From Trashy A to the Heiress’s Little Son-in-Law After the Idol Competition (GL, ABO) - Chapter 54
Qin Ping and Xiao Liangmu met up like old card-playing buddies catching up. Standing obediently behind Qin Ping was the petite and delicate Qin Yunyin.
Xiao Liangmu gave a meaningful glance: “Let the kids chat.”
Qin Yunyin had just returned from abroad, exuding the aura of a wealthy socialite, adorned with designer bags, like a flower of opulence in the human world.
Yet, despite all this, Xiao Yanjin still believed no one could compare to Ji Yunuo.
In her eyes, Ji Yunuo was irreplaceable.
—I’m on my way!
Ji Yunuo received her message.
She replied: Where?
—Golden Mountain Café. Why do you ask?
—Coming to catch me cheating?
Ji Yunuo didn’t respond. Instead, she called the Ji family butler: “Uncle Ji, arrange a car for me. I’m going to Golden Mountain CafĂ©.”
Receiving no reply from Ji Yunuo, Xiao Yanjin felt disappointed.
Sitting across from her was Qin Yunyin—petite, cute, and speaking in a gentle, considerate tone.
Qin Yunyin took a sip of coffee and smiled. “You’re even more beautiful in person than on TV. The camera really doesn’t do you justice.”
Xiao Yanjin forced a smile and sighed. “I really don’t get why you’re a fan of mine. Everyone knows Xiao Yanjin is an unapologetic spoiled brat who loves slacking off and riding on scandals for fame. What’s there to like?”
Qin Yunyin burst into laughter, completely unfazed by her words.
Instead, she replied with amusement, “You’re really funny.”
Xiao Yanjin: “……” Funny my ass!
Qin Yunyin lifted her porcelain-white cup with slender fingers, lips curving into a smile. “They say reality shows are scripted, but some things are obvious at a glance. Like you, Ah Jin—”
Her red lips parted slightly. “You don’t seem like your old self at all.”
Xiao Yanjin stiffened and coughed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You actually have real talent, especially in vocals—far better than many acclaimed singers. And aside from skill, you’re stunningly beautiful…” Qin Yunyin’s gaze suddenly turned sultry.
Xiao Yanjin felt as if she were being scrutinized head to toe. A chill ran down her spine. Qin Yunyin looked so innocent—was she secretly a yandere?!
As if on cue, she coughed again.
Xiao Yanjin: “……”
Qin Yunyin smiled brightly. “That’s why I became even more curious about you. I’ve always loved exploring things, especially people. How wonderful it would be to get to know you—and now, here we are.” Her hand slid over Xiao Yanjin’s, her eyes seductive. “Don’t you want to get to know each other… deeply?”
She was exactly the type alphas adored, but Xiao Yanjin wasn’t interested. From start to finish, Ji Yunuo was her ideal.
Xiao Yanjin firmly pulled her hand away and exclaimed, “No way!”
The outburst drew the attention of Xiao Liangmu and Qin Ping. Xiao Liangmu snapped, “Xiao Yanjin! What are you doing?!”
Xiao Yanjin marched up to them and declared to Qin Ping, “Uncle Qin, your daughter and I are completely incompatible! I don’t want any blind dates—I only want the person I love!”
Qin Ping frowned. “Liangmu, what does she mean? Does she already have someone she likes?”
Xiao Liangmu sighed helplessly. “I have no idea.”
Qin Yunyin quickly intervened, “Dad, Uncle Xiao, why don’t you both go sit somewhere else for a while? I’d like to talk more with Ajin.”
Qin Ping sighed and said patiently, “If you’re not satisfied, I won’t force it.” With that, he pulled Xiao Liangmu away.
Xiao Yanjin faintly overheard Qin Ping’s dissatisfied remark: “What’s wrong with your daughter? Who even knows how she debuted!”
“I don’t think this blind date needs to continue,” Xiao Yanjin chuckled. “Thanks for making time in your busy schedule.”
“Xiao Yanjin, who do you think you’re looking down on?” As soon as the words were spoken, three more figures appeared at the door.
Xiao Yanjin glanced at them one by one—she recognized them all.
“Oh, it’s you guys.”
