Chapter 860: The More He Thought about It, the Angrier He Got. As He Took a Step Back, the More Disadvantageous He Felt
“Let’s put it here first. We’ll take good care of it,” the vet sighed. The world was big, and there were all kinds of demons, ghosts, and lunatics. There were many people who abused animals.
Especially those with twisted minds who enjoyed abusing stray animals.They deserved to die.
Before the New Year, they had even saved a cat which had the inside of its body stabbed with twelve needles. However, it was too late. A needle had pierced its heart. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as it left the world in pain.
As a human, he also felt ashamed for those monsters. Some people were really devils who deserved to die.
“Sorry to trouble you then. I’ll try my best to visit it every day.” Ling Sheng did not know if she had the time either. Besides, her father was allergic to fur, so it was definitely impossible for them to adopt it.
“It’s no trouble. Thankfully, you came across the dog. You don’t know this, but the owners of some pet cats and dogs are too irresponsible. They abandon their pets when they get sick. Every year, our hospital receives a lot of such cats and dogs. They are so sick that they are on the verge of death. They leave them at our door and don’t care anymore.” The vet felt helpless and indignant for those small lives. “It’s really difficult to meet a responsible owner.”
“Sheng Sheng and the others even raised a donkey when they partic.i.p.ated in the show.” The nurse was already calling her name in a familiar manner. “They raised it at Ji Fanchen’s house! When I watched the variety show, you ate everything. I thought you were cruel!”
The vet smiled as well. “Yes, when your variety show was broadcast, even the Animal Protection a.s.sociation wanted to boycott you! They said you ate frogs which are considered protected animals.”
His girlfriend was the same. She complained as she watched. Frogs were so adorable, how could she eat them? Gra.s.shoppers were so adorable, how could she eat them?
Back then, she even told him that Ling Sheng was too cruel and definitely did not have any compa.s.sion. Now, they had been in the face.
“Didn’t the production team release it in large subt.i.tles? They even clarified that the frogs, in the area where we film the show, are not protected animals and can be eaten.” Ling Sheng knew that some people were selectively blind and only wanted to see what they wanted to see.
At that time, she had received a lot of private messages. They had said that she ate the country’s protected animals, scolded her, criticized her, and even wanted to boycott her.
The area they were in clearly had a lot of frogs, so they did not belong to a conservation district. The protection of animals was also cla.s.sified by region! They might be endangered in one region, but in another place, it might be overrun by the species and require human intervention to reduce the number of frogs!
“Perhaps they think your method of handling it is more violent, b.l.o.o.d.y, and cruel!” The vet answered her question seriously.
At the time, he had also wondered how a delicate and adorable girl could be so brutal. Why was she not afraid? She was not hesitant at all when she killed chickens and fish. She dared to do anything. She was too bold.
All the way till Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi got into the car and left, the doctor and the sister nurse stood at the door and watched them leave.
Ling Sheng drove. This time, she and Xiaoqi sat in the front, while her father sat in the back. Before getting in the car, she had also borrowed the wondrous tool for picking up pet fur from the pet clinic and cleaned the dog fur of his body completely.
A skin allergy was an allergic reaction to the fur on a pet’s body. It might cause a serious allergic reaction if it was inhaled or touched. It might even cause an allergic reaction when one smelled it.
“Where’s Third Master Jun?” Huo Ci looked at the brat driving the car and pretended to ask casually.
“We’ve broken up.” Ling Sheng was very calm. Through the rearview mirror, she looked at her father, who had basically returned to normal. There was no need to go to the hospital anymore. His allergic symptoms had already calmed down.
“Scram,” Huo Ci growled and pointed at her with a cold smile. “You broke up? Who are you lying to? Get him to get his b.u.t.t over here. Call him immediately.”
She had been spoiled!
She was even playing mind games with him now!
Ling Sheng was very stubborn. “I won’t make the call. If you want to call him, go ahead. You tell him. Anyway, I won’t tell him.”
The Third Master probably had not expected that her father would call him personally one day and invite him to the Huo residence. Grandpa must have looked for her father yesterday because of this too.
“Are you going to call or not?” Huo Ci pointed at her ferociously and threatened her.
Ling Sheng shook her head firmly. “No, I won’t do it even if you beat me to death.”
Huo Ci’s handsome face was ashen as he pointed at her a few times. “You’re not calling? You’re not calling. You… If you have the guts, don’t call him for the rest of your life!”
Ling Sheng’s nerves all tensed up. With her bit of courage, she could not last much longer. She would call if he threatened her again.
However, her father stopped forcing her anymore. While she heaved a sigh of relief, she was also a little disappointed.
Should she not have persevered? If her father had asked her to make the call, so be it! What a good opportunity!
When Huo Ci got home, as he held himself back, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. As he took a step back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was at a disadvantage. In the end, in a fit of anger, he did not care about anything else. He threw his pride aside and dialed Jun Shiyan.
Jun Shiyan had expected to receive a call from Huo Ci, but he had not expected it to be so early. He was still overseas. “Mr. Huo, I’m in the capital. I’ll be there immediately. Don’t worry.”
An Yan was standing right beside him as he saw the joyful smile on the Third Master’s lips. He thought that it must be Ms. Ling’s call again. Otherwise, no one could make the Third Master smile so happily.
Jun Shiyan hung up and looked at him while instructing, “Get someone to prepare a gift. I’m going to the Huo residence for dinner tonight.”
An Yan’s eyes widened suddenly. “Third Master, I’m not being nosy but I’m afraid it’s not good for you to go at this point in time!”
Given the temper of the Sixth Master and the Old Master of the Huo Family, the Third Master would probably be criticized a lot. He knew that the Third Master was eager to see Ms. Ling, but he should not risk his life!
Jun Shiyan curled his lips into a smile. “Huo Ci called and asked me to go to the Huo Family.”
How could he not know about those wealthy families? Sheng Sheng would definitely be ostracized and bullied when she returned to the Huo Family. It was only a matter of time before Huo Ci and the Old Master let him go over.
However, his heart still ached for the young lady at home. He did not know how she had spent the past few days at the Huo Family or how much gossip and discrimination she had to endure.
An Yan was stunned for a moment before he congratulated him happily. “Congratulations, Third Master.”
That was great!
The Third Master had succeeded!
Ling Sheng was not stupid. She naturally knew why her father and grandpa had called the Third Master over. In the end, it was because of her and Xiaoqi.
Rumors and slanders were unavoidable in wealthy families, especially for her. She had gotten pregnant before marriage, had a child—with an unknown father too. Who knew how others would gossip about her behind her back?
Her grandpa was impressive, and so was her father. However, if those gossipmongers did not say it openly, how could you shut him up secretly?
Besides, they were not gossiping behind her back anymore. They were already provoking her openly. Wouldn’t you be angry?!
