On Saturday, Jiang Yunshu followed the GPS coordinates to a posh neighbourhood. He was dressed in a khaki suit with a black pen attached to the jacket. Before knocking on the door, he adjusted the pen.
After a while, the door opened, and an alpha with a toothpick in its mouth grabbed Jiang Yunshu’s shoulders “Long time no see, didi.”
Jiang Yunshu was expressionless. He shrugged his shoulders to shake off the hand. “Mmm.”
Jiang Haiyun didn’t think too much about it. He looked left and right. “What’s going on? Where’s your omega?”
“Not here,” Jiang Yunshu said, “He’s not free.”
Jiang Haiyun was displeased. “What’s the matter with you? Didn’t I tell you to bring him here?” After finishing speaking, he muttered, “Fuck, I haven’t touched an omega for so long.”
Jiang Yunshu’s face turned cold, his back teeth clenched, his jawline outlining.
He remembered asking Bai Tang yesterday, and Bai Tang told him the story with difficulty, “Jiang Yunsu‘s whole family is sick in the head… Both his father and his brother are alphas, and the way they look at me…is very uncomfortable. And his older brother always touches me! I resisted his brother before and got hit.”
When Jiang Yunshu heard that, he was stunned and perplexed. Shocked at how low that spawn of hell could go, and at a loss as to how to comfort Bai Tang. For a little while, he could only squeeze Bai Tang’s hand in vain. “Where did he hit you? Hands and feet? To what extent? Did Jiang Yunsu not do anything else?”
Bai Tang made a shaky motion with his head. “He just hit me in the face… touched my legs and butt. Jiang Yunsu‘s relationship with his family is strained. In three years, I’ve only gone there twice. Once, when I was cooking, his brother walked into the kitchen and stripped me down. But Jiang Yunsu quickly arrived and threw his brother out.”
“But Jiang Yunsu didn’t do it for me!” Bai Tang exclaimed angrily. “It’s just that he looks down on his brother and thinks he’s not worthy of touching his own things.”

When Jiang Haiyun saw his look, he instantly waved his hands and exclaimed resentfully, “Forget it. If he doesn’t have the time, then forget about it.”
Jiang Yunshu entered and noticed a guy over 70 years old seated on a wooden stool, who he recognised as Jiang Yunsu‘s father, Jiang Jinsheng.
He didn’t say hello, and he didn’t even nod his head. The father who could raise these two beast sons was no better. Jiang Yunshu even felt that the house smelled like a beast. Jiang Yunshu was not a person who generalises, but as long as he thinks that these people may have hurt Bai Tang, he couldn’t face them calmly.
If it wasn’t for confirming one thing, he wouldn’t have come at all.
Jiang Jinsheng’s expression was ugly. “What, did you lose your manners when you bumped your head?”
Jiang Yunshu, “You are?”
Jiang Haiyun seemed extremely shocked that Jiang Yunsu dared to talk to Jiang Jinsheng like that. He pushed and shoved. “What’s the matter with you! This is our dad! Our dad!”
Only then did Jiang Yunshu respond, “Oh. I lost my memory, didn’t you know? How would I know who you are if you don’t introduce yourself?”

Jiang Jinsheng couldn’t accept his son talking to Laozi like this, so he threw an ashtray at Jiang Yunshu and shouted, “How DARE you talk like that, disrespectful!”

This was not the first time Jiang Yunshu has encountered such parents. Typical male chauvinist, self-centred, who stifles their children’s nature, not allowing disobedience and that everything they say should be followed. Most of them firmly believe that “a filial son is born under an iron fist”.

Jiang Yunshu didn’t come here to quarrel. He shut up and sat in the living room calmly, but as he waited Jiang Yunsu’s mother never appeared.
The information that Bai Tang had been the victim of domestic abuse had not been discovered during his investigation of this body. He assumed Jiang Yunsu‘s connection with his family was strained because of the lack of communication after the accident; later, as he focused more on his work and Bai Tang, he forgot about Jiang Yunsu‘s birth family altogether.

