Chapter 135 The Cat Returns 19
Seeing Zhou Mengqi like this, Yi Changfan, unusually, did not go forward to comfort her. Instead, he said, "Mengqi, Momo doesn't like you. You should stay away from Momo in the future. I'm afraid she might hurt you."
Zhou Mengqi stiffened and looked at Yi Zeyu. Yi Zeyu was behind Yi Changfan, looking at Zhou Mengqi expressionlessly, his eyes revealing a warning.
Zhou Mengqi's heart sank to the bottom. She knew Yi Zeyu's personality; if she continued to pester him, he probably wouldn't show her any mercy.
Zhou Mengqi's lips trembled slightly, and she finally bit her lip and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go back to my room now."
Zhou Mengqi looked hurt, forced a smile, and turned to leave, appearing quite pitiful.
Once outside, her expression changed drastically. The previous look of weakness and helplessness vanished instantly, replaced by indifference and anger.
She clenched her teeth tightly, her heart filled with resentment and bitterness.
Why? Why has everything changed? Even Yi Changfan isn't on her side anymore. Zhou Mengqi's eyes flashed with resentment. This cat absolutely cannot be kept!
...
Ever since Yi Zeyu learned that Shen Chumo could understand human speech, he has become even more attentive to her, practically treating her like an ancestor.
To this end, a chef was hired to cook special cat food for Shen Chumo, with abalone, seafood, and all sorts of precious ingredients being served on Shen Chumo's table.
They deliberately set aside the largest room and decorated it into a cat world, filled with Shen Chumo's toys and cat trees.
Yi Zeyu's WeChat Moments have been flooded with photos of Shen Chumo, and now everyone knows how much Yi Zeyu values this cat.
Shen Chumo naturally accepted all these offers, and watched as Yi Zeyu gradually took over Shen Chumo's life, with Shen Chumo even sleeping in Yi Zeyu's room at night sometimes.
Yi Changfan gritted his teeth and found Yi Zeyu, "Yi Zeyu, you're so despicable! Momo is my cat!"
Yi Zeyu sat comfortably on the sofa, crossed his legs, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
He shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do. Who told you to spend all your time at work? The meager earnings aren't even enough to cover Momo's meals."
Yi Changfan was speechless after being choked by Yi Zeyu's words. He admitted that Yi Zeyu was right. He really couldn't give Momo a good life. Besides material things, he couldn't even squeeze out time to play with Momo.
Therefore, Yi Changfan had been hesitant to move out of the Yi family home. If he moved out, wouldn't Momo be left all alone in the house waiting for him to come back?
The thought of Mo Mo, who loved to play, being imprisoned in a small, empty room made Yi Changfan feel suffocated.
He couldn't imagine Mo Mo waiting for him alone in that desolate room; it would break his heart.
Yi Changfan sat on the sofa, looking dejected.
Seeing this, Yi Zeyu curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Look, isn't it great now? Momo likes me, and I can give Momo the best of everything. But you are also the master in Momo's heart. You can play with Momo every day when you come back. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Yi Changfan looked at Yi Zeyu, frowned, and asked in confusion, "Yi Zeyu, you seem to really not want me to move out, but didn't you used to hate me and tell me to get out of the Yi family all the time?"
Yi Changfan felt somewhat unfamiliar with Yi Zeyu during this period, and sometimes he even wondered if Yi Zeyu had been possessed.
Yi Zeyu remained silent for a long while, the leaves outside rustling in the wind, before finally saying, "Human hearts are inherently complex. I used to hate your identity. You made me an orphan. When I was little, I even thought about secretly taking you to a desolate place and abandoning you."
That way, our family can go back to how it was before.
Yi Changfan's heart skipped a beat, and he clenched his fists tightly. Looking at Yi Zeyu, his eyes were filled with deep remorse. "Yi Zeyu, I'm sorry, I..."
This is what he owes Yi Zeyu, and he can never repay it.
Yi Zeyu interrupted him, saying, "If I disliked you when I was a child because of your identity, now that I'm grown up, I dislike you because of who you are."
I hate having you in my house, so I played a lot of pranks hoping to kick you out of the Yi family, but you seem to have no temper at all. Every time you're bullied, you always act like it doesn't matter and even smile at me.
Then everyone said I was a bad kid, a brat, while you were a good boy, lovable and adorable. Compared to you, I seemed like a grumpy, mentally unstable person.
On the surface, they have no choice but to obey me and join in cursing you because I am the young master.
But behind your back, they will all secretly take care of you.
Yi Changfan stared at Yi Zeyu, speechless. Indeed, the servants in the Yi family were very kind to him, secretly giving him food and comforting him.
Yi Zeyu looked at Yi Changfan's guilty expression with amusement, "Do you think I should hate you?"
Yi Changfan looked regretful. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.
He could understand Yi Zeyu's feelings. Although he had never done anything, his existence was a kind of harm to Yi Zeyu.
"Zeyu, I...I'm sorry." Yi Changfan's voice was low and full of apology.
Yi Zeyu crossed his arms and slightly raised his chin. "Now you know you were wrong? Too late."
Although he said that, Yi Zeyu's eyes no longer held the hostility he had shown before.
Yi Changfan looked increasingly guilty. Yi Zeyu looked at Yi Changfan's expression and chuckled, "Yi Changfan, you're still the same. As long as someone plays the victim in front of you, your saintly heart kicks in."
Yi Changfan shook his head and looked at Yi Zeyu seriously, saying, "It's different, Yi Zeyu, you are different."
Yi Changfan suddenly understood some of Yi Zeyu's previous behavior. He was a person who liked to use hard thorns to disguise himself, and he was afraid that others would discover his vulnerability.
Yi Changfan said seriously, "Yi Zeyu, I will not move out of the Yi family. I will make it up to you for everything that happened."
Yi Zeyu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting."
After Yi Changfan left, Yi Zeyu's jovial expression vanished, and he muttered, "Still a fool."
Shen Chumo hid under the coffee table, a tiny ball of fluff. She listened intently to everything, and when she heard Yi Zeyu's evaluation of Yi Changfan, Shen Chumo nodded. Yi Changfan was indeed kind to the point of being a little silly.
It's not hard to see that Yi Zeyu stopped disliking Yi Changfan a long time ago. Although Yi Zeyu is as sharp-tongued as ever, if he truly hated Yi Changfan...
Once they reach adulthood, Yi Zeyu can kick Yi Changfan out of the house and use even more ruthless methods to ruin Yi Changfan's life.
But Yi Zeyu didn't do that. Yi Changfan went to a prestigious university, won awards, and got a job at a big company after graduation. He was even about to get promoted because of a project Yi Zeyu gave him recently. He was considered a promising young man.
