- Chapter 26.2 - Single Woman A Expresses Despair at This Depraved World
Without thinking, Yi Jing raised her hand and pushed the woman directly into that girl’s arms. She strode across the distance to Zhao Qin with her long legs, and before anyone could react, she directly kicked Zhao Qin in the chest, knocking her down.
“Ah!!” The young girl caught her sister, turned her head and saw Zhao Qin coughing and clutching her chest on the ground, unable to speak for a long time. She couldn’t help but point at Yi Jing with an exasperated expression, “You… you…”
“What?” Yi Jing raised her eyes and coldly glared at her.
Yi Jing didn’t know how terrible her own expression was, but after that girl looked at her once, she hesitantly withdrew her finger. Then she angrily pointed at Xu Zaixi instead:
“It’s all because of you! You bastard, you’ve really learned some tricks. Now you even dare to find someone to beat up your sister?”
Xu Zaixi stood behind Yi Jing and shrugged, smiling indifferently.
“You!” The girl was furious. With one arm around her sister, she said, “I can’t believe you dared to come! Do you think this is a place where just anyone can attend? Even if you’ve latched onto Second Aunt Yi, you’re still just a wild dog rolling in the mud. Do you really think you can sit at the same table and eat with us?”
Yi Jing frowned slightly, remembering Yi Heng’s mention of “rich family scandals”.
The way this girl spoke, there must be a reason. Xu Zaixi’s background was probably inextricably linked to these two women.
But Yi Jing had no time to deal with these things now. She had more important matters to attend to.
The two unfamiliar alpha women behind her were still confronting Xu Zaixi. Yi Jing ignored them and stepped forward to grab Zhao Qin’s collar, saying coldly: “Didn’t I tell you not to set your sights on Yu Miao again?”
Zhao Qin looked utterly bewildered and shocked: “I didn’t touch her, did I? You got to play with her first, what more are you unsatisfied about? What, you haven’t had enough of that omega yet? If you want to play with her longer, that’s fine.”
Before Zhao Qin could finish speaking, she was cut off by a punch from the icy-faced Yi Jing. Yi Jing didn’t know how much strength this body had, and she didn’t control herself in her fury anyway. A line of blood spurted from Zhao Qin’s nostrils, her whole face knocked to the side by Yi Jing’s punch.
“You really should just die.” Yi Jing stood up with a cold expression, raising her foot towards Zhao Qin’s head as if touching her was too dirty.
“Hey!!!” The girl who had been busy scolding Xu Zaixi screamed in fright.
“Wait!” The woman whose arm Yi Jing had twisted couldn’t help but call out to stop her.
But neither of them were in time.
Yi Jing’s ice-cold eyes were full of the intent to teach this bastard a long-lasting lesson.
She had no intention of letting Zhao Qin off. Just as Yi Jing’s shoe sole was about to stomp on Zhao Qin’s head, a great force suddenly pulled Yi Jing back two steps—
Yi Jing had been standing on one leg, balancing her weight on one side. When another force interfered, Yi Jing’s balance was easily disrupted.
“Do you really want to seriously harm her at this time?”
It was Xu Zaixi.
Xu Zaixi’s voice wasn’t loud, conveying a sense of ‘if you really insist on doing this, I won’t stop you too much’.
Yi Jing paused, remembering Yi Heng’s words that if anything happened at this banquet, even her aunt would have a hard time dealing with it.
Right, there were so many people at the banquet. Given the nature of the original novel, there would definitely be no shortage of people who might encounter Yu Miao and want to harm her at an occasion like this. This could well be some major plot point, so she couldn’t cause trouble right at the start.
If she couldn’t help either, then there would be no one left to help Yu Miao.
Yi Jing took two deep breaths to barely regain her rationality, just managing to suppress the urge to make Zhao Qin disappear completely. She looked at the terrified and vaguely angry Zhao Qin with some disgust and said: “Get lost. Don’t let me see you again.”
“Yi Jing!” Zhao Qin, who had been beaten in public, also became somewhat anxious, “Don’t think you’re so great just because you’re a police officer. Does anyone in the entire Yi family really care about you?! You dare to treat me like this, you’ll pay the price too!”
“Heh,” Yi Jing laughed coldly. She was afraid Zhao Qin wouldn’t come after her. Otherwise, how would she have reason to target Zhao Qin? “You’d better not fail to come. I’m waiting for your price.”
“Alright,” the woman standing next to Zhao Qin lightly pulled him, as if not wanting to get involved in the conflict between these two anymore. She coldly stepped back and said, “Miss Jing, we just happened to run into each other today. We didn’t mean to disturb you and your omega. Sorry about what happened today. As for you, Xu Zaixi.”
The woman seemed somewhat disgusted as she turned her face away: “You’d better watch yourself. It’s best to know your place and stop doing things you shouldn’t.”
