"Oh dear." The cat shrugged and said helplessly, "If you insist on thinking this way, then there's nothing I can do. Just sell your knife. Sell it to whoever you want. Anyway, I have plenty of ways to buy it."
As she spoke, the cat started to walk out.
Standing to the side, both anxious and angry, he watched as the cat walked to the door and suddenly shouted, "You, you stop right there! I'll give you a discount, I don't want fifty million, I only want, only thirty million!"
Cat stopped in her tracks without turning around. "Wasn't I clear enough? I'm not going to buy from you. You and your son's lives can be exchanged for a Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade, or thirty million. You choose."
Wang Lin struggled to his feet, stamping his feet in frustration, "You want my knife without paying a single penny? This is blatant robbery!"
The cat shook its head and chuckled.
Why are people so greedy?
The bodyguard looked at Wang Lin with pity. This guy must have something wrong with his head. The young lady said that two lives could be exchanged for a knife. Does he think that money is more important than his own life?
Cat didn't give Wang Lin another chance and went straight out the door.
Wang Lin was really anxious this time. He rushed out, "Wait a minute, I'll give you a discount. I only need three million! Is that alright?"
The cat wouldn't listen at all.
Wang Lin angrily cursed, "You, you're a liar! You're trying to scare me! I don't believe you!"
But he quickly changed his mind, "Come back! I'll give you the knife, but how can you guarantee that my son and I will both live past thirty?"
However, no matter what Wang Lin said, the cat didn't linger for another second.
Wang Lin tried to rush forward, but the bodyguard grabbed him and threw him to the ground!
Wang Lin was so frightened that he dared not move, watching helplessly as the cat's car drove away, completely at a loss.
On the bus.
The bodyguard asked with some doubt, "Young Miss, are you really not going to take the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade?"
The cat said confidently, "Of course."
Bodyguard: "So you're just leaving like this?"
Cat said casually, "It's just a knife. I wouldn't have bothered with it if I hadn't promised to give it to Ah Jin. No one can negotiate with Cat."
The bodyguard was solemn; he understood! Wang Lin had gone too far! If he had known a thing or two, he wouldn't have ended up with nothing! The bodyguard was also a little excited because his young mistress was sure to get the knife, and he was eager to know what she would do!
"Young Miss, where are we going now?" the bodyguard asked.
Cat checked the time; this round trip would take a long time, and it was time for her to "go home from school."
“Go find your mother,” she said.
The bodyguard quieted down and drove off.
The cat sent Mu Jin a message: "[Mu Jin, I have a mom now]".
After a while, Mu Jin replied: "You already have a mother."
The cat placed her hand on the phone screen, slightly pouting. She didn't have a mother... which is why she felt something was strange.
Before she could figure out how to reply, Mu Jin sent another message: "[You will have many more; they are all waiting for you in the future.]"
The cat smiled immediately. "And you, Ah Jin?"
The cat stared at her phone for a while before a message popped up: "[I am the present, all the moments you can capture]."
The cat's lips curled into a smile, and it grinned foolishly for a long time.
...
After dark.
Cat arrived back at Ziying's apartment complex almost right on time. She climbed to the fifth floor and had just stood at the door when the security door opened.
Ziying pulled her inside, "Sweetie's back, come in quickly."
The cat was pulled inside and sat on the sofa.
At that moment, a person came out of the restroom; it was Jiu Zhongsheng.
Ziying brought out two bowls of white fungus and lotus seed porridge from the kitchen, which was prepared for the two of them. However, she said to Jiu Zhongsheng very politely, "You've gone to so much trouble for me today. Have some porridge to warm yourselves up."
Jiu Zhongsheng took it, "Yingying, it's nothing, it's just a small matter."
Jiu Zhongsheng held the soup spoon and drank very slowly.
Ziying didn't say much, so the atmosphere was inevitably a bit awkward when the three of them sat together.
The cat was drinking its porridge with its head down, seemingly oblivious to the atmosphere around it.
Suddenly, Jiu Zhongsheng kicked the cat under the table.
The cat looked up at him, and thankfully her hand was steady, so the porridge didn't spill.
Jiu Zhongsheng drank his porridge as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't done the little thing just now!
The cat paused for a moment, then looked at Ziying, "Mom, do you know what day it is today?"
Ziying's answer was the same as earlier that day: "Mom forgot, you can tell Mom."
The cat nodded and told her the date, "January 20th."
Ziying said, "The New Year is already over."
The cat then told her the year and brought up the calendar on its phone, placing it in front of her.
Ziying looked at the cat's phone, her beautiful brows slowly furrowing. She said with certainty, "Sweetie, you've got the time wrong."
Looking at Ziying, Maomao knew in that instant that Ziying was truly ill.
It's not that she doesn't know about time; rather, she has been selectively ignoring it all along. Even if you tell her the truth, she won't believe it.
Cat said again, "My time is correct, Mom. You're mistaken. I'm not a high school student anymore. I'm twenty-two years old. I went to Beijing after the college entrance exam, and it's been five years."
Ziying suddenly looked at the cat sternly: "Sweetie, you got the timing wrong! Don't talk nonsense."
The atmosphere became even more tense.
Ziying then turned to Jiu Zhongsheng and said, "Mr. Jiu, it's getting late. I'm sorry, we can't keep you any longer."
This is an attempt to drive people away.
Jiu Zhongsheng couldn't pretend to be a wooden doll, so he put down the bowl but didn't leave.
