Chapter 25: The Frightened Xiaofu

That cute little expression could really warm a person’s heart.

It was a pity that someone had no heart. Li Dan and her daughter’s faces were extremely ugly.

Xiaofu meowed softly, happy to see its Little Master.

Zhizhi’s childish nature finally showed itself after seeing Xiaofu. She raised Xiaofu in front of her and pressed her face against it with a smile.

Shi Cui and Han Li looked at Zhizhi lovingly. Seeing that Zhizhi was happy, they were also happy.

Xiaofu happily played around with Zhizhi, struggling to jump off the ground. Zhizhi quickly called out, “Xiaofu!”

Xiaofu thought that Zhizhi was playing a game, so it ran forward. However, Li Dan and Gu Zhen were right in front of it.

Before Xiaofu could reach Gu Zhen, the latter screamed and jumped onto the sofa. She threw herself into Li Dan’s arms and cried, “Mommy, I’m scared!”

Xiaofu was shocked and ran away with a whoosh.

“Xiaofu!” Zhizhi was startled.

She wanted to chase after the cat, but she was too scared to move when she saw Gu Zhen crying.

Han Li’s expression changed. She quickly pulled Zhizhi into her arms and ordered the maid standing at the door, “Go get Xiaofu back!”

“Don’t worry, Xiaofu won’t go far,” she comforted Zhizhi.

Li Dan raised her voice to comfort Gu Zhen, “Zhenzhen, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Aiyo, our Zhenzhen is just timid. She can’t be compared to those wild children from the outside.”

Han Li held onto Zhizhi and said to Li Dan and her daughter, “I’m sorry, we must have frightened Zhenzhen.”

Gu Yu looked at them in surprise, “eh? I remember that Zhenzhen isn’t afraid of cats or dogs. Doesn’t your Grandma also have a cat?”

Li Dan’s hand that was patting her daughter’s back paused.

Gu Zhen left Li Dan’s arms and sobbed pitifully. “Auntie, you scared Zhenzhen to death. Why is that cat black? The black cat was too scary and ugly! Mom? Didn’t they say that black cats were inauspicious? Why do people keep black cats?”

Li Dan secretly praised her daughter in her heart for being clever, and hurriedly said, “Aiyo, that’s right! Sister-in-law, you see, even Zhenzhen knows that black cats are inauspicious. How can you keep a black cat at home?”

“Our Zhizhi likes it,” Han Li replied indifferently.

“Xiaofu isn’t ugly, Xiaofu is auspicious!” Zhizhi’s eyes reddened as she whispered and leaned into her mother’s arms.

Han Li touched his daughter’s head and said in a soft and tender voice, “Of course, Xiaofu’s not ugly, it’s very cute. They’ll get it back soon, be good.”

Li Dan rolled her eyes, but there was nothing she could do.

Han Li came from a well-known family. Gu An and Han Ze were childhood sweethearts. The Han family and the Gu family had been friends for generations. The Han family did not have many descendants and had only one son for several generations. When it came to Gu Sen, he and Han Li’s father were even closer. When Old Han passed away, he entrusted his son to Gu Sen. Gu Sen regarded Han Li as his own son, and even Han Ze respected Gu Sen and his wife as his own grandparents.

As soon as Han Li graduated from college, Gu An could not wait to marry her. Han Li was not good with words, but she was born to be a young lady. Everyone in her in-laws and paternal family treated her like a treasure. Even her sister-in-law and aunt became best friends.

Li Dan would never be able to catch up to her status no matter how hard she tried. She was usually very respectful to Han Li, but today, she was so angry that she could not care less.

It was too hard to swallow her anger today, so she might as well go all out. She looked at Shi Cui. “Old Madam, don’t you agree? Our family is still very particular about Feng Shui. It’s not auspicious to have black cats, don’t you think so?”

A maid rushed in with Xiaofu in her arms and handed it to Zhizhi. “Young Miss, Xiaofu is here.”

Zhizhi took Xiaofu and carefully held it in her arms, not letting it run away again. She raised her head and said to the maid, “Thank you, Sister.”

The maid smiled and left.

Xiaofu squeaked in Zhizhi’s arms and let her carry it.

Shi Cui smiled. “Gu Cheng, you might not know yet, right? Old Master said that Zhizhi is our Lucky Star. Our Lucky Star can do whatever she wants and take care of whatever she wants! Not to mention a black cat, even if she wanted to raise a tiger, those men would probably get it for her immediately! Hehehe.”

When she laughed, Li Dan had no choice but to follow suit.

“Mom, you still don’t know, do you?” Gu Hao’s eyes turned and she smiled. Yesterday, when Gu Su came back, he fired the maid who took care of Zhizhi. He said that she was not by Zhizhi’s side to take care of her after she woke up from her afternoon nap. Since when did Gu Su care about these things? It can be seen how much he cares about his sister!”
