When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me - Chapter 29

While Yu Miao and Yi Jing were being intimate, Old Master Yi was furiously angry on the other side.

His underground business was far larger than Yi Jing imagined, involving many aspects.

Human lives were already the most negligible cost in those businesses. If things really went wrong, it was uncertain whether the Yi family could even continue to exist, and even more terrible things might happen.

Now that there was a sudden change in business, Old Master Yi had arranged every step extremely carefully in order not to reveal any clues, from suppressing news of the incident at the banquet to planning this party. Every link was handled with caution, and he had barely maintained the current situation.

When Yi Jing drew his gun, he was discussing with his old partners how to deal with the biggest crisis they had encountered this year. As a result, such a childish fight came to bother him!

But this matter couldn’t be left unhandled.

Zhao Qin’s grandfather Zhao Ping was sitting in the conference room having a meeting with him. Although the Zhao family’s connection with the Yi family had gradually faded – they weren’t much help in business and couldn’t speak up in the Yi family as much as other wealthy families – their family had always had a close blood relationship with the Yi family.

Zhao Ping himself was Old Master Yi’s cousin. Years ago, when the Yi family nearly collapsed and was struggling to make a comeback, the Zhao family had helped a lot. Now the old man was still alive, and the old favors remained. Although Old Master Yi was impatient, he couldn’t turn his face and act too rudely.

But those younger generations of the Zhao family were all too useless, causing more harm than good.

Amidst his annoyance, Old Master Yi carefully weighed the pros and cons. The current situation was nothing more than Yi Jing causing a small incident. Compared to whatever junior from the Zhao family, the already excellent Yi Jing who could create much value for the Yi family in the future was more important.

That child Yi Jing was really good in every way, with the only flaw being too fond of protecting that journalist lover of hers, to the point of being almost troublesome with her love-struck brain. Otherwise, she would be the perfect future protector for the Yi family.

That Zhao Qin was also a fool who couldn’t help but only caused trouble. At his age, he repeatedly caused problems. He could turn a blind eye to small troubles, as he didn’t have to clean up after them anyway. But he didn’t know how to behave himself and carelessly provoked Yi Jing’s omega at this banquet.

Now, to protect Yi Jing safely without suffering any losses, he had to acknowledge Yu Miao’s status. Otherwise, attacking a partner for the sake of an insignificant lover would be inexcusable no matter what, and would show that the Yi family didn’t value the Zhao family at all. Even for a declining wealthy family, there was no such humiliation.

After all, Zhao Qin was still detestable.

He had just wanted to use Yu Miao to temper Yi Jing’s spirit, and had originally planned to get rid of that omega after using her to avoid future troubles. Now he had to directly acknowledge that omega’s status instead.

A good bargaining chip had to be abandoned before it could be utilized, increasing his cost of suppressing Yi Jing for nothing.

But no matter how angry Old Master Yi was, he wouldn’t really ignore Yi Jing. Anger aside, when it came time for confrontation and negotiation, he still needed to take the initiative and turn the tables.

Sitting in a lower position, Zhao Ping had also finished listening to his subordinate’s notification by now. After picking and choosing what to understand, he only caught the information that Zhao Qin was beaten and Yi Jing had confronted his precious granddaughter and even fired a shot for the sake of a woman. In his anger, he only remembered that his granddaughter’s shoulder was shot, completely failing to notice the butler’s hint about that woman’s identity in his words. He turned his face and angrily slapped the armrest of his chair, saying:

“Yi Hengzhi! Did you hear what they did? Your good granddaughter, she even pulled a gun on her own family at home! What is she trying to do? We are family. Perhaps Little Qin went too far, but what is Yi Jing doing? For just an omega, what’s so great about that? She just came home and wants to kill her own sister for an omega?”

Zhao Ping looked furious, but the other elders remained silent, only scanning back and forth between Old Master Yi and Zhao Ping with their gazes, as if assessing the situation.

Yi Sheng, Old Master Yi’s eldest daughter who now managed most of the Yi family’s business and was also sitting in the conference room, frowned slightly and said, “Uncle, please calm down first.”

“What should I calm down about! How can I calm down! This child is already out of control!” Zhao Ping was extremely angry. “Zhao Qin is her sister! How could she do this to her own sister?!”

