The Villainous Sister-in-law Mistakenly Marked as the Heroine (Transmigration) - Chapter 12
When Qi Song opened the dismissal letter, she froze for a moment before immediately calling the HR department, summoning the HR manager to the CEO’s office.
The manager, trembling like a child who had done something wrong, nervously explained, “It’s just that Miss Lin treated all the employees to milk tea today…”
She recounted the incident in detail.
The more Qi Song listened, the darker her expression became, her red lips pressing into a tight line. “Have Lin Qile and Ji Zhao come to the office immediately.”
“Yes.”
When Lin Qile received the notice, she was lounging in her chair playing with her phone. “Sure.”
She got up and headed to the office.
Once everyone had gathered, Qi Song spoke first. “Lin Qile, I told you, you’re here to work, not to vacation. This termination notice is invalid. Stop fooling around.”
“How am I fooling around? I kindly offered her milk tea, and she threw it at me, scalding me. An employee who can’t get along with colleagues and has violent tendencies, why should we keep her?”
“I don’t have violent tendencies! You, you’re the one who?!”
Ji Zhao bit back her words.
She couldn’t outright say that Lin Qile had provoked her by mentioning Wan Ning’s pregnancy.
That matter couldn’t be exposed yet!
“What about me?”
Lin Qile snorted at her. Oh please, I dare you to say it out loud!
“Anyway, I didn’t hurt you on purpose!”
“I don’t care whether it was on purpose or not, I’m firing you right now! When I, Lin Qile, am nice to someone, no one dares to disrespect me!”
After all, the original Lin Qile had always been domineering and arrogant. She wasn’t worried about others noticing anything off.
“Nonsense!”
Qi Song reprimanded sharply. “You think you can fire someone just like that? This isn’t a playground. If you keep acting up, go home!”
“No! Why are you siding with her so much? I got hurt, and you don’t even care about me. I’m telling Mom!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Qile cringed internally. Ugh, I’m twenty-five and still running to Mommy for everything? But there was no choice, the enemy was too strong. She had to take a roundabout approach!
“You!”
The mention of Lin Xinrou made Qi Song’s expression shift. It wasn’t that she feared Lin Xinrou, but if this matter involved her, things would get complicated.
Lin Xinrou doted on Lin Qile unconditionally. If she started digging, Ji Zhao’s identity might be exposed.
Now wasn’t the time to tear off the veil.
After a long pause, Qi Song finally spoke in a measured tone. “Fine, if you want her gone, then she’s gone. You’re an adult must you trouble your mother with every little thing?”
Hearing this concession, Lin Qile felt half-satisfied but also half-worried.
She had expected Qi Song to put up more resistance, but she had given up on Ji Zhao so easily.
Glancing at Ji Zhao beside her, she could tell the woman was equally stunned.
The matter concluded with Ji Zhao’s termination, and Lin Qile’s spoiled, willful persona was once again firmly cemented.
Ji Zhao returned to HR to pack her things and leave.
Stepping into the elevator, she descended.
Ding!
The doors opened, and someone entered before the elevator continued downward.
“Do you blame me?”
Qi Song stared straight ahead, her tone indifferent.
Ji Zhao kept her head lowered. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t upset, but after a deep breath, she replied, “No. I know you must have your reasons.”
“Exactly. What we’re doing can’t afford a single misstep. Take some time off when you get back. Focus entirely on that matter.”
“Mm. By the way… Lin Qile knows about my relationship with Wan Ning.”
Qi Song stiffened slightly before turning her head. “How did she find out?”
“I don’t know, but when she took Wanning out to play last time, I was the one who picked Wanning up in the end. Many people saw it, maybe that’s when she noticed some clues.”
“After you humiliated her like that, I can understand why she’s targeting you today. Go back first and wait for my message.”
After saying this, Qi Song randomly pressed a floor button and stepped out of the elevator first.
The doors slowly closed behind her.
Ji Zhao made her way to the first floor, arms full of her belongings.
News of her dismissal had already spread. Everyone passing by was staring at her.
Those mocking, gleeful looks made her feel utterly humiliated.
Workers carrying tools called out, “Make way, make way!”
Ji Zhao couldn’t dodge in time and was knocked aside, her belongings scattering across the floor.
As she crouched to gather her things, the whispers around her grew louder. Finally, a look of hatred flashed across her face. “Lin Qile, I’ll make you pay double for today’s humiliation!”
Gathering her things in disarray, she hurried out the main entrance.
All of this was witnessed by Rong Jing, who had just arrived.
