When the Possessive Omega Fell for Me (GL , ABO) - Chapter 3

Yi Jing was dragged all the way to the banquet hall by her aunt. On the way, she couldn’t help but recall what her aunt had just said.

What did she mean by “How could the position you’ve set your sights on possibly be left for someone else” ???

The situation seemed even more serious than she had imagined.

She originally thought she was some poor little thing neglected and unwelcomed by the family, and that even with bl00d ties, she would have to work hard, hard, and harder – relying on proving herself to return to the main family.

She never expected that she was actually: “A child raised outside but actually very much loved”.

This way, it would be difficult for her to break free.

Even if she hadn’t done anything overbearing in those days she hadn’t personally experienced in the past, could the resources lavished on her erase the label of the Yi family?

Would Yu Miao think she was a good person?

How should she face Yu Miao later???

She was going to die, going to die, going to die! Just thinking about it made her feel too ashamed to face anyone!

Yi Jing was a bit overwhelmed.

Nearly breaking down twice in the span of a short hour, even someone with as strong a heart as Yi Jing felt like dying a little.

And now these things weren’t even the biggest problem she had to face! The more serious predicament at hand was clearly that the Yi family seemed very difficult to deal with.

She had taken office as the security officer, and anyone with eyes could see her youth. She had just been pulled through the banquet hall by her aunt, circling around the venue, yet not a single person expressed shock at her, young and inexperienced, taking the position of security officer.

This kind of reaction could only mean that this sort of thing happened frequently, at least none of the guests present would be surprised.

The fact that even a position of real power like security officer could be casually arranged showed the Yi family’s status in Jing’an City. It didn’t take much thought to know how difficult it would be to snatch someone from the hands of such a family.

The banquet behind her was still lively, with guests chatting and exchanging pleasantries. Yi Jing, feeling very tired, quietly snuck to a corner of the banquet hall and stared at a vase, wanting to cry but having no tears: How many more difficulty-increasing things would happen in this broken world??

Just as this thought had barely emerged, the crisp sound of clinking glasses called Yi Jing’s attention back.

Continuing the Yi family’s core style of being “big” from the inside out and top to bottom, this banquet hall was excessively spacious. Exquisite and luxurious decorations covered every inch from top to bottom. This single banquet hall alone took up almost an entire floor of one of the buildings in the Yi family mansion complex – after all, what the Yi family had no shortage of was imposing architecture.

Yi Jing swept her gaze over the guests toasting and exchanging greetings in the banquet hall, and found that quite a few of them had entered wearing everyday uniforms very similar to her own, clearly identifiable as department officials at a glance.

Yi Jing immediately felt even more of a headache.

There really were some.

The fact that politicians, including herself, could enter wearing uniforms was enough to show that this behavior was allowed, at least other bureaucrats in this world wouldn’t jump out to sanction it or weren’t able to jump out to sanction it.

Very good, blatant collusion, difficulty up another level.

No wonder it was so hard for Yu Miao to escape after entering the Yi family back then. This Yi family was like the final boss in a horror novel, seemingly impossible to defeat at first glance.

Oh, it actually was.

In a sense, the Yi family was indeed the final boss in the horror novel of “Yu Miao’s Life” that had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Yi Jing sighed softly, wanting even more to find Yu Miao.

She wondered where she was, if she was doing well now,  if everything hadn’t happened yet, could she prevent Yu Miao from stepping into this muddy water in advance?

Anyway, she was part of the Yi family now. Come on! Fight poison with poison!

Let’s see who’s more poisonous between her and the Yi family!

Just as Yi Jing was thinking this, the sound of guests whispering behind her floated into her ears.

The two ladies seemed not to have noticed Yi Jing’s presence and were discussing her in low voices: “Do you think the Yi family’s insistence on inserting that child into the Supervisory Bureau before the general election has some other intention?”

“What else could it mean? No matter how old that child is, she’s still surnamed Yi. The judicial system of Jing’an City is already the Yi family’s one-man show,” the other lady laughed, answering with certainty. “Old Master Yi making this move now is most likely to grasp the new trends of Jing’an City’s changes in the next quarter as soon as possible.

With the general election imminent, no matter what actions those above want to take, they will inevitably have to wait until after the change of office in the general election. The Thirteenth District is the core district of Jing’an City. If there are indeed favorable policies, they will certainly be implemented starting from the Thirteenth District. Old Master Yi has the sharpest ears, and of course wouldn’t miss such a crucial moment.”

General election? Supervisory Bureau? Changes?

Yi Jing keenly caught the key words. Could it be that the Yi family’s arrangements for her actually had deeper implications?

The woman who spoke first lowered her voice and asked again: “So, the Yi family is determined to get that position?”

