Chapter 85: Chapter 85: And you, scumbag, you are just a poop scooper

10:30 AM.

On the living room sofa, Gu Yizhou was petting a cat.

That’s right!

Yan Luoxi was once again forced to work.

That dog of a man, Gu Yizhou, had caught her off guard, grabbing her by the scruff of her neck. He then carried her over to the sofa and started petting her furiously.

At first, Yan Luoxi had wanted to struggle and run away, but there was no escaping the dog man’s demonic grasp.

Figuring that since Gu Yizhou’s mom was still here, he probably wasn’t perverted enough to do anything weird to her right in front of his own mother, she decided it wasn’t worth the effort to struggle.

’Hmph... It’s definitely not because I wanted him to scratch my itches!’

’Hmph!’

’Right, definitely not!’

As for Gu Yizhou’s mom, she was currently tidying up his room, muttering and complaining the whole time.

Are all mothers in the world like this?

Gu Yizhou felt his room was perfectly tidy!

But his mom just had to think it was a mess!

Sigh~

What could Gu Yizhou say? He could only listen in silence.

A little while later,

Gu Yizhou saw his mom come out and hurriedly offered her a glass of warm water, trying to curry favor.

Chen Dongmei shot him a glance, but this time, she didn’t scold him. She silently took the water, had a sip, and sat down on the sofa.

"When did you get a cat?"

Chen Dongmei asked casually. "I didn’t see one last time I was here."

As she spoke, she reached out and gently stroked the little white cat’s head.

Yan Luoxi was currently enjoying Gu Yizhou’s massage so much that she couldn’t be bothered with anything else.

"Oh, a little while ago. Xiaobai was a stray I found outside."

Gu Yizhou explained casually.

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi, who had been blissfully enjoying herself, opened her eyes and shot him a look. ’You’re the stray cat, you dog of a man!’ she thought with disdain. ’No, wait, you should be a stray dog!’

"Xiaobai?"

After hearing Gu Yizhou’s explanation, Chen Dongmei’s brows furrowed slightly. "What kind of terrible name is that?"

’Right!’

’What a terrible name for that dog of a man to come up with!’

Yan Luoxi mentally cheered in agreement!

"Er..."

"You don’t think it’s a good name?"

"I think it’s great! Look, she’s snow-white all over without a single stray hair. The name Xiaobai fits her perfectly!"

Gu Yizhou retorted defensively.

After hearing this, Chen Dongmei couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

But she couldn’t be bothered to say any more.

The look of disdain in her eyes just became more and more obvious.

"By the way, what’s the status of that apartment with the employee discount from your company? Did you buy it yet?"

Chen Dongmei suddenly remembered the matter and asked.

"Oh, that. Not yet!"

Gu Yizhou said.

"What’s taking so long? Your company doesn’t seem very reliable!"

Chen Dongmei said with a frown.

"Yeah!"

"It’s really not reliable!"

He thought for a moment then added, "It looks like the company and the real estate agency are still going back and forth. At this rate, this batch of properties might be a long shot."

He was saying this on purpose, to give his mom a heads-up. That way, when he eventually told her the deal fell through and returned the money for her and his dad’s retirement, it would be easier for them to accept.

Listening to the mother and son’s conversation, Yan Luoxi couldn’t stop rolling her eyes internally.

’My company, a dignified conglomerate worth hundreds of billions, and you’re telling me it’s not reliable?????’

’This whole so-called apartment purchase is a lie made up by this dog of a man, Gu Yizhou. Of course it’s not reliable!’

’It’s just a pity I can’t talk right now, or I’d definitely expose this dog man’s lies on the spot!’

’Oh, right!’

’Speaking of which, that dog of a man used that money to play the stock market. I myself have already made so much!’

’That dog of a man has probably made a lot too.’

’Thinking about it, Yan Luoxi felt she needed to find a chance to test this dog of a man and see if he was just a blind cat who stumbled upon a dead mouse, or if he actually had real skill!’

’If he really is that skilled, then I’ll have to exploit him properly!’

’What?’

’You’re calling me a black-hearted boss?’

’Bullshit!’

’I’ve been bullied by him for so long here, don’t I deserve to collect some interest back from him?!’

’Besides!’

’One day, I will take back everything I’ve lost here!’

’Hmph hmph!’

Lost in thought, Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but let out a little whimper.

Gu Yizhou noticed that the sound Xiaobai was making was different from her usual purring. He looked down at her, a little puzzled.

Sensing Gu Yizhou’s gaze, Yan Luoxi quickly reined in her emotions.

’Hmph!’

’In this moment, I am the cat master!’

’And you, dog man, you are just a poop-scooper!’

’Although, you’ve never actually scooped my poop!’

Yan Luoxi shook her head. She went back to squinting her eyes, contentedly enjoying Gu Yizhou’s massage!

Nearby, Chen Dongmei watched her son cradling the cat with a doting expression, and her own face filled with helplessness.

She couldn’t resist calling out, "Hey, you brat!"

"Hm?"

Gu Yizhou paused, then turned to his mom. "What is it, my dearest Mother?"

Chen Dongmei: "..."

"Get lost!"

"If you use that passive-aggressive, smart-alecky tone with me again, don’t blame me for smacking you upside the head!"

she said, her face darkening.

Gu Yizhou: "Uh... (⊙o⊙)..."

Seeing him like that, Chen Dongmei couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and got up to walk toward the door.

Seeing his mom heading for the door, Gu Yizhou’s eyes lit up slightly. "Hey, Mom, are you leaving already?"

Hearing his words, Chen Dongmei froze for a second. She turned back, her face grim, and said coldly, "You’re that eager for me to leave? Am I getting in your way or something?"

"Uh..."

"I’m not, I didn’t, Mom, don’t you frame me!"

Alarmed, Gu Yizhou hurriedly pledged his loyalty. "Mom, I wouldn’t want you to leave! I wish you could be here every day! Um... Mom, you can stay here for as long as you want!"

The corner of Chen Dongmei’s mouth twitched slightly.

Even though she knew her brat was just talking nonsense, the storm clouds on her face cleared up a bit.

"But, Mom, where are you going?"

Gu Yizhou asked weakly.

"I’m going grocery shopping!"

"Or what, are we supposed to drink the northwest wind for lunch?!"

"Hmph!"

Chen Dongmei said irritably.

Without another word to her infuriating son, she changed her shoes and walked out the door.

"Phew..."

Watching his mom leave, Gu Yizhou quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He muttered to himself, "Dodged another bullet. Good thing I’m quick on my feet, ha!"

Hearing him muttering to himself, Yan Luoxi, who was lying on his lap, disdainfully rolled her eyes.

He used to be a king, until his mom showed up with a stick...

’Hmph, dog man, you had it coming!’

she thought to herself.

’Everyone meets their match!’

For some reason, seeing that guy Gu Yizhou get put in his place made her incredibly happy.

Just as she was feeling smug,

"PFFT~"

"BEEEEP..."

Before Yan Luoxi could even react, she saw Gu Yizhou’s large hand clamp down over her mouth...