She watched the scene with surprise but didn’t interfere.
Approaching the front desk, she announced, “I’m Rong Jing. I have an appointment with your CEO.”
“Miss Rong, this way please.”
The elevator ascended to the executive floor.
Ding!
The doors opened.
Inside stood Rong Jing. Outside, arms full of documents, stood Lin Qile. Their eyes met.
At the sight of Lin Qile, Rong Jing had the sudden impulse to press the elevator button and leave Lin Corporation immediately.
What was she doing here?!
Though it might be inappropriate to question Lin Qile’s presence at her own family’s company, according to Rong Jing’s information, Lin Qile visited fewer than twice a year and only when she’d caused trouble.
She truly didn’t want to run into this woman.
Yesterday, after just a few minutes together in the car, Rong Jing had nearly gone into heat. Thankfully, He Yan was there to administer suppressants.
“What are you doing here?” Lin Qile asked in surprise.
“I have an appointment with your mother.”
Not wanting to engage further, Rong Jing stepped around her toward the CEO’s office.
“Here to discuss calling off the engagement?”
The excited voice behind her made Rong Jing frown. Why so eager?
Shouldn’t she be furious? Heartbroken?
Her beloved was pregnant with someone else’s child and publicly ending their engagement, how could she not be angry?
The office door opened, revealing Qi Song. “Miss Rong, please come in.”
“CEO Qi.”
After a brief greeting, Rong Jing entered.
Without hesitation, Lin Qile handed her files to Chen Nan. “Sis, I’ll deliver these later,” then followed into the office.
Seeing her enter, Qi Song said sharply, “Get out!”
“No way! If this is about calling off the engagement, I’m the main character. Kicking me out makes no sense, I have every right to be here!”
“You!”
“CEO Qi, let her stay. She’s right, she should hear what we discuss, especially since much of it concerns her.”
Lin Qile raised an eyebrow. How unusual, Rong Jing actually speaking up for her!
“Fine, stay then.”
The three sat down.
Rong Jing began, “First, on behalf of the Rong family, I apologize to the Lin family. We failed in raising Wanning properly.”
She stood and bowed deeply to both of them.
“This matter… sigh.”
“Regarding Aunt Lin’s proposal to annul the engagement, the Rong family has no objections. We will fully cooperate with any PR efforts needed to minimize the harm to Miss Lin.”
Upon hearing her name mentioned, Miss Lin immediately straightened up and remarked pointedly, “If you can ensure no future harm comes to me, I’ll forgive Rong Wanning.”
The implication was clear: don’t even think about threatening me with that video again!
Rong Jing’s eyes flickered slightly, but she ignored the comment and turned to Qi Song instead. “As for compensation, the Rong family is willing to concede all profits from our joint ventures with the Lin family as a gesture of our sincere apology.”
A gleam appeared in Qi Song’s eyes, that was no small sum.
“With such sincerity from the Rong family, we won’t press the matter further. Qile, your engagement to Rong Wanning is hereby dissolved. No matter what happens in the future, neither side may use this incident against the other. Understood?”
“Mm.”
With matters settled, Rong Jing prepared to leave.
She had barely taken a step when she suddenly paused and glanced back at Qi Song. “President Qi, might I trouble Miss Lin to see me out?”
“Of course. Qile, escort our guest.”
Lin Qile rose and followed her out.
The two walked in single file down the hallway.
“Where’s the restroom?” Rong Jing asked.
“I’ll show you.”
So she’d been summoned out just because the proud young miss was too embarrassed to ask for directions to the toilet? Hmph!
Lin Qile took the lead.
The further they went, the quieter it became.
Unable to resist, she asked, “Now that the engagement’s been called off, Miss Rong, can you return my video? You’ve admitted your family wronged me, surely you won’t still, ah!”
Without warning, she was shoved into a nearby meeting room.
Before she could demand what madness had possessed Rong Jing, she found herself pinned against the conference table, her lips captured in a searing kiss.
Her eyes flew wide. Rong Jing’s body burned against hers, even her lips scorching hot.
“Mmph…!”
Good heavens!
Here she was, an alpha, being forcibly kissed by an omega pressed atop her and utterly powerless to resist.
She’d meant to push away the tongue invading her mouth, but somehow their tongues ended up tangling instead…
When the kiss finally broke,
Rong Jing lay panting against her, skin flushed, eyes damp yet her gaze remained dark and her voice icy with fury. “What kind of curse have you put on me?”
Just sharing a room had set her pheromones stirring.
Was it no longer possible to even be near this person without losing control?
