Fan Minzhe got all the medicines the kitten needed and even bought freeze-dried and canned cat food for the kitten.

"Do you want to keep this cat? If so, let's go to the pet store and buy it cat food and cat litter."

Nie Zheng thought about Chong Jianzhi's attitude towards the kitten, even his dislike of riding in a car. If she brought the kitten home, Chong Jianzhi would be so angry that he would die, right?

"I want to raise one, but..."

"If it's inconvenient for you recently, I can take the kitten home and raise it. My mother likes kittens very much."

Nie Zheng knew that he was trying to allay her concerns, but she didn't want to cause trouble for Fan Minzhe.

While I was hesitating, Chong Jianzhi called.

“Why don’t you collect the payment?”

Nie Zheng was stunned.

"I transferred money to you via WeChat, but you took your cat to the doctor with nothing?"

It turned out that the reason my phone vibrated just now was because Chong Jianzhi had transferred money.

"Take the money." After a pause, "deal with the cat and don't take it home."

After hanging up the phone, Nie Zheng felt a little disappointed. He really didn't like cats.

But she still accepted the money transferred by Chong Jianzhi and then transferred it to Fan Minzhe.

"I've transferred the money I spent at the hospital to you. Can you please take care of the kitten for me? My house...is really not very convenient."

"It's all small stuff. I won't take the money, just treat me to a meal this weekend as a thank you gift."

Nie Zheng hesitated and nodded: "It's okay to eat, but you must accept the money."

Seeing Nie Zheng's insistence, Fan Minzhe had no choice but to click to collect the payment.

"Please give the kitten a name. After all, you are the one who saved it."

Seeing the kitten's black fur, Nie Zheng decisively said, "Let's call it Coal Ball, it suits its appearance."

After returning home, Chong Jianzhi sat on the sofa reading a magazine, and his complexion had returned to normal.

"Let Aunt Wang heat up some food for you." Chong Jianzhi looked up from the magazine calmly, "You're back too late."

"The kitten was seriously injured."

Chong Jianzhi saw that Nie Zheng's arms were empty and asked coldly, "Is the cat dead?"

I wanted to answer that the cat was not dead, but then I thought that Chong Jianzhi would definitely ask where the cat was.

Nie Zheng finally lied hesitantly: "Dead."

Sure enough, Chong Jianzhi just paused and didn't ask any more questions.

After dinner, Aunt Wang knocked on Nie Zheng's door with iodine and disinfectant alcohol in her hands.

"Xiao Zheng, the master said your arm was injured. Let me disinfect you."

Nie Zheng looked at her arm. Chong Jianzhi actually still remembered this injury. It was almost healed before she knew it...

"no need."

"Let me see it quickly. The young master said that he was scratched by a stray cat. This is no small matter. A stray cat may be carrying a virus!"

Nie Zheng showed her wound, and Wang Ma was stunned for a moment. The wound was indeed... too small.

"Xiao Zheng, the young master even noticed such a small wound on your arm. I guess he still cares about you."

Nie Zheng hummed vaguely, feeling strange in her heart that Chong Jianzhi was a little abnormal today.

After a few days of peace, Nie Zheng received another photo from Fan Minzhe. Coal Ball was sleeping soundly on the carpet, and the golden tabby cat next to him was licking his fur.

"Coal Ball has become a familiar figure in my home. When will you come to see it? Aren't we going to have dinner together? How about I bring Coal Ball along?"

Nie Zheng had a headache. It was not that she didn't want to have dinner with Fan Minzhe, but she was afraid that Chong Jianzhi would do something crazy if he knew that the two of them were still in contact.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Coal Ball ran towards her. It still remembered Nie Zheng, so as soon as Nie Zheng squatted down, it jumped directly into her arms.

Fan Minzhe stood at the door looking at the man and the cat, and couldn't help but walk up and touch Nie Zheng's head.

The moment she was touched, Nie Zheng dodged reflexively.

Fan Minzhe sensed her resistance, felt lost, and withdrew his hand awkwardly.

The two of them entered the restaurant, and before Nie Zheng even sat down, she heard someone calling her.

"Xiao Zheng?"

