Transmigrating Before The Crazy Beauty Scum A Loses Control - Chapter 77

After attending the bidding meeting, Luan Yenan left the company and headed straight to Luosheng International Racing Circuit. She had agreed with Luo Yun to participate in an amateur race scheduled for the afternoon. After a quick lunch, she made her way to the racing circuit.

Invited guests and ticket holders were already seated in the stands, getting increasingly excited by the pre-race activities and warm-up events Luo Yun had prepared.

Amidst the bustling crowd, the VIP lounge was also packed with people.

The moment Luan Yenan stepped out of the elevator, someone in the lounge noticed her arrival.

“President Luan is here!” someone exclaimed.

The treatment she received now was a world apart from what it had been a few months ago.

However, Luan Yenan’s demeanor remained unchanged. She paid no attention to the attention she was getting, casually handling a few messages on her phone as she walked toward Luo Yun.

Among the messages, the only one that caught her attention was from Chen Huanyu, which contained just a single space. Chen Huanyu was usually a woman of few words, but this time, she didn’t even send a single word—just a space.

Luan Yenan couldn’t decipher what a single space was supposed to mean, so she put her phone away and looked up at Luo Yun.

Luo Yun was smoking, exhaling clouds of smoke. When she saw Luan Yenan approaching, she politely extinguished her cigarette.

The last time Luan Yenan had seen Luo Yun was at a bell-ringing ceremony. Back then, Luo Yun had been dressed in a formal women’s suit, with a bare face except for a bold red lipstick, looking like a soul forced into a puppet’s body.

Today, however, was different. Luo Yun was back to her favorite smoky eye makeup, a look in which she truly felt like herself.

Leaning against the railing, Luo Yun confidently raised her hand to greet Luan Yenan.

Luan Yenan walked over and glanced around. “Has Si Ruxin not arrived yet?”

“Wasn’t Si Ruxin your invite? Shouldn’t you be the one picking her up? Why are you asking me?” Luo Yun retorted loudly.

Ears perked up around them.

Luan Yenan simply took out her phone. “I’ll ask her where she is.”

“I told you, she wouldn’t care. Even if I were kidnapped, she’d probably just ask how much ransom they wanted, just to judge if the kidnappers’ demands were reasonable.” Si Ruxin said, draped in a luxurious mink coat, looking every bit the aristocrat.

“Judging by that outfit, asking for 20 million for your ransom wouldn’t be unreasonable.” Luan Yenan remarked, glancing at Si Ruxin before putting her phone away.

“Tsk, you always think the worst of me. This is faux fur!” Si Ruxin took two steps closer to Luan Yenan, deliberately shoving her sleeve toward her for inspection.

Luan Yenan wasn’t interested.

Si Ruxin continued to press closer, pulling out a sticky note from her hand. “Here.”

Luan Yenan looked down and saw a simple sketch on the note, clearly a drawing of herself.

It was somewhat amusing.

She had always heard that Si Ruxin was a talented designer and artist, but this was the first time she had seen her work.

This was how Si Ruxin saw her—stoic, with the calculating eyes of a businesswoman.

Seeing Luan Yenan’s interest in the drawing, Si Ruxin pulled her hand back, pressed the sticky note to her lips, leaving a distinct lipstick mark on the paper.

She then handed the note back to Luan Yenan, her flirtation now blatantly obvious.

Luan Yenan looked up.

She noticed people around them taking photos.

But she remained composed and accepted the note.

This surprised Si Ruxin. “What’s going on? You’re not rejecting me today?”

“Whether I reject you or not, in the eyes of those who love to gossip, the outcome is the same.” Luan Yenan said, sticking the note onto the railing.

She had accepted it, allowed the photos to be taken, but the lipstick-marked note remained unclaimed.

“Well, thank you for that.” Si Ruxin said, leaning against the railing with a radiant smile.

Luan Yenan didn’t look at her, simply replying, “Likewise.”

Luo Yun watched them with a puzzled expression.

What was going on between these two?

