A Tsundere Beauty Omega is Stubborn but Sweet - Chapter 13
“Are you—”
“Sister~”
Zhou Muxian’s obedient attempt to curry favor instantly made the scolding opening on the other end of the phone fall flat.
After several seconds of silence, Yu You finally spoke in a relatively calm voice, enunciating each word clearly. “Are you deliberately making trouble for me because you don’t like me?”
“What’s wrong, Sister? It’s nothing much, right?”
Zhou Muxian did not understand why Yu You was so agitated. She had indeed asked Zheng Xixi to spread the word that she desired Yu You and wanted to pursue Yu You.
She hoped everyone could help come up with ideas.
Her original intention was to turn the fight between the real and fake heiresses into her own one-sided simp behavior.
This way, those with bad intentions would not try to hurt Yu You in order to please Zhou Muxian and cling to the Yu family’s business prospects.
A foolish beauty like Yu You should naturally be held in the palm of one’s hand and worshiped.
How could she be dragged into those boring, melodramatic, hurtful plots?
Thinking about it again, Zhou Muxian felt relieved. After all, Yu You was a foolish beauty. How could she possibly understand Zhou Muxian’s painstaking intentions?
Zhou Muxian was just about to explain a little when the person on the other end of the call sounded so anxious she was about to jump.
“The rose bouquets you bought have filled the entire courtyard! Every card has those nauseating love words written on it. I don’t even want to look! And those drones floating in the air—what ‘Zhou Muxian only loves Yu You’? In broad daylight, are you insane? Those balloons flying everywhere, those singing dolls—hurry up and tell them all to leave the area around the Yu residence! They’re so noisy!”
Hearing this, Zhou Muxian was stunned.
These people really were outrageously efficient. They had charged straight to the Yu residence.
No wonder Yu You had exploded. Who could endure this?
“Did you hear me, Zhou—Zhou Muxian?! I was willing to live peacefully with you, but you insist on tormenting me, don’t you? You… haah…”
The angry and anxious voice on the other end of the phone suddenly changed, carrying endless lingering softness and a wet, drawn-out tone.
Having already seen Yu You in heat several times, Zhou Muxian immediately judged that Yu You was about to go into heat again and hurriedly asked with concern.
“Sister, don’t be angry. It’s my fault. The suppressants I gave Sister last time should still be there, right? Sister, hurry and use them. After you inject the suppressant, you can continue scolding me.”
The sounds on the other end of the phone gradually became distant. There were endless clinking and thudding noises, but no human voice.
Once heat began, naturally, the sooner it was resolved, the better it was for the body.
Moreover, Yu You’s heat was always fiercer and more intense than an ordinary Omega’s. If suppressants were not administered in time, Zhou Muxian truly did not know what might happen.
But even if Zhou Muxian grew wings and flew over, she would still be far too late.
Right—Ge Yuan should be in the Yu residence’s greenhouse right now.
Zhou Muxian remembered that Ge Yuan had sent a message in the morning, saying she had no classes that afternoon and could go to the greenhouse to take care of it.
Ring, ring, ring—
The WeChat call connected the instant it went through.
“Ge Yuan, Yu You is in heat. Go to the room beside the second-floor staircase and help me check on her. If she hasn’t used the suppressant, look around the room and inject it for her in time. Sorry to trouble you.”
Zhou Muxian had no mood to beat around the bush and stated her request directly.
Ge Yuan agreed immediately, then called back with a video call three minutes later.
Zhou Muxian pressed accept with a restless mind. On the other end of the video, Yu You’s face was covered in liquid that could not be distinguished as sweat or tears. She leaned wetly against the foot of the bed, her opened neckline revealing a flushed collarbone and a chest rising and falling with heavy breaths.
“Did the suppressant not work?”
Just as Zhou Muxian thought she had bought low-quality suppressants, Ge Yuan’s voice came from the other end of the video. “No, Muxian. I’m still looking. I was afraid you’d be worried about Yu You, so I video-called you first.”
Ge Yuan’s method was rather considerate.
“Okay, thank you.”
Zhou Muxian thanked her sincerely and waited a while longer before she heard Ge Yuan excitedly tearing open some packaging. “Found it, found it! I’ll inject Yu You right away.”
In the video, Ge Yuan injected the medicine into the back of Yu You’s neck. Yu You’s tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and her tense body slowly softened.
Ge Yuan spent a great deal of effort moving the limp and uncooperative Yu You onto the bed, then carefully covered her with a blanket.
The phone camera slowly moved from above Yu You’s head to the foot of the bed, clearly filming every detail.