Which position?

Yi Jing also pricked up her ears to listen, and heard the woman who had been answering warn cryptically: “Shut up, is this something that can be discussed here?. His, Security Officer Yi?”

Ah, she’d been discovered.

Yi Jing, who had been focused on eavesdropping, stiffened her back silently, cleared her throat soundlessly, and turned her head to look at the two women with a faint expression, nodding to them nonchalantly – considered as having greeted them.

Yi Jing herself felt quite embarrassed, but fortunately her face was intimidating enough. When not speaking or smiling, she looked scheming and tough, giving off an impression of being forceful and cold, making people feel like they couldn’t gauge her depths.

The two ladies were already feeling guilty about gossiping about others behind their backs, and seeing Yi Jing’s inscrutable expression made them even more unable to help suspecting that everything they said had been secretly noted down by Yi Jing and would be reported to Old Master Yi immediately. They suddenly panicked, nervously added a couple of explanatory remarks, and then quickly found an excuse to flee.

Yi Jing looked at the backs of the two with some reluctance, thinking to herself, why don’t you say a few more words?

Unfortunately, from these two ladies’ reactions, she also roughly guessed one thing – at least at this current banquet, among these guests, no one would be willing to tell her the truth.

Those who knew the inside story would think she was a vested interest, a lofty member of the Yi family, certainly possessing more resources than themselves, and wouldn’t say much to her; those who didn’t know the inside story probably only felt envy and fear.

And the Yi family members would think she was already one of them and couldn’t possibly not understand anything.

She was stuck in the middle, actually lacking even basic common sense.

This was really troublesome.

Both sides felt there was no need to tell her too much, how could this be good?

Yi Jing felt very distressed, the target mission was epic-level difficulty, and she was truly uncomfortable being stuck in the middle.

While Yi Jing was lost in thought, another commotion arose at the entrance of the banquet hall, seemingly due to the arrival of some high-status figure. The guests automatically gathered around, creating a noisy scene, with those on the outer edges unable to see clearly who it was.

Yi Jing lacked interest, only glancing once before losing interest.

Ah, how annoying.

Anyway, there wouldn’t be any gains from this banquet, might as well go out for a walk.

Yi Jing really had no interest in anything at this banquet. She put down her champagne glass and quietly slipped out of the banquet hall.

It must be said that the Yi family’s estate was indeed very large.

Yi Jing avoided the crowds and servants, quietly walking towards less populated areas. With the banquet going on in front now, most of the Yi family’s servants were in the front hall. Yi Jing walked towards more secluded areas for a long time before seeing some rather distinctive old buildings.

The style looked a bit like it was imitating churches from the old era, but the color of the outer walls had faded somewhat, making it look gray and dull.

Logically, the Yi family shouldn’t have such a shabby facility, but this church had somehow remained, also looking abandoned, with no lights around it and some darkness inside the building.

It seemed quite,  Yi Jing hesitantly looked back at the long corridor where servants occasionally passed by.

She had just passed through a connecting corridor from the brightly lit building to this building opposite the old church. Now looking back at the bustling scene behind her, Yi Jing inexplicably wanted to go into that church to find some quiet.

No sooner said than done. Yi Jing couldn’t be bothered with the locked main door and directly entered through the side of another building with an open door.

The Yi family’s buildings seemed to be planned in clusters, with corridors and passages connecting each group of buildings. Yi Jing didn’t have much trouble sneaking into the church.

There really weren’t many people here, it was very quiet, even the sound of the wind became noticeable.

It was only dusk now, the sun hadn’t completely set. Although the sunlight coming through the windows was a bit dim, it was still enough to see things clearly.

In the not-so-clear light, Yi Jing looked around this church.

Very old, the building materials also seemed to be deliberately imitating antiquity. At least it looked similar to what Yi Jing had seen while traveling abroad before transmigrating into the book. The stone bricks on the ground also looked very gray. Hmm, it seemed a layer of dust had really settled even the doors of the rooms were deliberately made of black wood.

Yi Jing was a bit curious and went forward to try pulling the iron ring on the door.

It didn’t budge, the door was locked.

The security of this church was done sloppily, with the main door only symbolically locked, allowing easy entry from other buildings. Could the rooms here be arranged very carefully?

Yi Jing didn’t quite believe it and quickly walked a few steps to pull on the next door.

The result was the same.

After wandering in the corridor for quite a while without finding a single door that could be opened, Yi Jing finally admitted: This church building had probably been completely abandoned, there was really nothing here.

But Yi Jing didn’t want to go back to the banquet hall like this, so she lingered in the church for a while longer.

There was nothing to do if she went back anyway.

