A Yandere Omega Abandoned Me After Getting Pregnant - Chapter 28.1
[Host, Host, get out of the way quickly!!!]
The System shouted in Ye Xingran’s mind, telling her to dodge immediately while sounding a red alert. It was clear that something major had occurred to trigger such a reaction.
Ye Xingran could vaguely sense what was happening around her, and she knew that if she truly dodged, her painting would definitely be the first to suffer.
In that case, participating in this competition would be the same as not participating at all. How could she allow that?
Thus, instead of dodging, she stayed to protect her painting.
However, she didn’t just sit there waiting for fate. After the System issued the warning, she not only saw Wei Xuejin in the distance signaling with her eyes for her to be careful of her flank, but she also caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye: some dirty water was being splashed toward her—
Without a second thought, as the dirty water was about to reach her, Ye Xingran kicked a long umbrella resting nearby up into her hand, clicked the button to open it, and shielded her painting just in time as the water splashed over!
Splash—
The entire venue fell into instant silence.
Dead silence.
Everyone watched helplessly as that basin of water splashed toward Ye Xingran, with no one having had time to stop it.
Even though Ye Xingran’s reaction was incredibly fast, the majority of the dirty water still hit the surface of the umbrella. Even the painting she had shielded so tightly was not entirely spared; a few drops of ink splattered onto it, ruining the integrity and perfection of the entire piece.
“My god, what just happened??? Did anyone see clearly???”
“Even at 3x slow motion, you might not be able to see exactly what she was doing!”
“Who is this little Alpha? I’ve never seen her before.”
“Seriously, is someone really that petty? To destroy someone’s work with a trick like that? Not to mention her hand is still wrapped in bandages!”
…
Seeing such a thrilling scene, the audience was left on edge. Once the moment passed, it felt as if they had come back to life and began eagerly discussing what had occurred before their eyes.
But the lingering fear remained!
What on earth happened?!
Moreover, many people realized that the style of painting Ye Xingran had produced was something they had never seen before; it belonged to an unfamiliar genre.
Furthermore, because she had signed up late, she was arranged in a corner at the edge. Not many people knew her, and with other big names from the Art Department present, even fewer would have noticed her.
But even if they couldn’t see exactly what her painting looked like now, they could tell from her painting tools—which she hadn’t had time to pack yet—that her work was quite different from others.
“Assistant Gu, conduct a strict investigation into this matter.” Seeing that Ye Xingran had protected her painting and herself from the dirty water, Wei Xuejin was still angry.
…Angry?
She frowned, feeling that her inner self was actually calm, without too many emotional fluctuations, yet she simply could not stand to see Ye Xingran being bullied like this.
Beside her stood many school leaders. Hearing Wei Xuejin speak, they all snapped out of it. One of them reacted quickly and said: “That is a certainty. I will send someone to look into the situation immediately. President Wei, please go to the room to rest for a while—”
“No need. I’ll go with you to see what the situation is.” How could Wei Xuejin go and rest while Ye Xingran was facing such trouble?
This competition might seem like small stakes, but she believed everyone competed very seriously and their intentions should not be trampled upon like this.
Especially… she had never seen Ye Xingran with such a happy expression. Although the girl had smiled many times in front of her, and they were always sincere smiles.
However, she had never seen that kind of happy expression—
She didn’t know how to describe it. She felt that when the little Alpha was painting, she seemed to enter a world that belonged entirely to her, where no one could disturb her.
In that world, she could truly be herself, completely different.
She didn’t want the girl to suffer any grievances.
Because, even from such a distance, she could feel the emotions Ye Xingran was transmitting to her; it was so charming that it drew one in.
The girl truly loved painting.
She should protect her.
After saying this, Wei Xuejin didn’t care what others’ expressions or thoughts were. In fact, she had always been used to doing things her own way and didn’t care at all what others thought.
She just wanted to get to Ye Xingran’s side as quickly as possible to check on her.
This might be the “proactivity” Chu Luoyun spoke of—making an Alpha happy was not a simple task.
At the painting site.
Ye Xingran waited until the surroundings had completely settled before closing the umbrella, maintaining a composed demeanor throughout without a hint of panic.
There was still dirty water on her umbrella. She intentionally shook it hard several times in Wang Mengke’s direction, immediately drawing a stream of curses from her: “Ye Xingran! You absolute devil! Your painting is ruined, so why are you messing with mine?!”
Ye Xingran shook the water off the umbrella completely, then unhurriedly closed the umbrella and looked at her with a disdainful expression.
