Transmigrated as the Disabled Alpha Wife of the Black Moonlight and She Said She Loves Me - Chapter 34.2
No wonder people say only good news should be shared.
She genuinely didn’t know how to tell this innocent girl the cruel truth.
“What is it, Miss Huo?” Doctor Jiang noticed her hesitation and asked, “Is something wrong?”
“No, not at all. I’m feeling perfectly fine. It seems you’re very good to your girlfriend. Have you both met each other’s parents?”
Doctor Jiang blushed and nodded. “We met earlier this year. We’re planning to get married soon.”
“Married?!” Huo Jianan was startled. “But didn’t you say you’d wait two more years?”
The doctor’s face glowed with sweet shyness. “We decided just yesterday. We want to start a family right after the wedding. Her father’s health has been declining, and his condition worsened suddenly yesterday. He desperately wants to see his granddaughter before he passes.”
Huo Jianan was even more shocked! If they really got married and had a child, it would be even harder to break up with that scumbag.
Suddenly, a figure rushed in. “No! You can’t get married! Don’t marry her!”
Wang Baobao had just thrown away the trash and returned to the door when he heard Doctor Jiang say she was getting married. He panicked immediately.
Doctor Jiang was startled, looking at Wang Baobao with confusion. “Miss Wang?”
A burning rage consumed Wang Baobao’s chest. The thought of Doctor Jiang marrying that scumbag made him furious. At that moment, he didn’t care about anything else.
“Your girlfriend is a scumbag! She’s a flirt and a party girl! How could you marry her?!”
Doctor Jiang stared in shock. “Wh-what are you saying?”
Wang Baobao pulled out his phone and flipped through the photos he’d secretly taken while stalking her. “Look, is this your girlfriend? See what she’s been doing these past few days?”
Doctor Jiang took the phone. When she saw the short brown-haired figure in the photos, her mind reeled, something inside her collapsing.
Huo Jianan saw the color drain completely from Doctor Jiang’s face, the fingertips scrolling through the photos trembling faintly.
Huo Jianan couldn’t bear to watch any longer. “Doctor Jiang, I’m sorry to have to tell you this. As outsiders, we shouldn’t interfere in your personal matters, but Baobao and I both feel you should know what kind of person your girlfriend is before you decide to marry her.”
Wang Baobao interjected, “Doctor Jiang, what are you thinking? She’s a scumbag! I saw her check into a hotel with that woman! Besides her, who knows how many others she’s been screwing around with? How could you possibly marry a slut like that?!”
“Hey! Who the hell are you?! What the fuck are you spouting here? Gossiping like a damn old woman!” Suddenly, a figure charged into the room, throwing a punch at Wang Baobao. Caught off guard, Wang Baobao turned just in time to receive a solid blow to the chest.
The newcomer was Doctor Jiang’s girlfriend: tall, with short, cold-brown hair and a small mole on the tip of her nose.
As they faced each other, the scumbag froze for a moment before grabbing Wang Baobao by the collar. “It’s you! I recognize you! You were stalking me in City D!”
“You bitch! Cheating on Doctor Jiang and then trying to silence anyone who speaks out! You fucking bitch! Big, fat bitch!”
The two Alphas clashed violently. Wang Baobao was shoved by the Scumbag, slamming hard into the table. The table toppled over and crashed into Huo Jianan’s wheelchair.
Huo Jianan let out a startled cry, unable to dodge in time, and tumbled from her wheelchair.
“Dada!” Wang Baobao panicked, abandoning the Scumbag and rushing to Huo Jianan’s side to help her up.
Seeing her fall, Doctor Jiang snapped out of his daze and hurried over to assist in lifting Huo Jianan.
“Miss Huo, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere? Let me examine you.”
Huo Jianan’s elbow throbbed, and her palm was scraped. She couldn’t tell if her legs were injured, but she suspected they were.
Huo Jianan wanted to cry, but no tears came. Why am I always the one getting hurt?
