Accidentally Picked Up a Rich and Amnesiac Alpha (GL) - Chapter 20
Yan Qingqi sat at the table and carefully wrote down her orders for the next day. A customer asked, “Will you have the tomato fish fillet soup tomorrow?”
Before she could answer, the elite Alpha from building 25 answered for her, “The boss cooks according to the menu. Tomorrow’s menu doesn’t have tomato fish fillet soup.”
Immediately after, the Alpha from building 25 placed an order for a roasted chicken. The two from building 24 ordered a roasted chicken and a portion of golden garlic spare ribs. Additionally, two others ordered garlic spare ribs, and one ordered roasted chicken. It totaled three roasted chickens and three portions of garlic spare ribs.
The garlic spare ribs needed to be marinated in advance. Yan Qingqi put on her gloves and started preparing the ribs. Imagining the delighted smiles of customers enjoying her food and placing more orders, Yan Qingqi felt extremely happy.
Earning her own money felt great.
As it got close to dinner time, she remembered that Songsong had a dinner engagement, so she would be eating alone. She simply cooked a bowl of noodles to make do, and as she ate, she texted Songsong, [Have you started eating yet?]
Halfway through her meal, a message came from Songsong, [Just finished for the day. Heading to the hotel now. Did you eat dinner?]
[I’m eating now, mushroom and spare rib noodles,] Yan Qingqi replied with a smile. [Which hotel are you eating at?]
[Lihe Hotel. It’s close to the set.]
Qiao An exclaimed, “Look! That car! This is the place!”
According to the information, the car left the coffee shop and drove straight here. Since then, it hadn’t left Hidden Mountain Villa.
Jing Michu glanced at the car a few times and then looked up at the two-story villa.
The sky was getting dark, and warm light shone from inside the house.
“It’s here. Now let’s see if that person is my cousin,” Jing Michu said, her heart pounding. She walked up and pressed the doorbell.
[Then I won’t bother you. Waiting for you to come home.] Yan Qingqi had just sent that message when her phone was put aside and the doorbell rang.
She looked at the surveillance monitor. Two people were standing outside: one tall, wearing a high-end custom suit, with a handsome face that couldn’t hide her excitement—she looked like an Alpha. The other had a delicate, sweet face and beautiful, large eyes—she looked like an Omega.
Yan Qingqi hesitated, wondering if she should open the door.
The two looked vaguely familiar, but who were they? As Yan Qingqi tried to think, her head began to hurt again.
The two rang the doorbell for a while, seeing no response. The Omega said, “Is anyone home?”
The Alpha said, “No way. It’s dinner time, the living room lights are on. Someone is inside.”
The Omega asked, “Should we call Song Tingxue and ask?”
The Alpha said, “Don’t alarm her yet. We don’t know if she’s involved in this.”
Yan Qingqi listened to their murmuring and didn’t know what they were up to. She was surprised that they knew this place was connected to Song Tingxue.
The door opened.
Yan Qingqi looked wary. “Who are you? Who are you looking for?”
Both of them stared at her, their gazes like scanners, checking Yan Qingqi from head to toe. The Alpha suddenly rushed forward to hug her. “Cousin! I found you!”
Yan Qingqi was startled and dodged to the side. “Who are you?!!”
Ten minutes later, Yan Qingqi held a rolling pin in one hand and her phone tightly in the other. “I’ll say it one more time. My name is Yan Qingqi. My name is not Wen Shuyan, and I don’t know anyone named Wen Shuyan. You have the wrong house, and you’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
The Alpha was Jing Michu, and the Omega was Qiao An.
“Cousin, what’s wrong with you? You are Wen Shuyan; your voice is the same.” Jing Michu stared at the bruise on her forehead and coaxed her gently, “Cousin, did you hurt your head?”
Yan Qingqi said, “Don’t call me cousin. I told you my name is Yan Qingqi, and I don’t know you!”
There are so many bad people these days. Who knew what these two strangers meant by coming here and wrongly claiming kinship?
