038
Two years later, the next news I heard about that omega was that he was going to hold Ms. Xie Rongyu's funeral at the Xie family's old house.
The funeral is tomorrow. The woman stood in front of the French windows, holding a cat. As Xie Rongyu's biological daughter, she was naturally invited. With blood ties as the bond, she didn't have much affection for Xie Rongyu. She went to acknowledge her relative with a heart full of revenge, trying to please everyone as if completing a task.
I heard that she died from excessive blood loss after having her glands removed abroad.
Omegas who have been marked for life cannot remove the mark over time. If they are separated from their alphas for a long time without comfort, their emotions will gradually break down and their mental health will suffer.
"His mother has passed away, he must be very sad." It was strange for a person to talk to a cat; the only response was a few meows.
"Are you going to see Daddy with Mommy tomorrow?"
After asking her question, she met the cat's puzzled look, took out her phone, turned on the screen, and showed it to the cat in her arms. "Don't I show you your dad every day? You stupid cat, you've gained weight, but your memory hasn't improved at all. You're just as ungrateful as your dad, only remembering the bad and not the good. You can just leave whenever you want."
We promised to compensate them back then, but we couldn't keep those who insisted on leaving.
The woman's eyes revealed sorrow as she gently put down the silent cat. The cat landed on the ground and rubbed against its owner's trouser leg, letting out a few more sweet meows.
It's been two years, so it's normal for the cat not to remember. It was sent to a pet store for a while when it was so small, and we only brought it back when it was almost a year old. It's been raised to be two and a half years old, and it's gained quite a bit of weight.
"No matter how much you beg, I won't take you. You silly cat who only causes trouble."
The cat couldn't understand its owner's words, but it was curious about its owner's bad expression, so it continued to meow in a drawn-out tone.
The main hall of the Xie family's old residence.
In the very center is a coffin covered with a white cloth. A black and white portrait of Xie's only daughter is placed in front of the coffin. After the funeral, the memorial tablet will be enshrined in the Xie family ancestral hall and worshipped together with all the Xie family members.
The two elderly people passed away one after the other, and their only worry, their daughter, also passed away.
As Xie Rongyu's son, Jiang Yujin knelt before the mourning hall, sincerely hoping that his mother would not encounter bad people in her next life.
A month ago, Xie Rongyu, his mother, insisted on having her gland removed. The surgery went smoothly at first, but when it was time to suture, she suffered a massive hemorrhage, as that area itself was very risky.
Before the surgery, Jiang Yujin did not understand why Xie Rongyu had to have the surgery and tried to persuade her many times.
It wasn't until Jiang Yujin cleaned her room and discovered a lot of medicine that he realized his mother had been maintaining a facade all along.
It's too hard. The dependence and control brought about by pheromones are completely ineffective with her own willpower. Taking medication to avoid worrying her children is the only thing Xie Rongyu can do.
She was finally free from dependence and passed away at the young age of fifty-one.
Jiang Yujin completed the rest of his studies in a month and returned to China with his mother's ashes.
Liu Jiaren was an old acquaintance of his mother, Xie Rongyu; he was ten years younger than her and they met during a school reunion for the 90th anniversary.
Liu Jiaren said that Xie Rongyu was thirty years old at that time and well-maintained. He fell in love with her at first sight, thinking she was a junior in college. However, after inquiring, he found out that she had gotten married early and gave up his feelings. Years later, the Jiang family was embroiled in a scandal, and Xie Rongyu hired a lawyer to defend her, who happened to be him.
"Ozu, the guests who came to pay their respects have arrived."
"Teacher, thank you for accompanying my mother and me back to China this time."
"You're welcome. Welcome to work at my law firm. I'd be happy to work with you juniors. I think your mother would feel the same way if she were still here."
During his two years of study in the United States, Jiang Yujin developed a strong interest in law, so lawyer Liu Jiaren was hired by Xie Rongyu to be his teacher.
Jiang Yujin politely declined, saying, "No, teacher, I still hope to open my own law firm."
Strict teachers produce outstanding students. Don't be fooled by Liu Jiaren's kind and gentle appearance now; he was thoroughly disciplined abroad and completely lost his bearings.
The guests who came to pay their respects wore white paper flowers pinned to their chests. Omega didn't recognize these faces, but thankfully his teacher was there to arrange everything.
At any time, and in any situation, a lawyer must maintain basic composure.
As they were chatting, Jiang Rongzhou and his family of three arrived.
The three brothers, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, gathered in front of their mother's mourning hall. Jiang Xienan gave the mistress a sum of money and only then did he learn that although the child was born to the mistress, it had no blood relation to Jiang Jianxing. Therefore, the child born to Jiang Rongzhou did not have any hidden genetic diseases.
"I'm sorry, little brother, it was my mother who made a mistake. She was bewitched and had no money and nowhere else to turn but to Jiang Jianxing, which led to this..." Jiang Xienan had said this on the phone, and he said it again in person.
Jiang Yujin interrupted him, "Apologize to your mother on behalf of your mother." Whether his mother would forgive him was another matter.
He knelt down, picked up his two-year-old niece, and asked, "Do you remember me?"
Little Jiang Shimiao is shy and cries loudly when a stranger picks him up.
Jiang Yujin quickly returned her to his father and asked in confusion, "When you were little, you only cried when you were born. After that, you never cried or made a fuss. Why are you so shy now that you're older?"
