Pet King - Chapter 999

Chapter 999: 999




Petite bourgeoisie, also known as petty bourgeoisie, pointed to a western lifestyle––a pursuit of inner experience, materialism, and spiritual enjoyment . The phrase "Petite Bourgeoisie" was very old, and it had been popular in China since the first half of the last century . But in recent years, the term hadn't been used much .

Vladimir seemed to have a bad first impression of Zhao Qi, as it bluntly ridiculed her exquisite lifestyle . It just couldn't understand her style, where she would constantly mention unpopular restaurants, concerts, and romance films .

But it was no surprise . After all, Vladimir had almost no pursuit of material enjoyment . It had repeatedly refused Zhang Zian's proposal to make a small bed for it, and when it was sleepy, it could just sleep anywhere . Its lifestyle was the complete opposite of Zhao Qi's lifestyle .

Moreover, Zhang Zian was aware that Zhao Qi's petite bourgeoisie lifestyle was based on her credit card, which was in overdraft . It may have looked like she was living well, but when her credit card bill arrived, she was going to cry .

Zhao Qi still found it weird, because she had the impression that she was the type cats were attracted to . For ordinary cats that saw her, even if they didn't come over and rub themselves on her leg, at the very least, they didn't show such open disgust . It made her feel very hurt . She didn't know how she had offended it .

There could have been another possibility, which was that Zhang Zian had deliberately trained it to act in such a way just so she would embarrass herself… As long as he was willing to go through the effort of training it, he could definitely have pulled it off .

Zhang Zian noticed that something was wrong based on the look in her eyes . "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Why the hell are you here? And you've brought a cat along," she said coldly .

"I'm here to visit Liu Wenying . Is she home?"



Zian didn't know how he had offended her . Why was she so mad?

"I'm not too sure about that . She should be… Did you not call before coming down?" she asked snappily .

Zhang Zian didn't necessarily have to see Liu Wenying, but he just happened to have time .

"It doesn't matter . I'll go up and take a look . If she's not home, then I'll just come back down again," he said casually . Then he asked Vladimir again, "Do you want to go up with me? We'll be taking the elevator, so there's no need to climb the stairs . "

Vladimir looked at Zian, then looked at Zhao Qi . It shook its head . "I'll stay down here and take a look around . "

Zhang Zian knew that Vladimir didn't want to be in the same elevator as Zhao Qi, so he didn't force it to come along . He let it play around the community .

Zhao Qi said, "…Are you talking to the cat?"

"Haven't you spoken to Lan Lan?" Zhang Zian asked her back .

"I have, but…" Zhao Qi had talked to Lan Lan often, but… something just felt weird .




Zhang Zian took a gift out of the car . After all, it wasn't good to visit empty-handed . He then walked into the elevator and pressed the button for Liu Wenying's floor . "Are you coming? If you're not then I'll head up first . "

Zhao Qi came back to her senses and quickly ran into the elevator . She pressed the button for her own floor .

The elevator door closed and began to go up .

"Right, you're really leaving the cat outside?" Zhao Qi asked in surprise .

"Don't worry . It won't run away . " Zhang Zian wasn't bothered at all .

"No, I wasn't talking about that…" Zhao Qi knew that he had misunderstood, so she reminded him, "Since Furry––Sister Wenying's cat––the people in the community have been chasing stray cats away with clubs . They say that they're doing that to prevent the stray cats from spreading rabies . I don't even dare to take Lan Lan out for a walk anymore… So, you leave your cat behind, and it also doesn't have a collar to prove that it's a domestic cat . Wouldn't there be… danger?"

After Zhao Qi brought it up, Zhang Zian remembered that he had also encountered a big and tall young man who was looking for stray cats around the community in an aggressive manner . He claimed that he would kill one if he saw one . Not only that, but the old ladies in the community with too much time on their hands were also spreading around that stray cats were dangerous . They said that the stray cats would bite the elderly, bite children, and bite pregnant women . What would they do when they contracted rabies?

At that time, Zian didn't agree with their "rather kill a thousand innocents than let one off" method, but a weak arm couldn't win against a strong thigh . He had to have a death wish if he planned to go against them alone .

He started to feel unsure . Would Vladimir be okay downstairs alone?

But he soon changed his mind and thought that he was worrying too much . Vladimir's vigilance was very high, and it was also always prepared for a battle… Not to mention that it had the courage to go to battle, and was good at fighting . It couldn't be compared to ordinary stray cats .

"Thanks for reminding me, but I think that it'll be okay," said Zian .

Instead of worrying about Vladimir, it was better to worry about the humans . He hoped that Vladimir wouldn't go too far with its Meow-Meow Doctrine iron fist… That was a punch that could even crash the game!

"It's up to you . " Zhao Qi shrugged her shoulders .

The elevator stopped at Liu Wenying's floor, and Zhang Zian left the elevator . He was finally free from the perfume .

He confirmed the house number, then pressed the doorbell, and cleared his throat .

"Who is it?" a muted response came from behind the door . It sounded like Liu Wenying was home .

"It's me, Zhang Zian, from the Amazing Fate Pet Shop," Zian said loudly .

"Coming––coming!" With a click, the door opened . "Oh, it's Xiao Zhang . How did you find the time to come over? Quick, come on in . " Liu Wenying was surprised, but she still passionately invited him into the house .

They hadn't met for a while, and Liu Wenying's face was a lot more languished . It was obvious that she had been deeply hurt by the loss of her beloved cat .

Yue Yue stuck her tiny head out from behind the door . She looked tense and in a blur .

"Sister Wenying, sorry for dropping by without any notice . I was visiting a customer nearby, so I took the chance to come over here . " Zhang Zian laughed . He then waved at Yue Yue and said, "Yue Yue, do remember the handsome Brother Store Manager?"

Yue Yue did seem to remember him . She stared at his face for a while before she murmured, "The cat seller…"

"Yes, I sell cats . This is really a world that looks at appearances!" Zhang Zian was pleased, then he brought out the gift that he had hidden behind him . "Yue Yue, this doll is for you . Do you like it?"

The gift he had prepared was a limited edition Berlin bear doll that he had brought back from the Berlin Film Festival . It was no longer in production . Zhao Qi had tried to ask him for it several times in the elevator, with both threats and promises, but he had turned all of them down .

Seeing the cute Berlin bear doll that was wearing a red scarf, Yue Yue's eyes lit up . She ran up to hug it, and didn't want to let it go .

"Hey, you're just here to visit . You didn't have to bring a gift…" Liu Wenying noticed that the Berlin bear's bag was full of German words, and she recalled that Zhang Zian had gone to Germany to receive the prize . She figured that it was a souvenir that he had brought back with him, which meant that it was definitely not cheap .

"Yue Yue, quick, thank uncle," Liu Wenying said as she rubbed Yue Yue's tiny head .

"Thank you, uncle," Yue Yue said childishly . She immediately hugged the Berlin bear and scurried back to her room to play .

Liu Wenying looked at her daughter's back and sighed . "I haven't seen her so happy in a long time…"
