Chapter 27: I Have Other Ways To Deal With Her
The red BMW was parked at the entrance of the pet hospital.
Jiang Yuan was about to get out of the car when Si Heng suddenly called.
Si Heng: “Miss Jiang, the murderer of Zou Yueming has been caught.”
Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”
Si Heng briefly explained the situation.
Zou Yueming met Xu Li during his night runs in the park. They were of similar age, their jobs were not going smoothly, and neither of them were locals, so they had a lot in common.
That night, Zou Yueming couldn’t help but share his lottery winnings with Xu Li.
He wanted to use this to encourage the equally confused Xu Li, believing that good luck would eventually come.
Xu Li became more and more jealous as he thought about it, and thus developed wicked intentions.
He used a towel to strangle Zou Yueming to death by suffocation.
Xu Decai knew about this and worried that his son hadn’t cleaned up properly, so he went to the park to check. He found Xixi digging soil there and tried to drive it away.
Because he was uneasy, he went to the park several times a day.
Jiang Yuan happened to encounter him once.
She put down her mobile phone, walked into the foster area, and saw Xixi lying listlessly in the cat bed, as if she had given up on the whole world.
The attendant told Jiang Yuan that Xixi was refusing to eat and could only be given nutrient injections.
Jiang Yuan walked up to the cat cage and said in a low voice, “Xixi, the murderer of your master has been caught.”
Xixi’s tail twitched, and its meow was muffled, “But master can’t come back to life.”
Jiang Yuan pressed her lips together, unsure how to comfort the cat.
Xixi’s cat eyes were half-open, half-closed, “The cat wants to find its master.”
Jiang Yuan furrowed her slender eyebrows, “Your master must not want to see you like this.”
Xixi looked up, then lay back down, “Master can’t see anymore.”
Jiang Yuan sighed, “Perhaps, he is watching you from a place you cannot see, and he must really hope that you can be well.”
A deep, drawn-out wail sounded.
Xixi was crying for its master.
Jiang Yuan was silent for a long time, and said softly, “If you are willing, you can follow me from now on.”

Seeing Jiang Yuan carrying Xixi into the house, Deng Rui’s mood was about to break down.
“Jiang Yuan, don’t tell me this cat is also one you picked up!”
“Yes…” Jiang Yuan felt guilty.
Deng Rui clutched her chest, too angry to speak.
Jiang Yuan chuckled, “It’s the same to raise one cat or two, two are more lively.”
Deng Rui said annoyedly, “We can only choose between having cats in our house or having you!”
Xixi discovered that the new master’s family did not welcome it.
It was extremely disappointed.
In this world, no one would like it as much as its master.
Jiang Yuan perceived the kitten’s emotions and rubbed its head, “Xixi, this is my mom, Ms. Deng, who is tough on the outside but soft-hearted.”
Xixi’s cat ears drooped as it curled up in her arms, appearing unwilling to communicate.
Jiang Yuan carried it into the room.
The bay window had been tidied into a cat bed, where Blueberry was lying lazily. Seeing the new member, it immediately jumped onto the floor.
Blueberry: “You have other cats outside? And you brought it home?”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Why did that sound so strange?
Xixi was a little surprised.
It didn’t expect that this family also had cats.
After settling Xixi in, Jiang Yuan turned to Blueberry and said, “Let’s talk outside.”
In the living room, one person and one cat stared intently at Jiang Yuan.
She coughed lightly and explained, “Xixi is in a special situation, its master was murdered.”
Deng Rui looked astonished.
Blueberry, on the other hand, was quite calm.
Back then, its previous master was also almost murdered.
It seemed Xixi was in the same boat as it.
Jiang Yuan explained Xixi’s situation.
“What?” Deng Rui looked at her in shock, “It told you?”
Jiang Yuan nodded, her expression serious, “To be honest, I am proficient in various animal languages.”
Deng Rui raised her hand to touch her forehead, then her daughter’s forehead, “Are you feverish, or am I?”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She guessed Deng Rui wouldn’t believe her, so she pulled Blueberry to prove herself.
Deng Rui sat on the sofa, stunned for a full five minutes.
Her daughter could understand animals talking?
This was too incredible!
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and transferred one hundred thousand yuan to her Alipay.
With a “swish,” the sound of money arriving pulled Deng Rui back to her senses.
She picked up her mobile phone and saw the message, raising her hand to rub her eyes in disbelief.
Deng Rui looked at her phone, then at her daughter.
Jiang Yuan said smilingly, “This is the pet consultation fee I collected the day before yesterday, take it to spend.”
“All for me?” Deng Rui was overjoyed.
Jiang Yuan nodded.
Deng Rui immediately cheered, “My daughter is so accomplished! She can earn money for me to spend!”
After dinner that day, Deng Rui went downstairs for a stroll and couldn’t help but share with her neighbors that her daughter was earning money for her to spend.
Unexpectedly, when the neighbors heard this, they looked at her with hesitation.
Deng Rui sensed something was wrong with their reactions, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
A neighbor who was close to her said in a low voice, “Sister Deng, the day before yesterday, we were afraid it would affect your mood if you heard, so we didn’t dare to tell you.”
Deng Rui frowned, “What is it?”
Neighbor: “Sister Cao told us she saw Jiang Yuan on a date with an old man in the park. That old man was hugging and holding her, and then transferred one hundred thousand yuan to Jiang Yuan!”
Another neighbor: “Yes, Sister Deng, has Jiang Yuan acted foolishly in a moment of confusion?”
“Nonsense!” Deng Rui was furious, “Sister Cao Laoting’s mouth is full of shit, spewing garbage! My daughter’s money is clean!”
She angrily went to Cao Laoting’s house, but their door was shut tight and wouldn’t open no matter how much she knocked.
“Rui, what’s wrong?” Jiang Dashan saw his wife go out happily and come back grumpily, he was a little worried.
Deng Rui leaned back on the sofa, arms crossed, and said angrily, “Jiang Dashan, if you dare to drink with anyone surnamed Wang again next time, try it!”
“No, what on earth happened?” Jiang Dashan looked bewildered.
Deng Rui recounted the whole story, gritting her teeth, “That stinking woman has ruined the reputation of both our daughters!”
Jiang Dashan also looked solemn, “This is too much!”
Blueberry, who had been lying in the other corner of the sofa, listened to the whole story, then leaped to the ground and ran into the room to report.
Jiang Yuan leaned against the bedside, listening, her brow furrowed.
She didn’t expect Cao Laoting to be so fond of causing trouble.
Blueberry said fiercely, “That stinking woman is too much!”
Xixi listened blankly. To fit into this family, it quietly mumbled, “Did someone bully master?”
Blueberry turned to look at it, “Yes, that fat, stinking woman, she’s very bad.”
It also boasted to Xixi about its glorious deed of peeing all over Cao Laoting.
Xixi’s cat eyes were full of admiration, “Sister Blueberry is so powerful!”
Blueberry modestly waved its paws, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
After saying that, it volunteered, “Yuan Yuan, do you want me to go pee on her again!”
Jiang Yuan was amused, “She’s so bad, what if she catches you and stews you for soup?”
Blueberry couldn’t help but tremble.
Xixi said fearfully, “No, no, no!”
“Don’t worry, I have other ways to deal with her.” Jiang Yuan’s white and tender fingers stroked her chin, her gaze flickering.
