The Disabled Villain Omega Uses Her Riches to Get Close to People (GL) - Chapter 14

? Cannon fodder!

Then the advanced ‘hardware’ definitely wouldn’t be on me. No wonder!

She was about to let out a heavy sigh, lamenting her difficult fate.

But before she could sigh, she heard the teacher on the platform ask, “Is Zhao Xiyin here? Can you please answer this question?”

A silence fell over the lecture hall.

The teacher adjusted his glasses and repeated, “Is student Zhao Xiyin here?”

At this point, Song Li leaned over and whispered, “She’s not here. When I came in, I saw her being picked up by her family.”

Jing Chaocao: “Then she’ll lose at least ten points from her participation grade, right?”

She wondered if Zhao Xiyin had missed any classes before. If so, the worse consequence would be failing the course.

But she had to admit, she didn’t feel as bad anymore.

Compared to being miserable, she actually felt a little relieved by the possibility of someone else being more miserable.

“Yes,” but Song Li was completely unsympathetic; she held grudges.

An A-grade Alpha definitely wouldn’t be afraid of failing!

After watching the spectacle, Song Li asked, “Why were you sighing just now?”

“Was I?” Jing Chaocao was completely unaware.

Song Li nodded firmly. After scrutinizing her, she said, “Yes, your eyebrows were furrowed enough to kill a fly.”

Jing Chaocao: “…”

It was that obvious.

“So, did you argue with your girlfriend?”

Jing Chaocao immediately shook her head: “We didn’t argue. I just ran into something.”

Although she denied it, Song Li had already mentally concluded it was a relationship matter.

Otherwise, it was hard to explain why the other person’s mood was fine before class but suddenly turned miserable afterward.

“Why don’t you tell me about it? I’m known as the ‘Emotional Guru.'”

Song Li didn’t know why she, a single person, had become an emotional guru, but all her friends loved to consult her on relationship problems.

Jing Chaocao was swayed by her title. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “Well, I have a friend…”

Ah, here we go again, the most familiar “I have a friend” segment.

But the key to being a successful emotional guru was that she would absolutely not connect Jing Chaocao with this “friend.”

Song Li nodded seriously: “What problem is your friend facing?”

Jing Chaocao didn’t mention the contract, only saying, “She is an Alpha, but her grade is too low. She might not be able to mark her Omega. What should she do?”

Song Li hissed. She was a Beta and had never thought about such a problem.

But the bond between an Alpha and an Omega was different from that with a Beta.

If the two couldn’t mark each other, it meant the Alpha would have to endure her rut and the Omega her heat all on their own.

A breakup would only be a matter of time.

This is a huge problem!

She instantly understood the reason for Jing Chaocao’s sigh.

If it were her, she would be sighing heavily too!

Song Li also looked concerned. She tentatively asked, “How did your friend find out that she can’t mark her Omega?”

Jing Chaocao’s eyes were full of sorrow: “She already tried. The mark failed in a day.”

Song Li then asked, “Did they encounter any unexpected circumstances?”

Pheromones were too complex. If an accident occurred, a mark failure was common.

Jing Chaocao: “…It seems so.”

She recalled Assistant Lin saying that Chi Wanzhu had been stimulated by unfamiliar Alpha pheromones.

Song Li asked again, “Besides the last mark failure, are there any other symptoms?”

Jing Chaocao: “…No.”

Song Li: “Then how did you—how did your friend suddenly suspect she was marking-incompetent?”

Jing Chaocao: “She happened to see the term.”

Song Li: “…”

Goodness. I thought she was consulting Dr. Google.

Turns out she didn’t even consult Dr. Google and diagnosed herself first.

Falling in love really does lower one’s IQ!

Jing Chaocao felt Song Li’s speechless gaze and coughed. “Because my friend’s Omega is a very high grade.”

She was genuinely worried!

If she was marking-incompetent, she would definitely have to terminate the agreement with Chi Wanzhu.

Song Li couldn’t help but ask, “Does it have to be this specific Omega?”

How did she fall so deeply in love in just a few days!

“Of course!”

This is a big deal involving her job!

Two o’clock in the morning.

In the quiet dorm room, Jing Chaocao had been lying in bed sleeplessly for four hours, all dedicated to pondering the matter of marking incompetence.

According to online sources, hospitals had specialized instruments to test pheromone grades, which could roughly estimate the compatibility between an Alpha and an Omega.

But the most effective method was to observe how long a temporary mark lasted on the Omega.

As for boosting an Alpha’s grade after adulthood, the chances were lower than winning the lottery. That option could be completely ruled out.

Jing Chaocao: “…”

So, after all this deliberation, I still have to ask Chi Wanzhu?!

She sat up in bed, went to the recent calls page, and stared at the number at the very top.

The call record from Chi Wanzhu when she contacted her.

In the pitch-black bedroom, there was only the slight, faint light emanating from the screen.

To ask, or not to ask?

It was as if two chibi figures were arguing in Jing Chaocao’s mind, both trying to pull her to their side.

The red chibi figure said: Of course, you have to ask. Will you be able to sleep tonight if you don’t?!

The blue chibi figure retorted: Do you want to ask the big villain, ‘Are my pheromones strong?’ You won’t survive the conversation, even through the screen.

The red chibi figure scoffed: If marking incompetence is a fact, how can it be hidden from the big villain! Early detection means early treatment.