The Scumbag glared at Wang Baobao, spitting venomously, “You fat bitch! A toad like you dreaming of swan meat! Mind your own business! Stop meddling in my relationship and spreading slander!”
The moment she heard “fat bitch!”, Wang Baobao flew into a rage, lunging forward to punch her again.
Doctor Jiang, his face darkening, barked at the Scumbag’s girlfriend, “Get out! Out! This is a medical office, no shouting allowed!”
In front of her girlfriend, the scumbag put on another act. “Shumin, don’t be like this. Don’t listen to her—she’s just slandering me! I really went to meet a client, I didn’t fool around with anyone!”
“Get out! Out! Out! I don’t want to see you right now!” Doctor Jiang snapped.
The scumbag was pushed outside and blocked by the door, repeatedly explaining that she had gone on a business trip to accompany a client and absolutely hadn’t engaged in any inappropriate behavior. Doctor Jiang’s face remained cold. “If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police.”
Seeing Doctor Jiang’s resolute stance, the scumbag relented. “Fine, I’m leaving. Just calm down first.”
Back in the clinic, Doctor Jiang urgently performed a preliminary physical examination on Huo Jianan before sending her for a full-body check-up.
Outside the examination room, Wang Baobao stole a glance at Doctor Jiang, noticing she kept her head bowed, remaining silent and motionless.
She hadn’t spoken, hadn’t broken down in tears, hadn’t even cursed.
Wang Baobao glanced at her again, imagining how agonizing her pain must be. “Doctor Jiang, you can go back now. I’ll stay with Dada.”
Whether she heard or not, Jiang Shumin remained motionless, like a stone statue.
Wang Baobao watched silently, his heart heavy and his words caught in his throat. He sat quietly to the side.
After a long pause, Jiang Shumin suddenly asked, “Where did you see them checking into a hotel?”
Wang Baobao froze momentarily before answering, “At Lizhou Hotel. I happened to be staying there too.”
“How did you know she was seeing other women?”
“During lunch, she called someone and upset them. The scumbag said she’d spend the weekend focusing on just one person, and she was calling…” Wang Baobao trailed off.
“To me, wasn’t it?” Jiang Shumin chuckled bitterly, her head bowed. Her long hair draped over her ears, hiding her profile and obscuring her expression.
“So I was the last to know! All those women knew—every single one! I was the fool, the last to see the truth!”
Wang Baobao felt a dull ache in his chest, not sharp but suffocating, making it hard to breathe.
Now that Doctor Jiang knows her girlfriend’s true nature—how the veneer of deep affection and care concealed a complete scumbag—shouldn’t she feel relieved?
Wang Baobao couldn’t feel the slightest bit of cheer. He stared at his feet, then slowly raised his gaze. There, on his pant leg, was a muddy footprint—the mark left by that scumbag’s furious kick.
His leg felt swollen and burning. To avoid drawing attention from Huo Jianan and Doctor Jiang, he had been enduring the pain, walking as if nothing was wrong.
But how could it be nothing? The injury was simply hidden beneath his pants, unseen by others.
Though concealed, the pain was real—a pain only he knew.
The examination revealed that Huo Jianan was otherwise healthy, save for a swollen elbow and a scraped palm. Doctor Jiang treated her wounds.
The designer blouse’s elbow was now worn through, effectively ruined. Doctor Jiang offered to compensate, but Huo Jianan smiled easily, unconcerned. “No need.”
Wang Baobao insisted on paying. “I knocked over Dada. I should be the one to compensate.”
“That won’t do. It’s my responsibility. And I’ve even inconvenienced a patient. I’m truly sorry about that.”
Jiang Shumin was truly sorry. Not only had the commotion caused a minor stir in the hospital, but her patient had also been injured as a result. She absolutely couldn’t allow such a thing to happen in her professional career.