“You’re blaming me? Why don’t you talk about what you did just now?” Ye Xingran didn’t wait for her to answer but directly pointed at the “lucky star” sitting on the ground.
“I didn’t… it wasn’t me! It was him! He tripped and splashed the water!” Wang Mengke gritted her teeth and kicked the male Alpha who had accidentally been tripped by painting supplies while trying to exit in a hurry and was still lying on the ground. She said to Ye Xingran: “The real culprit is him!”
[Dodge! It was she who tripped this male Alpha to make the dirty water on her table splash toward your painting…]
“Using another’s hand to kill.”
[Yes, yes, yes! It was ‘murder by proxy’! So petty! Host, don’t let her get away with it!] The System was boiling over. [My CPU is about to burn out! How can she be like this! Your painting is still ruined, for goodness’ sake!]
“So, since you’re so angry, can you let me open the shop and exchange for some ‘Dongfeng’ missiles or something…”
[…Host, I just checked, and I really don’t have those items in the shop. At most, I have some spicy sticks and compressed biscuits…]
“Then your anger is fake.”
[…]
Ye Xingran was only joking with it; she didn’t actually want to exchange for missiles. Moreover, dealing with a person like this didn’t require such high-level equipment.
“I… I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.” That male Alpha was clearly scared witless. Moreover, Wang Mengke had planned this for a long time. She was no fool and had likely done many such bad deeds; she was well-versed in the routine. How could she not know that by pressuring the other party, she could gain complete control?
Because of this, the male Alpha actually followed her lead, admitted the fault, and raised no objection at all.
Ye Xingran: “…It wasn’t you.”
“How was it not him? Are you saying it wasn’t him just to frame me?” How could Wang Mengke allow Ye Xingran to find out the truth?
She immediately looked at the surrounding students. “Would you guys say it was him or not?”
While saying this, she secretly released the pressure unique to an Alpha, forcing them to admit it.
Some timid students couldn’t hold out and actually identified him, while others who could withstand Wang Mengke’s pressure said nothing. Still, the scene was very chaotic.
“Ye Xingran, look at you. You’re judging a gentleman with a scoundrel’s heart. Now you’ve misunderstood me and even dirtied my painting. What do you have to say?! Shouldn’t you apologize to me, kowtow three times, and call me ‘Daddy’?”
“Tsk…”
“What ‘Daddy’?”
Just as Ye Xingran was about to mock Wang Mengke with a few lines, Wei Xuejin had arrived with a large group of school leaders. The spacious venue instantly became crowded. Even Teacher Xu and the other judges came over; the commotion was large enough.
Ye Xingran hadn’t expected Wei Xuejin to come over. She was surprised and happy. Approaching her side, she asked in a low voice: “Auntie, why are you here?”
“I was afraid you’d be bullied.”
“Sigh, how could I be bullied?”
“Then would it be alright if I said I wanted to come and protect you from being bullied by others?”
Clatter—
As soon as Wei Xuejin finished speaking, the fluffy creature on Ye Xingran’s shoulder—which had somehow taken out a handful of melon seeds ready to crack them—immediately dropped the seeds in its hand. It covered its face and hid behind Ye Xingran’s neck, not daring to look at her.
…It was embarrassed again.
Wei Xuejin really felt like kissing her.
“Cough, Auntie, I’m actually both good-looking and capable. This isn’t something that requires your move; I can naturally deal with the other party myself.” Ye Xingran was used to resolving things herself when trouble arose. Furthermore, dealing with a petty person like Wang Mengke didn’t require Wei Xuejin to step in.
The Auntie could just stay on the side with a handful of melon seeds and enjoy the show.
She didn’t need to do anything else.
“Alright, I’ll just watch from the side.” Wei Xuejin knew her capabilities. She wouldn’t force her way into handling it; her coming over was just to back her up. She wouldn’t let her suffer any grievances.
“Ye Xingran, don’t think that calling school leaders to help will let you shirk responsibility. You misunderstood me and even ruined my painting. This debt isn’t settled like that; you must give me an explanation!”
Ye Xingran’s few swings of the umbrella just now were no joke. Not only was the force great, but the angle was very tricky. Wang Mengke’s painting was more than half finished. She was using watercolors; although they dry quickly, coloring can usually only be done once and doesn’t blend easily later.
This meant that once the painting was dirtied, it was basically impossible to change or repair. This painting was effectively ruined as well.
Now, that dirty water was scattered in tiny spots across her painting. It looked unappealing, and the original artistic mood was gone.
She had to repaint.
But Wang Mengke showed no expression of regret or sadness; she was only aggressive in demanding an explanation from Ye Xingran.
