Pair A? No Thanks! [Transmigration] - Chapter 24.1

Shi Ning…

Jiang Ningran looked up at the knowing, in-control expression on her face, the expression that seemed to have a grip on everything, and she felt a sense of suffocation. It was as if thousands of hands were scratching at her from inside her chest, wanting to burst out and scream, wanting to vent all their anger and hatred. A million demons from hell lived in her heart, seeking revenge and possession.

She hated this woman.

She hated the woman in front of her.

She hated how she always looked indifferent, how she was so nonchalant about everything, how she could laugh and talk easily with anyone, and yet effortlessly had everything Jiang Ningran wanted.

The genes of a top Alpha, immense wealth, a status that even the Su family had to bow to, and also, Su Wanxing.

Shi Ning was not like her. She didn’t have to hide her Alpha identity because of a fortuneteller’s words and live as an Omega. She had always felt humiliated and resentful. Every time she saw Su Wanxing’s heart flutter with girlish feelings for other Alphas, she felt a deep resentment.

Why?

She was an Alpha too. Why didn’t Su Wanxing look at her?

When she thought of all the things that happened later, the pain of having her love stolen, Jiang Ningran’s face completely twisted in rage.

“You don’t know anything.” Jiang Ningran glared at Shi Ning. “You don’t know anything.”

“Really?” The certainty in Shi Ning’s eyes was clear. “The way you’re looking at me, I’d think I hit a nerve and you’re lashing out in a fit of pique.”

“Jiang Ningran,” Shi Ning said airily, her voice like a spring rain, very faint, but what fell with the rain were not nourishing drops of water, but stones, one by one. These stones, with every word Shi Ning spoke, crashed down hard into Jiang Ningran’s dirty heart.

She said: “With your understanding of Su Wanxing, you must have known she always carries a suppressor with her. And at that time, Su Wanxing was completely unguarded around you, thinking you were an Omega, which is why she agreed to sleep in the same tent as you. You had planned all of this.”

“Similarly, because you were such good friends, she probably wasn’t on guard when you used her things. You could freely share anything with her, go through her bag, or use her water bottle.”

“Therefore, Jiang Ningran, I have every reason to suspect and deduce…” Shi Ning’s tone changed. “…that you also drugged Su Wanxing that day, didn’t you? You see, you can only get what you want through such means. You are a coward. You don’t even have the courage to ask Su Wanxing if she’s willing. You can only drug her and use that method to do what you want.”

“Jiang Ningran, I really look down on you.”

Seeing Shi Ning’s contemptuous eyes, Jiang Ningran screamed frantically, “I didn’t!! I didn’t!!”

“I won’t allow you to say that about me!!” Jiang Ningran bared her teeth like a zombie trying to bite Shi Ning, but Shi Ning didn’t care.

She had already seen through it. What Jiang Ningran couldn’t stand the most was being looked down on.

Sure enough, with that one provocation, Jiang Ningran confessed everything. She was now desperate to prove that the time in the tent was Su Wanxing’s fault.

As Jiang Ningran spoke, her neck turned red. She screamed, “I didn’t drug her. I didn’t drug her. That day, that day I just hid her suppressor. She herself! She went into heat herself! She couldn’t control herself, she begged me for it. So it’s all her fault, and I, I just went with the flow. She wanted it, and I gave it to her. Did I do anything wrong?”

Jiang Ningran’s eyes were bloodshot. She stared at Shi Ning, “What about you, Shi Ning? What about you? If an Omega went into heat and begged you to have s3x with her, would you be able to hold back?”

Shi Ning’s lips curled into a slight smile: “Jiang Ningran, I am not like you.”

“Besides, in that situation, with you deliberately taking away her suppressor, what other choice did Su Wanxing have? Did you deceive her by saying Omegas could also solve heat cycles and then seize the opportunity to mark her?”

Shi Ning’s eyes were like torches, seeing through all the truth.

Jiang Ningran was sweating profusely, terrified. She didn’t understand. Why could Shi Ning, who wasn’t even there, know everything? What was going on?

Jiang Ningran: “I—”

“Enough!” Su Wanxing screamed. Her head was splitting, and she felt like someone had taken a knife and cut her in half from the top of her head. She was in so much pain that she wanted to vomit when she heard Jiang Ningran speak. Her voice made her feel sick, and seeing her made her want to gouge out her own eyes.

If only, if only she wasn’t an Omega.

Su Wanxing thought. If she weren’t an Omega, she wouldn’t have a heat cycle. And she wouldn’t have given Jiang Ningran an opportunity.

But she was born an Omega. A weak, helpless Omega who would always be bullied. Why? Was it possible for Omegas to live a different life in this world? A life not restricted by a heat cycle, a life with more freedom.

Su Wanxing couldn’t find an answer.