She knew for a fact that the rumors circulating in their group chats had no basis in reality, but she couldn’t figure out what their relationship actually was. If it wasn’t the messy entanglement everyone speculated about, then what was it?

Looking at the lonely sticky note on the railing, Luo Yun leaned closer to Luan Yenan. “Are you doing this on purpose? Stirring up rumors with Si Ruxin?”

“Even if I avoided her completely, those gossip groups would just say, ‘They’re hiding it well.'” Luan Yenan indirectly confirmed Luo Yun’s suspicion.

Luo Yun nodded.

That was true.

By interacting so openly, the rumors about them would reach a peak, but soon enough, the gossipers would lose interest.

After all, ever since Luo Yun saw Luan Yenan and Si Ruxin together in person, she had lost interest. It was far more entertaining to watch Luan Yenan with her wife.

“Whatever, it’s boring staying here. Let’s head to the pit lane.” Luo Yun suggested.

“You’re just going to leave me here alone? That’s a bit rude.” Si Ruxin complained, feigning offense at the hosts’ behavior.

“Not at all. Everyone here would love to get to know you. They’d love to meet Luan Yenan too, but she has a race to prepare for.” Luo Yun reassured Si Ruxin.

Si Ruxin was just teasing. After hearing Luo Yun’s response, she glanced at Luan Yenan and sat down at a round table. “Go ahead, I’ll wait for the race.”

Luan Yenan scanned the room.

Almost everyone was looking at her with anticipation, except for a group of four at a square table, who were keeping their heads down.

Wasn’t that Bao Xinglong and his friends?

This was the first time Luan Yenan had seen them outside of school.

But judging by their timid demeanor, they were probably just trying to network and meet people before officially graduating.

To Luan Yenan, these people were insignificant. There was no need to crush them or drive them away.

She looked away and followed Luo Yun downstairs.

The hallway was getting chilly.

A nearby assistant, quick on their feet, brought two cups of hot water to warm them up.

Luo Yun took the cup and gulped it down, feeling the warmth spread through her body.

Luan Yenan also took the cup but only took a small sip, holding it in her hands.

If she was going to race later, maintaining the temperature in her hands was crucial.

The assistant understood her concern and said, “I’ll get you a hot water bottle.”

Luan Yenan nodded but didn’t finish the water, not wanting to risk a bathroom break.

“Luan Yenan.” Wang Tao, dressed in a racing suit, approached and blocked her path.

Luo Yun frowned.

She remembered the last race between Wang Tao and Luan Yenan. After that, Wang Tao had been in a slump for a while before throwing himself into training. His recent performance had been close to professional level, and he was on the verge of being promoted to the main team.

As the team owner, Luo Yun hoped Wang Tao wouldn’t do anything reckless that could ruin his career and cost her the investment she had made in him.

She was also worried that Luan Yenan might be upset seeing Wang Tao still in the team and now coming to confront her.

“Wang Tao, shouldn’t you be testing the car? Why are you here?” Luo Yun tried to intercept him.

Wang Tao replied earnestly, “Boss, I’m calm and rational now. Since the last race, I’ve actually been grateful to Luan… President Luan. I just want to have a quick word with her, and then I’ll leave.”

Seeing Wang Tao’s sincerity, Luo Yun glanced at Luan Yenan to gauge her reaction.

Luan Yenan nodded, placed her cup on a nearby table, and followed Wang Tao to the side.

Wang Tao didn’t beat around the bush. “The day after Boss Luo informed us that you’d be participating in the amateur race, I received an anonymous text. It told me to sabotage your car. They even offered to cover it up for me. That way, I could get revenge and earn a ‘block coin’ to start a new life.”

Luan Yenan was surprised.

Not that someone wanted to sabotage her, but that Wang Tao would tell her about it.

After speaking, Wang Tao seemed relieved and smiled. “Even though I’m just a small fry, I’m working hard to improve myself. I wouldn’t resort to such underhanded tactics. Besides, whoever wants to harm you probably doesn’t know how much you know about cars. It wouldn’t be easy for me to tamper with your car.”