After saying this, the woman left with the girl beside her as if she couldn’t bear to look at Xu Zaixi anymore. Only Zhao Qin was left, glaring angrily at Yi Jing for a few moments. Realizing he was no match for the police officer, he turned and ran off to catch up with the two alpha women.
Yi Jing turned away in disgust. After a while, she came back to her senses and turned her head, pinching the bridge of her nose as she said: “I’m sorry, I lost my composure. Thank you for just now.”
“Not at all,” Xu Zaixi looked Yi Jing over with interest and asked, “Do you have an omega you really like?”
“Ah,” At the mention of Yu Miao, Yi Jing’s expression unconsciously softened, her tone becoming gentler, “Yes, she’s a very cute girl.”
Perhaps using “cute” to describe Yu Miao wasn’t quite right. In fact, Yu Miao had nothing to do with being cute.
Yu Miao was clearly a woman with a tough mind and strong personality. Every time they met, she was charming and alluring, easily capturing Yi Jing’s attention. But for some reason, whenever Yi Jing thought of Yu Miao, she just felt she was pure, cute and guileless, inexplicably becoming fond of her.
— Her brain had truly been emptied out by love.
“I can tell. You two seem to have a very good relationship.” Xu Zaixi smiled lightly, not saying much more out loud, but inwardly marveling half-mockingly and half-scornfully at how bizarre these Yi family people were.
They were either outwardly kind but inwardly cold, seeming easy to talk to but actually not caring about love at all, like the old man and Yi Mingyu; or they were like Yi Jing and Yi Xuan, looking cold and unapproachable on the surface, but essentially just lovesick fools.
Extremes.
Xu Zaixi coldly mocked in her heart. Before she could finish her thoughts, she heard Yi Jing ask: “So who were those two people just now?”
“Hm?” Xu Zaixi raised her head slightly.
After finishing talking about Yu Miao, Yi Jing’s gentle expression was gone. She spoke very flatly: “Zhao Qin has a grudge with me, but what’s the deal with the other two? I don’t remember having any interaction with them.”
“Oh,” Xu Zaixi smiled, “Indeed you haven’t. Those two came for me.”
“You?” Yi Jing turned her head to look in the direction the two alpha women had left.
Xu Zaixi smiled contemptuously and said: “They look down on my background, that’s all. They think I’m just a bastard who shouldn’t appear in the same place as them, let alone show up at the Lei family. But really, what difference does it make. Are their abilities any better than mine?”
It seems it’s indeed the high-society scandal that Yi Heng mentioned.
As for the Lei family…
Aren’t they one of the Yi family’s business partners for decades? Seems like they started in port trade?
What connection does Xu Zaixi have with the Lei family? Could she be a Lei family child? But shouldn’t her surname be Lei then?
Xu Zaixi glanced at Yi Jing, suddenly seeming to think of something as she smiled mildly on the surface: “You may not know about these things, but there’s no real need to know. To put it simply, it’s just a matter of winning and losing.
The winners are noble, getting everything, while the losers become destitute and flee, naturally becoming so-called lower-class people.”
“You lost?” Yi Jing asked.
Xu Zaixi was stunned for a moment, then laughed: “It wasn’t me who lost. On the contrary, I’m just the product of failure.”
So it’s a grudge from the previous generation.
Yi Jing keenly caught the tone but didn’t continue to pursue the topic.
This Xu Zaixi was extremely difficult to get information from. When she had time, she’d have to go find Yi Heng and make her spill everything she knew.
As for now, she’d try asking about Yu Miao’s information first.
“I remember you performed quite excellently under the Deputy General Manager Yi. Why would they target you like this?” Yi Jing said calmly.
Xu Zaixi sneered: “Positions are fought for. I do things they can’t do, I handle matters they’re unwilling to face. Gradually, I took what they thought was within easy reach, so of course they’re unhappy.”
Yi Jing turned her head slightly to look at Xu Zaixi, thinking it might not be so.
Yi Jing didn’t know what things the two sisters couldn’t do, but she could guess the type of work under Yi Mian.
If Xu Zaixi worked for Yi Mian, she probably dealt with things that couldn’t be brought to light.
“Does your work scope also involve the Lei family’s business?” Yi Jing wasn’t sure exactly what Xu Zaixi was doing, but their work content was probably not convenient to discuss openly, which gave Yi Jing a chance to probe discreetly.
Xu Zaixi lowered her eyes and smiled, her expression in Yi Jing’s view mixed with a hint of malice no matter how you looked at it: “That’s not for me to decide.”
Not decided by Xu Zaixi?
Yi Jing’s hand hidden behind her back clenched slightly. If it wasn’t decided by Xu Zaixi, then there must be other decision-makers above her? So, who exactly wanted to take Yu Miao’s documents?
