Xie Rongyu, their mother, will be going to court with their father in a few days.

Jiang Yujin sat on the sofa, head down, nervously biting his fingers. He didn't know when, but the atmosphere between his two older brothers had become strange.

"Stop biting your fingers." Jiang Xienan roughly slapped his hand away. "You've bitten them until they bleed, can't you see?"

Jiang Rongzhou handed him a tissue, asking, "What happened to your clothes?"

As they got closer, his brothers naturally noticed the marks on the back of his neck.

Jiang Rongzhou narrowed his eyes. The marks on his younger brother's body were more obvious than last time. Although there were suppression patches on his glands to cover them up, it was just a charade. After an omega is temporarily marked by an alpha, the other party's pheromones are emitted from the inside out, like a leader marking out his territory and not allowing it to be violated.

"I'm not the one who's in a hurry right now," Jiang Yujin couldn't see what was behind him and wanted to lie to cover it up, but then he remembered that alphas are naturally very sensitive. "Big brother! I'm dating someone properly, and I'll introduce them to Mom and you guys later, so what's going on now? Were you guys arguing just now?"

“Our business isn’t that important,” Jiang Xie’nan contradicted him at this moment, looking at Jiang Yujin with an ambiguous gaze, as if trying to see something from him.

"In short, the other party should be a good match for our family, and he is a nice person, mainly because he is good to me."

Jiang Yujin thought about Liang Dongmo's usual expenses, and his confident promise made Jiang Rongzhou worry.

Omega is spoiled at home. Now he's dating someone outside, and before even introducing him to his family for their approval, he's already completely devoted to her. He's going to suffer later.

Besides, how many good alphas are there in the capital city who are well-matched? There are plenty of philanderers out there.

"I really want to meet him to see what kind of person he is, since my younger brother likes him so much." Jiang Xiennan became interested.

Too much has happened in this period of time, and Jiang Rongzhou was not in a position to break up the couple at this time. He was afraid that Jiang Yujin would leave home in a fit of pique and cause trouble again, so he had no choice but to put on a stern face and say, "After things have calmed down with Mom and Dad, let's take her home for a meal so that we can see her properly."

The scent of the pheromones that Jiang Yujin liked smelled strangely familiar. It was a fruity fragrance that reminded Jiang Rongzhou of several names, but he couldn't quite place it.

"My temper has improved since my younger brother started dating. I wish I had found him a suitable alpha sooner."

"You'll mature once you get married. Don't you think so, big brother?"

Jiang's second son's words made sense, but there was something strange about them, though they weren't directed at Jiang Yujin.

Jiang Yujin was completely oblivious to the worry in Jiang Rongzhou's eyes, and buried her head in charging her already dead phone.

This was the first time he had ever heard such kind words, which shouldn't be taken too seriously, come from his second brother's mouth.

Upon closer inspection, it still feels somewhat... strange and unsettling.

Jiang Yujin thought to himself, "The only people in this family who truly care about me are my mother and my eldest brother."

As for his second brother, Jiang Xienan, he often contradicted him and only listened to his eldest brother from childhood to adulthood, sometimes even ignoring his parents' words.

-

On the surface, they appear to be a happy and harmonious wealthy family.

Jiang Rongzhou said that his father, Jiang Jianxing, had an illegitimate son who had just turned five.

The law stipulates that even if a child is the product of adultery, an illegitimate child born out of wedlock is entitled to a share of the inheritance.

"How could you possibly do this?" Jiang Yujin was furious upon hearing the news.

"Jiang Mo said that her parents are going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce in a few days. Why do they have to go to court..."

"Jiang Mo actually lied to me!" Jiang Yujin realized what was happening. "She really isn't a good person..."

He no longer holds any shares in the company; his shares were transferred to Jiang Mo's name long ago by Jiang Jianxing.

"Don't say anything careless when the time comes. Stay by Mom's side and don't wander off. Mom loves you the most," Xie Rongzhou instructed.

Choosing sides at this point is crucial; the company's shareholding can completely eliminate the loser.

