Becoming the Yandere Omega's Fluffy Pet - Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Liu Ran rolled off the bed. Having been immobile for a long time, her legs felt numb the moment her feet hit the floor; she had to steady herself by grabbing the nightstand.

She didn’t spare Ming Siyu a single glance, grabbing a random coat and running out.

Ming Siyu shouted her name through gritted teeth: “Liu Ran!”

Liu Ran’s footsteps stopped at the door. She looked back, her gaze obscure as she watched the thin, pitiful, yet venomous woman in the wheelchair. Wasn’t Ming Siyu always haughty and overbearing? Who was this woman with dim eyes, limited mobility, and half her body covered in blood?

“I regret it,” Liu Ran said, her hand dropping to her side.

A flicker of light flowed through Ming Siyu’s eyes. That spark lasted only an instant, like a piece of charcoal nearly burnt to ash catching a breath of fresh oxygen a final, struggling flame that was completely extinguished after hearing what Liu Ran said next.

“The thing I regret most is agreeing to save you in Country B. You should have died there burned to death, shot to death… in short, it would have been better if you were dead.”

With that, Liu Ran ran away without looking back.

Staring at the door that wouldn’t close, Ming Siyu swept everything off the nightstand with a wave of her hand. She looked back, facing the full-length mirror in the room; the woman in the mirror was disheveled, her hair a mess, looking utterly despondent, helpless, and wretched.

How did she become like this? She shouldn’t have become like this.

Once again, she had softened her heart for Liu Ran. The consequence of that soft heart was the punishment of guarding an empty room alone, only to be cursed by Liu Ran to die.

But it wouldn’t be long now. The wish Liu Ran just made was close to coming true; she really was going to die soon.

It was already April. She wondered if Liu Ran would laugh out loud with joy when she saw her tombstone. No, she had to find someone specifically to watch her grave; if Liu Ran dared to laugh once, they’d shoot her on the spot.

Ming Siyu began using her phone to check Liu Ran’s location. She had always been able to check Liu Ran’s real-time location; as long as Liu Ran had her phone on her, she could locate her anytime, anywhere. Liu Ran didn’t know she had this trick because Liu Ran was very resistant to being monitored, so she had never used it. Subconsciously, she had trusted that Liu Ran wouldn’t lie to her.

Now it came in handy.

The tracking showed the phone was inside the house. Ming Siyu’s expression stiffened; refusing to believe it, she dialed the number, and immediately, the cheerful ringtone of Liu Ran’s phone drifted from the living room.

She remembered now—the phone had fallen to the floor when Liu Ran fainted. She had someone carry Liu Ran home and had brought the phone back as well, leaving it in the living room.

Without having sent someone to follow her in time and without GPS monitoring, Ming Siyu suddenly realized that she might actually be unable to find Liu Ran for a while. Liu Ran had vanished from her grasp right before her eyes. For the first time, she tasted so much frustration from a single person.

Previously, she often joked with He Qiange that Ming Siwei was born to be her nemesis, preventing her career from being entirely smooth sailing; if that was the case, then Liu Ran was her cure specifically meant to make her miserable. In just a few days, the anger and injuries she had endured from Liu Ran were more than the previous twenty-eight years of her life combined.

Ming Siyu moved her wheelchair to the living room, staring at the innocent phone on the sofa as if she could burn a hole through it. She had been triumphant for almost her entire life, and at the very end, she was tripped up by a little pet.

After a while, the doctor arrived. Having been informed of Ming Siyu’s injuries over the phone, the doctor brought complete equipment; after an examination, the doctor said they had to debride the wound first and then apply stitches. Ming Siyu didn’t want to go back to the hospital, so they set up a makeshift sterile environment at home, applied anesthesia, and began the procedure. The doctor originally wanted to ask who had done this to her, but seeing that expression so dark it could kill, they didn’t dare ask and silently processed the bloody wound.

Secretary Wen arrived shortly after the doctor. Seeing the scene upon entering, even the experienced Secretary Wen was startled.