Jiang Rongzhou wiped away his daughter's tears, "It's all because her daddy spoiled her. You were like that when you were little too." In Jiang Xienan's eyes, omegas are meant to be pampered, especially his precious daughter.
After appeasing Jiang Shimiao, Jiang Rongzhou took her to her mother's portrait to recognize her.
The two older brothers took the children upstairs to rest, while Attorney Liu had to leave early due to a new case.
As evening approached, guests who came to pay their respects arrived in batches, and Jiang Yujin was exhausted from handling the funeral arrangements.
Two years later, the alpha was still the same. He came to his birth mother's funeral last, without the slightest shame. He wore a black suit with a white paper flower pinned to his chest, just like everyone else.
"Sorry I'm late. Little brother, the cat at home is very clingy."
"Let's light some incense for Mom, since we're here." Jiang Yujin pretended not to understand the deeper meaning in her words and didn't want to get entangled with her.
If there was any ill-fated relationship, it should have ended completely two years ago.
Liang Dongmo obediently offered incense, kowtowed three times, and stood up. Unlike the other guests, he did not leave but stood beside Jiang Yujin to keep vigil with him.
After keeping vigil for three days, Liang Dongmo stayed at the Xie family's residence. The Xie family was large and wealthy, so they naturally had guest rooms.
After switching shifts with Jiang Rongzhou and leaving the mourning hall, Jiang Yujin couldn't help but mock her, "Didn't you say you had cats at home to take care of? Sister, it's really strange that you stayed until the third day, given your personality."
Jiang Jianxing destroyed the Liang family, and Liang Dongmo destroyed the Jiang family.
There is give and take.
After the Jiang family company went bankrupt, Jiang Yujin provided funds, and Jiang Rongzhou and Jiang Xienan started a small company together to start over.
Liang Dongmo's company has grown larger and larger, with business covering the globe.
“I am still my mother’s child. Someone will come to feed the cats at home. I don’t have to worry about it at all.”
Liang Dongmo was exhausted. She had been on guard all night. The guest room assigned to her was not comfortable to sleep in. She was wearing her pajamas and was about to ask the housekeeper to change her room.
"Don't try any tricks." In Jiang Yujin's eyes, she had become a complete villain, her eyes filled with constant vigilance.
"I've missed you so much these past two years, Ozu. How are you doing abroad? I haven't heard from you, and I'm so worried about you. I'm not interested in money, but if you like it, I can give you what you want. I won't hide anything from you anymore. You still won't forgive me? I didn't mean to lie to you. I didn't stop you from going abroad. Letting you go is the most regrettable thing I've ever done." The omega has grown taller, but he's still not as strong as the alpha, and his level isn't as high, so he's always been suppressed.
The guest room I randomly entered hadn't been cleaned and was covered in dust.
Jiang Yujin frowned and was forced to give her a bittersweet kiss, afraid that she might want to do something else. "I have to keep vigil for my mother tomorrow, Liang Dongmo. If you do this, you'll never be able to set foot in the Xie family again in this lifetime."
The omega's threatening tone needs to be even colder, otherwise it will have no effect on her.
Out of consideration for Xie Rongyu, Liang Dongmo released him.
"What exactly do you want? What don't you have right now, Liang Dongmo? Money, status?"
Jiang Yujin shouted, panting heavily, unable to maintain his composure towards her.
He leaned against the door, trying his best to avoid contact with the alpha, but she stubbornly clung to him, saying, "I only want you."
“What kind of omega do you want? There are plenty of higher-level ones out there. These days, if you want one, there’s a whole line of them waiting for you in bed,” Jiang Yujin said angrily.
Even now, the relationship is beyond repair, yet they insist on breaking the bond that connects them. Every time Liang Dongmo appears, he unconsciously recalls those humiliating memories.
"I only want you," Liang Dongmo repeated.
Jiang Yujin was irreplaceable to her.
Jiang Yujin is her omega.
She spent two years in China looking at photos sent back from abroad, day after day.
The person had finally returned, right in front of her, and she tried everything she could to beg for forgiveness.
"Incomprehensible!" The omega's voice trembled with anger. If it were the old him, he would definitely have been fooled by her humble appearance of begging for forgiveness. How could he possibly put aside past grievances and be with her again now?
"Are you getting horny again? How have you been these past two years without me? It must have been tough for you."
The alpha smelled the pheromones gradually emanating from the omega and found them very fragrant.
Without Jiang Yujin by her side, she was at home tearing things apart during her vulnerable period.
Liang Dongmo relaxed beside him, closed his eyes, and felt a stinging pain in his gland.
Jiang Yujin took out the inhibitor he had prepared in his pocket, gave her an injection, and then gave himself one as well.
"I think you're the one who's getting horny. I'm perfectly fine without you. If you feel lonely, there are plenty of people in clubs outside who can find a nice, affectionate woman for a fee, okay, Liang Dongmo?" Don't get in his way.
Jiang Yujin pushed aside the woman who had just received her injection and hadn't had time to react, then opened the door and strode away.
The alpha, who remained in place, leaned against the wall, inhaling the lingering scent of plums in the room, reluctant to leave.
She had been patient for too long. When gentle methods failed, she resorted to force. She didn't care about the process; she only cared about the final result.
