The Five Heartless Scumbag Alphas Turned Against Each Other Because Of Me - Chapter 21.2

Lu Huaixu smiled faintly, even with a strange hint of amusement. “Of course.”

A bad feeling crept into Wen Chuan’s heart. She wasn’t sure what Lu Huaixu was planning, but she suppressed her discomfort and walked over to sit beside Tan Hua—only for Lu Huaixu to cut in, “Over there.”

Wen Chuan stopped mid-step, her expression darkening as she stared at Lu Huaixu. But the pressure in Lu Huaixu’s aura left her no choice but to obey.

She was certain that if she dared resist, Lu Huaixu would have her thrown out in the next breath—no hesitation, no mercy, not even a glance at Tan Hua’s opinion.

Being thrown out wasn’t the issue—it was the humiliation, especially in front of Tan Hua. That thought alone made her stomach twist. She could just imagine Cheng Yuan witnessing her so thoroughly disgraced.

Wen Chuan took a deep breath. Ever since the dinner two nights ago, her patience and bottom line had been tested repeatedly by Tan Hua.

In truth, Lu Huaixu hadn’t even decided what exactly she wanted Tan Hua to do today. It was simply that the Omega had brought it up herself, and Lu Huaixu had agreed.

Tan Hua had a great figure. Whatever she wore, there was always a unique, seductive elegance to it.

Like now—in that cat-girl outfit, she looked both cute and sultry, with just the right amount of temptation. Lu Huaixu was thoroughly pleased.

Narrowing her eyes, Lu Huaixu studied Tan Hua. She had to admit, there was a reason Tan Hua could serve as Cheng Yuan’s substitute. It wasn’t just the faint resemblance between them—it was Tan Hua’s own inexplicable charm. A magnetic pull.

Tan Hua had made up her mind to win Lu Huaixu’s luxury car today. She was pulling out all the stops.

From across the room, Wen Chuan sat on a single-seat sofa, staring unblinking at Tan Hua’s sycophantic smile. She found it unbearable to watch, yet couldn’t look away.

Tan Hua had never acted like this around her.

When they were together, Tan Hua was always quick to anger, casual, indifferent—as if Wen Chuan was some insignificant stray dog, to be summoned or dismissed at will.

She had never lowered herself, never worked this hard to please her.

Am I just not worthy? Wen Chuan suddenly began to doubt herself.

She sat in silence, her young face occasionally clouded with confusion, even a faint trace of grievance.

The system zapped Tan Hua with a jolt of electricity—twice.

Just as Tan Hua was about to scold it, the system quickly blurted out, “Host, Wen Chuan’s still a kid. Don’t traumatize her with your shameless antics.”

Tan Hua choked on her words. “…”

She glanced lazily at Wen Chuan, then corrected the system coldly. “What kid? She’s a legally capable adult with full civil responsibility.”

“Besides, it’s not like I invited her here to watch me and Lu Huaixu cuddle.” She huffed. Then her eyes lit up mischievously. “But since she’s already here…”

“Wouldn’t it be a waste if I didn’t let her see something worthwhile?”

System: “?!” You’re already emotionally torturing her. What else are you planning to show her?!

Nervous and twitchy, the system couldn’t help but zap her again.

Tan Hua raised her head slowly and threatened darkly, “Touch me one more time and see what happens.”

“….” The system went into silent mode. Dead.

Tan Hua’s gaze kept drifting toward the young Alpha. Lu Huaixu frowned slightly and pinched her cheek with long, elegant fingers, forcibly redirecting her attention.

“Is she really that good-looking?”

“If so, why don’t you two go home and stare at each other to your heart’s content?”

Tan Hua snapped back to attention, quickly shaking her head. “No, no,” she stammered, blinking rapidly as if guilty. She even glanced at Wen Chuan again—deliberately.

Lu Huaixu’s expression didn’t change, but her eyes deepened.

Still so disobedient. Her fingers tightened slightly around Tan Hua’s small, pale face, and a strange, destructive desire flared within her.

Sensing she was skating too close to the edge, Tan Hua wisely stopped teasing. She resumed her obedient act, looking up at Lu Huaixu with wide, innocent eyes.

Whatever nameless anger Lu Huaixu had was instantly soothed by that look. She stared at Tan Hua, briefly dazed.

Wen Chuan sat expressionless. The moment she saw Lu Huaixu touching Tan Hua so casually, she nearly leapt up to fight her.

