After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, the Female Lead Can Read My Mind (GL) - Chapter 12
Jiang Beiwang walked to the bed and lay down, sinking into the soft mattress.
After doing such terrible things to Yu Dong, Yu Dong must thoroughly despise her by now.
Jiang Beiwang stared at the ceiling.
If it weren’t for this scumbag Alpha setting, Yu Dong would be the person she most wanted to befriend.
After all, Yu Dong was beautiful, had a great personality, and was intelligent. With her mother’s money, Yu Dong would become increasingly influential later on, independent and clear-headed.
If she weren’t a scumbag Alpha, she could follow the female lead and live a life free of worries about food and clothing, and even get to see Yu Dong’s beautiful face every day.
Unfortunately, from the first second Jiang Beiwang transmigrated into the scumbag Alpha, she was destined not to live peacefully with Yu Dong.
Considering that the previous plot segment went relatively smoothly, the system consoled her:
[Host, if it weren’t for playing the scumbag Alpha, you wouldn’t have come to this world.]
Jiang Beiwang covered her face with the blanket.
[Don’t think too much. Just complete the mission, and when the plot concludes, the Host will naturally return to their original life.]
The system said.
[The Host’s existence is also to help the female lead.]
[So, don’t feel guilty.]
It said that, but after this not-too-long, not-too-short period of interaction, the system could also feel that the Host felt bad for the female lead.
The system fell into contemplation.
Then the system realized.
Jiang Beiwang sent a message to He Li, asking her to come over.
Good scumbag friend, your contribution this time is significant.
However…
The blanket covering her face blocked out the light.
Only when the screen was on did it emit a faint white glow.
After the screen turned off, Jiang Beiwang’s vision immediately went dark.
When He Li pushed the door open, Jiang Beiwang was sitting in a chair by the window, her long legs crossed, her gaze fixed outside. She didn’t look back when she heard the door open.
He Li, standing silently by the door as if being punished, made wild guesses.
Was Jiang Beiwang still angry about yesterday?
However, based on her experience being around Jiang Beiwang for so long, scumbag Alphas generally didn’t hold grudges.
After all, they settled grudges on the spot.
Jiang Beiwang had called He Li this time to ask about Jian Feng.
She was the villain now. According to the plot, after being bullied by the villain, the female lead needed a good person to comfort her.
Jian Feng was, of course, the most suitable candidate.
And the He family currently had business dealings with the Jian family, so it should be relatively natural for He Li to bring Jian Feng to the Jiang family.
That was the thought process.
Jiang Beiwang turned around, her face expressionless, “He Li, if you upset someone, what would you do?”
He Li: “…?”
Wait.
What exactly was this situation, what development, what did it mean?
He Li felt increasingly unable to handle Jiang Beiwang.
She felt like she was about to grow another brain, specifically for thinking about the questions Jiang Beiwang asked.
First, she’d use her remaining consciousness to clarify things.
He Li recalled.
Initially, when she saw Yu Dong appear at Jiang Beiwang’s door, she felt their relationship seemed to be getting better and better, even delivering breakfast directly to the door.
Then, with the mindset of “nothing to lose by watching,” He Li stood not far away and began to observe.
She had expected to see a miracle, a scumbag Alpha not being scumbag, but she hadn’t expected Jiang Beiwang to directly take action, completely devoid of any gentleness or pity.
He Li immediately changed her mind.
It seemed Jiang Beiwang still hated Yu Dong. Yu Dong must have had a terrible time lately, and perhaps Jiang Beiwang even ordered Yu Dong to bring the breakfast.
Getting angry and just bullying someone, bullying someone first thing in the morning and so on.
Sounds like something a scumbag Alpha would do.
Then He Li decided it was best not to appear when Jiang Beiwang was angry, and prepared to hide, when she received a message from Jiang Beiwang.
Now, the person was asking her what to do after bullying Yu Dong.
Although she didn’t directly mention Yu Dong’s name, there was no way she could be thinking of anyone else.
Above.
That was the extent of He Li’s thinking.
She reached one conclusion.
The scumbag Alpha’s brain was broken.
But He Li didn’t dare to say it.
