Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Conspiracy

“Impossible.” Xu Ruozhou’s expression suddenly turned cold. Wen Yan quickly explained, “Wife, that’s not what I meant. Listen to me…”

Xu Ruozhou let go of her hand. “Wen Yan, don’t even think about it. I will not divorce you.”

Wen Yan tugged at her sleeve and sighed helplessly. “Wife, I never thought about divorcing you either.”

“I’m just a little worried, after all, the plot points I know about have happened, and your divorce from the original host is a very important juncture. I’m afraid…”

Xu Ruozhou wrapped both arms around Wen Yan, hugging her tightly and burying her whole face in her embrace. She said emphatically, “It won’t happen.”

“Wen Yan, a lot of things that were never in the plot are happening now, aren’t they?”

Wen Yan hesitated to speak. Xu Ruozhou continued, “In the plot you saw, you and I didn’t hold a wedding, but now we are about to become a formal couple.”

“See? Because of your appearance, the plot isn’t so unbreakable.”

“I’m just worried…”

Xu Ruozhou clenched Wen Yan’s clothes, her voice trembling. “Wen Yan, you are not allowed to divorce me. Don’t even entertain that thought, otherwise…”

“Even if I have to break your legs and lock you at home, I will never let that happen.”

Wen Yan: …

Wen Yan’s eyes suddenly became a little strange. She pursed her lips and said softly, “Wife.”

Xu Ruozhou raised her eyes. “Mhm?”

“Have you noticed that what you just said lines up with the plot again?”

Except that in the original novel, Xu Ruozhou broke the original host’s legs for revenge, while the current Xu Ruozhou would rather break her legs than entertain any possibility of divorce.

Xu Ruozhou froze, slowly loosening her grip on Wen Yan’s clothes. Her fingers touched her lips, momentarily stunned. “I…”

“I’m sorry. I… I don’t know… I…”

Wen Yan comforted Xu Ruozhou for a long time before she emerged from her guilt. Xu Ruozhou leaned on Wen Yan’s shoulder, solemnly swearing, “Wen Yan, no matter what happens, I will never hurt you. I will treat you well for the rest of my life, just as you treat me.”

Wen Yan gave a soft “Mhm.” She gently stroked her lover’s hair, her expression somewhat serious.

“System, speak! What should I do now?”

Xu Mingxin was pacing anxiously, but the System’s voice was as calm as ever.

Host, don’t panic.

Xu Mingxin stopped and suddenly looked up, swearing loudly into the void. “How dare you tell me not to panic, you useless thing! I collected so much energy for you, and you can’t even send Wen Yan back to her original world, you trash!”

Outside the office door, the assistant nervously knocked on the door. Xu Mingxin said impatiently, “Come in!”

The assistant pushed the door open with an invitation in hand. Xu Mingxin glared at her coldly. “What is it?”

“Say it and get out.”

The assistant handed the invitation to Xu Mingxin, stuttering. “CEO Xu, this was entrusted to me by the secretary of the Wen Group’s CEO!”

Xu Mingxin took the invitation, frowned, and opened it. The assistant finally breathed a sigh of relief after completing the task. Before she could celebrate, Xu Mingxin suddenly flew into a rage, slamming the invitation to the floor. She viciously stomped on it with her high heel, screaming hysterically, “Bitch!!!”

“I told you long ago to use the energy to directly kill Xu Ruozhou! Now she’s actually stepping all over me, the female protagonist, openly mocking me on the invitation!!!”

Sincerely inviting, Miss Xu Mingxin, to attend the wedding of Wen Yan and Xu Ruozhou.

We look forward to your arrival to witness our happiness.

The assistant’s eyes widened. “CEO Xu, everyone’s invitation is the same.”

The System was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

“You are being overly sensitive.”

“Why are you defending them? Do you fundamentally not want to help me? I am the female protagonist! Why should she step all over me!”

“…”

The assistant was stunned, realizing that Xu Mingxin was not speaking toward her. She suddenly felt a chilling sensation. Her legs trembling, the assistant ran away without saying goodbye, leaving Xu Mingxin alone to scream into the air.

“It’s all your fault, otherwise how could I have lost to her!”

The voice in the void never responded to her emotional outburst. It wasn’t until Xu Mingxin was too tired to shout that the System’s mechanical, cold voice sounded again.

“Go and borrow energy.”

“Help me send the transmigrator back to the original world.”

“I told you to use the remaining energy to kill Xu Ruozhou! Can’t you understand human language?!”

“Send the transmigrator back to the original world.”

“Kill Xu Ruozhou!”

The System remained silent.

“Send the transmigrator back to the original world. Xu Ruozhou will suffer a mental breakdown, and I will also be able to collect enough energy.”

“I will use that energy to return the plot that the transmigrator changed back to its proper course.”

Receiving the System’s promise, Xu Mingxin slowly unclenched her fists. She picked up the invitation from the floor and crumpled it. “Mental breakdown?”

“How is that enough?”

“Xu Ruozhou should suffer even more. She should be destitute, abandoned by everyone, become an Alpha’s plaything, and finally die without a burial place, with good-hearted me tossing her body onto a small dirt hill.”

“That is the ending she deserves.”

“…”

Wedding day.

Xu Ruozhou and Wen Yan’s relatives and friends arrived at the venue. Lin Xi was responsible for greeting guests at the hotel entrance. When she received a crumpled invitation, she subconsciously looked up for a moment. Lin Xi frowned. “Xu Mingxin?”

Xu Mingxin wore a white dress and smiled radiantly. “I remember you, the Wen family’s little maid.”

