Transmigrated Before the Scum A Tortured the Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 31
Xu Jinzhao had absolutely no intention of paying attention to that guy.
She didn’t even spare him a glance, continuing to hold Song Jiao’s hand, her fingers intertwined with hers, and asked gently, “Are you cold? Why aren’t you wearing gloves?”
Song Jiao said, “Then warm them up for me.”
Xu Jinzhao took Song Jiao’s other hand and held both of them together in her palm, warming the Omega’s hands.
This display of affection nearly blinded the sports car guy. He had never been so ignored before, and he angrily held down the horn, emitting a piercing long blast.
Xu Jinzhao turned her head to look at the young man. His hair was dyed green, huge sunglasses were perched on his head, and he was squinting, his face full of provocation.
But she just looked at him without saying anything.
The green hair attracted Xu Jinzhao’s attention, but she didn’t get a response for a long time, so he had to ask again, feeling stifled, “I asked you who you are!”
Xu Jinzhao feigned ignorance, “Who are you?”
The green-haired guy’s nose twitched, and he was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and choked.
This was Changnan Province, and he was in Juzhou City. Dropping his brother’s name wouldn’t work here, and no one knew who he was.
But the green-haired guy was unwilling to give up. He put his arm up, casually flashing his bright gemstone rings and the diamond watch on his wrist, and sneered:
“This girl is your wife? How pitiful, coming to pick someone up and you can’t even afford a car.”
The green-haired Alpha’s goal had clearly changed, from hitting on Song Jiao to competing with Xu Jinzhao.
But Xu Jinzhao wasn’t annoyed at all, and even mocked him with a pitying look:
“But my wife just likes me. She’s unwilling to even glance at you but is willing to walk away with me. Is it any of your business? Besides, how do you know I don’t have a car?”
The green-haired guy looked angry and disdainful, clearly thinking Xu Jinzhao was putting on a brave face.
But before he could speak, Song Jiao took Xu Jinzhao’s hand first and said in a spoiled tone, “Darling, let’s go, don’t talk to him.”
The Omega deliberately lowered her voice a little and said to Xu Jinzhao, “Driving a convertible in such cold weather is really funny, and his hair looks like a turtle’s shell.”
Song Jiao’s “whisper” was only a few decibels lower, and the green-haired guy heard it clearly, his nose practically twisting with anger.
Xu Jinzhao and Song Jiao finished laughing together before she turned to advise the green-haired guy, “This is the school’s bus stop. Honking and parking here are violations, subject to fines and points deduction. You should leave quickly.”
The green-haired guy’s entire face turned red. He slapped the steering wheel twice heavily, making the horn blare loudly, “I feel like it, I can afford the fines, is it any of your business? Poor bastard!”
He had been lingering here for so long, constantly honking and making noise, which had long attracted the attention of students and the security booth.
Xu Jinzhao shrugged and said to Song Jiao, “Good advice is hard to give to a fool who’s bent on death. Let’s go, ignore him, he’ll cry when the traffic police arrive.”
They held hands and turned to leave. The green-haired guy roared from behind, “Who are you calling names! Who’s afraid of the traffic police?”
Two Changnan University security guards came over and sternly told him to leave, “The bus is coming soon, don’t block the road, leave quickly.”
The green-haired guy was already full of anger from Xu Jinzhao and had nowhere to vent it. He shouted furiously, “Grandpa’s staying here today!”
Seeing the security guards arrive, some students who had stopped to watch the commotion started jeering from the side, “Hey, whoever leaves is a grandson.”
Just as they were in a stalemate, the bus arrived at the station, honking loudly behind them to urge the sports car to leave.
The green-haired guy was in a difficult position, unwilling to admit defeat. The people waiting for the bus were full of complaints, some called the police, and some called the media.
The green-haired guy never expected that on his first day in Juzhou, after hitting on a beautiful Omega girl and being given the cold shoulder, he would be mocked by the girl’s poor Alpha wife and get into such an embarrassing situation out of spite.
He became even more enraged by the complaints, pointing at the people taking photos and videos with their phones and shouting, “You poor, stupid Changnan people, what are you filming?”
