The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say gl - Chapter 1
It was common knowledge that the heir to the Bai family in Yunhai City was a cripple. Although she was an Alpha, her legs were disabled, confining her to a wheelchair for life. No matter how powerful or wealthy her family was, who would truly respect her?
It was only Chen Mengyi who suffered.
Chen Mengyi was the youngest Omega daughter of the Chen family, a family that had latched onto the Bai family and become nouveau riche. When Chen Mengyi’s biological parents heard that the Bai family had a crippled heir, they eagerly and hastily sent their youngest Omega daughter to the Bai family.
The Bai family actually had many options; they could have found an Omega who matched their family status for their heir. But such an Omega might not necessarily accept the Bai family’s cripple. Although she was paralyzed, the Bai family members pampered her, treating her like a precious treasure in the palm of their hands. If they chose that kind of Omega, and she later caused distress to their daughter, wouldn’t they just be asking for trouble?
After much thought, they decided it was better to acknowledge the young Chen girl, Chen Mengyi.
It is said that they were both only twelve years old when they first met. Chen Mengyi had just finished her differentiation and become an Omega when her parents informed her that they had arranged her future engagement. Her luggage was already packed and sent along with her to the Bai family.
It was on this day that Chen Mengyi met the Bai family heir—Bai Yue.
As rumored, Bai Yue was disabled. For unknown reasons, she was suddenly diagnosed with an Information Pheromone Disorder when she was six years old. While other effects were minor, the pheromone disorder caused her legs to lose all sensation, and she was never able to stand up again.
Chen Mengyi struggled to carry a heavy suitcase, following the Bai family butler from the main entrance. As they entered the corridor next to the courtyard, she saw a maid pushing Bai Yue, who was sitting in the grassy area within the courtyard.
The sun shone down from above, and the sunlight gently sprinkled onto her. At that moment, Bai Yue appeared very faint, like a wisp of wind in the air that could be blown away at any time.
The early autumn weather was a bit chilly, and a blanket was draped over her legs. She was sitting in her wheelchair, dressed only in a thin white shirt. Her neat, medium-length hair lay on her neck, making her face look even smaller.
Perhaps hearing the sound, Bai Yue looked over towards Chen Mengyi.
Chen Mengyi had heard many things about Bai Yue: arrogant, conceited, and turning violent due to the sudden illness. She expected to see a pair of malicious eyes, but in fact, those eyes were very bright and full of light.
The moment Bai Yue saw Chen Mengyi, she seemed to know Chen Mengyi’s identity—the fiancée sold to her by the Chen family. Realizing this, Bai Yue grabbed her wheelchair, turned it around, and pressed a button. The wheelchair swiftly rushed towards Chen Mengyi.
The Bai family’s lawn was very flat, likely because they knew Bai Yue frequently came here to sunbathe, allowing the wheelchair to move so quickly without any bumps. Even so, there was still a small curb between the grassy area and the corridor. Ordinarily, Bai Yue could control the wheelchair to cross it without issue.
But Bai Yue seemed overly excited, so the wheelchair got stuck at the junction of the corridor floor and the lawn, causing it to tip forward directly. A momentary foolish expression appeared on Bai Yue’s face, and Chen Mengyi inwardly thought, “This is bad.” Acting purely on instinct, she caught Bai Yue in front of her.
However, Bai Yue’s momentum was great, and Chen Mengyi’s strength was not as strong. As a result, Chen Mengyi could only hug Bai Yue, and the two of them tumbled onto the ground together. The suitcase she had been holding was thrown about three meters away when she caught Bai Yue.
They fell heavily onto each other. Chen Mengyi lay on her back, watching wide-eyed as the wheelchair was about to crash down on them.
If they were hit by it, she might have to go to the hospital on her very first day in the Bai family.
Fortunately, the butler was not just for show. As the wheelchair tipped towards them, the butler firmly grabbed it and, together with the maid who quickly rushed over, stabilized the wheelchair.
Chen Mengyi sighed in relief, grateful she didn’t have to go to the hospital on the first day. Just as she was thinking this, she saw Bai Yue, who was lying on top of her, move away by propping herself up on her arms. Her senseless legs fell to the ground, and she sat down directly on the side. She looked at Chen Mengyi and smiled.
“Hello, are you Chen Mengyi? I’m Bai Yue. I’m very happy to meet you, and from now on, we’re friends!”
—Who said we’re friends?
The person in front of her was her fiancée, yet she was talking about being friends. Chen Mengyi felt the world was somewhat unreal, but quickly, Chen Mengyi saw Bai Yue extending her hand towards her. She was supporting herself only with her two hands, and because she wanted to shake hands, she had to struggle to support herself with just one hand.
Seeing Bai Yue like this, Chen Mengyi could only reach out and shake hands with her.
After that, the maid and the butler helped Bai Yue up together, returning her to the wheelchair. Bai Yue waved at Chen Mengyi: “I have something else to do here. See you later!”
