Chapter 1011 Cats Really Cry
"Even he wouldn't dare..." Mi Sijia said fiercely.

"How come you guys did such a quiet thing for such a big thing? I heard from Yinzi that it was you who persuaded him to go, right?" Ji Ling smiled and pulled Mi Sijia to sit down.

Zhima and Jiaziyin came over quietly, circled around the two people twice, and then began to nudge their legs with their heads.

"Oh, this is Jia Ziyin, right? I haven't been here for a long time. Wow, this little guy is getting more and more handsome. Look at his face, it's getting rounder and rounder, so chubby, so cute, wow..." Mi Sijia picked up Jia Ziyin and took a deep breath.

Jiaziyin looked as if he had lost all hope in life, and looked enviously at Zhima who was being gently hugged and stroked by Ji Ling: "Meow..." If I didn't want to give Ji Ling to my wife, I would never let anyone suck me like this.

Zhima was so comfortable being stroked that she dodged somersaults in Ji Ling's arms, exposing her belly.

"They all seem to have gained some weight, and the hair on their bellies is the best to stroke, it's so soft and comfortable." Ji Ling said with a smile, looking down at Zhima who had his eyes half-closed and a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Wow, it must trust you so much. Let me tell you, I have a cat at home too. We've had it for more than ten years, and I've never seen it show its belly. It will only come close to you because it respects you. If it doesn't take the initiative and you want to pet it, the look in its eyes is so horrible that it can kill you with a knife." Mi Sijia said with envy.

"I think your family should have a tabby cat, right?" Ji Ling said with a smile.

"Hmm? I don't quite understand. It's just a little black and a little gray. It should be a tabby cat." Although she had some understanding of dogs after following Song Yuan, Mi Sijia didn't know much about cats because she had never raised a cat.

"That's not difficult to understand. Tabby cats have the most individuality. Many people say that they are hard to tame because they are not so friendly, but in fact they are very powerful. They are good at surviving in the wild and have strong survival abilities. It's not that they are hard to tame. After raising them for a long time, they will be friendly. It's just that some of them are indeed a little cold in personality. But I guess they must be particularly friendly to someone in your family." Ji Ling said with a smile.

"Oh, yes, he was very close to my grandma. But since my grandma passed away years ago, he hasn't been very close to us. He's always indifferent and seems to keep his distance. My mom said he's been better this year than in previous years. In the past, he basically only came back for dinner and didn't stay at home the rest of the time. Now, you can often see him in a corner of the house."

"Also, it lost a lot of weight during the time when my grandma left. My mother said that she saw it crying at that time. However, no one in the family believed that it would cry. Do you think it would really cry?" asked Mi Sijia.

The two of them unknowingly turned the topic to cats.

"Yes, cats really do cry..." At this time, a girl who was passing by holding a kitten heard their discussion and came over.

Ji Ling and Mi Sijia looked up at the girl at the same time.

The girl was holding a rag doll that was about two months old, and the little guy stayed obediently in her arms.

"Is this your cat? It's so cute." Misjia reached out and touched the little doll's head.

The girl smiled sweetly and sat down naturally on the other side of the table where Ji Ling and the others were sitting. "Yes, I just bought this from here last week. It's so cute..."

"That's great. What should I do, Lingzi? I want to have a cat." Mi Sijia held Jiaziyin in one hand and combed its hair with the other hand.

Jia Ziyin originally wanted to jump down, but Mi Sijia felt it immediately and pulled it out with force, and the little guy sat down again resignedly.

"As for you, forget it. You may have to meet your mother-in-law in less than two months, and you will probably be busy during this period. Let's talk about it after you settle down." Ji Ling said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's not good if I can't be with you all the time. What if I go out and can't come back for a while, it would be considered abandonment." Misjia drooped her long eyelashes as she looked at Jiayin lying on her legs.

"By the way, what do you think about cats really crying?" She suddenly remembered this and asked the girl next to her.

The girl smiled immediately: "That happened many years ago. I had just started my internship. One day after I entered the company, a colleague of ours was resting downstairs in the company when he was entangled by a small calico cat. He brought it back to the company and raised it for about a month.

