Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Face Slapping

Xu Ruozhou repeatedly pressed Wen Yan for the meaning of that sentence.

What is everything that rightfully belongs to her?

Wen Yan smiled and refused to answer.

Since that day, Xu Ruozhou clearly felt that Wen Yan was even more concerned about her.

In addition to accompanying her to class, Wen Yan would also proactively inquire about company matters.

Afraid that Wen Yan wouldn’t understand, Xu Ruozhou explained everything in great detail.

To her surprise, although Wen Yan didn’t know many things, her judgment on numerous matters was almost identical to hers.

Moreover, she was even more certain than Xu Ruozhou.

“Wife, trust me, although this actor’s acting skills are poor, he could be a huge hit as an idol. You absolutely must sign him.”

“This piece of land is very suitable for developing an amusement park. I think a bid of around $1$ billion should secure it.”

Such instances were countless.

The more Xu Ruozhou listened, the more astonished she became.

Because Wen Yan’s predictions were incredibly accurate, almost as if she had traveled from the future.

The sky was clear and vast.

Wen Yan stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the glittering temple, her expression somewhat bewildered.

“Wife, why did you bring me to a temple?”

Xu Ruozhou was expressionless. “To seek blessings from the gods and Buddha.”

Wen Yan: “…?”

Wen Yan was momentarily choked by those four words, finally managing to squeeze out a sentence. “Wife, we must believe in science.”

Xu Ruozhou gave her a faint glance. “You can believe in science.”

Wen Yan showed a relieved smile. “That’s right, wife! The world is scientific!”

“But I don’t believe that.”

Wen Yan: …

The temple Xu Ruozhou brought Wen Yan to was located halfway up a high mountain, about $3,000$ steps from the ground, with no direct cable car access.

Despite this, the temple was still heavily visited, with many coming to kowtow and fulfill vows.

Wen Yan was pulled by Xu Ruozhou into a secluded hall.

In the center of the hall was a clay statue of a Bodhisattva, seated on a lotus throne.

On either side were the boy Sudhana and the dignified Dragon Princess. An incense burner was placed in front of the Bodhisattva statue, and a solid wood donation box was on the right.

The donation box looked completely empty.

Wen Yan couldn’t help but inwardly scoff.

The incense is this strong, but there’s not a penny in the donation box. It’s probably been taken by some monk.

Wen Yan leaned against the pillar of the front hall. Bored, she secretly observed Xu Ruozhou out of the corner of her eye.

The Omega knelt on the meditation cushion, hands pressed together, her expression devout. It seemed she truly had a strong wish she wanted to fulfill.

They spent all their time together. When did Xu Ruozhou develop a wish she wanted to fulfill so badly without telling her?

Wen Yan suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Xu Ruozhou would rather make a wish to the Bodhisattva than tell her about it.

The Omega stood up after offering incense. Wen Yan concealed the strange emotion in her heart, walked over to help her up, and casually asked, “Wife, what did you wish for?”

Xu Ruozhou patted the dust off her knees, gave her a meaningful look, and then silently retracted her gaze. “If I say it out loud, it won’t come true.”

“Sincerity makes it work.” Wen Yan playfully shook the Omega’s hand. “Wife, just tell me~”

“No.” Xu Ruozhou said, “You wait here for me. I need to donate some incense money.”

The coyness tactic failed. Wen Yan pouted with grievance.

In front of the donation box, Xu Ruozhou took out a stack of banknotes as thick as a brick from her bag.

Wen Yan’s eyes widened. She reached out to stop her. “Wife, isn’t that… a bit too much?”

The reddish-brown eyes looked over calmly. “Because it’s a very important wish.”

Wen Yan: …

Wen Yan made a silent decision.

When they got back, she absolutely had to hire a tutor to teach Xu Ruozhou about materialism, to cure her of her feudal superstition.

“Let’s go.” Xu Ruozhou placed all the money she brought into the donation box and pulled Wen Yan’s arm, only to find her motionless.