But in the end, reason won out.

She shut her eyes, breathing deeply to suppress the emotions threatening to spiral out of control.

Tan Hua isn’t Sister Cheng Yuan, she reminded herself. Who she entangles with is none of my business. She’s just a stand-in. Not even one percent of what Cheng Yuan was.

A woman like her, who flatters the rich and powerful, is only acting as expected. I should stop caring.

Wen Chuan repeated this mantra in her heart and simply kept her eyes shut. Out of sight, out of mind.

But when vision is blocked, a person’s hearing becomes especially sensitive.

Wen Chuan could hear the soft rustling beside her, the whispered murmurs of the Omega. They seemed to be sharing secrets… or maybe mocking her—treating her like a joke.

In this moment, did she look utterly ridiculous in their eyes?

Tan Hua had already blocked her. She didn’t want to see her again. Yet Wen Chuan had shamelessly come all the way here, only to watch her flirt openly with another Alpha.

Were her actions in Tan Hua’s eyes nothing more than childish and laughable?

Wen Chuan clenched her fingers tightly, humiliation flooding her face. Her cheeks burned uncontrollably.

She, too, found herself laughable now. Tan Hua doesn’t care about me anymore—so why am I still chasing after her like this?

Another breathy, teasing sound of intimacy drifted over, like a hook digging into her heart, making her itch with emotion.

Finally, Wen Chuan couldn’t stand it any longer—her eyes snapped open.

And what she saw made her bl00d run cold: the Omega was practically pressed against Lu Huaixu.

Her mind went blank—buzz—as if the whole world had suddenly gone silent.

Wen Chuan was young, hot-blooded, and never known for her patience. This seductive, sensual scene was the final straw. Her head boiled, and her body moved faster than her brain—charging forward without a second thought.

“Come with me.”

She grabbed Tan Hua’s delicate wrist—a wrist so slender it looked like it might snap with just a little force. Her face was stormy with rage.

Ignoring Tan Hua’s stunned expression, Wen Chuan yanked her away from Lu Huaixu and pointed furiously at the Alpha.

“I don’t care how rich you are—even if your wealth rivals an entire nation—she’s not one of those Omegas you can just toy with and use at will!”

Tan Hua blinked in shock. “…?” What are you even saying right now?

She was about to ask, but Wen Chuan had already gripped her harder, eyes blazing with fury. “Take your clothes. We’re leaving.”

“Leaving?” Tan Hua frowned, clearly irritated, and tried to shake her hand free—but failed. She gave up and said coldly, “Then leave by yourself. I’m not going.”

I haven’t closed the deal today. If I leave now, where am I going to find another client this generous?

Wen Chuan’s chest heaved from the rage and pain. She barely managed to hold back the urge to drop everything and walk away for good.

“Tan Hua, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you coming with me or not?”

She was teetering on the edge of a breakdown—completely out of control. Tan Hua looked at her, amused and cruel, and gave a ruthless answer:

“No.”

The system took the opportunity to zap Tan Hua again and declared with moral righteousness: “Host, please do not intentionally provoke your target.”

Tan Hua flinched, eyelid twitching. She tossed back, “I’ll deal with you later,” before turning back to glare at Wen Chuan, eyes sharp.

“What exactly do you want?”

She was out of patience now, her voice laced with irritation. “Wen Chuan, you’d better get a clear grip on your identity.”

She curled her lips into a brilliant, heartless smile. “What right do you have to control me?”

“What do you think you are to me, hmm?”

Tan Hua took a step forward, closing the distance. Wen Chuan instinctively stepped back, her expression darkening.

She opened her mouth, voice trembling with emotion: “Because I’m your—”

The words cut off abruptly.

What was she to her? A girlfriend? No—Wen Chuan wasn’t even a friend.

Her face turned slightly pale, but she refused to admit defeat in front of Lu Huaixu. Her tightly pressed lips parted just enough for her to speak—her voice low, cold, and full of bitterness.
“Because I’m your so-called rebellious child.”

Tan Hua was completely lost: “…” Are you okay?

Lu Huaixu watched with growing amusement as the two suddenly began arguing. Her gaze, however, never strayed from Tan Hua—playful, intrigued.

It wasn’t until the room fell silent again that Lu Huaixu finally spoke, slow and unhurried, “Are you two done?”