The blue chibi figure disdainfully asked: How to treat it? With a ‘Ten-Whole-Great-Replenishing Pill’ or an ‘Alpha-Approved Simulated Pheromone’?

“…Wait, hold on,” Jing Chaocao felt something was wrong. Why are they resorting to personal attacks on me!

But admittedly, the reasons from both the red and blue figures were sound.

She was like a tumbleweed, switching sides in her mind with every argument, oscillating back and forth.

If her mind could be a physical entity, she felt she could build a perpetual motion machine that defied physics.

She stared at the eleven-digit phone number until her eyes hurt, and finally lay back down on the bed.

Sleep is the most important thing in the world!

I’ll worry about it tomorrow!

Red team and blue team, banish yourselves!

However, just as she closed her eyes, a “ding-dong” sound signaled a new message.

“…”

She resignedly opened her eyes again, still unable to figure out who would message her at this hour.

Anyone likely to contact her was already in her blacklist.

That left only one possibility.

Why are spam texts still being sent at two in the morning?!

Jing Chaocao slid to unlock her phone, casually dismissed the notification screen, and turned over to try and sleep again.

But the moment she turned over, she felt the number that flashed across her screen looked familiar.

Jing Chaocao strained her memory. One thought flashed through her mind: No way.

She hastily retrieved the message from the trash folder. Upon seeing the familiar number, she shot up instantly.

Her fluid movement was a textbook example of a sit-up.

If not for the limited space, she felt she could even demonstrate a perfect 800-meter run.

She had been staring at the big villain’s number during her earlier internal debate and had already memorized it.

Therefore, she was certain: Why would Chi Wanzhu text me at two in the morning?!

Is it possible that the mark has failed now?!

Jing Chaocao’s heart suddenly sank a little.

She opened the message with a slightly trembling hand, simultaneously closing one eye.

Until she confirmed whether it was good news or bad news, she would not open the other eye!

【17**: Do you have time recently?】

After Chi Wanzhu returned from the banquet, she had intended to contact Jing Chaocao immediately to ask for her availability.

But the overseas branch suddenly ran into some problems, requiring an impromptu international conference. It was two o’clock in the morning when it ended.

A phone call was inappropriate, so she decided to send a text message, allowing the other person to reply at their convenience.

She hadn’t expected to receive a reply the moment she sent the message.

【Jing Chaocao: I’m free this weekend. I have classes on weekdays, but I can take time off.】

When the message popped up, Chi Wanzhu’s finger paused.

She looked out the window. The night was deep and quiet, as if only the two of them existed.

The inhibition patch had been removed after returning to the villa. The faint scent of Cognac Brandy lingered around her neck.

It seemed to be searching for something.

The white light of the study lamp fell on the bridge of her nose, the shadow dividing her exquisite profile.

【17**: Why are you awake so late?】

Jing Chaocao felt Chi Wanzhu wouldn’t text her at two in the morning just to chat.

It must be something important, or a situation where she was needed.

But upon reflection, Chi Wanzhu only needed her when her pheromones were in disorder.

Jing Chaocao’s recently steady heart splatted to the floor, shattering into pieces.

No way!

It hasn’t even been a day since the last mark!

Am I really marking-incompetent?

【Jing Chaocao: I have a bit of insomnia, so I’ve been up until now.】

As for the reason for her sleeplessness, she felt Chi Wanzhu would soon find out.

【Jing Chaocao: President Chi, is something the matter so late?】

She began to deeply question her life, feeling all her strength drain away as she typed.

But in the back of her mind, she held onto a glimmer of hope.

What if Chi Wanzhu suddenly craved her cooking in the middle of the night?

Or what if the other person suddenly became interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine and asked her a question?

It doesn’t have to be a temporary mark!

Chi Wanzhu had only asked casually and didn’t dwell on the question.

【17**: I need to go to the hospital this week. I was asking for a time that works for you.】

Jing Chaocao’s newly constructed psychological defense immediately collapsed, and she closed both eyes.

【Jing Chaocao: Do I… need to go too?】

If she weren’t worried about disturbing the neighbors in the middle of the night, she felt she would burst out crying right away.

She performed another sit-up, pulled the blanket over her head, and couldn’t help but complain.

Is having a low grade already considered an illness? Does it require a hospital visit!

【17**: Yes, we need to test both of our pheromones simultaneously. If this week isn’t convenient, we can schedule another time.】

Upon seeing this message, Jing Chaocao accepted the reality.

Chi Wanzhu probably already knew about her marking incompetence.

However, since the agreement had been signed and couldn’t be easily terminated, they needed to go to the hospital.

After all, as the B-party, she definitely had to meet Chi Wanzhu’s requirements for the agreement to remain valid.

If they could prove that her grade was too low to complete the mark, it would naturally prove the agreement was void.

She might as well go to the hospital early so as not to delay Chi Wanzhu finding her next Alpha.

【Jing Chaocao: Okay, I’m free this Sunday.】

【Jing Chaocao: If possible, would President Chi mind if I bring some tofu and noodles?】

If anyone mocked her, she could hit her head against the tofu or hang herself with the noodles.

Chi Wanzhu, unaware of the reason behind the last request, paused slightly.

Although she didn’t understand, she respected it.

【17**: You may.】