Wang Tao was both warning and thanking Luan Yenan.

He was grateful for the advice Luan Yenan had casually given him, which had changed the course of his life.

However, Luan Yenan frowned.

Seeing her expression change, Wang Tao grew nervous.

Luan Yenan had become quite famous recently, a representative of young entrepreneurs. Surely, she wouldn’t hold a grudge just because he had received a threatening message?

“President Luan, I was wrong to be so petty before. I didn’t get a chance to apologize or thank you, but now I’m sincere…”

Luan Yenan leaned against the wall.

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead despite the cold wind.

Wang Tao was startled. This didn’t look like anger—it looked more like she was sick, had eaten something bad, or something else…

Wang Tao froze.

Luo Yun, standing further away, was the first to notice something was wrong.

An overwhelming wave of pheromones surrounded them, so potent that even the chilly hallway air couldn’t disperse it.

Luo Yun held her breath, but her senses were still overwhelmed by the intense, alcohol-like scent of a top-tier Alpha’s pheromones.

She felt as if she were drowning in a pool of strong liquor, struggling to breathe.

The few Omega staff members in the pit lane also sensed the pheromones and immediately collapsed, their legs giving out.

They had never encountered pheromones of this intensity before.

It was terrifying!

The pheromones, while arousing primal instincts, also instilled fear.

Luo Yun quickly stepped back and shouted, “Wang Tao, go get the team doctor!”

She then turned to a nearby mechanic and said, “Call an ambulance. Tell them we have a top-tier Alpha experiencing pheromone dysregulation, highly aggressive, and difficult to control. Hurry!”

“Yes!”

Several Beta employees, who couldn’t sense pheromones, were alarmed by Luo Yun’s near-suffocation and the Omegas’ flushed faces in the middle of winter.

The scene quickly descended into chaos.

Wang Tao rushed to the team doctor’s office.

In his panic, he knocked over a table, scattering its contents across the floor.

A cup of half-drunk water spilled onto some data sheets, but no one had time to deal with it.

Luan Yenan, leaning against the wall, was supported by two Betas. The color drained from her face, and her body grew cold.

Fortunately, this was a racing circuit, where accidents were always a concern. Luo Yun had made thorough preparations, ensuring that a team doctor and an ambulance were on standby during every race.

It took only five minutes for the team doctor to arrive after Luan Yenan’s pheromones went haywire, and ten minutes for the ambulance to show up.

The team doctor managed to suppress the rampant pheromones while Luo Yun retrieved Luan Yenan’s phone and unlocked it using her fingerprint.

She quickly called Luan Yenan’s mother.

After listening to Luo Yun’s explanation, Luan Muyin took a deep breath and said, “Luo Yun, Yenan’s mother and I are still out of town. I’ll have to entrust Yenan to you for now. Please take her to the hospital. I’ll arrange for a room and have doctors on standby. I’ll also ask her grandfather to come.”

“Understood.” Luo Yun replied.

The ambulance confirmed the destination, and Luo Yun accompanied Luan Yenan, worried that something might happen to her on her watch.

She also quickly contacted Zhang Wanjun.

After everything was settled, they arrived at the hospital.

Luo Yun remembered to call Zuo Baixuan on Luan Yenan’s behalf.

…

When Zuo Baixuan received Luo Yun’s call, her mind went blank.

For a moment, it felt as if all the bl00d had drained from her heart to the top of her skull. Zuo Baixuan felt cold all over, her limbs frozen.

Jiang Lingdan, who was with her, reacted first. She took the phone, asked for the hospital’s address, and helped Zuo Baixuan to her feet.

Realizing they didn’t have a car and that taxis were hard to come by in this area, Jiang Lingdan grabbed the first person she saw at the company.

Kan Yanghui, unaware of what was happening, volunteered.

Jiang Lingdan agreed.

As they drove to the hospital, Jiang Lingdan tried to comfort Zuo Baixuan. “She’ll be fine, try to relax.”

But Zuo Baixuan was tense, covering her ears.

