Chapter 164: Destroying Cousin’s Marriage
Qiuqiu stayed by Jiang Yilan’s side.
Fu Xiaoxiao was reluctant to leave, but she knew Jiang Yilan needed Qiuqiu more than she did.
Jiang Yuan returned to Yongshan Village to fulfill her promise to Bamboo Leaf Green Snake. Afterward, she flew back to Yun Jing with Fu Xiaoxiao, Xiao Xu, and Chen Ziqi.
She handed Little Mo Yan over to Si Heng to take back to Yun Jing. They would stay in Tiannan Province for a few more days to handle matters and drive the car back.
The moment Jiang Yuan entered the house, she was surrounded by several furballs.
“Yuan Yuan, you’re finally back! We missed you so much!”
“Yuan Yuan wants hugs!”
“Wuwuwu, I thought you didn’t want us anymore…”
Jiang Yuan chuckled and crouched down to pet each of them. “I won’t abandon you, don’t think too much about it.”
Blueberry circled her, its fluffy face scrunched up. “Yuan Yuan, do you have other cats outside?”
Xixi and Xiao Bai became anxious upon hearing this.
“Really or fake?”
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Yuan blinked her eyes, her gaze falling on Blueberry, and asked curiously, “Why do you say that?”
Blueberry meowed seriously, “You have another animal’s scent on you. You haven’t been here these past few days, did you go to be with another animal?”
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt like a husband who stayed out all night, being interrogated by his wife.
Pipi, acting as a peacemaker, said, “Don’t get agitated. Maybe there’s a misunderstanding? Let’s hear what Yuan Yuan has to say first.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yuan confessed. “I did hug other cats outside these past few days.”
Blueberry got a little angry. “You didn’t come back for so many days, just to be with cats outside?”
“Of course not, I was working outside, handling serious business,” Jiang Yuan explained.
“Did that include hugging other cats?” Xixi asked, feeling wronged.
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and replied, “That was also part of the work.”
“Then, then do you like that cat?” Xiao Bai asked the most sensitive question.
Blueberry and Xixi stared at her with their round cat pupils, looking nervous.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “That cat is very lovely, of course, I like her.”
Blueberry and Xixi inwardly thought, “Not good! We’ll have another one competing for favor at home!”
“Will you bring her back?” Xiao Bai continued to ask.
Jiang Yuan shook her head. “No, she has her own owner, and she loves her owner very much.”
Blueberry and Xixi breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously.
“Alright, you guys play. I’m going to the restroom,” Jiang Yuan said, quickly entering the restroom.
Blueberry looked at the closed door and turned to Xixi and Xiao Bai. “Was Yuan Yuan hinting at something just now?”
“What?” Xiao Bai tilted its head slightly. “Hinting?”
“What does it mean?” Xixi also didn’t understand.
“You’re so dumb!” Blueberry disdainfully swatted them with a paw and meowed softly, “Yuan Yuan just said that cat loves her owner, does she think we don’t love her enough?”
“Ah!” Xiao Bai barked in surprise. “Really? I love Yuan Yuan very much!”
Xixi nodded vigorously. “I love Yuan Yuan too!”
After careful consideration, Blueberry analyzed, “Maybe we don’t love her obviously enough, and Yuan Yuan hasn’t felt it.”
“Then what should we do?” Xiao Bai asked, staring at it doubtfully.
Blueberry said righteously, “I don’t know.”
The three furballs looked at Pipi in unison. “Do you know?”
Before Pipi could answer, a voice came from the ecological tank. “Turtle knows.”
Jiang Yuan took a comfortable bath and sat cross-legged on the sofa.
The house was quiet, so she made a phone call to Deng Rui.
“Mom, where are you?”
“Yuan Yuan?” Deng Rui answered the call and spoke from a quiet corner. “Are you back?”
Jiang Yuan: “Yes, I just got home.”
Deng Rui: “I’m at second cousin’s house.”
“Then you guys carry on,” Jiang Yuan said, not interested in these relatives.
“Don’t hang up yet,” Deng Rui said softly. “There’s some gossip here, do you want to come?”
Speaking of gossip, Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. “Tell me first.”
“Ah Chong might be getting married,” Deng Rui said with a smile. “His girlfriend is pregnant, and her parents have already come to discuss the marriage.”
Jiang Yuan: “What does his girlfriend do? You introduced him to a female accountant before, did he look down on her?”
“Exactly!” Deng Rui’s tone held a bit more surprise. “I heard his girlfriend is a teacher, her family is well-off, her parents are in business, and they’re even buying them a bridal chamber with cash.”
“With his background, how did he find such a good girlfriend?”
“I find it strange too, do you want to come see?”
“I won’t go, it’s boring.”
Jiang Yuan felt very tired these past few days and would rather stay home and rest.
As soon as the call ended, the system assigned a mission.
【System 009: Triggered LV2 New Mission: Sabotage Cousin’s Marriage. Mission Reward: 50 Points, 500,000 Cash. Mission Time Limit: 5 Hours. Mission Penalty: Suffocation.】
Jiang Yuan: “…”
“Isn’t this mission too unreasonable?”
【System 009: All missions that can help you turn things around are reasonable.】
Jiang Yuan really couldn’t be bothered to complain.
At this moment, Blueberry brought a bag of snacks and placed it in her arms.
Jiang Yuan glanced at it and said helplessly, “These are spicy, you can’t eat them.”
Blueberry: “I’m not eating them.”
Jiang Yuan frowned in confusion. “Then who is eating them?”
Blueberry blinked its cat pupils and replied in a chipmunk voice, “For you to eat.”
Jiang Yuan nodded. “Okay, but I don’t have an appetite right now, I’ll eat them later.”
As soon as she put the snacks on the coffee table, she saw Xiao Bai push a can of children’s milk powder in front of her.
Jiang Yuan reminded, “Xiao Bai, that’s for Zhan Zhan and Momo to drink.”
Xiao Bai asked in confusion, “Can’t Yuan Yuan drink it?”
It heard Zhan Zhan and Momo say it was delicious.
Jiang Yuan chuckled and patted its head, explaining, “Xiao Bai, this is children’s milk powder. I’m an adult now.”
“Okay,” Xiao Bai said dejectedly and pushed the milk powder back to its original spot.
Xixi brought a little fish toy and placed it on her lap. “Yuan Yuan, this is for you to play with, it’s my favorite toy.”
“Thank you, Xixi. You play with it first, I’ll play with it next time,” Jiang Yuan said, standing up and going to her room to change her clothes. As she changed her shoes, she said, “I’m going out. You guys watch the house.”
The furballs watched her figure disappear quickly, not even having time to ask if she was going to hug other cats again or how long she would be back.
Jiang Yuan sat in the car, driving and calling Deng Rui. “Mom, are you still at second cousin’s house? I’m coming over now.”
“We’re still here, still here!” Deng Rui hung up the phone and, facing the curious gazes of the relatives, said with a smile, “My Yuan Yuan is coming over.”
A relative asked meaningfully, “Isn’t it a workday today? Doesn’t your Jiang Yuan have to work?”
“Jiang Yuan is almost twenty-four after the New Year, shouldn’t she find a proper job?”
“I heard Jiang Yuan has dated several boyfriends? Is that true?”
