Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen: More Troubles Ensues (1/2)

Having said that, even Xiao Yu could get angry.

The human being was just like a spring – if it was compressed for too long, it would eventually bounce back. Even if Xiao Yu was more flexible, he also had limits.

When his spring reached its limit, it would naturally bounce back.

However, after it bounced back…

Xiao Yu sat on his couch thinking for the next hour. Then, he paced between the couch and the door. Specifically, he stood up from the couch, walked past the kitchen to the door, turned around, and then walked back to the couch to sit down.

Ohmygawd, I actually said something like, ‘We will meet in court’. Am I crazy?

Why did I make it sound so certain when I could have just said that I needed more time to think and dragged it out?

I’m agitated because it’s Yan Jin we are talking about.

They can’t blame me for having a wonderful impression of Yan Jin, for thinking that he would never do such a thing.

Xiao Yu curled himself into the couch feeling aggrieved as he unconsciously sought that warm palm to nudge against and ask for comfort.

It was not there.

He was suddenly awakened by the fact that he was no longer in a form which could solve everything just by acting cute.

Ughhhh, come on. Now that I’m back to human, I have to use some intelligence.

Xiao Yu encouraged himself.

I chose this road, and I shall stick to it.

Anyway, he had pissed off the lawyer. Now he could only wait for the summon ticket from the court now.

Xiao Yu went online to check on past court procedures. If the information found online was accurate, then before he would be prosecuted, there would still be a period of time when his movements would not be restricted.

During that period, he must meet Yan Jin in person no matter what.

To meet and explain everything.

According to Old Wu’s information, Yan Jin should be holding the funeral for his pet during this time and would not be free to care about anything else.

Honestly speaking, this was the first time Xiao Yu had ever heard of a funeral being held for over a week. In addition to that, this was also the first time he had heard of a pet funeral.

Xiao Yu browsed through the comments online and the majority of the netizens were praising Yan Jin for having such loyalty. He could only wonder if perhaps it was he, the one who felt that the proceedings strange, was the weird one?

At first, when Xiao Yu had heard about the funeral, he felt that it would be the perfect opportunity to meet Yan Jin. It was only later that Old Wu told him the depressing news –

The funeral could not be attended by anyone whose surname was Xiao.

Frustrated and aggrieved, Xiao Yu could only give up on catching Yan Jin at the funeral and look for other options instead.

Xiao Yu continued pacing – sitting on the couch, tilting his head, falling back on the couch, getting up, and walking back to the doorway. Maybe even God was feeling bad for him and to help him end the meaningless pacing, the doorbell rang.

Ding-dong.

“Coming,” Xiao Yu shouted as he went to open the door.

He headed towards the door. It would only take him around ten seconds to open it.

In those ten seconds, the thought ‘who could it be’ filled Xiao Yu’s mind.

It was most probably one of his colleagues from SI. However, he had told Old Wu to inform his coworkers that he would like to rest peacefully at home. How could someone be so ignorant as to disturb him? Old Wu was a reliable person, so if someone was planning to visit him, he would have informed him through QQ messenger beforehand. Not that he had many friends who were close enough to visit him anytime they wanted. Could it be Lin Zhou?

In those ten seconds, many questions appeared in Xiao Yu’s mind. Thankfully, he would find out soon.

Xiao Yu opened the door to find in front of him a person he had not expected.

To describe her as a middle-aged woman would not be accurate; she had black hair that was clipped neatly at the back of her head, an appropriate pair of jade pendant earrings that brightened her pale-looking face, and eyes that told a story.

However, the obvious wrinkles at the edges of her eyes and slightly sunken eye bags indicated her age.

“…… Aunt Fang.”

Xiao Yu took half a step back to invite the person in.

“There’s no need.” The woman’s voice was cold and arrogant. Even as the years had left their mark on her looks, it seemed as if nothing had left even a scratch on her icy-cold heart.

“I came here to ask why the money for the past six months hasn’t been transferred yet. Why wasn’t it transferred within the first few days of March as usual?”

Xiao Yu stammered for a moment before he spoke. “I’m sorry. I was quite agitated after winning a grand prize, and I forgot about it. I will transfer the money within the next two days. Is that okay?”