Standing opposite her was a man in a white silk shirt, dressed very flashily, waving and smiling at her.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"You don't recognize me. I'm Lou Fan, your brother's childhood friend! A few years ago, when you were still in junior high school, I went to your house. Have you forgotten?"

Nie Zheng frowned. The man in front of her was unrecognizable.

"I didn't expect you to have grown up so much. You are getting more and more beautiful. Lao Chong is quite good at taking care of people..."

Nie Zheng didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, a busty beauty came up behind Lou Fan and took his arm. "Boss Lou, why are you flirting with girls again after not seeing you for a while?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This is my brother's sister." Lou Fan clarified with a smile, and then said to Nie Zheng, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Please say hello to your brother for me when you go back."

This encounter made Nie Zheng nervous, and her ominous premonition became stronger.

Sure enough, before the waiter served the food, Chong Jianzhi called.

"where?"

Nie Zheng's heart sank.

"Outside, having a meal with friends."

"Come out, my car is outside the restaurant."

"...Okay, I'll be right out."

After hanging up the phone, Nie Zheng's heart sank to the bottom.

Nie Zheng made an excuse to Fan Minzhe that she had something to do, touched Coal Ball's little black head reluctantly, and walked out of the restaurant.

She thought she would see an angry Chong Jianzhi, but there was only the driver in the car, and Chong Jianzhi was waiting for her at home.

As soon as she entered the house, Nie Zheng felt that the atmosphere was unusually cold.

Chong Jianzhi slowly came down from upstairs, stopped just a few inches away from her, and picked up a black cat hair from her.

"Isn't the cat dead?"

Nie Zheng took a deep breath: "Listen to my explanation."

"Okay." Chong Jianzhi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, "You explain."

"..."

"Nie Zheng." Chong Jianzhi lit a cigarette, pinched the cigarette butt with his fingertips, and took a light puff. "If it weren't for Lou Fan, I wouldn't have known that you were so courageous."

"I was just having a meal with my classmates... I don't think there's any need to tell you..."

"What about the cat?"

Nie Zheng suddenly felt guilty. There was nothing wrong with her having dinner with her classmates, but she lied to him about the cat.

"I'm sorry, I was just afraid that you wouldn't let me keep a cat—"

"If I don't let you raise it, you'll go ask someone else for it?"

Nie Zheng lowered her head unable to refute.

She thought he would be furious and threaten her not to contact Fan Minzhe again, but that didn't happen.

He calmly stood up and left.

It was so calm that Nie Zheng felt uneasy.

Sure enough, something happened the next day.

"Zheng Zheng, why did you answer the phone just now? Fan Minzhe was in a car accident!" Bai Chaochao's extremely anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Her head buzzed and Nie Zheng was speechless for a long time.

"Hello? Hello?"

"……how so?"

"It was yesterday afternoon, around 5 or 6 o'clock, Fan Minzhe was hit by a car on his way home!"

Five or six o'clock...

At that time, Fan Minzhe and I had just separated.

"The driver seemed drunk and drove directly onto the sidewalk. Fortunately, Fan Minzhe dodged quickly and his life is not in danger, but he is seriously injured. Zhengzheng, do you have time? Let's go to the hospital to see him later!"

The sudden car accident sent a chill down Nie Zheng's spine.

How could it be such a coincidence?

This matter must be related to Chong Jianzhi...

Chong Jianzhi was warning her!

"I have something to do now, so I won't go with you to see Fan Minzhe. When you get to the hospital, take a picture so I can see his condition..."

Nie Zheng hung up the phone.

That night, Chong Jianzhi came back very late.

Nie Zheng waited for him in the living room until almost dawn. When the door was opened, cold wind blew in. Nie Zheng suddenly woke up, stood up from the sofa, and looked into the eyes of the man behind the closed door.

"Is something wrong?"

"You did what happened to Fan Minzhe, didn't you?"

Doubt flashed across his mind: "What's the matter?"

"You hired someone to hit him, didn't you?" The tone of his voice became much higher. "You can hate me, but please don't implicate innocent people, okay? He's going to take the college entrance examination soon!"

Even though Nie Zheng was so excited, Chong Jianzhi remained calm.

After a moment of silence, he replied: "Fan Minzhe's matter is just a lesson for you. If you don't obey me again, I will let you know the true price of willfulness."