“Is there anything else I should pay attention to?” Ge Yuan asked very responsibly.
“No, that’s all. Thank you.”
Zhou Muxian thanked her sincerely. Luckily, Ge Yuan was there. The Yu residence was full of all sorts of people, and Zhou Muxian was still unfamiliar with many faces. She did not even know who was an Alpha or Omega, so she did not dare casually order people around.
If she used the wrong person, wouldn’t that be sending a wolf into a sheep pen?
“Then I’ll hang up first. Those flowers are still waiting for me to take care of them,” Ge Yuan said, preparing to end the call.
Zhou Muxian suddenly remembered the WeChat message Princess Fenxiang had sent. The words had carried a blatant hint of threat, so she hurriedly stopped Ge Yuan. “How has your father been these past few days? Has he recovered from the shock of the misdiagnosis?”
“Um…”
As soon as Ge An was mentioned, Ge Yuan became somewhat hesitant. In the video, her expression also gradually turned pale and grim.
This made Zhou Muxian feel that something was wrong, and she hurriedly pressed, “Tell me.”
“My dad accidentally damaged a valuable item at the company. They said he has to compensate over a million. That same day, he became so anxious that he vomited blood and was sent to the hospital. The hospital prescribed medicine for gastritis and let him go home.”
As Ge Yuan spoke, she flipped the camera to reveal her own pure and sincere face. “Muxian, your family is so rich, so you probably know quite a bit about valuable items, right? Can you help me judge the real price of the item my dad damaged?”
“No problem. If there’s a physical object, send it to me. If not, send me photos. I’ll find someone to help appraise its true value. Most valuable items have a price but no real market. If it really goes to court, you might not necessarily need to compensate that much.”
Zhou Muxian agreed readily. Her relaxed attitude of “don’t worry, leave it to me” made Ge Yuan feel much more at ease.
After hanging up the video call, Zhou Muxian instinctively furrowed her brows. Her heart was filled with irritation. This Princess Fenxiang really came up with one scheme after another, endlessly.
She was absolutely determined to force Ge An to drive an oil tanker and crash into the Yu elders.
If it were not illegal, Zhou Muxian would also want to drive an oil tanker and send Princess Fenxiang flying.
Alas, unfortunately, no matter which world one lived in, one still had to follow that world’s rules and games.
Ding—
Very soon, she received the picture Ge Yuan sent over WeChat.
Zhou Muxian opened it and saw shards of a brush pot with blue-and-white porcelain patterns. She knew nothing about appraising such items, so she directly forwarded it to Father Yu and Mother Yu’s longtime secretary—Secretary Chen.
[Zhou Muxian: Sorry, Secretary Chen, I’m troubling you again. Can you help find someone to check the price of this item?]
[Secretary Chen: Give me five minutes.]
[Zhou Muxian: That fast? (shocked cat.jpg)]
[Secretary Chen: wink.jpg]
Five minutes later—
[Secretary Chen: I asked Elder Xun. He said this blue-and-white porcelain square brush pot is an antique from the late Ming to early Qing period. Antiques of this type are worth around two to three hundred thousand. This brush pot is estimated at around 1.5 million. The reason it is so much more expensive than similar items is that it was originally part of a pair. The figure paintings on the outside of the two brush pots are exactly identical. Even the strands of hair perfectly overlap, and the naked eye cannot distinguish any difference.]
After seeing the message, Zhou Muxian felt a headache coming on. It was actually genuine. Princess Fenxiang really was willing to spend heavily, linking every scheme together without leaving a single flaw.
Ding—
[Secretary Chen: evil smile.jpg]
[Zhou Muxian: ?]
[Secretary Chen: I won’t tell Boss that you broke his beloved brush pot.]
Zhou Muxian froze for a moment before coming back to her senses. So the other brush pot was with Father Yu. What a coincidence.
After class ended, Zhou Muxian headed straight for the Yu residence.
Taking advantage of the fact that Father Yu and Mother Yu were still away for their meeting, she secretly slipped into their study. Sure enough, at a glance, she saw a brush pot exactly the same as the pile of shards in the picture.
Rather than raising money to help Ge An overcome this crisis, it would be better to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, then later find a way to buy the west wall back.
After all, the market value of this thing was only two or three hundred thousand. If one of the pair was broken, naturally, it would no longer be worth 1.5 million.
Zhou Muxian picked up the brush pot and hurriedly turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, Yu You stood at the doorway in a silk nightdress, arms crossed over her chest, looking at her with arrogant satisfaction.
“What are you doing, my pursuer?”
