A straight man transmigrates into an ABO world and upgrades his beauty by pretending to be an Alpha.

Chapter 273 Feelings Faded

"Wow, I'm so envious of this kind of friendship! Do you still keep in touch?"

Because Chen Minhang was very strict with Chen Jiale, even making friends was controlled, and people from poor families were not allowed to have much interaction with him.

In terms of life, it can be said that he has been controlled by his partner since childhood. He has to follow the path he designed step by step and cannot make any deviations.

Perhaps because this kind of life was too oppressive, Chen Jiaxi broke with her family as soon as she came of age, and Chen Minxing cut off all of Chen Jiaxi's living expenses.

Fortunately, Chen Jiaxi never looked back at him and made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

Chen Jiale was not as successful as Chen Jiaxi. His childhood dream was to be a chef, so he naturally received a lot of sarcastic remarks from Chen Minhang.

If Chen Minxing weren't so old, judging from his demeanor, he would probably have to start over.

Hearing Chen Jiale's question, Shen Ruoyun couldn't help but sigh and shake her head heavily. "I don't know why either. We played together fine in elementary school, but he stopped playing with me in middle school."

I went to see him, but he kept avoiding me. Maybe we're not in the same class anymore, so our friendship has faded.

Hearing his words, Chen Jiale also felt a little regretful, "That's such a pity. You two were so close when you were young, how did things turn out like this?"

"Yes, everything was fine on the day I graduated from elementary school. I remember it rained heavily that day, and none of us had umbrellas. He used his coat to shield us as we walked home."

Oh, and he even slipped me a little note back then. He couldn't help but sigh again as he said this; he truly cherished this relationship.

This immediately piqued Chen Jiale's gossip instincts. "What's it about?"

"I don't know, it got soaked in water and turned into a lump. When I went to find him again after school started, he ignored me."

Now that I think about it, I guess it was probably something like a letter of severing ties. He finished speaking with a hint of sadness in his expression.

Chen Jiale suddenly felt something was wrong. He glanced at Shen Ruoyun, who was still showing off her crayfish, but still didn't say what was on his mind.

Some say that what you keep in mind will eventually come back to you, but the world is not only filled with empty valleys, but also with the endless ocean. Even if someone speaks out, they will inevitably be drowned out by the sound of the tide.

Chen Jiale seems to have learned what extraordinary insensitivity means from Shen Ruoyun, always giving people a faint sense of powerlessness.

Meanwhile, Shen Ruoyang was sweating profusely with anxiety. In this situation, if he couldn't come up with the money to Shen Ruoyun, she would definitely expose his affairs and even send him to the police station.

After all, Shen Ruoyun dared to hit even Shen Qi, so she naturally wouldn't hold back against him.

But Shen Qi must not know about this. The Lin family had already begun to dislike him because of the injury on his face.

If we tell Shen Qi the truth now, given his temper, he'd be lucky if he didn't beat us to death, let alone give us money.

He can only come up with a maximum of ten million now, which is basically all the money he has saved up over the past few years.

In fact, the mother and son knew that Shen Qi had an illegitimate child outside, but the two of them had never made it clear, so Shen Qi always thought that he had hidden it very well.

The reason they didn't make it clear was that they didn't even need to think about Shen Qi's personality; they could pretty much know just by looking at the fate of Shen Ruojun's birth mother, Yuan Ruo.

If this matter is brought to the public eye, the mother and son will not gain anything.

It's better to turn a blind eye now and hold onto whatever you can get your hands on, so that even if something changes in the future, you won't be completely without any protection.

After all, that illegitimate child hasn't differentiated yet. If he differentiates into an alpha in the future, Shen Qi will definitely take him back to the Shen family. At that time, they will have no say in anything.

"Mom, could you give me some money?" Shen Ruoyang said to He Meijie.

He Meijie only had Shen Ruoyang's request, so she asked, "How much do you want? Mom will transfer it to you now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoyang's hope was instantly rekindled. "Ten million, I want ten million."

Upon hearing his words, He Meijie was instantly shocked. "Ten million!!! What do you need so much money for?"

Although He Meijie had some money, it wasn't enough to squander it recklessly. Moreover, the Shen family's business had been declining year by year in recent years, and their profits had dwindled.

In her view, ten million was not a small sum.

Shen Ruoyang gritted his teeth, his voice trembling with a hint of tears: "Mom, I'm in big trouble."

