Chapter 35 White Camellia
"Yes." Pei Xiangwan answered firmly.
Lin Su walked forward slowly, her eyes full of contempt and disdain. "Do you really want to do this? Otherwise, call a professional." Her tone was full of disapproval, as if Pei Xiangwan's behavior was so stupid.
Pei Xiangwan frowned. "Why would we need to call someone for such a small thing?"
Lin Su didn't say anything more, just said "Okay." and closed her mouth. She would not let her hands be stained with this dirt, which was smelly and dirty. Staying here was already her limit.
Pei Xiangwan's heart was filled with anxiety. She strained to open the lid. The cat's cries grew more rapid, as if it were crying out that it could no longer hold on. Its claws trembled, and Pei Xiangwan felt her heart tear as she felt its helpless wail. Without hesitation, she reached out, her fingers stained with sticky grime. A single voice rang in her mind: Almost there, almost there.
Pei Xiangwan held the kitten's body in her hands. She thought to herself, this kitten is so small, luckily it's okay.
Jiang Shiyuan's heart was up and down. She just watched this person silently, and her heart would rise and fall with this person's movements.
She looked at Pei Xiangwan's expression, from the initial serious frown to the current smile, the joy of relief, as if she had saved not a tiny animal, but the whole world.
Pei Xiangwan could smell the kitten's scent, a complex, pungent odor, but she was also dirty, so it didn't matter.
As Pei Xiangwan carefully picked up the kitten, the moonlight shone on her, appearing particularly gentle.
The air seemed frozen, and only the kitten's cry echoed in the night sky, like a moving melody. Pei Xiangwan looked down at the little life in her arms, tears glistening in her eyes, filled with pity and warmth.
"Jiang Jiang, give me my clothes." The kitten was still shouting hoarsely, its small body trembling.
She took the clothes handed to her by Jiang Shiyuan and wrapped the kitten tightly, leaving only the head exposed to allow it to breathe. There were two black paw prints printed on the white T-shirt that Pei Xiangwan was wearing, like a badge awarded to her by the kitten to thank her.
When the cat came up, the foul smell hit Lin Su in the face, making her extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't stop retching. She stepped back and covered her nose.
"What should we do with this cat next?"
Pei Xiangwan was too lazy to pay attention to this scumbag and said with anger, "Of course send it to the pet hospital. What else can I do? I can go there myself." Pei Xiangwan had some difficulty standing up and his legs were numb from kneeling.
The kitten was still meowing in her arms, so Pei Xiangwan could only move forward.
"I'll go with you to Wanwan."
Lin Su stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Shiyuan's wrist. "Didn't Pei Xiangwan say that she could go alone? Maybe there's a cat here. We should stay here and look for the cat."
Jiang Shiyuan shook off Lin Su's hand and smiled softly, "I'm worried about Wanwan. Sister Lin, you go back first. We will continue looking tomorrow." Her voice was as gentle as the night wind, but with an unignorable firmness, as if she was the brightest star in the night sky, emitting warm light.
The air around was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and the moonlight shone through the treetops onto the ground.
Jiang Shiyuan left with the beam of light. The wind was howling, the branches were shaking violently, and it was pitch black all around. The monster in the depths opened its bloody mouth and wanted to devour everything here.
Lin Su burst into laughter. Because it was dark, her face could not be seen at all. Only her ghostly laughter could be heard.
She hates people who have an easy life, but she also likes the cuteness of such people, whose cuteness is as pure and white as paper, which makes her crazy and want to splash black ink on this white paper.
Now that it has begun, there will be no end.
"Jiang Jiang, why are you here?" Pei Xiangwan turned to look at Jiang Shiyuan and saw that the other party wanted to get close to her. This was absolutely not possible. She was now emitting the stench of a sewer, not to mention the kitten in her arms that was meowing non-stop.
The cat and the person together stunk terribly. Pei Xiangwan quickly distanced himself from them, "Don't come close. Stand further away, Jiang Jiang."
The little fox really stopped moving, but whether it was because Pei Xiangwan's expression was too fierce or because her voice was too loud, the little fox stopped moving, her eyes red and she shed a few tears. She said very aggrievedly, "Why are you chasing me away again? Is it wrong for me to approach you now?"
Pei Xiangwan stamped her feet anxiously, "No, I stink. You are so clean and fragrant, you will become smelly if you get close to me." The little guy in her arms kept crying, and the little fox on the other side was crying too. She didn't know what to do. She might as well chop her in half, so that she wouldn't have to jump in anxiety, and it would save trouble and kill two birds with one stone.
"Don't cry, dear. I really can't help you wipe your tears now." She freed one hand and spread out her palm, which was gloomy.
"See? Let's go. If you delay any longer, I'll be marinated." Her tone was full of pampering, without a trace of annoyance.
Jiang Shiyuan followed closely behind, "Okay, but I don't dislike yours."
"I know, but I don't want to. I want the Jiang Jiang of today to remain the Jiang Jiang of today."
How can a noble white swan dirty its feathers? Let her do everything.
"I don't understand what you are saying." Jiang Shiyuan stepped forward and grabbed Pei Xiangwan's arm. She always felt that if she didn't grab Pei Xiangwan now, she would run away and run to a place where she couldn't find her.
Jiang Shiyuan's grip became tighter and tighter, leaving a deep red mark on Pei Xiangwan. She wished she could tear her to pieces right now. Why did he insist on waiting until she fell in love with her? The kitten's shrill cry brought Jiang Shiyuan back to reality.