[“Grandpa will be fine.”]

[“Grandma will be fine.”]

[“Your mom will be fine.”]

They’ll be fine.

She had heard these words too many times.

But she had never been lucky. She didn’t even dare to listen to such reassurances.

In this moment of potential loss, Zuo Baixuan realized just how important Luan Yenan was to her.

If something really happened to Luan Yenan, even if she completed her plans, she wouldn’t be happy. She would carry the guilt for the rest of her life, burdened by even heavier chains, and might even follow Luan Yenan into the afterlife, as there would be nothing left to live for.

Zuo Baixuan hugged her head, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Jiang Lingdan quickly grabbed her hands, stopping herself from saying more.

Kan Yanghui, driving the car, saw their distress and guessed what might be happening. He stepped on the gas, speeding toward the hospital.

When they arrived, they rushed to the VIP lounge.

Luo Yun and Zhang Wanjun were sitting inside.

Both looked grim.

Zuo Baixuan’s heart sank. She couldn’t bring herself to take another step, afraid to hear bad news.

The lounge was bathed in the warm afternoon sunlight.

But to Zuo Baixuan, everything felt dark and cold, sending shivers down her spine.

Time seemed to stand still. No one had the strength to move.

Kan Yanghui, the least involved in the situation, took a step forward and cleared his throat. “Ms. Luo, you’re here too.”

Luo Yun finally noticed Zuo Baixuan’s arrival.

Seeing how pale Zuo Baixuan looked, she quickly stood up to reassure her. “Ms. Zuo, there’s no need to worry too much. Luan Yenan’s grandfather and both her mothers are here. This hospital has private shares owned by her grandfather, and the gland specialists here are very familiar with him. They’ll take good care of Luan Yenan. The nurse just informed us that although she’s still in surgery, her pheromones are under control.”

“Oh my God, so it’s under control? But you both looked so grim earlier, I thought…” Jiang Lingdan blurted out on Zuo Baixuan’s behalf.

Luo Yun covered her face. “No, it’s just that Ms. Zhang and I were discussing whether this incident would affect the stock price. I need some funds urgently, and I was considering selling some shares. But at a time like this, if I reduce my holdings, it would seem disloyal.”

Hearing Luo Yun talk about stocks, Zuo Baixuan finally snapped out of it. “Ah Nan was hospitalized due to pheromone dysregulation?”

“Yes, pheromone disorder. It was terrifying. It felt like I was drowning in a pool of alcohol.” Luo Yun exaggerated.

Zuo Baixuan let out a sigh of relief, feeling some strength and warmth return to her body.

“See, I told you there was nothing to worry about. She’ll be fine.” Jiang Lingdan said, patting Zuo Baixuan’s shoulder and urging her to sit down.

But Zuo Baixuan remained silent for a moment.

What she feared was that someone might harm Luan Yenan.

If it was just pheromone dysregulation, was it really a coincidence?

She muttered to herself, “But why did it happen today, of all days?”

Seeing Zuo Baixuan still worried, Luo Yun quickly changed the subject. “By the way, I haven’t had a chance to ask Luan Yenan yet. How did the ‘Smart Life’ bidding go today?”

Jiang Lingdan, who had returned after the bidding, didn’t know.

Zuo Baixuan lowered her head, showing no intention of answering.

The topic hung awkwardly in the air.

Kan Yanghui couldn’t stand it and spoke up. “It went quite smoothly. The Qin family didn’t give us any trouble. The news has already been posted on the official website. We should be able to sign the contract in a couple of days, and there will be a small press conference and celebration ceremony in a few days. So, you don’t need to sell your shares. They’ll definitely go up.”

Listening to Kan Yanghui, Zuo Baixuan’s eyes narrowed, her expression turning resolute.

That’s right, in a few days, everything would be settled.

Jiang Lingdan watched the changes in Zuo Baixuan’s expression, stunned. Why did she suddenly look so determined yet crazed?

The expression looked familiar…

It reminded her of Luan Yenan whenever she was about to make a ruthless move.

