The Disabled Villain Omega Uses Her Riches to Get Close to People (GL) - Chapter 5
Assistant Lin drove Jing Chaocao to the school gate. “Miss Jing, I will wait for you here at nine tomorrow morning.”
Jing Chaocao remembered Chi Wanzhu’s instructions; she was scheduled to get their marriage certificate tomorrow morning.
She nodded, said goodbye to Assistant Lin, and walked into the school.
Z University is the best university in Jiang City, ranking among the top schools nationwide. Countless successful entrepreneurs, well-known scholars, and political figures have graduated from Z University.
The annual alumni donations are a massive sum, so the school buildings are particularly grand. The distance from the school gate to the dormitory is quite long.
Jing Chaocao wasn’t in a hurry. According to the original owner’s memory, an elective course she was supposed to attend had already started.
Since she was already late, she decided not to try and salvage the class and planned to head straight back to the dorm.
After all, novels always revolve around the protagonists. Even Chi Wanzhu, as the biggest villain in the book, was only described when her presence was necessary.
As for Jing Chaocao, the plot threads involving her were even fewer.
Fortunately, she inherited the memories, knowing the original owner’s basic situation and even the class schedule clearly, so she wasn’t completely clueless.
However, thinking of this, Jing Chaocao suddenly paused her steps.
She lowered her head and rolled up her sleeve, looking at the crook of her forearm.
There was a faint scar there.
Jing Chaocao had lived in an orphanage since she could remember.
But she was naturally optimistic and content with her life. Not only did she have food every day, but the orphanage director, “Mother Garden,” would also buy them new clothes.
As a result, Jing Chaocao had a good personality, and she didn’t miss out on the mischief that children should have.
Once, when she climbed a tree, the branch she grabbed broke because it was autumn and the wood was brittle. It couldn’t support her weight.
With a “crack,” the branch broke, and she fell from the tree. A long scratch was left on her forearm by the rough branch.
Her whole arm was covered in blood at the time, which terrified the director.
Fortunately, the injury only looked worse than it was and wasn’t serious, though it left this scar.
But this detail was too old; she had never told her best friend about it.
It was also impossible for the original novel to include the backstory of her cannon fodder character.
Excluding all impossibilities, the only plausible explanation was that this body was originally her own.
Transmigrating into the novel, she naturally adapted to the rules of the ABO world and became an Alpha?
Jing Chaocao noted this conjecture down, intending to verify it later.
Seeing the dormitory building, she went upstairs according to her memory and opened the dorm room door with her key.
As she pushed it open, she was greeted by several pairs of scrutinizing eyes.
Z University has four-person dormitories, segregated by primary and secondary sex.
Omegas are allocated separately, and their dorm building is diagonal to the others to prevent accidents to the maximum extent.
The remaining Alpha and Beta allocations are more casual, with mixed residency sometimes occurring.
Jing Chaocao’s dorm had two other Alphas and one Beta besides herself.
The original owner had kept her compatibility test a secret from her dorm mates.
So, when Jing Chaocao didn’t attend class today, they only assumed she had other things to do.
After all, which university student doesn’t skip a few classes?
Seeing her return, Song Li, a Beta, was the first to speak. “You’re back! Old Man Zhang’s class didn’t take attendance just now, so don’t worry!”
Song Li was the closest to the original owner in the dorm.
Jing Chaocao nodded and smiled. “Good, thank you.”
But Song Li, who couldn’t smell Jing Chaocao’s changes, didn’t mean the other two Alphas couldn’t.
Jing Chaocao had just taken off the bag she was carrying when she heard Zhao Xiyin ask her, “Where have you been? Why do you smell like an Omega?”
Alphas are very sensitive to the smell of pheromones, not to mention that the scent Jing Chaocao carried was that of an Omega.
“Is it very obvious?” Jing Chaocao turned her head and sniffed herself. She didn’t smell anything.
She had specifically sprayed an inhibition spray for quite a while on her way back.
Lu Nan, who was reading a book nearby, saw Jing Chaocao pull out the spray bottle, ready to continue, and stopped her. “It’s not very obvious.”
Zhao Xiyin often looked for faults and exaggerated things.
If it were truly “reeking of Omega,” they would have long since been running out the door, holding their noses.
Jing Chaocao: “…”
I was worried that my sense of smell was broken.
However, her lack of denial only made the others more curious.
Song Li, who had been eating, paused her hand and asked, “So, Chaocao, did you really go to see an Omega?”
Zhao Xiyin was still looking at her newly bought bracelet. Without raising her head, she said carelessly, “She probably accidentally bumped into an Omega outside? Can Jing Chaocao even find an Omega?”