Once the map attack was launched, even those who had been bystanders became angry and immediately rolled up their sleeves to curse at the green-haired guy.
The other two involved had already left the center of the storm, leaving the green-haired guy straining his throat to argue with the passersby.
Xu Jinzhao and Song Jiao walked far away hand in hand. Looking back, it was still noisy.
The two tacitly let go of each other and smiled at each other.
Xu Jinzhao tugged at the sleeves of her polo shirt, then clasped her hands together and apologized seriously, “Wife, I’m sorry, I embarrassed you by dressing like this.”
Song Jiao looked at her beautiful face, fully revealed after she had tied up her long hair, her fair skin showing a slight flush from the exercise.
The Alpha’s eyebrows were particularly expressive, always able to make various micro-expressions to convey her mood.
Now, those long eyebrows were drooping in feigned pity, with a hint of playfulness and cuteness.
Some short, fluffy strands of hair around her forehead and temples stuck out, and her ponytail wasn’t very neatly tied, making her look like a lively, long-haired dog that had just run around in the grass.
Song Jiao resisted the urge to keep looking at the Alpha’s messy hair. She said, “You look good in dresses, beautiful and mature. But you also look very youthful and energetic now.”
Although Song Jiao knew that wasn’t what Xu Jinzhao meant, she couldn’t help but compliment her.
Xu Jinzhao covered her cheeks and laughed, “Why are you suddenly praising me like this? It’s making me embarrassed.”
Song Jiao didn’t see any awkwardness in the Alpha’s expression. This kind of statement was just a self-deprecating way of responding to praise.
An idea suddenly popped into Song Jiao’s head:
Was [Xu Jinzhao]’s appearance similar to or even the same as Xu Jinzhao’s own?
Xu Jinzhao was a person with a strong sense of morality, a little pedantic in some ways.
If their appearances were different, Xu Jinzhao would never accept her compliments about her looks so naturally.
Although Song Jiao knew in her heart that what she was praising was essentially Xu Jinzhao’s inner charm radiating from within, not just this appearance.
When [Xu Jinzhao] was still around, she never thought the Alpha was beautiful, only considering her face hateful and annoying.
Song Jiao had never cared before whether [Xu Jinzhao] was beautiful or ugly, but now she began to be glad that she had a beautiful face that was the same as Xu Jinzhao’s.
If [Xu Jinzhao] hadn’t conformed to popular aesthetics, and Xu Jinzhao became [Xu Jinzhao] and found herself ugly, she would probably be very depressed, right?
Song Jiao felt a sense of relief for no reason.
Xu Jinzhao didn’t know these thoughts in Song Jiao’s mind. The Omega had already completely regarded [Xu Jinzhao] as a tool person providing her with a matching body.
Xu Jinzhao was thinking about the fingers that had proactively intertwined with hers when she held Song Jiao’s hand just now. She asked Song Jiao:
“Am I better now? Not annoying to you anymore?”
What Xu Jinzhao had said before the Qin Lingyue party now surfaced in Song Jiao’s mind.
The Omega’s memory was excellent. She even still remembered Xu Jinzhao’s expression at the time and the subtle changes in her tone of voice.
Song Jiao told her, “I will keep watching you, see how you behave in the future. If you turn bad one day, I will ignore you.”
Xu Jinzhao wasn’t as excited as the first time she was acknowledged, but she still smiled very happily, with a hint of smug little mystery.
Song Jiao had already seen through everything, completely exposing Xu Jinzhao’s true colors.
She thought tolerantly: Considering the Alpha is only 2 years old this year, it’s normal for a child to be happy over such a small thing.*
Xu Jinzhao had a sudden idea, “Let’s go for a drive.”
The Alpha’s eyes sparkled, hiding little suns inside, “We won’t eat at home tonight. After the drive, we’ll go to the mall, and I’ll buy you winter clothes. You can choose the styles yourself.”
She knew that many of the clothes in Song Jiao’s wardrobe were currently bought by Xu Jinzhao without her input.
But Song Jiao basically didn’t wear them, always wearing the old clothes she had brought. Now that the weather was turning cold, winter clothes had to be prepared in advance.