She had come to deliver Ming Siyu’s notarized will. Some time ago, Ming Siyu had suddenly approached her saying she wanted to draw up a will and asked her to compile a list of all assets under her name. Secretary Wen only knew the boss had Furry Hunger Syndrome and that her health wasn’t great; Ming Siyu had disclosed to her that she had a serious illness, but she always acted like a normal, healthy person—at most looking a bit frail so Wen had always assumed the illness wasn’t urgent.

Receiving a sudden order to organize assets filled Secretary Wen with an indescribable sadness.

Ming Siyu had allocated all $67\%$ of her shares in the real estate company to Liu Ran.

Before signing, Secretary Wen asked tentatively, “President Ming, do you want to take another look to see if anything needs modifying?” She could tell at a glance who had caused the injury on Ming Siyu’s arm. Besides Liu Ran, who else would be so bold?

Ming Siyu hesitated, thinking Secretary Wen’s reminder was timely. She had given most of her assets to the old Madam Ming. This company was her life’s work; she hadn’t given it away because she knew that after the old Madam Ming passed, the inheritance would likely go to Ming Siwei and her mother. The Group shares were fine to give they were shared by the Ming family anyway but the real estate company was different; that was her own. She didn’t want it to wind up back in Ming Siwei’s hands after a long detour, so she had thought of Liu Ran.

Until just a moment ago, she hadn’t wavered in her thought of giving the company to Liu Ran. Now, that thought faltered: Liu Ran treated her like this, yet she was rushing to give her a company and money—was she pathetic? Liu Ran had pretended to be a “big-tailed wolf” in front of her for a while, then turned her back and refused to recognize her, and in the end, she’d get a company for nothing? Where in the world was there such a good deal?

But who else could she give it to? The downside of having so few family members was apparent now.

Ming Siyu was distraught; she had to reconsider this matter. It wasn’t particularly urgent anyway; she wasn’t going to breathe her last tomorrow, so she simply set it aside. The priority now was to catch Liu Ran.

Ming Siyu put down her pen without signing and told Secretary Wen to find a way to locate her. City A was only so big, and she held Liu Ran’s identification documents; unless Liu Ran grew wings and flew away, she could be found eventually.

Right, Liu Ran said she had something to do and could be back in a day, which meant the place she was going wasn’t far. It was basically certain that Liu Ran was active within the range of City A.

Secretary Wen went to follow the instructions. The doctor finished treating her wound—stitching what needed stitching, wrapping it in thick gauze, and leaving medicine behind, saying they’d return in a few days to remove the stitches. The leg injury hadn’t healed, and now a new injury was added to her arm; the doctor truly feared Ming Siyu would work herself to death if she kept this up.

After everyone was sent away, Ming Siyu wanted to pour some water for herself. Pouring water with one hand was difficult; she tried a few times, spilling more than she caught, then lost her nerve and dropped the cup, giving up on drinking. She didn’t feel comfortable in any room; the moment she stopped, her mind was filled with Liu Ran’s betrayal and her blood-curdling screams. All their history, from meeting to becoming close to reaching this point today, played on a loop like a magic lantern. Ming Siyu didn’t know at which point the error had occurred to result in such a lose-lose situation.

Perhaps what she did to Zhu Xinghan was truly a bit too much?

Several hours passed in a daze. Ming Siyu wanted to pull herself together, but her body was incredibly heavy, every breath filled with exhaustion. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Qi Zhen returned from the old estate, and Ming Siwei was with her.

Ming Siwei brought a large stack of supplements. After setting them down randomly, she walked quickly to Ming Siyu and crouched in front of her. Her hand gently touched the injured right leg; the heartache and anxiety in her eyes didn’t look faked as she asked in a trembling voice, “Sister, does it hurt?”

In the past, if Ming Siwei had shown up unannounced like this, Ming Siyu would have insulted her and kicked her out in disgrace. Today, however, she didn’t even have the energy for insults, only asking impatiently, “Who told you to come?”

She was already annoyed; seeing someone she didn’t want to see made it worse.

Ming Siwei sniffled and forced a smile: “Grandmother heard you were injured and told me to come look. I happened to come over with Sister Qi Zhen.”

Ming Siyu closed her eyes: “You’ve looked. Now get out.”

