The hospital ward was heated. Jiang Yujin lied to Jiang Rongzhou, saying that he had just gotten off the plane, dropped off his things at his place, and then came over.
"Xiao Jin hasn't eaten yet, has he? Shall I ask your second brother to go buy breakfast? What would you like to eat?"
Jiang Rongzhou was four months pregnant and found it difficult to move around. An alpha's body carries a higher risk of pregnancy than a typical omega pregnancy, and since the pregnancy was advanced, a cesarean section was the only option.
Jiang Xienan was completely obedient, regardless of whether Jiang Yujin ate or not. "Rongzhou, I'll be right back. Be careful yourself. If there's anything, have this kid do it."
"Brother, I can have breakfast on my way back."
"Since you're all here, don't go to all that trouble. Ozu, please eat something."
Jiang Rongzhou beckoned his youngest brother to sit next to him, "Did you have a good time on your trip? Did you bring back any gifts for your older brothers?"
Jiang Yujin said guiltily, "Yes, I do. I'll bring it to the hospital a few days later when I have time." He was thinking about the money and didn't know how to bring it up.
"Jiang Mo went with you, right? Never mind, it's not a big deal for you to go back to your hometown with her. You should go back and take a look after her anyway."
Jiang Yujin was practically raised by Jiang Rongzhou, so how could Jiang Rongzhou not know him?
The stubborn younger brother, once he's made up his mind about something, nothing can change his mind.
"Brother, you already know. I'm sorry... I will always be a member of the Jiang family, and that will never change."
Jiang Yujin lowered his head. "I lent that money that was in a fixed deposit to a friend. She can't repay it right now. She said she'll have to wait until the end of next year. I'm sorry, brother, can the company hold out until then? Is there really no other way?"
With the company bankrupt, Jiang Yujin could not sit idly by and wait for his fate.
That was the result of my mother's and brothers' hard work.
Xie Rongyu's most beloved youngest son, though she said she was disappointed in him, she had already prepared a way out for him from birth. The fixed deposit, plus interest, would amount to 100 million yuan when he was eighteen, enough to support a company's operation for half a year. This was a privilege that her other two sons did not have.
"One hundred million? That's a lot?" Jiang Yujin thought it was only ten million at most, but he never expected that his mother had always been the one who gave the most to him.
"Xiao Jin, I don't object to you lending money to your friend, but the amount is too large. Is this friend someone you can trust?"
“I believe in her, brother. She’s different from Jiang Mo. I know her character.”
In order to protect Liang Dongmo's image in front of Jiang Rongzhou, Jiang Yujin did not hesitate to slander Jiang Mo, saying, "Jiang Mo is heartless and ungrateful. Even though such a big thing happened at home, and I tried to persuade her, she just wouldn't come back with me..."
"Xiao Jin, don't get too close to Jiang Mo. You can't outmaneuver her. Stay away from Liang Dongmo too. Neither of them are good people." Jiang Rongzhou closed his eyes and pinched the tip of his nose to relieve his fatigue. His back ached from sitting for so long.
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in blaming his naive and foolish younger brother.
"What about Jiang Jianxing? Did he not receive a single penny?"
"He escaped."
The father, who most wanted to seize power, disappeared with his mistress and illegitimate child at a critical moment when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
“Brother, I actually lent the money to Liang Dongmo,” Jiang Yujin said with deep remorse. “She said she would pay it back by the end of the year. I believe her. Brother, let’s work together to find a way to keep the company afloat for another year. We’ll have money after a year.”
There were only two people around Jiang Yujin who could swindle his money, and Jiang Rongzhou regretted not reminding his younger brother to be careful.
Jiang Mo clearly intended to ruin the Jiang family, and deliberately chose to target their most foolish younger brother.
Jiang Rongzhou didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Mo's actions until he discovered Jiang Mo's other identity. Using her former name that had been recognized by the Jiang family, he followed the clues to find the rival company that had been competing with their company for projects. The boss behind that company was Liang Dongmo. Seeing that his younger brother was obsessed with Liang Dongmo, he hesitated for a moment but still kept it a secret and advised Jiang Yujin to stay away from them.
In the beginning, it was Jiang Rongzhou who let the wolf into the house, allowing Jiang Mo to teach Jiang Yujin.
With Jiang Mo at home and Liang Dongmo outside, Jiang Yujin was completely outmaneuvered by his two identities.
"You're finally back. Have breakfast and go keep Mom company. Your brother will take care of the rest, so don't worry. Just go to the Xie family's house and stay there. Spend some time with Mom and study hard."
Jiang Rongzhou kept it a secret and never revealed it, intending to discuss it with Jiang Xienan upon his return.
Jiang Yujin also kept other things from him.
He promised to keep his mother's situation a secret.
Given Xie Rongzhou's personality, it would be discovered if he didn't go to the Xie family.
He decided to call his mother on the way and ask her to cover for him. He drank a cup of soy milk, saving room for the breakfast Liang Dongmo had prepared when he got back.
He could smell the sourness of the plums Jiang Xienan brought back from afar, and couldn't resist eating a few more.
