After Agreeing to Go on a Parenting Show With My Omega Ex-Girlfriend – Chapter 2

What is the concept of a hundred million?

What should you do if you’ve been cheated on?

Before transmigrating into the book, Qi Song had no relationship experience, let alone considered this question.

But at the very least, after realizing Yu Luo’s betrayal, the woman’s credibility in her heart plummeted to zero, and any good feelings she had were nearly obliterated.

She even began to suspect, was there an element of calculation on Yu Luo’s part in what had just happened?

Otherwise, how could Yu Luo have happened to come looking for her right when the debt collectors showed up, appearing at the most critical moment.

“Why are you here?”

Qi Song questioned with a cool voice.

Yu Luo’s gaze swept over that mistrustful expression, and the smile on her lips suddenly vanished.

She was silent for a moment before letting out a nearly inaudible, soft sigh. “Let’s sit and talk.”

Although dressed elegantly and properly, she paid no mind to the old, dilapidated sofa and sat down.

Taotao was about to sit with Yu Luo, but her eyes lit up when she spotted a small peach sculpture in the corner of the living room, and she toddled over.

She didn’t reach out to touch it, only staring with wide, round eyes, observing it with full concentration.

Unintentionally, she gave them space to talk.

Qi Song sat down on the other sofa.

“You suspect me.”

Yu Luo gazed at Qi Song, speaking unhurriedly but with great certainty.

“You think I knew in advance they were coming, so I deliberately came out at the critical moment to save you, to make you grateful and indebted, and thereby coerce you.”

Qi Song gave her a very faint smile. “Isn’t that the case?”

Yu Luo lowered her lashes.

A moment later, a self-deprecating chuckle escaped her throat.

She extended her left hand, opening her palm for Qi Song to see, her voice tinged with a subtle sense of grievance and resentment:

“Yes, not only did I direct and act in this play myself, I accidentally got a little too into character.”

The palm that should have been fair and flawless was now stained with blood, and a cold sweat seeped from between her fingers.

Because of this continuous cold sweat, the wounds couldn’t form scabs, their edges red and swollen, a shocking sight.

How nervous and panicked must she have been to clench her hand so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palm?

A wave of pity inexplicably rose in Qi Song’s heart, but she quickly suppressed it, averting her gaze from the hand, her expression still indifferent.

This Omega can’t possibly think she can prove her innocence just by playing the victim, can she?

But then she saw Yu Luo push her hand forward, making a gesture of asking for something—

“However, since you don’t believe me…”

Her eyes held a meaningful smile. “You can just return the three million to me now.”

“……” Qi Song froze.

If she had three million right now, would she have just had a knife pointed at her nose by a creditor?

As expected, this woman had calculated everything from the start and, more importantly, understood how to control her.

Seeing that she couldn’t produce the money, Yu Luo’s fine brows furrowed slightly, as if worried. “Can’t pay it back?”

“It’s alright,” she said considerately after a moment’s thought. “I have another option here.”

Yu Luo took a contract out of her bag and handed it to Qi Song, saying, “I came today for a parent-child variety show that’s about to start filming.”

“I want to take the child on this show, but I’m missing an Alpha, so I need your help.”

Perhaps concerned about the child playing nearby, she phrased it a bit vaguely, but Qi Song understood immediately.

A parent-child variety show needs an Alpha; didn’t that just mean she needed her to play the child’s other mom and act out a happy family of three?

Outrageous. Simply too outrageous.

So this Omega not only cheated on people but also strong-armed them, trying to force her to admire this green hat every single day!

Qi Song clenched the thin paper in her hand, let out a cold laugh, and lowered her voice on account of the child, speaking through gritted teeth:

“Isn’t this just humiliating me, Miss Yu?”

Faced with her question, Yu Luo’s expression didn’t change as she added lightly, “There’s compensation. A hundred million.”

Qi Song froze.

A hundred million.

A hundred million could pay off all the original owner’s debts and still leave her with plenty of capital to make a comeback.

