Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha of a Cold Movie Queen - Chapter 67.2

Gu Lulu ran a game design company focused on otome mobile games. She’d never dealt with celebrities before, but borrowing that identity just to get in touch wouldn’t be a problem—if Gu Qing really was a member of the Gu family, she could explain later. If not, she will figure out a way to make up for it.

She personally wrote up a business collaboration proposal and sent it to Gu Qing’s agent.

It was instantly rejected.

The response stated that Gu Qing was currently in poor health and extremely busy—she had no time at all.

Alright. That was the last straw. Gu Lulu was starting to break.

She hadn’t expected things to be this complicated.

In her mind, she was supposed to find Gu Qing, they will head straight to get a DNA test, and everything would be settled in a day.

But now it had been three days—and she hadn’t even caught a glimpse of her!

Ah, if only they were back in S Country. The Gu family didn’t have much influence here.

Then came the turning point.

Just as Gu Lulu was about to give up and was consoling herself with dessert at a café, she saw Qi Siyu walk in—along with Gu Qing’s agent and an unfamiliar person.

Since Qi Siyu was close to Gu Qing, finding her meant getting one step closer to Gu Qing.

Gu Lulu didn’t rush over immediately. She hung back and observed, waiting for her moment. When she saw Qi Siyu get up and head to the restroom, she followed.

The moment she’d entered the café, Qi Siyu had sensed someone watching her.

She glanced around subtly and spotted a stranger staring at her like a hungry wolf.

After her previous encounter with Sun Yingying, Qi Siyu had realized—she was quite the hot commodity now.

Faced with someone clearly eyeing her, Qi Siyu decided to become a merciless autumn wind—sweeping away these fallen leaves.

So, she stood up and made her way to the restroom.

As expected, the stalker followed.

Qi Siyu moved fast, and after rounding a corner, Gu Lulu realized she’d lost sight of her.

As a Beta, she couldn’t just walk into an Alpha’s restroom, so she paced around the entrance, then decided to crouch and wait in a nearby corner.

That’s when she spotted Qi Siyu, standing cold-faced behind a large potted plant.

“Whoa! You scared me!” Gu Lulu clutched her chest, trying to calm herself. “What are you doing here?”

“Who are you? Why are you following me?” Qi Siyu imitated Gu Qing’s frosty demeanor—face cold, voice colder, her words sharp as frost.

Gu Lulu sucked in a sharp breath—oh no, she was being mistaken for a creep!

“I’m Gu Lulu,” she quickly explained. “I was hoping to find Gu Qing through you.” She hurriedly pulled a photo from her bag. “Look, this is my fourth uncle. He looks a lot like Gu Qing. I recently found out about her online, and I suspect she might be his daughter.”

The moment Qi Siyu heard the name Gu Lulu, a flash of recognition hit—this was a key character from the original novel. When she heard what Gu Lulu said next, her heart surged with excitement.

She’d searched high and low for this moment, and now, just like that, it had come to her!

Just two days ago, she had drawn a hacker card from the system’s prize pool and gotten access to a certain contact. She’d even sent an email—but no reply ever came.

She’d been debating whether to use the system again to dig up Gu Qing’s biological parents’ private information… and now Gu Lulu had shown up on her own.

Yes!

Still, even as excitement bubbled inside her, Qi Siyu kept a straight face. She couldn’t let anyone know she was already aware of Gu Qing’s family situation.

She followed the direction of Gu Lulu’s finger and saw a man in the photo—taller and broader than Gu Qing, but with a similarly gentle, stylish air.

“They do look alike,” Qi Siyu said cautiously, “but lots of people resemble each other without being related.”

“Exactly why I came here!” Gu Lulu was getting excited, her long wait finally bearing fruit. “I want to run a DNA test with Gu Qing. If we’re related, she’s definitely my fourth uncle and aunt’s daughter.”

“If you’re worried about disappointing her, you could just take a strand of her hair in secret and we could do it without her knowing,” she added in a low voice.

“No,” Qi Siyu replied firmly. “Gu Qing has the right to know. Besides, the result will be positive anyway—there’s no reason to keep it from her. But she already left for Xuanle Temple this afternoon. Do you want to come with me, or wait until she returns?”

“I’ll go with you.” Gu Lulu didn’t hesitate—she couldn’t wait to meet Gu Qing in person. Photos could be deceiving. Seeing someone up close was better.

When Qi Siyu brought Gu Lulu back, the agent had just finished meeting with Gao Zhonghai.

They said their goodbyes, and Qi Siyu called a car to head straight to Xuanle Temple.

“Aren’t you some CEO?” Gu Lulu asked curiously. “You don’t drive yourself, and you don’t even have a car service?”

“The car went with Gu Qing.” Even in the back seat, Qi Siyu fastened her seatbelt.

“Oh, I see. What are you all doing at Xuanle Temple?” Gu Lulu was bubbling with curiosity—she wanted to know everything about Gu Qing.

Maybe it was because she genuinely wanted to help her fourth uncle and aunt, but deep down, she had a strong feeling that Gu Qing was their daughter.

“We’re there to get rid of bad luck,” Qi Siyu said coolly.

Uh… Gu Lulu thought back—Gu Qing really did seem to have bad luck. She murmured, “Heaven’s jealous of the talented, I guess.”

“Peh peh peh! Take that back right now!” Qi Siyu shot back, her words fast and forceful. “How could you say that about Gu Qing? She’s going to live a long and healthy life!”