There were only three or four people in our office at that time. The little guy was very clingy and stuck to us three or four every day. We also liked it very much.

Later, our boss came back and saw the little guy with a look of disgust on his face. He said, "Will it be smelly if you poop in the house?"

The little guy actually understood, and from then on, he went to the boss's office door every day to poop. He was very well behaved and never pooped anywhere else. He always pooped in the litter box. We told him to do something, but he didn't listen. He went to the boss's office door every day..."

Hearing this, Mi Sijia and Ji Ling both laughed: "Why is this little guy so vindictive?"

"Yes, later the boss got mad and ordered that it had to be sent away. We had no choice but to find someone to adopt it. Later, I posted a message in our community group. A neighbor of mine said he wanted to adopt it, so I took it home first. It was very well behaved and happy along the way, and played in my house for about half an hour. When my neighbor got off work and I took it downstairs again, it resisted and started crying on the spot, with tears falling one after another. It made me very sad, but I was still an intern at that time, and I couldn’t even support it myself, so I couldn’t take care of it at all." The girl sighed.

"What happened next? Did you give it away or raise it yourself?" Misjia asked worriedly.

"I gave it away. I simply couldn't afford to keep it at that time. I knew that neighbor was a very caring person. She would often feed stray cats and had a cat at home. I thought it would be better for the little guy to stay with my neighbor than with me. Although it was sad at the time and I was sad too, I still let the neighbor take it home. I remember I secretly made a decision at that time that if it was still so sad when I went to see it tomorrow, I would take it back even if it meant suffering." said the girl.

Ji Ling and Mi Sijia looked at her expectantly, wanting to hear what was to come.

"Haha, guess what, when I went to see it the next day, the little guy was running around and having fun in its new home. Its ability to adapt is really amazing." The girl laughed when she thought about her mood at that time.

"Haha, are you still feeling disappointed? You thought you were going to rescue it from the dire straits, but you didn't expect that it had already forgotten you." Mi Sijia was amused and laughed.

"That's right, I was really lost for several days. I felt bad after sending it away, but I didn't expect that it was crying along with me the day before, and fell in love with its new owner the next day..." the girl said with a smile.

"Haha, that's indeed the case for cats. So, cats are not like dogs. Sometimes it is difficult to find them if they are lost. Will they treat you as the owner? They think they are the owner. With this mentality of taking the initiative, they can live well wherever they go." Ji Ling also laughed.

"Yeah, so, before I raised my jelly, I sealed the windows of the whole house, so that not even a mosquito can fly in." The girl smiled naively.

Ji Ling gave the girl a thumbs up and said, "This is indeed necessary. We usually tell our customers that they must seal the windows when they have cats. It's one thing for cats to run out, and safety is another. If you seal the windows, you don't have to worry about it."

"Hehe, I always regretted not adopting that kitten. But it's living well now. Although I no longer live in that community, I still visit it often..." the girl said with a smile.

The three girls had a very happy chat because they had common topics.

They didn't end their chat until Lu Jingxing and Song Yuan showed up.

The three of them added each other in bubbles and became good friends. When they saw Lu Jingxing and the others coming, the girl said goodbye to Ji Ling and the others.

Song Yuan looked at Mi Sijia in confusion: "Who is this? Why don't I seem to have seen him before?" "Of course you haven't seen him before. This is the first time we meet too." Mi Sijia said with a smile.

"But you don't look like the first time we met at all." Lu Jingxing also said with a smile.

The two of them also sat down.

Ba Mao appeared out of nowhere and rubbed against Lu Jingxing's feet, meowing.

Lu Jingxing took out a cat strip from his pocket and was about to open it when he saw Zhima lying on the table. He smiled and took out another one and handed it to Ji Ling.

Only then did he lower his head to feed the coquettish Ba Mao.

Jia Ziyin left early while the three girls were chatting.

"Give it to me, give it to me, let me feed it..." Mi Sijia grabbed the cat food from Ji Ling's hand, tore it open and started feeding it easily.

"Hey, honey, I really want to have a cat now." Misjia held the cat strip in one hand and stroked Zhima's back with the other hand from time to time.