Yi Sheng slightly raised her eyes as if wanting to say something, but was stopped by Old Master Yi raising his hand.

“So, you admit that Little Qin really had improper thoughts and went to harass the omega that Jingjing values?” Old Master Yi’s expression also turned cold as he stared at Zhao Ping and asked.

Zhao Ping, who had just been very angry, was stunned for a moment and instinctively felt something was not right: “What do you mean?”

“You know who that omega is!” Old Master Yi slammed his palm hard on the solid wood long table in front of him, startling the other elders who all looked at Old Master Yi in surprise.

“You still have the nerve to question me? That’s the fiancée I chose for Jingjing!

The two children are in love and getting along well, and Zhao Qin, as the elder sister, not only took a liking to her younger sister’s fiancée but also harassed her repeatedly!

What, do all the beautiful omegas in the world have to belong to your family? Just because Jingjing’s precious fiancée is beautiful, that brat Zhao Qin dares to try to bully my granddaughter?

You come to ask me, but you should spend this time asking your granddaughter properly!

Jingjing has warned Zhao Qin over and over again, but she didn’t take it to heart. Now that she’s been beaten, you come to me? According to what you say, should Jingjing give her own fiancée to her sister? Zhao Ping, are you trying to rebel?”

Zhao Ping was stunned for several seconds after being scolded, and it took him a while to react: “What? Fiancée?!”

Zhao Ping was startled in his heart, but thinking carefully, he felt that his granddaughter might really do such a thing. That child had been raised by him to be somewhat unaware of her limits, always unable to control herself at the sight of a beauty.

But that gunshot was too unjustified! It’s just an omega, was it really necessary to use a gun? This matter definitely wasn’t as simple as Old Master Yi said.

Just because he, Yi Hengzhi, says it’s a fiancée, it’s a fiancée? Maybe this old man just made it up on the spot to fool him!

Zhao Ping was still angry inside and frowned, saying: “How come you never told the family about such a big thing as Jingjing getting married?”

“I didn’t report it, but does Yi Jing not have a mouth?” Old Master Yi coldly glanced at Zhao Ping. “Or are Zhao Qin’s ears deaf, and she couldn’t hear what others said at all? If you really don’t believe it, why don’t you go ask Zhao Qin yourself whether Jingjing had warned her to stay away from that omega before.

You say Yi Jing was excessive for shooting at her own family, but what about Zhao Qin repeatedly harassing someone her sister cares about, and causing such a scene in the central garden, in public? Did she put family affection in her heart?”

Zhao Ping hesitated for a moment, suddenly becoming speechless.

These few families had started their businesses together years ago, and they knew each other’s backgrounds too well. If any single family were to flip the table, it would be a life-threatening matter for all of them. So the best choice was to cooperate for mutual benefit, otherwise none of them would survive.

What they called ‘family affection’ was actually just the give and take between them.

Whether one could insist on common interests was the only principle to measure if someone was family.

They were all ants on the same rope, and it wouldn’t be good to abandon any one of them. But if someone really crossed the line, there was only one solution – to make that person disappear.

Zhao Ping didn’t want to make things too awkward with others over such a trivial matter, especially since, thinking carefully, his granddaughter was indeed not a good person.

Zhao Ping wanted to give in a little, but before he could speak, Old Master Yi said in a deep voice: “In the early years, that little troublemaker Zhao Qin was already unruly. I just thought she was still young and didn’t take it seriously, but now she’s even harassing Jingjing’s lover. Zhao Ping, you really should control her.”

Zhao Ping’s face was a bit embarrassed, and he coughed lightly: “Hmm, yes, I will definitely discipline her. I just didn’t expect her to knowingly break the rules. I will definitely talk to her when we get back.”

“Don’t wait until you get back, if you have time you might as well go now,” Old Master Yi stood up, “I’ll go see Jing jing too.”

“?” Zhao Ping didn’t expect Old Master Yi to care so much about that Yi Jing, and suddenly panicked a bit. He stood up and followed, trying to persuade Old Master Yi, “No, brother, brother, wait. This matter doesn’t necessarily require you to go in person. I can go discipline my unruly granddaughter right now. This really isn’t a big deal, just wait.”

