Transmigrated Into a Scumbag Alpha In a Melodramatic Novel and Been Targeted by My Love Rival - Chapter 11
Over the years, “Shen Ruofei” had devoted considerable effort to matters concerning Fang Yu.
Assisting a researcher in navigating connections wasn’t difficult; the Shen Family possessed such influence.
Originally, Shen Hong had assumed “Shen Ruofei” was fond of Fang Yu and even suggested she bring her home sooner, but “Shen Ruofei” had refused.
She remained as carefree as ever, casually embracing Omegas on both arms, showing no intention of settling down.
When Shen Ruofei suddenly brought up the matter, Shen Hong pondered for a moment before asking, “So it’s just about helping resolve Miss Fang’s parents’ situation?”
“What else? You still think I should marry her? She’s now a scientific luminary, and we’ve long since diverged onto parallel paths.”
Shen Hong’s smile carried a hint of regret and nostalgia. “If you truly wanted to, no Omega would ever refuse you.”
Shen Ruofei hadn’t brought this up casually; Fang Yu’s 26th birthday was approaching in a few days.
Her adoptive parents were organizing a birthday banquet, clearly hoping to use the occasion to secure a profitable marriage for their daughter.
Over the years, Fang Yu had reluctantly done many things to appease her adoptive parents, all to avoid disruptions to her scientific research.
But ever since that heart-to-heart over hotpot with Shen Ruofei, Fang Yu seemed to have gained newfound courage.
She finally began to assert herself, clearly telling the Alpha suitors that she would no longer accept gifts or go out to dinner with them.
The Alphas in the group Shen Ruofei had created were all asking her what to do next.
“Just do what you have to do! She said no, but are you just going to give up?”
Only by persisting could they force the heroine to clearly reject them, sparing them the trouble of scheming to bring her together with her official partner.
Ning Shuchen, young and a journalist, was naturally drawn to gossip. In the group chat, she asked Shen Ruofei if it was true that after her car accident, she had developed feelings for an Alpha.
Shen Ruofei seemed annoyed by the question. “Even if I liked an Alpha, it wouldn’t change the fact that they’d never like you. Why worry about that? Just focus on chasing Xiao Yu. What difference does it make who I like?”
“Sister, you’re so fierce!” Ning Shuchen replied. “Will any Alpha ever like you if you keep acting like that?”
“You’d better figure out how to make Xiao Yu like you first. The teacher assigned the homework, and even if you try to solve the problems, you’ll only get a score in the thirties.”
“…”
Having been thoroughly shut down by Shen Ruofei, Ning Shuchen fell silent, too intimidated to speak further.
Lu Nanzhen, however, privately messaged Shen Ruofei to ask if she would attend Fang Yu’s birthday party.
Recently, Lu Nanzhen had noticed Fang Yu growing slightly distant, even harboring a barely perceptible hint of annoyance. Had she not been so perceptive, she might have continued showering her with affectionate gestures, oblivious to the cooling of their relationship.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu’s adoptive parents had repeatedly hinted to Lu Nanzhen that if she didn’t take the initiative to marry Fang Yu soon, they would have no choice but to let Fang Yu interact with other Alphas.
Ever since bringing their biological daughter home, Fang Yu’s adoptive parents had grown increasingly harsh towards her. It was as if they were determined to recoup all the costs of raising her over the years by any means necessary. They relentlessly pushed Fang Yu to meet wealthy and influential Alphas, all in the desperate hope of marrying her off.
Originally, they had hoped Fang Yu could capture Shen Ruofei’s heart. After all, forging a connection with the Shen family would secure the Fang family’s future with endless wealth and glory.
However, Fang Yu didn’t want her relationship with Shen Ruofei to be reduced to cold, calculated self-interest, so she never mentioned this to Shen Ruofei.
Seeing Fang Yu’s incompetence, her adoptive parents could only resort to other methods to find her a suitable marriage.
Lu Nanzhen’s family was a renowned scholarly lineage, and their recent investments had flourished. The adoptive parents had done their utmost in securing a match with the Lu family for Fang Yu.
But Fang Yu and Lu Nanzhen simply couldn’t connect. As Shen Ruofei had said, they were on entirely different paths.
Shen Ruofei revealed not a single hint of her plans to resolve Fang Yu’s situation with her adoptive parents to Lu Nanzhen. After all, entrusting such a self-promoting task to Lu Nanzhen would be a complete waste.
Not long ago, news of the Alphas visiting Shen Ruofei inevitably reached Fu Ling’s ears.
Fu Ling’s shrewdness matched the Alphas’. She not only had her people monitor Fang Yu’s movements but also kept a close watch on the group of Alphas who frequently surrounded her.
As these Alphas flocked to Shen Ruofei’s home, rumors spread throughout Baijin City that Shen Ruofei favored Alphas. Fang Yu even locked away her cherished water bottle and keychain, which she had used for years, carefully preserving them before replacing them with new ones.
All these changes were because of Shen Ruofei.
When Fu Ling arrived at the Shen family residence, a torrential downpour was raging outside.
The living room of the Shen family’s main residence had undergone a complete transformation under Shen Ruofei’s instructions. The overall decor had become far more refined, shedding its previous tacky, nouveau riche vibe.
Shen Ruofei sat languidly on the newly reupholstered sofa, sipping her tea. Noticing her relaxed, almost indolent demeanor, Fu Ling took a seat beside her. “I’ve heard that Qin Rong, Ning Shuchen, Lu Nanzhen, and Xia Wu have been visiting you frequently, Miss Shen. When did you become so close to them? They’ve been scheming to get close to Xiao Yu ever since they left your house. Could you enlighten me as to why?”