Bai Yue left, and Chen Mengyi was led by the butler to continue meeting Bai Yue’s mother. She watched Bai Yue take a different path from her, until her silhouette completely vanished.
That was Chen Mengyi’s first impression of Bai Yue. She was nothing like the rumors. She did not have the slightest bit of gloom because of her illness; instead, she was cheerful and seemed to have no worries at all.
“Speaking of which, I remember Chen Mengyi was twelve when she entered the Bai family. Now she’s twenty-six. Fourteen years have passed in a blink of an eye. When are they going to get married?”
This was a frequently mentioned topic at upper-class banquets in Yunhai City. Someone asked the question, and naturally, someone else chimed in. The swirling red wine glasses reflected the chandelier light, and murmuring sounds filled the banquet hall:
“Heh, marriage is a tricky subject. Now Chen Mengyi is a hot commodity. She not only swallowed up all the Chen family’s assets, but the Bai family is also under her control. The ‘child bride’ they intended to marry into the family has turned their daughter into a canary in a cage. I wonder if the former head of the Bai family would jump out of her grave in anger if she knew?”
They laughed and exchanged these words, which were well-worn topics in Yunhai City. Chen Mengyi started learning how to manage the company alongside Bai Yue’s mother during university at the age of twenty-one. By twenty-three, she became CEO. At twenty-five, both of Bai Yue’s mothers died in an accident, and it had been one year since Chen Mengyi took complete control of the Bai family.
As they said, Chen Mengyi, the “child bride,” had become the one with the final say, holding the wealth and power, while her fiancée, the Alpha Bai Yue, was like a canary in her hands.
However, these people dared not mention the phrase “child bride” in front of Chen Mengyi and Bai Yue. If they did, that cripple Bai Yue might just try to stand up by slapping her wheelchair and punch the speaker. And Chen Mengyi would definitely smile sweetly while making the other person pay the price.
“But aren’t she and Bai Yue a perfect match? What Omega is like her? Not only does she move in Alpha circles, but she’s also always smiling, like a smiling tiger. Who would look twice at her?”
“And get this, I heard she’s incredibly strong. Many tabloids have photographed her personally lifting Bai Yue. Although Bai Yue is a cripple, she’s still an Alpha. Her height and weight are considerable, but Chen Mengyi lifts her with ease. What Alpha would want an Omega like that?”
The hushed voices abruptly stopped because the two individuals at the center of their gossip had entered the banquet hall. In front, of course, was the wheelchair. Despite modern technological advancements, Bai Yue was sitting in an ordinary push-style wheelchair.
The wheels of the wheelchair rubbed against the floor, making a soft rumbling sound. The person sitting in it was wearing a white shirt with an open collar that revealed an embroidered crabapple flower. The cuffs were specially designed in an outward-flaring bell shape, tied with a bow where they connected to the straight sleeve.
She wore a cotton-linen skirt that looked very comfortable. The high-waisted design tucked the bottom half of her shirt under the skirt. On her feet were a pair of beige, gold-trimmed high heels adorned with leaf-shaped ruffles.
This was a business dinner, and Bai Yue’s attire was perhaps too casual. But considering Bai Yue’s condition, her mere presence was a huge favor to the hosts.
Compared to the casually dressed Bai Yue, Chen Mengyi behind her was clearly more formal. Her long hair flowed down her back with no special styling, but her dress was exceptionally striking. The top was a structured, bust-gathering faux-corset style, while the bottom was a straight, floor-length skirt with a wonderful drape and a slit that went up to the thigh.
It was also a spliced color design. The top was white with dark blue patterns underneath, and the skirt had two layers: a white underskirt covered by a denim-blue overskirt. The sleeveless dress left her upper body looking slightly bare, so she draped a black silk shawl over her shoulders, completing the overall look.
The reason her attire was called exaggerated was due to the accessories around her neck, arms, and waist.
At the splice of the dress, she used gold swallow ornaments as a belt, with several chains dangling down. Red gems adorned the mouths of the swallows and the chains. A red gem necklace hung around her neck. The jewel sparkled under the lights and was clearly not a common piece.
Coupled with the bright red lipstick on her lips, Chen Mengyi was mesmerizing and seductive, like a Cluster Amaryllis.
Without the capital of the Chen and Bai families, a flower as delicate yet deadly as her could never have been cultivated.
Compared to the dazzling Chen Mengyi, Bai Yue, who wore no accessories, seemed a bit pathetic.
This ensemble, when discussed among the upper-class crowd, would probably be another round of severe criticism. However, the people who were just privately criticizing the pair now picked up their wine glasses and walked towards them.
“Miss Chen, Miss Bai, it’s an honor to see you here today…”
“Miss Chen, it’s not easy to meet you. Regarding the cooperation plan for our company…”
“Miss Chen…”
With every “Miss Chen,” it seemed as if Chen Mengyi was the protagonist of this banquet.
As for Bai Yue… Ah, the most famous cripple in Yunhai City—who would even bother to speak to her at a time like this?
