Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 34

Today, Luo Yun didn’t wear her usual smoky eye makeup and appeared in a typical office attire. If it weren’t for the store clerk addressing her as “Boss Luo” Zuo Baixuan would hardly have recognized her.

Zuo Baixuan glanced at Luan Yenan, her eyes questioning: Is this the big fool you’ve chosen?

Luan Yenan curled her lips: What, do you want to switch?

Zuo Baixuan thought to herself, it’s none of her business whom Luan Yenan decides to trick.

Luan Yenan herself thought the same, it didn’t matter whom she tricked.

Whoever comes first, it’s their turn.

Since Luo Yun seized the initiative, then so be it. It would also serve as a little payback for her actions yesterday.

After returning from the racetrack yesterday, Luo Yun, driven by curiosity, asked her strategist, Secretary Zhang, to help figure out what Luan Yenan was up to.

If it was a harmless project, just not worth twenty million, she was prepared to laugh it off, after all, one must accept the consequences of a bet.

If it was truly a pile of garbage, Luo Yun, even with her wealth, didn’t want to be the sucker and would definitely settle scores with Luan Yenan, marking her as a lifelong enemy.

But unexpectedly.

After reviewing the PPT, Luo Yun suddenly felt that Luan Yenan might have actually stumbled upon a good project. If it weren’t for the lack of capital, she wouldn’t be offering it to her.

Secretary Zhang, after watching the project introduction PPT, was also silent for a long time.

“Secretary Zhang, say something. I think this project is good, but if you think I’m being deceived, you can say it directly, I can handle it, it’s just twenty million after all.”

“I can’t quite grasp it.” said the young female Beta with an ordinary appearance but a cool demeanor, honestly.

“?” Luo Yun was surprised.

Surprised that Secretary Zhang, who had always been confident in her own judgment, would say she couldn’t grasp it.

Finally, the two discussed.

If they alone couldn’t figure it out, they should let others take a look.

So last night, Luo Yun took advantage of the attention from the racetrack incident and, when others came to inquire, she shared fragments of Luan Yenan’s “blockchain” concept.

Some well-informed individuals quickly noticed that on an international high-end programmer forum, there was also information related to “blockchain.”

It came from a legendary programmer known internationally for cracking several international computer viruses, named “Huanyu.”

“Huanyu” announced the establishment of an electronic currency system and an open-source project centered around it.

Just Luan Yenan wanting to start an electronic currency system project, or a programming genius wanting to start an open-source project, wouldn’t have stirred the capital.

But within a single day.

First, Luan Yenan approached Luo Yun with a project, causing a big stir and securing a large investment.

Then, coincidentally, the programming genius announced the establishment of an open-source project related to Luan Yenan’s project.

The keen sense of the capital told them that the two must be connected.

They even thought that this might essentially be a tactic by the Luan family, or perhaps Luan Muyin’s attempt to help her daughter reclaim her inheritance.

Once everything formed a coherent logic, many began to stir in the shadows.

Even though on the programmer forum, everyone was still discussing feasibility.

The capital was already considering operability.

All projects are most profitable for those who get in at the initial stage and secure original shares.

No matter where the project ends up, as long as capital is injected and rapidly incubated, huge profits can be made in the short term.

Thus, the Wen family, being the quickest to act, made their move.

The elders of the Wen family knew that their daughter had been somewhat unhappy recently upon hearing news about Luan Yenan. They initially wanted to handle it coldly, but with the current changes, they hinted that if she was still upset, she could go find her old flame.

They assumed Luan Yenan must have married an Omega without family backing because her reputation in the circle was ruined.

If Wen Qing went back to her, she would surely waver.

Even if she didn’t, the Luan family would.

Luo Yun had seized the investment opportunity, and the Wen family was already considering a marriage alliance to swallow the entire project.

This led to today’s drama on campus.

So Luan Yenan’s first reaction that Luo Yun couldn’t keep her mouth shut wasn’t wrong.

But it was understandable.

Business games are full of deceit, and leaking information to test the waters is just basic strategy.

The Wen family, with their official connections and quick access to information, acted swiftly.

This made others even more restless.

Even Luan Muyin received several meeting request calls today, but she had been too busy to handle them.

Luo Yun couldn’t sit still.

She texted Luan Yenan at noon, asking when she would be free.

Luan Yenan told her about registering a company and suggested meeting at the mall afterward.

