Dressed as the Scumbag Alpha Mom of the Tragic Female Lead (ABO, GL) - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Since Jiang Chuxie majored in computer science and dabbled in stock trading, she splurged on a decent computer. As for her phone, she wasn’t picky—it was just for calls and texts—so she bought the cheapest model.

As for Miss Gu, she naturally used the best phone available on the market. Jiang Chuxie recognized it at a glance: the first phone with a camera, launched this year, complete with an MP3 player and 2G network access. It cost several times more than her computer.

Of course, this wasn’t surprising. From what Jiang Chuxie knew, the Gu family was filthy rich, owning two major oil fields and a private gold mine abroad. Domestically, they were among the top real estate developers, with more money than they could spend.

An Omega heiress from such a family would typically attend a private university. In the original story, because she got engaged to Jiang Chuxie early, Gu Lingjun didn’t even go to college. Though Jiang Chuxie had attributed Gu Lingjun’s presence here to her altering the characters’ fates, honestly, she couldn’t fathom why this heiress would study life sciences at one of the country’s top public universities.

While Jiang Chuxie found it odd, she didn’t want to dwell on it. Even though she was now entangled, her principle remained unchanged. With the Gu family’s involvement, this matter should resolve smoothly, and she’d only need to testify later.

Gu Lingjun’s parents doted on their only daughter. In the story, after Gu Lingjun’s death, they fiercely protected their granddaughter. Otherwise, under the care of Jiang Chuxie, the scummy Alpha mother, the heroine Jiang Weizao probably wouldn’t have survived.

“Miss Jiang, are you a computer science student?”

After exchanging contact information, Jiang Chuxie wanted to leave, but Gu Lingjun kept following her closely.

Jiang Chuxie’s heart sank, a bad feeling creeping in. If Gu Lingjun’s earlier actions could be chalked up to gratitude or wanting to secure her as a witness, her current behavior was too obviously trying to get close.

She couldn’t be so unlucky as to fall into the plot’s trap, with this heiress falling for her at first sight, could she?

“That’s none of your business.”

Jiang Chuxie replied curtly, hoping to deter Gu Lingjun’s curiosity. But the previously soft-spoken Omega showed no sign of backing down.

“I don’t mean anything by it. If we’re heading the same way, can I go back with you?”

Jiang Chuxie paused, unable to resist looking at Gu Lingjun’s face.

Gu Lingjun’s appearance was nearly flawless: shoulder-length raven-black hair, porcelain-white delicate skin, and doll-like refined features that inspired admiration and affection.

Though she was a character from a book, seeing her beauty in person still left Jiang Chuxie stunned and amazed.

Gu Lingjun’s look was both pure and vibrant. Her brows and eyes exuded an indescribable innocence, but her cherry-blossom lips added a touch of allure to that purity.

When she lowered her brows, she was gentle; when she cast her eyes down, she was charming; when she pursed her lips, she showed a hint of stubbornness. What Jiang Chuxie saw now was this contradictory charm.

In short, after this observation, Jiang Chuxie confirmed that this Omega was the most beautiful and endearing person she’d seen in both her lives.

Even if the poetic descriptions swirling in her mind weren’t her own, she had to admit their accuracy. In that moment, purely due to Gu Lingjun’s appearance, her heart raced.

If she could blame it entirely on the force correcting the world’s timeline, it’d be easier. But this reaction made it hard to deny that she might be developing a bent tendency.

In her previous life, Jiang Chuxie died suddenly at 26. She focused on studies in school and worked tirelessly at a securities firm afterward, a true lifelong single.

Having never dated or even felt a crush, she’d never considered her orientation.

But after transmigrating into this world and this body, her experiences made her think she was hopelessly straight.

She didn’t like the extra “equipment” on her body, disliked her body’s reactions to Omegas, and had zero desire for intimacy with anyone. In truth, she’d been avoiding one fact: the Jiang Chuxie who became an Alpha was vastly different from the Jiang Chuxie of her past life.

These six years, she’d lived fully yet emptily, legendarily yet tragically, struggling yet drifting. Even now, she hadn’t found a sense of belonging.

“Miss Jiang, are you okay?”

Seeing her frown, Gu Lingjun looked worried.

Jiang Chuxie rubbed her brow with a headache. Honestly, was there any point in worrying about being straight or bent in this world? Thinking this way showed she hadn’t fully shed her past life’s mindset.

