Jiang Qianxue had lunch in a restaurant that she had never been to before. Unfortunately, she found that the restaurant was not good enough for her live show. She then took a taxi to the beach, played with the Persian cat for a while and then went home.
After getting out of the taxi, she carried her cat bag and told the villa guard that she was expecting a package. She would like him to sign the package on her behalf, but he didn’t need to notify her. She would come get it when she had the time.
People who lived in this villa were either the rich or the powerful. The guard dared not to say no.
The villa had spacious alley roads. The environment was extremely clean, tidy, elegant and green. All around, there were 20-year-old Chinese parasol trees that were transplanted from another area. With a small reservoir sitting in the central area, the whole villa looked almost like a beautiful, small, quiet park. It was so quiet that very rarely would a person walk by. Even when there was one, he or she would walk by quickly. The human scene of lively pedestrians would disappear instantaneously and the warm human world would turn into a cold fairyland in the blink of an eye.
Although beautiful, the fairyland was lonely.
A property maintenance staff member was cutting the lawn with a push mower. Not far away, there was a middle-aged man walking a dog, the famous ”Get Lost Easy” Husky. The man was wearing a common white shirt and slippers. He looked no different than any ordinary middle-aged man, though walking a dog leisurely in this villa was already a powerful sign of his wealth; he had to be a billionaire in order to afford it.
A Husky would not get lost in this villa, neither would it be hit by a car. Even if it did get lost, the guards would find it.
The Husky must have smelled the Persian cat. He ran towards Jiang Qianxue from blocks away and as he reached her, he paced around the cat bag. Jiang Qianxue worried that he would scare the cat so she waved her hand to drive him away, ”Go play in another place!”
The husky was wagging his head with a smiling friendly face, its two round eyes were wide open. He was whipping his tail and pretended he didn’t understand her words.
In the meantime, a small cat claw struck out from the cat bag directly at the Husky's face. The Husky looked like he was kicked ruthlessly in the stomach, his four feet jumping off the ground with his whole body bowing back. He barely escaped the attack.
The Husky took a few steps back, dropped his tail, and put on a serious thinking face as if he was saying, ”Holy, that was not right.”
For some reason, she felt that his serious face looked like the manager from the pet store. She could not help but to giggle at the reaction.
(Off-screen voice: Zhang Zian, who was laying on a recliner, sat up and sneezed. He thought, ”Who was talking about me? Ouch! Totally collateral damage to me!”)
The middle-aged man walked over slowly with his hands crossed behind his back, ”Hi, Snowy! Coming home?”
Jiang Qianxue responded in an endearing tone, ”Hi, Uncle Jin. How are you?”
She knew that this man was a business owner as well as her father’s friend; however, the only thing she knew about him was his last name.
Nowadays, everyone could be a business owner. Someone could probably come across half a dozen business owners around the corner. Even the pet store owner from this morning, the cat thief, was a business owner.
Even if this Uncle Jin was a business owner, his business was likely not substantial at all. Jiang Qianxue had seen him walking his dog during the day several times. Was it really appropriate? In her opinion, a real business owner should act like her father, who worked all day in his company making the staff feel more secure.
After a fun afternoon at the beach, Jiang Qianxue forgot to close the cat bag tightly. There was a tiny gap in the zipper where the Persian cat sat in order to search for the dog with her eyes. What a smart little creature!
”Yo! Did you just get a cat?” Uncle Jin saw the cat’s face exposed in the gap.
”Well, yeah. I got it as a companion,” she said.
