Chapter 148: The Mutual Effort Tiger
“Director Wei.” Jiang Yuan nodded slightly towards her.
“Yi Wei said you helped a lot again.” Wei Fangfei said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan let out a light laugh, “It wasn’t a big help.”
Wei Fangfei stood up and walked to her side, saying softly, “To you, it might just be a small matter, but it is not to me.”
Jiang Yuan blinked, unsure how to respond.
“This is my thank you gift.” Wei Fangfei suddenly took out a thick red envelope from her coat pocket. “Please, you must accept it.”
Now, she was no longer the money-grubbing Jiang Yuan.
She raised her hand to push it back and calmly explained, “Director Wei, those tigers are my friends. It’s only right that I help them; there’s no need for this.”
“But you never accept anything, and I feel embarrassed.” Wei Fangfei had tried to give Jiang Yuan gifts several times without success.
“Anyway, I won’t accept it,” Jiang Yuan said, raising an eyebrow. “If you gave me a big tiger, I might accept it.”
Wei Fangfei knew she was joking and playfully chided, “Giving a big tiger is probably difficult. Do you want a mother tiger?”
“You?” Jiang Yuan immediately shook her head. “I dare not have you.”
“Linjin Zoo sent over Cui Hua’s video.” Gu Yiwei said excitedly, “The lovesick tiger cub can finally meet its dream girl tiger!”
Gu Yiwei quickly forwarded the video to Jiang Yuan and strode up to her. “Consultant Jiang, I need to trouble you to enter the tiger garden again.”
“A small matter.” Jiang Yuan clicked open Cui Hua’s video and began watching.
In the video, Cui Hua was lying on the ground, looking listless.
Jiang Yuan said softly, “Cui Hua’s state seems similar to Hu Yang’s, whom I just saw. Is she also missing Hu Yang?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Cui Hua in the video let out a low growl from her throat: “Hu Yang, where did you go?”
Jiang Yuan laughed.
Gu Yiwei and Wei Fangfei both looked at her curiously.
Jiang Yuan turned her head to meet their gaze and said smilingly, “Hu Yang isn’t in unrequited love; it’s a mutual effort between them.”
“Really!” Gu Yiwei was overjoyed, doing a spinning jump. “Great, I don’t have to be so humble when talking to Linjin.”
Jiang Yuan and Wei Fangfei were both amused by his words.
Jiang Yuan took the video to find Hu Yang.
Hearing that the one he liked was also missing him, Hu Yang was extremely excited and kept roaring at Cui Hua in the video.
“Cui Hua, Tiger misses you too! Tiger really misses you, Tiger even dreams of watching the starry sky with you!”
“Cui Hua, can you hear me? Yuan Yuan has already agreed to let Tiger meet you!”
“Cui Hua! Tiger likes you, Tiger misses you…”
Jiang Yuan pressed her lips together, hesitating in her heart whether to tell Hu Yang that Cui Hua couldn’t understand anything he was saying.
As Jiang Yuan was leaving the tiger garden, she was stopped by Wei Fangfei.
“If you won’t accept my thank you gift, you can at least have dinner with me, right?”
Jiang Yuan found it amusing and nodded, “Yes, I can.”
After dinner, upon returning to Fuze Garden, Jiang Yuan parked the car and went upstairs. She took Deng Rui’s electric scooter key and drove to the express delivery station to pick up a pile of packages to bring home.
Jiang Dashan came downstairs to help her carry the packages and asked with a frown, “What did you buy? It’s so heavy!”
Jiang Yuan: “It’s all pet supplies.”
“Nothing for me?” Jiang Dashan said casually.
Jiang Yuan paused, turned back, and asked, “What do you want? I’ll buy it for you.”
“Buy what?” Deng Rui stood at the door, having heard the father and daughter’s conversation. She crossed her arms and glanced at Jiang Dashan, “You want your daughter to buy something for you?”
The latter immediately became submissive and chuckled, “Nothing, I didn’t buy anything. You’ve arranged all my food, clothes, and daily necessities; I’m not lacking anything.”
“It’s good that you know,” Deng Rui said, reaching out to help Jiang Yuan with the packages.
“No need, it’s not heavy.” Jiang Yuan placed the packages on the ground. “Don’t unpack them yet, I’m going to take a shower.”
After drying her hair, Jiang Yuan lay in bed, intending to play on her phone before sleeping. She saw several WeChat messages from Si Heng.
Li He’an managed to leave his remote mountainous region in Tiannan Province by getting into university.
He now has a new girlfriend.
I asked Xiaokai to go talk to him, and he said he broke up with Jiang Yilan long ago, the breakup date was February 10th.
After reading these messages, Jiang Yuan tossed and turned all night. The next morning, she went to find Fu Xiaoxiao without even eating breakfast.
To be precise, she went to find Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu was wearing a beautiful puffy skirt and a cute little hairpin; Jiang Yuan almost didn’t recognize her.
She squatted in front of Qiuqiu, playing with its strawberry hairpin, and couldn’t help but tease, “Girls really do change a lot.”
“Doesn’t it look good!” Fu Xiaoxiao said triumphantly. “If you send me Lanmei and Xixi, I guarantee I can transform them into princess kittens.”
“It would be nice if Lanmei and Xixi became princess kittens.” Jiang Yuan took the hairpin from Qiuqiu’s head and clipped it onto Fu Xiaoxiao’s hair, saying with a smile, “But it’s not quite suitable for Qiuqiu to dress like this.”
“Why is that?” Fu Xiaoxiao looked at her with her beautiful big eyes, her gaze subtly showing a hint of pure foolishness.
Jiang Yuan: “Because Qiuqiu is a boy.”
Fu Xiaoxiao: “…”
“No wonder!” She looked like she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “No wonder Qiuqiu turned its head away every time I held up a mirror for it to see how pretty it was.”
Case closed, case closed!
Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Qiuqiu and finally noticed its resentful expression.
She quickly apologized, “Qiuqiu, I’m sorry. Sister was confused. Sister will take off the little hairpin now.”
Fu Xiaoxiao put away the hairpin and took off its puffy skirt. “Will Sister buy you a handsome new outfit, okay?”
Qiuqiu meowed glumly: “As long as you’re happy.”
Fu Xiaoxiao immediately looked at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan understood and translated, “Qiuqiu says, as long as you’re happy.”
“Wuwu, Qiuqiu is so good.” Fu Xiaoxiao pecked its fluffy face, “Sister loves you!”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She suddenly felt that Fu Xiaoxiao was very suitable for raising pets.
She herself would never be like this with the furballs at home.
Fu Xiaoxiao picked up her phone and started browsing online for small suits suitable for Qiuqiu.
Jiang Yuan watched her for a while, her gaze falling on the languidly lying Chinchilla cat. She said softly, “Qiuqiu, I have something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?” Qiuqiu propped its head up and turned to look at her.
Jiang Yuan’s tone was serious, “You told me last time that Xiao Lan fostered you at a friend’s house because she was going on a long trip with her boyfriend, right?”
The topic was Xiao Lan, so Qiuqiu got up and walked in front of Jiang Yuan, squatting opposite her, its round cat eyes gazing at her intently.
“That’s right, that’s exactly how it was!”
Jiang Yuan: “Do you know what Xiao Lan’s boyfriend’s name is?”
Qiuqiu frowned and thought for a moment, “It seems to be something like Hang, Xiao Lan always calls him A Hang.”
