”Wow! These cats are so pretty!”
Aunt Bai bent down, rubbing her thumb against her index finger quickly as if she was counting money, ”Mimi! Mimi!”
Fina was annoyed and turned around as if it was saying, ”Shut up! Also, there is no money in your hand. I am not stupid!”
Zhang Zian realized that the older generations liked to call cats ”Mimi.” He wasn’t sure where that was from. Was it from a movie or TV show?
”Ha-ha, this cat is smart!” Aunt Bai took her hand back when Fina turned its back to her.
Snowy Lionet started spitting at Aunt Bai in complaint.
”Now I believe that you own a pet store,” Aunt Bai smiled. ”If you didn’t have a pet store, how could you find beautiful cats like that? Honestly, these are the prettiest cats that I have ever seen in my life, including all the street cats and my friends’ cats. And they are wicked smart!”
Zhang Zian was humble, ”That is flattering. I got them by coincidence.”
”Hey, are you selling these cats? My niece loves cats.” She looked at Fina and Snowy Lionet alternatively as if she was trying to pick one.
”These two are not for sale.” Zhang Zian would not turn down an interested customer, so he said, ”However, if you want to get a cat, you can come pick one at my store. I have many other cats.”
”Really? Are they as pretty as these two?” she asked longingly.
”Well…” Zhang Zian paused and said in a low voice, ”You don’t understand pets. For cats, personality is far more important. Look at these two. Yes, they are pretty, but they are also a pain in the neck. They are cold-hearted. Look for yourself.”
This was the first time Aunt Bai had heard a comment like that. She then looked at the cats closely… It was true! The golden cat was prideful and cold, as if it was too good for anything. The white cat was a bit nicer, but it didn’t seem to be interested in people. All it did was walk around the golden cat and try to get its attention.
Zhang Zian continued, ”See? They are like two kings in your home. People who know about pets would not buy them because of their personalities. I have friendlier cats in the store. I can leave you my address so you can come take a look sometime.”
”Sure! Please leave your address! I will take my niece there to check it out. I will have to wait though, because I have to take care of Dongyue’s mom these days. I don’t have the time,” Aunt Bai said.
”That is fine. I will be there. You can come later. My store is about to go through a renovation anyways. I will give you a nice discount.” Zhang Zian then asked, ”Oh, how old is your niece? Is she pretty?”
Aunt Bai was speechless.
Zhang Zian clarified, ”I mean, you look really good for your age. There are not any wrinkles on your face. I bet it is a genetic thing and was wondering if you niece looks like you.”
Every woman loved to be praised about her beauty — Aunt Bai was no exception. She laughed and rubbed her face, ”Yo, you are so sweet. You are right. Many people don’t think I look like 52 years old. Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to take care of Dongyue’s mom if I wasn’t healthy and strong enough.”
Wow, Aunt Bai revealed more information than he really wanted to know.