Jing Michu said, “Okay, okay. You’re Miss Yan, right? Miss Yan, I don’t know what happened to you, but this isn’t your home. Your home is in S City, and it’s bigger and more beautiful than this! Will you come back with us? We’ll get the best doctors to examine you, and the results will be out right away.”
A warning bell went off in Yan Qingqi’s mind. This person clearly has bad intentions! And she looks worse the more I look at her! How did she find this place? She seemed to know that Songsong lived here, and she was trying to trick her into leaving with them! She even wanted to take her for an examination. Who knows if they’re trying to steal her organs?
Yan Qingqi’s heart pounded. She looked at the two suspicious strangers and warned, “I don’t care who you are or what your purpose is. I’ve told you I’m not Wen Shuyan, and I’m not your cousin. Miss Jing, if you keep pestering me, I’m calling the police!”
Jing Michu paused, then suddenly said, “Fine, then call the police! We’ll go to the police station together.”
Yan Qingqi: “…”
What is going on? Don’t criminals follow the usual script these days?
As the two sides were at a standstill, Yan Qingqi’s phone rang. It was Xiaole. Yan Qingqi had a bad feeling about Xiaole calling her now.
“Hello, Xiaole.”
“Sister Yan, I’m a little worried about Sister Song.” Xiaole’s voice sounded very uneasy.
Yan Qingqi immediately tensed up. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“At the dinner today, Mr. Xiao, the investor, brought a friend, Mr. Jin. That Mr. Jin kept pressuring Sister Song to drink with him. Sister Song called me to go in and get her, but as soon as I entered the private room, that Mr. Jin told his subordinates to kick me out. I think Sister Song might be drunk.”
Yan Qingqi’s blood rushed to her head. “I’m coming right away!”
Xiaole urged, “Sister Yan, hurry up.”
Yan Qingqi hung up and said to the two strangers, “I have an urgent matter and need to leave now. Please get out!”
Jing Michu asked, “Miss Yan, where are you going?”
Yan Qingqi said, “That’s my private business. I’ll say it one more time: you have the wrong person. Please leave, and don’t harass me again!”
Jing Michu had no choice but to pull Qiao An back outside the door. They watched her leave, get into her car, and drive away.
Qiao An turned and asked, “What do we do? Your cousin doesn’t seem to recognize us at all. She really looked like she was in a big hurry.”
“It’s probably related to her head injury.” Jing Michu had initially thought her cousin was protecting herself by using the name Yan, but now it seemed she genuinely couldn’t remember who she was.
“Never mind that for now. Let’s follow her and see what the urgent matter is.”
At the Lihe Hotel, Mr. Jin was blocking Song Tingxue, his triangular eyes lecherously glued to her, staring her up and down as if she were naked.
“Miss Song, you are truly the peerless beauty from the movies! No wonder you’re a Grand Slam Movie Queen at such a young age.”
Song Tingxue held back her displeasure. “That’s the recognition of my acting skills by everyone. I’m fortunate to have won, and it’s inseparable from the support and help of the crew and everyone else.”
Song Tingxue secretly prayed for the dinner to end soon.
Mr. Xiao reminded him, “Mr. Jin, today is just a get-together. You’ve seen Movie Queen Song. I think it’s getting late, and it’s time to wrap up.”
“What are you talking about? It’s still early. This is my first time seeing Movie Queen Song in person. Don’t I get to look at her a bit longer? Little Song is a hundred times more beautiful than I imagined! She’s much prettier in real life than in the movies! Look at that skin…” Mr. Jin reached out to touch Song Tingxue’s shoulder.
Song Tingxue subtly avoided his hand. “Mr. Jin, we’ve had our drinks, and everyone has had a good time. I have to film early tomorrow, so maybe we can stop here for today and have dinner together another time.”
Mr. Jin insisted, “Director Li, you’ve exhausted Little Song. How about this: we’ll start filming later tomorrow. We can film in the afternoon instead.”
The others exchanged glances. They were accustomed to scenes like this and understood exactly what Mr. Jin was implying. The director didn’t dare offend Mr. Jin, as he was counting on his investment for his next film.
“Mr. Jin is right. Filming isn’t that urgent. Little Song, you should get a good rest tonight. You can just come to the set tomorrow afternoon.”
