Quietly opening her bedroom door, Jiang Qianxue saw no one in the corridor, so she immediately returned to her bedroom for her cell phone and selfie-stick, tiptoed out of the bedroom, and then gently closed the door.
Looking down the stairs, she saw her mother was on the phone, holding Snowball in her arms, and her father was sitting in the living room, reading a file with his glasses on. It seemed that she could take advantage of this opportunity!
She was happy. Learning from previous lessons, she put her body lower, moved forward step by step from behind the couch. The tall leather sofa blocked her body. The crashing sound of her father turning the pages and her mom’s conversation covered her subtle footsteps.
The entrance was getting closer and closer. Victory was only a few steps away!
In Snowy’s mind, there was a perfect simulation of how to quietly put on her shoes at the entrance, and slip out of the house without anyone noticing…
”Meow!”
Although it was only a low cat noise, it was particularly harsh at this time.
Suddenly, all noises stopped. It was dead silent. The house was so quiet that even a falling leaf could be heard.
Frightened, Snowy looked up from the back of the couch and saw her father and mother staring at her.
”You behaved for just a few days and now are busy sneaking out for a live show again?” Jiang Tianda said impatiently. ”How many times do I need to tell you? What do you get out of those live shows? You should learn to behave like a lady. Look at the other kids in this villa; who goes out every day like you?”
”Woo...” Snowy’s face wrinkled up. She knew she had to listen to her dad’s preaching, which he told her again and again.
”Honey, I allowed her to go out.” Shi Rong suddenly said.
Snowy and Jiang Tianda were both shocked at the same time. What was going on in her mom’s mind?
Shi Rong came forward with Snowball in her arms and faked a severe accusation. ”What a wild girl! Go if you want, but don’t take Snowball next time. Did you see how much mud and rotten leaves got caught in her hair from the woods? Take her for a bath!”
Shi Rong pushed Snowball to Snowy without saying anything else.
Snowy quickly understood and kept nodding. ”No problem! Trust me! I guarantee I’ll bring back a clean and white Snowball! Bye!”
She quickly went to the entryway, took the cat bag out from the cupboard, put Snowball into the cat bag, put on her shoes, and ran out with joy. She did it quickly so her father could not stop her.
After Snowy left, Jiang Tianda pulled a long face and stared at his wife. ”Look at how you spoil her! How will she find a husband in the future?”
Shi Rong shot back without hesitation, ”If she cannot find a husband I will keep her all my life... Anyways, I don’t want to see a depressed daughter!”
”What?! Like mother like daughter...” Jiang Tianda was choked with rage. He could not continue to read the files anymore, so he took off his reading glasses.
After a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
”Let me ask you. How come all of a sudden she started to behave for a few days?” He asked.
”How would I know?”
”Did you not ask?”
”I did. She didn’t say anything.” Shi Rong fought back, ”How about you? Why don’t you pay more attention to your own daughter? All you care about is your work…”
Jiang Tianda thought in his head that of course he cared about Snowy and he never missed one show of hers. However, he was too embarrassed to admit that. He didn’t want his wife to laugh at him and chances were she might tell her friends as a joke. Becoming the laughing stock of the villa was the last thing he wanted to happen.
He remembered the last live show, which was when she went to Hidden Fog Tea House in Mt. Hidden Fog. Snowy was normal during the whole broadcast. The owner from the pet shop was annoying… after that live show, Snowy became very quiet.
”Was it because of...” Jiang Tianda thought of what Zhang Zian said about the RPG game.
Was Snowy hurt by that?
He thought that was very possible. Why did she go back to her normal self today?
”Did she go out yesterday?” He asked.
