After Transmigrating Into A Novel, Not Only Did I Become An Omega, But I Also Provoked The Male Lead’s Mother - Chapter 29

Ling Jixiao forced herself to stay alert while driving home, her cheeks still tinged with a faint blush as she replayed the earlier scene in her mind.

Upon returning to the Ling family’s Old Residence, she found Grandpa Ling unexpectedly still awake, Ling Jingxi standing behind him as if he had been waiting specifically for her.

“You’re back. Good, I have something to discuss with you,” Grandpa Ling said, leaning on his cane as he rose. “Come, let’s talk in the study.”

Ling Jixiao and Ling Jingxi followed Grandpa Ling to the study.

Grandpa Ling got straight to the point: since Ling Jingxi was the Ling family heir, he shouldn’t be working as an intern at the lowest levels; he should be learning management right away.

Ling Jixiao replied calmly, “I had Jingxi start as an intern at the bottom because he’s still young and inexperienced. He needs to learn the fundamentals properly.”

Ling Jingxi remained silent in the background, as if the matter didn’t concern him.

Grandpa Ling fell silent for a moment before speaking. “Since you’re the heir to the Ling family, you should focus on learning how to manage the Group. There’s no need to waste time on understanding the lower levels of the organization—we hire people specifically for that. If you still need to learn those basics, then why does the Group hire so many people every year?”

Ling Jixiao didn’t quite agree with these views. After all, a company’s growth requires not only capable leaders but also an understanding of the situation at the grassroots level. Just like ancient emperors who needed to understand the lives of commoners to make better decisions.

However, facing Grandpa Ling, out of respect for him, Ling Jixiao thought for a moment and didn’t argue. “Alright, I’ll listen to Grandpa.” Perhaps this elderly man, who had been successful all his life, had more experience!

Grandpa Ling nodded in satisfaction.

At first, Grandpa Ling wanted Ling Jingxi to work closely with Ling Jixiao, but Ling Jixiao said she was busy, so Ling Jingxi was assigned to learn from one of the Vice Presidents instead.

Ling Jingxi nodded obediently, acting like a puppet following orders throughout the conversation. He kept his head lowered, hiding the shadowy depths in his eyes.

In truth, he had received a call from Young Master Zhang that morning.

Young Master Zhang said President Liu had called him as planned. He’d intended to pressure Xixing Sanatorium, but instead, he’d secured a donation—surprisingly from Minghui Group.

This meant Xixing Sanatorium wasn’t just receiving extra funds; it now had the backing of a major corporation, Minghui Group, starting today.

Young Master Zhang erupted in curses, furious that Ling Jingxi’s schemes kept being thwarted by his family’s Group! “What kind of joke is this?!”

Ling Jingxi’s expression darkened. He hadn’t anticipated that Minghui Group was one of Xixing Sanatorium’s benefactors.

He quickly searched online news reports and found an article about Minghui Group’s donation to Xixing Sanatorium, highlighting the sanatorium’s years of quietly helping impoverished individuals.

Fury burned in Ling Jingxi’s eyes. He slammed his fist into a vase in the room, shattering it in a fit of rage. After venting his anger, he took a deep breath, sat on the edge of the bed, and pondered his next move.

Was this sponsorship a coincidence, or had Ling Jixiao orchestrated it deliberately?

He couldn’t be sure.

But one thing was clear: to achieve his goals, he had to eliminate the obstacles in his path!

If Ling Jixiao deliberately donated to Xixing Sanatorium, her intention must have been to prevent Qin Yue from contacting him!

This was truly a tricky situation.

Ling Jingxi’s eyes darkened. Whether Ling Jixiao had done it intentionally or not, he needed to start seizing power. Only by holding power in his hands could he act as he pleased.

So, while Ling Jixiao was out, Ling Jingxi approached Grandpa Ling about wanting to learn more about management. Perhaps Grandpa Ling had grown old, or perhaps Ling Jingxi possessed the Male Lead’s halo, but in the end, Grandpa Ling was actually convinced by him.

That’s how the conversation in the study earlier came about.

Ling Jingxi hadn’t expected Ling Jixiao to oppose him, and for things to go so smoothly.

He didn’t genuinely feel deeply attached to Qin Yue’ai. From beginning to end, Ling Jingxi had simply hated anyone who stood in the way of what he wanted to do.

He still remembered when he was little, seeing a litter of adorable stray kittens by the roadside. He wanted to take one home, but the mother cat blocked the way, hissing and growling at him in warning.

Ling Jingxi hated this mother cat that was blocking him. So the next day, he deliberately bought rat poison, mixed it into a can of cat food, and fed it to the mother cat.

The cat mother was starving, perhaps having gone without food for a long time. Unable to resist the temptation, she ate the medicated cat food.

As the poison took effect, Ling Jingxi sneered, viciously stabbing the still-breathing cat mother with a craft knife again and again, blood gushing with each thrust.

Finally, the obstacle was gone. He could finally obtain the kitten.

