Honest Beta gets scammed

Li Qing's hand trembled, and the chopsticks were knocked to the ground with a clatter.

He quickly picked up the chopsticks, his eyes wide open, like a badger that had smelled a melon.

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing!

He leaned forward and lowered his voice.

"What happened?"

Li Hao sighed.

She hadn't originally planned to tell anyone, since it was her boyfriend's privacy, but on one hand, she was also holding back her anger and needed to find a place to vent, and on the other hand, she wanted to put Li Qing at ease and let him know that she wasn't some rich girl who played with people's feelings.

"Sigh, my girlfriend's family and her ex-husband's family aren't just ordinary friends; they have some business dealings, so their marriage is... well, you know, an arranged marriage."

"Marriage alliance?" Li Qing's understanding of this term was limited to television dramas.

"Yes." Li Hao nodded. "At first, her ex-husband pretended to be a decent person, but not long after the marriage, his true colors were revealed. He was always cheating on his wife, and later he went even further, bringing his mistress home!"

Li Qing gasped, instinctively covering her mouth, her face filled with disbelief.

"Take her home? What will happen to her then?"

"What can we do?"

Li Hao clenched her fist in anger and lightly slammed it on the table, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the table to shake.

"Because the two families' businesses are still intertwined, my partner can't even file for divorce! And she's an Omega, so her family, her ex-husband's family, everyone—they all expect her to put up with it! They even say it's normal for Alphas to do this outside the marriage, and then they criticize her for being incompetent and unable to hold onto her husband's heart!"

"Back then, my partner had to endure those shameless mistresses coming to their door to provoke him, while also having to listen to the pressure from his family. He was almost driven to the point of developing depression!"

Li Hao became increasingly angry as he spoke, and a thin layer of powder appeared on his face from his anger.

Li Qing also got angry, and her brows furrowed.

"This is outrageous! It's clearly that Alpha who's shameless, why are you criticizing her like this?!"

"Yeah! When I heard that, I was so angry I felt like my lungs were going to explode!" Li Hao echoed wildly.

Li Qing asked, "And then what happened? How did they get divorced? Could it be that the mistress succeeded in taking his place?"

"Did the mistress take over?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao rolled her eyes, her tone full of disdain, "Those mistresses should at least argue their case first!"

"what?"

Li Qing was taken aback, not quite understanding the meaning behind those words for a moment.

But soon, a guess surfaced in his mind, leaving him with a look of shock.

Li Hao could tell from his expression that he had figured it out, which directly confirmed his guess.

"Yes! You're right, that dead ex-husband, he didn't just have one mistress, he had a whole bunch of mistresses! Like a harem, one today, another tomorrow, and he even insulted my girlfriend by making her work as a maid at home, serving them food and drink!"

"My partner finally snapped because of this and insisted on getting a divorce. This has caused a huge fight with his family!"

After speaking, Li Hao looked at his brother's face, which was already scrunched up, and softened his tone.

"So, brother, you don't need to worry about my girlfriend's family looking down on us or anything. Her relationship with her family is pretty strained right now. She's not the kind of person who would play with other people's feelings. She just wants to date me and doesn't care about dowry or anything like that. So don't worry about it."

Li Qing was still in shock when she heard her sister say this. She immediately realized what was happening and her expression turned serious.

"No way! One thing at a time. He's such a good Omega, he's suffered so much, and now that he's with you, we can't treat him badly!"

Li Hao's attack was incredibly effective for Li Qing, who is now genuinely starting to feel sorry for Li Hao's girlfriend.

In his small hometown, the most he'd ever seen was a farce where he loved her, she loved him, and he loved her. But this kind of situation—bringing mistresses home for a meeting and having the wife act as a maid—was unheard of!

City dwellers are indeed more advanced in every way!

He looked down at the bubbling hot pot in front of him, and his mind involuntarily drifted back to the day he first met Li Hao's girlfriend.

That Omega was so elegant, so noble, like a fairy! You'd never guess she'd been through something like that! I just can't understand how anyone could be so heartless as to treat her like that!

That's enough, I feel sorry for her!

Thinking about it, Li Qing looked at Li Hao and couldn't help but add, "Girl, since you're going to be with her, you have to treat her well, okay? Don't you dare learn anything bad from these people in the capital, especially her ex-husband! You absolutely can't learn even a tiny bit of what he did!"

"Pfft!" Li Hao burst out laughing.

She knew her brother too well; she knew he would react this way after hearing it.

"Don't worry, bro, I definitely won't! Hey, the food's here, the food's here!"

Just then, a waiter pushed a food cart over and placed plates of fresh meat and vegetables on the table.

Seeing this, Li Hao immediately picked up his chopsticks, but then remembered something and said to Li Qing, "Brother, don't move yet, let me take a picture!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing, though confused as to why they needed to take photos before eating, obediently put down her chopsticks.

Li Hao arranged several plates of colorful dishes, adjusted the angle, and then took a few pictures with his phone. Afterward, he looked down at them and seemed very satisfied.

Then he looked up at Li Qing, who was sitting there blankly, and laughed, "Brother, come on, let's take a picture, strike a pose!"

As she spoke, she raised her phone, capturing herself, Li Qing, and a table full of dishes in the frame.

Li Qing rarely takes photos, and seemed a little flustered in front of the camera, but at her sister's urging, she smiled at the camera and slowly made a peace sign.

With a "click," the photo was captured.

Looking at the photos on his phone, Li Hao couldn't help but laugh again: "Brother, you look so silly with that smile!"

Li Qing scratched his head sheepishly, "I don't take photos often."

"Hey, it's nothing," Li Hao waved his hand, "My Li family's genes are still pretty good, we can Photoshop it! Come on, let's stop filming and eat!"

Finally, it was time for Li Qing's specialty: he wasn't picky about food and loved to eat everything.

Knowing that Li Qing could eat a lot, Li Hao specially ordered a lot. Towards the end, Li Hao himself didn't have much energy left, so he stopped eating early and handed over the important task of "cleaning up the battlefield" to Li Qing.

She then picked up her phone and began to focus on editing the photos.

A moment later, the screen of Li Qing's phone on the table lit up.

He glanced at it subconsciously and found that Li Hao had sent him the picture he had just edited.

"Post it on WeChat Moments!" Li Hao ordered without looking up. "Oh, and remember to block our parents."

When he said the last sentence, Li Hao's voice was noticeably softer.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing looked up at her younger sister. Seeing that her sister didn't have any particular expression, she lowered her head and obediently blocked her parents' accounts in the recipient list.

He then selected the photo, added a smiley face, and sent it. In his WeChat Moments, which were full of rural vibes, this time the post was incredibly trendy!

After sending it, Li Qing looked up and smiled at Li Hao.

"All sent."