“How should I know? Get off! I marked you, I can’t resist your pheromones either! Move!”
Lin Qile gasped for air, struggling to maintain reason.
She was the one who’d been assaulted! Just like last time and the time before that practically every time!
Their eyes locked.
Intertwined pheromones enveloped them. Lin Qile’s eyes gradually reddened as her hand unconsciously rose to caress Rong Jing’s neck. A sudden thirst overwhelmed her, the woman before her seemed like a sweet, clear spring.
She leaned in slowly.
The moment their lips met again, both moaned involuntarily at the pleasure.
Approaching footsteps made them freeze. They held their breath until the sounds faded, then hastily broke apart.
Lin Qile stared awkwardly at the door.
They weren’t even friends, yet this lover’s embrace left her feeling inexplicably blissful.
With trembling hands, Rong Jing administered a suppressant injection.
After waiting for her pheromones to stabilize a bit, she finally spoke, “Let’s leave the company first!”
“What about me?”
Lin Qile was feeling utterly miserable right now. The thought that every time her body’s desires had been stirred in this book’s world, it was because of this woman, made her feel extremely aggrieved.
If things continued like this, would she still be able to have sweet romance?
“Come with me.”
The two hurriedly left the company.
Once in Rong Jing’s car, Lin Qile asked, “Where are we going?”
“A hotel.”
Lin Qile: ???
All the way to the hotel, through checking in, and following Rong Jing into the room, her mind remained in a daze.
“We…”
She didn’t even know what she wanted to say.
“Don’t you want to?”
Rong Jing removed her hairpin, letting her curly hair cascade down. Her face was flushed, and those usually cold, sharp eyes now glistened with moisture. Shedding her coat, she stepped closer to the stunned Lin Qile.
Lin Qile felt the thread of reason in her brain snap completely.
She rushed forward, embraced the other woman, and kissed her passionately.
Their lips met in a kiss more frantic than before, as if trying to devour each other.
Soon, kissing alone could no longer satisfy them.
Between kisses, they undressed each other, quickly finding their way to the bed.
Two hours later.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Lin Qile curled up on the bed, covering her face as she muttered, “What kind of situation is this?!”
The previous two times, at least one of them had been out of their senses when they ended up in bed.
But this time? Both were completely sober, in broad daylight no less. She could even say she’d memorized every inch of Rong Jing’s body by now, never underestimate a medical student.
Truly…
There was no forgetting this woman now.
Ah, was this fate’s cruelty or blessing?
“Why the sigh?”
Her eyes flew open to see Rong Jing stepping out of the bathroom, casually dropping her towel and starting to dress right in front of her.
“Aren’t you even going to be shy?”
Rong Jing glanced back at her.
That single look made Lin Qile sense something of a playgirl’s boredom after getting what she wanted.
Hey, who’s supposed to be the alpha here?!
She sat up abruptly. “Miss Rong, we’re not even dating! You can’t just keep dragging me into bed whenever you feel like it. Can’t you control your pheromones?”
After dressing, Rong Jing sat on the bed and crooked a finger at her. “Come here.”
“What for?”
It felt like calling a dog. Despite her displeasure, she shuffled closer with the blanket.
The moment she approached, Rong Jing hooked an arm around her neck and buried her face against Lin Qile’s shoulder. The intimate gesture made Lin Qile blush instantly, her words stumbling out, “W-what are you… doing? Are you… not feeling well again?”
“My pheromones have become addicted to yours.”
“Huh?”
Lin Qile was dumbfounded. Not that she was addicted to Rong Jing, but Rong Jing’s pheromones were addicted to hers?
Before she could process this bombshell, Rong Jing added, “Until my pheromones tire of yours, you’ll come whenever I call.”
“Come for what?”
Rong Jing gave her a look reserved for idiots, then ran her tongue along Lin Qile’s neck. “What do you think?”
“I refuse!”
She pushed Rong Jing away, ignoring the damp heat on her neck as she clutched the blanket in protest. “Why should I be your on-call antidote?!”
Rong Jing narrowed her eyes. “You don’t want to?”
“Of course not! I still want to find a girlfriend. I won’t get involved with you in this unclear relationship!”
She felt particularly badass saying that!
Rong Jing looked at her resolute expression and gave a sinister smile. “Do you really think those omegas would still want you after watching your video?”
Her face turned deathly pale.
“Would you rather face social ruin, or obediently become my bedmate?”
It was a blatant threat.
Lin Qile instantly deflated, lowering her head.
“I’ll be your bedmate.”
