Chapter 3090: Chapter 3026: Searching for the Cat at Home

Madam Gao was not home.

When they entered, the Gao Family house was silent, as if there wasn’t a single person inside.

The Gao Family had a very conventional layout, with simple wooden furniture in its natural color and not much decoration.

The first thing Jiang Xiao noticed was the empty wall in the living room.

With someone like Gao Wei’s personality growing up in this household, Jiang Xiao always felt that this home shouldn’t be so plain.

Gao Ming also noticed her looking at the wall. He placed his briefcase on the sofa and said to her, "Do you think this wall looks empty? Xiao Chiang’s paintings are worth a fortune. If I told you I’m saving money to buy one of your paintings to hang here, would you believe me?"

Jiang Xiao smiled slightly, "Alliance Officer Gao, if you want, I could give you a discount."

"Really? That sounds great, can I have a newly painted piece by Xiao Chiang? Just paint me a ’Thousand-Mile Scenery’, this wall is big enough, it should fit a larger painting."

’Thousand-Mile Scenery’?

Jiang Xiao coldly replied, "I can’t paint that. My vision is limited; I haven’t traveled across the vast lands. If Alliance Officer Gao doesn’t mind, you can wait until I’ve experienced the scenery myself and see if I can paint it."

"Haha, then I’ll wait for that."

Gao Ming spread his hands and said, "Go ahead, see if your cat is in our house."

The surroundings were silent.

There was no trace of the cat anywhere.

A hint of darkness flashed in Gao Ming’s eyes as he spoke, "What kind of cat does Xiao Chiang keep? Why don’t you tell me, and I’ll have someone go out and help you find it?"

This young lady is still too naive, entering his home without any evidence claiming she is looking for a cat. If he decided to change the narrative slightly later, she would have no rebuttal.

For example, Jiang Xiao acts recklessly, barging in to find a cat, not even a shadow of a cat, yet she turns their whole house upside down.

If such stories spread, Jiang Xiao won’t just lose face, it would especially affect Meng Xinian.

If he actually sent people to help find the cat, it would truly confirm Jiang Xiao’s arrogance right now, even making Gao Ming oblige to help find the cat; whose influence is she relying on?

Li Hanzhong’s?

Commander Cui’s?

Those who are close and protective of her would also not have a good reputation for a while.

It all depends on how he handles this.

Jiang Xiao was about to say no need when she suddenly heard a very faint cat sound coming from upstairs.

Her expression changed immediately.

Meanwhile, Gao Ming’s hearing was far inferior to hers, so he hadn’t heard it at all.

"Alliance Officer Gao, I wonder if I could go upstairs to take a look?" Jiang Xiao could recognize Snow Ball’s voice.

Judging by her understanding of Snow Ball during this time, Snow Ball wouldn’t go upstairs to the Gao Family’s house for food, as cats usually head to the kitchen; any food scent would surely come from the kitchen.

Moreover, looking at the outside, for a house like the Gao Family’s small building, it’s not likely to access the second floor from outside; unless Snow Ball first jumped into a window on the first floor and then climbed the stairs to the second floor, otherwise it’s unlikely.

But here’s the problem again, if it’s not going to the kitchen for food, what is it doing upstairs?

And why is its voice so weak?

Although anxious, Jiang Xiao still politely asked Gao Ming.

Gao Ming hadn’t heard the cat meowing at all, he just felt that maybe Jiang Xiao, because of her hostility towards the Gao Family, wanted an excuse to go upstairs to look for the cat and intended to use this to embarrass him, Gao Ming.