She didn’t understand. What on earth was this Omega after?

There were thousands upon thousands of Alphas in the world, yet Yu Luo specifically chose her cheated-on ex and was even willing to splash out a hundred million. This was clearly illogical.

Qi Song thought to herself that there had to be a catch, and with strong suspicion, she scanned the contract in her hands.

The parent-child variety show had a total of six seasons, spanning three months. During this period, Qi Song had to act as a loving couple with Yu Luo.

That is to say, not only did they need to create the illusion of a happy, perfect family of three on the show, but they also had to live together off-camera to avoid the media catching them living separately.

This requirement wasn’t demanding at all.

To get a hundred million so easily, there was clearly another huge pitfall waiting. And what kind of pitfall would be worth a hundred million? Qi Song was certain she absolutely couldn’t afford to fall into it.

Yu Luo didn’t seem to intend to explain, and Qi Song couldn’t risk exposing that she wasn’t the original owner by asking.

So after reading it, she handed the contract back to Yu Luo without hesitation. “Find someone else. I’ll return the three million to you as soon as possible—”

“Then do it before tomorrow.” Yu Luo didn’t take it back, only curving her lips into a faint smile, looking so gentle and magnanimous.

“I won’t force you. Three million or the contract, you’re free to choose. Just give me one of them before tomorrow.”

After speaking, she didn’t linger, getting up and taking Taotao’s hand to leave breezily.

Before leaving, Taotao even politely waved to Qi Song and said, “Bye-bye, Auntie,” earning a praise-filled head rub from Yu Luo.

Through the broken wooden door, Qi Song watched the mother and daughter’s figures disappear into the dilapidated stairwell.

Her gaze fell back on the contract, and she took a deep breath.

What the hell is all this!

So I transmigrated into a book, and it’s bad enough I don’t have a golden finger¹ or a system, but to start off with violent debt collection followed by getting a green hat slammed on my head, isn’t this too ridiculous?

Now her life was temporarily saved, but she owed her cheating ex-girlfriend three million.

A person can be without money, but not without principles.

She would rather thicken her skin and borrow money from friends to pay Yu Luo back than knowingly accept support from a cheater.

Qi Song quickly made her decision and started calling the original owner’s friends.

From her memories of the past two years, the original owner seemed to be a very proud person who shouldered her hardships alone and never asked friends for help.

But the current situation was forcing her hand; she couldn’t afford to be so particular anymore.

Qi Song dialed them one by one.

However, after several calls, three people directly rejected the call, two mocked her, and one cried poor.

Right now, Qi Song was talking to the friend who was crying poor, Shen Han².

Shen Han: “Wuwu, it’s not like you don’t know, I’ve been unemployed for so long, even feeding myself is a problem now. If you’re really in trouble, I can grit my teeth and fork over ten yuan to let you have a good meal.”

Qi Song’s heart trembled. “…No, you keep that ten yuan and eat well.”

Shen Han: “Sigh, who would have thought. You were doing so well two years ago, all sweet with your girlfriend, and now you’re even worse off than me. What kind of terrible luck did you run into?”

Qi Song’s ears perked up, and she cautiously probed, “My girlfriend…?”

Shen Han: “You’re still hung up on her, aren’t you? Actually, I can understand. You two were so sweet back then, I was so envious of you two, a divine couple.”

Shen Han sighed. “Who knew people’s hearts could change so easily? She said she didn’t love you anymore, just like that.”

Qi Song was curious. “Back then, she…”

Shen Han: “The kind of unconditional tolerance and love she had back then, how many people in the world have that? So I’m not going to try to talk you out of it if you still can’t move on.”

Qi Song decided to lead Shen Han into revealing more details. “Actually, the reason I called you to borrow money today was to pay her back.”

Shen Han was shocked. “Huh? What’s the situation between you two?”

Qi Song recounted how she was rescued after being violently pursued by debt collectors today. “She said I either pay her back three million or go on a kid’s variety show with her.”