Seeing that Shen Ruoyang was about to cry, He Meijie felt extremely distressed. "Why are you crying again? Don't be afraid, Mom is here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoyang haltingly told He Meijie the whole story.

"So he's the one who injured your face?" He Meijie asked anxiously, pulling on Shen Ruoyang's hand.

Shen Ruoyang felt extremely wronged and nodded to He Meijie, "It was him, he wanted to destroy me."

Upon hearing this, He Meijie's face turned ashen with anger. "That little bastard, how dare he treat you like this!" she slammed her hand on the table, gritting her teeth.

After calming down, she didn't say anything more. She was angry, but she also knew that the other party had something on her son, so she had no choice but to give him the money.

"Mom, you have to save me, or I'm doomed." Shen Ruoyang gripped He Meijie's arm tightly, his eyes filled with terror and pleading.

Although He Meijie was unwilling, she still nodded in agreement, "Then I will transfer the money to you later."

"How dare that little beast treat you like that! I will never let him get away with this!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoyang immediately perked up, after all, he couldn't swallow the anger that Shen Ruoyun had caused him.

"Mom, do you have any good ideas?"

He Meijie's face was somewhat gloomy as she reached out and touched Shen Ruoyang's head.

"You just focus on recovering, and leave everything else to Mom."

……

After filming the interior scenes at the film studio, Shen Ruoyun had to travel with the crew to various locations for location shooting.

Because of the limited filming time, every day was very busy.

Because of the plot, there are many action scenes every day, and I spend more time on wires.

Besides the sweltering heat, my body was covered in bruises.

It also requires a high degree of concentration, and the daily shooting time is not short.

Although Shen Ruoyun eats normally at every meal, she has lost a lot of weight recently because of the heat and high energy expenditure.

Previously, Lu Yan and his group had helped them out at the film studio, but this place is extremely remote, and it's difficult to find anything to eat.

Zhou Ji stood on the bamboo grove on his toes, and with a quick movement, he leaped onto another bamboo stalk.

A figure was in front, chasing each other in mid-air, their long swords clashing violently, sparks flying everywhere.

His eyes were unusually fierce. He flicked his wrist and chopped at the other person's shoulder.

In an instant, the entire arm was severed from the body, blood splattered out, and the severed arm fell straight down, crashing onto the fallen leaves in the bamboo forest.

The opponent felt the pain and faltered. Zhou Ji seized the opportunity to close in, his sword tip pointing directly at the opponent's throat.

"Zhou Ji, you were originally from Heng State, yet you willingly become his lackey! How can you face your ancestors?!"

Zhou Ji sneered and with a flick of his wrist, the other man's head rolled to the ground.

“You are the people of Heng State that I killed, how can you say you have failed your ancestors!” Zhou Ji sheathed his sword.

"Cut! Let's take a break," the director said, holding a megaphone.

Upon hearing his voice, Shen Ruoyun immediately turned into a stagnant pool, hanging limply in mid-air like a dead dog.

Its small body swayed in the air before slowly descending to the ground.

"Quickly, bring me my Snickers bar." Shen Ruoyun immediately waved to her assistant.

The assistant quickly handed over a Snickers bar, and Shen Ruoyun eagerly tore open the packaging and wolfed it down.

He casually took the water bottle handed to him and gulped down several mouthfuls.

"The scenes here are finished. I had someone prepare some farm-style dishes for tonight, so we can have a nice meal before heading to D City tomorrow," the director said, patting Shen Ruoyun on the shoulder.

Shen Ruoyun's eyes lit up instantly. She had been eating boxed lunches lately and hadn't had anything good to eat in a long time.

"Okay! Thank you, director!" Shen Ruoyun smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

The staff packed up the tools on set, and Shen Ruoyun sat there and rested for a while.

Afterwards, Shen Ruoyun wandered around for a while, her eyes lit up, she picked up a tree branch and started digging frantically.

"Brother Yun, what are you digging for?" Chen Jiale squatted down next to him and asked, watching his movements.

"This is five-finger peach, which can be used to make soup." This kind of wild five-finger peach is better, and Shen Ruoyun plans to dig some up to take back to Lin Yanshu, so she can also mooch a couple of meals from him.

"Really? Can I come along then?" Just thinking about food made Chen Jiale's mouth water.

"Hmm... I'll ask later, it should be fine, Brother Yanshu is a very nice person."