Jing Chaocao hadn’t even refuted yet, but Song Li couldn’t help but snap back first: “What’s wrong with Chaocao having an Omega? She’s pretty and has a good temper. Isn’t it only natural for her to have a girlfriend?”
“Besides, who in this dorm isn’t single? Where do you get your confidence from?”
Perhaps because Zhao Xiyin caused too much trouble in the dorm usually, Song Li lost her temper, her voice rising slightly.
“Where do I get my confidence?” Zhao Xiyin slapped the bracelet onto the desk with a smack and sneered: “One Beta, one B-class Alpha, and one bookworm—can’t I have a little confidence?”
Song Li was the Beta, B-class referred to Jing Chaocao, and the bookworm was Lu Nan.
In one sentence, she insulted all three people in the dorm.
Of course, these were her true feelings. She looked down on her dorm mates from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Xiyin’s family background was good, and she had performed exceptionally well in the college entrance exam to get into Z University.
She was already spoiled like a little princess by her family. Once she got to school, she had many Omegas pursuing her, making her feel superior.
But no one in the dorm was willing to flatter her.
“What’s wrong with being a Beta?” Song Li completely failed to understand where this gender discrimination came from.
“Did Betas eat your rice? Last time, when you were in your rut, it was a Beta who got you the inhibitor!”
An Alpha’s rut not only induces Omega pheromone leakage but also affects other Alphas, causing them to fight over territory and stimulate each other.
Therefore, seeking a Beta’s help was the safest option.
Last time, when Zhao Xiyin had a sudden rut in the dorm, she groggily sent a text in the dorm group, and Song Li helped her buy the inhibitor.
Zhao Xiyin retorted, “Didn’t I transfer you the money then? It’s not my fault you didn’t take it!”
She clearly didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she had just said.
“…” Song Li felt she was too kind. She rolled her eyes and said, “I should have just let you suffer longer.”
“Don’t be angry,” Jing Chaocao patted Song Li.
She didn’t want to continue the discussion about “girlfriends.” Changing the subject, she said to Zhao Xiyin, “Your bracelet might be broken.”
She had wanted to warn her earlier, but the two of them kept talking, giving her no chance to interject.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiyin, who was about to continue arguing, immediately looked at her bracelet.
She had just asked her sister to buy this from abroad. It was a limited edition and couldn’t be broken!
But contrary to her hopes, Zhao Xiyin had been too angry just now, and the small diamond had perfectly caught on the connection point of the bracelet, snapping the otherwise durable piece.
“…”
Now, no matter how distressed or angry Zhao Xiyin was, she couldn’t find anyone to vent her anger at. She could only pull her chair down heavily and sit.
The sound was so loud that the people in the dorm downstairs would likely complain to the dorm supervisor.
“Alphas sure are strong; I’m jealous!” Song Li added insult to injury.
If Zhao Xiyin’s gaze could kill, Song Li would have been sliced into a thousand pieces by now.
But it had to be said that this single comment made both Jing Chaocao and Lu Nan unable to hold back a smile.
It was satisfying indeed.
With the bracelet broken, Zhao Xiyin first tried to mend it herself.
But she had no experience with such things and could only turn to message her sister, asking for a solution.
【Zhao Xihuai: Didn’t I just buy it for you? How is it broken already?】
Zhao Xiyin pursed her lips. She didn’t dare say she broke it herself, only saying that the item might not have been sturdy and broke while she wore it.
【Zhao Xihuai: Fine. Bring it to me when you come home for break. I’ll help you fix it next time I go abroad.】
After dealing with the bracelet, Zhao Xiyin remembered that her sister was supposed to see President Chi today.
【Zhao Xiyin: Did you see President Chi today? There shouldn’t have been any problem, right?】
Their entire family attached great importance to this matter and had scouted the other candidates beforehand.
Considering both pheromone compatibility and company interests, Chi Wanzhu would surely choose their Zhao family.
【Zhao Xihuai: Don’t even mention it. I didn’t even get to see her face. Chi Wanzhu is more arrogant than we thought.】
【Zhao Xihuai: And she chose a university student. Will her family agree?】
Zhao Xiyin saw these two messages, each one surprising her. She sent back: 【University student? How do you know?】
After returning home from the hotel, Zhao Xihuai first changed out of the red dress and high heels she had carefully chosen for the day.
Seeing her sister’s message, she snorted, recalling the scene when the assistant announced that No. 28 should stay.
【Zhao Xihuai: Her backpack still had a school badge on it. It actually looked a lot like your school’s badge.】
Seeing this message, Zhao Xiyin instinctively remembered something.