Ming Siwei pretended not to hear, her gaze trembling as it brushed over the newly wrapped white gauze on Ming Siyu’s arm and her blood-stained clothes. “Didn’t they say only the leg was hurt? What happened here? Sister, how painful this must be…”

She paused, stood up abruptly, and a flash of ferocity surfaced in her eyes: “It was Liu Ran, wasn’t it? I’m going to settle the score with her.”

She actually made a move to go out. Ming Siyu didn’t like her getting involved with Liu Ran and quickly called out: “What does who did it have to do with you? Come back.”

On the surface, Ming Siwei still listened to her most of the time; when called back, she immediately crouched in front of the wheelchair again. Ming Siyu looked closely at Ming Siwei and realized there were actually tears in her eyes.

She believed Ming Siwei might harbor some familial affection for her and might truly feel a bit of worry seeing her injured, but worrying to the point of tears was a bit much. Ming Siyu categorized them as crocodile tears.

Ming Siwei pushed the wheelchair from behind, sighing in a pleading tone: “Sister, since I’m already here, let me stay a little longer, okay? Qi Zhen is cooking; let me help you change your clothes. They’re covered in blood; it looks terrifying.”

Ming Siyu looked at her clothes; blood-stained clothes were indeed uncomfortable to wear, and just looking at them felt very ominous. Since Ming Siwei was eager to serve her, she would reluctantly accept.

Liu Ran was right about one thing: there were plenty of people trying every way to please her, and accepting anyone’s flattery was giving the other party face.

In the cloakroom upstairs, Ming Siyu picked a random set of loose, comfortable loungewear and signaled Ming Siwei to take them out and help her change. Ming Siwei carefully unbuttoned the clothes on Ming Siyu, gently sliding them off her shoulders, revealing pure black Sea Island cotton camisole underwear. The straps wrapped comfortably and snugly around her snowy-white body, showcasing smooth shoulders; the cleavage at her chest was held steadily, and the perfect curves extended to her waist.

In a place where Ming Siyu couldn’t see, Ming Siwei’s gaze briefly turned dark.

Ming Siwei took a deep breath: “Sister, Liu Ran treating you like this is really too much. It’s too dangerous for her to be by your side; there’s no telling if she’ll cause you even greater harm. It’s just you and Qi Zhen at home; I’m afraid… Sister, can’t you just kick Liu Ran out? What exactly is so special about her that makes her worth your repeated indulgence?”

Ming Siyu’s brow furrowed. Ming Siwei was still so lacking in discretion; the moment she opened up even a little bit, Siwei immediately tried to interfere with her choices.

“My business is not for you to meddle in.”

Ming Siwei bit her lip. She stopped mentioning the matter.

“Sister, lift your arm a bit…”

Ming Siwei dawdled; even changing clothes took her forever. As for the blood-stained dirty clothes, Ming Siyu instructed Ming Siwei to throw them away. Ming Siwei wanted to stay for dinner but was refused; she then offered to help with a bath, reasoning that it was inconvenient with the injuries, which was also refused.

However, having seen her, at least she could go back and report to the old Madam.

Ming Siwei went downstairs first. In the living room, a document bag sitting on the coffee table caught her attention. She looked up at the stairs; Ming Siyu hadn’t come out of the room. She gave Qi Zhen a look. Qi Zhen, carrying the freshly heated red date, snow ear, and pear soup, said, “I’ll take this to the Eldest Miss.”

Once the door opened and closed, Ming Siwei avoided the living room security cameras, picked up the document bag, and quickly browsed the materials inside. Seeing the contents, a twisted smile surfaced on her face.

It was expected. Hadn’t she already guessed who Ming Siyu would give the company to?

Although the inheritance division hadn’t been signed yet, the drafted content was enough to prove Ming Siyu’s bias.

Returning the documents as much as possible to their original state without leaving a trace of having been opened, Ming Siwei cradled the clothes Ming Siyu had changed out of and left, looking back with every step.

Liu Ran rushed downstairs; the blinding noon sun forced her to stop, cooling her head which had gone blank with rage. If anything really happened to Bai Yu, she would absolutely not let Ming Siyu go. She would bite Ming Siyu to death; even if it meant dying together, she would never let Ming Siyu off easy.

