he's gone.
She was stunned for a moment, and only when the cold wind made the little black dog she was holding shiver did she quickly go back into the house.
She turned on the heater, then remembered that the puppy might have been outside freezing all night, so the girl stood stiffly in front of the air conditioner, holding the dog, basking in the warm air.
The little guy in my arms is very obedient, unlike him; dogs are more obedient than people.
She could easily guess that the puppy was left to her by Lin Mo; the puppy was very clean, and it still had the vaccination tag on it.
It's obvious at a glance that the dog owner deliberately abandoned it.
Just like Lin Mo deliberately abandoned her.
"Good boy, good boy..."
Holding the puppy like a baby, patting its back, Li Qingran didn't know how to raise a puppy, but she had read many parenting manuals and other maternal and infant books.
Raising a puppy is probably not much different from raising a baby.
But before she could pat it a few times, she noticed the puppy was biting her finger. Or rather, it wasn't biting, but rather licking it. The puppy was also making whimpering noises, like it was both angry and crying.
Li Qingran frowned. This dog was just like Lin Mo, always biting people as soon as it opened its mouth.
I washed my hands, put the puppy down, and then picked up my phone to look up information.
"Teeth grinding...?"
Li Qingran looked down at the little black dog; it was acting up again, chewing on its slippers and toes.
She's just like him.
Look closely, the dog's paws are white, the tip of its tail is also white, and the rest of its body is shiny black.
It looks really good, like wearing white gloves.
Li Qingran kicked it, and the puppy was very light. It was easily knocked over by her kick, and then it pounced on her slipper with its teeth bared and claws out.
She had no choice but to pick it up again, find a compressed biscuit in the refrigerator, and stuff it into the puppy's mouth.
“When Lin Mo bites people randomly... you can’t just stop him like this. He has to be scolded by Qing Ran or let him touch him before he will stop.”
It's easier to understand puppies than people.
The dog was calmed down, the heating was turned on, and the tears had dried.
What else should she do in her day...?
Without him, the world felt so small. Li Qingran didn't know what she was living for. Now that she had a little dog, it seemed like she had taken on a bit more responsibility.
"Do you think Lin Mo will come back to Qing Ran after I raise you?"
The aloof young woman tapped the puppy's nose. The puppy looked at her blankly, then barked twice before continuing to nibble on its biscuit.
"Will do."
Li Qingran confirmed the answer for the puppy, then looked out the misty window.
Because a lot of firecrackers were set off and the weather wasn't very good, I won't be going out today.
Li Qingran went to the kitchen and made two breakfasts. She suddenly realized the dog's usefulness.
Her habits were always shared with Lin Mo. For example, she would cook rice for both of them, pour water for both of them, and when doing laundry, she would think of Lin Mo's clothes and wash them together as well.
"Eat."
As soon as the food bowl was placed down, the puppy immediately abandoned its chew biscuit and hopped towards the bowl.
"Wait a minute, you should drink water first thing in the morning." Li Qingran picked up the puppy again. The puppy didn't bark, but its little tail wagged like an electric fan.
She filled a small bowl with water and let the dog drink it first before letting it eat its breakfast.
The girl was eating breakfast, lost in thought.
Staring blankly, she occasionally raised her hand to rub her eyes, checking if she had been crying. If she had...
Then cry.
Anyway, I can't feel it anymore. The tears in my heart have all been shed, it's just that I can't stop the physical tears.
It took almost an hour to eat breakfast.
The plate was always full, filled with tears.
After the puppy finished eating, it began to doze off. When it woke up, it crawled to Li Qingran's side and started tearing at her slippers again, which finally snapped Li Qingran out of her daze.
She thought she should give the dog a name.
Lin Mo always liked to call girls "baby," and this little dog was also a girl, and a dark-skinned one at that.
Let's call it Ink Treasure then.
For some reason, the moment she decided on the name in her heart, her tears seemed to fall more slowly... and time seemed to slow down as well.
...
"Sir...are you sure you want to pay the medical bills?"
Are you a patient's family member?
"It's bound to happen sooner or later, so hurry up, I'm in a rush."
"But the patient has only just started the examination and hasn't decided whether or not to undergo treatment..." the nurse said, looking troubled.
"If I've already paid, can I refuse to use it?"
"Too..."
"So, the total is 193,000 yuan..."
Lin Mo swiped his card directly and left his phone number, saying, "The hospital can contact me for any further expenses."
He then rubbed his temples and stormed out of the hospital.
He can't rest yet; he still has a business deal to discuss.
Buy a small shop that can support the girl's survival.
Chapter 171 The Heart Thief
"Oh!"
"Stab!"
In the spacious, luxurious duplex apartment, Hu Yu'en locked herself in her room, covering her ears. Outside, there was a constant sound of things being smashed, and every now and then, the sharp, piercing sound of glass vases shattering.
That was her mother, a mother who had been hurt in love again.
My mother became like this after coming home drunk late at night.
Hu Yu'en dared not go out, nor did she want to, because her own heart was more broken than those smashed bottles and jars.
She couldn't comfort anyone; if you had to say, Hu Yu'en still hated her own home.
If her family weren't so wealthy, and if her mother had ever considered adopting a boy from the county's welfare home, she would definitely have chosen him at first sight.
She would treat him 100% better, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Jiang Wanfeng treated him.
This home will definitely be different.
He and she were deeply immersed in the ambiguous feelings of youth, unable to extricate themselves. They liked each other but were too shy to confess. She could tease him often, hide in his arms when she wanted to cry, and sneak into his bed under the pretense of being afraid of the dark.
Slowly, gradually, they confirmed their feelings for each other. From beginning to end, he would only love her. The two of them could unite to fight against their mother's discipline; she would be responsible for talking back and running away from home, and Lin Mo would elope with her... Hiding under the moon, quietly waiting for the sunrise, sharing him with no one...