“Since we’re old friends, how about grabbing a meal before you leave?” Yu Fan raised an eyebrow.
“No need, I have things to do.”
Just as she was about to step away, Fu Cheng blocked her path, refusing to let her leave.
Qin Yunyin’s voice rang out from behind: “I really don’t know what Dad was thinking, insisting I go on a blind date with a scummy Alpha. Isn’t that just throwing me into hell?”
Xiao Yanjin’s heart jolted. The previously sweet and docile voice had instantly turned sharp and domineering, dripping with disdain—like a spoiled, venomous heiress.
Then she saw Jiang Quyou smugly wrap an arm around Qin Yunyin’s shoulder. So, the two of them were a couple.
“Xiao Yanjin, take a good look at whose girlfriend this is!” Jiang Quyou glared at her. “If the Xiao family hadn’t gone bankrupt, I might’ve still shown you some respect. But you’re nothing now. What’s the point of debuting? Everyone says you offended the Chu family—once your group disbands, you’ll be left with nothing!”
Fu Cheng and Yu Fan laughed mockingly without restraint.
Qin Yunyin covered her mouth in a giggle, her expression full of disdain. “Did you really think you were some idol with tons of fans fawning over you? In the end, you’re just someone covered in scandals. I’d love to see which wealthy heiress would even want you.”
Fu Cheng sneered, “She’s just a pathetic follower, always trailing behind Miss Ji. Miss Ji only tolerates her out of pity, but she actually thinks the young lady likes her. She even buys promotions to push their ‘CP’—bet those so-called fans are all bought too.”
Xiao Yanjin shrugged. Since Xiao Liangmu and Qin Ping weren’t here, it seemed she wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon.
So she calmly sat back down and finished her coffee.
The others were stunned.
“Hey, aren’t you going to say anything? Or did you really let your idol persona rot your brain into shamelessness?” Yu Fan snapped.
Xiao Yanjin merely picked at her ear and smiled. “Go on.”
Fu Cheng was furious. This person seemed to have no weaknesses—no matter how much they insulted her, she remained unfazed. She wasn’t like before, when the slightest provocation would set her off like a powder keg.
“Once you’re done, you can leave. As for the blind date…” Xiao Yanjin turned her gaze to Qin Yunyin.
Qin Yunyin felt as if she were staring into the eyes of a prowling snow wolf—cold, ruthless, and filled with hidden danger, sending a shiver down her spine.
How could this seemingly docile Alpha have such a gaze?
“Did you think I was the one insisting on this blind date?” Xiao Yanjin licked her lips with a smirk. “I get it now. You already have a boyfriend, yet you agreed to meet me—was this all just a setup to mock me with him?”
Xiao Yanjin’s blunt guess hit the mark. Qin Yunyin let out a guilty hum.
“Interesting.” Xiao Yanjin clapped her hands.
Once, twice—each clap made the people around her tremble inwardly.
“What’s so interesting?” Yu Fan said coldly.
“Since my debut, no one has dared to play pranks in front of me,” Xiao Yanjin said, her icy gaze fixed on them. “You’re the first.”
Xiao Yanjin sighed. “It really is amusing to encounter something like this for the first time.”
Back in the day, she and her older sister used to play pranks on each other—one of the few joys of their youth.
Yu Fan and Fu Cheng exchanged glances, sensing the violent aura about to erupt from the woman before them.
“Miss Qin…” Xiao Yanjin turned to Qin Yunyin, her lips curling into an enigmatic smile. “What kind of socialite even are you?”
“Xiao Yanjin! How dare you spout such nonsense!” Qin Yunyin’s delicate face twisted in fury. Never in her life had anyone dared to speak to her like this.
“Your taste must be clouded by a thick layer of eye gunk if you could fall for someone like Jiang Quyou. Do you even know what kind of person he is? If he’s really your boyfriend, why would Uncle Qin still arrange blind dates for you? Ah, I see—you haven’t told him yet. That just proves Jiang Quyou is such a scumbag he’s not even worth acknowledging publicly.”
“You’re full of shit!” Jiang Quyou shouted.
