Just when Mother Shang was about to handle the paperwork, someone suddenly came over to tell her that someone had paid for a year’s fees, and there was no need to transfer the ward.
"Who?" Mother Shang asked in surprise.
Since the Shang family incident, those people from the Shang family had long since fled.
And among the remaining people, how many could actually lend a hand?
"I don’t know, it was a man, wearing a mask and hat, quite tall. Oh, right, he was holding a cat."
A cat?
Mother Shang remembered Shang Yucheng saying that Shang Qi had a cat... was it him?
Shang Qi left the hospital, placing Chuzheng in the passenger seat.
——Why did you help them?
Shang Qi fastened the seatbelt: "Yue Ban, she insisted on giving birth to me. For so many years, although she didn’t protect me, she didn’t hurt me either."
He did not do it for Shang Yucheng.
He did it just for the one who gave birth to him.
——Have you ever thought, maybe it’s the Shang family that owes you?
Shang Qi: "Hm?"
——You’ve interacted with many people for work, and nothing has ever happened.
Shang Qi fell silent, murmuring: "We haven’t been in contact for long."
——How long have you interacted with the Shang family? Wasn’t it just a brief encounter?
Shang Qi: "..."
——It was the Shang family who said you were a disaster, they imposed it on you.
——Shang Qi, you never were.
[Add something, Miss!] King’s Account gives live lessons.
Add what?
[You are my lucky star.]
"..."
No way!
Whenever I meet him, I get unlucky, where’s the luck?
[...] A rotten piece of wood can’t be carved!
Even if Miss occasionally gets enlightened, it’s just occasionally!
When she should be straightforward, there’s no hesitation at all.
Shang Qi never thought someone would say this to him one day, he never was a disaster star...
Whether he owes the Shang family or the Shang family owes him, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Shang Qi glanced at the snowy Little Bun on the passenger seat, exhaled a breath, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
"Let’s go home."
——Hm.
-
The downfall of the Shang family became a hot topic in the circles, but with time passing, gradually no one mentioned it anymore.
Even if it was brought up occasionally, everyone just shook their heads.
After Shang Qi recuperated, he continued with his tour plans, and after a series of performances, it roughly ended by the end of the year.
He still had some work later, but Shang Qi declined them all.
At this moment, he was opening a can of cat food, pouring it into a dish, and placing it on the flower bed.
Several big cats emerged from the bushes, meowing at Shang Qi in a flattering manner.
Serving food makes one a boss!
Chuzheng was lying in Shang Qi’s arms, watching him carefully put away the cans, and then he stood up carrying her with one hand.
He still had to deliver quite a lot of cat food to other places afterward; this job used to be done by bodyguards, but Shang Qi was in the mood to check it out today.
Shang Qi ended up discovering that his cats seemingly owned the whole city.
From morning till afternoon, and only barely managed to finish distributing.
Chuzheng lay on the sofa, looking at the game panel.
[Main Line: Please let the player become the Queen of Cats Progress 80%]
The progress stopped moving at this point.
Even if she went to the neighboring city to recruit subordinates, it didn’t work...
How am I supposed to play like this?
Shang Qi, fresh out of the shower, sat beside Chuzheng, glanced at the tablet spread in front of her: "What are you doing?"
"Buying land."
"Buying land?" Shang Qi was puzzled: "What’s the land for?"
"Raising cats."
"..."
Buying land to raise cats?
The paperwork for buying land is complicated, surely a cat like Chuzheng couldn’t handle it; Shang Qi thought Chuzheng would ask him for help, but he waited for two days and Chuzheng didn’t come to find him.
Then not long after, Shang Qi saw the relevant documents at home.
Shang Qi: "!!!!"
How did she manage to buy it!
Shang Qi called the boss of the bodyguards up to ask whether they helped Chuzheng buy the land.
Bodyguard Boss: "..."
Are you kidding me!
Even though Yue Ban is different from other cats, buying land sounds quite fantastical, right!
Clearly, the bodyguard team didn’t help either.
Shang Qi pondered for quite a while, still couldn’t figure out who Chuzheng had get it done by.
Feelings like his cat had another boyfriend outside kept rising.
This feeling was extremely unsettling.
"Yue Ban." Shang Qi went to find Chuzheng with a stern look.
Little Cat tilted her head, silently asking: What is it?
Shang Qi pointed at the documents spread on the table: "Who helped you with this?"
Chuzheng flipped open the documents, pointed at the last signature.
Isn’t it obvious? Can’t you see?
Seeing this, Shang Qi’s mind was flooded with ’my cat has a dog outside’, he forgot all common sense.
However...
"Du Pei? When did you get so close with him?" Close enough to have Du Pei help her buy land! He, as the proper caretaker, didn’t even get this kind of treatment!
——Not really.
It was him who toppled the Shang family.
Du Pei’s dealings were more convenient, so naturally, he was chosen for the task.
Good Person Card is for spoiling, no need to bother with these troublesome things.
"From now on let me handle these things, remember that."
Chuzheng half-heartedly nodded her head.
The result was she still didn’t look for Shang Qi next time.
Shang Qi: "..."
It felt like he was about to be abandoned.
During the New Year, Shang Qi took Chuzheng out, and someone snapped a picture which was posted online, the picture instantly went viral.
The man stood long and elegant, looking handsome, holding a snowy white cat, with a background completely blurred by the white snow.
This picture stirred quite a bit of heat at night, but the subjects didn’t respond much, one person and one cat happily enjoying dried fish for the New Year.
-
After buying the land, Chuzheng started building houses.
The budget was ample, thus the overall progress felt like it was on rocket fuel.
The style of the houses was similar to castles, occupying a large area, and nearby additional small buildings were constructed, it totally looked like a resort.
Shang Qi didn’t know why Chuzheng was building such a place.
Until...
Chuzheng moved those cats in.
Shang Qi: "..."
Is there no other place to spend the money?
Chuzheng also hired professionals to manage the place, everything the cats ate or used was of the highest quality.
People working there felt the cats were extremely lucky, living even better than humans.
Someone shot a video and uploaded it online, and Cat Castle quickly went viral, attracting many cat enthusiasts to visit.
The more videos were exposed online, the more people came.
Du Pei discussed with Chuzheng the possibility of charging a fee, which Chuzheng righteously refused.
The money spent with great effort shouldn’t be earned back.
Not only should it not be earned back, Chuzheng also had a wall built outside, prohibiting entry.
She built this place not for public viewing.
Moreover, with such a large flow of people, who knows if they carry any viruses; if something happened, it’d be devastating.
But people didn’t decrease, every day someone turned up wanting to enter, and in order to prevent them from climbing the wall, Shang Qi suggested they put up electric wires on the wall.
"This is not a solution," Shang Qi suggested to Chuzheng: "Why not carve out a space and let some bold cats move there and allow people to enter."