On the other side, the dozen or so other meeting participants in the conference room looked at each other, with hesitation in their expressions.

One of them, a very high-ranking lady who looked very elegant and well-dressed, gently smoothed her hair and said: “It seems this meeting will have to be paused for a while.”

Yi Sheng stood up somewhat apologetically and said: “I’m sorry, Madam Fan, it seems we’ll indeed have to delay for a while today, but I’ll be responsible for organizing the materials here.”

“Mm,” the lady called Madam Fan nodded lightly, not intending to make things difficult for Yi Sheng, and stood up very agreeably, saying casually, “In that case, we might as well go out and take a look too. Since we’re here, it’s been a while since we’ve strolled around an old friend’s estate.”

No one raised any objections. The group of extremely wealthy bigwigs left the conference room under the protection of their bodyguards and attendants. Yi Sheng watched them leave, then lightly raised her hand to seal off the conference room.

Other arrangements went smoothly, but Old Master Yi, who had left the conference room earliest, did not go to see Yi Jing as he said he would.

Regarding Yi Jing’s engagement, there was someone else Old Master Yi wanted to notify even more than Yi Jing herself.

While the banquet was being held at the Yi family estate, Yi Jing’s aunt was tasting the new dessert she had learned to make with that high-ranking and powerful wife in the villa of the core agency office in their territory.

With no children to disturb them now, the two were very sweet and intimate. Just as they were getting affectionate, Old Master Yi’s noisy communication request came through.

The affairs of these wealthy families in Jing’an City were somewhat sensitive to discuss in detail. Minister Song Qing Song couldn’t appear, so only the aunt was left to answer the holographic communication.

Old Master Yi didn’t beat around the bush either. As soon as the communication connected, he told her what Yi Jing had just done.

Upon hearing that her beloved adopted daughter had caused trouble again, the aunt’s previously relaxed expression also became serious. However, thinking carefully, Old Master Yi’s handling of the situation was indeed the best already.

As Yi Jing’s aunt, she didn’t care much whether the Yi family would lose face in resolving this matter. She just felt that Yi Jing’s heartfelt wish to be with that young girl seemed to be achievable now.

She had originally feared that Old Master Yi would interfere.

This accident came quite unexpectedly.

“If that’s the case, it seems not bad to settle their matter first,” the aunt said thoughtfully. “After all, that child was quite an excellent reporter before resigning from Rizhong Group, which matches Jingjing’s status well. As for age, there’s not much difference, they’re all young people. It’s good as long as they have good feelings for each other. In any case, it’s better than Jingjing being punished for this. If Jingjing really gets disciplined, it would be difficult for both you, Second Uncle, and Qingqing.”

Old Master Yi nodded: “Mm, that’s what I think too. It’s been hard on you taking care of Jingjing all this time. This child really does whatever comes to mind.”

The aunt laughed, instinctively protecting Yi Jing without thinking: “It’s not that bad. Jingjing may seem capricious, but she actually knows what she’s doing. She’s just occasionally willful in small matters, but never messes up important things. She knows how to distinguish clearly and never causes me trouble.”

So if you insist on targeting Yu Miao, Yi Jing might turn against you.

Old Master Yi frowned slightly but didn’t respond to that. He only said: “If that’s the case, let’s arrange this matter like this for now. I’ll notify the rest of the family about the follow-up.”

Before Old Master Yi could finish speaking, his most trusted butler suddenly walked in hurriedly, looking somewhat anxious as he said in a low voice: “Chairman.”

“?” Old Master Yi frowned in displeasure, “What happened?”

The people he kept by his side definitely shouldn’t be this rash.

“Chairman, it’s not good,” the butler came closer and lowered his voice to say, “Miss Zhao Qin bandaged her wound and then ran to Jinghe Garden. She has already disturbed the Old Ancestor.”

“What?” Old Master Yi paused, his face instantly clouding with anger.

He had always been unwilling to take Yi Jing to Jinghe Garden. Firstly, he felt that Jinghe Garden was quiet and peaceful, having been out of worldly affairs for many years, and he didn’t want to disturb it. Secondly, he actually didn’t like to bring up Yi Jing’s background. That was completely his own selfishness, but it had all been broken in one day.

