Transmigrated into a Classic Dog-Blood Drama as the Scummy Alpha - Chapter 22.2

“I’ll explain later. I’m sending you the address now—thank you.” Shen Xian sent the location, then picked up Tiantian and headed toward Lin Qinghan.

By now, the shouting had escalated.

“I told you—I don’t have money to give you. Mom, stop forcing me!”

“Forcing you? I raised you all these years, and now that you’ve got a job in the city you don’t even want to acknowledge me?! Fine! Go ahead, let everyone see! Look! My daughter, Lin Qinghan, is an ungrateful brat!” Jiang Fang shrieked.

It was midday, and the neighborhood was usually quiet. Jiang Fang’s screeching pierced through the peace like nails on a chalkboard.

“I’m your daughter, not your ATM. Lin Zhixin is a grown man. Other than asking for money, what does he even do? Is he the only child you have? What am I to you?” Lin Qinghan snapped back.

“You’re my daughter, of course! You ungrateful woman! It’s just 30,000 yuan! Your brother’s hand was nearly chopped off—are you just going to stand by and watch? Is that what a sister does?”

“I am his sister, not his bank. Lending him money is a favor, not a duty. And besides, when has he ever paid me back?” Lin Qinghan was furious. She never expected her mother to come here and gang up on her for money with her brother.

While they were arguing, Shen Xian had reached them, Tiantian still trembling in her arms. “No… don’t wanna… Mommy, Tiantian doesn’t wanna go over. I’m scared.”

Shen Xian gently squeezed Lin Qinghan’s wrist and handed her the child. “Qinghan, take Tiantian and go a little farther away. Don’t let her get frightened. I’ve got this.”

Lin Zhixin shrank back the moment he saw Shen Xian approach, quickly hiding behind Jiang Fang and whispering, “Mom, don’t let Sis take the kid away. She’s the one making a scene—let S Tiantian see for herself how heartless her mom is.”

Jiang Fang lunged forward, trying to grab Lin Qinghan, but Shen Xian stepped in and caught her wrist. “If you’ve got something to say, say it to me. Keep your hands off Qinghan.”

That was enough to set Jiang Fang off. She let out a screech and collapsed dramatically onto the ground. “To you? Who do you think you are?! I haven’t even dealt with you over hitting my son last time, and now you’re putting your hands on me too?! My arm’s broken! You’ve crippled me!”

Shen Xian almost laughed out loud. What kind of lunatics were these people? That Lin Qinghan managed to grow up decently in this household was nothing short of a miracle.

Calmly, Shen Xian took two steps back and watched Jiang Fang writhe on the ground like a caricature of her own son. But the insults quickly turned vicious.

“Lin Qinghan, you heartless witch! Letting your own mother be bullied! Already divorced and still clinging to Shen Xian like some shameless hussy! You won’t help your mother, but you’ve got time to flirt around?

And don’t think I don’t know—Shen Xian isn’t your only lover. Everyone at your hospital knows you’ve been fooling around with multiple men!”

Not far away, Lin Qinghan went cold. She never imagined her own mother would yell something so disgusting in public—just to extort money.

“Waaah! Mama! I’m scared! I Don’t want Grandma! I Don’t want Grandma!” Tiantian cried, curling up in Lin Qinghan’s arms in terror.

“Shh, it’s okay, baby. We’re right here. Nothing’s going to happen to you.” Lin Qinghan whispered, holding her tight as they walked even farther away, shielding her from the chaos.

“Fine. I recorded everything you just said. Publicly insulting someone or fabricating rumors to slander them can lead to up to five days of detention or a fine of up to 500 yuan. If the circumstances are more serious, it could be five to ten days in detention, possibly with an additional fine. If you have something to say, say it properly. But with this attitude? I’ll just call the police.”

Shen Xian showed no mercy dealing with Lin Zhixin. As for Jiang Fang—though she was Lin Qinghan’s mother—Shen Xian couldn’t bring herself to act rashly in front of Qinghan.