"Little brother, you always try to steal food from your brother. You've always been like this since you were little. If I didn't know, I would have thought you were pregnant too." Jiang Xienan had specially bought some sour plums to stop Jiang Rongzhou's nausea, so naturally he couldn't stand seeing anyone else eat a few more.
He bought a large bag of food, which took up a lot of time. Jiang Rongzhou hadn't even eaten many before Jiang Yujin started showing off his food.
"Jiang Xienan, if you can't buy more, why are you arguing with your little brother? How old are you and still making a fuss?" Jiang Rongzhou's words were like an imperial edict, so Jiang Xienan shut up and said nothing more.
With a powerful backer, Jiang Yujin made a face at his second brother, said goodbye to his eldest brother, and left the ward.
Jiang Yujin was a student and didn't have the ability to raise that much money; in fact, he spent it extravagantly.
He leaned against the wall outside the ward and called Lu Anshi to borrow money.
I promised to treat the other party to a meal, but I owe them three meals now. Before I could treat them to a meal, I borrowed 50,000 yuan to tide me over.
Lu Anshi didn't blame him; the news that the Jiang family's company was going bankrupt had already been leaked half a month ago.
Jiang Yujin was far away in Fengtian Town and was not well informed.
"Thank you, Lu Anshi. I will pay you back as soon as possible."
Looking at the text message confirming the arrival of 50,000 yuan, Jiang Yujin still frowned. 50,000 yuan was a drop in the ocean, and he transferred every last penny to Jiang Rongzhou.
My older brother has children and needs money for hospitalization, so he has no reason to be selfish.
He couldn't get through to his mother on the phone, and there was a time difference abroad, so he planned to go to the Xie family in person that afternoon to say hello and make sure nothing was revealed.
-
When Jiang Yujin returned to the apartment, Liang Dongmo made him a bowl of chicken soup wontons. He was thinking about the taste of the sour plums he had eaten in the hospital, so he only ate one wonton and didn't want to eat any more.
"You don't like my wontons?"
"I haven't had much of an appetite lately, Liang Dongmo. My brother invited me to stay for breakfast at the hospital, but I only had a cup of soy milk before coming back to eat the wontons you made."
Liang Dongmo stubbornly picked up the bowl of wontons and insisted on feeding him by hand. Jiang Yujin reluctantly ate one more wonton after it was fed to him.
Liang Dongmo tried to feed her again, but Jiang Yujin took the food in her mouth, turned her head, and spat it into the trash can next to her.
He never wants to eat anything related to chicken again in his life.
The feeling of wanting to vomit but being unable to is so uncomfortable.
"Liang Dongmo, stop feeding me, I can't take it anymore." Jiang Yujin felt nauseous again, and vomited up the wontons she had eaten, followed by the cup of soy milk she had drunk at the hospital.
"I'll pack up, you go and rest."
Jiang Yujin caught a chill yesterday, and her vomiting is due to a cold.
Liang Dongmo could understand.
"I'm not sleepy. I'll go buy some things and come back. You wait for me at home." It'll be lunchtime in a few hours, and Jiang Yujin doesn't want to vomit anymore, so she plans to go to the nearest nut shop to buy some sour plums to stop the nausea.
"Okay, be careful on the road. If you go too far, call me and I'll come pick you up." Liang Dongmo changed into a suit. She usually wears casual clothes at home and rarely dresses so formally except when she has to go to work.
The mask concealed her face. Liang Dongmo had a great figure, a fact that Jiang Yujin was well aware of.
Jiang Yujin couldn't buy the kind of sour plums that Jiang Xienan had, so he settled for the sourest kind in the store. Considering that his family had gone bankrupt, he only bought a small bag and stopped.
Just try a taste.
Maybe in a few days his taste will change and he won't like eating these particularly sour plums anymore.
Jiang Yujin walked happily to the apartment building with the plums she had chosen, when a group of people suddenly appeared behind her. Before she could even shout for help, her mouth was covered and she was dragged into an old white van.
His hands and feet were tightly bound, and Jiang Yujin struggled in vain. A black cloth covered his eyes, and the smell of leather in the car mixed with the chaotic pheromones of the kidnappers made him feel nauseous.
"Who are you? How much money do you want? I can give you anything..." As soon as he got in the car, his pockets were searched. Jiang Yujin didn't bring any cash with him. When he found his phone, he heard one of the kidnappers asking him for his password.
"I forgot." Jiang Yujin pursed his lips, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth after being slapped by the kidnapper.
After he honestly gave them his lock screen and bank card passwords, they covered his ears. Jiang Yujin endured his fear and nausea, afraid that the kidnappers might beat him again if they disagreed.
The car was very bumpy and fast, and it took a full five hours to stop. Jiang Yujin breathed in the air outside the car, and the dizziness subsided a little. The black cloth in front of his eyes was finally removed, and the masked kidnappers roughly dragged him upstairs.
Jiang Yujin had never seen such an unfinished building before. The stairs leading up had no safety measures whatsoever, and looking down revealed the view at the very bottom. His legs trembled with fear as he followed the kidnappers to the top of the unfinished building.
