Chapter 57
Su Ziqin had achieved her goal. Louise was successfully speechless because of her words. Seeing this, Su Ziqin continued, “Princess, you’ve come all the way from Country Y, so I’m sure you’re very used to Hua Country.”
“I thought you were going to invite me to dinner?” Louise said with a smile.
Su Ziqin shook her head like a small pendulum, and said with a bit of exaggeration, “How could a princess be missing a meal from me? I believe if you just crook your finger, a lot of Alphas would be willing to invite you to dinner.”
“Oh?” Louise looked at Fu Qingyun with a smile. “Then Fu Qingyun, will you invite me to dinner?”
Fu Qingyun didn’t turn her head. She put one arm around Su Ziqin’s waist and turned her around in her arms. Su Ziqin smiled and wrapped her arms around Fu Qingyun’s neck. “Honey is so amazing.”
Fu Qingyun replied to Louise, “Princess, you should find someone else to treat you.”
“You are so cold,” Louise said with a sigh, standing up. “We still have to work together in the future.”
Su Ziqin heard this and asked Fu Qingyun in a suspicious whisper, “What do you mean, work together?”
Fu Qingyun calmly explained, “She’s Professor Smith’s student. She’ll come to the lab with the professor to work.”
Su Ziqin looked at the smiling vampire in front of her and thought that this person was definitely doing it on purpose. With so many students, why would the old foreigner have to bring a royal princess? If Louise wasn’t doing this on purpose, Su Ziqin would take off her head.
“But don’t worry, I won’t be working with her often. I’ll just go to the lab once in a while.” Since she got the CPTH authorization, Fu Qingyun could synthesize the medicine herself. However, to deceive others, she still needed Professor Smith to come to Hua Country to study cell regeneration. And if the research was successful, it would also be a blessing for all of humanity.
Fu Qingyun and 12138 had already planned to put the real lab in the basement. Even the black 4D projection of the lab had been moved home. 12138 was now a multi-tasker, watching over the lab and Su Ziqin at the same time.
Louise licked her small canine tooth and looked at Fu Qingyun with a smile. “You don’t seem like the kind of person who isn’t serious about academic research?”
“I’m the initiator of the project. I’ll provide the professor with all the research materials. I won’t interfere too much with the professor’s research. I think this is a form of respect.”
Louise said nonchalantly, “Sure. You people from Hua Country have your own opinions. My uncle will be coming next week. You can’t be stingy with a dinner then.”
Fu Qingyun nodded and held out her hand to her. “If the professor comes, that’s a different story.”
Louise placed her hand in Fu Qingyun’s palm and provocatively scratched it with her finger. Su Ziqin’s eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint. Seeing Louise’s little move, she pulled Fu Qingyun’s hand back.
Louise chuckled, looking at Su Ziqin’s vigilant eyes. “Mrs. Fu, Miss Fu has very beautiful fingers.” She turned and left enchantingly, like a satisfied vampire from a story.
“She’s so freaking perverted,” Su Ziqin said, gritting her teeth. She pinched Fu Qingyun’s cheek. “Don’t you look at her!”
Fu Qingyun held Su Ziqin’s hand that was on her face and said gently, “She’s not pretty.”
The Omegas around them all looked at Su Ziqin with envy… “That Alpha is so gentle.”
“Oh my God, she actually said Louise wasn’t pretty. I’m an Omega, and I’m practically dying to be with her. But this Alpha is so beautiful! Her Omega is also so beautiful! They’re so lucky.”
“How can there be such a good Alpha?”
“She rejected a princess from Country Y, the only double-S-class Omega in the world?”
“They’re so in love.”
“Don’t you know her? She was practically a killer on the financial channel a while ago.”
“Oh my gosh, is she the one from Yunshan?”
“She’s so powerful. She poached the tiger from Jing City Investments. I don’t know what kind of expressions the Qin family had.”
“I don’t know what that young master from the Qin family was thinking, letting Li Zhengyin go to their competitor.”
… Listening to the chattering, the already embarrassed Qin Renfeng’s face became even uglier. He stood up abruptly.
