"Okay, I'm at the park near my old house. Come find me."
As Qiao Chen rushed to Duan Sisi's place, Wen Zhan also received a call from a friend.
"You said you saw a meow? Where?"
Wen Zhan asked urgently, and after getting the detailed address, he didn't care about anything else and immediately drove to the destination.
The destination was a pet shop near Duan Sisi's residential area.
As soon as Wenzhan entered the pet store, he saw Miaowu in the display case. He had been looking for the cat for days and had already memorized Miaowu's appearance; he wouldn't mistake her for someone else.
Compared to the meow in the photo, the meow now looked listless, its fur had lost its luster, and even its eyes looked much more melancholy.
What they went through during that time is unimaginable.
When the pet shop owner saw him rush towards the meowing cat as soon as he entered, he assumed the man was there to sell a cat and began to flatter him.
"You have a good eye. This cat is very popular. Several groups of people have come for it."
When Wenzhan turned around, he saw an expression of anger that the boss hadn't expected.
"Where did you get this cat?"
The boss blinked, then looked Wen Zhan up and down, clearly becoming much more wary.
"Why are you asking this when it's our own child?"
Wen Zhan quickly looked down and found the photos on his phone. As he showed them to him, he asked with a sneer, "I'd like to ask which cat gave birth to them, when they were born, and how old they are."
The boss glanced at the photo, quickly realized what was happening, and immediately shoved Wenzhan.
"Get out of here if you're not buying a cat! Don't disturb my business!"
"You picked up someone's lost cat and didn't return it, and even put a price tag on it. The owner has come looking for it, and you're still pretending to be stupid! Don't you have even the most basic human decency?!"
Wenzhan's shout completely enraged the boss.
The boss pointed at Miaowu and yelled, "How can you prove this is your cat?!"
Seeing Wenzhan about to pick up the photos again, he immediately interrupted, "Based on a few lousy photos? There are people in this world who look exactly alike, let alone cats! If you can get it to admit it, you can take the cat!"
That's utterly absurd.
Seeing that he was deliberately making things difficult for him, and having no other options, Wenzhan could only change his tune: "So how exactly can you give me back the cat?"
Seeing his eagerness to find the cat, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he had an idea.
"You can take it if you want, but you have to pay for it."
"How much?"
The boss held up a finger and shamelessly offered, "Anything less than ten thousand is out of the question."
He saw that Wen Zhan's face had darkened noticeably, but he wasn't afraid. He continued slowly, "Although this cat doesn't have a pedigree or certificate, look at its appearance. It's definitely a good cat. You won't regret paying ten thousand."
Seeing that Wenzhan still didn't speak, the boss got impatient and chased him away again.
"Buy it or not? If you don't have the money, get out of here!"
Wenzhan glanced at the listless meow in the display case and gritted his teeth.
"I'll buy it!"
Even though he knew the boss was deliberately trying to scam him, when he saw Miaowu's pitiful appearance and remembered Duan Sisi's painful expression when she lost her child, he was willing to suffer a loss to spend the money.
The shopkeeper looked at the money in his account with satisfaction, handed the cat to Wenzhan, and said to Wenzhan with a smug look, "Look carefully, if you come to buy a cat again, the price might not be this high next time."
Wenzhan gritted his teeth and walked away with the cat's cage, uttering his shameless words.
As soon as they stepped out of the pet store, Wenzhan tentatively called out to the cat in the cage, "Meow?"
Meow's ears perked up instantly, and its dark eyes were fixed on Wen Zhan, as if trying to figure out who he was and why he knew its name.
Wen Zhan immediately beamed with joy, all his gloom vanishing.
"I knew it was you. You wait, I'll take you to find your mother."
He happily crossed the street, carrying the cat's cage, and headed towards the parked car on the other side.
As Wenzhan walked to the car, before he could even unlock it and get in, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a couple standing opposite each other in the park not far away.
His eyes flickered, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.
Miaowu glanced at him, then slowly shifted her gaze. When she saw Duan Sisi, she suddenly stood up and let out a meow.
Wen Zhan stared intently at Duan Sisi and Qiao Chen. He was about to step forward when he saw Qiao Chen suddenly pull Duan Sisi into his arms, and Duan Sisi did not resist at all.
Wen Zhan slowly withdrew his steps, turned his head, opened the car door without hesitation, and got in.
He drove off directly.
Unaware of what had happened, Duan Sisi's eyes were as cold as frost, and her voice was as cold as ice.
"Have you hugged enough?"
Qiao Chen trembled, stood up and looked at her in disbelief, "Sisi."
Duan Sisi looked at him as if he were a stranger, without love or hate.
"I originally wanted to make things clear to you over the phone, but I'm a person who always values rituals, so it's better to say things like severing ties face to face."
She paused for a moment, then got to the point: "Qiao Chen, can you please stop calling me like that! We're divorced. If you keep bothering me, don't blame me for calling the police!"
Duan Sisi rolled her eyes after saying those words, then turned and left.
Qiao Chen was still completely bewildered, as if she hadn't yet processed what she had just said.
At Chengyan Technology, Yi An slammed the documents on the table, stood up, and angrily accused, "Is this how the head office treats us? We've worked diligently, what did we do wrong? Why are you treating us like this?"
The person in charge was furious with him and looked completely bewildered.
"No, Mr. Yi, I only said that the company's performance has declined slightly. Is it that big of a problem?" he asked cautiously.
Not only were the managers sent down from the head office confused, but even the employees of Chengyan Technology were completely bewildered.
Yi An's voice suddenly rose even higher, as if she were furious, almost standing on the table to speak.
"Is this just a slight decline in performance? This is an act of extreme distrust from head office! This behavior has severely damaged the morale of all my employees! Summon your CEO immediately! Give us an explanation, right now!"
Yi An had a look on her face that said, "If Su Yan doesn't come, I can't coax her anymore."
The person in charge finally understood: this might not be a work-related issue, but a family conflict! How unlucky he was to run into this mess!
He contacted Su Yan with trepidation.
Fifteen minutes later, Su Yan arrived at the president's office of Chengyan Technology.
Yi An watched Su Yan walk in, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He waved his hand with a blank expression, "You can all leave now. I need to discuss the seriousness of this issue with President Su!"