Hu Yu'en put on her headphones, curled up in bed, and opened that little penguin chat app for what felt like the umpteenth time today, scrolling through all the little moments she shared with him.
She had shown him everything, practically handed the person over to him, how could she just leave her behind...?
Did Jiang Wanfeng force herself on me? Tsk, she must suspect me now. I should have gotten Lin Mo drunk again, and forced myself on her too.
This was clearly not something a student should be thinking about, but Hu Yu'en didn't see anything unreasonable about it. She even considered that even if Jiang Wanfeng forced himself on her first, it wouldn't matter.
She's rich, and money can do anything. She could just spend some money to drug Lin Mo and take him home. Although she'd never actually done it, that's how it always happened in comics...
If she couldn't have Lin Mo's first time, then she'd have to do it again. As long as she got pregnant first, no amount of crying or fussing from Jiang Wanfeng would be of any use...
Hu Yu'en simply couldn't believe that Lin Mo would truly love Jiang Wanfeng so much that he would abandon Li Qingran. Therefore, she was certain that Jiang Wanfeng had done something dirty.
They definitely took advantage of Lin Mo's sense of responsibility.
Who wouldn't take advantage? She would too. Since she's going to do something shady... then let's do it. She's rich; she'll just drop out of school and cling to him for life. Nothing else matters; getting him is the most important thing...
Jiang Wanfeng forced her to do it. She didn't want to, but she couldn't accept it, couldn't accept never being able to be close to him again...
Isn't Miss Fox likable? What did the fox do wrong...?
She did nothing wrong; she simply fell in love with someone she would never meet again in her life. He was hers, his alone, and she had to take him back.
The fox has endured so much for so long, having been a fox trapped on the wall, a humble fox, and a fox secretly in love. This time, she's going to be the worst fox spirit ever.
"Hmm..."
Unable to hold back a sob, Hu Yu'en turned off her phone. The dark emotions that welled up inside her surged uncontrollably, assaulting her mind.
Romantic and sweet love doesn't matter anymore; everything will come naturally after I have him.
She wiped away her tears and began calculating how much pocket money she had left. First, she would play the victim, lie to Lin Mo that it was the last time they would meet, lure him to a bar, get him drunk... or drug him?
Never mind... as long as this matter is settled first, that's all that matters. This has to be kept a secret from my mother; she and Lin Mo need to hide, which means they'll need to rent a place until she gets pregnant... She doesn't want to go to school anymore; she'll use her savings to support herself and Lin Mo for the rest of their lives... that should be enough. If not, she'll ask her father, whom she hasn't contacted in a long time, for some more, though she doesn't know if he'll acknowledge her...
How much will it cost to raise a child? What about the child's future...? Never mind.
First, once you're pregnant, you absolutely must brag to Jiang Wanfeng and see how your best friend cries... It seems a little hard to bear, no, you have to be ruthless. She's been so ruthless to you, Hu Yu'en, Jiang Wanfeng hasn't been good to you, and most importantly, she's not good to Lin Mo either, so you're right, you're the one who's good to Lin Mo...
Hu Yu'en became excited, a strange light shining in her red and swollen eyes as she began to calculate the precise amount of money needed...
"I still have 30,000 yuan, but Mom has a card she said she'd give it to me later..."
"Bam! Boom boom boom!"
The sudden banging on the door made the fox, who was already huddled up, tremble.
"Open the door, Hu Yu'en, open the door!" came her mother's hoarse voice from outside the door.
"I...I don't want to!" Hu Yu'en screamed, wrapping herself in the blanket in fear.
There was a moment of silence outside the door, then the banging softened into gentle knocking.
"Yu'en, Mom has something to tell you, open the door..."
The girl, trembling under the covers, was stunned.
In her memory, when she was very young, her mother and father had a fight, and on the night of their divorce, her mother came home drunk, then went on a rampage, smashing things and even breaking into her room and tearing apart her favorite dolls...
As she spoke, she resolved that from now on, she and her mother would have to become stronger and stronger, and they couldn't lose to their father's illegitimate brother...
Since then, her mother has become increasingly strict with her, leaving her with almost no time for entertainment. Occasionally, she would overhear her mother arguing with the company's shareholders, though she couldn't understand what they were saying.
But she did know one thing: the company wasn't doing well; her mother was being suppressed, and the shareholders were arguing about splitting up the business...
Until these last two months, my mother met a man who seemed very capable, who appeared to be helping her resolve many issues at her company, and whose relationship with my mother was also growing stronger...
But now, it's clear that he's encountered another unfaithful man.
Hu Yu'en knew nothing of this, and she never wanted to understand; all she knew was that she had more money than she could ever spend...
For some reason, this time seemed different. Her mother's tone suddenly became so gentle. Even though her relationship with her mother had improved a lot with Lin Mo's help, it shouldn't have been this submissive, even somewhat humble...
What happened?
The girl, her heart broken, got out of bed and opened the door.
A middle-aged woman who looked about 80% like her reeked of alcohol, her face was haggard, and there were traces of blood on her arm.
Hu Yu'en couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. The mother she remembered wasn't like this... even when she was angry, she always had a proud air about her.
"mom..."
"Yu'en, do you want to go with your mother?" the mother asked, her eyes filled with gloom.
Hu Yu'en trembled, vaguely understanding that "leave"... seemed to lean more towards death.
What happened? Even a simple emotional setback shouldn't cause this, why...?
"Mom...no..." Hu Yu'en hugged her mother in fear, something she hadn't done in a very, very long time.
The mother also endured immense pressure; her strictness towards her was not unfounded. Both sides were victims in this family conflict.
