Chapter 131 The Cat Returns 15
Zhou Mengqi's eyes darted away, and the people around her suddenly realized that Zhou Mengqi had only said that it was Yi Changfan's cat, which was why they had reluctantly let Zhou Mengqi take Momo away.
But if Momo is also Yi Zeyu's cat, then it's a completely different story.
But why would Zhou Mengqi do that? Could a cat possibly be in her way?
At this moment, Shen Chumo felt unwell, arched her back and vomited, and Yi Zeyu's heart clenched.
He watched Shen Chumo nervously, gently stroking her back to try and make her feel more comfortable.
"Mo Mo, what's wrong with you? Did you fall into the water and catch a cold?" Yi Zeyu frowned.
A girl nearby said timidly, "Could it be because of the barbecue we just ate? I remember cats can't eat these strong-flavored things." The girl's voice was very soft, with a hint of worry and unease.
Seeing Shen Chumo's distress, she felt guilty, after all, she hadn't stepped in to stop him.
Yi Zeyu stared at the plate on the table, now only half empty, and roared, "You actually fed a cat this kind of thing? Are you trying to kill her?!" Zeyu's eyes burned with fury, and his voice trembled slightly with rage.
Yi Zeyu turned around, picked up Shen Chumo, and strode away. He needed to take Shen Chumo to see a veterinarian as soon as possible so that she could receive timely treatment.
Zhou Mengqi hurriedly chased after him, grabbed Yi Zeyu's sleeve, and said ingratiatingly, "Zeyu, I'll go with you."
Yi Zeyu directly shook off Zhou Mengqi's hand and said, "No need."
Yi Zeyu carried Shen Chumo and continued walking forward, his steps firm yet hurried. He didn't look back at Zhou Mengqi even once, as if she didn't exist at all.
After Yi Zeyu shook off her hand, Zhou Mengqi stood there awkwardly, stunned.
The group of people looked at each other, feeling a tightness in their chest as Chen Shao recalled Shen Chumo's weak appearance. What had he done?
Even if Momo is Yi Changfan's cat, so what? She's just a cat. She must have been terrified when Zhou Mengqi chased her. How could he just stand there and watch?
The birthday party was ruined, and everyone started shirking responsibility, with everyone talking at once, making the scene chaotic and noisy.
"It's all Zhou Mengqi's fault. Everything was fine until she insisted on saying that this was Yi Changfan's cat. Otherwise, none of the following events would have happened."
"Exactly, exactly, Zhou Mengqi fed the barbecue too, didn't she? Don't you think she did it on purpose?"
"I think it's probably because she deliberately pushed Momo into the water, wanting to get revenge on Momo for embarrassing her earlier."
"Wow, what a vicious woman! Did you see how Yi Zeyu treated her? I have a feeling that Yi Zeyu doesn't like her at all."
"Heh, didn't you know? This Zhou Mengqi is the daughter of the Yi family's nanny. She almost got together with Yi Changfan before, but what happened? Yi Zeyu teased her, and she turned around and dumped Yi Changfan to be with Zeyu."
The others looked at Zhou Mengqi with unreadable expressions, sizing her up and down. Zhou Mengqi stood there, feeling as if she had been stripped naked and exposed to everyone's gaze.
Inside the hospital, the doctor examined Shen Chumo and diagnosed her with gastroenteritis, but it wasn't serious; an IV drip overnight would do the trick.
Yi Zeyu was relieved. He tapped Shen Chumo's nose and said, "You, let's see if you dare to be greedy in the future."
Shen Chumo lay listlessly on the hospital bed, too lazy to pay attention to Yi Zeyu. She had deliberately gotten sick this time, and she had suffered a lot in order to make Yi Changfan realize the truth about Zhou Mengqi.
Yi Zeyu's clothes were still half-wet. Although it was summer, the air conditioning in the room made him sneeze.
Seeing Yi Zeyu's disheveled appearance, Shen Chumo felt a rare sense of guilt. After all, it was Yi Zeyu's birthday today. Not only was the birthday party canceled, but if he was also sick, it would be truly pitiful.
Fortunately, the driver had noticed Yi Zeyu's wet clothes earlier. After stopping the car, he quickly bought a new set of clothes nearby and gave them to Yi Zeyu to change into.
Yi Zeyu went into the bathroom, changed out of his soaking wet clothes, and put on dry and comfortable new clothes before he finally felt a little better.
Feeling a bit dizzy, Yi Zeyu leaned back in his chair, feeling uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Yi Changfan appeared in the ward. He saw Shen Chumo looking listless with an IV drip in her mouth. Yi Changfan frowned and walked up to Shen Chumo, his expression extremely unpleasant.
Yi Zeyu said, "The doctor said it's just gastroenteritis, and an IV drip overnight will do the trick."
"Gastroenteritis?" Yi Changfan looked at Yi Zeyu with displeasure. "What did you feed Momo?"
Yi Zeyu was somewhat embarrassed by Yi Changfan's questioning. He remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Mo Mo ate some barbecue and fell into the water. She probably caught a chill and got gastroenteritis. I'm sorry." Yi Zeyu's voice was very low.
Upon hearing Yi Zeyu's words, Yi Changfan's expression darkened further. He glared at Yi Zeyu, and this was the first time such an expression had appeared on his usually gentle face.
Then, Yi Changfan let out a breath, turned his head, and said coldly, "Fine, it's my fault too. I shouldn't have left Momo, a cat, alone in the Yi family home. I'll move out this week."
Yi Zeyu suddenly raised his head and stared at Yi Changfan, his eyes flashing with a dark light. A cold smile appeared on his lips. After a long while, he sneered, "One week? Get out of the Yi family tomorrow!"
His gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing straight at Yi Changfan, sending chills down one's spine.
The atmosphere in the ward became very tense. Yi Changfan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely move before the day after tomorrow."
Seeing Yi Changfan's expression, Yi Zeyu became even angrier, raised his foot and slammed it on the table, "Go away! Let me tell you, I've been taking care of Momo all this time, you're not allowed to take Momo away."
Yi Zeyu's tone was forceful and domineering. He stared intently at Yi Changfan, his eyes filled with possessiveness.
“MoMo is my cat, and I have the right to take her away,” Yi Changfan said firmly, looking directly at Yi Zeyu.
"Go ahead and try to take it away," Yi Zeyu said disdainfully, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"You!" Yi Changfan was enraged by Yi Zeyu's attitude. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Shen Chumo lay there watching the two argue, utterly speechless. Wait, do these two have some kind of serious illness?
Shen Chumo sighed and stood up unsteadily.
Upon seeing this, Yi Changfan said anxiously, "Mo Mo, lie down quickly, you still have an IV drip in your paw."
Shen Chumo ignored him, but gave him a soft meow and rubbed against his hand. The soft touch calmed Yi Changfan down a lot.
Then Shen Chumo barked at Yi Zeyu twice more and reached out her paws to tug at his clothes.