If this was the case, he was a full year and ten months late.
Jiang Jinsheng was still cursing when a small, hunched lady opened the kitchen door and placed the plates in her hand on the table. The woman’s face was riddled with small wrinkles, and her skin was sallow. Her dried black hair was lazily twisted into a bun. She didn’t raise her head or look anywhere else from the moment she came out to the kitchen to serve the dishes over and over again. She basically performed everything like a machine.
That face, that expression in her eyes, was even duller than Bai Tang’s in the beginning.
Likely, his worst, most distasteful suspicions would be proven correct. Jiang Yunshu feigned to be unconcerned as he fastened the pen to his collar.
“Pa!”
Jiang Jinsheng, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly slapped the woman serving the food on the face, cursing, “Look at your good son! You can’t even say hello!”
The woman was beaten to the side. For a moment, she just bowed her head and stood there without saying a word.
Jiang Haiyun took another piece of meatball and popped it into his mouth, as if nothing happened. He didn’t even look away at all.
The strength astounded Jiang Yunshu. He could even feel a gust of palm breeze, demonstrating how strong it was. He mulled over in regret. Perhaps none of this would have transpired if not for his hasty words.
Jiang Jinsheng’s rage had not yet subsided. When Jiang Yunshu saw him going to wave his hand again, he swiftly intercepted it, altered his tone, and said, “Let’s eat first. Being angry is bad for your health. We haven’t seen each other in a long time. Let’s talk.”
He drew the woman to the empty seat next to him and requested her to sit, but Jiang Jinsheng reprimanded him again, “My son’s brain has a problem, does yours as well?! Who told you you could sit down? What table do omegas like you sit on when you eat with alphas, huh?!”
The woman had gotten into the habit of obeying orders the moment she heard them. Without saying anything, she took out a little table and set it at Jiang Jinsheng’s feet.
Jiang Yunshu’s palms were completely empty. His knuckles tightened in a stony silence. He finally found out where Jiang Yunsu learnt such animal mannerisms.
During the meal, Jiang Jinsheng kicked the woman several times for no reason. Jiang Haiyun was used to it, but Jiang Yunshu’s teeth greeted in anger. There was no way to get the woman out of the family all at once, so he could only keep silent to prevent Jiang Jinsheng, this trash, from venting his anger out on the woman again.
It was very suffocating. After the meal, there were only Jiang Jinsheng’s insults and the muffled sounds of his wife being beaten. Jiang Yunshu’s head started to hurt.
After eating, he didn’t want to stay any longer. Holding back his anger, he discussed with Jiang Jinsheng, “I’ll take my mom to live with me for a few days. It’s been a long time since I saw her.”
At this moment, Jiang Haiyun sneered. “What? Take mom over there and have you beat her too? Bai Tang isn’t enough for you?”
Jiang Jinsheng said, “If you take her away, who will do the housework? Stop causing trouble! Also, if you know an omega, introduce one to your brother. Look at him! He’s already 33 years old and still not married, he’s making me ashamed!”
His father was a violent man who had abused Jiang Yunsu‘s mother in front of the children his whole life. It’s likely that Jiang Yunsu‘s aggressive nature was ingrained in him by his biological family. Jiang Haiyun, too, was exposed to the same conditions and shared the same blood. Just now, he gave no indication that he finds his father’s violent attitude towards his mother or the fact that “omegas can’t eat on the table” to be problematic.
Jiang Yunshu’s rage was about to erupt. “No, I’m leaving first; there’s still work at the company,” he said.
Since Jiang Jinsheng didn’t seem upset, he stood up to change his shoes, but was once again halted by Jiang Haiyun. “Hey Yunsu! Wait!”
Jiang Yunshu took a deep breath and remained still.
Jiang Haiyun grinned. “Yunsu, you used to just send money to my bank card every month, but suddenly you haven’t done it in the past six months. I used up all of the money in it.”
This statement has a lot of unexpected elements. Jiang Yunshu has absolutely never transferred any money into other bank cards, which means that part of the company’s income is automatically deposited into it. Then, a half a year ago, he was doing some business with the company and he halted all recurring deposits.
For a little while, Jiang Yunshu remained silent. “You don’t have a job?”
Jiang Haiyun brushed his shoe against the flowers and shrubs nearby. “I don’t want to go out to work because it’s hard and tiring.”
Jiang Yunshu went mum. “How old are you?”
Jiang Haiyun was puzzled. “33, why?”
As far as Jiang Yunshu was concerned, the funds may as well have been dumped down a drain. He wanted to go, but he was worried Jiang Haiyun would vent his rage on his mother when he returned. “The company’s income hasn’t been doing well recently,” he replied coldly. “When I return, I will transfer some to you.”
Jiang Haiyun was taken aback. “What happened to you? When I first started looking for you, you always seemed to have a cynical outlook on life and other people. This time, you’re so easy to chat to? Is the company’s revenue really bad? Didi, work harder! You can’t go bankrupt!”
Jiang Yunshu’s temples were throbbing with distress. He sat in the car with a frosty expression on his face, the veins on the back of his hand grasping the driving wheel bulging. He pressed the gas pedal, leaving only exhaust fumes for Jiang Haiyun.

