After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, the Female Lead Can Read My Mind (GL) - Chapter 19

Good news: Jian Feng’s opinion of her finally changed.

Bad news: The direction of the change was a bit absurd.

To make Jian Feng realize she was truly not a good person, Jiang Beiwang called up her original body’s scumbag friends and arranged to meet at a certain bar.

The location was fine; it was very suitable for a scumbag friends’ gathering. The people were also fine; they were all respectable scumbag Alphas from the original body’s circle.

Jiang Beiwang was confident that this time, she would completely change Jian Feng’s perception of her.

Additionally, it would free up time for Yu Dong to sort out the inheritance she had left behind.

Jiang Beiwang’s plan was excellent: two birds with one stone. In a single day, she would leave a significant psychological shadow on Jian Feng, and Yu Dong could take care of important business by leaving the Jiang family while she was away.

Of course, for now, it was merely a good idea.

When Jiang Beiwang got out of the car, Jian Feng stared at the flashy, glittering ambient lights of the bar for a long time, unmoving.

“Are you saying the ‘important business’ you mentioned is going in here?”

“Of course,” Jiang Beiwang said. “Let’s go in.”

A good Alpha like Jian Feng probably hadn’t been to a bar much.

Especially since this place was a Jiang family property, previously managed personally by the original body.

Its chaotic nature was unimaginable.

They arrived early. Besides He Li, the other scumbag friends were still on their way.

When He Li saw Jian Feng accompanying her, she momentarily wondered if she was standing on a bar floor or the floor of some high-end venue for business negotiations.

But the familiar voice in her ear was unmistakable.

However, the likelihood of someone from the Jian family appearing here was low.

He Li’s mind raced for a moment, then she leaned close to Jiang Beiwang and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear.

“Where did you find someone who looks so much like that person from the Jian family?”

Jiang Beiwang looked at her as if she were an idiot. “That is Jian Feng.”

He Li’s eyes widened. “How did you trick Jian Feng into coming here?!”

“Jian Feng said she wanted to see what kind of ‘important business’ I was doing, so I brought her,” Jiang Beiwang casually sat in the middle of the soft, spacious sofa.

Jian Feng was clearly a bit reserved, sitting very upright, and righteously denied, “I don’t think I said that.”

Jiang Beiwang paid her no mind.

The purpose of this trip was to displease Jian Feng, preferably to anger her enough to leave directly, getting it done in one go, saving her the trouble of later racking her brains to ruin her reputation.

“Get Jian Feng a drink,” Jiang Beiwang said.

Jian Feng quickly said, “Just plain water is fine.”

He Li was left in a dilemma.

She couldn’t disobey Jiang Beiwang, but her family still had collaborations with the Jian family, so it wouldn’t be good to offend Jian Feng.

She had originally intended to relax this time, but instead, it became more uncomfortable.

He Li slowly got a glass of mint julep, then added a glass of orange juice. “We don’t have plain water. I specifically requested this.”

In reality, she had sent someone to the supermarket at the entrance to buy bottled drinks and poured them into a glass.

The Jiang family’s bar had no plain water, orange juice, or any other juice.

She didn’t know about other places, but Jiang Beiwang had forbidden them here from the start.

He Li also glanced at Jiang Beiwang’s expression and felt relieved when she saw she wasn’t angry.

I’ve done my best, Jian Feng, you should be content.

Afterward, the other scumbag friends arrived one after another, all showing uniform astonishment when they saw Jian Feng.

Their thoughts were clearly written on their faces.

Compared to their exaggerated reactions, Jian Feng merely nodded faintly as a gesture of politeness.

Once everyone had arrived, one of the scumbag friends finally mustered the courage to start a topic, “Beiwang, why haven’t you been out lately?”

And when she finally comes out, she brings such a ticking time bomb.

Jiang Beiwang didn’t rush to answer her question, taking a slow sip of the drink in front of her.

The aftertaste carried a hint of floral and fruity notes, leaning towards a sweet freshness.

After putting down her glass, she slowly spoke two words.

“No time.”

Topic closed.

As a scumbag Alpha, she would never say an extra word if two words could solve it; this was a basic principle.

After closing the topic, Jiang Beiwang propped her chin and looked to the side.

Although Jian Feng was just sitting there quietly, not saying a word, or making any movements.

But for some reason, even some of the surrounding area couldn’t liven up.

Jiang Beiwang thought idly about whether Yu Dong’s progress was going smoothly.

••••

In a narrow alley.

During her time at the Jiang family, Yu Dong rarely went out, but this time was different.

She held the note she had taken from the wooden box, which had a phone number written on it.

Yu Dong had already called from the Jiang family.

The female voice on the other end was clear and bright, seemingly not very old. After connecting, she politely asked who Yu Dong was.

Yu Dong speculated at the time that it must be a friend of her mother’s from when she was alive.

Her mother had suddenly left home back then, and even her close friends didn’t know her whereabouts. When they finally received news, her mother was already gravely ill and passed away soon after.

After Yu Dong stated her name, there was a long silence on the other end.

They arranged a meeting place. As she wasn’t very familiar with the route, Yu Dong left much earlier than necessary, but still ended up getting lost in a narrow alley.

••••

Yu Dong walked on the uneven path, subtly feeling footsteps behind her.

At first, it wasn’t obvious, but then the footsteps became clearer, and she finally noticed.

Someone was following her.

Jiang Beiwang didn’t restrict her movements, and the maids rarely left the Jiang family residence, so Yu Dong thought it unlikely to be someone from the Jiang family.

Her expression remained unchanged as she entered a corner.

The Yu family had offended many people in the past, Yu Dong knew that well.

These people would merely scoff and mock her, which she wouldn’t take to heart. At most, it would be minor injuries.

It seemed there was no path ahead.

Hardly anyone passed through this narrow alley. There was only the faint rustling of leaves in the wind, with a leaf or two occasionally falling with the breeze.

Yu Dong turned around and saw a group of people quickly emerge from the corner. She had seen the person leading them not long ago.

Xia Ningjia.

“You even attended my birthday party not long ago; you still remember me, right?” Xia Ningjia said.

The alley was very narrow, barely wide enough for three people to walk side by side. Xia Ningjia and her group quickly blocked the way.

Xia Ningjia had expected to see a panicked expression on Yu Dong’s face and specifically waited for a while after speaking.

Yu Dong’s expression remained placid, as if her appearance hadn’t caused any change in her demeanor.

Her beautiful eyes were as calm as still water, showing not a ripple.

Xia Ningjia couldn’t help but frown.

Yu Dong, at this moment, seemed to completely disregard her.

She couldn’t help but feel annoyed, and her words became deliberately unpleasant, “Do you think Jiang Beiwang pities you? She’s just playing with you. It won’t be long before you’ll be scurrying out of the Jiang family.”

Given the persistent rumors about Jiang Beiwang, what Xia Ningjia said was entirely plausible.

Yu Dong stopped in front of Xia Ningjia.

“You look very angry.”

“What do I have to be angry about?” Xia Ningjia scoffed.

“The Xia family and the Jiang family have never had any collaborations.”

After Yu Dong calmly uttered this sentence, she indeed saw Xia Ningjia’s face turn unpleasant.

Xia Ningjia opened her mouth, wanting to say that the fallen Yu family also never collaborated with the Jiang family, but her gaze fell on Yu Dong’s face, and she couldn’t speak.

Yu Dong was now living in the Jiang family.

To say who was closer to Jiang Beiwang, Yu Dong definitely had more opportunities than her.

“If I hit you now, do you think Jiang Beiwang would feel sorry for you, or… ignore you?”
