Chapter 189: This Fish Might Be Suffering From Depression
After Sun Zi’ang fell down, the patrol officers at Ping’an Lake immediately called for an ambulance.
“What about the snakes? Should we call the fire department to handle them?” As soon as another patrol officer finished speaking, he saw several snakes swimming away in an organized and disciplined manner.
They did not show any signs of harming other people.
The two patrol officers exchanged glances, utterly shocked.
They suddenly had an illusion, as if these snakes were specifically here to deal with the man in leather pants?
Several snakes swam back to Jiang Yuan to seek praise.
After coaxing them, Jiang Yuan went to have dinner with Fu Xiaoxiao.
It was already past nine o’clock in the evening when they returned home. Jiang Die had just taken Zhan Zhan and Momo to their room to rest.
Jiang Dashan was taking a shower, and only Deng Rui was sitting in the living room watching television.
Jiang Yuan sat on the sofa, her bright eyes looking at her, and said with a smile, “Mom, shall we go to the furniture store tomorrow to arrange the furniture for the new house? We can pick a good day to move in.”
“Okay!” Deng Rui happily agreed. “It’s the weekend, so the whole family can go.”
Meanwhile, Pei Lu, who had already installed surveillance at home, sent a WeChat message to her sister-in-law, Fang Mengyuan.
Pei Lu: 【 Sister-in-law, do you have time tomorrow? I want the domestic service aunt to come and clean. 】
Five minutes later, Fang Mengyuan replied: 【 Lulu, I’m free, what time tomorrow? 】
Pei Lu: 【 Two o’clock in the afternoon tomorrow. 】
Fang Mengyuan: 【 Okay, I understand. 】
Pei Lu: 【 Thank you, sister-in-law 】
After sending the message, Pei Lu put her phone aside, hugged her knees with both hands, and had complicated feelings.
Tomorrow, when she got the surveillance footage, should she let her older brother know about all this?
The next afternoon, Pei Lu was drinking coffee at a cafe near her home, and the surveillance footage from her walk-in closet was playing on her phone.
At 1:50, Fang Mengyuan appeared in the surveillance footage, carrying a canvas bag that Pei Lu was familiar with.
Fang Mengyuan locked the room door and took out the Chanel briefcase from inside.
Pei Lu pursed her lips and saw Fang Mengyuan take down the authentic briefcase from the wall shelf and put in the briefcase she brought.
The authentic briefcase was put back into the canvas bag, and the whole process took no more than three minutes.
Fang Mengyuan left the room with the canvas bag as if nothing had happened.
Pei Lu saved this footage, her expression solemn, and she furrowed her brows in distress.
She subconsciously sent a message to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan wasn’t looking at her phone; she and her family were shopping for furniture.
With the boost of money, the shopping went exceptionally smoothly, and they could basically get anything they liked.
Deng Rui glanced at the time on her watch and suggested, “We’ve bought almost everything, and it’s getting late, let’s go.”
The group was about to leave when they noticed Zhan Zhan and Momo were attracted by the ornamental fish in a shop’s fish tank.
Jiang Yuan walked behind the two children and said with a smile, “Looking at the fish?”
“Auntie, this fish is so special!” Momo’s little milky voice was filled with excitement. “It looks just like the polka-dot pants you bought me!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan agreed, “It really does. No wonder I found this fish so familiar, it looks just like your polka-dot pants.”
The middle-aged female shop owner nearby heard this and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “You two are so funny. I spent a lot of money buying this spotted stingray, how can it look like polka-dot pants?”
“How much are these polka-dot pants?” Jiang Dashan asked. Seeing the middle-aged female shop owner’s slightly dissatisfied gaze, he quickly added, “Excuse me, I spoke too quickly. Is this spotted stingray very expensive?”
“I’m afraid you’ll be scared to death if I tell you,” the middle-aged female shop owner said proudly. “I bought it for seven hundred thousand yuan at the time.”
Jiang Dashan was a little surprised, but not enough to be scared to death. “Then your furniture business must be very profitable to spend so much money on a pair of polka-dot pants.”
“You…” The middle-aged female shop owner looked annoyed. “What do you know? A feng shui master taught me that it can bring us wealth.”
Jiang Yuan looked at her and said calmly, “This fish is thinking of committing suicide.”
The resentful voice of the freshwater spotted stingray came from the fish tank.
“So boring, meaningless, might as well die!”
“I don’t want to live anymore, fish life is meaningless!”
“…”
“Ah?” After the middle-aged female shop owner’s surprise, she smiled again. “Young lady, what are you kidding? How can a fish commit suicide?”
“Didn’t you notice it’s on a hunger strike?” Jiang Yuan tilted her chin slightly. “It basically hasn’t eaten any of the food you’ve been feeding it.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged female shop owner did frown.
She carefully recalled the freshwater spotted stingray’s diet these past few days and refuted, “Perhaps the food doesn’t suit its appetite? The young girl working in the shop told me it ate quite well yesterday!”
“Is that so?” Jiang Yuan’s tone was gentle and calm. “Since it’s a fish that cost seven hundred thousand yuan, you should pay more attention. This fish might have depression.”
“What?” The middle-aged female shop owner was surprised. “You said the fish has depression? How is that possible!”
Many people around heard the voices and curiously gathered.
“Fish can have depression too?”
“What’s going on here? What are you arguing about?”
“That’s right,” Jiang Yuan met the middle-aged female shop owner’s gaze and nodded calmly. “I suggest you take this issue seriously.”
Momo tilted her little head and asked worriedly, “Auntie, are you saying this fish is sick?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yuan touched the little one’s crown of the head. “The spotted stingray is sick.”
“Then what should we do?” Momo frowned uneasily.
The middle-aged female shop owner didn’t believe Jiang Yuan at all, thinking she was just fooling a child. “Alright, you can fool the child, but I don’t believe it.”
“You should believe her,” Zhan Zhan’s childish voice suddenly rang out, with seriousness. “Auntie, you should believe what my aunt says, it’s true, she’s not fooling a child.”
“Stop talking,” the middle-aged female shop owner looked displeased. If it weren’t for the family’s good looks, she would have kicked them out just for saying these things.
Jiang Yuan’s expression was calm, and her tone was light. “I’ve said what I needed to say, believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
After speaking, she extended her two hands to hold Zhan Zhan and Momo separately.
After they left, the middle-aged female shop owner took a cloth and wiped the fingerprints off the fish tank, feeling it was bad luck.
Out of the blue, someone said her fish had depression.
It was so annoying.
At this moment, someone from the neighboring shop suddenly exclaimed, “I remember, that girl just now was Jiang Yuan!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged female shop owner asked suspiciously, “Who?”
“An animal streamer!” The person from the neighboring shop looked surprised. “Haven’t you seen her? She can understand animal language. She probably heard your fish wanting to commit suicide and reminded you. You’re really lucky!”
“Are you joking?” The middle-aged female shop owner pouted, completely disbelieving. “How can anyone understand animal language? It’s probably a scam. You’re usually so shrewd, how can you be fooled by these things online?”
“You…” The person from the neighboring shop looked speechless. “Believe it or not, it’s not my seven hundred thousand yuan fish.”
