Full-Level Quick Transmigration Expert: The Scum Man Reform Manual - Chapter 16
The Substitute Omega is Soft and Delicate (16)
Lin Xiyao packed up the leftovers, demonstrating his frugal nature. In Shen Wenbai’s eyes, the “bad cat” was a peerless, good cat today.
Song Qing, who had been waiting for a chance to stage a fake traffic accident to get close to them, did not understand: why was this brother of hers acting like a starving wolf that had not eaten in eight hundred years?
Seeing that the two were about to leave, Song Qing made her move, throwing herself in front of the car.
“Oh my, someone is trying to scam us. I am calling the police immediately,” Lin Xiyao said, his reaction lightning fast.
Song Qing froze, dumbfounded. What kind of plot was this?
“Do not try to scam me; I have a mental illness,” Shen Wenbai said, sticking to his self-deprecating routine. It was not exactly a lie, as his mental state had always been mediocre.
He remembered when he first took a fancy to the “bad cat” and wanted to pet him. The cat had swiped its paws across his face, delivering a dozen slaps, and they had been enemies ever since.
Lin Xiyao looked at Shen Wenbai with an expression reserved for idiots. Was this guy genuinely stupid, or just playing dumb?
“What are you thinking? Do you want to be chivalrous?”
Lin Xiyao did not know what came over him, but his hand felt itchy, and he wanted to swing it at Shen Wenbai’s face.
The look in his eyes seemed familiar. Shen Wenbai started the car, drove around Song Qing, and went home to coddle his bad cat. Otherwise, if the cat got angry, it might abandon its owner.
“Do not be jealous; my heart belongs only to you,” Shen Wenbai soothed.
“I have no interest in being jealous,” Lin Xiyao pouted. He was not jealous; he was just worried about his pocket money.
Song Qing thought: For the sake of power, keep working hard! Even if I have to take a step back, can Father not just kick the bucket already?
Back home, Lin Xiyao sat in a rocking chair, enjoying the warm breeze on his face.
“Meow.” A little orange cat ran out from the room, pounced onto the rocking chair, and rubbed against Lin Xiyao. “Meow, meow, meow.”
Lin Xiyao patted its head. The little orange cat narrowed its eyes, enjoying the touch from the beautiful Omega, its tail swishing back and forth in pure comfort.
As he petted it, Lin Xiyao realized something was off. Where did this cat come from?
“Honey, when did you buy this cat? It is so cute!”
“I did not buy it; I snagged it from the roadside before anyone else could.” Shen Wenbai was holding the mother cat in his arms. He was clever; he had rescued both mother and daughter.
“You are too kind.” Lin Xiyao was incredibly touched and hugged Shen Wenbai, kissing him twice.
It felt like, many years ago, he too had been scooped up and taken home by Shen Wenbai.
The mother cat was very thin. As Lin Xiyao held her, her pair of blue eyes shone brightly, making it impossible to look away.
“Meow.”
The white cat had given birth to one little orange kitten.
“Do not worry, I will raise you from now on. We will live a prosperous life together.”
“Meow.”
The cat could not understand, but she liked the human in front of her.
The nanny prepared cat food for the two, and after they were healthy, they were sent to be spayed.
At night, just as Shen Wenbai was preparing to tuck Lin Xiyao in, his phone rang. He took one look at the number and decisively rejected the call.
Shen Wenbai did not like answering calls from strangers. However, the caller was persistent. Only the original host’s spoiled mother could be this tenacious.
He answered, and as expected, it was her.
“Your father actually has a mistress, that vixen, flaunting her pregnant belly right in front of me.”
“Then get a divorce. I will hire a lawyer to help you split the assets.”
“How can you say such a thing, child? Wishing for your parents to divorce.”
Shen Wenbai hung up, scratching his head in frustration. These headaches happened every so often, and they were the blemishes of his life.
He thought it would be easier to just kill them all. If they could not live together, they could die together; how romantic!
Shen Wenbai was neither a good person nor a reasonable one. The humans who annoyed him had already been reincarnated.
The Shen couple enjoyed the “restart” script. The chairman of the Shen Corporation was gone, and according to inheritance laws, illegitimate children have the same inheritance rights as legitimate ones.
Shen Wenjie secretly made moves against Lin Xiyao for the sake of the assets. Shen Wenjie was the known illegitimate child, and the unknown ones were stirring as well. Unfortunately, Shen Xiangchuan was already dead, making paternity tests impossible. With the old test results surfacing, who knew what Shen Wenjie might try to do?
Shen Wenbai did not fight for the Shen Corporation. The original host was already dead, and he was not a member of the Shen family anyway. Besides, the Shen Corporation was just a hollow shell, on the verge of bankruptcy.
The “Bad Luck Aura” was truly an excellent tool.
