Mu Ning packed up and came out of the room, and saw Gu Zhiyin carrying the cat and about to throw it out of the window.
She was so frightened that her nerves exploded, and she immediately rushed over, snatched the cat from his hands, and held it tightly in her arms.
"Gu Zhiyin, what are you crazy about? If you don't want to raise it, you can't just throw it out. This is the 30th floor! Are you so cruel?"
This was scarier than the cat abuse videos she had seen online.
Gu Zhiyin saw her holding the cat nervously, and knew that she had misunderstood. He did not explain, but snorted coldly, "You are so protective of the little beast?"
"Should I protect it? If I hadn't stopped you just now, the Animal Protection Association would have arrested you and sent you to jail." Mu Ning turned red with anger and pushed him angrily, "It's okay if you don't have love, but you still want to throw me away. My cat, do you want to throw it away and then tell me that it ran away accidentally?"
He smiled faintly, "You miss me so much?"
"Don't you know what your virtues are?"
Gu Zhiyin flicked the cigarette ashes and looked down from top to bottom, passing through her low-necked sweater and landing on the deep hook, where there was a hickey.
He chuckled casually, "What virtues do I have?"
Mu Ning rolled his eyes, "You are so crazy and crazy, but you still have the nerve to ask me. If you dared to throw it from the 30th floor just now, I would..."
He leaned against the window and took a puff of cigarette. The cold wind blew away the thin smoke. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Just..." Mu Ning was so angry that she almost wanted to break up. He suddenly bent over and stared at her eyebrows, "Just what? Are you getting angry at me because of this little beast?"
Although he was smiling, there was a strong sense of oppression. Mu Ning remembered that he was on the bed and punched him angrily. He turned away angrily and said, "Gu Zhiyin, don't bully me."
Not to mention bullying, he just wanted to know whether Nervous Cat still favored him in Ning Ning's heart.
Gu Zhiyin chuckled and straightened up, "Let's go back to our old house."
"Where's the cat?"
"Close the toilet."
"Close the toilet..." Mu Ning suddenly raised his head, "Do you agree to raise it?"
"Hurry up, you're late."
Gu Zhiyin smoked his cigarette and walked out the door.
Mu Ning hurriedly went to put the cat away. Of course, she did not listen to Gu Zhiyin's instructions to close the toilet. Instead, she locked the cat in an unoccupied guest room. She put cat food, cat litter box and water in it, and touched it before leaving. He touched its head and said, "I'll be back after dinner. Just be at home."
After Mu Ning went out, he followed Gu Zhiyin into the elevator.
"Did you never want to throw it away?"
Gu Zhiyin put her hands in her belt, looked at her reflection in the car, and chuckled, "Well, I'm scaring it."
Mu Ning was stunned. He seemed to be laughing at her for being stupid, but he didn't realize it until now.
Mu Ning blushed, "Are you kidding me?"
Gu Zhiyin smiled but said nothing.
"Why are you scaring it?"
"Who asked me to build my study?"
"Are you...are you stupid? It's a cat, what can it understand?"
Gu Zhiyin glanced at her frivolously, "Whether it's a mouse or a cat, you must listen to me at home, and you must do the same."
When the elevator reached the first negative floor, Gu Zhiyin strode out.
"Hurry up, keep up."
This man is really a chauvinist. Mu Ning touched his nose and caught up with him.
Mu Ning got into the passenger seat and watched Gu Zhiyin drive himself, "Uncle Gu, I noticed that you don't seem to be using a driver recently."
"Give them a holiday."
"Huh? The holiday starts so early this year?" And Gu Zhiyin has several drivers, don't they all work in shifts?
"Didn't you ask me to be a good boss?"
Mu Ning turned to look at him, her eyes burning slightly. He listened to her words and remembered them in his heart.
Gu Zhiyin turned on the heater without raising his eyes, "Fasten your seat belt, I'll drive faster so you don't fear getting scolded."
Mu Ning felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy when he thought about facing the entire Gu family.