Zhao Qin and the Zhao family were simply working against him!

Unlike Old Master Yi, the aunt was quite happy to hear this, but couldn’t show it on her face. She thought for a moment and changed the subject, saying something Old Master Yi would like to hear:

“To go there so rashly? That’s really too inconsiderate. The Zhao family has been quite presumptuous lately. It seems this child Zhao Qin can’t be kept around anymore.”

“Mm,” Old Master Yi responded with a gloomy face, “Of course she can’t be kept.”

—

While the situation changed several times at the main residence, Yi Jing was still cuddling with Yu Miao at the guest quarters.

“Aren’t you planning to go back yet?” Yu Miao lightly moved her shoulder, pushing the “accessory” leaning on her back.

She had already put her clothes back on, but the clingy “accessory” hadn’t been shaken off.

“I’m not going back,” Yi Jing buried her head in Yu Miao’s neck, saying very clingily, “They should have a resolution over there by now. I’ll leave when the explanation comes out.”

Yu Miao laughed lightly, exposing her thoughts: “What, are you still afraid someone will give me trouble?”

“…Hmph,” Yi Jing snorted softly without answering, only muttering quietly, “You can do whatever you want, I’m just here, I won’t disturb you.”

Yu Miao sighed lightly in her heart.

But just the little alpha being here prevented her from doing anything else.

However, she could cling if she liked clinging.

Yu Miao turned to connect her terminal to her work equipment and began half-seriously processing the information she had collected earlier and the accumulated work logs.

Yi Jing was very well-behaved and didn’t look much, but in her heart she was considering what to do if this matter really couldn’t be resolved peacefully.

Taking Yu Miao away wasn’t realistic.

All the equipment in the Yi family estate was connected to a specially customized security hub, with positioning chips built into the drive that could track movement trajectories at any time. There were also patrol teams checking various situations in the estate at all times and surveillance cameras with almost no blind spots.

When she had no conflicts with the Yi family, these things would of course protect her well, but in the current situation it was very troublesome. If the old master didn’t allow it, she couldn’t even take Yu Miao out of the estate. Even if they luckily made it to the main gate, entering and exiting would leave records, and they would be discovered very quickly.

Trying to make Old Master Yi shut up was even more unrealistic.

Not to mention that the old man always had a bunch of bodyguards and assistants with him wherever he went, even if she really had the heart to do it and could take out the old Yi, it would be of no use.

The Yi family was ruled by Old Master Yi, but it didn’t rely on him alone to keep running. Even if he went offline, the Yi family would still exist. Now there were definitely more people than just Zhao Qin eyeing her and Yu Miao and wanting to make a move. If she really did that, it would be turning against everyone. With her current abilities, she couldn’t protect anyone, neither Yu Miao nor herself.

Thinking it over, she could only use herself as a threat.

Like saying if anything happened to Yu Miao she would die together, or turn against the family to make Old Master Yi suffer some losses.

Yi Jing sighed helplessly in her heart.

It was still too rushed like this now.

She had no bargaining chips in her hands now, everything was an open hand. She really couldn’t compare to those old foxes and the natives with their many tricks. But if she could be given more time, she might be able to do more.

As Yi Jing thought about it, she couldn’t help but hug Yu Miao a little tighter.

Yu Miao was squeezed to the point of having trouble breathing, and even her hand that was on the keyboard was pulled back.

That abrupt pressure made her a bit uncomfortable. After realizing what it was for, Yu Miao felt a bit helpless. She relaxed her straight back and raised her hand to stroke Yi Jing’s hair, saying: “I’m suffocating, baby. This kind of play isn’t done like this.”

“?” Yi Jing’s ears moved slightly, originally a bit downcast, but after realizing what Yu Miao meant, she instantly let go, her ear tips turning red as she backed away two steps, saying, “I-I didn’t, I didn’t mean that.”

Yu Miao laughed lightly, teasing her: “Why so nervous?”

Yi Jing: “…”

Yi Jing was completely speechless.

But she had something else she could give Yu Miao. Yi Jing picked up her crumpled jacket from under the bed with red ears, and took out a pair of handcuff-like devices from the silver-embroidered pocket of the jacket.