Yi Jing smiled lightly and said: “Seems like you’ve done quite a bit.”
“Well, working for others, you know.” Xu Zaixi smiled coyly, lightly distancing herself from the matter.
Yi Jing nodded imperceptibly without saying anything.
Now it seemed impossible to make Xu Zaixi hand over the things directly.
This person was very deep, cunning in her actions and not taking many risks. She seemed somewhat vindictive and ruthless. It would be more realistic to think of a way to force her to hand things over.
There was no need to continue the conversation. She couldn’t get what she wanted directly, and Xu Zaixi’s initial chat was probably just to avoid the Lei sisters. Now both of their purposes had been achieved.
Yi Jing raised her wrist to look at her watch and said: “It’s about time, I should head to the main house. What about you?”
Xu Zaixi very tactfully raised her hand: “I’ll stay a bit longer.”
Yi Jing nodded, not bothering with further pleasantries, and turned to walk towards the main house.
If she caught Yi Heng now, she could probably ask directly about the Lei family matter, and Yu Miao – she needed to update Yu Miao on today’s news.
Xu Zaixi quietly watched Yi Jing’s departing figure, stood in place for two seconds, then left.
She came to the Yi family with other business to attend to.
The busiest people at these Yi family banquets were those like her who did the “dirty work”. Before long in the estate, Xu Zaixi was assigned an errand, so she immediately led people out of the estate.
As they were leaving, a confidant asked about Yi Jing: “Boss, didn’t you say the Yi family’s newly appointed security officer might be a bit troublesome? Now that you’ve finally met her, what do you think? Will she hinder our business in the future?”
“Her?” Xu Zaixi, who was putting on sunglasses, paused, then sneered with some contempt, “Just a naive academic type, everything written on her face. Even greener than imagined, not a threat.”
“Oh, I knew it, no one can threaten our boss,” the confidant said, shamelessly flattering without much skill.
Xu Zaixi curled her lips, revealing a somewhat weary smile.
However…
Xu Zaixi recalled again how Yi Jing had directly confronted Zhao Qin for an omega, thinking that while other aspects might not be worth mentioning, this person’s background was good enough, perhaps usable.
Meanwhile, Yi Jing was avoiding the banquet, hiding behind a dessert table on a lawn, pulling Yi Heng along to drink champagne while making her spill everything she knew.
“Hurry up, don’t make me keep asking you,” Yi Jing said.
“Really?” Yi Heng was at a loss for words, “It was just an arranged marriage from long ago, over thirty years back. The Zhao family, already somewhat declining then, bet on a cooperation by marrying a pair of sisters into the Lei family. The elder sister won the bet, her alpha partner successfully became the head of the Lei family, inheriting most of the assets.
The younger sister was less fortunate. Her alpha partner was obsessed with antiques from the start and neglected business, later completely ignoring her. The family had no reliable assets, and the sisters’ relationship was tense from the beginning. After marriage, the younger sister’s life became even more oppressive. So shortly after the elder sister’s partner inherited the family business, the younger sister secretly fled the Lei family and gave birth to an illegitimate child outside.
This illegitimate child is Xu Zaixi. The younger sister is Xu Zaixi’s mother, and the pair of sisters you just met are the elder sister’s children. In a traditional family, this was seen as shameful by both families, especially since Xu Zaixi actually has an older half-sister who sees Xu Zaixi as a disgrace and refuses to meet her.”
Yi Jing: “So that’s why the Lei sisters and Zhao Qin target her like this.”
“She is a bit pitiful,” Yi Heng waved her hand and said, “But her actions over the years have been relentless, leaving no room for sympathy.”
“I see so that’s roughly the situation. I’ll figure out the rest later,” Yi Jing said gently to the light screen displaying a voice call interface beside her, not forgetting to add, “Be careful for a while, there are still too many messy people in the Yi family right now.”
Yi Heng secretly rolled her eyes beside her.
Brainless little couple, even discussing serious matters while on a call, annoying!
“Alright, I understand,” Yu Miao’s gentle and pleasant voice flowed from the terminal’s speaker with a hint of enchantment, chuckling and coaxing Yi Jing, “You be good and listen too, okay, baobao?”
Yi Heng: “???”
Yi Heng stood beside with a confused expression, about to speak up and ask Yi Jing who this so-called ‘baobao’ was, when the next second she saw Yi Jing turn away slightly embarrassed, giving a soft “Mm”, her ears hidden in her hair faintly tinged red.
Yi Heng: “…” Wait, what???
You’re really the ‘baobao’, sister???
She was truly speechless. If ‘baobao’ is Yi Jing, then who was it that drove the Supervision Department’s car all the way to the Ninth District with an official document, scared half the detention center staff, and bailed out this rich young mistress from jail? The Grim Reaper?
This single female alpha felt despair for this insane world.