Xu Ruozhou frowned slightly, following her gaze, and realized Wen Yan was staring at the Bodhisattva’s eyes.

“Wen Yan, what’s wrong?”

Wen Yan shook her head. “Nothing. It must be my imagination.”

Just now, when Xu Ruozhou turned around, her eyes were momentarily blinded by the golden light.

She fleetingly saw the Bodhisattva’s eyes gazing gently at Xu Ruozhou’s back, as if—

It had heard her wish.

“Let’s go, wife.”

Wen Yan quickly forgot about the incident and continued to urge Xu Ruozhou to practice the violin, which lasted until the night before the fake daughter’s engagement banquet.

In front of the villa, an exaggeratedly styled red Lamborghini sports car was parked.

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise when she saw the car.

Good heavens.

The Xu family’s display is still so extravagant.

What surprised her more was that the person delivering the engagement banquet invitation was not the Xu family’s chauffeur, but the fake daughter herself.

“Sister Wen Yan, long time no see.”

The Omega smiled sweetly and walked toward Wen Yan, extending her hand. The white lace glove was spotless, and her slender wrist looked fragile.

Heh heh.

I hope I never see you again for the rest of my life.

Every time she saw the fake daughter, she would get into trouble.

Wen Yan offered the fake daughter a fake smile and quickly took the invitation card tucked between her fingers. “No need for a handshake, Sister Mingxin.”

“I’ll say it again: you are an Omega, and I am a married Alpha. AO should maintain distance.”

“I’m afraid your sister will misunderstand.”

Since her engagement to the Li family, Xu Mingxin hadn’t been humiliated like this. Thinking that the person was Wen Yan, who used to passionately pursue her, she felt slightly better but also more wronged.

The fake daughter bit her lower lip, looking pitiful. “Sister Wen Yan, I personally came to deliver your invitation because I wanted to ask, do we really have to be like this?”

“I admit I considered letting you marry my sister back then, but that was just temporary. You know, in my heart, you are the same as all my other suitors.”

“I never looked down on you because of your low pheromone grade.”

Wen Yan inwardly rolled her eyes.

Of course, you didn’t look down on the original host because of her low pheromone grade.

Because you weren’t interested in her as a person; you were only interested in her money.

The fake daughter’s eyes were slightly red. She leaned forward, looking utterly heartbroken. “Wen Yan, you seem to have changed. You’re not like yourself anymore.”

“Do you remember?”

“You always spent lavishly on me at auctions, bought me the jewelry I liked, and I enjoyed wearing pretty dresses and dancing for you in the garden. We were so happy back then.”

Happy, my foot! The only one who was happy was you.

Wen Yan took half a step back, separating herself with a forced smile.

“Sister Mingxin, you are too close. I emphasize again, I am engaged to your sister. We should maintain…”

Before she could finish, the Omega, with red eyes, suddenly lunged into her arms.

Wen Yan: !!!

No way.

Throwing herself into my arms???

Before Wen Yan could react, she suddenly felt a force from behind pulling her backward.

She stumbled, nearly falling.

“Who is it? That’s so rude—”

She turned her head and saw a pair of reddish-brown eyes blazing with anger staring intensely at her.

Aaaahhhhhhh!

Wen Yan quickly steadied herself and explained in a flustered manner. “Wife, listen to my rebuttal… I mean, explanation. I wasn’t trying to hug her. She lunged at me. I…”

My loyalty to you is visible to the heavens!

“I know.”

The cold voice appeared in her ear. Wen Yan sighed in relief, but the temperature around her suddenly dropped. She shrinked her neck timidly and shot a look of pity at the fake daughter who had fallen flat on her face.

Xu Mingxin landed face-first on the ground. She had intentionally worn a heavy-skirted dress to look beautiful today. After falling, she tried several times but couldn’t get up.

When had a pampered little princess like her ever suffered such humiliation?

She finally snapped. Her usually sweet voice turned venomous, mixed with resentment. “Wen Yan, how long are you going to stand there? Hurry up and help me!”