He Li, seething but unable to speak, forced a smile. “At a time like this, you should first sincerely apologize and then ask for their forgiveness.”
Apologizing definitely wouldn’t work.
Asking for forgiveness was even worse.
Jiang Beiwang twirled the pen in her hand. “Other methods.”
“Create some small surprises to make them happy?”
“No.”
“Say something nice, that should work, right?”
“No.”
He Li managed to hold back the “What exactly do you want?” that was on the tip of her tongue.
She thought about Jiang Beiwang’s sour face trying to say nice things and couldn’t help but want to laugh.
“Tell them to go out for a stroll, clear their mind.”
“…”
This one was feasible.
But it seemed to clash with the plot.
Jiang Beiwang remembered the few times Yu Dong left the Jiang family, she would unfortunately encounter people from other families and inevitably endure a round of public mockery.
Putting aside how to cheer up Yu Dong for a moment, Jiang Beiwang hadn’t forgotten the real reason for calling He Li.
To invite Jian Feng to the Jiang family.
After discussing with He Li the approximate time Jian Feng could arrive at the Jiang family, Jiang Beiwang waved her hand, dismissing He Li to return to the He family.
For several days in a row.
Jiang Beiwang couldn’t bring herself to be energetic.
These past few days, she had hardly left her room, avoiding all possible occasions to meet Yu Dong.
When Jiang Beiwang woke up this day, she glimpsed that the sky outside the window was noticeably overcast, and even the usual morning light that shone into the room was absent.
It might rain soon.
Jiang Beiwang slowly moved downstairs. On the stairs, she looked down to check if Yu Dong was anywhere around.
Only after confirming that there were only one or two servants preparing lunch did she confidently walk downstairs.
Because of Yu Dong’s foot injury, Jiang Beiwang had been having three meals delivered to Yu Dong’s door these past few days, naturally avoiding any possibility of meeting Yu Dong during meals.
She pulled out a chair and sat down as usual.
Then.
She saw Yu Dong standing in the middle of the staircase.
Alright, now Jiang Beiwang had two choices.
First, swiftly duck under the table, then, as Yu Dong came down the stairs, dart upstairs like a mouse dodging a cat, go back to her room, and lock the door.
Second, pretend not to have seen anything and ignore Yu Dong.
Clearly, the second option suited her image better, but deep down, Jiang Beiwang would unhesitatingly choose the first.
Unfortunately, Yu Dong didn’t give her a chance to choose.
While Jiang Beiwang was still contemplating which option to pick, Yu Dong had already walked to her side and sat down.
By now, Yu Dong’s foot injury should indeed have healed considerably.
Yu Dong, looking normal, sat down and even greeted her, “Good afternoon.”
Jiang Beiwang swallowed a mouthful of food, unable to taste anything.
What kind of kind and beautiful female lead was this? Even after all that, why did she still greet her?
Her conscience was deeply troubled.
Had her bullying these past few days not been harsh enough? Why did Yu Dong not seem to hate her at all?
While Jiang Beiwang was touched, she was also incredibly distressed.
Could it be that her scumbag Alpha act was terrible, that she didn’t convey the same oppressive feeling as the original character, leading Yu Dong to still feel hope?
It seemed she might need to do even harsher things to make Yu Dong actively avoid her.
Yu Dong’s days had been rather ordinary.
It was just that when she couldn’t see Jiang Beiwang, Yu Dong couldn’t hear Jiang Beiwang’s inner thoughts.
Jiang Beiwang didn’t allow her to go out, so she had two maids stationed outside Yu Dong’s door, ready to block her if she tried to open it.
During this time, Jiang Beiwang even came once. Yu Dong stood behind the two maids, listening quietly.
Jiang Beiwang said, “The Jiang family doesn’t want to raise a good-for-nothing.”
Her voice was gloomy and impatient, filled with an uncomfortable disgust, as if she truly found Yu Dong utterly vexing. Even the two maids were terrified and dared not look up.
In reality, what Yu Dong heard was:
[Get well soon, seriously. Don’t let it worsen and affect your walking later.]
[Is three times a day enough for thick application of ointment? Should it be four times?]
[So annoying. Why isn’t she listening?]
