a corner, her leg accidentally hit a hard object heavily, and she quickly lost her balance.

Remembering the experience of accidentally bumping into a classmate last time and being falsely accused of trying to scam them, Ruan Ye ignored the intense pain in her knee, hurriedly climbed up from the ground, and bowed apologetically, incoherently: “I’m really very sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose, really, I wasn’t trying to scam you, I…”

Yuan Menglu, who was pushing the wheelchair, stopped in her tracks, startled by the apology, and looked confused.

The hands of the person sitting in the wheelchair trembled slightly, and the hot tears in her eyes were about to pour out.

Zhi Qiu leaned over, gently stroked the girl’s soft hair, and said softly, “Look up.”

The girl whose knee was scraped blanked out and subconsciously chose to obey the clear, gentle voice. Hot tears streamed down her soft cheeks and over her long neck.

In a daze, Ruan Ye saw the owner of the pale, slender hand gently wipe away her tears.

“Ruan Ye, you never need to say sorry to me.”

This was the first time the two of them formally met.

Ruan Ye knew who this person was.

A female Alpha with an extremely bad reputation at Norrington.

Thinking of what the other person had done at school, Ruan Ye did not speak, silently avoided the hand that tried to help her up, turned around, and walked away quickly.

She couldn’t trust anyone now.

She just wanted to avoid causing new trouble.

“Hey, what kind of manners is that?!” Yuan Menglu’s eyebrows were almost twisted together.

She wanted to call the girl back to apologize.

Zhi Qiu stopped her, holding back the urge to chase after the girl, and lowered her slightly disappointed eyes: “Don’t add unnecessary trouble. We are here today to talk to the teacher about returning to school.”

It was the same office as just now, but the attitudes were at two extremes.

Qian Yan, who had just been speaking rudely to Ruan Ye, was now all smiles, treating the two people who came to process the readmission as if they were her own daughters.

Knowing that Zhi Qiu was the heir of the Zhi family, Qian Yan was a little nervous. She sat on the edge of her chair: “This sudden illness came unexpectedly. The leave of absence was already properly arranged by President Zhi’s side. Zhi Qiu, you can rest for a few more days, there’s no need to rush back to school.”

Zhi Qiu only knew the main plot and was completely unaware of the thoughts of the minor characters.

She smiled kindly: “I’m graduating soon, and I want to put more focus on my studies. Going directly back to the original honors class is not entirely fair to others who passed the tests. I came to see you hoping to transfer to the class you teach, so that my physical condition can be looked after by someone familiar.”

This sudden stroke of luck made her instantly beam with joy. She quickly took out her stamp and stamped Zhi Qiu’s application to transfer classes, afraid that the lucrative opportunity would fall into someone else’s hands.

“Not at all, no trouble, no trouble!”

After saying goodbye to Qian Yan, Yuan Menglu pushed the wheelchair in a huff.

“What are you fussing about?” Zhi Qiu rubbed her ears.

She remembered Qian Yan as a good teacher who cared for her students and was responsible.

When no class was willing to take Ruan Ye, it was also she who took Ruan Ye into her class.

“How dare she claim to be a family member of yours? Look at her character. Do you remember the evaluation last semester?”

“The one who should have been promoted was another teacher, but because Qian Yan accepted a special enrollment student, the principal insisted on giving her this year’s spot. Those hard-working teachers put in so much effort, but they got nothing because of her. Hypocritical, disgusting!”

Zhi Qiu was greatly surprised.

In her previous life, she had thought about many things, but most of them were related to the main plot, and she had never paid attention to the loves and hates of the minor characters in this world.

She had invested too much in the path of trying to complete the plot, leading her to make one mistake after another.

At this thought, Zhi Qiu’s expression suddenly became serious.

If Qian Yan took in Ruan Ye for that reason, then she would have to re-plan many things.
