After Agreeing to a Reality Show with My Omega Ex-Girlfriend (GL) - Chapter 2
What should you do if you’re cheated on?
Before transmigrating, Qi Song had no dating experience, let alone considered this question.
But at the very least, after realizing Yu Luo’s betrayal, that woman’s credibility in her heart plummeted to zero, and any lingering goodwill was almost completely gone.
She even began to suspect if Yu Luo had calculated something in the events that just transpired.
Otherwise, why would Yu Luo happen to come looking for her precisely when the debt collectors showed up, and appear at the most crucial moment?
“Why are you here?” Qi Song asked coolly.
Yu Luo’s gaze swept over the distrustful expression on Qi Song’s face, and the smile on her lips instantly vanished.
She was silent for a moment, then let out an almost inaudible sigh: “Let’s sit and talk.”
Although elegantly and primly dressed, she didn’t care that the sofa was old and decaying, and sat down.
Taotao was about to sit with Yu Luo, but her eyes lit up when she spotted a small peach sculpture in the corner of the living room, and she toddled over.
She didn’t reach out to touch it, only observing it intently with her wide, round eyes.
She inadvertently left them space to talk.
Qi Song sat down on the other side of the sofa.
“You suspect me.” Yu Luo gazed at Qi Song, speaking unhurriedly but with great certainty.
“You think I knew they were coming beforehand, and deliberately came out at the critical moment to save you, making you feel indebted, and thus coercing you.”
Qi Song gave her a faint smile: “Isn’t that right?”
Yu Luo lowered her eyelashes.
After a moment, a self-deprecating chuckle escaped her throat.
She extended her left hand, palm facing Qi Song, her voice carrying a hint of elusive grievance and sorrow:
“Yes, not only did I direct and act in this, but I also accidentally got too deeply into character.”
Qi Song saw that what should have been a flawless, fair palm was now bloody, with a lot of cold sweat seeping from between her fingers.
Because of the continuous cold sweat, the wound couldn’t scab over, and its edges were red and swollen, a truly shocking sight.
How anxious and panicked must one be to clench their hand so tightly that their fingernails dig deep into their palm?
A wave of inexplicable pity welled up in Qi Song’s heart, but she quickly suppressed it, shifting her gaze away from the hand, her expression still indifferent.
This Omega couldn’t possibly think that playing the victim would prove her innocence, could she?
But Yu Luo took the opportunity to extend her hand forward, making a gesture of demand—
“However, since you don’t believe me…”
Her eyes held a meaningful smile: “Just pay me back the three million now.”
“…” Qi Song froze.
If she had three million right now, would she have just been threatened with a knife to her nose by a debt collector?
Sure enough, this woman had already calculated everything and knew exactly how to manipulate her.
Seeing that she couldn’t produce the money, Yu Luo’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, seemingly worried: “Can’t pay it back?”
“It’s okay,” she mused for a moment, then said considerately, “I have another option here.”
Yu Luo took an agreement from her bag and handed it to Qi Song, saying, “I actually came today for an upcoming parent-child reality show.”
“I want to take my child on this show, but I’m missing an Alpha, so I need your help.”
Perhaps considering the child playing nearby, she spoke a bit vaguely, but Qi Song understood immediately.
A parent-child reality show needs an Alpha—didn’t that mean she needed her to pretend to be the child’s other mother, acting out a scene of a happy family of three?
Absurd, simply too absurd.
It turned out this Omega not only cheated on people but also imposed on them, trying to force her to admire this “green hat” every day!
Qi Song clutched the thin piece of paper in her hand, let out a cold laugh, and, mindful of the child’s presence, lowered her voice, speaking through gritted teeth:
“Miss Yu, aren’t you humiliating me?”
Yu Luo’s expression didn’t change at her question. She calmly added, “With compensation, a hundred million.”
Qi Song was stunned.
A hundred million.
A hundred million could pay off all the original owner’s debts, and still leave enough capital to help her get back on her feet.
She didn’t understand, what did this Omega gain from this?
There were countless Alphas in the world, yet Yu Luo specifically chose her ex who she had cheated on, and was willing to spend a hundred million. This clearly defied common sense.
Qi Song thought there was a trick, and read the agreement in her hand with strong suspicion.
The parent-child reality show would have six episodes, spanning three months. During this period, Qi Song and Yu Luo would have to pretend to be an affectionate couple.
This meant not only creating the illusion of a happy family of three on the show, but also living together off-screen to avoid being photographed living separately by the media.
These demands were not at all strict.
Getting a hundred million so easily clearly meant a huge trap was waiting for her. And what kind of trap worth a hundred million could it be? Qi Song knew she definitely couldn’t handle it.
Yu Luo didn’t seem inclined to explain, and Qi Song couldn’t risk exposing that she wasn’t the original owner by asking.
So after reading it, she unhesitatingly handed the agreement back to Yu Luo, “Find someone else. I’ll pay you back the three million as soon as possible—”
“Then by tomorrow.” Yu Luo didn’t take it, only smiled faintly at her, looking so gentle and generous.
“I won’t force you. Three million or the contract, you choose freely. Just give me one of them by tomorrow.”
After speaking, she didn’t linger, rose, took Taotao’s hand, and left gracefully.
Before leaving, Taotao politely waved goodbye to Qi Song, saying “Goodbye, Auntie,” and Yu Luo praised her by rubbing her head.
Qi Song watched the mother and daughter’s figures disappear down the dilapidated stairwell through the shattered wooden door.
Her gaze fell back on the agreement, and she took a deep breath.
What in the world was this?!
She transmigrated into a book, without a golden finger system, and her start was being violently hounded for debt, followed by a “green hat” slamming down on her. Wasn’t that ridiculous?