If she hadn’t seen how distraught Zuo Baixuan was upon hearing that Luan Yenan was in the hospital, she might have suspected that Zuo Baixuan had something to do with it.

“The surgery for patient Luan Yenan is over. She’s been moved to the VIP ward upstairs.” a nurse informed them.

Luo Yun let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Let’s go see her.”

Zuo Baixuan walked over to Luo Yun and said earnestly, “Ms. Luo, if you want to reduce your holdings, that’s fine. I can fully acquire the portion you wish to sell.”

“Ah, really? I do have an urgent need, but it’s not to that extent. Are you trying to prevent me from profiting from the rise in your stock price after signing the contract with the Qin family?” Without the concern for Luan Yenan’s health, Luo Yun, the joker, started to make jokes again.

Zuo Baixuan shook her head lightly, “No, it’s just that the rise and fall of stock prices are unpredictable. Isn’t that right?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yun’s expression changed. She looked at Zuo Baixuan with a strange feeling, sensing a certain pressure from her.

Zuo Baixuan had always appeared with Luan Yenan before, which diminished her own presence and hid her aura under Luan Yenan’s, so it wasn’t noticeable.

Now, without Luan Yenan around, this person, who is just a graduating student this year, made Luo Yun feel somewhat subtle.

She looked towards Zhang Wanjun.

Zhang Wanjun pretended not to know that Luo Yun was observing her friend’s Omega, and just suggested with a cold face, “I still hold my original opinion, to reduce holdings first, after all, we really need the money urgently. And the stock price of ‘Yituan’ may not necessarily rise in the short term after signing the contract with the Qin family.

“On one hand, as the stock market often says, the end of good news is bad news. On the other hand, during this period, ‘Yituan’ as a new stock has concentrated everyone’s expectations and has hit the limit up too many times in a row, this situation is hard to sustain, plus… the Qin family might also take action.”

Luo Yun felt a headache listening to this and dismissed it, “Alright, alright, I’m not a novice in stocks, I understand all this. I just simply feel that it’s a pity to let go of ‘Yituan’ stocks like this.”

As they chatted, they arrived in front of Luan Yenan’s hospital room.

They were stopped by two bodyguards.

“The doctor said that President Luan needs to rest and is not suitable for visits, please stop here.”

“I am her wife, I want to see how she is doing.” Zuo Baixuan said to the two bodyguards.

But the bodyguards were clearly following orders and did not move, still blocking the way.

Thud—thud—thud—

The sound of a cane hitting the floor drew everyone’s attention.

The figure of Luan Lizheng, old in age but not in spirit, appeared before everyone.

Even those who had never seen him before could guess his identity from his appearance, attire, and demeanor.

His words were sharp, “Are you perhaps trying to harm her? And you are only her legal wife for now, it’s not certain that you will be recognized later. Zuo Baixuan, why don’t you think about whether you are still worthy of being her wife?”

These words were infuriating, and Jiang Lingdan was the first to not hold back, “Old Mr. Luan, aren’t your words a bit too harsh? It’s not Zuo Baixuan’s fault for not taking good care of Luan Yenan! We also arrived as soon as possible. And it was Luan Yenan who begged Zuo Baixuan to marry her in the first place, whether she is worthy or not is not for you to decide, right? Does the world really only look at family background now?”

“Hmph, I can overlook family background, but I ask you, Zuo Baixuan, why did you give the internal information of the bidding meeting to the Qin family?” Luan Lizheng asked sharply.

This question stunned everyone.

What?

Is there such a slanderous accusation?

Everyone looked at Zuo Baixuan.

But they found that Zuo Baixuan did not refute.

Jiang Lingdan was shocked.

Wait, wait.

What kind of extreme twist is this, was it because of this that Luan Yenan asked her senior to investigate Little Zuoer?

And the series of strange checked plans on Little Zuoer’s notebook, with the last line saying “divorce” was also because of this.

Is Zuo Baixuan a corporate spy?!

What?

Jiang Lingdan felt her worldview shatter.
