Yu Ci smiled softly.
Is she pitiful?
Maybe.
In other words, this poor housewife agreed to adopt a boy to satisfy her husband's perverted pedophilic tendencies in order to keep him by her side.
As a child, he fought desperately to escape one ordeal after another, but he was also repeatedly beaten. Throughout, the woman stood by and even covered it up, while the youngest daughter of the family remained hidden in a fairytale ivory tower.
He wanted to kill the couple.
Wouldn't it be better to drag them all down to hell and keep them company?
Later, he changed his mind.
Yu Ci recalled, a slight smile curving her lips.
He told the little girl that her proud father, a technical engineer, had actually molested one of her male classmates, shattering her illusions.
He anonymously reported his adoptive father for accepting bribes, stealing research results from a competitor, and allegedly leaking trade secrets, and was subsequently imprisoned.
Oh, and he also reminded his adoptive mother that Zhang Zhaojing had an illegitimate child who would inherit all of his property, as stated in his will.
When he witnessed the family's expressions of disbelief, pain, or despair, Yu Ci smiled, and everyone was happy.
His former foster mother dared not meet his gaze again; it burned her back with pain.
"Brother Yu Ci?"
Chaochao, holding Xie Jingcheng's hand, turned back in confusion. Yu Ci, who had slowed her pace, had already distanced herself from the two of them.
"They're here." Yu Ci looked away, responded gently, and followed the two people in front of her.
The woman behind him trembled, and it took her a while to raise a smile again to attract customers, but her expression was strangely stiff.
The little squirrel in the cage in Yu Ci's hand let out a big sigh of relief, as if it were taking a retaliatory oxygen inhalation after holding its breath for a long time.
Oh my god, that was terrifying! Luckily, I "died" quickly.
Yu Ci pushed open the glass door of the pet clinic and handed the cage in her hand to the doctor, "Could you take a look at how badly it's injured?"
"Ah, of course, of course." The doctor was momentarily captivated by the two tall and handsome male high school students in front of him, and stammered before coughing to regain his senses.
"We need to take a video first. Come with me."
As she was about to lead the way, she noticed something moving below her in her peripheral vision. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was an incredibly cute and cuddly little girl.
She thought it was a Samoyed that had escaped from its cage.
Chaochao raised her head, looked into the doctor's eyes, and smiled sweetly, "Hello, sister."
"Hey, little friend, are you here with your two older brothers?" The doctor felt embarrassed by the child's sincere and innocent gaze, and the slight annoyance he had felt at being stunned by the high school student's handsomeness vanished.
This little kid really looks like a white Samoyed!
She's an adorable, smiling angel!
The doctor led them to the X-ray room, where the silent little squirrel was gently taken out and bound tightly to the table.
The doctor glanced at it casually and chuckled, "It's a male squirrel, isn't it?"
"!!!"
The little squirrel's eyes widened instantly, as if it were extremely embarrassed and angry, and even its previous lifelessness dissipated considerably.
Chaochao curiously peeked out: "How did you figure that out?"
The fluffy squirrel tail suddenly shot up, covering its vital parts.
As a result, the doctor casually tied up the tail.
Little squirrel: "..."
Xie Jingcheng pressed her head down: "Protect animal privacy."
The squirrel, utterly dejected, was slowly carried into the cabin; now we just wait for the film to be released.
In the next room, a husky was getting a shot, howling and struggling, while its owner and another veterinarian were desperately holding it down. After the injection, the husky let out a series of wailing cries, singing "Children of the Mountains"—
Chaochao was startled by the pitiful scream.
After getting its shot, the liberated husky jumped around the room, muttering and cursing, venting its dissatisfaction with its owner.
Do you want to kill me with pain?! Ouch!
He clearly said he brought me here for a blind date!
Ouch! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!
I'm going to tear the house apart when I get back! Aww!
The owner apologized as he dragged the husky out of the hospital.
The hospital suddenly became unusually quiet.
Chaochao sighed heavily.
The doctor, who was holding up the X-ray films, looked over when he heard the noise and reassured the child, "It's alright, its injuries aren't too serious." He assumed the child was worried about the squirrel.
Upon hearing about Erha's entire revenge plan, Chaochao shook her head and pointed to the front door, "It's for that uncle."
The doctor paused for a moment, then realized he was referring to the husky's owner, and laughed, "That's normal, it's a husky after all."
That's a breed that even ghosts fear.
She handed the X-ray to Yu Ci, saying, "There is a five-centimeter-long wound from her leg to her abdomen. It's not very deep, but fortunately there are no fractures or internal organ damage. She can be discharged from the hospital in about five days after the surgery."
Yu Ci took it, glanced at it, and nodded, saying, "Okay."
"Don't worry," he said with a smile, patting Chaochao's head.
The little dumpling also breathed a sigh of relief.
Several veterinarians began preparing to perform surgery on the little squirrel. The female doctor who had spoken earlier said softly to Chaochao, "Little friend, there are many puppies and kittens resting here. If you are bored, you can play with them, but it's best not to touch them with your hands, as some animals don't like strangers."
"Mmm!" Chaochao nodded obediently.
The doctor smiled kindly; this child was so endearing.
Turning around, I suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to tell them not to go near the innermost cages. Turning back, I found Chaochao playing a claw-shaking game with the German Shepherd with the worst temper in the entire clinic.
It's said to have a bad temper, but actually it doesn't recognize anyone except its owner.
At this moment, Chaochao said, "Left."
The German Shepherd stuck out its tongue and obediently raised its left paw and placed it on the child's small hand, moving very carefully, as if afraid that its paw might scratch the little dumpling's delicate skin.
Doctor: "..."
Is this the dog that barks wildly at strangers and had several cuts made on its body during the last surgery?
Not only the German Shepherds, but also those difficult-to-please animals next door were all sitting obediently in their cages, wagging their tails from side to side, as if eagerly waiting for the little emperor's favor.
The doctor wiped away his sweat and walked wearily into the operating room.
It's a real dog.
Yu Ci smiled slightly, "It seems that Chaochao is very popular with small animals."
Xie Jingcheng raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that it was indeed true; the Huo family's birds were always circling around her.
He stood in front of the German Shepherd's cage, stretched out his hand, and said, "Right."
The German Shepherd, lying down, gave him a cold look, snorted, and turned its head away, seemingly too lazy to pay him any attention.
Xie Jingcheng: "..."