The two had already reached the parking lot. Song Jiao said, “I’ll listen to you.”
Xu Jinzhao then became excited and called Aunt Li, telling her that they wouldn’t be home for dinner.
After putting away her phone, her gaze turned to Song Jiao, “Want to sit in the passenger seat?”
The Omega had always sat in the back seat, avoiding [Xu Jinzhao].
But, Xu Jinzhao thought, Song Jiao wasn’t repulsed by her anymore.
Song Jiao saw the expectation in the other’s eyes and gave a small, permissive smile.
Xu Jinzhao smiled too. She walked a few steps quickly and opened the passenger door of the Rolls-Royce SUV.
The Omega gracefully sat down. Xu Jinzhao closed the door for her. When she went around to the other side and opened her own door, she realized that she should probably change her clothes.
The green-haired guy’s disdain wasn’t without reason. Leaving aside everything else, she did have some obvious dust on her.
Song Jiao noticed the Alpha’s hesitation and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xu Jinzhao, “We’re going to the mall later… I should change my clothes.”
Song Jiao, “Then change in the back seat?”
Song Jiao didn’t intend to go out to avoid her, so Xu Jinzhao felt relieved.
If the Omega didn’t care, why should she, someone from a normal gender system world, care about AO genders?
Xu Jinzhao sat in the back of the SUV. The interior space of this car was very spacious.
When she left the main house, she had brought the outerwear and shoes she had taken off, packed in a paper bag, which was placed on the rear floor mat.
Xu Jinzhao took out the dress from the paper bag, turned her back to Song Jiao, and took off her golf polo shirt.
The Alpha changed clothes in the back seat, making some slight noises.
Song Jiao’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the rearview mirror.
She felt like she wasn’t doing it on purpose, it was just that her eyes suddenly had nowhere else to rest, so she looked in that direction.
The Alpha’s long curly hair was tied up with a hair tie, high on the back of her head. She took off her outer shirt, revealing her tight, snow-white, beautiful back.
When her curls were loose, they hung a little over two palm-widths below her shoulders. Now tied into a ponytail, the end of the braid swung between her nape, faintly brushing against the barrier patch.
The lines of the Alpha’s bare shoulders and neck were as moving as she had seen that day. She was wearing a dark green sports bra, which made the large expanse of uncovered skin look dazzlingly white.
Today, Song Jiao finally got to see the part below her shoulder blades. The Alpha wasn’t thin; she was perfectly plump, giving that delicate, beautiful skin a moist, full visual sensation.
Perhaps it was innate, but her waistline was also very pronounced, exaggeratedly cinched inward, the extreme curve dazzling and mesmerizing.
Xu Jinzhao didn’t take off her sports bra to change into a normal one but directly put on the dress. This made Song Jiao feel a little inexplicably disappointed.
After the Alpha had put on the dress, she turned around.
Song Jiao withdrew her gaze before she turned, pretending to look out the window, as if she hadn’t done anything sneaky.
Xu Jinzhao changed out of her casual pants, stuffing the polo shirt and them into the paper bag together.
She glanced at Song Jiao out of the corner of her eye and found the Omega looking out the window as if nothing had happened.
Xu Jinzhao then felt that she was being petty. The gaze she had felt on her back just now, as if it had substance, was perhaps just her imagination.
She secretly cursed herself: What are you thinking? Would Song Jiao have nothing better to do than watch you change clothes?
The best scenic driving route in Juzhou was naturally along both banks of the Cang River, where you could see the great river flowing by, endlessly rolling.
On weekends, Song Jiao had also driven along the river alone after visiting her father.
Now, the river breeze blowing towards her was still as free as ever, but she had a friend’s company beside her, and it didn’t seem so cold anymore.
Xu Jinzhao didn’t cross the Cang River to the north but drove along the south bank road.
The most prosperous area of Juzhou City was almost entirely south of the Cang River. After finishing their drive, they found a large shopping mall nearby.
Xu Jinzhao initially kept her promise and let Song Jiao choose everything herself without expressing any opinions.
But Song Jiao kept asking her, “Do you think this one looks good? What about this one?”