Luo Yun, accompanied by Secretary Zhang, had been sitting in the mall’s office all afternoon. Upon hearing that Luan Yenan had gone to a jewelry store, she took the initiative to come over.

The timing was just right.

“Boss Luo.” the store clerk bowed to Luo Yun.

Luo Yun nodded in acknowledgment after being respectfully addressed.

Then she looked at Luan Yenan: “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“I’m still buying jewelry.” Luan Yenan replied, her gaze returning to the display case.

But all the seasonal items had been taken out, and there was nothing interesting left.

“I’ll have someone send it to your home, don’t worry about it.” Luo Yun seemed a bit impatient, but it wasn’t her fault.

After the Wen family made their move, several other families also bit the hook, wanting to get in touch with Luan Yenan.

She couldn’t let the opportunity slip away; she had to seize the initiative.

“That won’t do.” Zuo Baixuan refused.

Luo Yun looked at Zuo Baixuan.

She had been keeping an eye on the couple’s movements all day.

Naturally, she knew about Zuo Baixuan’s tactics against Lin Xiaoxiao yesterday and how Luan Yenan had dealt with Wen Qing this morning for Zuo Baixuan.

Luo Yun’s gaze now fell on Zuo Baixuan, convinced that this person wasn’t as harmless as she appeared.

“Living expenses are limited, we can’t be extravagant.” Zuo Baixuan admonished Luan Yenan, her tone so earnest, as if advising a child wanting to buy toys to understand the difficulty of earning money.

Luan Yenan’s eyes met Zuo Baixuan’s.

Zuo Baixuan raised an eyebrow.

Luan Yenan, receiving the signal, covered her uncontrollable smile with her right hand.

Pretending to be deep in thought, she pointed to one of the sets with her left hand: “The set I picked for you is indeed very nice, let’s keep it. I’ll look around some more on my side, these three sets…”

Ahhh!

This scene made Luo Yun’s scalp tingle.

If it weren’t for the patience she had cultivated over the years, she really wanted to grab Luan Yenan and leave right then.

She took a couple of deep breaths, suppressing the urge to drag Luan Yenan away and the urge to pull out a cigarette from her pocket to relieve the overwhelming pressure.

She wanted to curse in her heart, but didn’t even know where to start.

She never imagined that one day Luan Yenan would dawdle over such trivial jewelry. Nor did she expect Luan Yenan to first consider keeping a set for Zuo Baixuan.

Did Zuo Baixuan come from some place like Miaojiang and cast a spell on Luan Yenan?

When Luo Yun casually investigated Zuo Baixuan’s background yesterday, she already felt something was off.

Her adoptive parents seemed ordinary, but there was no specific information about her before she was adopted.

It was said that the institution that handled her paperwork had a fire shortly after completing her adoption, burning many documents, even the electronic files were lost.

This was suspicious.

Luo Yun’s gaze lingered on Zuo Baixuan without shifting.

Secretary Zhang, standing beside her, couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward, gently nudging Luo Yun, then said to the store clerk: “Charge these items to Boss Luo’s account and have them delivered to Ms. Luan’s home.”

Hearing this, Luan Yenan turned to look at Secretary Zhang.

If she remembered correctly, Luo Yun had never shared any private interactions with Secretary Zhang on social media, but in every promotional photo or caption related to work, Secretary Zhang was always present.

She was almost Luo Yun’s secret weapon in standing out among the many rich second generations.

She looked ordinary, but had an elegant demeanor and a good figure, dressed in a proper business suit, her hair neatly tied up.

Her appearance seemed quite young, but her attire was very mature, making it hard to guess her real age.

Secretary Zhang, seeing Luan Yenan actively observing her, didn’t show any discomfort. Instead, she immediately extended her hand and introduced herself: “Hello, Ms. Luan, I’m Zhang Wanjun, Secretary Luo’s secretary. Boss Luo entrusts many matters to me, but this is our first meeting, pleased to meet you.”

Inside the counter, the store clerk was already packing the items, and the store manager was processing the paperwork.

Luo Yun remained silent, tacitly approving her subordinate’s actions. She didn’t mind the few million spent; if Secretary Zhang thought it necessary, she had no objections.

Luan Yenan could tell that Zhang Wanjun’s words carried significant weight here.

She nodded expressionlessly, acknowledging the introduction, and lightly shook the extended hand.

