Transmigrated Into a Scumbag Alpha In a Melodramatic Novel and Been Targeted by My Love Rival - Chapter 13

Wang Yue’s smile froze on her face. “Miss Shen, you must be joking,” she said bitterly. “We’ve raised Xiao Yu for all these years. How can you just sever such a bond of familial affection?”

Fu Ling, who had been observing from the back for some time, stepped forward to stand in front of Fang Yu. “I’m afraid the Fang family never truly considered Xiao Yu their own child, did they? Even if the bond is severed, they wouldn’t feel much pain.”

Fang Yu stood frozen in place, bewildered by the situation.

Shen Ruofei subtly shifted to the side, as if yielding the “stage” to Fu Ling, eager to see what she would say next.

Xia Wu remained rooted to her spot, her gaze like eternal ice, fixed solely on Shen Ruofei’s back, unshakable in its intensity.

Fu Ling raised her hand to stop the orchestra playing in the background. A staff member hurried over with a microphone, clearly prepared for this moment.

“Twenty-two years ago, the Fang family reunited with their daughter, who had been missing for four years. This daughter had always been withdrawn and reclusive, disliking social interaction, which had caused the Fang family great anxiety. They hired numerous tutors and psychologists to care for her, clearly showing their genuine concern for her well-being. However, after starting middle school, she displayed extraordinary scientific talent. The Fang family, unwilling to let her participate in competitions, obstructed her progress by withholding her allowance and even having an Alpha sexually harass her, all to force her submission. What truly devoted parents they are!”

Fang Hongkang’s face paled and flushed repeatedly as he stood frozen in place. Wang Yue, growing impatient, made a move to snatch the microphone from Fu Ling’s hand.

But how could a Beta like Wang Yue possibly wrestle something away from an Alpha? Her desperate gesture only served to confirm the truth of Fu Ling’s words.

“Fang Yu worked tirelessly, relying solely on her intelligence and hard work, to gain admission to one of the top universities in Baijin City. Yet the Fang family nearly disowned her for choosing to study biology instead of following their wishes and pursuing a degree in tea art. It was around this time that you finally found your biological daughter, paid her adoptive parents a substantial sum, and brought her home. From then on, the Fang family has been scheming to marry Fang Yu off to pave the way for Fang Li, isn’t that right? But who could have predicted that Fang Yu would soar in her scientific career, achieving countless breakthroughs and gaining fame that far surpassed the Fang family’s? Now you’re unwilling to let her go—what a shrewd calculation!”

Fu Ling’s words sent the crowd into murmured discussion. Fang Yu, drained of energy, sagged. Shen Ruofei, quick and alert, stepped forward and caught her.

Fang Yu leaned against Shen Ruofei, her voice trembling. “Senior, why is she saying all this?”

Shen Ruofei gently patted Fang Yu’s back. “This might be Miss Fu’s birthday gift to you.”

Beside Fang Yu, Qin Rong, Lu Nanzhen, and Ning Shuchen wore expressions that clearly asked, “What is Fu Ling doing?” They were clearly struggling to keep up with the rapidly unfolding drama.

“Miss Fu, I don’t know where you got this information, but I must correct you on one point,” Shen Ruofei said with a scornful laugh after comforting Fang Yu. She looked at the flustered Wang Yue and the guilt-ridden Fang Hongkang. “The Fang family never searched for their daughter. From the very beginning, Fang Yu was bought to be their fake daughter!”

Everything before had been merely an appetizer. Shen Ruofei’s revelation was the main course.

The guests erupted in an uproar.

Human trafficking was a grave crime in the country, as it was invariably linked to gland transactions.

If this could be proven, the Fang family members would likely face imminent imprisonment.

Wang Yue still managed to maintain some composure, though she had completely abandoned the refined demeanor of a wealthy lady. She pointed at Fu Ling, spitting out curses, “Miss Fu! I know you like our Xiao Yu, but this… this slander? What’s in it for you if Xiao Yu’s maternal family falls?”

Fu Ling turned her gaze on Wang Yue.

If looks could kill, Wang Yue would have died a thousand deaths.

At that moment, Fang Hongkang remained frozen in place, trembling as he futilely tried to pretend he was invisible. But Fu Ling suddenly called out his name: “Fang Hongkang, you knew this day would come the moment you took Fang Yu from the Chen Family of Nation Q twenty-two years ago, didn’t you? This has been a meticulously planned conspiracy from the beginning. Fang Yu defied the Chen Family’s expectations by becoming a useless waste; instead, she achieved her current success through her own efforts. You wanted to turn traitor, claiming Fang Yu for yourself to bring benefits to the Fang Family—a classic case of dogs fighting over scraps.”

No one in the room understood the meaning behind Fu Ling’s words. Qin Rong was the first to react: “The Chen Family of Nation Q? That scientific dynasty? They were investigated and shut down for conducting illegal gland research, and the entire family ended up in prison.”

“Exactly. The Fang Family only dared act so recklessly because they knew their former partners, the Chen Family, could never trouble them again.”

Fang Yu finally understood.

Over the years, under Wang Yue’s influence, she had suppressed the urge to search for her biological parents. She believed that, after so many years, searching would only burden others.

She was an “abandoned” orphan—how could anyone be willing to claim a child they had once willingly discarded?

Fang Yu had devoted her entire life to scientific research.

But who could have imagined that today’s birthday party would so brutally tear apart those false lies, revealing the truth that had been hidden for years?

Fang Yu broke free from Shen Ruofei’s embrace and rushed to Fu Ling, gripping her hands. “So you know who my birth parents are, right?”