Lin Xiyao had a whim to visit the office for a surprise inspection, hoping to find something interesting. Feeling that he had lost face, Shen Wenbai tossed him five hundred million and told him to spend the rest of his life alone with the money.
Whether Alpha, Beta, or Omega, he did not want to find anyone else anymore. He was tired of it, and he had become impotent at such a young age.
Shen Wenbai sat in his office planning how to make more money. The new secretarial assistant walked over with coffee. Seeing Shen Wenbai not looking at her, she smiled shyly. “BOSS, here is your coffee.”
“Mm.” Shen Wenbai took a sip, but the taste was different from what he usually drank. It was too sweet, excessively so.
Shen Wenbai frowned and poured the coffee away. A flash of dissatisfaction crossed the assistant’s eyes before it vanished, quickly returning to normal.
“Do not meddle in work that does not belong to you,” Shen Wenbai said coldly before lowering his head to handle documents.
The assistant left, looking aggrieved. She was just entering the workforce and did not know the rules; it was normal to be scolded by the boss, right?
The secretary saw the assistant assigned to her looking like a wet blanket and felt even worse. She did not know where this connection-hire came from! She could not do any work, and when asked to learn, she just cried.
Rich girls, please stop fighting with the corporate ox for jobs!
“I am too stupid; I made President Shen angry,” Geng Ruanruan said, her head hanging low, not daring to look at the strange gazes of those around her.
Was she really that stupid?
She clearly remembered being very smart, graduating from a prestigious university with excellent grades. Why had she become so clumsy after coming to this company?
Could it be that President Shen was bad luck for her?
Lin Xiyao strolled over, carrying two buckets of milk tea, humming a tune. Seeing some excitement ahead, he slowed his pace.
“Do not look at work that is not yours to do. If you want to perform, do it on the job. President Shen has professionals to handle his personal affairs; he does not need you,” the secretary said with a sigh.
Geng Ruanruan looked up at her, eyes red and swollen, biting her lip and shaking her head stubbornly. “No, I did not mean to. I just.”
The secretary rolled her eyes. “Fine, go get to work.”
Geng Ruanruan walked away with her head down. Seeing the milk tea in Lin Xiyao’s hand, she kindly warned him, “President Shen does not drink things that are too sweet. Be careful or you will get yelled at.”
“It is fine, this is not for him, it is for me,” Lin Xiyao said, shaking the milk tea. “Thanks, you are really thoughtful!”
“Y-you are welcome.”
Geng Ruanruan watched his dashing retreating back and sighed: There is still kindness in this world. Geng Ruanruan, cheer up!
Yuanxiao returned from work and glanced at Geng Ruanruan. The plot was progressing fast. Were the resources in this small world so tight that the heroine had gone to the wrong company?
The domineering president who usually says “Woman, you are playing with fire” was in the company next door.
Coincidentally, the president next door, Liu Bo, came to negotiate business with Shen Wenbai. In a moment of carelessness, he bumped into Geng Ruanruan.
Yuanxiao: Oh my, a classic scene! I must record this to share with the Host.
Lin Xiyao had not entered the office yet, and hearing the crying, he jogged over to watch the spectacle.
“Does this woman not have eyes? Bumping into me,” Liu Bo said, pushing Geng Ruanruan away. Geng Ruanruan fell to the floor, bruising her knees, and the pain made her cry out.
“Wuwuwu.”
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Lin Xiyao was coughing frantically. He had been watching so intently that he had not chewed his pearls, and the drink had gone down the wrong pipe.
Seeing this, Liu Bo pointed at Lin Xiyao’s nose and cursed, “You Omega, how bold of you, actually filming me in secret.”
Lin Xiyao pointed at himself. “Ah, me? I have eyes, you know!”
Liu Bo felt his handsomeness had been insulted. “I am warning you, you had better keep your mouth shut, or I will call security to kick you out.”
Talk about topsy-turvy! Lin Xiyao was not having it. “This is Shen Wenbai’s company, why do you get to tell me to get out?”
“I said keep your mouth shut, do not make me say it a third time!” Liu Bo’s eyes widened. “Do you believe I can make you disappear?”
Lin Xiyao stood with his chest puffed out, fearless. “Come on then! Give it a try! I am a person, and you are a person too, why should I be afraid of you?”
He had already planned it out; if this guy moved first, he could buy a new car later, maybe a green Lamborghini.
Liu Bo did not strike. After all, this was not his territory. He decided he would just offer a few extra points of profit later to make Shen Wenbai fire this employee.
Lin Xiyao took a sip of milk tea. Car-buying plan failed!
“Thank you, you are such a good person,” Geng Ruanruan said, deeply grateful for Lin Xiyao’s righteous rescue. As expected, the ones who save Omegas are other Omegas.
Lin Xiyao: “?”