“Full of shit? My words aren’t half as vile as yours.” Xiao Yanjin took slow, deliberate steps forward, a sly grin on her face. Jiang Quyou stumbled backward, cold sweat breaking out all over his body. “Jiang Quyou, take a good look at yourself—utterly worthless, rotten to the core, hiding daggers behind smiles, honeyed words concealing venom, shameless and despicable. What right does a brain-dead alpha who got kicked in the head by a donkey and drenched in amniotic fluid have to call me a scumbag?”
Fu Cheng and Yu Fan exchanged stunned glances. Since when did Xiao Yanjin, this uncultured alpha, know so many idioms?
“And you,” Xiao Yanjin continued, turning back to Qin Yunyin, “flaunting your family’s wealth to pose as some high-society socialite. Sorry to break it to you, but falling for Jiang Quyou proves you’re anything but. You’re just a spoiled brat with money, addicted to smoking, drinking, and trashy alphas. A real socialite wouldn’t be so jealous and mocking while having zero substance.”
Xiao Yanjin held nothing back. Insulting people without a single curse word was her specialty—a master of verbal warfare, unmatched in debate!
Qin Yunyin’s face turned deathly pale, rendered speechless.
Xiao Yanjin then shifted her gaze to the other two.
Fu Cheng and Yu Fan sucked in a sharp breath as the woman let out a cold, mocking snort.
“Xiao Yanjin, don’t even think about leaving here today!” Jiang Quyou declared, only to be cut off by a commanding voice.
“Xiao Yanjin, I’m late.”
A cool, composed voice rang out from the doorway.
Xiao Yanjin’s eyes widened slightly. It was Ji Yunuo’s voice.
She really came to catch her in the act—no, wait, to steal her away!
Ji Yunuo’s long, raven-black hair fluttered in the breeze, her scent carrying the fresh aroma of lime. Dressed in an elegant blue-green gown, her usual icy demeanor was softened by an inexplicable playfulness.
Everyone else stared, mesmerized, while Xiao Yanjin screamed internally.
Nuo-jie! This isn’t a runway show!
Come save your girlfriend!!
The moment Ji Yunuo appeared, not a soul dared to speak another word.
Rumors said that among all the elite families, the eldest daughter of the Ji family was the least sociable. No one had ever managed to hold a proper conversation with her—some hadn’t even seen her face before.
Yet it was unbelievable that this young lady actually debuted through an audition show.
Qin Yunyin froze for a moment, staring at Ji Yunuo for a long while before breaking into a smile. “You… you’re Ji Yunuo.”
Ji Yunuo nodded calmly and even politely added, “Hello.”
Fu Cheng chuckled. “Miss Ji, what brings you here?”
Bodyguard Ade suddenly stepped in front of her. “Apologies, but please keep your distance from the young lady.”
Fu Cheng: “Why?”
Ade: “The young lady dislikes others getting too close to her. All alphas, betas—especially males—must maintain a distance of at least one meter.”
Xiao Yanjin was momentarily stunned. Before she and Ji Yunuo got together, she had accidentally brushed hands with her and even ridden in her car, sitting extremely close. Back then, she hadn’t sensed any aversion from Ji Yunuo.
The realization sparked an inexplicable thrill in her heart.
Ji Yunuo tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her delicate profile instantly visible.
Compared to Qin Yunyin, who had just made her entrance—petite, adorable, and graceful—Ji Yunuo exuded an aura that made unworthy alphas hesitate to approach. And now, this queen-like figure belonged solely to Xiao Yanjin.
Her icy voice carried a hint of warmth as she said, “I came here to find Xiao Yanjin.”
What?!
Jiang Quyou and Yu Fan exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.
What was their relationship? Just the ship that fans had imagined? The only other rumor was Xiao Yanjin deliberately pursuing the wealthy heiress. But the aloof and proud Miss Ji had actually come here to look for Xiao Yanjin!
All eyes were fixed on Ji Yunuo, yet she showed no sign of nervousness. Pressing her lips together, she murmured softly, “Xiao Yanjin, do you still intend to keep the promise you made to me?”
Fu Cheng cautiously asked, “Miss Ji, are you taking her for dance training?”
Ji Yunuo’s eyes gleamed. “Of course not. Dance training can happen anytime.” She tilted her head slightly and let out a light laugh. “I’m inviting Xiao Yanjin to a ball.”