Su Yingying pulled on the corner of his clothes. “Brother Feng?”
“Yingying, I’m going outside to smoke.” For the first time, Qin Renfeng didn’t take care of Su Yingying’s emotions. He left the hall and went to the rooftop.
In just twenty minutes, there were cigarette butts all over the ground around Qin Renfeng’s feet. His thoughts were stuck on the things that had happened recently, and he couldn’t pull himself out.
Ever since Li Zhengyin left, Qin Renfeng had been marginalized by Qin Sihai. He had worked his hardest during this time to secure several excellent projects, recovering some of Hujing’s losses. But Qin Sihai acted as if he didn’t see it and continued to secretly train those illegitimate children.
“Brother Feng,” Su Yingying said, appearing in front of him at some point. She took the unfinished cigarette from Qin Renfeng’s hand and threw it on the ground. “Brother Feng won’t be defeated so easily, right?”
“Yingying, you know about it too?” Qin Renfeng said, feeling a little dejected.
“With the financial news recently, how many people in Jing City don’t know about it?”
Qin Renfeng turned around, rested his elbows on the railing, and looked at the hills in the distance. “Father has probably given up on me.”
“Then have you given up on yourself?” Su Yingying wrapped her arms around Qin Renfeng’s neck, forcing him to look her in the eyes. “Your uncle is angry. What you need to do is to regain his trust. He’s the head of the Qin family, and you’ll be the head of the Qin family in the future.”
“I’m also…” This sounded like a bewitching spell. Qin Renfeng murmured, “That’s right, I’m the head of the Qin family. It can just happen a little earlier…”
Su Yingying leaned into his arms, a sinister smile on her face. Her voice was soft and caring as she said, “I don’t want to see you so unhappy every day, Brother Feng. You’ll be happy in the future, right?”
“Yingying,” Qin Renfeng said, as if he had figured it out. He kissed Su Yingying’s lips hard. “I’ll get back what’s mine. By then, Fu Qingyun and Li Zhengyin will be dogs without a home.”
Su Yingying suppressed the disgust in her heart and smiled sweetly. “I’ll be so happy when Brother Feng gets back on his feet.” Su Yingying was looking forward to seeing Fu Qingyun lose everything. It would be a wonderful process to slowly dirty her white dress.
Since she couldn’t get into the Fu family, she would tear it down. Destroying Fu Qingyun and then getting her would also be a good option.
Night came in a hurry, but it arrived. When they got home, Fu Qingyun unexpectedly received a call from Fu Chenlan.
“It’s early morning in Country Y. Your mother is calling you at this time. Is something wrong?” Su Ziqin led Fu Qingyun to the sofa. “You should answer the phone first.”
Fu Qingyun answered the call. Fu Chenlan’s voice was a little awkward. “Your mom knows.”
“Is she okay?” More than being surprised, Fu Qingyun was worried about her mother’s health.
Fu Chenlan sighed. “She’s fine. It was my fault.”
“It stuck to her forehead,” Fu Qingyun said with certainty. Her mother must have read her wife’s memory and found out that she had returned.
“Stop talking nonsense. Open the door,” Fu Chenlan said and hung up the phone.
Fu Qingyun activated her brain and found two people standing at the door. One of them had a higher brain dimension than her.
“What’s wrong?” Su Ziqin saw that she wasn’t speaking and thought something serious had happened with Fu Chenlan. “Is Mom not well?”
Fu Qingyun shook her head and held Su Ziqin’s hand. “Let’s go. My mom and mother are at the door.”
“Huh?” This was too sudden. Su Ziqin was completely unprepared. She and Fu Qingyun had just gotten home. They didn’t notice anyone behind them.
Fu Qingyun opened the door. Next to Fu Chenlan was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. The woman looked to be less than thirty. Time seemed to have left no marks on her face. Her face was pale, a sign of her long-term illness.
Even in the summer, she was wearing a jacket. A gentle smile was on her small face. Su Ziqin had always thought Fu Chenlan and Fu Qingyun looked very much alike, but when she saw Gu Qingli, she understood what a mother and daughter who look alike were and that some beauties are untouched by time. The fairy’s mother was also a fairy.