“What’s this?” Yu Miao raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the thing in Yi Jing’s hand with surprise, feeling that Yi Jing’s “progress” shouldn’t have grown so fast.

“Oh, this is something I brought from the office. It’s used by inspectors when they go out to enforce the law, to monitor suspects who want to atone for their crimes by reporting and contacting accomplices. With this, I can see your location at any time. If you feel in danger, you can directly break this part to alert me.”

As Yi Jing spoke, she separated the two rings in her hand and put one on Yu Miao’s hand.

Yu Miao looked down at the bracelet, then looked up at Yi Jing, saying with a half-smile: “You’re giving me something used for criminals?”

Yi Jing was stunned, immediately waving her hands frantically to clarify: “Of course not! I just, I’m just worried about you. What if they target you?”

Yu Miao looked away and laughed dully: “Alright then.”

Yi Jing: “…”

Yi Jing silently blushed, really unable to handle Yu Miao at all.

“Anyway, anyway, just keep this. In case something really happens, I can find you in time.” Yi Jing said softly.

“Mm.” Yu Miao nodded, quite skillfully putting the half-handcuff-like bracelet on her wrist.

Yi Jing was originally very afraid she wouldn’t be willing to accept it. Now seeing Yu Miao put on the bracelet, her heart instantly settled down a lot, especially Yu Miao’s slender wrist passing through that metal-colored restraining bracelet, it was actually quite sexy.

As Yi Jing looked, her gaze couldn’t help but become a bit dazed, following Yu Miao’s fair wrist as it moved back and forth. Yu Miao sensed that strongly present gaze without much deliberate feeling. She was no longer some naive high school student, and one glance up told her what the little alpha was thinking.

Seeing Yi Jing’s somewhat dazed look, Yu Miao couldn’t help but curl her lips slightly, her heart itching with cuteness. In a moment of passion, Yu Miao raised her hand without thinking and brought her wrist to Yi Jing’s mouth.

“Hm?” Yi Jing paused, his lips brushing against the metal restraint bracelet. He looked up at Yu Miao with a slightly confused expression.

“Mm.” Yu Miao was pleased seeing Yi Jing’s reaction. His response had a lightly rising tone at the end, his voice cheerful. His eyes held a hint of amusement and provocation.

Yi Jing froze for a moment, then immediately understood Yu Miao’s meaning. He raised his hand to grasp Yu Miao’s forearm and stared directly into his eyes, opening his mouth to bite Yu Miao’s wrist where the restraint bracelet was.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming heated and sensual, there was suddenly a knock on the main door of Yu Miao’s suite.

Yi Jing: “???”

Yi Jing and Yu Miao were both startled. Yu Miao seemed to realize something and quickly withdrew his hand.

Yi Jing: “!!!”

Who could it be, so annoying! Why did they have to knock at this moment!

Yi Jing angrily went to open the door, only to find it was the butler that Yi’s grandfather trusted greatly. The displeasure on Yi Jing’s face was instantly replaced by surprise.

Oh no, he had almost forgotten about the incident in the central garden.

“Did grandfather send you?” Yi Jing asked with a furrowed brow.

“Yes,” the butler replied respectfully and gently to Yi Jing, “The Chairman requests your presence at Jinghe Garden.”

Jinghe Garden?

What’s that?

Yi Jing predictably showed a look of confusion, but the butler remained calm, skillfully and professionally ignoring Yi Jing’s slightly wrinkled shirt and slightly creased trouser legs, only saying: “Please don’t worry, I will guide you there.”

Yi Jing still looked unwilling, turning back to look at Yu Miao.

Yu Miao had also come out and was standing behind Yi Jing, his expression calm with a hint of scrutiny as he looked at the butler.

The butler bowed naturally to Yu Miao as well: “Miss Yu.”

Yu Miao was a bit surprised, pausing for half a second before lowering his eyes and nodding slightly to the butler. He turned to Yi Jing and lightly patted his arm: “You should go then.”

Yi Jing didn’t really want to go.

But not going probably wasn’t an option; what he had just done definitely needed some kind of conclusion. After hesitating for a moment, Yi Jing gently squeezed Yu Miao’s fingers and said softly: “Wait for me to come back.”