Huo Jianan made a decision. “Doctor Jiang, if you insist on apologizing, then please treat us to dinner. I’m starving, and that casual restaurant across from the hospital looks pretty good.”
Wang Baobao chimed in, “Yeah, yeah, I’ve been hungry for ages!”
The casual restaurant was much quieter at night than during the day. Soft music played in the background, and only two couples were dining. The trio settled into a corner booth.
Huo Jianan ordered a salad with grilled steak and a fresh juice, then called Housekeeper He at home. “Housekeeper He, I won’t be having dinner at home tonight. Baobao will drop me off later.”
They had barely sat down when Doctor Jiang’s phone started ringing incessantly. She ignored it three times, but on the fourth ring, she finally answered.
“Hello, Shumin, are you calm now? You finally answered my call! Let me explain…”
Doctor Jiang’s expression remained cold as she interrupted sharply, “What do you want to say? Save your explanations. The more lies you tell, the harder it is to cover them up. Don’t you know that?”
“No, no, Shumin, I love you! Yes, I slept with her, but that was just a physical need. I don’t love her at all—I only love you. We’re getting married soon, right?”
“Stop talking!” Jiang Shumin hung up the phone, clutching it tightly. Suddenly, she cursed, “Scumbag!”
Her eyes reddened, tears welling up stubbornly, refusing to fall.
Wang Baobao, pained by the sight, quickly pulled out two tissues and handed them to her.
“Thank you.” Jiang Shumin finally broke down, tears streaming down her face, soaking through the tissues as fast as she wiped them away.
Wang Baobao had no choice but to offer her the entire pack of tissues.
The drinks arrived, and Huo Jianan poured a full glass for each of them. “Doctor Jiang, feel free to drink.”
Jiang Shumin’s voice was thick with sobs, her nose and eyes red. “I don’t drink.”
“Is it because of your health?”
Jiang Shumin shook her head. “I don’t drink in public. It’s not safe for Omegas to get drunk.”
Huo Jianan hadn’t expected such frank honesty from the heartbroken doctor. She smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry. With us here, you’re perfectly safe. No one would dare take advantage of you while you’re drunk.”
She noticed Doctor Jiang glance at her, then at Wang Baobao, as if to ask, What about you two?
“I’m crippled, so I can’t move around easily. As for her, don’t be fooled by her tall stature—she’s as fragile as a soap bubble. One poke and she’ll collapse.”
Wang Baobao glared at Huo Jianan, grinding his teeth. “Who are you calling fragile?!”
Doctor Jiang nodded. “She is indeed quite fragile.”
Wang Baobao: “……”
Six bottles of wine on the table were empty. Huo Jianan had drunk the least, barely half a bottle, while the rest had been consumed by Jiang Shumin and Wang Baobao.
Jiang Shumin’s face was flushed crimson, her words slurred with intoxication. “My classmate told me her cousin had girlfriends before. At least four, as far as she knew. I asked her, ‘Have you had so many girlfriends that you can’t settle on just one?’ Do you know what she said? She said she was young and naive back then, watching others have fun and feeling like she’d be missing out if she didn’t join in. But now, she says she wants to find a proper wife, build a family, and have children.”
Tears flooded her eyes, breaking through the dam once more.
“I shouldn’t have believed her! I shouldn’t have believed her lies!” Tears clung to strands of hair fallen across her face. Jiang Shumin drained the crimson, dreamlike liquid in her glass in one gulp and collapsed onto the table. “I shouldn’t have believed her… I shouldn’t have…”
Wang Baobao, swaying from intoxication, slurred, “Right! Don’t trust her. She’s trash. You must never believe a word she says…”
While they spoke, Huo Jianan called Housekeeper He to send a car. “We’re at Restaurant D in front of the hospital. We’ve been drinking and are a bit tipsy. Wang Baobao is with us, along with Doctor Jiang.”
