Transmigrated Before the Scum A Tortured the Female Lead (GL) - Chapter 7
The Xu family’s old mansion was located in the suburbs of the provincial capital. Xu Jinzhao felt from the bottom of her heart that its location was too remote, and it wasn’t convenient to travel from the old mansion.
This was one of the reasons why [Xu Jinzhao] bought the small villa closer to the city center.
It took her a full hour to drive to this ridiculously large and extravagantly decorated mansion.
It must be said that simply calling it a mansion actually lowered its standard, because it was a veritable private estate.
Not to mention the interior of the mansion, which included a small lake, there were also large lawns and woods surrounding the continuous high walls. Even if the owner inside never stepped foot on these lands, they were still bought as private land to prevent trespassing for the security of the estate.
In Xu Jinzhao’s own world, it was impossible for a private individual to enjoy a private residence built on such a vast expanse of land, no matter how much wealth they possessed.
Xu Jinzhao naturally had unimpeded access here. She drove from the wide and flat tree-lined road at the main entrance into the interior of the mansion.
She spent a few more minutes driving through the orderly and symmetrical large Western-style garden landscape in the front yard before arriving at the magnificent gray-roofed main house in the center of the estate.
The butler was waiting outside the main hall, waving to call a servant to drive the car away, and led Xu Jinzhao into the porch: “Miss, the master is waiting for you.”
“How is his mood today?” Xu Jinzhao asked.
“The master is not very happy.”
Xu Jinzhao’s heart sank slightly.
The vaulted ceiling of the main hall was built extremely high, and the south-facing wall had six huge floor-to-ceiling windows symmetrically opened on each side of the porch to facilitate the lighting inside the hall.
Perhaps Xu Boyang himself felt uncomfortable with the emptiness of the hall, as meals were always arranged in the west side hall.
Xu Boyang was sitting upright at the head of the long dining table in the side hall, with an oil painting of himself hanging above the fireplace behind him.
His temples were slightly white, and the gray stubble on his chin was meticulously trimmed. Due to his high brow bone, his eyeballs were deeply sunken into his eye sockets. The two nasolabial folds on his cheeks were extremely deep, and his whole temperament looked gloomy and difficult to get along with.
Xu Jinzhao greeted him softly, and the butler pulled out the dining chair on the left side of the head seat for her.
She could feel Xu Boyang’s gaze lingering on the wound on her ear for a moment, but he only said lightly, “Sit down. The kitchen has prepared your favorite dishes.”
The sunlight in the hall was excellent, bright and spacious. The furniture, utensils, and even the floor that wasn’t covered with carpet were spotless, but Xu Jinzhao felt unusually depressed.
The appetizers that were served were exquisitely cooked, but she ate without tasting anything, trying her best to perform enjoyment on her face.
It wasn’t until halfway through the main course that Xu Boyang got to the point.
“I heard from Qi Yao that you changed your mind and plan to let Song Jiao go back to school again?”
Here it comes! Xu Jinzhao tensed up inwardly and tried to answer as naturally as possible:
“Yes, I marked her yesterday. She’s not very willing. I have to give her some sweetness. I can’t let her feel like she’s having a bad time following me.”
Xu Boyang snorted lightly, seemingly quite disdainful.
“Did I do something wrong?” Xu Jinzhao raised her head, looking confused, “What do you think?”
The Alpha leaned forward towards her, closing the distance between them. The high brow bone made his eyebrows press tightly against his deep eyes. He slowly opened his mouth and taught.
“Omegas are born to submit to Alphas. Obedience is their nature. An overly tolerant environment will cause this part of their DNA-derived consciousness to degenerate, making them unable to distinguish their own status.
“Jinzhao, your training of her has just begun. Don’t relax until your wife truly recognizes you as her owner.”
Xu Jinzhao’s stomach churned, and a strong feeling of nausea surged into her throat.
She wanted to spit on the middle-aged man’s arrogant and contemptuous face, curse him for being sick, and preferably punch his pretentious nose out of shape, sending him rolling back into the gutter where social garbage should stay.
But she couldn’t right now.
Xu Jinzhao said, “I will.”
Xu Boyang didn’t speak. He didn’t even take back his gaze that was fixed on Xu Jinzhao. His hawk-like eyes seemed to see through her eyeballs into her brain.
After a moment, he said:
“Interesting, you’re quite obedient today.”
The young Alpha’s back slowly oozed fine sweat, and her palms holding the cutlery were also wet. She was terrified, and her heart was pounding against her chest.