“I’m fine. If anything, I should ask if you’re okay. I made it clear: I’m an Alpha. Even with pheromone suppressants, I advise you to keep your distance.”

Jiang Chuxie sighed deeply, unsure whether to call Gu Lingjun naive or foolish. After what just happened, she dared to invite an Alpha like her to go together.

Jiang Chuxie used suppressants not just to be considerate to Omegas but to avoid unnecessary trouble. As the mother of the story’s irresistible heroine, her pheromones were potent. She strongly suspected the Gu heiress fell for the scummy Alpha in the story because of her pheromones.

A captivating blush appeared on Gu Lingjun’s porcelain-smooth cheeks, her voice tinged with shyness. “I know you’re an Alpha. At the coffee shop… no, the first time we met, I smelled your pheromones.”

In truth, such words usually carried a flirtatious undertone. Combined with Gu Lingjun’s earlier attempts to get close, Jiang Chuxie’s alarm bells rang—despite using suppressants, Gu Lingjun could smell her pheromones. She was doomed; this heiress had definitely fallen for her!

“Then stay away.”

“But you helped me, and that has nothing to do with you being an Alpha. I can feel you’re different from other Alphas. The things you said earlier… I really want to thank you.”

No, no, no, this “thank you” was definitely code for offering herself!

She knew the trope: if the savior wasn’t good-looking, you’d vow to serve them in the next life; if they were attractive, you’d say you could only repay them with your body.

Miss Gu must have smelled her pheromones, been swayed by the plot, and fallen crazily, irrationally in love with her. That’s why she shed her earlier timidity and was determined to pursue her.

She knew it!

“No need to thank me. Really, please don’t.”

She absolutely didn’t need that kind of repayment. Even if she found Miss Gu a tiny bit pretty and a tiny bit endearing, she had no intention of having a daughter with Gu Lingjun!

She’d stayed chaste for six years and wouldn’t break her streak now!

Gu Lingjun bit her lip, looking dejected. “It’s not… I don’t just want to thank you…”

Ugh, she knew it!

Gu Lingjun didn’t just want to thank her—she wanted to have her baby!

“I don’t like Omegas!”

“I also want to be friends with you.”

Both froze upon hearing the other’s words. Jiang Chuxie’s eyes widened slightly, a rare crack appearing in her usually cold facade. Gu Lingjun raised her brows, lips parted, staring at her in surprise.

Because of Gu Lingjun’s reaction, the crack in Jiang Chuxie’s mask shattered completely, her pale skin visibly reddening.

So embarrassing!

Since when had she become so narcissistic? Gu Lingjun only wanted to be friends—though it could be an excuse—but she’d even thought about having kids. What was wrong with her!

No, no, she was only overthinking because she’d read the original story. It didn’t mean anything.

In the awkward moment where Jiang Chuxie was too embarrassed to respond, Gu Lingjun let out a soft laugh. Her eyes curved happily, but as if sparing Jiang Chuxie, she covered her lips with her hand, chuckling subtly and elegantly.

“Is this why I think Miss Jiang is different from other Alphas?”

Gu Lingjun showed no disappointment, as if she was playfully slapping Jiang Chuxie’s face for assuming she was in love with her.

If she could crawl into a hole, Jiang Chuxie wouldn’t hesitate to vanish on the spot. But she couldn’t, so she pushed her glasses to mask her reaction, using the brief moment to compose herself.

“An Alpha is an Alpha. Don’t assume I’m different from others. I’m not interested, don’t have time, and don’t have the mood to be friends with you. If there’s nothing else, go back to school. I have things to do and won’t keep you. Goodbye.”

Perfect, Jiang Chuxie, reject her coldly, callously, ruthlessly! No matter her intentions, don’t waver.

Gu Lingjun seemed stunned by her words, staring silently.

This time, Jiang Chuxie didn’t bother with her, hailed a taxi, and fled the scene. Spending a bit more money was worth it—staying with Gu Lingjun any longer would only make her act weirder.

Gu Lingjun watched the taxi drive away, her still figure looking a bit forlorn. Yet a faint smile played on her lips, and her usually downcast eyes lifted slightly, reducing her timid air.

Gu Lingjun noticed that when Jiang Chuxie’s face changed, the hazy aura around her seemed to vanish, letting her see her features and the panic in those ambiguous eyes more clearly.