"Uncle Gu, let's go back after dinner."
"You want to spend the night there?"
Gu Zhiyin drove out, and Mu Ning looked at the streets on both sides, "I don't want to. I feel stressed even if I eat with them and spend the night."
"Are you afraid of them?"
"Why am I not afraid?"
Gu Zhiyin laughed, "Where did your courage go when you were a child?"
When Mu Ning was first adopted, she lived with them in the old house. At that time, she had a wild temper and was simply a little devil. She would either pull out the flowers planted by the old lady or burn her uncle's books. She would often There was a lot of commotion in the house.
The Gu family had a headache just looking at her, so they called Gu Zhiyin every three days to complain. Gu Zhiyin was so annoyed that she couldn't do anything about it, and she was also worried about what the Gu family would do to Mu Ning when she was away, so she took her out.
In fact, sometimes, it's not entirely Mu Ning's fault. The Gu family just couldn't stand a country girl like her. She was so lucky that she took advantage of her. She was listed in the Gu family and relied on the life provided by the Gu family to change her destiny.
Therefore, children of the same age often humiliated her. In their eyes, Mu Ning had to be obedient like a servant because she was favored by the Gu family. However, they did not know that Mu Ning had a naughty temperament and did not obey discipline.
"That was because I was ignorant when I was young, and now I am thin-skinned."
"When I asked you to behave, you insisted on making trouble. Now I ask you to be thick-skinned. You can't withstand the pressure." Gu Zhiyin sighed helplessly, "Why does Ning Ning always like to sing the opposite?"
Mu Ning lowered his head and whispered, "It's because they look down on me."
Gu Zhiyin didn't say anything, she said again.
"I was not born in a family, and I don't know how to get along with the relatives of the Gu family. It would be great if I could make the elders happy like Gu Yunsi. I'm not stupid, but I would feel embarrassed in front of them."
Mu Ning has a very weak concept of family affection. In fact, Gu Zhiyin is the same as her, but Gu Zhiyin is more experienced than her and knows how to deal with it.
"Ning Ning, no matter what they say later, don't listen to them."
"Yeah." Mu Ning nodded, "I won't cause trouble for Uncle Gu."
Gu Zhiyin controlled the steering wheel with one hand and touched her head with the other hand, "Be good."
On the way to the Gu family's old home, Gu Zhiyin gave Mu Ning a vaccination.
Mu Ning also made some psychological preparation for himself. No matter what happens later, he must give face to his elders.
As expected, since they were the last to arrive, the elders of the Gu family all looked displeased.
Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, all the descendants of the Gu family are present, ranging from an eighty-year-old man to a child in his arms.
Everyone has taken their seats, except Gu Zhiyin and Mu Ning.
As you can imagine, that scene was simply... a hellish trial of prisoners.
Mu Ning carefully followed Gu Zhiyin into the restaurant.
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at them.
The key point is that no one has spoken yet, and everyone has a serious look on their face.
The air is quiet and depressing.
Every pore in Mu Ning's body was so nervous that he didn't even dare to make a sound while walking.
She wore light makeup today and wore an apricot-colored woolen skirt with a light-colored blouse and sweater. She took off her coat when she entered the house. The whole outfit was not vulgar or ostentatious, simple and well-behaved, and very suitable for wearing in front of the elders.
In the past, Gu Yunsi had ridiculed her for dressing like a country bumpkin. Later, she came wearing a red suit and wanted to be more festive. Gu Yunsi also said that she, an adopted daughter, dressed in such a high-profile manner, deliberately stole the limelight from her master.
She had suffered a lot, so she knew she had to dress low-key, but without causing Gu Zhiyin to lose face.
"Gu Zhiyin, you know what time it is now. Dinner starts at half past seven. You made us wait for you for so long."
"You didn't come earlier. I wonder if it's the Chinese New Year today. We set out from home and got here in the morning. It seems like he really doesn't take us seriously."
"There are so many of us, but just waiting for him, the food will get cold."
"What are you talking about, uncle? Isn't there someone behind him?"