Zhang Wanjun subtly shifted her gaze between Luan Yenan and Zuo Baixuan, capturing the slight change.

Luan Yenan’s aura seemed to have a double standard, distant and oppressive towards others, but not towards Zuo Baixuan.

This must be favoritism.

She finally settled her gaze on Zuo Baixuan: “Ms. Zuo, what would you like to eat tonight? We can arrange anything.”

Zuo Baixuan was momentarily puzzled by the question; shouldn’t it be up to Luo Yun and Luan Yenan to decide?

But upon seeing Zhang Wanjun’s friendly smile, she roughly understood her intention. She thought Luan Yenan was obedient to her.

Zuo Baixuan didn’t explain and, following Zhang Wanjun’s lead, chose a well-regarded Chinese restaurant.

They settled in a quiet private room at the Chinese restaurant.

After some casual conversation, the dishes were mostly served.

Luo Yun found an opening: “You went to register a company today, what’s the focus?”

Luan Yenan was sipping soup, glanced at Zuo Baixuan.

This was Luan Yenan’s habit; she didn’t like to be interrupted or to talk while drinking soup.

Zuo Baixuan answered truthfully: “E-commerce.”

“Does the business not involve finance?” This was unexpected for Luo Yun.

Zuo Baixuan, on the other hand, was puzzled why Luo Yun would ask this, could the project Luan Yenan presented to Luo Yun be related to finance.

Seeing Zuo Baixuan’s confused expression, Luo Yun turned to Luan Yenan: “Are you stupid? This is a big cake, if the prospects are good, wouldn’t it be more profitable to set up a trading website?”

Luan Yenan finished her last sip of soup, put down the spoon and bowl, and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

Luo Yun was almost driven to impatience by Luan Yenan’s slow and deliberate manner.

Finally, she got a reply: “I don’t have the capital to set up a fully functional trading website.”

Luo Yun clicked her tongue: “Are you dumb? You can let… me invest!”

Luo Yun almost said she could let the Luan family’s financial company invest.

But then she thought, if the Luan family got involved, there would be nothing left for her, so she changed her words at the last moment to herself.

Luan Yenan’s lips curled slightly, her eyes seemingly hiding a scheme.

Luo Yun, feeling somewhat uncertain under her gaze, turned to Zhang Wanjun for help.

It was then that Zhang Wanjun spoke up, “Miss Luan, we’ve seen your PPT. The core product of your project is the blockchain coin, but you don’t intend to keep the trading rights in your own hands. It’s hard for us to imagine what the core competitiveness of your project is.”

“Currently, the blockchain coin is open-source but holds no value. There are two ways to obtain it: either by mining it through computational power or by acquiring it from others, like the USB drive I gave Luo Yun yesterday.” Luan Yenan replied.

However, her words did not explain the core competitiveness of the project.

Nor did they clarify how transactions would be handled in the future.

Zuo Baixuan, listening nearby, widened her eyes.

Only then did she understand what Luan Yenan’s project was about.

Blockchain coin?

Just last night before bed, she had seen this new concept on a programmer forum, introduced by the renowned “Huanyu.”

She hadn’t had time to delve into it.

But it was predictable that the influence of “Huanyu” would eventually attract international attention.

Was Luan Yenan’s project about this?

Even before “Huanyu” announced it?

Luo Yun didn’t understand the technical aspects, so even after hearing Luan Yenan’s explanation, she couldn’t grasp it and could only ask the most direct question, “So, do you still want the investment or not?”

“Yes, but the answer is three hundred million.

Another three hundred million.

Zuo Baixuan’s gaze locked onto Luan Yenan.

Her seemingly erratic steps were not without method.

It’s just that others could only see one or two layers, while the fox lady had already planned everything from a higher perspective.

Zuo Baixuan stared intently at Luan Yenan, trying to use her lifelong skill of reading people to understand her.

But all she saw in Luan Yenan was calm and composure.

With an elusive mystery and captivating charm.

Like vodka.

Rich and intense.

Those who dislike it cannot accept its sharpness.

While those who love it cannot forget its allure.

Zuo Baixuan even recalled the sensation of vodka’s pheromones stimulating her glands, frowning slightly as Jiang Lingdan’s reminder flashed through her mind.

[Admiration, curiosity, that desire to explore, can all be the beginning of love.]

No, no.

It has nothing to do with that.

She just wanted to try to understand what was going on with Luan Yenan now.