“Don’t you recognize me?”

Lin Xi was expressionless. “I am just a lowly servant. How could I recognize you?”

Xu Mingxin froze, then suddenly burst into laughter, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. “A servant?”

Lin Xi felt uncomfortable with her laughter. She frowned. “Miss Xu, if you don’t have a gift to hand over, you can go inside. There are other guests waiting.”

Xu Mingxin continued laughing as if no one else was there. Under Lin Xi’s confused gaze, she grabbed her hand, patted it forcefully, and whispered in her ear, “Lin Xi, you’re not just a servant.”

“You are too important.”

Lin Xi shook off her hand, her frown deepening. She repeated, “Miss Xu, there are other guests waiting. If you don’t have a gift to hand over, you can go inside.”

“Here’s my business card. If you ever don’t want to work at the Wen Group anymore, you can come work for me.”

Xu Mingxin condescendingly handed over a gold-edged business card. Lin Xi frowned. Limited by the many eyes watching, she could only accept it. “Miss Xu, you may go in now.”

Xu Mingxin’s eyes curved in a smile, as if suddenly realizing something, and she laughed, replying to what Lin Xi had just said. “How could I not prepare a gift? This is my sister’s wedding. It’s just that…”

Lin Xi looked puzzled. Xu Mingxin curved a smile that held an unknown meaning. “It’s just that—I have to hand it over personally.”

Backstage at the wedding, Wen Yan suddenly clutched her chest. Xu Ruozhou, who was having her makeup done, looked at her through the mirror, worried. “Wen Yan, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”

For some reason, Wen Yan had felt extremely unwell since waking up this morning. Her heart palpitations happened every half hour, as if something major was about to happen, warning her.

Wen Yan shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“Lin Xi just called me. She said Xu Mingxin seems a bit off.”

Xu Ruozhou was startled. The makeup artist stopped working. Xu Ruozhou turned her head. “Off in what way?”

“Xu Mingxin gave her a business card, asking her if she wanted to switch jobs, and she also prepared a gift for us, saying she wants to hand it over personally.”

Xu Ruozhou frowned deeply. “A gift?”

“Would she be so kind as to give us a gift?”

Wen Yan pursed her lips, her tone hesitant. “Wife, Xu Mingxin has a supernatural power helping her. We had that thought earlier—would it be better to postpone the wedding? I’m afraid…”

“Afraid of what?”

Wen Yan sighed. “I’m afraid she’ll ruin our wedding, and I’m afraid others will…”

Although she knew Xu Ruozhou might not care about those things, Wen Yan didn’t want her and Xu Ruozhou’s wedding to become a weapon for others to hurt Xu Ruozhou.

Vibrant red was applied to the Omega’s beautiful thin lips. Xu Ruozhou’s tone was calm. “Wen Yan, you’re right. We don’t know what Xu Mingxin is going to do. Holding the wedding now is a big risk, but—”

“Are we going to be wary of her for the rest of our lives?”

Wen Yan was taken aback. Xu Ruozhou slowly stood up, walked over to Wen Yan, and gently kissed her forehead. “I know what you’re worried about, but Wen Yan, you know I don’t care.”

“This wedding has nothing to do with anyone else. It’s just a ceremony between us, a ceremony to affirm our relationship.”

Wen Yan slowly lifted her eyelids, looking at those gentle reddish-brown eyes. She saw a slight smile on Xu Ruozhou’s lips.

Xu Ruozhou said softly, “Time’s up. Take my hand, Wen Yan.”

“Swear before the divine that you will love me forever, and we will never be separated.”

Wen Yan took her hand and nodded silently.

The two held each other’s hands tightly and walked forward, never looking back.

At the same time.

On the other side, Xu Tao finally couldn’t take it anymore. She finally seized the opportunity at the wedding to drag Xu Mingxin, who had refused to see her, from the guest seating to an empty corner, angrily demanding, “Xu Mingxin, what exactly do you want to do!”

Xu Mingxin smiled, looking like she was in a good mood. “Mom, what are you talking about?”

Xu Tao suddenly became agitated, her voice involuntarily rising. “Don’t call me that!”

“I have no blood relation to you.”

Xu Mingxin shrugged carelessly. “Oh.”

Xu Tao bit her lower lip, glanced around, and after confirming no one was nearby, she leaned close to Xu Mingxin’s ear, speaking with a hint of gnashing teeth. “Didn’t you promise me you would keep the orphanage matter a secret?”

“Why have Xu Ruozhou’s people already traced things back to me? Don’t you know we’re in this together now? If I’m finished, you’re finished too!”

After a long silence, Xu Mingxin suddenly sneered. Under Xu Tao’s surprised gaze, she violently pushed her to the ground. Xu Tao was incredulous. “You…”

Xu Mingxin grabbed her collar and slapped her across the face. “Xu Tao, are you being too naive? You didn’t actually think I would keep your secret, did you?”

“You kicked me out of the Xu family long ago. What does the fate of the Xu family have to do with me?”

Xu Tao covered her red, swollen cheek. “In that case, don’t think you can use any of the Xu family’s connections to deal with Xu Ruozhou.”

“You can’t beat her. After all, you’ve never been as good as her since childhood.”

“Heh—”

Xu Mingxin scoffed, her eyes looking toward the high platform in the distance.

Elegant piano music sounded, accompanied by the orchestra’s performance. The protagonists of the wedding banquet appeared. Xu Mingxin looked down at Xu Tao, who had fallen to the ground, her eyes curved in a smile. “Is that so?”

“No matter how capable Xu Ruozhou is, her good days of being superior to me will soon be over.”
