Kang Jiao was also summoned by the police, firstly for the Yonghui Auction Center, and secondly for the Antique Dealers Association.
She was incredibly nervous when she went there, thinking her life was over. But when she got there, she found out that the police were just taking her statement!
She learned from the police that although the thieves had been caught, they refused to admit to the crime, and the case could not be closed for the time being.
What's strange is that all the antiques that were recently stolen have been recovered, but the five antiques that were lost from Yonghui Auction Center have disappeared without a trace!
Yonghui Auction Center may have to bear this loss! That would be a considerable expense!
However, Kang Jiao didn't mind at all! Because, compared to that, she knew that the three people with the blood-red bat hadn't implicated her and her uncle!
Although she didn't know why, Kang Jiao felt relieved.
The antiques exchange fair continued for two more days.
Shan Xingwen's "A Fleeting Dream" personal fashion show also ended two days later, with Maomao walking off to the closing ceremony, wearing all of Shan Xingwen's most satisfying clothes.
During these three days, the cat and "a fleeting dream" remained on the trending topics list.
Not only that, domestic fashion magazines made an exception and replaced the "Fleeting Dream" article in their latest issue, and even the international fashion industry rushed to report on this fashion show!
Shan Xingwen's unique personal style swept through the fashion world, allowing the world to see the boundless potential of Chinese designers.
While the fashion show was still generating buzz, Maomao ended her trip to H City and returned to Beijing.
...
Jiu Yunchi actually drove to pick up the cat himself.
Cat got into the car and looked at Jiu Yunchi, saying, "Wow, Jiu Yunchi, you're getting lazier and lazier these days."
Jiu Yunchi turned the steering wheel. "I'm picking you up, not because I'm lazy."
Cat: "Oh, okay, I see. This is also your love for your sister."
Jiu Yunchi sighed helplessly. Ever since the cat took the high ground in the family, it had gradually mastered the tricks and would use them to corner him from time to time.
Jiu Yunchi felt that there were very few things in this world that he couldn't control, but whether he was the older brother or the younger brother was something he really couldn't control.
"Have you seen your mother?" Jiu Yunchi changed the subject.
The cat immediately asked, "Oh, by the way, how is my mom?"
Jiu Yunchi thought for a moment, "You'll know when you get back."
Cat looked at Jiu Yunchi and sensed that something was amiss...
Half an hour later, at the Jiu family's house.
Cat walked into the living room, changed her shoes, and observed as she entered. She saw Ziying sitting on the sofa watching TV, with Jiu Zhongsheng peeling an apple next to her, a picture of peaceful tranquility.
There doesn't seem to be anything unusual?
Just then, Ziying turned around and saw the cat. She immediately became happy and said, "Sweetie, you're really here! They didn't lie to me after all."
The cat walked over, unaware of what was going on, so it didn't make a sound.
Jiu Yunchi came up behind her and said in a low voice, "She thought you ran away from home."
Cat: "..."
Ziying then turned to Jiu Zhongsheng and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I didn't believe you before. Thank you for taking in Tiantian. I've been bothering you for a few days, and I should go back now... Tiantian, go home with your mother."
As she spoke, Ziying had already taken the cat's hand.
Cat: "..."
She discovered that as soon as she came to Ziying, she had to follow the script.
Now it seems that she forgot everything she had earnestly told her that day.
The cat grabbed Ziying, preventing her from leaving. "Mom, this is my home, and he is my dad."
Jiu Zhongsheng had stopped peeling the apple and was now staring intently at Ziying.
Ziying glared angrily at the cat, "Sweetie, what nonsense are you talking about? How could Mr. Jiu be your father?"
The cat then asked, "If he's not my dad, then who is?"
Ziying seemed stumped by the question. She paused for a moment, then frowned and thought hard, but couldn't come up with an answer for a long time. Finally, she said somewhat dejectedly, "Mom forgot..."
She'd even forgotten who her father was...
Upon hearing this, the cat didn't seem to react much.
Jiu Yunchi stood a little further away, listening quietly without interrupting.
But Jiu Zhongsheng looked helpless.
Ziying asked, "Sweetie, why are you looking for your dad? Isn't your mom enough?"
Cat paused for a moment, thinking, it seems that Ziying's fate still depends on her... because she doesn't remember Jiu Zhongsheng at all.
The cat said very seriously, "But Mom, everyone has a father, so I should have one too, right? You couldn't have given birth to me by yourself. He is my father. I'm not making this up; you told me that. It's just that you forgot."
"Impossible..." Ziying murmured doubtfully, but her tone was no longer so certain, as if she herself was doubting something, "I don't remember Mr. Jiu at all..."
Ziying's earlier statement that she forgot was already a blow to Jiu Zhongsheng's heart; now, she's added insult to injury.
The cat patiently explained to her, "Because you are sick, you often forget things, but that's not important. It's all temporary. You'll get better soon, and then you'll remember everything."
Ziying held the cat's hand tightly the whole time.
In this house, the person she trusted most seemed to be the cat.
“Mom isn’t sick…” Ziying said unhappily, but a look of worry appeared on her face.
Cat looked at her, then at Jiu Zhongsheng. With Ziying in this state, talking to her would be useless. Not only would she forget quickly, but she also had some awareness of her own condition. Talking to her about her illness now would only frighten her.
Cat then said, "Oh, Mom, I still have to go to school and can't go back to H City. Why don't you stay here with me? Dad and brother can't cook, and I'm hungry every day."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Yunchi finally reacted... Starving every day? He can't cook? This baseless accusation is truly toxic.
When Ziying heard how miserable the cat was, she couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Okay, Mom will stay with you."
After saying that, she glanced at Jiu Zhongsheng and Jiu Yunchi, "Tian Tian, don't call me that."
"Oh," the cat replied, but it wasn't really on her mind. She secretly made a peace sign at Hisa no Masaru.
Jiu Zhongsheng smiled approvingly at him and handed the apple to Ziying, "Yingying, have some apples."
Ziying: "Thank you, I can do it myself."
Jiu Zhongsheng patiently stayed with Ziying and became much more talkative than usual.
Ziying wanted to leave to find the cat several times, but she was always stopped by Jiu Zhongsheng's subtle topic.
The cat followed Jiu Yunchi to the study.
Jiu Yunchi handed several pages of paper to Maomao and said, "These are the diagnostic opinions given to your mother by several experts in the field of mental health and psychology from all over the world. Take a look."