When Shen Ruoyun thought of Lin Yanshu, she suddenly missed him a little, but he seemed to be quite busy lately and hadn't been replying to her messages much.

After filming is finished, he will have to go and see him when he has time. He missed him last time because he was working. Lin Yanshu told him that the crabapple blossoms had all withered, which made him feel a little regretful.

Based on his current task progress, it's estimated that he won't be able to see the crabapple blossoms next year; it seems that some things are just not meant to be.

Wash and dry the dug-out five-finger peach, then it's ready to be packed up and taken home.

There's only one village nearby, with about ten households, and the film crew has several hundred people, so there's a lot of food to prepare.

With nothing to do, Shen Ruoyun noticed that her fellow villagers were slaughtering a pig, so she immediately ran over to join in the fun. Chen Jiale, oblivious to the danger, also joined in.

When they arrived at the scene, there were already many staff members and villagers gathered together. Several villagers were seen dragging three large pigs toward an open space.

Meanwhile, several other pigs had several pots of hot water placed nearby. The pigs seemed to sense their fate and struggled fiercely for a moment.

Shen Ruoyun and Chen Jiale watched intently when suddenly, a pig squealed, broke free from the villagers' restraints, and charged towards the crowd.

Everyone was so frightened that they scattered. Shen Ruoyun reacted quickly and pulled Chen Jiale aside.

"Oh no, the pig has escaped!!! Go catch it quickly!!" The village chief slapped his thigh and shouted to the crowd.

The villagers realized what was happening and immediately surrounded Pigsy, forming a large circle around him.

However, it was clearly a maverick, charging wildly through the encirclement and tearing a hole in its path.

The second senior brother seemed to be picking on the weakest link, and actually charged straight towards Shen Ruojun and the other person.

Chen Jiale: "!!!", Don't come any closer!

"Ouch!" Before Chen Jiale could react, he was knocked down by his second senior brother.

Shen Ruoyun reacted quickly, leaping forward and instantly transforming into Taiyi Zhenren, riding on the pig's back and grabbing its ears tightly.

But this pig was incredibly strong, and it immediately started spinning and jumping, whipping its tail so hard it almost sent Shen Ruoyun flying.

"Lele!!! Grab it!!!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiale immediately got up from the ground and, without thinking, went forward and hugged the pig's hind legs.

"Aaaaaah!!!!" The pig struggled frantically, dragging Chen Jiale around on the ground.

Shen Ruo tried his best to grip the pig's ears tightly, attempting to control its direction.

A burly man rushed over and grabbed the pig's foreleg.

The pig's movements were momentarily halted; it squealed angrily, but could not break free from the combined strength of the three.

Seeing this, the villagers also gathered around to help, and together they finally subdued the "maverick" pig.

Chen Jiale got up from the ground, covered in dirt and grime. He panted and said, "Brother Yun, this pig is too fierce."

Shen Ruoyun jumped off the pig's back, patted the mud off her body, and laughed, "Luckily we caught it, otherwise tonight's pork feast would have been ruined."

Shen Ruoyun and Chen Jiale exchanged a glance and suddenly burst out laughing.

Half an hour later…

Chen Jiale secretly turned her back and frantically wiped away her tears.

Shen Ruoyun turned her head to look at him, bent down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's so pitiful, the pig is so pitiful." Chen Jiale couldn't hold back his tears as he watched the red knife being plunged into the pig's neck.

"Am I a pig killer? Actually, it's quite cute, and I don't have to eat it. But I think it's a bit cruel, Brother Yun."

Shen Ruoyun didn't really like this kind of scene either.

After all, it's certainly hard to bear watching a life struggle and gradually die, but it's not to the extent that Chen Jiale did.

She reached out and patted his back, quickly reassuring him, "It's okay, don't think too much about it."

After a while…

"Brother Yun, this meat smells so good! You should eat some too!" Chen Jiale picked up a large chopstick of braised pig's trotter and put it into Shen Ruoyun's bowl.

He ate with such gusto, his mouth was practically dripping with oil, he was a completely different person from before.

"Come on! Try this first. It's all thanks to these two young men who helped press down the pig."

The village chief placed two large bowls of pork tripe and chicken soup in front of the two men, praising them loudly.

Chen Jiale wiped his hands, quickly took the bowl, and grinned from ear to ear. "Village chief, you don't need to be so polite. It's my pleasure!"