Since Song Jiao spoke first, Xu Jinzhao couldn’t hold back anymore and enthusiastically helped Song Jiao choose.
Although she wasn’t from a clothing design background, she had a natural knack for color coordination.
Finding that Xu Jinzhao’s taste was surprisingly good, Song Jiao simply gave her free rein to choose her outfits.
Song Jiao wasn’t particularly tall, but she definitely had long legs and a slender waist, with excellent proportions. She was also beautiful and a natural clothes hanger, looking good in anything she wore.
Xu Jinzhao’s decision-making difficulties kicked in. She thought everything looked great, so she made a decision: “Wrap them up, we’ll take them all.”
The salesperson on the side smiled very happily.
Xu Jinzhao herself had been a small-time rich person before. Due to her minor fame, her paintings always found buyers. Before coming here, although she had encountered some difficulties, she also had a large amount of savings accumulated from before.
She didn’t feel any guilt about spending [Xu Jinzhao]’s money. After all, [Xu Jinzhao] could also afford these brands herself, just wouldn’t be so extravagant when buying.
Song Jiao didn’t pay attention to Xu Jinzhao’s actions. She pointed to a dark green long dress and said to Xu Jinzhao:
“I think you would look very good in this color.”
Xu Jinzhao was stunned for a moment, but Song Jiao had already told the salesperson the size and asked her to get it.
The salesperson was very quick. Before Xu Jinzhao could even ask how Song Jiao knew her clothing size, the dress was brought over.
Song Jiao urged her, “I just guessed by looking, go try it on.”
Xu Jinzhao went into the fitting room. When she came out again, she had already changed into the green dress.
The Alpha indeed looked extremely beautiful in dark green. The cut of the dress was also very appropriate, outlining her slender waist.
Song Jiao praised, “Very beautiful, it suits you.”
Xu Jinzhao then smiled, “Okay, although it’s not winter wear, since you like it, then we’ll buy this one too. I’ll wear it for you to see when we get home.”
Song Jiao gazed at her captivating smile, thinking to herself that one day, she too could pay for anything for Xu Jinzhao without hesitation.
The two came out of the store, carrying large and small shopping bags. Xu Jinzhao, being the more capable one, carried the most.
It was also quite coincidental that they ran into acquaintances at the entrance.
Xu Yanhe was impeccably dressed, escorting an Omega girl as they were about to enter.
The Omega had a cute baby face, but her makeup was very delicate and mature. Her chestnut-colored short hair was curled around her cheeks, and she was wrapped in fur.
Xu Jinzhao recognized that this Omega was the youngest daughter of the second branch of the Qin family, named Qin Hao.
When Qin Hao saw her, her expression was a little unnatural.
Her parents had considered a marriage alliance with the Xu family. Qin Hao had a good appearance and had played with [Xu Jinzhao] when they were young, so they could barely be considered childhood sweethearts.
Although the second branch of the Qin family had declined somewhat, they still held shares in the Qin Corporation. Although they didn’t have much say, they lived very comfortably.
If the children were willing, Xu Boyang probably wouldn’t object.
Who knew that [Xu Jinzhao] was a weirdo, fascinated by the Omega daughter of the Xu family’s traitor. Xu Boyang didn’t seem to object to his daughter’s behavior either, even seeming to encourage it.
Because the Qin family had taken the initiative in this matter, essentially trying to curry favor with the Xu family and being rejected, Qin Hao had always felt embarrassed.
Actually, when her parents mentioned [Xu Jinzhao] to her, she had been happy in her heart, after all, Xu Jinzhao was a beautiful Alpha with an outstanding family background.
But after this matter fell through, Qin Hao never wanted to see [Xu Jinzhao] again, and she was even somewhat resentful towards Song Jiao.
The second branch had some friction with Qin Lingyue from the main branch, but Qin Hao was just an innocent young lady who got along very well with Qin Shaoqian.
When she heard from Qin Shaoqian that the relationship between [Xu Jinzhao] and Song Jiao was actually quite strained, Qin Hao felt a little pleased.
However, to say that she had feelings for Xu Jinzhao was not true; it was purely resentment after being snubbed.
Xu Yanhe was the first to greet them. He smiled and said, “What a coincidence, running into you here.”
