Chapter 159: Plant Pet Beast Food Rations
The Liu family and the Song family have had friction this time, and their relationship is already strained, though it hasn’t erupted publicly.
Song Ranran had also spoken to Song Tiantian about this matter, but Song Tiantian didn’t care; the Law Enforcement Bureau would handle it in the end.
After all, Liu Ming was the one who poisoned Song Jun first.
Mother Song originally didn’t want to come to find Song Tiantian; she knew Song Tiantian disliked her.
However, Liu Ming was the only son of her elder brother.
If this matter wasn’t handled well, Liu Ming would go to jail.
Poisoning is a serious crime.
Mother Song hoped this matter could be dropped, just like with Song Jiaojiao and Song Tiantian back then. Song Tiantian was living well, and nothing had happened; they just needed to not see each other.
But Mother Song couldn’t see Song Tiantian, and no one was willing to inform her.
Shen Qing had contacted Song Tiantian once before, and Song Tiantian had told him not to disturb her with such trivial matters in the future. If he couldn’t do that, he could find someone else.
Shen Qing was an intelligent person and immediately understood Song Tiantian’s intentions.
Song Tiantian and Mother Song did not have a good relationship. Mother Song had even caused a scene at the Pet Beast Center when Song Tiantian used to work there.
Shen Qing remembered this incident.
Shen Qing had never seen Song Tiantian frown; she always seemed to be smiling when facing anyone or any situation.
Therefore, when Song Tiantian frowned, Shen Qing understood the seriousness of the matter.
“Director Shen, I am Song Tiantian’s biological mother. How can she be so heartless and refuse to see me?”
Mother Song tightly gripped Shen Qing’s sleeve, her eyes red, and said to him.
“Auntie, our Boss is very busy. She is in a critical period of closed-door cultivation. If she is forcibly disturbed, she might go berserk. She isn’t refusing to see you.”
Shen Qing felt speechless.
Did Mother Song herself have any idea why Song Tiantian refused to see her?
Both sides were Song Tiantian’s relatives. Whichever side Song Tiantian helped, it would be detrimental to the other.
“But Liu Ming is her biological cousin! This is a very minor matter, not even a real issue. Song Jun is perfectly fine, and Liu Ming didn’t do it intentionally; he was misled! As long as Tiantian says a word, this matter will be over.”
Mother Song completely ignored what Shen Qing was saying and only spoke about herself.
To avoid her, Song Ranran had already left before Mother Song arrived.
Now that Mother Song couldn’t find anyone else at the Pet Beast Center, she could only talk to Shen Qing.
Song Jing rubbed her temples, forced a smile, and stepped forward, taking Mother Song’s arm.
Regardless, Mother Song was Song Tiantian’s mother.
When Song Ranran left, she had specifically asked Song Jing to look after Mother Song.
In this matter, Song Jing certainly sided with Song Jun. They were relatives, yet they used the trust between relatives to poison them.
“Auntie, please don’t trouble Supervisor Shen. He manages the affairs of five thousand people at the Pet Beast Center and is very busy every day with many things.”
Mother Song saw Song Jing beside her, let out a sigh of relief, and said tearfully to Song Jing, “Jing, you are so much better than my two ungrateful girls.”
“Auntie, Tiantian and Ranran are just too busy with too many things. Ranran knew you were coming and was very happy. She prepared a lot of food for me to bring to you, but she just couldn’t get away.”
Song Jing certainly couldn’t speak ill of Song Tiantian and Song Ranran.
Moreover, in Song Jing’s opinion, Mother Song was too incompetent. Solving this matter was simple: directly approach Song Jun and his family.
Given Mother Song’s status as Song Tiantian’s mother, Song Jun’s family would surely give Mother Song face if they wanted to remain at the Pet Beast Center in the future.
But Mother Song didn’t go to Song Jun’s family; she came directly to Song Tiantian.
The key issue was that her relationship with Song Tiantian was not good, and she had already been blocked.
She had also heard about the past incident between Mother Song and Song Tiantian and knew that Mother Song had always favored Song Jiaojiao. However, this was Mother Song’s family matter, so she couldn’t comment or interfere.
Song Jing felt that Song Tiantian had already been very generous by not supporting Song Jiaojiao and by completely letting the matter go.
Although Song Tiantian was living well now, if she had lost even a little of that luck, her life would have been ruined.
Even more outrageous was that Mother Song, knowing full well that Song Jiaojiao had harmed Song Tiantian, remained silent.
Instead, she accompanied Song Jiaojiao to make a scene at the Pet Beast Center where Song Tiantian worked, intending to get Song Tiantian fired.
If they had succeeded then, Song Tiantian would never have been able to recover in her life.
Song Jing felt it was normal for Song Tiantian to hate Mother Song.
In reality, Mother Song had many opportunities to make amends. Song Tiantian still returned home occasionally.
However, from Mother Song’s constant complaints, Song Jing knew that Mother Song had made no attempts to rectify the situation.
Song Jing understood that Mother Song probably felt that as Song Tiantian’s mother, Song Tiantian should unconditionally treat her well, no matter what Mother Song did.
“Jing, tell me, what can I possibly eat right now? Ranran is truly venomous. Even with her cousin in this state, she can still eat and prepare things.”
Mother Song put on a pained expression and refused to leave, and Song Jing dared not force her away.
Song Jing couldn’t understand how such a foolish Mother Song could have given birth to such excellent daughters as Song Tiantian and Song Ranran.
“Auntie, the Law Enforcement Bureau has already intervened in this matter, and Ranran and Tiantian can’t do anything to help. Also, the investigation results are not out yet, so Liu Ming might not be guilty. Don’t overthink it. If you keep sitting here, it won’t be good for Ranran and Tiantian either.”
“Jing, I truly feel distressed and bitter!”
Mother Song didn’t want to move, but she glanced at the people coming and going around them, their eyes seemingly fixed on them.
Mother Song hesitated for a moment, then finally stood up and left with Song Jing.
Song Tiantian stood on a high floor, watching the scene from afar. As she looked at Mother Song’s retreating back, her heart ached slightly.
She couldn’t control this emotion. Although the original host’s Soul Power had dissipated, there were still some lingering effects.
Sigh, it’s difficult for her too!
She still had to focus on the Pet Beast Center’s matters first.
Dr. Bai was right; she needed to innovate and find new ways to make money.
After all, Cold Fragrance Number One and Cold Fragrance Number Two had many competitors, and their recipes were already public, so they couldn’t be sold at a high price.
The Pet Beast Food sold well because the raw materials were expensive and of the finest quality. If they didn’t use these high-quality materials, the taste of the Pet Beast Food couldn’t be improved.
Song Tiantian took stock of the types of Pet Beasts; there were quite a few plant-type Pet Beasts.
Dr. Bai’s White Lotus was very famous, so there were many Beast Tamers who contracted plant-type Pet Beasts.
She had already developed a relatively mature line of food rations for plant-type Pet Beasts.
