After the System Called Me Mom, My Arch-Nemesis Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 39.1
Vibrate! Vibrate!
Jiang Mingyue’s phone rang. Lu Lingzhi’s eyesight was very good, even better since becoming an Alpha.
The caller was Jiang Mingzhao.
Jiang Mingyue chose to hang up directly. Lu Lingzhi’s mood brightened considerably, but the phone rang again immediately.
The next second.
Jiang Mingyue looked at it and had no choice but to step out to answer.
But she left her ID card behind.
Lu Lingzhi frowned slightly but said nothing as she watched the other woman walk out of sight. She continued listening to the doctor.
Beep.
Jiang Mingyue’s ID was swiped through the card reader.
The doctor pulled up her physical exam reports, they were all normal.
The one who was abnormal was Miss Lu.
“Miss Lu, do you have Top-tier Alpha/Omega parents at home?”
Lu Lingzhi nodded. “Yes, I do. Doctor, I’ve been quite lethargic these past few days. I get hungry easily, and sleeping for ten hours isn’t enough. My nosebleeds are severe. Just by using my pheromones at noon, I got one.”
“Miss Lu, based on my years of experience, you are currently an S-class Alpha, but you might become a Top-tier Alpha. You will experience lethargy, gluttony, and nosebleeds. Of course, these are all signs of pheromone instability. Think of it like upgrading equipment in a game, it’s very resource heavy.”
“I looked at it, and the compatibility between you and Miss Jiang was 88% even before differentiation. It will likely be even higher now. Miss Lu, you also need to pay extra attention to Miss Jiang’s emotions and physical condition. Your pheromones as an Alpha are extremely unstable, this fluctuation will strongly affect an Omega with high compatibility. It could lead to her heat period coming early, becoming disordered, or even having abnormal intensity… later on, there might even be a possibility of Miss Jiang’s grade increasing.”
“Your secondary differentiation will take a long time, and you will constantly need Miss Jiang’s pheromones. At least two or three months… you cannot change partners in the middle. Your pheromones have already adapted, otherwise, it will make your body even more uncomfortable…”
“You also need to supplement your nutrition, sleep more, and eat more…”
“I’ve sent the recipe list to you…”
Time ticked by.
Who was that call really from? Was it really Jiang Mingzhao?
Didn’t Jiang Mingyue say their sibling relationship was cold?
Why do they need to talk for so long?
Lu Lingzhi sat in the chair, her hand constantly picking at the underside of the desk. Wood shavings began to fall. Her gaze remained fixed on the cracked door, her mind uneasy.
Why isn’t she back? Not back, not back.
Why can’t I hear any conversation from outside the door at all?
Is the soundproofing too good?
Who did the construction for this building?
They did it too well.
Seeing Lu Lingzhi’s distracted state, the doctor didn’t know how much she had absorbed. He sighed understandably. “Miss Lu, those are the basic facts. Can you go call Miss Jiang? I need to go over some precautions for Omegas with her in detail. Then I’ll arrange for the two of you to do an immediate compatibility test.”
“…Okay.” Lu Lingzhi stood up and walked to the door.
She pulled it open, only to find the hallway bench empty. Jiang Mingyue was nowhere to be seen. A sudden sense of inexplicable anxiety seized her. Just then, her phone vibrated. The screen lit up with a WeChat message from Jiang Mingyue:
Jiang Mingyue: The call just now was from the police station. My family’s stocks and the Jian Group’s stocks have all crashed. Did you pull out?
Lu Lingzhi: I pulled out long ago.
Jiang Mingyue didn’t reply.
Lu Lingzhi: “…”
Why won’t you praise me? Is it that hard to praise me?
Calling me “weak” behind my back comes so easily to you though.
She didn’t get a reply from Jiang Mingyue, but one came from Chang Xi.
Chang Xi: Lu Bao, I have a favor to ask. Go to a Swan Lake ballet concert for me tomorrow night. It’s VIP Box 2.
Lu Lingzhi clicked the link. It was indeed at the Beijing Grand Theater. This performance was supposedly hard to get tickets for, the lead was a world renowned Omega prima ballerina famous for her beauty and skill.
Her eyes darted around, and she typed back playfully.
Lu Lingzhi: Little Mommy, you’re suddenly giving me a ticket for an Omega led ballet, and in a VIP box. You aren’t trying to set me up on a blind date, are you? [Clever sticker]
The reply came almost instantly, she was clearly annoyed by the line of thought.
Chang Xi: Yes, I’ve arranged a particularly beautiful Omega for you.
Little Mommy was even joking with her now.
She couldn’t lose.
Lu Lingzhi: There’s only one ticket. Oh, I get it. Little Mommy, you’re beautiful and gentle. This was sent by a suitor, wasn’t it? Then your Great Villain found out? Her jealousy exploded and she won’t let you go, so you have no choice but to shove the ticket to me.
Lu Lingzhi: That must be it. [Smirk][Smirk]
Chang Xi looked at her phone helplessly. She looked at a different chat record:
Xie Zhixia: Little Aunt (Aunt-in-law), my Little Aunt (paternal) said she’s busy. Can you come see me dance ballet? You’re the best. I’ve arranged a VIP box for you, bring the little sister too.
Chang Xi: She’s very headstrong. We’ve spoiled her a bit, and she often fights with your Little Aunt. I’m afraid she’ll cause trouble if she goes.
At noon, Chairman Xie was throwing money around. In the afternoon, the Eldest Miss of the Xie family came to invite Lu Bao to a performance on October 1st.
It seemed the Xie family was starting to find ways to get close to Lu Bao.
This Eldest Miss, Xie Zhixia, was someone Chang Xi had watched grow up.
She was kind-hearted and had no hidden agendas.
She admired Xie Fuyun the most.
And she loved to nag Xie Fuyun and Chang Xi about getting married and having kids.
Xie Zhixia: Little sister is in her rebellious phase, I understand. A child raised by Little Aunt and Little Aunt-in-law can’t be that bad, right? She must be good at heart. I’ve prepared a trending cake. Also, I’ve blocked the WiFi in that room. I hope without internet interference, she can settle down and enjoy the performance. Who knows, I might even become her idol.
This Eldest Miss of the Xie family was only told she had a sister.
She wasn’t told the specific details. She had a good relationship with Xie Fuyun and Chang Xi, she knew the two had fallen in love in college, but because Chang Xi’s family background wasn’t enough and her pheromone grade was insufficient, Xie Fuyun eventually took Chang Xi away to live in the mountainside villa.
These two were now thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old.
Therefore, in Xie Zhixia’s eyes, this “sister” was a child born to them after graduation.
At most, she’d be thirteen or fourteen.
Children of that age are naturally rebellious and fight with their parents.
She was happier than anyone that there was a sister in the family.
She didn’t care what her parents thought, or what the rest of the Xie family thought.
She only wanted to pursue her dreams.
She really couldn’t be like Xie Fuyun, strategizing and suppressing those “old antiques” on the board of directors.
