Chapter 77 – The Inferior Omega is Forcibly Loved by the Superior Alpha 28

After motioning for Shuang Yu to sit on the sofa, Ji Weiheng spoke with an imposing air, “I won’t hold it against you for exposing Ji Mian online. But we are family, after all. Isn’t it a bit heartless of you to not visit me and your aunt, who raised you, because you feel guilty?”

“Uncle… the… the matter at school really… really had nothing to do with me… I… how could I… I do something so… so treacherous…”

Shuang Yu seemed frightened and explained with a stutter.

The latter waved his hand impatiently, cutting him off. “It doesn’t matter if you did it or not. It’s all in the past. What I’m talking about now is your lack of filial piety!”

The underlying meaning was clear: whether he did it or not, he was blaming him for it anyway.

“I’m sorry… I… I didn’t… didn’t mean to not come back… Sch… schoolwork is very demanding… and… and I’ve been developing a new app recently…”

Shuang Yu’s face turned beet red as he explained anxiously.

“Oh? What new software?”

Ji Weiheng raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued.

Speaking of his precious project, Shuang Yu became a bit excited, and his stutter disappeared. “I’m planning to develop a software that allows people to make payments with their phones. In the future, people won’t need to carry cash. They can just use their phones to swipe a card or pay with cash. It’s very convenient for the public.”

As a businessman, Ji Weiheng immediately saw the potential of this app! If everyone used this software, and they later developed paid features, the funds they would control could even rival a bank’s! The mention of banks set Ji Weiheng off. Business had been slow in recent years, and without good projects or investments, he had been living off his savings. When it rains, it pours. His new projects were going nowhere, and then he was audited for taxes. Now he was out, but his wallet had taken a major hit. Not only did he have to pay back 1.3 billion in taxes, but he also had to pay an additional 300 million in fines. To make matters worse, the damn bank refused to give him a loan because of the tax evasion.

If he could get his hands on Ji Shuangyu’s project… A cold, greedy glint flashed in Ji Weiheng’s eyes. He knew his nephew was very smart, and this app of his would definitely be a success! He never thought the little bastard could be useful for more than just selling his body for sponsorships; his brain could be used too. In that case, the plan he had initially drawn up could be put on hold. It wouldn’t be too late to slowly squeeze every last drop of value out of this kid after he got the software.

The more Ji Weiheng thought about it, the happier he became, and a rare smile appeared on his lips. “It seems sending you to a good university wasn’t entirely useless. Just list the app you designed under our company. The later stages of testing and perfecting the software will require a lot of capital. You don’t have the money or the energy, so Uncle will help you.”

This shameless bastard really had the nerve to say that. Shuang Yu sneered inwardly but shook his head decisively.

“What, are you afraid I’ll steal your credit?”

Ji Weiheng’s eyes narrowed dangerously, clearly angered.

“My father died because of me, and his company couldn’t continue… I want to fulfill my father’s wish and restart the company. I know the road ahead will be difficult, but I won’t give up.”

“Hah, you’ve got some nerve. An Omega wants to show his face in public? What, are you planning to rely on selling your looks to succeed? Aren’t you afraid your father will be so angry he’ll rise from the dead?!”

“Uncle, please watch your tone. This isn’t the old era anymore. Why do you still think it’s shameful for an Omega to work? I have confidence in my software, and I will absolutely not sell my body without a bottom line just for success! Right now, I’m no different from a common Beta. I don’t think I can get married like other Omegas.”

Shuang Yu retorted with a frown, not as timid as he used to be.

The little bastard’s wings have hardened, he even dares to talk back to me!

Veins bulged on Ji Weiheng’s forehead, and he almost stood up and slapped him. He took several deep breaths, telling himself that he still needed to rely on this bastard to make money, so he couldn’t touch him for now. There would be plenty of opportunities later! Sooner or later, he would break this mutt’s legs and make him kneel and beg for mercy.

Shuang Yu watched his face turn various shades of red, green, and purple, finding it hilarious. Foolish human, still daydreaming!

“You’re mistaking a good person for a bad one, unable to recognize good intentions. Since you won’t accept my kindness, then forget it. You should go out and see for yourself just how terrifying the outside world is.”

Ji Weiheng snorted coldly, having finally managed to calm down. Just then, Yan Lan called them for dinner, and the uncle and nephew stopped their argument. Ji Weiheng, who never set foot in the kitchen, surprisingly stood up. “I’ll go help your aunt. You can wait in the dining room.”

In the kitchen, Yan Lan thought her husband had come to supervise her. Her face pale, she took out the potion he had given her and said tremblingly, “I-I’ll put it in now.”

“Forget it. I have another plan. I’ll let the little bastard off the hook for today,” Ji Weiheng said, raising a hand to stop her, his tone indifferent.

Having narrowly escaped, Yan Lan breathed a sigh of relief but didn’t dare to ask her husband why he had a sudden change of heart. “Then I’ll take the dishes out now.” She left happily, while the latter complained with a displeased look, “So spineless, what a useless person.” She was so flustered just from putting in a sedative. If he had asked her to poison him, she would have ruined his plans. What an idiot!

Soon, a table full of home-cooked food was served.

“Where has that kid Ji Mian gone off to again!”

Ji Weiheng rarely came home and never cared about Ji Mian, only asking about him when he needed him.

“Mianmian… Mianmian hasn’t been back for a few days…” Yan Lan said with a sad expression, remembering their unhappy parting.

“Is this how you raise your son? He’s out all the time. What will outsiders think if they find out!”

Ji Weiheng slammed his chopsticks down and immediately started blaming her. It was clearly his fault for hitting Ji Mian that caused him to run away from home, yet he blamed it all on Yan Lan. Yan Lan felt wronged and sad, and could only lower her head in silence.

The more Ji Weiheng looked at her, the more he lost his appetite. He slammed his chopsticks on the table. “Not only are you incompetent, but the food you cook is as bland and tasteless as you are. It’s disgusting. I think you’re deliberately trying to spite me.”

Muttering curses, he stood up to leave.

“Honey, where are you going?”

Yan Lan choked back her tears and quickly got up to follow him.

“I have a social engagement. I won’t be back tonight.”

He slammed the door and left.

Bang—

The main door was shut. Yan Lan stared at it, utterly devastated, and the tears she had been holding back finally streamed down her face. Everyone praised her for her good fortune. Although her husband was just a Beta, his abilities surpassed those of a typical Alpha. His business was thriving, and she didn’t have to worry about anything, just enjoy life as a rich man’s wife at home. But who could have known how much sorrow and helplessness lay behind this seemingly happy family? Her husband despised her, her son looked down on her, and in this huge house, she was all alone. This wasn’t a home; it was a prison that confined her!