“You dare threaten me, Shen Xian? Do you think I don’t know how much ink is in your pen? Quoting laws now? What a joke. You just made that up, didn’t you? Go ahead, call the cops. If I were afraid of you, I’d have taken your last name by now!”

Jiang Fang cackled from the floor as she spoke, laughing like it was the funniest thing she’d ever heard.

Shen Xian sneered. “No need to take my last name. I wouldn’t want such a disgraceful daughter.”

“You—Shen Xian! You dare take advantage of me? I’ll fight you!”

Jiang Fang sprang up and charged toward Shen Xian, who sidestepped effortlessly. Jiang Fang stumbled and fell back onto the ground. She wailed loudly, “Ow! You’ve really done it now! Shen Xian, you’ll be paying for my medical bills! Not a cent less than thirty thousand!”

Shen Xian gave a cold laugh. “Thirty thousand? What, do you have a terminal illness? You tripped over your own feet and now expect me to cough up thirty grand? Hilarious. Besides, I have nothing to do with you.

My phone’s been recording this entire time. You were the one who rushed at me—none of this involves me.”

With that, she pulled out her phone and called the police, explaining the situation and giving their location before ending the call.

Jiang Fang, seeing that Shen Xian really had called the police, simply stayed on the ground and groaned louder. “Good! Let them come! Let the police see what you’ve done to me. I can’t even get up anymore!”

Just as she kept yelling, a car engine sounded in the distance. Shen Xian turned and saw a red Porsche pulling up. She quickly jogged over, just as Jiang Xi stepped out of the vehicle.

Jiang Xi glanced at the bickering figures in the distance and asked, “Sis, where’s the kid? Did something happen? Do you need me to call someone?”

“There’s been a bit of trouble,” Shen Xian said in a low voice. “My ex-wife’s younger brother keeps showing up asking her for money. If he could be detained for two or three days, that’d be ideal. It’s not a serious matter, but I’m worried he might scare the child. Could you look after her for a bit?”

Domestic disputes like this, even with a police report, rarely led to detention unless someone pulled strings. But with connections? That was another matter.

“Got it. I’ll take the kid with me for now.”

While they were talking, Lin Qinghan observed from a distance. Jiang Xi looked like she was in her early twenties—beautiful and delicate, with all the signs of a pampered Omega. Add to that the flashy sports car, and Lin Qinghan understood immediately. So that’s why Shen Xian had stopped asking others for money. She’d found herself a young, pretty sugar mommy?

As Lin Qinghan was spiraling into that train of thought, Shen Xian and Jiang Xi had already approached. “Qinghan,” Shen Xian said, “let my friend take Tiantian for now. I’ve called the police, and this might take a while. I don’t want Tiantian to be scared again.”

Lin Qinghan eyed Jiang Xi but didn’t move. Jiang Xi smiled and said in a friendly tone, “Don’t worry, sis. I’ll take care of her. Once you’re done, I’ll bring her back safe and sound.”

Lin Qinghan frowned. Since when were rich backers this helpful—willing to babysit, no less? But with everything her mother and brother had stirred up, and Tiantian’s little red eyes still trembling with fear, she couldn’t bear to refuse. She nodded. “Thanks.”

“It’s no problem,” Jiang Xi replied, reaching out to take Tiantian. But the little girl clung tightly to Lin Qinghan’s neck.

Shen Xian gently coaxed her, “Tiantian, be a good girl and go with this auntie for a bit, okay? Once mommy finishes dealing with grandma and uncle, she’ll come pick you up. This auntie is mommy’s good friend—she’ll take good care of you.”

Tiantian didn’t want to go, but at the sight of her terrifying grandmother and uncle, her tiny body began to tremble. She bit her lip and said, “Okay… But mommy, you have to come quickly. Tiantian’s scared.”