Her heart clenched tightly. She lowered her head and spoke in a hoarse voice: “Jiang Ningran, get out. I never want to see you again.”

Jiang Ningran crawled toward Su Wanxing. “Su Wanxing, Wanxing, don’t listen to her. We were both willing, you agreed. I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Su Wanxing screamed reflexively: “Don’t come near me!”

“Don’t come near me!” Su Wanxing was shaking all over. She got up, wanting to leave.

Shi Ning knew that Su Wanxing was in a state of shock, couldn’t control her emotions, and chose to temporarily escape. This was a good way to rest. But she was a little afraid that Su Wanxing would have an accident alone, so she reached out and grabbed her as Su Wanxing passed by.

With that light touch, Su Wanxing trembled.

She reflexively swung Shi Ning’s hand away. “Don’t touch me!” She hugged herself, her arms wrapped around her chest, and her clothes were wet with tears. “Don’t touch me.”

Su Wanxing looked like a desperate little animal that had been tormented. She couldn’t find hope, so she could only hold on tightly to herself. She couldn’t trust anyone else in this world anymore.

Seeing this, Shi Ning raised her hands high, showing her attitude. “Su Wanxing, I won’t touch you. I’m Shi Ning. Can you still hear my voice? How about this, you go back to your room and rest, okay? But promise me, don’t lock the door. Give me the key to the room.”

Su Wanxing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After settling Su Wanxing, Shi Ning looked at Jiang Ningran and walked toward her step by step.

Jiang Ningran was already afraid of being beaten. She nervously shrunk her neck and wiggled on the ground like a maggot.

Shi Ning took a pair of scissors from the coffee table. With a slight movement of her fingers, the sharp blades clapped together, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Ningran kept trying to back away, trembling with fear. “You, what are you trying to do? Shi Ning, I’m warning you, my Jiang family won’t let you get away with this.”

“What you’re doing, it’s illegal!”

Hearing her words, Shi Ning let out a silent laugh, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

“You’re talking to me about the law?” Shi Ning squatted down, the scissors lightly brushing against Jiang Ningran’s cheek, then tapping on it, one after another, in rhythm with her words. “Everything you’ve done is illegal.”

The cold metal hitting her cheek, Jiang Ningran could see the sharp tip of the scissors flickering constantly under her eyelids. It was as if in the next second, with one lunge from Shi Ning, the scissors could stab directly into her eyeball and make it explode.

At the thought of this, Jiang Ningran felt a pang of pain.

She fearfully shrunk her neck.

“What do you want?” Jiang Ningran said, trying to stand her ground. “I’m telling you, Shi Ning, even if you sue me, you might not win. Do you have evidence to prove that I raped Su Wanxing?”

“Do you?”

Shi Ning’s scissors flickered, a flash of silver light, and Jiang Ningran instinctively closed her eyes. However, in the fear-filled darkness, she heard Shi Ning’s light chuckle: “You’re a coward.”

Snip.

Shi Ning cut off a lock of Jiang Ningran’s hair. “Jiang Ningran, don’t you know that the coffee shop you chose and the hotel you stayed at both belong to me?”

Hearing this, Jiang Ningran suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a look of disbelief.

But she quickly composed herself.

“So what? Even if you have all the surveillance footage, Shi Ning, you don’t have direct evidence. Su Wanxing and I have known each other for so many years. What do you think people will think when they hear about this? A consensual relationship. Shi Ning, you’re not as sure of victory as you think you are, so don’t look at me like that.”

Shi Ning smiled: “Jiang Ningran, do you think your plan was flawless?”

“Do you think you avoided all the surveillance?”

“I’m telling you, as long as I, Shi Ning, am here, this isn’t over.” Shi Ning leaned in, the scissors flickered, and with a snip, the belt tying Jiang Ningran’s wrists broke. The limited edition belt was ridiculously expensive, but Shi Ning cut it without a second thought.

Shi Ning threw the belt into the trash can.

“Su Wanxing said she doesn’t want to see you. Please leave the Su family’s home. Also, I suggest you don’t go anywhere for a while. Otherwise, Jiang Ningran, I’m worried that a court summons will be sent directly to your parents’ hands.”

At the mention of her parents, a hint of fear flashed in Jiang Ningran’s eyes.

Shi Ning laughed at her: “You’re a grown-up, but you’re still afraid of your parents.”

Although she said that, Shi Ning knew that Jiang Ningran’s parents were not good people either. One was an abuser, and the other cheated. They had extremely high expectations of Jiang Ningran. Shi Ning deliberately said this to provoke Jiang Ningran.

Jiang Ningran pursed her lips and said nothing. She stood up and still tried to throw a punch at Shi Ning, but Shi Ning’s large hand caught her fist. Shi Ning turned her hand, and with a crack, she broke Jiang Ningran’s right wrist.