Yu Miao nodded: “Mm.”

The butler beside them acted as if he hadn’t seen their interaction, pretending to be blind with great skill.

Yi Jing left with the butler, while Yu Miao, returning to his own bedroom and closing the door, wasn’t particularly worried about his own safety.

The little alpha probably didn’t know how much leverage his position as a security officer could gain with Yi’s grandfather.

Given Yi Jing’s achievements, Yi’s grandfather would definitely value her greatly, even more than half of the Yi family members, second only to his own grandchildren.

From all his experiences, Yu Miao knew Yi’s grandfather was an ambitious old man, eager for the Yi family to prosper for generations under his leadership. But he couldn’t possibly control the Yi family forever, so the only thing he could do was pave the way for the family’s future as early as possible.

Now the second generation of the Yi family had basically taken shape, more or less inheriting the initial form of Yi’s grandfather’s business, without much progress. But that wasn’t what Yi’s grandfather wanted to see.

That old man’s vision was far longer than most people’s. In his previous life, he had gone to great lengths for the Yi family’s crown princesses or rather, the Yi family’s third-generation successors, working tirelessly to the point of having almost omnipotent connections, just hoping they could climb higher and higher.

That series of operations had also indirectly made it extremely difficult for him to seek revenge, no matter how hard he tried, he was always effortlessly blocked by that old man’s powerful backing.

As for this time, Although it wasn’t clear where Yi Jing had come from and why she had changed things that originally existed, a junior born into the Yi family, raised by high officials, with both a wealthy background and superior political connections, who was personally excellent and had a bright future, was clearly much more useful than other ‘outside forces’, at least much better than the mediocre security officer from District 13 in his memory.

If he were Yi’s grandfather, he wouldn’t give up on Yi Jing, a junior with unlimited potential either.

If everything goes smoothly for Yi Jing, by the time it’s truly Yi Mingyu’s turn to take over the Yi family, Yi Jing will be the best protective umbrella for Yi Mingyu and the crown princesses. Blood ties alone would make them inseparable, so what could stop the Yi family from continuing to accumulate wealth?

So Yi Jing definitely wouldn’t be punished for such a small incident.

As for himself…

Yu Miao had considered the possibility that Yi’s grandfather might find him a hindrance, but he wasn’t a fool who would just stand there waiting for others to harm him.

Yi Jing loved him, and this was his bargaining chip, giving him much room to speak in front of Yi’s grandfather.

Yu Miao believed he understood the Yi family well enough. As long as that old man wasn’t crazy enough to directly fall out with Yi Jing just to eliminate him without question, he wouldn’t die.

He had always known where his value lay, and he would definitely not lose in negotiations.

However, as Yu Miao walked back to the room and saw Yi Jing’s jacket left in his bedroom, his eyes couldn’t help but soften. He picked up the jacket from the ground and hugged it preciously.

He hadn’t expected that in the end, he would have to rely on the little alpha’s love to protect himself.

Initially, he had only thought about playing around, wanting Yi Jing’s true heart, wanting to control the other person. He hadn’t expected that he himself would develop real feelings.

Yu Miao hugged Yi Jing’s jacket, lost in thought for a while, until he heard his door being knocked on again.

Yu Miao, who had been immersed in memories, lifted his head. That slightly longing and dazed expression disappeared instantly, replaced by a clear and sharp gaze towards the outer room.

Who would come at this time?

Yu Miao instinctively felt that whoever was knocking this time was definitely not ordinary. Sure enough, when he opened the door, there was a gentle-looking omega, probably about the same age as him. As soon as she saw him, she smiled softly and warmly, her gentle voice soft and sweet:

“Miss Yu, hello, it’s been a long time. This time I’m here on behalf of our young miss to see you. You had previously asked the young miss’s friend for help to enter the Yi family, and now the young miss would like to meet you. Would that be convenient for you?”

As expected, judging by this manner, it must be Yi Mingyu.

Had his relationship with Yi Jing finally attracted other ambitious individuals?

This actually suited his purposes.

Yu Miao smiled lightly, a hint of coldness in his eyes, though his tone remained as gentle as ever. He chuckled softly and said, “Sure.”
