Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: The Blue Diamond

In the Xu family villa’s garden, a large pile of old clothes was thrown out. Xu Mingxin clutched the expensive dresses, looking at the indifferent Mother Xu on the steps with disbelief.

Her expression was pitiful and delicate, but her consciousness was utterly frantic. She screamed madly at the invisible presence in the void.

“Why is this happening?”

“How can this be? Speak to me!”

“Why aren’t you talking? Tell me, why can’t I defeat Xu Ruozhou? Why?!”

After a long silence, the weak System finally spoke slowly, “Host, you should first figure out how to handle the current situation.”

“My energy is nearly exhausted. I need to go into hibernation for a while.”

“Don’t go! You can’t go! If you leave, what will I do?!”

Xu Mingxin screamed hysterically, yet the pitiful expression on her face remained unchanged.

The System’s voice vanished into the void, seemingly having gone into hibernation. Xu Mingxin took a deep breath, knelt directly before the Xu family steps, and looked up pitifully at Mother Xu, the woman who had raised her for over twenty years.

“Mother, you can’t treat me like this. I am your child. I have always regarded you as my birth mother.”

The normally doting Mother Xu couldn’t hide the disgust on her face. She couldn’t even look at Xu Mingxin’s face, as the sight of her made her feel sick and uneasy.

Who would have thought that Xu Mingxin was actually the illegitimate daughter of her husband and that nanny with a genetic disease?

Mother Xu’s tone was cold. “Xu Mingxin, I am giving you some leeway today because I assume you didn’t know about this. I’m throwing out all these things bought with the Xu family’s money. If you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for disowning you completely.”

The large door behind Mother Xu slowly opened. Xu Mingxin saw Father Xu, and a glimmer of hope lit up in her eyes. She hoped Father Xu would try to persuade Mother Xu. After all, she was his biological daughter. Although illegitimate, she was still closer than having no blood relation at all before.

Unfortunately—

Father Xu stood cautiously behind Mother Xu, massaging her shoulders. His shrewd eyes glanced at Xu Mingxin kneeling on the ground, and he frowned. “Wife, why hasn’t she left yet?”

Mother Xu turned around and glared at him fiercely. “You have the nerve to ask? Isn’t this your mess? How could you be so unclear about such an important matter?”

“All these years, you’ve kept the daughter of that dismissed nanny in our home.”

Father Xu rubbed his nose. “Well, well, I didn’t expect it either. Who knew that Nanny Wang would be so bold as to secretly switch the babies? The one we originally kept should have been…”

“Wife, you have to sympathize with me. I was also thinking about your health, otherwise I wouldn’t have…”

Mother Xu glared at him. “Don’t say such things outside.”

Father Xu quickly covered his mouth.

Xu Mingxin knelt on the ground, her tears wetting the cold concrete slab. She was getting confused. She couldn’t tell whether her current tears were acted or genuine.

She looked up at the high and mighty Father and Mother Xu, genuinely unable to understand why they spared no effort to treat her well when she wasn’t their child, but now that she had a blood relation to Father Xu, she was discarded like a worn-out shoe.

Was it simply because her biological mother was a low-status Omega nanny?

The System’s energy was getting weaker, and Xu Mingxin couldn’t ask it for help, but the egoistic education she received in the Xu family prevented her from leaving just like that.

A cunning, ruthless light flashed in Xu Mingxin’s eyes. She slowly got up from the ground and stood before Father and Mother Xu.

Mother Xu’s expression was cold. “Are you finally ready to leave?”

Xu Mingxin shook her head. “Leave?”

“I haven’t taken my jewelry and accessories yet. Why should I leave?”

Mother Xu and Father Xu exchanged glances and laughed when they heard her. “Which one of your things wasn’t bought with the Xu family’s money?”

“It’s already our mercy to let you take those old clothes. If you push your luck, don’t blame us for being impolite.”

Xu Mingxin didn’t change her expression. “Who said all my things were bought with the Xu family’s money?”

Mother Xu frowned slightly.

“…”

Xu Mingxin randomly picked up a piece of clothing from the ground, tore off the lace pattern, and wrapped the jewelry she was holding inside.

The combined value of these accessories was enough to buy an office building. Most of them were gifts from Wen Yan.

Except for that blue diamond necklace that emitted a captivating, deep blue light.

That was the gift she had snatched from Xu Ruozhou.

Xu Mingxin slowly lowered her eyelids and asked in her mind, “System, are you still there?”

Silence.

Xu Mingxin looked at the auction house sign, hesitating for a long time at the entrance.

Not until the hateful faces of Father Xu and Mother Xu flashed in her mind, and the image of Xu Ruozhou probably hiding in some corner watching her misery, did she bite her lower lip, deciding to reluctantly part with her precious item.

Money, she needed more money.

Only with enough money would she have a chance to turn the tables.

The servants in the Wen family villa were replaced, with only those whose backgrounds were clear and reliable being allowed to stay.

In addition, Xu Ruozhou spent a fortune to redecorate the entire villa.

Wen Yan looked at the newly installed bulletproof glass on the floor-to-ceiling windows. She tugged on Xu Ruozhou’s sleeve, an expression of hidden reluctance on her face. “Uh… Wife, I remember private gun ownership is illegal here. Replacing it with bulletproof glass is really unnecessary.”

Xu Ruozhou glanced at her flatly. “Didn’t you say that at the end of the plot, I held a gun and blew Xu Mingxin’s head off?”

“Uh…”

“So, this kind of situation is still very likely to happen. We must be prepared for the worst.”

That makes some sense, I guess?