He looked tenderly at Qin Hao beside him, then turned his gaze to Xu Jinzhao, “Jinzhao knows Ah Hao, so I don’t need to introduce you.”
Xu Yanhe behaved generously, seemingly not avoiding letting Xu Jinzhao know about his relationship with Qin Hao.
He waited for Xu Jinzhao to introduce Song Jiao.
[Xu Jinzhao]’s marriage to Song Jiao had been rushed. Song Jiao herself wasn’t very willing, so they hadn’t held a wedding banquet, only registered their marriage first. Xu Yanhe hadn’t met Song Jiao before.
Xu Jinzhao said, “This is my wife, Song Jiao.”
She then looked at Qin Hao and nodded slightly, “Miss Qin.”
Qin Hao’s gaze fell on the shopping bags in Xu Jinzhao’s hands. This Alpha, who was so cold to her, was willing to carry bags for Song Jiao.
She felt somewhat uncomfortable, but looking at the Omega, who was already stunningly beautiful without any makeup, she had to admit that she was indeed a breathtaking beauty.
Qin Hao was unwilling to stand too long with such an outstanding Omega, as it made her look dim in comparison, so she clung to Xu Yanhe and went into the store.
But after strolling around the store, Qin Hao lost interest again and didn’t find any clothes she liked.
Qin Hao turned to Xu Yanhe and said, “Let’s go look at menswear, Yanhe. Your usual style is too serious, let me pick out a few outfits for you.”
Xu Yanhe smiled and agreed to everything she said.
Qin Hao was satisfied. She helped Xu Yanhe put together outfits and try them on while the Alpha went into the changing room. While waiting, Qin Hao got bored and sent Qin Shaoqian a gossip text message.
[Your intel is wrong. Xu Jinzhao and Song Jiao are very close. I ran into them shopping just now, they’re as thick as thieves.]
Who knew that Qin Shaoqian, who was usually gentle and easy to talk to, quickly replied with one word: [Impossible.]
Qin Hao was a little annoyed. She thought to herself, believe it or not.
Qin Shaoqian didn’t believe it. He had personally heard Song Jiao say to others that Xu Jinzhao was an irrelevant person.
Although later, Xu Jinzhao had proposed to Song Jiao in a high-profile manner at the entrance of Changnan University, and Song Jiao had accepted her ring.
But Qin Shaoqian wasn’t blind and could see that Song Jiao’s expression was stiff and unwilling.
Both he and Qin Hao believed their own eyes.
After piling all the shopping bags onto the back seat, Xu Jinzhao asked Song Jiao, “I saw a snack street nearby. Should we go to a proper restaurant or take a stroll through the snack street?”
Before Qiao Chu passed away, she and Song Yikang were both senior executives at the Xu Corporation, trusted aides of Xu Boyang.
The two were busy with their careers and didn’t have much time to spend with their daughter. Song Jiao was looked after by a nanny and hadn’t really visited places like snack streets much.
The Omega was a little curious. She also felt that strolling around a snack street was more interesting and better for fostering feelings than eating together in a restaurant, so she decisively chose the latter.
This was also Xu Jinzhao’s preferred option, and the two agreed immediately.
The snack street was extremely lively, with a bustling crowd of families, couples, and friends laughing and playing on the street.
Song Jiao had never liked such a noisy atmosphere.
But when she squeezed into the crowd with Xu Jinzhao, she felt that it wasn’t so bad?
Among so many people, only the two of them were connected. They only had each other.
Xu Jinzhao was afraid of getting separated from Song Jiao, so she reached out and put her arm around her shoulder.
Even through the autumn clothes, Song Jiao could still feel that the Alpha’s body was very warm, a different temperature from her own.
When she nestled in Xu Jinzhao’s arms, it felt like she was warming up too.
Xu Jinzhao smiled and asked her loudly, “Is there anything you want to eat?”
Song Jiao looked up and around. There were too many shops of all kinds, and she had difficulty choosing for a moment.
Finally, Song Jiao pointed to a shop selling a specialty snack of spicy rabbit heads, “I want to eat that.”