“I told you, don’t mess with me.”

Jiang Ningran was completely terrified.

The woman in front of her was like a leopard. On a normal day, she seemed carefree and lazy, just wandering around the savanna. But when prey truly appeared, the leopard would quickly pounce, and with a single bite to the side of the neck, it would hit its mark.

Jiang Ningran was unwilling, but she could only turn and leave. Just as she reached the door, Shi Ning picked up a still-damp piece of clothing and threw it at her.

It hit Jiang Ningran right on the head.

“Take off the clothes you’re wearing,” Shi Ning said irritably.

She had never even worn Su Tianxue’s clothes, so why should this person get to wear them?

“Three seconds. Take them off.”

Jiang Ningran gritted her teeth and humiliatingly took off the clothes.

Su Tianxue had given her the clothes this morning because Jiang Ningran had gotten her shirt dirty during breakfast. Su Tianxue had put it in the washing machine and, seeing that she had nothing to wear and that Su Wanxing was still asleep, had given her one of her own shirts.

Shi Ning could tell at a glance because it was the same shirt Su Tianxue wore when she and Shi Ning first met.

She had been bothered by Jiang Ningran wearing it for a long time.

Jiang Ningran had no choice but to take off her clothes in front of Shi Ning and put on her own dirty, wet clothes. After she changed, she still wouldn’t give up and secretly glanced at Su Wanxing’s door.

Shi Ning blocked her.

“You can get out now.”

Jiang Ningran clenched her fists and walked out. Shi Ning called out to her again: “Wait.”

Jiang Ningran suppressed her frustration but had to bow her head to Shi Ning. “What?”

“Jiang Ningran, Su Wanxing told you to get out, not to walk out.” Shi Ning tilted her head slightly, her beautiful, fiery red hair cascading down. She smiled, but in Jiang Ningran’s eyes, that smile was like a soul reaper from hell, making her terrified. “Now.” Shi Ning raised her hand and pointed to the wide-open door. “Get, out.”

“Otherwise, I think your parents would be happy to receive my call and listen to my deductions, and discuss the lawsuit with me.”

How dare she push her this far!!

Jiang Ningran thought Shi Ning was a lunatic. She wanted to curse her, but she didn’t dare. The places Shi Ning had hit her were still hurting, and the pain in her broken wrist was excruciating.

Finally, she lowered her head, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred, but she still curled up into a ball, like a burrito, and rolled out.

Thud.

She rolled out.

Shi Ning picked up her phone and took a picture. Then she waved at Jiang Ningran and, right in front of her, slammed the door shut.

Bang—

Outside the door, Jiang Ningran clenched her fists and let out a silent roar. She looked back at the door, the hatred in her eyes thick and viscous, like the ink of a squid.

Once Jiang Ningran was gone, Shi Ning first checked the recording on her phone and then reconfirmed all the evidence she had obtained today.

Then, she got up, picked up the shirt that Jiang Ningran had taken off, the one that belonged to Su Tianxue, turned the collar, and found the tag and size.

Shi Ning found the same one online and immediately ordered two. One she would return to Su Tianxue in perfect condition, and the other, a light blue one, she would keep for herself. Humph!

Su Tianxue’s clothes weren’t expensive. She was a very simple person, and this shirt was just a regular one from Taobao that cost 99 yuan.

After doing all this, Shi Ning sighed and lay down on the sofa.

Something suddenly poked her butt. Shi Ning reached for it and found it was Su Wanxing’s phone. The kid must have been so emotional and overwhelmed that she completely forgot about her phone.

Shi Ning got up, rinsed out the milk mug Su Wanxing had finished, and put it back in its original place. She hadn’t forgotten the cohabitation rules Su Tianxue had set. That person was like she had OCD, she had to have everything perfectly organized.

Next, Shi Ning walked to Su Wanxing’s door, looked at the key hanging in the lock, and hesitated for a long time, wondering whether she should knock on her door to remind her that her phone was outside or if she should talk to her…

But Shi Ning wasn’t good at comforting people.

Besides, Su Wanxing already disliked her.

Right now, Su Wanxing probably didn’t want to see her either.

With that in mind, Shi Ning lowered her hand.

She thought it was probably best to let Su Wanxing be alone for a while.

Shi Ning sat back down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling and thinking about this whole Jiang Ningran situation. She took out her phone, looked up relevant legal clauses and documents, and mentally simulated all possible scenarios. If Su Wanxing ultimately chose to sue… she didn’t have a lawyer’s license in this world, so she couldn’t represent her. But she had money and could find the best lawyers in this world. Her own company also had a bunch of elite legal staff.

Helping Su Wanxing with the lawsuit wouldn’t be difficult.

It just depended on Su Wanxing’s attitude.

Whew—

This was troublesome.
