"Alright, this is really none of our business now," Ye Mingshi said. "Let's all go home."
"Mujin, don't delay treating your throat. I've prescribed a new medicine for you. Take it according to the prescription and don't damage your throat," Dr. Ye said.
Hibiscus nodded.
Ye Mingshi said, "Dad, all you're doing is unnecessary. When has Jin'er ever taken medicine? I've prescribed him countless times, I'm practically feeding him with a spoon. Don't worry, he's made of iron, just let him drag it out."
Dr. Ye didn't reply. He left the prescription, took his medicine box, and slowly walked out. "By the way, there's something you've got wrong. Miss Jiu should be Jiu Yunchi's older sister, not her younger sister."
Ye Mingshi paused for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "This is actually quite interesting." He then added, "More than that, I'm curious, Dad, why are you so polite to the cat?"
Dr. Ye said, "Because I eat more salt than you."
"Hey, still keeping me in suspense," Ye Mingshi said.
Everyone had left, and the living room became quiet.
Hibiscus leaned back on the sofa, tilting her head back, revealing her slender neck, making the fresh teeth mark even clearer.
He squinted slightly, watching the crystal chandelier shatter the light into fragments.
-------------------------------------
On the other side.
Jiu Yunchi had already taken the cat home, and just as he was about to swipe his fingerprint, the door in front of him suddenly opened!
"Big brother?" Jiu Yebai exclaimed in surprise, then immediately looked at the person he was holding in his arms, "Cat!"
"Get out of the way," Jiu Yunchi said.
Jiu Yebai seemed to only then realize what was happening, hurriedly stepping aside and following Jiu Yunchi upstairs, his eyes fixed on the sleeping cat. "What happened? What happened to the cat? Where did you find her, big brother? Why is she sleeping so soundly?"
He asked so many questions, but Jiu Yunchi didn't answer a single one.
After placing the cat on her bedroom bed, Jiu Yebai covered her with a blanket, adjusted the room temperature, and then ran to the bathroom. After a while, he came out with a wet towel.
He clumsily wiped the cat's face and paws, then stood there thinking, should he hire another maid? It's too inconvenient for a grown man like him.
Jiu Yunchi was dressed impeccably in his suit, which seemed out of place in the comfortable atmosphere of the bedroom. He slowly observed the room, including the wardrobe, and finally, his gaze fell on Jiu Yebai.
It was only a few beats later that Jiu Yebai noticed the strong presence behind him!
He immediately turned around, chuckled dryly, and called out, "Big Brother."
"Who is Maomao?" Jiu Yunchi asked, his eyes were exactly the same as Jiu Yebai's, but his aura was completely different, and there was no way to confuse them.
Jiu Yebai is flamboyant; he thinks he's the most important person in the world.
Jiu Yunchi, however, was frozen in ice. In a world of only frost and snow, he was the king.
Jiu Yunchi is only two years older than Jiu Yebai, but he is already the president of the company. In the past five years, since he took over the company, he has led the company to expand its territory. One groundbreaking decision after another has made the company stand out in the industry with a very fierce attitude.
As a result, Jiu Yunchi's name is now quite well-known in Beijing.
Despite being only two years apart, the power imbalance was immense. Jiu Yebai was completely unruly in front of his father, but he was timid and submissive when he saw his older brother.
Jiu Yebai quickly said, "Isn't this Maomao? Oh, big brother, Jiu Xintian changed her name, she's called Jiu Maomao now."
Jiu Yunchi stared at him, "In my study..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiu Yebai interrupted him nervously, "Big brother! Maomao's legs have been bothering her these past few days, and she was feeling bored at home, so she borrowed your study. Don't worry, I'll have someone clean up the attic on the third floor and build her her own study. She won't be taking up your space anymore."
Jiu Yunchi frowned slightly as he looked at the nervous Jiu Yebai.
"I mean, those foreign language books in my study, are they read by you or by Jiu Maomao?" Jiu Yunchi asked.
Jiu Yebai was taken aback. He thought his older brother was about to lose his temper. "Foreign language books? I haven't been learning any new foreign languages lately."
Jiu Yunchi then asked, "Have you recently become interested in forestry and planting?"
Kuyabai said, "No."
Jiu Yunchi simply nodded, turned and walked out, "Instead of going out and fooling around, why don't you go help out at the company? We're short a security guard at the building entrance."
Jiu Yebai: "..."
Even if he wanted to explain, he no longer had the chance.
He then sat down on the ground, stared at the cat for a while, and said strangely, "What did Big Brother ask? It was so weird... Also, where did you go all night?"
After a while, he said again, "I'm sorry..."
If he had come back sooner, the cat wouldn't have run off by itself.
Jiu Yebai tucked the blanket around the cat, went back and quickly took a shower. When he came out, it was already 2 a.m.
In the past, staying up all night was normal for him, but now, he feels an uncontrollable sense of guilt if he doesn't go home after midnight.
The gathering tonight was arranged two weeks ago. It was Song Ci's birthday, and he couldn't refuse. After midnight, he became restless and told Song Ci that he was coming back. Song Ci felt embarrassed and had a big argument with him, saying that they couldn't be brothers anymore.
But he still came back, only to find out that the cat was in trouble as soon as he entered the door. He was so worried that he was about to go look for her when his older brother actually brought her back in his arms.
The older brother didn't say anything; he could only ask the cat tomorrow.
-------------------------------------
That night, many people were in a state of chaos, but the cat slept soundly.
When she woke up in the morning, she stretched and yawned, half-closing her eyes and smiling as she watched the light streaming through the thick curtains.
Meow~
The black cat lay obediently on the pillow.
The cat picked it up and said happily, "The cat had a dream, a dream about Ah Jin."
Meow~
The black cat scratched the cat's hair, happy for its owner.
"This dream felt so real, I think I even ate Ah Jin." The cat smacked its lips.
After washing up, the cat went downstairs in a good mood, grabbed a glass of juice, and sat on the sofa to drink it slowly.
Jiu Yebai had been sitting in the restaurant for a long time, and when Maomao finally woke up, he immediately came over and asked, "Maomao, where did you go last night? What happened?"
"Hmm? The cat went..."
As Maomao was speaking, she suddenly paused, a series of images flashing through her mind. She remembered that she had left the Jiu family last night and gone to the Mu family to find Ajin.
She really saw Ah Jin! It wasn't a dream!
However, she seemed to lose control last night.
Just then, the morning news on TV was broadcasting, "A major traffic accident occurred on Sai Wan Road last night. The driver was driving while fatigued... He has been taken to the hospital... and is still undergoing emergency treatment..."
The cat stared at the TV, its memories becoming clearer.
She instinctively picked up the black cat and murmured, "No one can die..."