Xu Jinzhao looked in the direction of her finger. Her expression suddenly became a little strange, but she still said, “Let’s go, we’ll wait in line.”
After queuing to buy the rabbit heads, Xu Jinzhao and Song Jiao found an empty low table by the entrance and sat down.
Song Jiao put on disposable gloves, but Xu Jinzhao sat still, not moving.
Song Jiao asked her, “Aren’t you going to eat?”
Xu Jinzhao chuckled awkwardly, “No, no.”
Song Jiao looked at her for a few seconds and suddenly asked, “Are you afraid to eat rabbit heads?”
Xu Jinzhao: “…”
Xu Jinzhao chose honesty, “I’m a little afraid to eat them.”
Song Jiao found her pained expression amusing. She said, “Then go buy something else to eat. I’ll wait for you here and won’t go anywhere.”
Xu Jinzhao had played golf at the old mansion for a long time and was actually very hungry now. Hearing Song Jiao say this, she immediately got up to buy food.
Song Jiao was tearing apart a rabbit head. She ate slowly and deliberately, her gaze constantly following Xu Jinzhao’s figure in the crowd.
The Alpha didn’t walk far, buying barbecue from the stall next door, fried cakes from the fried dough stick stall, and returning with two cups of lemonade.
She placed these things on the table, pushed a cup of lemonade towards Song Jiao, and muttered, “This rabbit head looks very spicy.”
Song Jiao knew that Xu Jinzhao definitely wasn’t afraid of spicy food. She had seen Xu Jinzhao eat spicy food before. The Alpha was just afraid to eat rabbit heads.
But she was very understanding, “It is indeed very spicy.”
The Omega then requested, “Help me put the straw in.”
Xu Jinzhao glanced at the red, oily rabbit head broth on Song Jiao’s hands, unwrapped a straw, inserted it, and brought it to her lips.
Song Jiao took the straw and drank a sip of lemonade, then smiled at Xu Jinzhao.
But Xu Jinzhao clearly saw a bit of rabbit head sauce on her cheek. Suddenly inspired, she smiled and playfully pointed to the same spot on her own cheek with her finger.
Song Jiao was taken aback. Their thoughts synchronized at that moment, returning to the first time they had dined face-to-face.
At that time, Song Jiao had also reminded Xu Jinzhao that she had soup from a small steamed bun on her cheek.
Xu Jinzhao took out a tissue, reached out to wipe the red oil from Song Jiao’s cheek, and then showed her the mark on the tissue.
The Alpha felt like she had won a small victory, feeling a little smug. Who could guarantee that food would never stick to their face?
Song Jiao didn’t mind. After she finished eating the rabbit head, she took off her gloves and then carefully wiped each finger with a wet wipe.
Xu Jinzhao ate her barbecue and chatted with Song Jiao, “Today I went to the North Bank and saw a newly opened park. The environment there is nice. I saw kites in the sky, probably people flying them.”
Song Jiao casually suggested, “Let’s go take a look together on Saturday.”
Xu Jinzhao suddenly became alert and put down the empty barbecue skewer, “No, you have to go to the hospital to have your hand checked on Saturday.”
Song Jiao: “…”
How could you still remember that?
The Omega picked up a fried cake and directly stuffed it into Xu Jinzhao’s mouth.
Eat quickly, why are you talking so much?
Author’s Note:
Lying little cat being controlled by the dog ×
Clever little cat using food to shut her up √
My brain has already fast-forwarded to the scene where the dog’s random talk ruins the date atmosphere, and the little cat tiptoes and directly uses a kiss to shut her up, but my hands only wrote about the little cat feeding the dog. I hate that my speed of 1000 words per hour can’t become 100,000 words per day, ah!!!!!!
Of course, before writing such a scene, the little cat absolutely cannot eat rabbit heads 0.0
ps: Jinzhao’s honeymoon is actually coming to an end, and her leisurely happy times are also nearing their end. Life is not easy, the dog sighs in advance.
*In Chapter 25, the drunk little Xu forgot her exact age in her twenties, only remembering a 2, so she claimed to be 2 years old. Jiao Jiao is teasing Jinzhao’s childishness here in her heart.
