Transmigrated Into a Scumbag Alpha In a Melodramatic Novel and Been Targeted by My Love Rival - Chapter 15

Shen Ruofei crouched down in front of Fang Yu, patiently wiping the tears from her cheeks.

“You’re crying so pitifully. How can I bear to let you go?”

“Senior, I… I don’t know what to do anymore.”

The laptop was on a loop, playing a video Fu Ling had recently had Fang Yu’s biological parents record.

They assured Fang Yu that they would fully respect her wishes and decisions, whether she chose to remain in the country or join them in Nation Q.

Fang Hongkang and Wang Yue’s involvement in the human trafficking case was now undeniable. The evidence Fu Ling had submitted was sufficient to secure life sentences for both.

Fang Yu’s future had nothing to do with the Fang family now. Her troublesome adoptive parents were about to be imprisoned, and everyone in her social circle—both her acquaintances and the elite Baijin society—knew of her innocence and felt sympathy for her.

Under these circumstances, it would be perfectly natural for Fang Yu to travel to Nation Q to visit her biological parents. Yet she couldn’t overcome the mental barrier.

She was torn, longing, and afraid.

The documents Shen Ruofei gave Fang Yu included not only the DNA test results but also years of research papers from her biological parents, along with a one-way ticket to Nation Q.

Fang Yu had inherited her parents’ exceptional genes, and her talent for scientific research surpassed even theirs.

Those research papers were, in a sense, absolute state secrets, yet they were casually handed to Fang Yu. Her parents’ expectations and longing for her needed no further explanation.

And then there was Fu Ling, the youngest princess of Nation Q.

The two were betrothed from infancy by their parents. As Fu Ling grew older, she traveled thousands of miles from Nation Q to China, all to find Fang Yu.

Though never explicitly stated, Fang Yu could feel the depth of Fu Ling’s devotion and persistence.

But if she went abroad, when would she see her Senior again?

To be honest, Fang Yu still harbored lingering feelings for Shen Ruofei.

Knowing this, Shen Ruofei had come to find Fang Yu and share her thoughts.

Shen Ruofei helped Fang Yu to a stone bench, and they sat down. Fang Yu carefully stored away the gifts Shen Ruofei had given her.

“Xiao Yu,” Shen Ruofei began, “I’ve known how you feel about me for years now. No one has ever shown me such foolish affection, expecting nothing in return.”

“I know you like Alphas, Senior. You’ve always kept things from me.”

Fang Yu’s voice and expression were filled with hurt, leaving Shen Ruofei unsure how to comfort her.

If she acted too intimate, she feared Fang Yu would misunderstand and become even more attached. If she acted too distant, she worried Fang Yu would be deeply hurt.

How to strike the right balance was truly a dilemma.

Shen Ruofei stroked Fang Yu’s hair and consoled her, “I’ve lived in the Shen family since childhood, and I can’t even tell truth from falsehood anymore. It’s you who showed me that genuine affection still exists in this world. But Xiao Yu, there are some things I want to do, yet I simply can’t.”

Fang Yu stared blankly, her round eyes red and swollen. By the moonlight, she clearly saw the mixture of regret and helplessness on Shen Ruofei’s face.

“Is there really anything Senior can’t do in this world?”

In Fang Yu’s heart, Shen Ruofei was the perfect Alpha.

“Of course. Nothing in this world is perfect. Take you, for example. You’re incredibly gifted, yet you’ve endured so much suffering in your youth. I grew up in the Shen family, blessed with wealth and connections that everyone envies, yet I’m still bound by others’ expectations. I’m a flawed Alpha; I can’t mark an Omega. If we were together, you wouldn’t experience the joy and happiness an Omega deserves. No matter how deeply we loved each other at first, over time, we’d become bitter rivals. Do you understand?”

Fang Yu’s eyes widened in shock, which quickly turned to heartache and sorrow. “S-Senior, I’ll find a way to help you! I…”

“Oh, you. Just focus on yourself. I’m not planning to find an Omega anyway, so it’s not a big deal.”

Shen Ruofei’s smile was gentle and warm.

She had always been so kind to Fang Yu, nothing like the irritable, short-tempered person the rumors portrayed her as.

Because of this, Fang Yu had always felt special in Shen Ruofei’s eyes, indulging in countless daydreams and hopes.

But now Shen Ruofei had made her position crystal clear: she was an Alpha incapable of marking an Omega. Those absurd and reckless actions had merely been bait to lower Fang Yu’s guard.

Senior had done so much for her, even confiding this secret now.

Fang Yu felt she had betrayed all the careful nurturing and care Shen Ruofei had shown her.

“Senior, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about this. I… I know what I need to do.”

Biting her lip, Fang Yu embraced Shen Ruofei tightly, her eyes squeezed shut as she whispered through her tears, “I’ll listen to you, Senior. From now on, I’ll live for myself.”

Shen Ruofei smiled with genuine satisfaction. “Be good, dear. You’re destined for greatness in the future. Everyone will love you. There’s no need to dwell on the past. I’ll always be behind you, watching over you, protecting you, and blessing you.”

After seeing Fang Yu home, Shen Ruofei helped her pack her luggage and personally escorted her onto the Shen Family’s private jet.

All arrangements for Fang Yu’s trip to Nation Q had been meticulously planned. Upon arrival, she would be immediately met by representatives who would take her to meet her biological parents.

Watching the private jet disappear into the distance, Shen Ruofei finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Having finished her other business, Shen Hong, concerned about Shen Ruofei’s health, hurried to the airport to persuade her to go to the hospital for a check-up.

