Chapter 240: That Female Praying Mantis
The vet carried the kitten over and checked its front legs. He took another x-ray and during the whole process, the kitten was very cooperative and didn’t move much.
“The bone has grown pretty well, keep it up.” He petted Little Bean on the head again. However, it had a listless look but looked cute at the same time.
“Don’t worry,” He laughed and said, “It has almost grown back. So long as he doesn’t move too much. Just that…” He touched the kitten’s broken leg. “Did you accidentally step onhim? The man who brought him here didn’t say but I know that with such a small bone, it must have been broken because of a high heel. I had assumed it had been abused but after seeing you, I know you couldn’t have done it on purpose. He was a little cheeky at times and he might not have time to dodge.”
Yan Huan wrapped the kitten in her coat and the scarf on her face fell a little. However, the vet didn’t notice much, or perhaps his gaze was on the kitten. Or perhaps, Yan Huan wasn’t as famous for everyone to notice her.
“Thank you,” she nodded to the vet and turned around before pulling up her scarf. When she walked out, the snow storm outside buffeted against her face. That slashing pain carried with it unspeakable pain.
She pouted as she walked forward with big steps. The wind blew up her blouse at times and there was a desolate feeling that it brought with it.
She walked into the elevator and rested her back against it until it opened again. A woman walked in from outside, a woman dressed in black. She looked like a nun.
Yan Huan lifted her head, her face still buried under the scarf. She carried the cat properly as she stared expressionlessly at the strong-looking woman who had incredibly neat hair.
She did indeed guess correctly. The woman’s nickname was Abbess Miejue.
She got off at the 13th floor while Yan Huan got off at the 15th floor. She placed the cat down to let Yi Ling take a look.
Yi Ling carried the lethargic looking Little Bean.
Besides just now when she was carried home and now, Little Bean didn’t move a lot. If it was in the past, it would have jumped up and down asking for food now.
“I will go buy groceries.”
Yan Huan carried her own bag and prepared to leave home again.
“You want to go out in such cold weather? Why don’t we order delivery?”
Yi Ling didn’t really want Yan Huan to go out as it was too cold. Wasn’t getting delivery much easier now?
“It is alright, I will buy myself. We are not just eating one or two meals.” Yan Huan didn’t have the habit of getting delivery; mainly because the weather was bad now and it is tough on the delivery guy and she wanted to cook something for herself too. Just as she opened the door, she thought of something. It was almost as if she still owed the man a favour, a promise.
She had said before she was going to treat him to a meal.
However, she had given him such a big dressing down. She adjusted her clothes and felt that she had been too much this time. They had spent almost 2 generations together and even though she wasn’t alive for very long in her past life, she could be sure of this man’s character to a certain extent.
She was definitely too hot-headed.
She had no idea now and perhaps she had ruined the image of a good person in her. However, who in this world would be a good person for the sake of it? Someone who talked about doing good every day and pitied others but was stingy.
Someone who was always bring troubles with him and not leave a back door for people. Yet, he would use his own blood and flesh to help others.
Who can be a good person?
The definition of one is blurry too.
She admitted that she was too hot-headed and had been a little harsh. But what could she do now? Her promise was important and she didn’t want to go against her words but it seemed like her pride matters more.
Sorry, she couldn’t bring her pride to do it.
In actual fact, Yan Huan had nothing in her two lives, except for her pride. And sometimes iher pride could really harm her.
She wrapped her face more tightly and only showed her eyes. In weather like this, it was more comfortable staying at home. However, how many people can afford to laze at home and not run around to make a living.
She went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and meat. She carried a lot of stuff and prepared to go home. These groceries were sufficient for them to eat a few days. She didn’t have much things to do for the next few days and she could rest a while at home. Maybe there would be work for her when spring comes.
When she was almost home, she heard a man and woman talking.
Yan Huan wasn’t very curious. The two were whispering, why would she listen to what they have to say secretly? She wasn’t a pervert. However just as she was about to leave, it was almost as if she heard a familiar voice.
It was like Lu Yi’s.
She didn’t want to hear other people’s voices.
But if it was Lu Yi, how? She had a sort of curiosity.
Should she leave?
Should she listen?
At the end of the day, she couldn’t bear to leave. Her legs helped her make the decision as she had already walked to the closest spot from the voice.
In the cold wind, the man and woman weren’t far from her and at this moment, the trees that didn’t wither in the winter was blocking her from them.
“Lu Yi, what is the meaning of this?”
Fang Zhu had a cold stare on her face as she lifted her head. The hair on her head was still combed back neatly and her clothes wasn’t creased at all.
Lu Yi didn’t reply. He only stared expressionlessly at his ex-girlfriend. How could she bear to step on and break the kitten’s front leg?
Animals were human’s best friends and women all love cute animals.
Just like Yan Huan, just like his mother, just like Lei Qingyi’s mother. Even a big dummy like Lei Qingyi like animals too. None of them would hurt a small animal. Even if they didn’t like it, they would just ignore it and would never break a kitten’s leg. How much hate must she have to be able to do something like that?
Legend has it that a female praying mantis is like this too. She would go straight for the brains of a male praying mantis.
That was the animal world. It was for survival and to breed.
What about Fang Zhu? In the entire animal kingdom, what kind of role does she play?
“Lu Yi!” Fang Zhu held back her anger. It had been like this for a long time. He didn’t say a single sentence or even a word. This was unbearable and she couldn’t take it anymore.