Unless both parties are willing to see each other frequently at the company.

The company was started by Xie Rongyu and Jiang Jianxing. It was an achievement they made without relying on their families. After Xie Rongyu became pregnant, she handed it over to Jiang Jianxing.

Jiang Mo was prepared to kick someone out of the game and sided with Jiang Jianxing.

No wonder Jiang Jianxing was so eager to bring Jiang Mo back.

Jiang Jianxing never intended for them to support him in his old age. Apart from family, for a businessman, it's enough to keep the most valuable things in his own hands.

Because of the uneven distribution of assets, the once loving couple chose to go through legal proceedings to reclaim their share of the property and the distribution of their shared children after the husband's infidelity.

The court hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. next Thursday, and everyone in the family is required to attend.

Jiang Yujin had to go to school tomorrow and was sent back to his room before 10 a.m. He still couldn't get through to Liang Dongmo's phone; the number was disconnected. He didn't have any other contact information for Liang Dongmo. After confirming the number was correct, he dialed again, but it was still disconnected...

My stomach growled and I realized I hadn't eaten dinner yet. My mom wasn't home, and my brothers weren't going to let me eat either.

The newly hired maid didn't live at home and had already left by now. Jiang Yujin walked out of the room, intending to go downstairs to the kitchen to find herself something to eat.

As Jiang Yujin reached the stairwell, he heard a strange cry. Only a crack in Jiang Xienan's room allowed a beam of light to shine through.

Jiang Yujin smelled the bergamot scent of Jiang Xienan's pheromones. He was all flamboyant and didn't care at all that there was an omega brother in the house. Luckily, Jiang Yujin had a mark on him, otherwise he would have lost control.

"..."

Jiang Yujin didn't understand at first, but as the noise in the room grew more intense and louder, he couldn't resist his curiosity. He quickly glanced around and ran downstairs, his face flushed. He wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of thing; he understood it pretty well.

"Bringing people back to mess around at a time like this..." Jiang Xienan really doesn't know the situation; all he can think about is playing with omegas.

When he got to the kitchen, he poured himself a glass of water. The cold water made him feel much more awake and his complexion improved.

After thinking it over, Jiang Yujin decided to tell his older brother about it when he got home from school tomorrow.

There were no leftovers in the refrigerator, only fresh seasonal fruit. Jiang Yujin immediately spotted a large peach in the corner. He wasn't very good at cooking, so he decided to eat a peach to tide him over.

-

During the days that he lost contact with Liang Dongmo, Jiang Yujin was in a bad mood.

After being marked, an omega without the comfort of a mate's pheromones for a long time feels an unbearable itch, as if tens of thousands of ants are crawling inside his skin.

Having tasted the sweetness, they couldn't stop themselves from doing it.

Jiang Yujin didn't want to make a big fuss about finding someone, in case Jiang Rongzhou found out and thought Liang Dongmo was unreliable, he would object and prevent them from being together.

After repeatedly using Liang Dongmo's busy schedule as an excuse to brush him off, Jiang Yujin finally couldn't take it anymore.

A sudden, abrupt breakup; they weren't even willing to say goodbye face-to-face.

Is Jiang Yujin really that good-tempered?

Jiang Yujin didn't go home. After school, he squatted by the roadside and sent a long breakup message to the only number he knew.

This kind of aloof and disappearing alpha is someone he actively rejected.

The temporary markers on his glands had almost disappeared, and the scent of the alpha's pheromones on him was so faint that it was almost undetectable.

Jiang Yujin soaked in the bathtub, washing away all her fatigue.

Jiang Yujin didn't pay attention to the shower gel. He squeezed it into his hand and smelled it before realizing that the shower gel in his hand was not the one he usually used.

The outer packaging of the shower gel hasn't been changed, but someone has tampered with the liquid inside.

"Liang, Dong, Mo!" The omega in the bathtub gritted his teeth. If he wanted to avoid him, he should stay far away.

Jiang Yujin was unaware that when he threw the shower gel in his hand, it hit a spot that was faintly flashing red.

"Pervert."