“Hiss—” Hearing Luan Yenan suddenly make such a bold demand, Luo Yun couldn’t help but gasp.

Investing a few million was a game she could play around with. But three hundred million? Why not just rob a bank?

She could easily come up with a few million yesterday mainly because other rich kids backed her up.

But to actually come up with hundreds of millions in cash, she wouldn’t dare to mess around.

“Luan Yenan, are you serious? Three hundred million in cash, do you think anyone can just hand that over to you in the short term?”

“Then let me offer you another approach.” Luan Yenan said with a smile.

Like kicking away the fallen leaves disguising a trap, revealing it to a small animal.

Luo Yun saw the trap.

She wasn’t foolish and glanced at Zhang Wanjun beside her.

Zhang Wanjun led her to sit in front of the trap, ready to assess whether the cake inside was worth the risk: “Let’s hear it.”

…

Because dinner started early, by the time it ended, it was only a little past eight.

Zuo Baixuan, who had been sitting quietly on the side, felt utterly exhausted, as if she had just walked out of a new world.

Throughout the meal, she had been listening to Luan Yenan speak with such ease and calmness, a demeanor that couldn’t simply be described as a “change.”

It was more like the result of years of accumulated strength.

Unless she was a born capitalist.

Otherwise, the feeling of having everything under control couldn’t have emerged overnight.

Honestly, she hadn’t even seen this kind of temperament in Luan Muyin.

Zuo Baixuan remained silent, quietly taking her seat in the passenger side.

Luan Yenan glanced at her from the corner of her eye, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips, but she too said nothing.

The two returned home in silence.

As soon as Zuo Baixuan entered and the heavy door closed securely behind them, she turned to face Luan Yenan.

Luan Yenan’s hand was on the light switch, but before she could flip it, she was pushed back.

They stood in the dark foyer.

Zuo Baixuan cornered Luan Yenan, trying to pry out the secrets hidden within this person.

For a moment, it seemed like the roles had reversed.

The threatening Alpha had become the target of the Omega’s attack.

Zuo Baixuan spoke up, “Luan Yenan, what kind of person are you really?”

In the darkness, the air seemed to shift.

It was Luan Yenan laughing.

Luan Yenan had been waiting for Zuo Baixuan to realize that the dangerous, scummy Alpha had long been replaced.

But she didn’t want Zuo Baixuan to let her guard down because of it.

After all, the replacement wasn’t exactly a good person either.

This was just a puzzle she had set for Zuo Baixuan, a little game to pass the time.

And now, it was clear that the little white flower, after noticing all the inconsistencies, had pondered various possibilities but still hadn’t found the answer.

Luan Yenan was now curious about how the little white flower would react if she knew that she wasn’t dealing with the reckless, scummy Alpha, but a more dangerous lunatic, the real her.

Luan Yenan took a step forward, closing the distance between them in the dark, “You’re the closest person to me now, shouldn’t you know best what kind of person I am?”

Unexpectedly, Zuo Baixuan didn’t back down, standing her ground firmly, “I don’t know. You seem like a completely different person, not like the rumors, not like the person who forced me into marriage. But I don’t know the source of this change. Outsiders think you’ve changed for me, your love-at-first-sight Omega, but only I know that’s not the case.”

“Can’t say it’s entirely not the case either.” Luan Yenan’s voice lowered as she placed her left hand on the back of Zuo Baixuan’s neck.

Just a light touch, no pressure, but it pressed against the scent patch.

Zuo Baixuan’s body trembled slightly, tilting her head back with the motion.

Even in the dark, she seemed to see Luan Yenan’s smile. As she quickly closed the distance between them, she caught a whiff of the faint scent of vodka from Luan Yenan’s breath.

Her heat was nearing its end, and the slight pheromones wouldn’t affect her much, but her heart raced nonetheless.

She didn’t understand Luan Yenan’s meaning.

What did “can’t say it’s entirely not the case” mean?

Did she really fall for me at first sight?

Did she really change because of me?

Luan Yenan sensed the chaotic pheromones in the air.

Even in the dark, unable to see Zuo Baixuan’s expression, she found it amusing.

The little white flower must be flustered, overthinking, turning herself into a little red flower.

It’s a pity not to see it.

As Luan Yenan reached out with her right hand towards the light switch on the wall, she asked another question, “There’s also the possibility that I really have become a different person?”