Bai Tang helped sort out the materials at home. There were recently too many things to organise, and since Jiang Yunshu was too busy, he took the initiative to offer to share a few responsibilities. The alpha was at first hesitant, not because he didn’t trust in his abilities, but because he was worried about putting off his studies. In the end, Bai Tang persuaded him enough that he caved and gave him a job.
The information was many and complex, making Bai Tang’s eyes dry and uncomfortable. His typing speed on the keyboard has more than doubled in the last six weeks. The sound of a key turning came from behind him as he was infusing the fifth eye drop today. He turned around to see Jiang Yunshu rubbing his temples in frustration as he went in.
Bai Tang jumped down from the chair. “What’s wrong? Do you have a headache? Sit down, I’ll rub it for you!”
Jiang Yunshu said, “It’s okay, I’ll send the video to the lawyer to see first.”
He took off the tiny pen camera pinned to his collar and uploaded the video to his computer.
Bai Tang watched it again, and flinched uncontrollably when he saw Jiang Jinsheng beating a woman.
Jiang Yunshu pressed the top of Bai Tang’s head. “It’s okay, I’ll make a phone call first.”
Qin Zhongnan introduced the lawyer. He and Qin Zhongnan went to the same university and are both members of the group; he has experience helping omegas who have been abused by members of their own families. “Hello? Have you watched the video, Atty. Zhong? Is there anything I can do to keep her from being subjected to domestic abuse in this situation?”
Zhong Qi said, “After watching it, the best thing to do in this situation is divorce.”
“Divorce?” Jiang Yunshu said, “But won’t divorced omegas be sent to…”
“Yes, but there is another case.” Zhong Qi stated, “If a mother has been the victim of domestic violence, her son can file for divorce on her behalf, and if an alpha child objects to her being sent to a centralised breeding centre, then the plan will not be implemented. However, the candid video does not provide sufficient evidence, and there is only one hit on the video, so it is difficult to issue a divorce sentence. If she has been physically assaulted, you should take her to the hospital to be checked out and then report the incident to the authorities. Only if there are more significant injury evaluations and multiple reporting records will the case have a good chance of prevailing.”
It’s past 11 pm. Bai Tang prepared a pear soup with candied dates to relieve the alpha’s throat, but Jiang Yunshu remained outside the balcony, taking notes from time to time.
Bai Tang had recently noticed the alpha’s growing exhaustion. Every day, he’d retire to bed about 1 am and get up at 6:30 am to go to work. He was quite busy during the day at the hospital and at the organisation’s activities at night, and now there was also the lawsuit.
Bai Tang was concerned, but the only thing he could do was assist with some tasks and prepare more delectable meals.
Jiang Yunshu got off the phone. But as soon as he stepped onto the balcony, his phone rang again, this time regarding the organisation.
Bai Tang had no morning lesson the next day, so he could go home after morning reading and sleep. When the alpha wasn’t talking, Bai Tang would feed him a few mouthfuls of the pear soup and candied dates in his palm.
After finally finishing talking on the phone, Jiang Yunshu immediately went to take a shower, remembered something after taking a shower, forwarded 500 to Jiang Haiyun, and left a message: Save it.
At 1:12 in the morning, the two finally lay on the bed. Bai Tang rubbed Jiang Yunshu’s warm temples with his fingertips. He could feel the nerves under his fingers beating.
“Stop massaging it,” Jiang Yunshu took Bai Tang’s hand and held it. “Go to sleep, you have morning reading tomorrow.”
Bai Tang took the alpha’s hand and said distressedly, “It isn’t as early as yours! And you’ve been working all day with no rest…” He was now full of self-blame. He was an omega, yet the help he could give was very little.
Jiang Yunshu was very tired. Recently, he’d been exhausting himself, and now he was very much mentally exhausted. He’d been feeling exhausted ever since he performed a 16-hour high-intensity operation for two consecutive days.
Bai Tang tentatively released some comforting pheromones to soothe the alpha. The faint smell of condensed milk floated in the air.
Jiang Yunshu quickly fell asleep.
Bai Tang’s gaze traced the alpha’s outline over and over again. After a long while, he leaned over and gently touched the eyebags under the alpha’s eyes with his lips, then sat up slightly, and continued to gently massage the alpha’s temple.
I knew Jiang Yunsu’s family was scum. I hope they get what they deserve and that the mom can live a better life.
Now, imagine if Jiang Yunsu was born as an omega, and Jiang Yunshu happens to transmigrate by then. That would be a different kind of angst.
That would be a nightmare, for sure! That brother would probably just see him as an omega he doesn’t have to marry 😑.
Hopefully, things go well for Mama Jiang. Omegas don’t deserve all the bad things in the world ah.
Thank you, Bai Tang, for always looking out for Dr. Jiang! I love you both! (๑´ڡ`๑)♡
Hmmm is he really asleep tho (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Look – Bai Tang has finally found the proper use/dose of pheromones! Jiang Yunshu probably has no idea what happened ☺️.
I’m worried Mrs. Jiang might be too far gone to fully recover mentally, but it will be good to get her somewhere safe. Is she going to live with them 😳? That could put a crimp in Bai Tang’s romantic efforts haha.
Poor Mama Jiang 😭 the alphas of jiang family are nothing but SCUM!! Dr. Jiang jiayou! 💪
I’m worrying about Jiang Yunshu’s health. It’s looking too much like what happened to him in the previous world will repeat itself.
Thank you for the update!