“Peh peh peh—” Gu Lulu obediently followed along, though confused. “Sorry, is that phrase a bad thing? My Mandarin’s only good enough for daily conversation—I’m not great with idioms.”

“It’s usually used when someone dies young,” Qi Siyu explained. “If you’re unsure, better not use it. Phrases like that can cause misunderstandings.”

“Got it, sorry again.” Gu Lulu fell silent for a moment.

But she couldn’t help herself. A few moments later, she asked, “So how’s she doing lately? Is she still stuck doing that awful reality show?”

…

Qi Siyu leaned her elbow against the window frame, resting her chin on her hand, listening to Gu Lulu go on and on.

She must’ve asked questions nonstop for five minutes. When she finally paused, Qi Siyu tilted her head and said, “I’ve already forgotten your first question. We’ll be there soon—why not ask Gu Qing yourself?”

“Ah—” Gu Lulu scratched her head, embarrassed. “Sorry, I’m just a little excited. No, extremely excited. I’m not usually this talkative.”

“Mm.” Qi Siyu was just as excited inside—but she worked hard to keep it in check.

At the temple, they asked around and found out that Gu Qing and Gu Xiaoling were listening to a Dharma talk.

Well then, they’d just have to wait.

As the minutes dragged on, Gu Lulu calmed down. The most urgent thing now was the DNA test. Everything else could wait until after the results.

“It’s getting late. Should we stay the night and head to the hospital in the morning?” she suggested, concerned about Gu Qing’s health. “No point tiring her out with two trips in one day.”

Qi Siyu looked at her strangely. Nothing was confirmed yet, and this woman was already overflowing with familial concern for Gu Qing.

Was she a transmigrator too? Or did she have a system?

Qi Siyu subtly tested the waters—but nope, this woman was just an ordinary native.

Maybe Gu Qing was just that lovable, she thought happily to herself.

Back in the hall, Gu Qing gently tapped the sleeping Xiaoling, who was slumped with her face resting on her hand. “Wipe your drool.”

“Huh?” Gu Xiaoling blushed furiously and rubbed the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. “Sis, that Taoist sounds exactly like my old homeroom teacher—put me right to sleep.”

“Get enough rest?” Gu Qing handed her a packaged wet wipe.

“Sort of,” Xiaoling said, stretching her neck with a wince. “The posture wasn’t great. Think I have a crick in my neck.”

Eager to change the subject, she said, “Hey, are you hungry? Let’s grab dinner. I heard the vegetarian meals here are really good.”

No sooner had she spoken than her stomach let out a loud growl.

Sleep, eat, sleep again—Xiaoling was mortified.

Gu Qing, ever considerate, pretended not to hear. “Let’s go. Qi Siyu should be here by now.”

“Oh right, I almost forgot about her.” Xiaoling thought to herself, Sis really keeps Qi Siyu in mind.

Once outside, Gu Qing retrieved her phone and opened WeChat. Sure enough, there was an unread message from Qi Siyu: she was already waiting in the dining hall.

“Tch, all she knows is eating,” Xiaoling muttered instinctively.

A flicker of warmth rose in Gu Qing’s eyes. Xiaoling realized what she’d said and, flustered, rushed behind Gu Qing to push her wheelchair. “Let’s go, let’s not keep our CEO waiting.”

The dining hall, meant for visiting guests, was already filled with people.

Even so, Gu Qing spotted Qi Siyu immediately. She seemed to glow—drawing attention effortlessly.

As they approached, Xiaoling slowed down, eyeing the woman sitting across from Qi Siyu.

She was pretty, but looked a bit older. Could this be Qi Siyu’s aunt? But why wasn’t she in Taoist robes?

Qi Siyu noticed Gu Qing first. The moment their eyes met, she instinctively stood and walked over.

Gu Lulu was a bit slower to react—but the instant she saw Gu Qing, she moved even faster than Qi Siyu.

So alike. Too alike.

Her face was almost a copy of her uncle’s when he was young, and her eyes were exactly like her aunt’s—especially that cold expression, identical to how her aunt treated outsiders.

“Hello! I’m Gu Lulu!” she said, bowing slightly and reaching out.

Gu?

Gu Qing glanced up at the woman. Her overall aura screamed wealth and privilege—definitely not related to the Gu family she knew.

“Hello. I’m Gu Qing,” she said, politely extending her hand for a light shake, though she didn’t quite understand the woman’s enthusiasm.

“Let’s move to a private room,” Qi Siyu said, nudging Xiaoling out of the way and stepping in behind Gu Qing. She leaned down to whisper in her ear, “She says you look just like her uncle.”

“Mm.” Gu Qing replied calmly, completely unfazed by the information.

The four of them relocated to a private dining room.

Once inside, Gu Lulu took out the photo again, holding it up for Gu Qing to see with restrained excitement. “See? Don’t you think you look alike?”

Just a resemblance, Gu Qing told herself. “Yes, we do look similar.”

“My uncle and aunt had a daughter your age. But she was kidnapped by a nanny when she was little. When the nanny was found, she claimed the child was already dead. The police accepted her confession, and after years of fruitless searching, my uncle and aunt eventually turned to philanthropy…”

She went on and on, clearly trying to let Gu Qing know that her uncle and aunt had truly loved their lost child.

“You want a DNA test?” Gu Qing asked calmly. She’d already guessed as much.

“Yes! Would tomorrow at the hospital work for you?” Gu Lulu’s face flushed with excitement. After meeting Gu Qing in person, she was now even more convinced they were related.

Gu Qing nodded lightly. “Alright.”