"If you want to raise one, just raise one. There are so many cats here on Lu. Which one do you like? You tell me..." Song Yuan said with a smile.

"No, I have to be responsible for them and can't keep them now." Misjia said seriously.

Ji Ling blinked and gave her a thumbs up quietly: "That's right, maybe one day she will go to the United States with you, what about the cat?"

"Can't we take it to the United States?" Song Yuan asked doubtfully.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "It's not impossible, it's just too risky."

"Why?" Song Yuan asked.

"Oh, what's so unclear about this? Not to mention the formalities we have to go through when going abroad and how many examinations the little one has to undergo, just think about the ten or twenty hours on the plane. Can it bear it? Not even people can bear it, let alone a cat?" Mi Sijia finally understood the truth.

"Yes, what Sijia said is true. As far as I know, it seems that most flights do not allow pets to be brought directly into the cabin. They must be transported in the oxygen cargo hold as checked baggage. Moreover, each small animal must undergo a physical examination during transportation. Quarantine is generally divided into three steps. It needs to be handled at a designated local hospital, and the time limit for each step is very strict. Anyway, it is a very troublesome thing..." Lu Jingxing said.

"That's true. I haven't thought that far." Song Yuan murmured.

"You guy, I'm worried whether your father can give the company to you..." Mi Sijia said a little unhappily.

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling chuckled after hearing this, but Mi Sijia's words were indeed true. Song Yuan has always been a very straightforward person without any scheming. It is indeed worrying for them to take over such a big company.

However, Lu Jingxing had just had a deep talk with him. Although Lu Jingxing had no experience in managing a large company, after listening to Song Yuan's analysis today, he felt that he should be able to handle it. It would be better not to worry too much about such things.

"Then you should go over and be the boss lady earlier and come to help me earlier..." Song Yuan said with a smile.

"Tsk..." Misjia rolled her eyes at him.

Ji Ling and Lu Jingxing looked at each other and laughed too.

After feeding the cat, Song Yuan said, "Let's go out for dinner. I don't think I'll have time to come over these two days. I want to take Hei Hu and Jiang Jiang out for a run a few more times these two days. I don't know when the next time will be."

"They will understand you." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

The four of them stood up and walked out together, chatting and laughing.

Xi Wenxin has been concentrating on the operating room these days and has taken over most of the sterilization surgeries in the store. He said that he needed to practice more, at least to develop a feel for it.

This kind of thing would definitely be impossible for any other intern to accomplish, but Lu Jingxing asked Xiao Liu to accompany him to every operation, so that Xiao Liu was in control. It was just that Xi Wenxin was usually the one who did it. As a result, Xi Wenxin made rapid progress and he worked very hard. He lived on the second floor of the store at night and worked with his colleagues on the night shift. He almost never took a vacation.

After Song Yuan left, Lu Jingxing decided to take Xi Wenxin, Ji Ling and others to Gangcheng, and the opening of the new store was also put on the agenda.

The decoration of the new store stands out on that street. Even at the entrance, you can see the new store at the end of the street.

The store name is still [宠爱有家], but the lower right corner of the sign has the number three store.

Zhao Jingming came over the night they arrived in Gangcheng.

Looking at Zhao Jingming who was becoming more and more noble, Lu Jingxing was very happy, even though he hadn't seen him for several months.

At the dinner table, Lu Jingxing saw that he came alone, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where's your girlfriend? Why didn't you bring her here these few times? Did you break up again?"

"You are getting more and more venomous, but you are right. You are really exaggerating. Ji Ling, can you introduce me to someone in your school..."

Ji Ling smiled: "I wouldn't dare. You change girlfriends faster than I change clothes. I don't think anyone I know can handle you."

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Don't listen to your Lu's nonsense. I am a ten good young man." Zhao Jingming laughed.

After they chatted and laughed for a while, Xi Wenxin came in with Pan Erdong.

Xi Wenxin greeted Zhao Jingming with a smile, then sat down next to Lu Jingxing.

"Why is he alone? Where is your classmate?" Lu Jingxing asked.