She smiled at the old wolf king who was scrutinizing her: “After all, you’re always right.”
Undoubtedly, Xu Boyang was pleased with this answer. He laughed loudly, appearing proud and happy.
“Good child,” after stopping laughing, Xu Boyang praised her repeatedly, “You are my best work in this life, inheriting all my excellent genes. After so many years of teaching by example, you finally didn’t disappoint your father.”
Xu Jinzhao thought, screw you, old man.
The atmosphere at the dining table seemed to become harmonious. Xu Boyang drank some wine with the meal and even persuaded Xu Jinzhao to drink and be happy together, but she used the excuse that she had to drive to brush him off.
Xu Boyang didn’t mind. He was slightly drunk and said to Xu Jinzhao with an almost loving expression:
“Song Jiao will be your best assistant in the future. A marked Omega will not betray her Alpha. You are her common destiny. Only by relying on you can she survive.”
He even mentioned some past events of Song Jiao’s parents to corroborate his statement.
Mr. and Mrs. Song were once Xu Boyang’s subordinates. Song Jiao’s mother was a capable Omega, beautiful and strong.
Xu Boyang commented, “Song Yikang’s personality is too weak. He doesn’t even look like an Alpha. I thought he would be held back by his woman, but his Omega became docile after marriage.”
Xu Jinzhao lowered her head and drank the soup, hiding her emotions.
She had long known from Song Jiao’s memories in the book that her parents had a good relationship because her father always loved and respected her mother, without those Alpha’s arrogant and conceited bad habits.
Who would have thought that it would become evidence of ‘Omegas settling down after marriage’ in Xu Boyang’s eyes.
Xu Boyang said, “However, Song Yikang’s short-sightedness has never changed.”
When Song Jiao was ten years old, her mother passed away. Song Yikang was devastated. Little Song Jiao was also playing with [Xu Jinzhao] at this time, starting her future miserable fate.
[Xu Jinzhao] only treated her as an ordinary playmate at that time, bossing her around and often bullying little Song Jiao.
But little Song Jiao grew more and more beautiful. After they both differentiated, [Xu Jinzhao] gradually had different thoughts and confided in her father.
Xu Boyang recognized his daughter’s vision and, despite Song Yikang’s resistance, forcefully came forward to set up a marriage contract for them.
Song Yikang didn’t think Song Jiao would be happy marrying the domineering [Xu Jinzhao]. He began to leak Xu’s internal information to Xu’s opponents, hoping to bring down Xu Boyang by relying on the other family.
The result was naturally a failure, and he was convicted and imprisoned.
[Xu Jinzhao] even tried to brainwash Song Jiao, telling her that the Song family was sorry to the Xu family and that Song Jiao should atone for her father.
Song Jiao was very smart. She had her own opinions and didn’t follow [Xu Jinzhao]’s will.
Song’s affairs were just a few words. Xu Boyang changed the subject and began to talk about his parenting experience, emphasizing his contributions to Xu Jinzhao and the difficulties of raising her.
Heh, Xu Jinzhao thought, it was clearly her mother who endured the hardship of ten months of pregnancy to give birth to [Xu Jinzhao], breastfed her, and took care of her daily life. After her mother, it was the nanny and the butler.
This old man was only responsible for instilling disgusting Alpha noble theories into [Xu Jinzhao].
The meal was extremely torturous, but at least Xu Boyang was fooled.
When Xu Jinzhao left the estate and finally saw the small villa that she still didn’t feel at home in before leaving, she actually felt a little like it was home.
Xu Jinzhao threw off her high heels as soon as she entered the door, tossed her suit jacket aside, and lay down on the living room sofa, exhausted.
“It’s still better at home…” she moaned in satisfaction, stretching her body.
Xu Jinzhao was already sleep-deprived and had to force herself to deal with Xu Boyang. She couldn’t keep her eyes open after lying down and fell into a deep sleep.
A pair of pale hands silently picked up her discarded jacket.
Song Jiao looked at Xu Jinzhao, whose face, in her dream, carried an unprecedented innocence and spirit. Her pinned-up hair had loosened and piled around her cheeks, and she was sleeping sweetly, unaware.
She brought the jacket in her hand to her nose and sniffed. The faint scent of citrus and sea salt lingered in the collar.
Song Jiao thought for a long time, then turned around and casually hung the suit jacket on the hanger.
She took a few steps, opened her phone, and typed into the browser search bar:
[Does the scent of Alpha pheromones change?]
Author’s Notes:
Little cat sniffs, the scent of the hated person has become pleasant.