Before long, the car arrived. Xiaoman came to the restaurant to assist the young miss. Huo Jianan pointed to Wang Baobao, who was half-drunk and supporting the drunken Jiang Shumin. “Help Doctor Jiang into the car. Don’t let Miss Wang help.”
“Right away, Young Miss,” Xiaoman replied, gently but firmly shoving Wang Baobao aside.
“Dada, what are you doing? I want to help her!” Wang Baobao protested.
Huo Jianan smiled. “Don’t forget you’re an Alpha. Alphas and AO’s can’t be too close. I promised Doctor Jiang I’d ensure her safety.”
Wang Baobao: “……”
After obtaining Doctor Jiang’s address, Huo Jianan instructed the driver to take them to her residence first.
Xiaoman helped Doctor Jiang upstairs, but Wang Baobao, still worried, insisted on following them to see her inside. Unexpectedly, they ran into someone at the foot of the building.
Talk about running into the same scumbag again!
The scumbag was furious to see Wang Baobao returning Jiang Shumin home. “Who the hell are you? You fat cow! I knew you had bad intentions! You were stalking me, spreading lies, trying to steal my girlfriend! And now you’re returning her just to take advantage of the situation, right?”
Wang Baobao, having been called “fat cow” twice and accused of taking advantage, roared like the Raging Bull, “You fucking scum! Do you think everyone’s like you?! Your heart’s made of shit! You disgusting piece of trash!”
As expected, they quickly came to blows.
This time, Wang Baobao was at a disadvantage. The drunk scumbag was no match for her, and she was pinned to the ground, taking a beating.
Seeing this, Xiaoman helped Miss Jiang lean against the railing, then rolled up her sleeves and charged forward. She kicked the scumbag across the yard, then pulled Wang Baobao to his feet. “Miss Wang, are you alright?”
Wang Baobao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, still furious. “Xiaoman, beat her up!”
“Yes, Miss Wang!”
The scumbag who had dominated Wang Baobao moments before was now being pummeled by Xiaoman in a one-sided beatdown.
Inside the car, Huo Jianan was startled, her eyes wide with astonishment.
“Xiaoman… is she really that strong? She’s a Beta, right?”
The driver smiled. “Don’t forget, even though Xiaoman is a Beta, she’s the provincial kickboxing champion. She’s all muscle.”
Huo Jianan: “……”
The scumbag woman crawled to her feet and glared at Wang Baobao. “You fat bitch! Just you wait!” She shot a fearful glance at Xiaoman, afraid she might chase after her, and hastily drove off.
Doctor Jiang’s roommate came out to open the door. Xiaoman escorted her inside, helped her onto the bed, removed her coat and shoes, and gave a few instructions to her roommate before leaving.
Wang Baobao stood at the door, holding his swollen and bleeding lip. “She’s drunk. Please keep an eye on her tonight. Thank you. Here’s my number—call me if anything comes up.”
In the car, Huo Jianan looked at Wang Baobao, disheveled and battered, his lip split. “What now? Should I take you to the hospital?”
“No need. It’s just a scratch. I’ll put a bandage on it when we get home.” Wang Baobao curled up in the back seat. “I’m going to take a nap. Wake me when we arrive.”
“Okay, get some rest.”
Wang Baobao had barely dozed off when he suddenly sat up and turned to Xiaoman in the front passenger seat. “Xiaoman, you’re a martial artist. Do you think I’m fat?”
“Um…” Xiaoman glanced at Huo Jianan, waiting for her cue.
“Why are you looking at her? I’m asking you.”
Xiaoman lowered her head guiltily. “N-no… not fat…”
Wang Baobao pouted. “What are you so scared of? Come on, tell the truth. I’m not going to eat you, am I?” He turned to Huo Jianan with a serious expression. “Dada, tell me honestly, am I fat?”
Huo Jianan shook her head firmly. “No.”
Before Wang Baobao could celebrate, Huo Jianan delivered a crushing blow: “You’re not fat. You’re not even that old. At most, you’re just a ’roundy Alpha’.”