Her calm eyes turned to Wen Chuan. “If you’ve said all you wanted, may we continue now—”

“You can forget it.” Wen Chuan cut her off angrily. “From this moment on, she will never work for you again—never again be at your mercy, to be touched and humiliated at will!”

Tan Hua: “!” I didn’t—I wasn’t—can you please stop making things up?!

She tried to argue, her tone righteous and ready to clarify, but Wen Chuan turned to her with a fierce glare. “You be quiet.”

And without waiting for a response, she forcefully dragged Tan Hua away from Lu Huaixu, not caring in the slightest about her reaction—leaving behind everything else, including her clothes.

Alpha strength was not to be underestimated. Tan Hua struggled several times but couldn’t break free. It wasn’t until they reached the little garden outside Lu Huaixu’s villa that she managed to stop them by leaning against the greenery.

“Wen Chuan!”

She shouted, furious. Seizing the moment Wen Chuan turned her head in surprise, Tan Hua yanked her wrist free and glared, her voice sharp.
“What the hell is wrong with you today?”

“I’m the one who’s crazy?” Wen Chuan’s eyes flickered, unstable with emotion. “You think I’m the one acting insane?”

Tan Hua’s face remained blank. What else am I supposed to think?

You want me to believe you’re doing this out of genuine care for me?
That’s a joke.

Wen Chuan saw straight through her thoughts, and the realization stabbed through her like a blade. Her heart ached deeply.
“You don’t want me to care about you at all, do you?” she asked, her voice quiet but trembling.

Tan Hua said nothing.

Wen Chuan became more agitated, as if something had cracked inside her. “Is she really that amazing to you? So much so that you’d throw away your pride, just to please her?”

Tan Hua closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again with a calm explanation.
“I’m working.”

“What kind of legitimate job lets an employer grope you?” Wen Chuan scoffed. “Don’t treat me like a fool.”

Tan Hua was at her wits’ end. “You’re misunderstanding.”

She sighed. “Haven’t you noticed that, actually, I was the one doing the touching?”

Wen Chuan froze.

Tan Hua continued, voice unhurried, almost philosophical.
“An ordinary Omega like me—how many good deeds must I have done in a past life to run into an Alpha like her?”

“Beautiful and sharp-featured, cold and elegant, tall, commanding, with an air of nobility—and rich. Tell me, meeting a woman like that, wouldn’t I be a fool not to seize the chance and climb into her bed?”

“Secure the bag. Live a life of luxury.”

She reached out and tapped Wen Chuan lightly on the chest.
“Ask yourself honestly—if you were an Omega and met someone like Lu Huaixu, wouldn’t you be tempted too?”

You don’t even have to be Omega. Just listening as an Alpha is enough to make your heart race.

Wen Chuan’s brow furrowed deeply. “Stop dodging the question.”

“I don’t care whether you’re tempted or not—I won’t let you degrade yourself like this.”

“Then under what identity are you trying to control me?” Tan Hua stepped closer, her smile sweet and bright, but her words merciless.

“Wen Chuan, you’re not even my friend.”

“Do you really think that just because you played my little girlfriend for a few days, you now have the right to control everything I do?”

Wen Chuan’s lips were pale; she couldn’t speak. But her heart—cold and ashen just a moment ago—suddenly flared warm and intense the moment she heard those three words: little girlfriend.

A strange, electric feeling shot through her body. Wen Chuan couldn’t even describe her emotions—she just knew one thing:
She was happy.

So happy it felt ridiculous.

“Yes,” Wen Chuan admitted shamelessly, nodding. “That’s exactly what I think.”

Tan Hua looked at her like she’d lost her mind, and Wen Chuan just smiled.
“Five hundred thousand. Spend the whole day with me.”

“I want you to treat me the way you treat her—obedient, submissive, and completely at my command.”

Yeah, keep dreaming. Tan Hua didn’t hesitate: “No way—”

“One million,” Wen Chuan raised the price without missing a beat.

Tan Hua faltered slightly. “Do you even have that much money?”

She shouldn’t have asked.

At the question, Wen Chuan reacted like a cat whose tail had been stomped on.
“Who do you think you’re looking down on?! My dad is the CEO of a top real estate company, my mom owns mining assets worth more than a country, my family has properties all over the globe—our combined wealth is enough for you to spend ten lifetimes and still not run out!”

“Alright then,” Tan Hua replied smoothly.

Wen Chuan blinked, stunned, not even getting the chance to feel happy before Tan Hua took it a step further.

“But you’ll have to pay more.”