After a pause, she slowly let go of Lin Qinghan’s neck and held out her tiny hands to Jiang Xi, blinking her big eyes in wary curiosity. Jiang Xi’s heart melted instantly. She scooped Tiantian up and said cheerfully,

“Let’s go! Auntie’s taking Tiantian to eat yummy food. No need to be scared.”

Seeing Jiang Xi’s Porsche and her interaction with Shen Xian, Jiang Fang immediately caught on. She sprang to her feet and dragged Lin Zhixin over. “Hey girl, let me tell you—Shen Xian already has a wife and kid! Don’t let that scumbag trick you! But since you’re with her now, you can pay the thirty grand she owes me. Judging by that car, you’re not short on cash!”

She reached out to grab Jiang Xi, but Shen Xian stepped in and caught Jiang Fang’s wrist. “Xi Xi, take Tiantian and go.”

Jiang Xi quickly carried Tiantian to the car, got in, and drove off. Even when the Porsche was long gone, Jiang Fang was still ranting, “Great! You’re messing with my daughter while hooking up with some rich woman! Qinghan, are you stupid? Siding with this woman against your own mother and brother? She nearly broke my wrist!”

Shen Xian tossed her a cold glare and flung off her hand. Just then, the sound of police sirens approached. A police car pulled around the corner and three officers stepped out.

Jiang Fang rushed forward, yelling, “Officers! Please help! My daughter’s been brainwashed by this scum! I was even assaulted—she’s the one playing victim!”

Before she could continue, the lead officer frowned and interrupted, “That’s enough. We’re here to resolve a dispute, not listen to shouting.”

Jiang Fang shut up immediately. Lin Zhixin also began to look uneasy. He hadn’t expected Shen Xian to actually call the cops.

The officer turned to Shen Xian and Lin Qinghan. “You two explain the situation.”

Shen Xian nodded. “This is my ex-wife’s mother, Jiang Fang, and her younger brother, Lin Zhixin. Zhixin is a chronic freeloader—always gambling, drinking, and causing trouble. Every time he runs out of money, he comes to her for more. He owes 30,000 yuan again and came asking for it today. As for Jiang Fang, she only cares about her son. She came here, rolling around on the ground, insulting her daughter just to get money. I recorded the whole thing on my phone. Officers, you can take a look.”

“She’s lying!” Jiang Fang burst out. “Shen Xian shoved me! My daughter’s been led astray and doesn’t care about her family anymore! We just asked for a small loan of 30,000, and now she won’t even acknowledge her own mother. Officer, you have to help us!”

The officer took Shen Xian’s phone. Jiang Fang panicked and tried to snatch it back, but a female officer stepped in and blocked her. “What? You trying to attack an officer now?”

“No, no! I just didn’t want you being tricked by this scumbag!” Jiang Fang said hastily.

The female officer’s face went cold. “If this is how you act in front of police, I can only imagine how you behave when we’re not around. Makes reviewing that video all the more necessary.”

The officers huddled to watch the footage. It clearly showed Jiang Fang and Lin Zhixin being belligerent, with plenty of insults and slander directed at Lin Qinghan. Since a call had already been made to handle this case firmly, the officers understood what needed to be done.

“I—I just couldn’t get my point across. My daughter’s being unfilial! Now you’re arresting me? I might as well be dead!” Jiang Fang wailed, seeing no one was on her side.

The lead officer said, “Alright. We’ve got the gist. These two intentionally slandered and insulted others. They’ll be held for two days. You two—please come with us to give a statement. There’s no room in the patrol car, so you’ll need to get there on your own.”

Jiang Fang panicked. “Why us? They’re the ones being disrespectful to their elders! Why are we being taken in?”

“We saw the footage. You clearly insulted and slandered others. A daughter has no obligation to put up with that. I’ve seen plenty of freeloaders like you—spend a few days in a cell and maybe you’ll learn something.”