“Family Head, Fang Yu’s matter has been resolved. You can rest assured now.”

Shortly after Shen Ruofei first met Fang Yu, she returned to the Shen Family and asked Shen Hong for information about a Nation Q scientist she had recently seen. Fang Yu bore an uncanny resemblance to this scientist, who, along with his partner, was searching for their daughter who had gone missing many years ago. This coincidence sparked Shen Ruofei’s curiosity.

She secretly instructed Shen Hong to obtain the scientist’s DNA data and, while spending time with Fang Yu, discreetly plucked a few strands of hair from her shoulder.

This matter must remain confidential, Shen Ruofei instructed Shen Hong to be extremely cautious and keep it secret.

If the DNA comparison confirmed that Fang Yu was indeed the child of the scientist from Nation Q, Shen Ruofei, as the intermediary, stood to gain significant social connections and benefits.

Even if the comparison disproved the connection, there was nothing to lose for Shen Ruofei.

Although Fu Ling had obtained the DNA comparison report long ago, her own self-interest prevented her from revealing the truth to Nation Q.

This inadvertently gave Shen Ruofei the advantage.

Shen Ruofei protected Fang Yu not only because of the trust entrusted by her biological parents, but also because she genuinely couldn’t bring herself to harm the sweet Omega.

Fang Yu was remarkably mature and pitifully unlucky to have been born into the filthy Fang Family.

As time passed, the details of how Fang Yu came to be in the country were gradually uncovered. The envious scientific family who had targeted her parents was thoroughly dealt with, and with the Shen Family’s assistance, evidence of the Fang Family’s crimes was steadily gathered.

Shen Ruofei cleared the domestic obstacles for Fang Yu, while Fu Ling handled matters in Nation Q.

Now, Fang Yu could travel to Nation Q to claim her identity without any lingering concerns.

In other words, Shen Ruofei’s plans would only be considered complete once Fang Yu went to Nation Q.

Back then, Shen Hong had vaguely suspected that Shen Ruofei’s kindness towards Fang Yu might be related to her background, and she even asked her what her next steps were.

But Shen Ruofei revealed nothing, made no arrangements for Shen Hong to take any action, and instead became excessively kind to Fang Yu.

Initially, Shen Hong assumed Shen Ruofei had romantic intentions towards Fang Yu, and she occasionally dropped hints about it.

Shen Ruofei dismissed her concerns, simply instructing her never to mention anything about Fang Yu’s background to anyone.

It wasn’t until recently, when Shen Ruofei asked Shen Hong to contact Zhou Ling, who had been abroad for a long time, that Shen Hong realized Shen Ruofei had been ruthlessly using Fang Yu all along.

But now, seeing Shen Ruofei’s worried and caring demeanor…

Shen Hong truly couldn’t understand what Shen Ruofei’s intentions towards Fang Yu were.

“Let’s go back,” Shen Ruofei said, turning away and preparing to drive home for a nap.

It was already 1 AM, and although she hadn’t felt particularly sleepy after her afternoon nap, she needed a quiet place to think.

As Shen Hong followed behind, she asked, “Aren’t you going to the hospital?”

“My headache is gone.”

“Even so…”

Shen Hong clearly wanted to persuade her further, but Shen Ruofei turned to face her. “Aunt Hong, I had a dream. In it, I was a college student preparing for exams, an orphan with only a harsh grandmother to care for me. During the Qingming Festival, I slipped from the mountaintop and died.”

“Family Head, forget about such dreams. Don’t take them too seriously.”

“I’d rather have a psychologist than go to the hospital for a brain scan.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it.”

On the way home, Shen Hong couldn’t hide her deep concern.

Shen Ruofei’s condition clearly made her unsuited for further stress, but Shen Hong had already resigned, and Xia Wu was about to join the Shen family.

Whether this was inviting a wolf into the house or diverting disaster elsewhere now depended entirely on how Shen Ruofei handled the situation.

Fang Yu had been missing for five days, but a group of Alphas had gathered outside Shen Ruofei’s home, demanding to see her.

Just days earlier, Fu Ling had been lying in bed, her bones aching so badly she couldn’t move. But upon learning that Fang Yu had been sent to Nation Q by Shen Ruofei, she sprang up with a single leap.

Apart from Fu Ling, the other Alphas had already rushed to the Shen residence.

Seeing these battered Alphas, Xia Wu’s expression remained as cold and arrogant as ever.

Perhaps Xia Wu’s demeanor was too detestable. Ning Shuchen curled her lips in a provocative smirk and asked, “What have you been up to lately? Aren’t you even a little worried about Xiao Yu being abroad?”

Xia Wu replied calmly, “What’s the point in worrying? If you’re capable, book a flight to Nation Q right now and go find her.”

If they knew exactly where Fang Yu was in Nation Q, they wouldn’t have come to Shen Ruofei’s place to throw a tantrum.

Everyone present except Ning Shuchen had relatively stable personalities and were unwilling to engage in pointless arguments with Xia Wu. Besides, they had just clashed with Fu Ling, and causing another embarrassing scene would be childish.

When Shen Ruofei entered the living room, she saw the Official Couple and her rivals already gathered. She settled slowly into the main seat, her eyelids drooping as if exhausted.

“Fang Yu has reunited with her biological parents. Leave her alone. Instead of wasting your energy here, why not focus on how to ensure Fang Yu never has to see those despicable Fang family members again?”