“Two million.” She raised two fingers. “Take it or leave it.”

Wen Chuan was furious—but completely helpless against her.

Finally, she gritted her teeth. “Fine.” Two million it was. If she couldn’t scrape it all together, she’d borrow some from a friend.

Just then, the system popped up to helpfully report:
“Host, Wen Chuan doesn’t actually have that much on hand. She’s planning to borrow it from her friends.”

Tan Hua blinked, surprised. “Really? I didn’t expect she actually liked me that much—to be willing to swallow her pride and borrow money just to buy a day with me.”

System: “Respect. 10/10 devotion.”

When Tan Hua gave her definitive yes, Wen Chuan finally exhaled in relief. Trying to sound casual, she said, “…Then remove me from your blocklist first.”

“I left my phone,” Tan Hua said, turning back. “I need to go grab my stuff.”

Wen Chuan tensed, instinctively following. “I’ll come with you.”

Tan Hua glanced back at her with a bright smile—and didn’t refuse.

The two returned together.

Lu Huaixu was still sitting upright on the couch, laptop on her lap. When she heard them enter, she didn’t even look up.
“Got everything sorted?” she asked, calmly.

“Of course it’s settled,” Wen Chuan replied with a tight-lipped, mocking smile, her voice practically laced with gunpowder. “She’s quitting. Because she’ll be spending the entire day with me.”

Go cool off somewhere else, would you?

Lu Huaixu didn’t argue. Instead, she turned a questioning gaze to Tan Hua. “Is that true?”

Tan Hua scratched her cheek awkwardly. “Uh… seems like it is.”

Worried that Lu Huaixu might get mad and never do business with her again, she quickly flitted over like a butterfly, lowering her voice and explaining sweetly, “President Lu, something came up today. I won’t charge you for this session—I’ll come back another day instead.”

Lu Huaixu looked down at her cautious expression and suddenly chuckled.
“You think I care about that little bit of money?”

Tan Hua was stunned. Tens of thousands were “a little bit of money” in her eyes?

“You’re right—you don’t,” Tan Hua said, smiling along, but her expression turned helpless. “It’s just… I really do have to leave today—”

“Ten times the rate,” Lu Huaixu cut her off lazily.

Tan Hua couldn’t lie—at that moment, her heart skipped a beat.

But when she caught Wen Chuan’s burning stare from the side, she had to push that tempting heartbeat down and mumble, “President Lu, this isn’t about money—”

“Twenty times.”

Tan Hua: “!”

How the hell is anyone supposed to say no to that?!

In despair, she turned to Wen Chuan, silently begging to ghost her—but Wen Chuan, already anticipating this, snapped coldly, “You already agreed to be with me.”

…Well, crap.

With a heavy heart, Tan Hua reached out and grasped Lu Huaixu’s hand, casually rubbing it twice for comfort. “President Lu… does it really have to be today? Can’t we reschedule? I’ll take half the price.”

Lu Huaixu chuckled softly and replied, “Yes. It has to be today. And right now.”

Tan Hua’s vision darkened. Honestly, just cut me in half and give each of them a piece. That’d settle things nicely.

The air grew thick with tension. Tan Hua, feeling cornered, pulled out her phone and secretly texted Zheng Jinyu:
“Name your price. I’m yours for the day.”

If I have to serve someone today, she thought wickedly, why not go all in and serve two at once?

Her devious little plan was interrupted almost immediately by a surge of electricity stronger than anything she’d felt before.

“System!” Tan Hua yelled in outrage.

“Host,” the system responded sternly, “please refrain from imagining content not permitted by Jinjiang’s platform.”

“One warning. Two warnings = double the shock. Three—” The system stalled suddenly.

“You threatening me now?” Tan Hua narrowed her eyes dangerously.

The system didn’t get a chance to answer before Tan Hua turned back toward Lu Huaixu and Wen Chuan, smiling brightly.

“Well, since I just can’t seem to choose…” she said with mock sincerity, “why don’t the three of us just spend the day together?”

“What do you think?”

Wen Chuan’s face turned completely black, while Lu Huaixu still wore a smile—but the pressure rolling off her body was intense.

“You tell me,” Lu Huaixu said.

You want me to decide? Tan Hua blinked once, then shamelessly clapped her hands and declared, “Then it’s settled!”

Heh.

Tan-jie: Whoa, did a meat pie just fall from the sky today? Surprise, delight, pure euphoria.