Isn't that his bastard father?
Jiang Yujin climbed twenty floors to the rooftop, where Jiang Jianxing sat on the edge of the building like a madman, his feet dangling in the air, beckoning him over.
"Xiao Jin, it's been so long! Dad missed you so much. Where did you go the other day? I've been looking everywhere for you."
"Why did you go to all this trouble to kidnap me?" The two kidnappers forcefully dragged him to sit down next to Jiang Jianxing.
"Xiao Jin, I know you hate people like me. Although we are not related by blood, you are the son who is most like me. Look, how about we sit down and have a good talk now?"
Jiang Yujin frowned and pushed back a little. The feeling of being suspended in mid-air was unpleasant, and sitting on the ground was filthy.
"What are you going to talk about? How did you cheat on us and set such a good example?" After spending so much time with Jiang Mo, he had actually learned to appear calm on the surface, even though he was clearly afraid of the height of the building and worried that he might accidentally fall.
"I remember your mother left you a large sum of money? She really doted on you; even your own child and husband, with whom you spend every day, don't receive this treatment." Jiang Jianxing was always looking out for himself; a shrewd businessman would keep an eye on anyone he could use.
Want money? No way!
"I lent it to someone else, so I don't have any on me right now. I only have a little money in my phone." Jiang Yujin was thin and frail. He had no chance against Jiang Jianxing, who had the upper hand and the advantage of numbers.
“It’s alright, Dad believes Xiao Jin will have money soon. Do you not know Xiao Jin’s personality? He can’t wait to spend all the money as soon as he gets it. Even when Dad came to ask for money and begged Xiao Jin to save the company, he refused. How could he possibly lend it to others?” Jiang Jianxing did not believe his words. Jiang Yujin had been selfish since he was a child. He was not satisfied even after spending all the money and kept asking them for more.
"Several of my men are single alphas, and they used to be mercenaries. How about Ozu takes a look? What kind of pheromones do they like?"
What does it mean to just randomly give him a few alphas?
Jiang Yujin covered his gland, looking at Jiang Jianxing with disbelief. How could he be so heartless as to try to control him with a mark?
"Dad, I'll call a friend and ask her to bring the money over. Let me go upstairs first!" Jiang Yujin's composure, which he had maintained for only a short time, was shattered. Jiang Jianxing, who was desperate and could not get the money, was really capable of doing the most heinous things.
Jiang Yujin didn't want to be marked and manipulated. Liang Dongmo had given him a temporary mark today, and if there were more, he wouldn't be able to bear the pain of rejection.
How could those smelly alphas be worthy of biting him?
"Xiao Jin, is that your friend? She seems to have arrived quite early. When did you notify her?" Before the call could be made, a familiar figure appeared downstairs.
In addition, several police cars arrived downstairs.
Jiang Yujin's pupils contracted.
How did Liang Dongmo find this place?!
"Dad, you can ask her for the money. I really don't have any money on me." Omega's face was covered in dust. He lay weakly on the dirty cement ground. The black crow pointed at his head. Now he couldn't help but be afraid.
Jiang Jianxing got this, and he won't let him go until he achieves his goal.
"So that's what it is. Very interesting." Jiang Jianxing exerted fierce force, tearing the necklace off Jiang Yujin's neck, and his leather shoes rolled over the black rose.
The locator is gone.
The police arrived.
...
Inside the operating room, the omega's fate was unknown, while outside, three alphas engaged in a fierce fight.
"The patient is nine weeks pregnant. Her glands have been temporarily marked by different alphas, and several pheromones in her body are out of balance. The baby cannot be saved and she will miscarry. The family should be prepared and sign this form before our hospital can begin the surgery."
Liang Dongmo's suit was stained with blood, but it wasn't hers. Without that ugly pig's head mask, the only expression on his face was one of utter despair.
She finally had a child with Jiang Yujin, but because of her incompetence, she was about to lose it, and Jiang Yujin's life was also in danger.
"What about my brother? He's still a child! He's only nineteen, and you've deceived and ruined him. Now you're pretending to be a saint?" Jiang Rongzhou grabbed her tie. When he received the call from the hospital, Jiang Rongzhou was on the verge of miscarriage. His brother's pregnancy was such a big deal. "It's my problem that I can't control him, but you don't even know he's pregnant. All this scheming and maneuvering, what do you really want? Huh?! Jiang Mo?"
"Why don't you have a good opinion of Jiang Jianxing? You've thought about so much, calculated so much, but you don't care about Xiao Jin's affairs at all, and you even want to provoke him. I'm begging you, what exactly do you want to do?!"
After Jiang Rongzhou punched him, Jiang Xienan helped him catch his breath, saying, "Don't upset the baby. It's been a long time since you've had a chance to recover. I'll keep an eye on things here. You go and rest, Rongzhou."
"Some family members should come with me to pay the fees. Please don't shout or make a scene outside the operating room. Keep quiet so the doctors can perform the surgery more effectively."
Liang Dongmo reacted, "I'll go."