Wen Yan looked at the bulletproof glass for a long time and finally found it acceptable, but…

Wen Yan stared at the networked surveillance cameras placed in every corner, providing a 360-degree view. She put on an expression of utter resignation.

Who could tell her why the house was riddled with surveillance like a sieve?!

Not only were cameras installed in common areas, but even their bedroom was equipped with surveillance by Xu Ruozhou, offering a 360-degree view!

Wen Yan forced a smile, pointing to the camera glowing green in the bedroom. “Wife, when we sleep, will this thing still be on?”

“Yes.”

Wen Yan: “This…”

Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?

Before Wen Yan could finish, Xu Ruozhou added, “Don’t worry.”

“I had experts from the technology department modify this camera. It has a firewall-level system, impossible for hackers to breach, and only the two of us have the authority to view the footage.”

“If you’re worried about privacy, I can demonstrate the strength of this newly developed system for you.”

“…No need.”

Wen Yan swallowed the rest of her words. Xu Ruozhou was truly too thorough. Wen Yan looked at the camera in the bedroom with a resentful expression.

Xu Ruozhou went to check the strength of the bulletproof glass. Wen Yan leaned against the door, sighing.

Sigh, when will these days finally be peaceful?

The garden was filled with the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers. She overheard some complaining from the servants.

“There are cameras everywhere. No privacy at all.”

“Oh, don’t talk about it. Who told a traitor to be in the villa, and something like trying to assassinate CEO Wen to happen?”

“Exactly. Who would have thought that Aunt Wang, who was around us, was actually the biological mother of the fake daughter kicked out by the Xu family? She’s an Omega pretending to be a Beta and working in the Wen family for so many years, and we didn’t notice at all.”

Wen Yan frowned slightly.

Xu Mingxin was kicked out of the Xu family?

When did that happen?

In less than a day, the news about Xu Mingxin being the daughter of Father Xu and the nanny had spread, and even the house servants knew.

At this speed, Wen Yan couldn’t think of anyone else responsible except Xu Ruozhou.

Just then, Xu Ruozhou finished checking the bulletproof glass and walked towards her. Wen Yan pulled her to a secluded corner away from the people. Xu Ruozhou looked at her confusedly. Wen Yan asked, “Wife, was you behind Xu Mingxin being kicked out of the Xu family?”

“Oh, you mean that.”

Xu Ruozhou nodded carelessly, as if it were a trivial interlude. “I sent Lin Xi to the PR department to do it. She did a pretty good job. In less than half a day, the entire wealthy circle knew about it. Who did you hear it from?”

Wen Yan didn’t answer her question, but her frown deepened. “The Xu family just kicked Xu Mingxin out like that?”

“That simple?”

The speed at which the Xu family abandoned Xu Mingxin far exceeded Wen Yan’s imagination.

After all, in the original book, the Xu family always stood behind Xu Mingxin. They continued to oppose Xu Ruozhou’s company until Father Xu and Mother Xu were sent to the psychiatric hospital by Xu Ruozhou.

“Who knows what they’re thinking.” Xu Ruozhou’s tone was flat. “I just released the news.”

“The fact that they could see the situation clearly and abandon Xu Mingxin in time is a pleasant surprise for us. Without the Xu family’s protection, she won’t be able to achieve much.”

Wen Yan pursed her lips. “But…”

“Don’t worry. Mother Xu cares about her reputation the most. Maybe they did it simply because they felt embarrassed. Otherwise, keeping the daughter born from Father Xu’s affair with the nanny would just make them a laughingstock in the social circle.”

Wen Yan sighed. “It’s just that the book didn’t write it this way.”

Xu Ruozhou chuckled softly. “The book also didn’t say that Aunt Wang was Xu Mingxin’s biological mother, nor did it mention that Aunt Wang’s true reason for trying to assassinate me was for Xu Mingxin.”

“Wen Yan, wake up. Everything has changed.”

“We changed our destiny.”

What Xu Ruozhou said made sense. Wen Yan hesitated and nodded, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was being overlooked.

“Don’t look so glum.”

A gentle voice reached her ear. Wen Yan looked over and saw Xu Ruozhou staring at her, her reddish-brown eyes sparkling with a smile. “Guess what good thing I prepared for you?”

A good thing?

Wen Yan’s thoughts shifted away from the heavy plot. A sudden light bulb went off. She held up one finger, her eyes shining with certainty. “It’s coke, right!”

“No.”

“Oh, then it’s potato chips!”

“…No, it’s not food.”

Wen Yan sank into thought, then clapped her hands. “I know!”

Seeing Wen Yan’s absolute certainty, Xu Ruozhou raised an eyebrow. “That’s right, it’s…”

“It’s…” Wen Yan smiled confidently, and like a big dog, she pounced into Xu Ruozhou’s arms. “You, Wife.”

“That routine is too old-fashioned. I guess you’ll find an excuse to go back to work overtime soon, and then I’ll return to the bedroom all alone and see a giant gift box.”

“I’ll be holding red wine and saying, ‘I don’t want lots of money, I want lots of love,’ and feeling discouraged as I open the gift, and then you’ll jump out to surprise me! Hehe, Wife, based on your expression, I must have guessed it right!”

“Ouch—” Wen Yan took a gentle rap on the head. She covered her head, her small face wrinkled and teary-eyed.

“Wife, why are you like this? Getting angry just because I guessed it right?”

Xu Ruozhou glanced at her helplessly, finally giving up on the suspense. She pulled out the blue diamond necklace from her pocket and placed it in Wen Yan’s palm. “Here is your thing.”

“Weren’t you always preoccupied with the blue diamond necklace you gave away? Now you have it back. If you ever bother me about the blue diamond again, I won’t talk to you.”