After waiting for a long time, footsteps finally approached her.

Xu Mingxin sighed in relief. “Smart of you, Wen Yan. You…”

A shoe sole stepped onto her shoulder. Xu Mingxin froze and looked up.

She saw a face she was all too familiar with.

Xu Ruozhou?!

Before Xu Mingxin could recover, the cheap shoe sole suddenly pressed down hard on her shoulder.

“Ah!”

Xu Mingxin’s hand, which was braced on the ground, couldn’t bear the weight. Her spine, which she had managed to straighten, collapsed again.

Xu Mingxin was furious.

How dare Xu Ruozhou, that lowly servant, step on her?!

The Omega’s hair was messy, and her dress was soaked with mud beyond recognition. She was utterly disheveled.

Xu Mingxin screamed hysterically. “Xu Ruozhou, how dare you do this to me?!”

She completely abandoned the gentle image she usually presented to her suitors. “I’m telling Mom and Dad when I get home. You won’t get a penny from the Xu family ever again!”

“Is that so?”

The foot on her shoulder slowly moved away. A sharp gleam flashed in Xu Mingxin’s eyes. Xu Ruozhou is afraid of me after all.

The Omega arrogantly lifted her neck, her tone condescending. “Now hurry up and help me up, or you’ll regret it when I get home.”

A pair of cool hands pulled her forearm, easily helping her stand up.

Xu Mingxin gripped her muddy skirt, unable to hide the relief in her expression. “Xu Ruozhou, smart of you. Otherwise…”

“Slap—”

A fierce gust of wind whistled past her ear, knocking her backward.

Xu Mingxin screamed, clutching her left cheek, which was swelling up like a pig’s head.

She looked incredulously at the weak Omega she used to bully at home.

H-how is this possible?

Xu Ruozhou dared to hit her.

Gazing at those unfamiliar reddish-brown eyes, Xu Mingxin froze.

Was this still Xu Ruozhou?

She felt as if she was seeing the Grim Reaper with a scythe, an Asura from hell, slowly approaching her.

Xu Mingxin’s pupils dilated in terror. She backed away repeatedly, her language system so jumbled that she couldn’t utter a complete sentence, only screaming repeatedly.

Like an ancient beast using screams to ward off a primitive tribe carrying weapons.

Xu Ruozhou stared at her expressionlessly, casually picking up a stick from the doorway.

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands grabbed her arm.

The disheveled fake daughter’s eyes suddenly lit up at the sight, as if seeing a ray of hope. “Wen-Wen Yan?”

Xu Mingxin’s eyes darted around. “Wen Yan, you saw what just happened, didn’t you?”

The fake daughter’s eyes were bloodshot. She pointed at Xu Ruozhou’s face. “Look how vicious she is when she hits people, how malicious. We’ve all been deceived by her.”

“Quick, help me, Wen Yan.”

Hearing Wen Yan’s name, Xu Ruozhou’s hand holding the stick paused slightly.

Turning around, Xu Ruozhou saw Wen Yan’s deeply furrowed brow and suddenly froze.

Xu Ruozhou rarely felt afraid.

She wasn’t afraid when she used a branch to whip the face of the Alpha who stole her food. She wasn’t afraid when she walked on thin ice in the Xu family. She wasn’t afraid when she was drugged and trapped in a hotel.

Only now.

She was afraid of hearing Wen Yan’s accusation.

Xu Ruozhou subconsciously hid the iron stick behind her and started to explain. “Wen Yan, I only wanted to teach her a lesson. I didn’t mean to really…”

The iron stick clattered to the ground. The hands hidden behind her back were tightly wrapped in the Alpha’s warm palms. Xu Ruozhou was momentarily stunned and slowly raised her eyes.

She didn’t hear the expected disappointed accusation. She saw Wen Yan frowning, tenderly blowing on her flushed hand, like the gentle spring breeze stroking her cheek.

“Wife, does your hand hurt?”