“Enough. Let’s go.” The lead officer handed Shen Xian her phone and opened the patrol car door. “Get in on your own, or we’ll help you in.”

Jiang Fang and Lin Zhixin’s legs went weak. “Officer! We didn’t do anything wrong! Qinghan, please say something. We don’t want the money anymore! We’ll leave!”

“You think this is a game? We have to file a report every time we’re dispatched. Stop wasting our time and move it.”

Reluctantly, the two were escorted into the patrol car. Before getting in, Jiang Fang shot Lin Qinghan a venomous glare.

Lin Qinghan watched her mother and brother being taken away and felt nothing but cold emptiness. Were these really her family? Still, her heart ached. She hadn’t expected things to deteriorate like this. She hadn’t called the police, but she was tired—so tired. When would all this end?

Shen Xian gently patted her shoulder. “I know this hurts. But if we don’t set boundaries, they’ll keep showing up and scaring Tiantian. Two days of detention is all—nothing serious. And this wasn’t your fault. I made the call. Don’t wear yourself out.”

Lin Qinghan sighed, glanced at Shen Xian, and gave a small nod. The two quietly hailed a cab to the station. By the time they finished giving their statements, it was already afternoon. Jiang Fang and Lin Zhixin were officially detained for two days.

Despite the brief peace, Lin Qinghan didn’t feel relief—only growing sorrow. She had no one to confide in. The only person standing by her side now was the one she’d least wanted to see not long ago. And now that person even had a beautiful, young benefactor. Lin Qinghan gave herself a bitter smile as she opened the taxi door and climbed in.

Shen Xian followed behind. Though they sat only a short distance apart, something intangible hung heavily between them. The ride was silent.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xi had taken Tiantian back to her villa. It was the child’s first time riding in a sports car, and without a child seat, she sat stiff and red-eyed in the passenger seat, looking especially small and pitiful.

Jiang Xi slowed the car, speaking gently. “Don’t worry, Tiantian. Auntie will take good care of you. Mommy will come pick you up very soon.”

Tiantian, trying to stay strong, nodded. “Mm-hmm. Tiantian is a good girl. Tiantian won’t cry.”

“So brave! I’ll make lots of yummy food for you, okay? We’ll be home soon.”

Jiang Xi and her brother were both single, so she wasn’t used to kids.

Soon, the red Porsche pulled up to the villa. Tiantian, faced with an unfamiliar home, looked anxious. Jiang Xi parked, opened the door, and gently lifted the little girl into her arms. “Don’t be scared, Tiantian. This is Auntie’s home. There are lots of treats waiting for you.”

“…for Tiantian to eat.”

Tiantian was visibly nervous. Everything around her was unfamiliar, and the only person she recognized was the auntie holding her—her mommy’s friend. With nowhere else to turn, she clung tightly to Jiang Xi’s neck with her tiny arms, curling herself into a small, timid ball.

Jiang Xi carried Tiantian into the house. Aunt Yu, the housekeeper of the Jiang family, came over quickly to greet them. Seeing the child in Jiang Xi’s arms, she lit up with delight.
“Xi Xi, where did this little one come from? She’s so tiny—and absolutely adorable!”

Jiang Xi smiled and gently patted the top of Tiantian’s head.
“She’s my friend’s daughter. She’s really sweet and well-behaved. Aunt Yu, do we still have any snacks or juice at home? Could you bring some out for Tiantian?”

“Of course! We’ve got plenty of snacks and juice in the house—I’ll go get some right away.”
Aunt Yu, who wasn’t yet fifty, had a soft spot for children and was clearly delighted. She turned and headed to the kitchen.

Worried Tiantian might still be frightened, Jiang Xi sat down on the sofa and kept the little girl cradled in her arms. She casually picked up a stuffed cat plushie nearby and handed it to her.
“Here, Tiantian, why don’t you play with this kitty? Don’t be scared—just treat this like your own home, okay?”
