After dinner, there was still more than half a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs left. Only Ye Tong and Ye Qingqing liked sweet and sour pork ribs; Ye Zhiguo and the others didn't like them. They had almost finished eating all the other dishes.

"I want to eat ribs!" Pipi's voice rang out.

Ye Qingqing then remembered her companion, looked up and saw Pipi standing on the windowsill. Before Shen Yanhong cleared away the plates, Pipi moved the ribs in front of her, saying, "I'm going to take them back to my room to eat."

Ye Zhiguo didn't care at all; it was just pork ribs. He was doing quite well at the factory, earning a good salary and bonuses, plus plenty of extra income. Moreover, Shen Yanhong worked in the canteen, so they didn't have to spend a penny on food at home.

If he can get his hands on the property, he will definitely be the most comfortable person in Pingjiang City.

"Remember to brush your teeth after eating, and don't stay up too late reading novels at night, or you'll develop nearsightedness!" Ye Zhiguo carefully gave a few instructions. Anyone who saw him would think he was a loving father who doted on his daughter.

A chill ran through Ye Qingqing; she truly couldn't understand Ye Zhiguo anymore.

In her past life, Ye Zhiguo loved her so much, but she suffered greatly in prison, and Ye Zhiguo didn't care at all. He only came to see her once when she first entered prison, and didn't say anything.

After that, there was no further news.

If Ye Zhiguo's doting and care for her over the years were all an act, then how terrifying must this person's mind be!

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but shiver.

She hoped her guess was wrong, but her intuition told her that the possibility was extremely slim.

Let's investigate this thoroughly first!

If Ye Zhiguo was really acting, she wouldn't care about the father-daughter relationship anymore!

"Dad, I want to keep a pet too."

Pipi will definitely be coming and going from home often in the future, so it's better to let you know in advance, lest Ye Hua secretly roast and eat Pipi.

Pipi rolled its eyes. It was just a two-legged cub. It could kill it with one swipe. The mistress was underestimating it!

Ye Zhiguo asked with a smile, "What does Qingqing want to keep? A puppy or a kitten?"

"I want to keep birds, look... this is it!"

Pipi flapped its wings and flew onto Ye Qingqing's shoulder. Ye Zhiguo looked at Pipi suspiciously, "Is this a myna bird?"

Shen Yanhong shook her head and said, "It's all black, it must be a crow, it's bad luck, Qingqing shouldn't keep it."

"Idiot!" Pipi opened his mouth, and his sharp voice startled everyone.

Ye Zhiguo immediately became interested. "It should be a myna, no, it's a wren. Mynas have all black feathers, while wrens have white feathers on their necks and are a bit bigger than mynas. It's a wren."

"Smart!" Pipi exclaimed again.

Its greatest love in life is talking. It feels as uncomfortable as being hungry if it can't talk. It can't speak long sentences, but it can at least speak short words!

Actually, it wasn't a myna bird at all. It was transformed from a piece of black jade belonging to the Xu family. Its spirit possessed a myna bird kept by the head of the Xu family at the time. It could be a cat or dog, or even a tiger or leopard, whenever it wanted.

However, having been birds for hundreds of years, flying around quite freely, and most importantly, the myna can talk.

This is what satisfies Pipi the most.

Ye Zhiguo was in a great mood after receiving praise from a bird. "This myna bird has obviously been trained. Qingqing, where did you get it?"

"I fed it ice cream when I came back, and then it came back with me. Dad, I want to raise Pipi." Ye Qingqing said coquettishly.

Ye Zhiguo also adored Pipi, but he worried that it might have escaped from someone else's home, and that it would be troublesome if the owner came looking for it.

“I’m going to keep it. Come find me and we’ll talk. I’ll feed Pipi good food, and it definitely won’t want to leave.”

"It's delicious...it's delicious..."

Pipi's eyes lit up when it heard about the delicious food, and it flapped its wings to peck at the ribs on the plate.
