Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: The Secret

Xu Mingxin asked the butler for Li Yuan’s black card, but the butler righteously refused her.

She was exasperated and roared, “Why can’t you give me Li Yuan’s card? I am the mistress of the Li family and Li Yuan’s wife!”

The butler’s tone was calm. “I apologize, Madam, but this is outside the scope of my decision-making authority.”

“I will contact CEO Li as soon as possible. Once I have CEO Li’s consent, I will immediately give you the black card.”

Xu Mingxin gritted her teeth. “She’s on a cruise ship in the open sea now. There’s no signal in that kind of place. How can you possibly contact her? I think you’re just stalling, you don’t want to give me the black card!”

“I apologize, I will do my best to contact CEO Li.”

Xu Mingxin’s chest hurt from anger. Watching the butler’s composed demeanor, she gradually began to realize something. She narrowed her eyes. “Butler Zhou, did Li Yuan say anything to you before she left?”

The butler was stunned. Xu Mingxin bit her lower lip hard. She knew it—

Li Yuan left for a trip at this time on purpose!

Ever since she made Li Yuan kick those two nagging old women out, Li Yuan had changed, always deliberately avoiding her.

Now that she had been kicked out of the Xu family, she was acting like everyone else, kicking her while she was down!

Hatred surged in her heart, and Xu Mingxin’s eyes were malicious. The butler was startled by her gaze and quickly took half a step back. “Madam, this is all baseless speculation. CEO Li loves you so much, how could she do such a thing!”

“Wait here. I’ll go contact CEO Li right now and strive to get the black card for you as soon as possible.”

With that, the butler fled. Xu Mingxin stood alone in the empty villa, her eyes filled with malice.

Although the situation was unfavorable to her right now, the System had said that she was the female protagonist of this world, and the Xu and Li families had always stood behind her. Although the arrival of the transmigrator had disrupted some of the plot, what was supposed to happen would still happen.

If the System was telling the truth, the Xu family would surely be willing to help her and join forces to deal with the increasingly powerful Xu Ruozhou.

Xu Mingxin took a deep breath. Li Yuan was unreliable now, but she still had the Xu family.

Now she could only believe that everything the System said was true, and that the Xu family would still remember their past connection and help her deal with Xu Ruozhou.

Late night.

Xu Mingxin hid in the bushes, seizing the moment when the Xu family security guard went to the restroom. She used her fingerprint to open the Xu family’s gate and secretly snuck inside.

The magnificent villa was especially dark in the middle of the night. Because Mother Xu had poor sleep and couldn’t stand any light or noise, the main villa was only occupied by Mother Xu, Father Xu, and her and Xu Ruozhou.

Such conditions created a perfect opportunity for Xu Mingxin’s infiltration.

She tiptoed upstairs. As she passed her own room, she paused, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked in.

Xu Mingxin turned on the small flashlight she carried with her, and under the weak light, she began to search for the valuables she hadn’t had time to take when she was kicked out. She stuffed all of them into a bag and threw it out the window onto the lawn outside, preparing to take it with her later.

After sweeping away all the valuable jewelry, she began to consider how to reasonably wake up Father Xu and Mother Xu.

Xu Mingxin walked quietly to their room door, but unexpectedly found that the people inside were still awake.

A faint light was visible under the closed door. They hadn’t gone to sleep yet.

A flash of delight crossed Xu Mingxin’s eyes. She was about to push the door open and beg them tearfully for help, when she suddenly heard the sound of their conversation from inside.

“Now what? All the recipients you need are gone.”

“No choice. We have to look for them in the orphanage again.”

“How is that possible? Those children are still too young. Their organs haven’t fully matured. They won’t match at all.”

Xu Mingxin frowned deeply.

Orphanage?

Recipients?

What were they talking about?

Xu Mingxin crouched down and pressed her ear against the door crack, wanting to hear the content of their conversation more clearly.

“Sigh, if only I had known this unexpected situation would happen, I shouldn’t have taken that child named Ruan Ruan away so early. Her blood type was the most compatible with mine, and her organs were the most suitable. If only we hadn’t been so rushed back then.”

“She was useful, at least after you swapped her blood, you look much younger. Either we wait for the other children in the orphanage, or we check on those who were adopted by others. Maybe there are still suitable matches.”

“You make it sound easy. This is all your fault. Mingxin’s organs are the most suitable for me. I originally planned to have the surgery after she turned twenty, but it turns out she’s the daughter of Wang Jie, that woman with the blood disease. Didn’t I tell you to keep the child born to the Omega nanny surnamed Li?”

“I also didn’t expect that Nanny Wang to be so bold as to switch the babies right under our noses.”

Cold sweat dripped down her forehead onto the floor. Xu Mingxin knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with despair.

What did she just hear?

She had thought that after recognizing Xu Ruozhou, Father Xu and Mother Xu still treated her as well as before out of family affection, but in reality…

Xu Mingxin bit her lip hard. Blood trickled down from the corner of her broken lip.

In reality—they just regarded her as a living organ bank?!

In the bedroom.

Mother Xu’s gaze looked towards the door, and she frowned. Father Xu looked in the direction of her gaze. “Wife, what’s wrong?”

Mother Xu shook her head. “It’s nothing. Must be my imagination.”