“Little Yun’er.” Gu Qingli took Fu Qingyun’s hand. The lost memories played like a movie in Fu Qingyun’s mind.
12138 trembled in her brain. [This family is too scary. The boss’s mom has a brain development of 95%.]
[Hello. You’ve been taking care of little Yun’er since she came back, right? Thank you.] Gu Qingli’s voice sounded in Fu Qingyun’s brain. She could communicate directly with 12138.
12138 proudly shook its data strings. [You’re too kind.] It wasn’t me taking care of the boss; I was forced to.
“Can I borrow little Yun’er for half an hour? Daughter-in-law?” Gu Qingli asked Su Ziqin gently.
The word “daughter-in-law” made Su Ziqin blush a little. She thought it was normal for the mother and daughter to have a lot to talk about after not seeing each other for so long. “Okay… Mom.”
Fu Chenlan pulled Su Ziqin inside. “Let’s go. We haven’t eaten yet. Old Zhao isn’t here, so you must not have cooked. I’ll show you what I can do.”
Su Ziqin was dragged into the kitchen by Fu Chenlan. Fu Qingyun and Gu Qingli sat on the sofa. Fu Qingyun looked at Gu Qingli with concern. “Mom, your heart…”
Gu Qingli shook her head. “Lanlan said you have a way, don’t you? Don’t worry.”
“I don’t understand how Mom’s brain developed to 95%.” Even with her current Alpha body, it would often fall apart uncontrollably, let alone Gu Qingli, who was an Omega.
Gu Qingli looked at the tall figure busy in the kitchen with a smile. “Lanlan’s pheromones are compatible with mine. She can help me stabilize and allow me to have human emotions.”
Gu Qingli then looked at the little girl who was busy next to her Alpha. “My little Yun’er also found a partner like that, didn’t she?”
“I don’t know,” Fu Qingyun said, feeling a little lost. She was like a newborn when it came to this world and her feelings for Su Ziqin.
“Once the brain development reaches 10%, it won’t stop. I was lucky to meet Lanlan at that time. Her double-S-class pheromones could stabilize my body.”
Fu Qingyun was a little surprised. Even with her memories, she never knew her parents’ ranks. “Mother is… then you… are triple-S-class…”
Gu Qingli nodded. “I wasn’t this rank from the start. It was because of the development. I was lucky to be an Omega. An Alpha’s pheromones can help me control it, and I can feel human emotions during my estrus. Slowly, I don’t feel any different from a normal human, but…”
“I’m different, right?” Fu Qingyun’s eyes darkened. After her memories came back, she understood. Her brain had been developing automatically since she was very young. The premature development didn’t allow her to experience human emotions, joys, and sorrows, which was why she was so detached.
“You were too young. I couldn’t help you. I could only trust that person. That person wasn’t from this world and wasn’t controlled by its rules.”
“Rules?” Fu Qingyun thought her mother was talking about the plot. “When did Mom find out?”
“When the substitute started to lose control. She was just a clone without a soul. The rules gave her a false sense of reality. She went into the vortex of the rules and couldn’t get out. I had no choice but to leave Hua Country and stay away from it all.”
Fu Qingyun nodded. Everything made sense now. “She just lived my life for me, but she got mixed up with the rules and did those things.” Fu Qingyun sighed heavily, thinking about the harm the original owner had caused Su Ziqin.
“Little Yun’er, it’s all in the past,” Gu Qingli said, patting her shoulder. “That girl is really your destined person.”
Fu Qingyun looked up at Gu Qingli in confusion, asking with her eyes.
Gu Qingli smiled mysteriously. “The rules gave the substitute the wrong idea. You were supposed to come back at the age of 18 but were trapped in another world by her. This girl’s rebirth broke the rules and brought you back.”
Fu Qingyun’s heart started to beat uncontrollably again. She looked at Su Ziqin’s busy figure and thought about Gu Qingli’s words. Su Ziqin was the most beautiful gift that God had given her in her twenty-five years of life.