“Huh?” This answer only confused Zuo Baixuan more, even leading her to wonder if this person had multiple personalities.

“Have you ever heard the saying: Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth [1]. You’ve considered all possibilities, but because you thought it was too far-fetched from the start, you ruled out the correct answer—that I really am a different person, from another world…” Luan Yenan said.

A discomfort as if something was stuck in her throat stopped her from continuing.

Along with an abnormality at the back of her neck, a surge of heat from deep within her glands unleashed uncontrollable pheromones.

Dizziness assaulted Luan Yenan.

Pheromones out of control?

Luan Yenan’s muscles stiffened, sensing something was wrong.

This wasn’t just a simple case of pheromones going haywire.

Her entire body seemed to lose control again, her vision filled with a blinding white light. Just like the day she suddenly lost consciousness and crossed over.

Was she going to experience it again?

If she left once more, where would she end up this time?

If she left, would the original owner return? What would they do to Zuo Baixuan?

No!

Nothing could be allowed.

Even the mere thought of it was unacceptable to Luan Yenan.

She couldn’t accept the idea of someone with her appearance living in the same space as Zuo Baixuan, possessing the little white flower’s smile, or even destroying it all.

Luan Yenan frowned. If it were to be destroyed, it should be by her own hands, not left to the original owner.

If leaving would lead to such an outcome, she might as well perish together with the original owner.

Holding onto her last shred of consciousness, she released her grip on Zuo Baixuan’s neck and flipped on the foyer light.

Zuo Baixuan froze, tense from Luan Yenan’s abrupt halt.

Click.

The light came on.

Zuo Baixuan thought Luan Yenan had given up halfway through her joke.

But instead, she found Luan Yenan not laughing but staring at her seriously, her eyes as if trying to see through her.

The Alpha’s possessiveness towards the Omega was evident in her gaze.

Then the scent of vodka filled the enclosed foyer.

Zuo Baixuan took a deep breath, then quickly held it, her heart pounding, bl00d rushing, the gland under her scent patch itching uncomfortably.

What madness is Luan Yenan up to now!

Zuo Baixuan knew if she stayed here any longer, she would inevitably turn into a soft, helpless Omega, at the mercy of this powerful Alpha.

Flushed with surprise, she pushed Luan Yenan away, “I thought you had changed, but you’re still the same! Get away from me!”

She needed to escape to her room before her heat was triggered.

She would lock the door and retrieve the fruit knife hidden in her bedside drawer, ready to fight this out-of-control madwoman to the death.

Bang—!

A loud thud.

Before Zuo Baixuan could reach her room, Luan Yenan lost consciousness and collapsed to the floor, her hands clutching the back of her neck.

The vodka scent filled the air, but Zuo Baixuan noticed something was off; the pheromone concentration wasn’t increasing but decreasing.

She recalled Luan Muyin and Luan Xing constantly mentioning Luan Yenan’s abnormal pheromones.

The change in pheromone scent was strange enough.

Now, there was a sudden surge and then cessation of pheromones, and the person had fainted.

This was bad.

“Luan Yenan!”

“Luan Yenan, you can’t die!”

Zuo Baixuan quickly dialed for an ambulance.

Simultaneously, she slapped Luan Yenan’s face.

But Luan Yenan’s body was cold, muscles stiff, hands tightly pressing against her neck, mumbling something about “can’t.”

“Yes, you can’t die! If you die, who’s going to pay off all that debt?!” Zuo Baixuan grabbed Luan Yenan’s hand, pulling away the scent patch, trying to let her release the pheromones.

Lying on the ground, Luan Yenan, in her daze, heard Zuo Baixuan’s words and couldn’t help but smile.

Right, if she left just like that, she’d leave a pile of debt for the little miser.

She couldn’t leave.

Couldn’t leave.

“Luan Yenan, wake up!!!”

The vodka scent in the air grew fainter, and Luan Yenan’s body temperature dropped lower.

Zuo Baixuan panicked.

She had read about some special cases of pheromone abnormalities where the pheromones, trapped in the glands, would attack the body like cancer cells.

She actively removed her own scent patch, willing to use herself as a trigger if necessary!

Zuo Baixuan thought she must be crazy.

One moment ready to fight to the death, the next willing to induce her heat for this madwoman.

Why go to such lengths for her?

In the air, the scents of vanilla and vodka silently intertwined, calm yet mad, madness hiding secrets.

Author’s note:

Destined not to let each other go.