“Director Fu is so clever. Why don’t you guess?”
“Based on my observations, Miss Shen, you’re helping them pursue Xiao Yu, aren’t you? It’s just the methods you’re using are…”
Fu Ling trailed off. Shen Ruofei set down her teacup with an unconcerned smile. “If I didn’t do this, Director Fu, where would you get your chance? Besides… Miss Tina, having been by Xiao Yu’s side for so many years, you’re still managing to keep so many Alphas circling her. Tsk tsk.”
How could someone destined to be the heroine’s official couple be anything but extraordinary?
In melodramatic novels, the Official Couple must possess all the talents and abilities to be worthy of the heroine.
Fu Ling, raised abroad, possessed strikingly handsome features with a faint blue tint to her eyes upon closer inspection. As the youngest princess of the current Nation Q royal family, she had been interested in scientific research since childhood and shared a deep, childhood bond with the heroine, fitting the trope of “childhood sweethearts.”
However, due to her parents’ busy work schedules and the resentment and hatred from many who envied them, the heroine was kidnapped from Nation Q and sold to an unknown destination. For years, no leads had surfaced.
Undeterred, Fu Ling returned to her home country, established the Yusong Research Institute, and took up the position of Director, determined to uncover any trace of the heroine through her own efforts.
Yet fate had other plans for the heroine and her Official Couple. Even after years of separation, the author would invariably engineer a serendipitous reunion through a series of coincidences.
Perhaps Shen Ruofei’s expression was too dismissive. Fu Ling was rendered speechless. Taking a deep breath and gritting her teeth, she said, “The rumors were true. The Shen Family’s influence is formidable.”
Even the traces she had painstakingly erased years ago had been unearthed by the Shen Family, and they had somehow made Shen Ruofei aware of her foreign name.
“If I didn’t know this, how could I possibly agree to Director Fu’s request today?”
“……”
All the mental preparation Fu Ling had meticulously crafted proved useless. The Family Head of the Shen family might appear absurd and reckless on the surface, but her deep and cunning nature was not to be underestimated.
So, what exactly had Fu Ling been so busy with after being discharged from the hospital?
Fu Ling studied Shen Ruofei, silently assessing her.
Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared as a torrential rainstorm raged. Dark clouds obscured the sky, turning day into night.
Shen Ruofei glanced out the window, propping her chin on her hand. She remained silent, waiting for Fu Ling to speak first.
Having already read the entire original plot, Shen Ruofei was naturally calm and composed.
After all, Fu Ling was the Official Couple. Many years ago, she had come to China at the behest of Fang Yu’s biological parents. Upon learning of Fang Yu’s circumstances, she didn’t act rashly but instead meticulously plotted, determined to secure a place in Fang Yu’s heart before anyone else.
However, Fang Yu was strikingly beautiful and a sweet, soft Omega with countless honors to her name. It was only natural for Alphas to flock around her.
Thus, Fu Ling could only proceed slowly, hoping that her patience and constant presence would eventually win Fang Yu’s heart.
However, Shen Ruofei’s decision to gather all her rival suitors to gang up on Fang Yu forced Fu Ling to prematurely reveal Fang Yu’s biological parents. Her goal was to drive away the Alphas surrounding Fang Yu and claim her for herself.
To make this plan work, Fu Ling still needed Shen Ruofei’s cooperation.
Shen Ruofei knew that Fu Ling’s family wasn’t based in the country, while Fang Yu’s biological parents were renowned researchers abroad, having made significant contributions to humanity in recent years.
Fu Ling couldn’t legitimately expose these details on her own, but Shen Ruofei, who wielded considerable influence in the north, clearly had the weight to do so.
Thus, Fu Ling had no choice but to seek Shen Ruofei’s help, and Shen Ruofei would undoubtedly extract what she wanted from Fu Ling in return.
That day, Fu Ling stayed at the Shen family residence until evening.
When Shen Hong returned home, she ran into Fu Ling.
Entering the living room, she saw Shen Ruofei stretching lazily and asked tentatively, “Changed your taste again recently?”
Shen Ruofei sighed softly. “Aunt Hong, I’ll host a silver party when I’m in the mood. There’s no need to rush.”
Shen Hong: “……”
She pretended not to have heard.
Shen Ruofei instructed Shen Hong to prepare a gift for Fang Yu, and Shen Hong brought it over for her approval.
She opened the massive gift box to reveal a laptop, several thick files, and at the center, a set of jewels worth tens of millions.
Once Fang Yu acknowledged her biological parents, such gifts would be easily within her reach.
But anything Shen Ruofei gave her, Fang Yu would treasure and be willing to look at twice.
Shen Ruofei closed the lid. “The hotel arrangements are all set,” Shen Hong assured her. “Don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong.”
“I trust you completely. Any progress on the car accident case? You seem much calmer lately, Aunt Hong.”
“We haven’t identified the person yet, but the company that owns the driver’s vehicle is run by Shen Zhizhi’s uncle.”
“Then I’ll leave it in your capable hands, Aunt Hong.”
“Rest assured, Family Head.”
On the day of the birthday party, Shen Ruofei wore a slightly provocative purple suit with a deep V-cut that plunged to her chest. Her long hair was styled in a sleek, swan-like updo, exuding arrogance and beauty, yet also a hint of haughtiness.
She entered the banquet hall surrounded by a group of bodyguards, her presence commanding attention.
Standing beside her adoptive parents, Fang Yu’s eyes lit up when she saw Shen Ruofei. She quickly curtsied and rushed over to greet her.
One of Shen Ruofei’s bodyguards presented a gift, and Shen Ruofei smiled, wishing Fang Yu a happy birthday.
“Junior Sister, happy birthday.”
