After Transmigrating Into An Eighteenth-Tier Alpha, I Married The Best Actress - Chapter 7
The alley was extremely dark, and a different sort of atmosphere permeated the air.
It was as if a fight would break out in the next second.
Ji Jingrong’s phone had been in her hand the whole time. Just then, a notification happened to light up the screen.
That bit of light was no different from a life-saving straw to Yin Lingzhu.
Seizing this chance, she suddenly kicked Big Brother in front of her in the abdomen. This kick used one hundred percent of her strength.
The power of an S-rank Alpha was not to be underestimated.
Big Brother was unprepared and was kicked straight to the ground. He clutched his stomach and leaned against the wall, unable to get up for a long time.
When the younger lackey heard the sound, he weighed the pros and cons.
Then he directly turned on his flashlight, picked up a stick, and swung it at Ji Jingrong.
Yin Lingzhu saw it too, but she did not have time to push Ji Jingrong away. She could only use her own body to block in front of her.
That stick had been sitting in the alley for a long time. Yin Lingzhu felt a sharp, intense pain in her arm, and the wood snapped outright.
The lackey had not expected this scene either. He threw down the stick and tried to run.
The instant he turned around, Yin Lingzhu quickly kicked him in the back of the knee, and the lackey dropped to his knees just like that.
She dragged the lackey to Big Brother’s side and made the two of them lean together.
After Yin Lingzhu finished all this, she turned to check on Ji Jingrong.
She discovered that Ji Jingrong was still maintaining her previous posture, as if she had not reacted yet, standing there blankly in place.
Yin Lingzhu waved a hand in front of Ji Jingrong to check on her condition.
Ji Jingrong suddenly came back to herself, and the first thing she saw was a slender, fair hand waving before her eyes.
From their earlier conversation, she could roughly guess what had happened.
Ji Jingrong asked Yin Lingzhu what they should do.
Yin Lingzhu thought for a moment, then took out her phone and called the police.
When the police arrived, they took all four of them to the police station together.
The two brothers were detained.
Yin Lingzhu and Ji Jingrong simply gave their statements and were released.
The two of them hailed a taxi. After what had happened tonight, neither of them had any mood to buy groceries anymore.
When they reached the entrance of the apartment, Yin Lingzhu said goodbye to Ji Jingrong and was about to return to her own apartment, but Ji Jingrong stopped her.
Ji Jingrong pointed at Yin Lingzhu’s arm. “You should still get your arm treated. I have medical supplies.”
Only then did Yin Lingzhu notice that a red-purple injury stretched from the outside of her forearm to her deltoid.
The injured area was on the outside, making it difficult for her to treat alone. If she left it alone, it would probably interfere with her learning how to cook.
Thinking this, Yin Lingzhu nodded and agreed to Ji Jingrong’s suggestion.
When Yin Lingzhu entered Ji Jingrong’s apartment, she found that the room was filled with all kinds of small objects, all in a cute style.
“Lawyer Ji, do you like these things a lot?” Yin Lingzhu picked up a small figurine. It was a little cat hugging its chest and ignoring people.
Hearing Yin Lingzhu’s question, Ji Jingrong silently blushed. “Yes. I’ve liked these things since I was little. I only started buying them after I began working.”
As she spoke, Ji Jingrong found bandages and alcohol for dressing the wound. She pressed Yin Lingzhu down onto the sofa.
She dipped a cotton swab in alcohol and applied it to Yin Lingzhu’s wound.
Yin Lingzhu did not dare move. While the alcohol disinfected the wound, it also brought an immense stinging pain.
She could only do her best to ignore the feeling. In a daze, she thought of Yan Si.
She recalled the amazement she had felt the first time she saw Yan Si, as well as the way her heart had pounded then.
“Done.”
Ji Jingrong’s voice rang out, pulling Yin Lingzhu back to reality.
Yin Lingzhu saw that her arm had actually been wrapped in bandages.
“Your main injury is on your triceps. It’s very serious.” Following Yin Lingzhu’s gaze, Ji Jingrong guessed what she was thinking and spoke in advance.
“Tomorrow, you can come to me to change the dressing, or you can go to the hospital,” Ji Jingrong said as she packed up the medical kit.
“Then I’ll have to trouble Lawyer Ji,” Yin Lingzhu said politely.
She was about to return to her own apartment when she suddenly thought of something.
“Lawyer Ji, what gender are you?” Yin Lingzhu knew she was asking something very impolite.
But the book said that married people had to keep a certain distance from the opposite sex.
She was afraid Yan Si would be unhappy about her getting too close to someone else.
Ji Jingrong’s movements paused. “I’m a Beta.”