He had money, enough to provide the kitten with a warm environment and plenty of delicious food. In his eyes, the kitten should have been deeply grateful to him!

Unfortunately, the ungrateful kitten scratched him.

Ling Jingxi recalled these events, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

By the way, what happened to that kitten in the end?

Oh, right! Ling Jingxi remembered the sequence of events and smiled.

After the kitten scratched him, he slammed it to the ground, stomped on it, and finally ended its life with the knife still stained with its mother’s blood.

That was the fate of anyone who dared to resist him!

From that day on, Ling Jingxi learned one thing: to get what he wanted, he just needed to eliminate all obstacles!

Ling Jixiao hadn’t given Ling Jingxi’s matter much thought. After all, she had watched him grow up, and even if she hadn’t been overly attentive, she subconsciously assumed he wasn’t malicious.

That night, Ling Jixiao lay awake, ruminating over her relationship with Qin Yue.

In the adult world, people were too busy to dawdle. They said what needed to be said, without beating around the bush.

After so many years, Ling Jixiao felt she might finally be ready to let go of the past and take a new step forward.

If that was the case, she was willing to embrace a new identity.

Early the next morning, Ling Jixiao sent a message to Qin Yue, asking if she was awake.

Qin Yue was indeed awake. Xiaoyun was being discharged from the hospital, and since Qin Yue was on vacation, she had volunteered to pick her up.

She had really overdone it with the drinking last night, and her memory of the evening was hazy. Her foggy brain only vaguely recalled accidentally summoning Ling Jixiao, but the details of their conversation and actions remained blurred.

By the time she saw Ling Jixiao’s message, she was already in the car on her way to the hospital.

Qin Yue replied to Ling Jixiao, saying she was awake. After a moment of thought, she expressed her apologies, feeling guilty for calling Ling Jixiao over on a special holiday based on her unfounded suspicion.

Ling Jixiao seemed busy. Just as Qin Yue was about to arrive at the hospital, she suddenly received a call.

Qin Yue answered.

After the call connected, both remained silent.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, Qin Yue spoke, embarrassed, “I’m sorry about last night. I drank too much and shouldn’t have called you over…”

Breathing could be heard on the other end. After a pause, Ling Jixiao’s cool voice came through, “About last night…”

For some reason, Qin Yue’s heart tightened, sensing that what Ling Jixiao was about to say was important.

Ling Jixiao paused, as if gathering her courage, then continued, “What you said last night… it’s true. I did have those feelings. So, what’s your answer?”

Qin Yue felt momentarily dazed. She had indeed drunk too much last night, and her memories of the evening were fragmented. She couldn’t even remember how she got back to bed, only recalling that she had called Ling Jixiao and insisted the other woman come over.

The bus arrived at the stop, and Qin Yue got off.

Staring at the hospital entrance, Qin Yue instinctively felt she shouldn’t respond. Hesitantly, she began, “Um… I really drank too much yesterday and can’t remember everything clearly. I… I’m at the hospital now. I… I have to go.”

Before Ling Jixiao could react, she hung up.

This is so embarrassing! But I don’t even know why!

Qin Yue walked into the hospital, heading toward Xiaoyun’s hospital room.

As she slowly walked, memories of last night gradually became clearer.

Last night, she seemed to have asked Ling Jixiao if they wanted to try something together. What exactly were they trying?

Last night, she seemed to have cornered Ling Jixiao against a wall.

Last night, she seemed to have asked Ling Jixiao…

Do you want to go out?

Aaaaaah!

Standing in the elevator, Qin Yue covered her face with both hands.

She was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment with her toes! If she remembered correctly, Ling Jixiao had rejected her, right?!

Wait, no! Ling Jixiao’s phone call just now said that last night was exactly as she thought!

When the elevator reached her floor, Qin Yue stepped out without thinking.

So Ling Jixiao really meant to pursue her? She actually wanted to date her?

Whoosh! Blood rushed to Qin Yue’s face, turning her cheeks bright red.

After twenty-eight years, this was her first time being confessed to!

Was this a confession? She wasn’t entirely sure.

Qin Yue pressed her burning cheeks, her head lowered as she walked slowly forward.

Ling Jixiao was waiting for her answer!

As Qin Yue approached Xiaoyun’s hospital room, she looked up and saw a slightly chubby man standing outside the door.

He was staring into the room, his eyes gleaming with intensity.

The room held three or four beds, not just Xiaoyun’s.

Just as Qin Yue was about to approach, a sudden, terrified scream pierced the air from inside the room.

The voice was young—Xiaoyun’s!

Qin Yue rushed over and flung open the door.

It was indeed Xiaoyun, curled into a tight ball. Her wide eyes were filled with terror, her body trembling violently. She stared at the door, letting out a shrill, desperate scream.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Qin Yue quickly wrapped her arms around Xiaoyun, comforting her. Following Xiaoyun’s gaze toward the door, she saw no one there.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m here, I’ll protect you!” Qin Yue reassured her.

Perhaps because Qin Yue was there, Xiaoyun stopped screaming, but the terror remained etched on her face.