“A roundy Alpha?”
“It means you’re just… plump.”
It was 11:30 PM by the time Huo Jianan got home. Without even stopping to wash up, she immediately called her wife on video chat.
Ruan Nianning immediately noticed the scrape on her palm. “How did you get hurt? I thought your head injury had just healed. Now your hand is injured too?”
Huo Jianan hadn’t expected her sharp eyes. “It’s just a minor scrape. I wasn’t paying attention while walking and tripped, scraping my palm.”
“Where did you get it?”
Apart from Housekeeper He and Wang Baobao, no one else knew about her leg rehabilitation exercises. Huo Jianan had to say, “At the company. It’ll be better once I’m fully familiar with the office environment.”
For a disabled person, walking is far more challenging than for able-bodied individuals. A small step that others easily clear can be an insurmountable barrier for her.
At the company, she couldn’t move as freely or casually as she did at home, where such obstacles were second nature.
The words “You should stay home instead of going to the office” rose to Ruan Nianning’s lips, but she swallowed them back down.
If she didn’t go to the office, how could she intervene in the management of Huo Corporation? And how could Nianning use her to gradually dismantle this century-old tree, piece by piece?
“You need to be more careful in the future, okay?”
“Got it, Wife.” Huo Jianan was always pleased to receive his wife’s concern. It can’t be this unlucky, getting bumped into every day, can it?
“Wife, I have a shoot tomorrow, so you should get some rest. I’m going to take a shower and go to bed too.”
“Let Xiaoman accompany you.”
“I can wash myself. I’m used to it.”
Ruan Nianning’s expression hardened. “No. Even if you wash yourself, you can’t be alone. Let Xiaoman stay with you.”
Huo Jianan reluctantly agreed. “Okay, I understand.” I’ll just agree for now. I’ll wash alone later; she won’t know.
Ruan Nianning seemed to see right through her. “You refuse to let Xiaoman stay, knowing I’ll worry. You’re deliberately keeping me awake, aren’t you?”
“N-no, I’ll have Xiaoman come in right away.”
With that, she called Xiaoman in. “Xiaoman, help me tidy up and stay with me while I bathe.”
“Yes, Young Miss.”
Ruan Nianning stopped Xiaoman, her face stern like a strict mistress. “Xiaoman, you’re the Young Miss’s personal attendant. You only get paid as long as you ensure her safety, right?”
Xiaoman’s face tightened with anxiety. “Yes, Young Madam! Xiaoman will guarantee the Young Miss’s safety!”
“From now on, you’ll accompany the Young Miss into the bath every time to protect her. If you fail to stay with her the entire time even once, I’ll have Housekeeper He deduct two thousand from your salary every time.”
Hearing the threat of a two-thousand deduction, Xiaoman grew even more anxious. “Young Madam, I’ll definitely accompany the Young Miss into the bath every time, the whole time!”
“And if the Young Miss refuses to let you stay?”
“Xiaoman will stay anyway!” Xiaoman pounded his chest. “I only get paid if I ensure the Young Miss’s safety. Xiaoman understands. I’ll follow the Young Madam’s instructions.”
Ruan Nianning looked satisfied. “Take good care of the Young Miss, and you’ll get a generous bonus at the end of the year.”
Xiaoman’s heart swelled with joy. “Yes! Young Madam!”
That evening, no matter how Huo Jianan tried to get Xiaoman to leave, he refused. At most, he would retreat to the side, turning his back so he couldn’t see the Young Miss.
Huo Jianan was helpless. “Are you my assistant or the Young Madam’s?”
“Of course I’m the Young Miss’s assistant,” Xiaoman replied.
“If you’re my assistant, then who should you listen to?”
Xiaoman answered confidently, “The Young Madam, of course!”
******
Huo Jianan: I knew it—I’ll never measure up to my wife in our household.
Xiaoman: Young Miss, you might as well accept it.