Her skirt pocket felt heavy; her backup phone was still in her inner pocket. The cautious Ming Siyu likely never thought she could escape and hadn’t even searched her, letting her get away with this right under her nose.

As soon as she turned on the phone, a dozen missed calls popped up instantly. Seeing she couldn’t reach her, Auntie Chen had finally sent a text saying Bai Yu had been wheeled into the operating room on time for surgery; about three hours later, another text told her the surgery was a success. The weight in Liu Ran’s heart finally lifted. At last, some good news.

Both texts were from a day ago; today was already the second day after Bai Yu’s surgery. That meant she had been unconscious for a day and a half. Likely, Ming Siyu had transported her back from the hospital and tied her up overnight without rest; no wonder she looked so haggard.

Ming Siyu herself was confined to a wheelchair yet was busy dealing with her—she truly spared no effort. The image of Ming Siyu pressing the release button flashed before her eyes. Since she wanted to imprison her, why did she help her unlock the restraints? Was she truly afraid her hands and feet would break, or did Ming Siyu know she had gone too far and felt guilty?

A flicker of struggle passed through Liu Ran’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper hatred.

She called Auntie Chen back, saying she’d head over as soon as possible. Just as the call ended, the phone ran out of power and shut down. Liu Ran went to the neighborhood fountain, scooped up some water to wash her face, washing away the bloodstains to make herself look at least a bit less terrifying. Reaching the roadside to hail a taxi, she realized she hadn’t brought cash. She looked so despondent and dejected, almost anti-social, that no driver dared to kindly let her in the car.

Liu Ran felt like just hijacking any car and driving off. Walking along the road thinking of what to do, at her wit’s end, a car pulled over beside her. The window rolled down, revealing Jian Huaici’s astonished face.

“Liu Ran? It really is you. I thought I was seeing things.”

Liu Ran found she couldn’t even force a fake smile. She made up a random response.

Seeing her in such a bad state, Jian Huaici assumed she had offended Ming Siyu and been kicked out, so she quickly opened the car door: “Where are you going? I’ll take you; I happen to have nothing to do and am just wandering around.”

Liu Ran couldn’t care about anything else at this point. She got into the car, and the moment she spoke, her raspy voice startled them both. “Go to your family’s… Huaici Nursing Home.”

Liu Ran borrowed a charging cable from Jian Huaici to charge her phone, then sat in the back seat staring out the window in a daze. Jian Huaici observed her through the rearview mirror. It wasn’t her place to meddle in someone else’s private business, and the two weren’t close enough to share everything; looking at Liu Ran’s appearance, she probably wouldn’t say what happened even if asked. Jian Huaici pretended to be relaxed and talked about some school matters, hoping to distract Liu Ran and liven up the atmosphere.

“There’s a professor in the Chemical Engineering department who cheated with his own grad student. The student’s girlfriend found out and came to the department demanding an explanation. As it turned out, the student’s girlfriend was also cheating; she had an online dating partner, and as luck would have it, it was that professor’s wife, haha…”

“You remember Zhu Xinghan, right? That quite pretty Omega who often looks for you. A few days ago, she was waiting for you downstairs at the department building again. You weren’t there, and someone from your department confessed to her while I happened to be in class on the second floor. Do you know how Zhu Xinghan rejected them? She said there is someone in her heart who is as pure as the bright moon…”

Liu Ran still didn’t react. In fact, she could hear Jian Huaici talking to her and knew she should give some response, but her brain was wooden and her throat was blocked; Jian Huaici’s words went in one ear and out the other, not leaving a single word in her mind. It felt like Jian Huaici was doing a stand-up comedy routine; eventually, she shut up and drove in silence.

Upon reaching the destination, seeing how pitiful she was, Jian Huaici couldn’t help but offer a few words of comfort: “Nothing is insurmountable, keep an open mind… The one in the nursing home is your mother, right? If you need anything, you can find me anytime; I still have some say in the nursing home.”

Although Liu Ran knew she wouldn’t bother Jian Huaici unless she had no other choice, Jian Huaici’s words were a huge comfort to her at this moment.