Many students had gathered around, pointing and whispering:
“Although this Ye Xingran is pitiable since her painting is also ruined, destroying another student’s painting before clarifying everything is really mean.”
“I suspect it’s revenge. Wang Mengke and she don’t get along, so she took the chance to ruin someone else’s painting so both would be unable to participate!”
“Wow, scary… I thought she changed her personality after changing her hairstyle. And her performance outside the hospital last night was practically ‘one man holding the pass against ten thousand’! Beyond impressive!”
“But now…? Heh!”
“So how should this be handled now?”
“Hard to say.”
…
Not only were the people on-site discussing it, but people in the live stream were also discussing it.
A student was running a fairly popular live stream. Since today’s lecture was held by Xu Guannan, it attracted many people. Seeing such a scene, opinions were varied:
—I think Ye Xingran isn’t wrong!
—My god, I just want to know what kind of painting Ye Xingran is doing, okay! I’ve been painting for so many years and I’ve never seen a style like hers!
—Hey, yeah, what’s going on with that?!
—Wait, wait, wait. Is the person standing by her side and backing her up President Wei? Is it that decisive, cold, and machine-like President Wei?! Is it her, is it her, is it her?
—It’s her, but so what? What Ye Xingran just did was still wrong. She should admit her mistake!
…
“Ye Xingran, stop denying it. It’s clear you intentionally took revenge because you didn’t want me to compete. You should apologize to me and bear all the losses!”
Wang Mengke struck while the iron was hot, refusing to give Ye Xingran any possibility of refusal. Her momentum grew increasingly aggressive, seemingly trying to force her to admit guilt!
It had to be said that Wang Mengke’s use of her own gender advantage to pressure Ye Xingran was a very “wise” move.
However, while these tricks might have worked on the original host, they were useless against Ye Xingran. She had encountered far too many situations like this. There was no shortage of people more terrifying than this, or those who were better at acting with borrowed authority.
She could see through those people’s tricks every time. Although Wang Mengke’s trick wasn’t exactly clumsy, so what?
It didn’t mean a lie could become the truth. A fake thing is still fake and cannot become real.
Especially this matter, which seemed complicated but wasn’t difficult to handle at all.
“Actually, proving the truth is very simple. We just need to pull the surveillance footage.” Ye Xingran had long seen the camera on the wall. Pulling the footage would make everything clear at a glance.
Wei Xuejin naturally saw that camera too, but… if she wasn’t mistaken, that camera seemed to be broken.
Sure enough, after a short while, someone resembling a security guard came running over and told the school leaders that the camera here was broken because it wasn’t used often and hadn’t been repaired yet.
Wang Mengke had a solemn expression on her face, but she was likely overjoyed in her heart.
This was great. Even the heavens were on her side. Ye Xingran didn’t even have a chance to turn the tables.
In fact, she had counted on the camera being broken before she dared to scheme against Ye Xingran. Furthermore, the unlucky guy she schemed against was lower in rank than her. By using some small tricks, she could naturally play him in the palm of her hand.
Sure enough, all favorable conditions were now manifest on her side. Ye Xingran had no choice but to apologize!
She would not allow a “useless” person like her to take the spotlight in front of Wei Xinzhu; she simply wasn’t worthy!
She also wouldn’t give her the chance to perform in front of Professor Xu; she wanted to strip her of all opportunities.
“Well, Ye Xingran? You have no choice but to admit it now. So many students here witnessed you swinging your umbrella wildly and ruining my painting. What else do you have to say!” Wang Mengke continued to seize the initiative, absolutely refusing to give Ye Xingran room to think, trying to force her to admit the mistake immediately.
“This student, please pay attention to your decorum and appearance when speaking. Don’t spray saliva everywhere.” Wei Xuejin had a slight obsession with cleanliness, and seeing this Alpha show such a lack of personal hygiene, she couldn’t help but remind her. She also pulled Ye Xingran back a few steps and asked: “Where exactly is the camera broken?”
The security guard in charge of the cameras immediately answered: “The signal line is loose and it can’t be used.”
“The storage part isn’t broken, right? The camera can actually still be used?” Wei Xuejin took another look at that camera: “It actually shouldn’t be completely broken.”
“Wow, System, what does the Auntie mean?” As soon as Ye Xingran heard this, she felt the other woman looked like an expert. Could she actually fix cameras???
[Host, keep watching and you’ll find out~ Also remember not to forget to complete the task! You have to make the Auntie blush before the end of today!]
“…” If it hadn’t mentioned it, she really would have forgotten.
But Ye Xingran’s focus wasn’t on the task, but on Wei Xuejin potentially fixing the camera.