“Your birth parents are citizens of the world, currently serving as directors at the Zenith Research Institute in Nation Q. They’ve been searching for you for many years, Xiao Yu. Would you like to return to Nation Q with me?”

“Return to Nation Q with you?” Ning Shuchen sharply sensed something amiss and instinctively grabbed Fang Yu’s wrist. “Who do you think you are? Why would Xiao Yu go to your so-called Nation Q with you?!”

Fu Ling set down the phone in her hand and raised an eyebrow arrogantly at Ning Shuchen. “Because I am royalty from Nation Q, and I have a marriage pact with Xiao Yu, arranged by our elders since childhood. I came to this country specifically to find Xiao Yu and marry her. What’s your problem?!”

Lu Nanzhen’s expression turned icy. “Fu Ling, don’t half-explain yourself. If you can’t clean up this mess today, Xiao Yu will be caught in the middle, and it will be very difficult for her.”

“Well, you and Xiao Yu aren’t getting married anyway, Lu Nanzhen. Give up already.” Fu Ling seemed convinced of her victory, her arrogance showing through.

Seeing the Official Couple about to become the common enemy of the group, Shen Ruofei stepped forward to defuse the situation. “This isn’t the time for quarreling. Let’s resolve this quickly. Do you really think Xiao Yu is comfortable staying here?”

Fu Ling reined in her arrogance slightly. Fang Yu turned to Shen Ruofei, her eyes brimming with tears. “Senior, you knew all this too, didn’t you?”

Shen Ruofei leaned down and whispered in Fang Yu’s ear, “Don’t forget to look at the gift I gave you, Xiao Yu. I selfishly hope you find happiness soon. I’m sorry.”

Fang Yu’s gaze trembled, and she lowered her arms dejectedly.

Fu Ling picked up the phone again. “Since so many people are here today, I’d like you all to be witnesses. From this day forward, Fang Yu has no ties to the Fang family, and the Fang family’s affairs have nothing to do with her.”

Those who had befriended the Fang family solely because of Fang Yu likely wouldn’t associate with them again after witnessing this incident.

Fang Yu, it turned out, was the daughter of the Director of the Zenith Research Institute in Nation Q. This alone was enough to make her stand tall among her peers, free from any reservations.

Just as the guests buzzed with speculation, pointing and whispering about Fang Hongkang and Wang Yue, a group of police officers suddenly stormed into the banquet hall.

Holding arrest warrants aloft, their voices rang out across the hall: “Wang Yue, Fang Hongkang, the police suspect you of involvement in several cross-border human trafficking cases. You’ll have to come with us.”

The birthday banquet had turned into a farce. Fang Li stood frozen, unable to comprehend how things had spiraled so out of control.

Fang Yu and Fu Ling, among others, had already been taken to the police station. Xia Wu, who had been conspicuously absent throughout the evening, approached Shen Ruofei and explained that she’d lent her car to someone else. She asked Shen Ruofei to drive her away from this distressing place.

Shen Ruofei looked puzzled. “Why didn’t you go with Xiao Yu to the police station? This is a perfect opportunity.”

Xia Wu schooled her expression. “Xiao Yu is surrounded by Alphas right now. Even if I went, I wouldn’t get a chance to speak. Fu Ling has been preparing for this day for ages. What about you?”

“Me? Just doing a small favor. Let’s go. Are you heading to OmniTech?”

“I still have some work to finish.”

The Fang family had chosen a hotel in the suburbs for their banquet. Though lavishly decorated, it was a considerable distance from the city center.

After getting into the car, Shen Ruofei pressed a hand to her forehead, looking unwell. Xia Wu, sitting beside her, noticed her pained expression and asked if she was feeling okay, suggesting she might be carsick.

Shen Ruofei shook her head.

The climax of the story had been moved up significantly, bringing the heroine and her official partner closer together and deepening their bond.

Moments earlier, the System had popped up to inform Shen Ruofei that her mission progress had reached 80%, instantly cramming all the previously unknown plot developments into her mind.

Between the Shen family’s intricate schemes and the broader story’s twists, there was simply too much to process. Shen Ruofei felt utterly overwhelmed.

“Couldn’t you have told me the story bit by bit?” she complained. “This is making me feel sick.”

“Don’t worry. With your intelligence, sorting this out shouldn’t be difficult. Besides…”

The System suddenly fell silent.

Over the past few days, it had observed every move Shen Ruofei made.

Gathering the Alphas together, creating tension for the Official Couple, and accelerating the plot—all of this happened without the System needing to intervene.

Moreover, her ability to survive and thrive in the Shen family, where everyone was as cunning as a fox, proved she was far more capable than the System had imagined.

Was this still the college student who claimed to have no social experience whatsoever?

The captured soul’s compatibility with Shen Ruofei’s body was a perfect 100%, clearly no coincidence.

Xia Wu sat beside Shen Ruofei, about to massage her temples when the driver suddenly shouted, “Family Head! A van is accelerating to tailgate us! I’ve contacted Director Shen for backup—should arrive in ten minutes. I need to speed up now—please brace yourselves!”

After a moment of silence, Shen Ruofei looked up, her eyes dark and dangerous, a wild smile playing on her lips. “President Xia, this is the Shen Family. More of this will come in the future. Are you scared?”

The smile made Xia Wu distinctly uncomfortable.

Frowning, Xia Wu massaged Shen Ruofei’s temples, suppressing her irritation. “What’s the point in being scared? Even if the Shen Family sets its sights on me, how could I possibly escape?”

“Hmm, you’re right.” Shen Ruofei tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with smugness and excitement. “You can’t escape.”