“Turn off the lights. The group’s stock price has dropped drastically recently. Those difficult shareholders are going to hold a general meeting. We need to go to bed early, or we won’t have the energy to deal with them tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry. The vast majority of the shares are in our hands. Those shareholders can’t stir up any trouble.”

“Mhm.”

Xu Mingxin’s fingernails dug fiercely into her palm. After the light under the door crack went out, she wiped away the bloodstains on the floor and quietly went downstairs.

The next day.

Mother Xu, dressed in formal attire, was about to enter the elevator when she was suddenly stopped by a pair of hands. She looked closely.

An uninvited guest.

Mother Xu frowned deeply, her tone hostile. “What are you here for?”

“I told you clearly the day I drove you out. You are no longer a member of the Xu family.”

Mother Xu signaled the security guards in the group. Several tall, burly Betas immediately surrounded Xu Mingxin.

“Xu Mingxin, I’ve been benevolent enough to you. If you keep pestering me, don’t blame me for abandoning our past connection and being impolite to you.”

Xu Mingxin’s expression was calm. She took out a pen-like object from her pocket. Mother Xu frowned. “What is that?”

A mocking smile bloomed on Xu Mingxin’s lips. “Want to listen?”

Before Mother Xu could agree, the sound of static came from the recording pen, followed by a conversation she couldn’t have been more familiar with.

“Sigh, if only I had known this unexpected situation would happen, I shouldn’t have taken that child named Ruan Ruan away so early. Her blood…”

Mother Xu’s face turned black. She lunged at Xu Mingxin like a madwoman, trying to snatch the recording pen from her hand.

The two wrestled with each other. The Xu Group’s security guards looked at each other, unsure whether to break up the fight or help the chairwoman beat the former chairwoman’s daughter.

Xu Mingxin held the recording pen high. Her eyes were malicious. In a low whisper that only she and Mother Xu could hear, she said, “Do you think I only have this one copy?”

“Heh—” Xu Mingxin sneered. “Don’t look at me with such a vicious look. I know your methods. If anything happens to me, this recording will be immediately made public, and everything you and Xu Zhongshan have done will be exposed.”

“When that happens, it won’t just be the Xu Group that’s finished.” Xu Mingxin curved a triumphant smile on her lips, emphasizing every word. “It’s. You. Xu. Tao!”

Xu Tao’s face changed drastically again and again. She bit her lower lip and grabbed Xu Mingxin’s arm. “What do you want?”

Xu Mingxin glanced at the bewildered group security guards. Xu Tao understood her gesture and waved her hand at them. The area near the elevator was quickly cleared, leaving only the two of them.

Xu Mingxin’s eyes were cold. “What I want is very simple. I need the Xu family to help me deal with Xu Ruozhou.”

At the custom wedding dress boutique, Xu Ruozhou was trying on gowns. Wen Yan was somewhat stunned.

The pure white veil, the jet-black hair, the almost perfect, fair profile. Wen Yan could barely distinguish whether the wedding dress was whiter or if Xu Ruozhou’s complexion was more snow-white.

What captivated her even more was the off-the-shoulder mermaid white dress. The flawless waist perfectly outlined the Omega’s body curves, and the exposed collarbone had a not-so-obvious hickey mark on it, which seemed a little jarring but made her look more alluring.

The designer, who had flown in from abroad specifically, clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Madam, you are truly too beautiful.”

“I’ve seen so many famous Omega models, but I dare say their aura is no match for yours. This wedding dress truly complements your complexion and figure.”

“CEO Wen, don’t you agree?”

“CEO Wen?”

The designer looked over, surprised. “CEO Wen, why are you having a nosebleed?”

Wen Yan covered her bleeding nose, forcing herself to appear calm. “It’s nothing, nothing. The air is just too dry, haha, it’s fine, haha.”

The designer looked at the Omega in the wedding dress, then at the Alpha with the bleeding nose, and raised an eyebrow teasingly. Xu Ruozhou looked at Wen Yan with some amusement. “How is it?”

“Does it look good?”

Wen Yan, with cotton stuffed in her nose, nodded hard and gave a thumbs-up. “It looks great!”

Wen Yan waved her hand grandly, displaying a touch of nouveau riche flair. “Not just this one, wrap up everything she tried on for me!”

“CEO Wen, every single piece here was custom-made according to the Madam’s measurements.”

The implication was—even if you don’t like them, they can’t be returned.

“Oh, oh.” Wen Yan nodded obediently. “Then I’ll settle the final payment now.”

The designer’s eyes lit up. He took the card Wen Yan handed him. “I truly envy the Madam for marrying such a wealthy, beautiful, and generous Alpha. You two are a perfect match, both in looks and personality…”

Wen Yan was floating with the compliments and paid swiftly. Even as the two left the store with the clothes, hand-in-hand, Wen Yan was still grinning foolishly thinking about the designer’s words.

Xu Ruozhou couldn’t help but ask, “Are you that happy?”

Wen Yan rubbed her hands, nodding somewhat shyly. “Mhm, happy.”

“I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time. Not just me, but my family too…”

“Family?”

Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Wen Yan quickly shut up and smiled, changing the subject. “Wife, who are we going to invite to our wedding?”

Xu Ruozhou placed the drafted wedding guest list in Wen Yan’s palm. Wen Yan opened the list and quickly scanned through it, but her eyes widened when she saw two names: Xu Tao and Xu Zhongshan?

“Wife, you’re inviting the Xu family to our wedding?!”