As Yi Jing wandered back and forth in the church, she suddenly discovered that this church seemed to have a hidden space design. She was in the core area, and there seemed to be another layer of rooms further out.

Interesting…

Yi Jing strolled around, bored enough to try to find a way to the outer layer to play around.

The space inside the old church was very large. Yi Jing walked for a long time before passing a semi-open viewing platform.. Yi Jing casually swept her gaze over it and froze.

This platform was clearly one of the connecting points between the inner and outer layers. From here, Yi Jing could see the lower spaces of the outer layer, and through the open windows of the outer layer, she could see the scenery outside the church –

Yi Jing saw a person.

It was a very slender woman, with long ash-gray curly hair scattered behind her, swaying in the breeze. That back view was very beautiful, the simplest soft white shirt and black A-line skirt easily outlined her svelte figure, inexplicably making one’s heart itch.

Yi Jing froze for a moment, her heartbeat suddenly speeding up for no reason.

She realized this woman looked a bit familiar, as if she had seen her not long ago but she couldn’t remember exactly when she had seen her.

Who was that? Why did the silhouette look so familiar?

With a soft ‘scratch’ sound, the woman standing by the window moved. Her slender white fingers pinched a thin match and matchbox, lightly striking the match against the box.

The flickering light ignited between the woman’s fingers, the flame overpowering the dim light of dusk, drawing close to light the cigarette between the woman’s lips.

Perhaps the wind outside the church was still a bit strong, the woman turned her face slightly while lighting the cigarette.

Yi Jing accidentally saw that face clearly and widened her eyes.

This was Yu Miao??!

The orange flame spread from the end of the match to the tip of the cigarette, and faint white smoke gently wafted out.

The woman exhaled a puff of smoke lightly, staring a bit absently at the scenery outside the church and listlessly flicked her hand. The rapidly passing air current extinguished the nearly burnt-out match, the light suddenly going out.

A wisp of faint smoke just dissipated like that.

It was just a very natural action, Yi Jing didn’t know what was so special about it, but she inexplicably felt her heart rate accelerate.

Oh no, oh no, oh no… Was, was that Yu Miao?

Did this count as meeting her?

No, no, that’s not right.

She had never met Yu Miao before, she had only had a dream based on the description in the post earlier. How could she determine that the person in her dream was Yu Miao?

But the person from her dream actually appeared in front of her.

Yi Jing’s mind was in chaos, she couldn’t help but stare at Yu Miao in a daze.

Perhaps because her gaze was too intense, Yu Miao, who had been quietly looking out the window, seemed to sense her gaze and lightly turned to give her a look.

Yi Jing’s breath caught, completely stunned.

It really was exactly the same as in the dream. No, or rather even more eye-catching than in the dream. It was truly a very beautiful and attractive face, with a high straight nose, beautifully shaped but pale lips, dark and intense eyebrows and eyes, and slightly upturned outer corners of the eyes that looked enchantingly charming. Just a glance from afar was enough to make one’s heart melt.

Yi Jing unconsciously stared at her in a daze…

Yu Miao, who had been lost in thought by the window, was startled by her gaze. She coldly smoked her cigarette and turned to look over the young girl in a black uniform standing at the higher level, hmm, a very young girl.

Ah, a security officer.

Heh.

So young yet in such a high position, actually a politician?

Yu Miao raised her eyes slightly, taking in Yi Jing’s young, inexperienced yet arrogant face, along with that loving gaze that she thought was well-hidden but was actually very intense.

Yu Miao, who was no stranger to such affection, curved her lips almost imperceptibly, but her beautiful eyes remained completely unmoved, even flashing a trace of cold mockery.

You like me?

Well, that’s nothing special. There will always be people who develop inappropriate and filthy thoughts about her because of her face, her appearance, her figure, her pheromones and all her external attributes.

Those gazes are dirty, the hands reaching out are dirty, the other things they want to do are even dirtier!

Having such thoughts is dirty.

Although she hadn’t met this person before and had no impression of this young face but since she liked her all the same, then she could die too.

It’s fine, let them all come love her.

It’s good if they all come love her.

Yu Miao raised her head slightly, dark memories from her previous life that she couldn’t shake off even before her accidental death surging in her mind. She gave Yi Jing a charming and gentle smile.

Before this young girl, there were still many people who had said they “loved” her waiting in line.

I will drag you all down to hell with me.

A breeze blew in from outside the church, newly opened flowers falling at Yu Miao’s feet. Her long, smooth hair was lifted by the wind, brushing across that exquisitely beautiful face.

Yi Jing stared at Yu Miao in a daze, unconsciously taking a deep breath, the tips of her ears suddenly flushing red. She panicked and hid behind the wall outside the viewing platform .

Not good, her heart was beating so fast, she was so, so nervous!!