Now her life was temporarily safe, but she owed her cheating ex-girlfriend three million.
A person could be without money, but not without principles.
She would rather shamelessly borrow money from friends to pay Yu Luo back than knowingly accept being a kept woman by a cheating Yu Luo.
Qi Song quickly made a decision and started calling the original owner’s friends.
From the original owner’s memories of the past two years, the original owner must have been very strong-willed, enduring hardships by herself and never asking friends for help.
But given the current circumstances, she couldn’t worry about that anymore.
Qi Song dialed one by one.
However, after several calls, three people directly rejected her, two mocked and ridiculed her, and one cried poverty.
At this moment, Qi Song was talking to her friend Shen Han, who was crying poverty.
Shen Han: “Wuwu, you know I’ve been unemployed for so long, now even basic sustenance is a problem. If you’re really in trouble, I can grit my teeth and spare ten yuan to get you a good meal.”
Qi Song’s heart trembled: “…No, save that ten yuan for yourself to eat well.”
Shen Han: “Sigh, who would have thought, two years ago you were doing so well, even sweetly dating your girlfriend, but now you’re even worse off than me. What kind of terrible luck did you have?”
Qi Song pricked up her ears, cautiously probing: “My girlfriend…?”
Shen Han: “Are you still missing her? Actually, I can understand. You two were so sweet back then, I was so envious of you two as a celestial couple.”
Shen Han sighed: “Who knew hearts change easily? She said she didn’t love you anymore, and that was it.”
Qi Song was curious: “She back then…”
Shen Han: “How many people in the world have that kind of unconditional tolerance and love she showed back then? So I don’t even want to persuade you anymore, since you still can’t move on.”
Qi Song decided to lead Shen Han to reveal more details: “Actually, I’m borrowing money from you today to pay her back.”
Shen Han was shocked: “Ah? What’s going on with you and her?”
Qi Song told her about being rescued after being violently hounded for debt today, “She said either I pay her back three million, or I go on a reality show with her and the kid.”
Shen Han yelled excitedly over the phone: “Awesome, Qi Song! You had a kid behind my back! So, Yu Luo’s long hiatus from acting recently was to give birth to your child?”
Qi Song was silent for a moment, then added: “Not mine, and the child is already three years old.”
Shen Han: “…Damn it, then hell no! Get your act together. Your head can break, bl00d can flow, but a green hat cannot be tolerated!”
She continued to rant: “I can’t believe Yu Luo was such a hypocrite, we were all fooled. What kind of time management master is she, being so thoughtful to you on one hand, and having time to have a child behind your back on the other?”
Qi Song: “Exactly. She also said if I go on the show, she’d give me a hundred million.”
The phone suddenly went silent.
Qi Song thought the receiver was broken and tentatively said “hello” twice before finally hearing her friend let out a long sigh.
Shen Han asked: “Why don’t you ask her for me, if she still needs a Beta for the reality show? The three of us would perfectly form an ABO lineup, plus a child, how entertaining would that be!”
Qi Song: “…”
Shen Han earnestly said: “Think bigger. Actually, love is just a small concept created by humans, and betrayal is too. But what is the concept of a hundred million? It’s a concept that scoffs at all other concepts.”
Shen Han: “My point is, if you agree to her, you get to be a mom without the pain of childbirth, you get a hundred million, and you get to see a beautiful woman you can’t forget every day. What’s not to be satisfied with? If there’s anything, I’m willing to take it on for you, just remember to give her my phone number…”
During Shen Han’s passionate speech on the theme of “a hundred million,” Qi Song found an opportunity to hang up.
She rubbed her temples, finally understanding why the original owner had never asked friends for help.
It wasn’t just about being strong; her friends were truly unreliable.
But on second thought, though the words were crude, the logic wasn’t. Those suggestions weren’t without merit.
After transmigrating, she was first hit with a series of debt collection calls, then someone came to her door with a knife, threatening to die together.
In just a few hours, she had truly experienced what it meant to be in dire straits.
And now she couldn’t even come up with three million to pay her debts. What right did she have to refuse Yu Luo’s cooperation request?
Under the life threat posed by debt, emotional entanglement seemed shallow, and acting on impulse was certainly not advisable.
Given all this, this cooperation was practically unavoidable for her.
Was there truly no other way?
Qi Song scrolled through her phone for a long time; the original owner didn’t even have contact information for her family.
As she scrolled, a notification for unpaid utility bills suddenly popped up at the top of her phone screen.
Qi Song stared at the notification, then remembering something, immediately got up to try turning on the lights and then opening the faucet in the bathroom.
She stood in the dimly lit bathroom in the evening, staring blankly at the faucet that hadn’t produced any water after a long time.
When it rains, it pours.
Ten minutes later, Qi Song finally resigned herself and sat at the table, signing the agreement.
The top contact in the original owner’s phone list was noted with a moon icon. Qi Song knew this must be Yu Luo.
She hesitated and dialed.
The call was answered instantly, and the woman’s clear, melodious voice came through: “You…”
Before the word was finished, Qi Song, as if possessed, instinctively hung up.
“Doo—”
Yu Luo looked at the disconnected call screen and gently raised an eyebrow.
Qi Song clutched her phone, her heart pounding.
Just hours ago, she was a glamorous Best Actress with no financial worries, but now she was reduced to this, having to rely on her cheating ex-girlfriend.
Hanging up was purely some kind of psychological instinct.
Would Yu Luo get angry and directly force her to pay back the three million, refusing to even discuss cooperation?
But then her phone rang several times, and several text messages came through.
First—
[XX Bank: Your account ending in 1111 received a transfer of 3,000,000.00 yuan on X month X day.]
Then—
[(Moon): This is your reward for calling me first.]
[(Moon): I’ll pick you up tomorrow at 9 AM.]