She was buried in her phone but turned her head to look at Jing Chaocao’s spot opposite her.
The backpack was casually hung on the chair. It was given to every student during Z University’s centennial celebration last year.
Near the upper right corner, it indeed had their school badge.
However, after receiving it, Zhao Xiyin had deemed it unfashionable and had thrown it into a corner to gather dust long ago.
Only Jing Chaocao had been extremely happy, cheerfully thanking the school for saving her fifty yuan.
It must be a coincidence.
Zhao Xiyin thought.
Jing Chaocao, on the other hand, didn’t notice Zhao Xiyin’s gaze.
The original owner’s experience was similar to hers: childhood in an orphanage, relying on government subsidies until college.
So, her living conditions weren’t good, and she often worked part-time outside of school in her spare time.
This might be why she chose to get tested for compatibility with Chi Wanzhu.
However, greed knows no bounds. The original owner, who could have steadily received money according to the original plot, chose instead to take risks.
Of course, Jing Chaocao felt that was only one part of the reason.
The bigger reason, she thought, was that her best friend couldn’t advance the plot without it and needed a piece of cannon fodder to push the story forward.
Chi Wanzhu almost acquired the protagonist’s company later, so someone definitely needed to trip her up.
“…”
She wondered what would happen to her original world now that she had transmigrated.
Her good best friend must remember to burn her plenty of hell money!
Jing Chaocao took out the items from her backpack, leaving only the clothes she had changed out of inside.
Then, she took the entire backpack into the bathroom.
Although Zhao Xiyin’s intention just now was to pick a fight, she had inadvertently alerted Jing Chaocao.
She had stuffed the clothes she changed out of into the backpack, and they were fully saturated with her and Chi Wanzhu’s pheromones.
If she had taken them out in front of everyone, something might have really gone wrong.
She planned to soak both the clothes and the backpack with laundry detergent to thoroughly eliminate the pheromones.
She got a basin and filled it with water. But as she took out the first piece of clothing, Jing Chaocao sensed something was off.
A white shirt.
Jing Chaocao’s hand paused.
Not giving up, she continued to take clothes out of the backpack.
A removed brooch, suit pants…
Jing Chaocao abruptly closed the backpack.
“…”
The suspended heart finally died.
An hour ago.
Both of them finished changing and put the changed clothes into paper bags.
When Jing Chaocao carried Chi Wanzhu out, she was simultaneously carrying two paper bags containing the clothes.
But the two bags were almost identical. Such a small matter naturally wouldn’t trouble Chi Wanzhu.
She naturally handed one of the paper bags to the driver waiting opposite.
She put the remaining paper bag into her backpack for convenience and didn’t take it out until now.
Jing Chaocao looked at the clothes in her hand and felt they were burning hot.
To wash or not to wash, that was the question.
Should she call the assistant? Or wash them clean and send them over?
Or maybe just throw them away? President Chi shouldn’t be lacking one set of clothes, right?
However, Jing Chaocao immediately rejected the last thought.
Chi Wanzhu might not be short of one set of clothes, but she felt that if Chi Wanzhu found out her clothes were thrown away, her own fate might not be so pleasant.
Jing Chaocao hadn’t made up her mind yet when she heard Song Li knocking on the bathroom door. “Chaocao, are you in there? Are you done?”
She looked at the clothes in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and still tossed them into the basin.
As for the two pieces of underwear she hadn’t taken out, she put them into a separate basin.
After pouring in laundry detergent and spraying air freshener, Jing Chaocao said, “Okay, you can come in.”
She finished speaking, opened the door, and let Song Li in.
The other person came in and saw the clothes soaking in the basin. She asked, “You’re doing laundry?”
Jing Chaocao didn’t know why the other person was in a hurry to come in but was now unhurriedly chatting with her.
But she still nodded, answering the question: “Yes.”
Who knew that after she answered, Song Li looked knowing and asked in a quiet, teasing voice, “Your girlfriend’s?”
When Jing Chaocao first returned, she noticed that she had changed clothes.
But her attention was diverted by Zhao Xiyin at the time, and she only remembered to ask now.
Since they were talking in the bathroom, she didn’t have to worry about anyone else hearing.
Of course, this “anyone else” specifically referred to Zhao Xiyin.
Jing Chaocao: “…No.”
Song Li didn’t speak but just pointed at the brooch that hadn’t been put away yet, then looked at Jing Chaocao.
“…”
Jing Chaocao was silent for two seconds, opened her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
Song Li then smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret!”