Shen Han shrieked through the phone: “Damn, Qi Song, you even had a kid behind my back! So Yu Luo has been out of the spotlight for so long because she was off giving birth to your child?”

Qi Song paused, then added, “It’s not mine, and the child is already three years old.”

Shen Han: “…F#ck, then what’s the point of going! Get a grip, you can lose your head, you can bleed, but you can’t tolerate the green hat!”

She was still cursing, “I can’t believe Yu Luo is so sanctimonious, we were all fooled. What kind of time management master is she, being so considerate to you on one hand while having the time to have a kid behind your back?”

Qi Song: “Tell me about it. She also said if I go on the show, she’ll give me a hundred million.”

The other end of the line suddenly went silent.

Qi Song thought the receiver was broken and tentatively said “hello” twice before finally hearing her friend’s faint sigh. –

Shen Han asked, “Why don’t you ask her for me if the show is still looking for a Beta? The three of us would make a perfect ABO lineup, and with a kid, how eye-catching would that be!”

Qi Song: “……”

Shen Han spoke earnestly, “Think bigger. Actually, love is just a small concept created by humans, and so is betrayal. But what’s the concept of a hundred million? It’s a concept that scorns all other concepts.”

Shen Han: “What I mean is, if you agree, not only do you become a mom without the pain, but you also get a hundred million and get to see the unforgettable great beauty every day. What’s there to be unsatisfied about? If there is, I’m willing to bear it for you, just remember to give her my phone number…”

During Shen Han’s passionate speech on the theme of “a hundred million,” Qi Song found a chance to hang up the phone.

She rubbed her temples, finally understanding why the original owner had never asked her friends for help.

It wasn’t just pride; her friends were truly unreliable.

But actually, thinking about it calmly, the words were crude, but the reasoning wasn’t wrong. The suggestions weren’t without merit.

Since she had transmigrated, she had first been hounded by multiple creditors over the phone, and then someone had shown up at her door with a knife, wanting to take her down with them.

In just a few short hours, she had truly experienced what it meant to be in deep water and scorching fire³.

And right now, she couldn’t come up with three million to pay the money back at all. What right did she have to refuse the cooperative proposal Yu Luo had made?

Under the life-threatening pressure of her debts, emotional entanglements seemed shallow, and acting on impulse was even more inadvisable.

All things considered, this collaboration was like an arrow on the bowstring, ready to be fired⁴.

Is there really no other way to go?

Qi Song scrolled through her phone for a long time; the original owner didn’t even have her family’s contact information.

As she was scrolling, a notification message for overdue utility bills suddenly popped up at the top of her phone screen.

Qi Song stared at the notice, had an idea, and immediately got up to try turning on the lights, then went to the bathroom to turn on the faucet.

In the dimly lit bathroom at dusk, she stared blankly at the faucet that hadn’t produced a drop of water for a long time.

When it rains, it pours⁵.

Ten minutes later, Qi Song finally sat down at the table in resignation and signed her name on the contract.

The number at the top of the original owner’s contact list was noted with a moon emoji; Qi Song knew this must be Yu Luo.

She hesitated before dialing.

The call was answered in a second, and a woman’s clear, pleasant voice came through: “You…”

Before the word was finished, Qi Song, as if possessed, pressed the hang-up button.

Beep—

Yu Luo looked at the disconnected call screen and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Qi Song clutched her phone, her heart pounding.

Just a few hours ago, she was a glamorous Best Actress who didn’t worry about money, and now she had fallen so low, forced to rely on her cheating ex-girlfriend for support.

Hanging up was purely a psychological instinct.

Would Yu Luo get angry because of this and directly force her to pay back the three million, not even wanting to discuss the collaboration anymore?

But then she heard her phone chime several times as a few text messages came in.

First was—

【xx Bank: Your account ending in 1111 received a transfer of 3,000,000.00 yuan on x month x day.】

Followed by—

【(Moon): This is a reward for you taking the initiative to call me.】

【(Moon): I’ll come pick you up at nine tomorrow morning.】