"Jiang Jiang, I don't mean anything else. I hope your life will get better and better in the future, just like now. No one can restrict you, and you can dominate everything. Even if no one supports you, I will support you."
At least she won't leave now, and she will think about the future later...
Jiang Shiyuan felt mixed emotions. She was touched, and her feeling of being touched was not just because she liked this person. More than that, she needed someone to understand her and feel her emotional fluctuations, which meant that someone cared about her.
If Pei Xiangwan was devoted to that pure white camellia, she could shed her fiery red and her gorgeous glow.
She never stopped moving forward. When she was little, she was like a white camellia that needed to be cared for in every way, with dewdrops always flowing on its petals.
But now it is not the case. She has changed. She is the red camellia that no longer needs protection. Although she looks beautiful and delicate, she is not harmless.
But if Pei Xiangwan wants, it's not impossible.
"Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang, there is a pet hospital here, let's go in." Pei Xiangwan was very excited to see the hospital.
"good."
As soon as he walked in, the smell quickly filled the place. The doctor smelled it and came out to check. He saw a very beautiful girl holding a kitten. She was looking around at the person in front of her. She was wearing seemingly ordinary sportswear, but the price was not something ordinary people could afford.
The doctor asked, "What's going on?"
Pei Xiangwan quickly took over the doctor's words, "I rescued this kitten from the sewer. Doctor, please help me check and see if it's sick or injured."
"good."
Pei Xiangwan carried the cat inside and asked the doctor to check it. She went to the bathroom to wash off the dirt on her hands. It had already dried, leaving circles of small black circles on her hands. Pei Xiangwan washed it many times, but the stench was still there. The lethality of the sewer was too strong. She thought that if she went back and took a few more baths, it would be better.
Jiang Shiyuan sat on the chair, quietly waiting for the result. Even if it was just the most ordinary action, it could attract the attention of the few people here.
She took out her cell phone and typed a few words, which scared Chen Cheng so much that he jumped up from the hot stool and ran around anxiously like a monkey in the zoo.
Chen Cheng looked at it again without knowing whether to live or die. It was normal for others to call it those two words, but it was abnormal for his own boss to call it that.
【Chen Cheng.】
Oh my god, this is so scary. Every time she is called out by the boss on WeChat, nothing good happens. Chen Cheng made the same gesture as Xiang Zuo and tried hard to recall that she had completed the task exceptionally well.
Then another message popped up, and Chen Cheng hurriedly picked up the phone he had thrown on the table.
Meeting tomorrow
Well, the calf and horse’s life is in danger.
Under the dim light, the spacious living room seemed particularly heavy. Meng Yuan held a unique teacup in her hand, the pattern on the cup simple and monotonous.
There is no gold rim embellishment, only a light waterfall pattern. The inside and outside of the cup are deep blue, as if it contains infinite profound meaning.
She blew carefully into the edge of the cup, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water, just like her mood at the moment, fluctuating.
Meng Yuan took a sip of tea, then put the cup down and slowly shifted his gaze to Ning Xuemo who was kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, Ning Xuemo's face was pale and his legs were trembling slightly.
"Xue, I remember I told you that it was not easy for me to get to where I am today, and it was even harder to raise you and give you a good life." After saying that, she laughed sadly.
Meng Yuan leaned back, and the ruby and emerald pendant on her earlobe swayed. The ruby and emerald ...
Meng Yuan felt no pain at this moment. Love is the easiest thing to affect people in this world. Only by letting go of love can one have a better life. She did it, but her daughter could not.
"Isn't it time for you to calm down? I've said that love is the last thing worth fighting for. It has no meaning at all."
Ning Xuemo clenched her teeth, her legs numb from kneeling on the ground, and her fingers pinched her thighs tightly, as if this could alleviate the anger in her heart.
"No! Mother, you are not right! Love has meaning." Her voice tore through the tranquility of the living room, full of despair and resistance.
Ning Xuemo screamed heartbreakingly, causing Meng Yuan to laugh. "Really? From what I understand, Jiang Shiyuan doesn't like you at all. Why does he insist on staying with you? I know you too well, Xue. I've already given you many beautiful things."
Meng Yuan gently stroked the side of the teacup, a flicker of disdain in her eyes. She cast her gaze towards the servant in the corner and said calmly, "It's cold. Give me another cup." The servant responded quickly, his expression indifferent, as if he was already accustomed to it.
Meng Yuan looked at Ning Xuemo with no warmth in her eyes, as if she was just staring at a dead object. But dead objects also need to be classified, and it was obvious that Ning Xuemo was a useful dead object to her.
Meng Yuan leaned down, and his fingertips gently slid across Ning Xuemo's face with a bit of contempt.
"Xue, you look like that loser, but don't look like a loser anymore." Her laughter echoed in the dim space, like the whisper of a ghost, which made people shudder.
The night outside the window gradually deepened, and the moonlight shone through the curtains onto the floor, soft yet a little lonely.
Meng Yuan looked at Ning Xuemo, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly covered up by indifference.
"And you have to understand, I can have a daughter, or I can not." Meng Yuan's voice was like the autumn wind, and the biting chill spread in the air.
In this silent living room, the entanglement of love and hate continued to intertwine. Meng Yuan's indifference was like an invisible cage, trapping Ning Xuemo within it, and her struggle seemed powerless and hopeless.