Mr. Jin was very satisfied, and a lewd smell permeated his laughter. “Little Song, you heard him. Let’s continue drinking. It’s fine if you get drunk. I’ll get you a room here at the hotel, and I’ll send you there.”
Mr. Xiao frowned and interjected, “Mr. Jin, why don’t we stop here for today? We can go to the club and continue drinking.”
Mr. Jin sneered, “Mr. Xiao, are you drunk today? You’re talking too much. Can those girls at the club compare to Movie Queen Song? I think we should forget about that development project you were talking about.”
Mr. Xiao gritted his teeth and said no more.
Song Tingxue’s expression changed. Since even Mr. Xiao didn’t dare to stop him, this obese Mr. Jin probably had a powerful background.
Song Tingxue stood up. “Mr. Jin, I’m going out to make a phone call.”
Mr. Jin smiled. “Go ahead. Be quick. I want to drink the night away with you.”
Song Tingxue forced a smile, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave the private room. Mr. Jin said in a cold, casual voice, “Little Song, you’re a smart person. If you drink well tonight, you can pick any resource you want in the films I invest in. If you’re ungrateful…” Mr. Jin gave two cold laughs. “We’ll be seeing a lot of each other. If you don’t want to, plenty of others are lining up.”
Song Tingxue pretended not to understand his veiled threat, opened the door, and left the private room. After a few steps down the hallway, she was stopped by two men. “Miss Song, where are you going?”
Song Tingxue said, “I need to make a phone call.”
“You need to make a call? Please, this way. The room next door is empty.”
Song Tingxue quickly looked around but didn’t see Xiaoling. She didn’t know if she had been chased away or if someone was distracting her.
Song Tingxue’s eyes darkened. She had already informed Ji Yun about the situation, but the company hadn’t taken any action yet. She didn’t know if the company didn’t dare to act or if they had acted but it hadn’t made a difference.
Just as Song Tingxue was burning with anxiety, the elevator door opened. Yan Qingqi rushed out. She spotted Song Tingxue in the hallway immediately and almost shouted, Songsong! Remembering they were secretly married, she quickly changed her address. “Miss Song!”
Song Tingxue was surprised. “Why are you here?”
“I heard you were having dinner here and came to check on you.”
Mr. Jin pushed the door open. Drunk, his gaze was even more vulgar. He swayed as he looked for Song Tingxue. “Little Song, Movie Queen Song… are you done with your call? Come on, drink with me.”
He reached out to put his arm around Song Tingxue. Yan Qingqi stepped in front of Song Tingxue, staring coldly at the obese man. “I’m sorry, she has an urgent matter and probably can’t go drinking with you.”
A look of cold authority focused directly on the man named Jin. Her back was perfectly straight, and she said nothing more, yet she subtly radiated the commanding pressure of a top-tier Alpha.
Mr. Jin’s heart skipped a beat. He was momentarily stunned, but when he realized what had happened, he became furious. “Who the hell are you? She has an urgent matter? What urgent matter?”
Yan Qingqi quickly gave herself an identity. “I’m her personal assistant. Sister Song hasn’t been feeling well lately. I need to take her to the hospital.”
Mr. Jin instantly became arrogant, looking at her with disdain as if she were an idiot. “Get lost!” He reached out a fat hand to pull Song Tingxue.
Yan Qingqi stood her ground, shielding Song Tingxue.
“Are you that stupid? Or are you blind? Is this your business to manage? Get lost, you pathetic little Alpha! Don’t let me see you! Or I’ll beat you every time I see you!”
Yan Qingqi had never been so insulted in her life. Having been cursed at so directly, even her excellent upbringing couldn’t stop her. She retorted, “Sir, are you threatening me? This is a public place. Sister Song has the right not to drink with you. If you want to drink, go find a barrel and climb in! You’re nothing but a worthless drunkard anyway!”
Mr. Jin’s subordinates were all stunned for a moment. They exchanged glances. It was the first time anyone had dared to insult their boss to his face.
Mr. Jin’s face turned green with rage. “You dare to insult me! You little assistant, I’ll show you how I’m going to kill you today!”