“Thank you.”

After staying at Huaici Hospital for overnight observation, Bai Yu returned to the nursing home. Auntie Chen was originally unhappy and even a bit blaming of Liu Ran’s sudden loss of contact, but after seeing her, she couldn’t help but say: “Little Liu, no matter how busy your work is, if you can’t come, you should take the time to make a call.”

Looking at Liu Ran’s wretched appearance, Auntie Chen sighed: “Did something happen to you? Weren’t you at work? Did something go wrong with the job? Why have you turned into this state for no reason?”

Liu Ran was leaning over looking at Bai Yu; hearing this, she stood up, but her vision went black before she could speak, and she crouched down on the spot clutching her stomach. Auntie Chen hurried over to help her sit down. “What exactly is going on?”

Liu Ran closed her eyes to ease the dizziness: “Auntie Chen, is there anything to eat? I also want some water.”

After eating some bread and fruit and drinking a bottle of water, Liu Ran recovered a bit of strength. She looked heavily at Bai Yu by the bedside, reached up to take off her hat, and revealed her wolf ears under Auntie Chen’s shocked gaze.

“I’m sorry, Auntie Chen, I lied to you.”

“I wasn’t working… there was work, but it’s not entirely the kind of normal work you understand. I was bought by someone.”

“My boss is actually the master who bought me.”

Liu Ran felt an unprecedented exhaustion. So exhausted she didn’t want to keep pretending anymore.

Auntie Chen sat down beside her. “Tell me about it.”

She finished recounting the experiences of these years intermittently, skipping over many things. Finally having someone to share her secrets with made Liu Ran feel a lot lighter.

Auntie Chen pondered for a moment and said, “Little Liu, I can help you sue Ming Siyu. It’s just that your situation is quite special because there’s a sales contract. If we want to win, the most effective way is to make the matter blow up.”

Liu Ran shook her head: “She has her own legal team; she’s very hard to deal with. Auntie Chen, you’re retired. Regarding the matter of investigating my mother last time, I already don’t know how to thank you, and you’ve helped me care for my mother—I can’t trouble you further. Besides, if you help me sue her, she will absolutely use all kinds of methods to deal with you and torture you.”

“I’ve saved some money; I want to take my mother and leave here.”

Auntie Chen’s thinking was clearer than hers: “Little Liu, have you thought about this? You can run, but if she is determined to catch you back, what will you do? You can avoid using your ID card for public transportation, you can take illegal taxis, and stay in small hotels that don’t require registration, but can your mother handle that kind of turbulence?

To put it bluntly, the combined power of the Ming Group is far, far greater than ours. If Ming Siyu cannot accept your defection and is willing to find you at any cost, no matter where you go, it’s actually only a matter of time.”

Liu Ran fell into a daze. It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered these problems, but she couldn’t think of a countermeasure. She could only gamble that Ming Siyu’s resolve to catch her wasn’t that firm.

She also didn’t quite understand Ming Siyu’s persistence. In Ming Siyu’s eyes, she was just a little toy that could be bought with money was it necessary for Ming Siyu to insist on having her? Was it so unacceptable for Ming Siyu to have her authority challenged? To the point that she didn’t hesitate to use drugging tactics and had to tie her up first even while in a wheelchair?

“It’s not entirely without a way,” Auntie Chen proposed a strategy. “If her career, family, or health encounters a major problem, she might not have the energy to deal with you. Her real estate company has been operating for nearly ten years; if one wants to find violations, they surely can. The entertainment group is even more of a disaster zone for exploiting legal loopholes.”

Saying this, Auntie Chen sighed heavily: “With a business this big, I don’t believe no one has tried to take her down over the years. The fact that none succeeded means either they couldn’t find a fatal flaw in the company at all, or her connections are strong enough.”

Auntie Chen also felt this method had too low a feasibility. Trying to restrain Ming Siyu by prying at the Group was no different than a mayfly trying to shake a giant tree.

For a moment, both fell into melancholy. Auntie Chen suggested Liu Ran not move Bai Yu for now; she just had surgery, so observe for a few days until her condition stabilizes. Liu Ran agreed; at this point, she could only take one step at a time.