Hearing this answer, Yin Lingzhu let out a breath of relief. As long as she was not an Omega, that was good.
“Then sleep early. I hope you have a good dream.” Yin Lingzhu waved at Ji Jingrong and gently closed the door.
Ji Jingrong held the medical kit and did not come back to herself for a long time.
After returning to her own apartment, Yin Lingzhu prepared to take the ingredients she had bought yesterday and continue learning how to cook by following tutorials.
Meanwhile, Yan Si was at You Xiaoxiao’s home.
You Xiaoxiao handed the photos in her hand to Yan Si. They showed Yin Lingzhu going to the company at night.
“She’s planning to terminate her contract with her original company. There might even be a lawsuit,” You Xiaoxiao said, tapping Yin Lingzhu in the photo.
“Take this chance to sign her into your company.”
Yan Si did not understand You Xiaoxiao’s suggestion, and she asked directly.
“There doesn’t seem to be any benefit. Yin Lingzhu can’t bring any profit to the company.” Yan Si’s tone was淡, rationally analyzing the gains and losses.
“If you keep her under your nose, you can feel at ease. And if she fails to obey the contract, you can deal with it as early as possible.” You Xiaoxiao still did not trust Yin Lingzhu.
“Fine. I have a contract in my apartment too. I’ll have her sign it tonight.” Seemingly persuaded by You Xiaoxiao, Yan Si agreed.
Just after Yin Lingzhu finished making dinner, she heard the sound of the door opening. She looked over, and sure enough, Yan Si had come back.
Yin Lingzhu brought the dishes she had made to the table and was about to call Yan Si over to eat.
But Yan Si acted as if she had not seen them and walked straight back to her bedroom.
When Yan Si came out again, Yin Lingzhu saw that she was holding a contract.
“Sign it.” Yin Lingzhu heard Yan Si’s voice say.
Yin Lingzhu obediently walked over and signed her name in the blank space of the contract.
After she finished writing, she had originally wanted to ask Yan Si to eat at the table.
But seeing that Yan Si did not seem to have any intention of staying, and that Yan Si had already picked up the contract and was about to leave, Yin Lingzhu did not say anything else.
When she heard the sound of Yan Si closing the door, she slumped onto the sofa, her heart filling with a wave of sour bitterness.
Yin Lingzhu tilted her head and saw the bandage on her arm. She felt that the pain caused by the alcohol earlier was not even worth mentioning compared with the heartache she felt now.
She looked at her hands again. There were obvious little spots from where hot oil had splattered them, ruining the fair backs of her hands just like that.
In front of Yan Si, Yin Lingzhu simply could not become confident. It was completely different from her true personality.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye. Eleven months later.
Yin Lingzhu was petting the fold-eared cat in her arms, her heart full of worry.
Knock—knock.
The sound of knocking rang out. Yin Lingzhu knew it was Ji Jingrong, so she got up to open the door for her.
“What’s wrong with you?” Seeing a face full of worry, Ji Jingrong could not help asking.
She stroked the cat in Yin Lingzhu’s arms once, already having the answer in her heart. “It’s still because of your wife.”
“Mm. She hasn’t come in a long time.” Yin Lingzhu’s voice was muffled.
“Why did you come looking for me? Why didn’t you send me a message?” Seeing the person standing in front of her, Yin Lingzhu suddenly thought of this question.
Ji Jingrong glanced at her and spoke helplessly. “I sent you messages and called you. You didn’t respond at all.”
Only then did Yin Lingzhu remember that she had muted her phone.
“Then what did you come to find me for?”
Ji Jingrong took the cat into her arms. “Its doctor. I went through a lot of effort to make an appointment.”
“Let’s talk in my apartment.” Ji Jingrong sighed.
Even though it had been almost a year, she had still never entered Yin Lingzhu’s apartment.
The two spent the whole afternoon discussing things in Ji Jingrong’s apartment, while the cat spent the whole afternoon bouncing around the room.
“Then it’s settled. We’ll take Tiantian for treatment tomorrow night.” Ji Jingrong’s voice carried worry.
“I really don’t know what your wife was thinking. She gave you a Ragdoll. Doesn’t she know how fragile Ragdoll cats are?”
Hearing her words, Yin Lingzhu frowned, but did not speak. She could not find anything to refute it with.
“It’s fine. She’s very busy. Maybe she just happened not to know.” Yin Lingzhu forced a smile and found an excuse for Yan Si.
Ji Jingrong rolled her eyes at her. “You, honestly. I really don’t know what kind of person has you so bewitched.”
Yin Lingzhu had only said that she was married. She had not said who she was married to.
