After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 175 A New Punishment Appears

"He actually said such a thing to Grandpa?" Fu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists at her sides, her brows furrowed with anger. "He made Grandpa faint and then just left!"

Jiang Yuan frowned, her face showing displeasure. "Your second uncle is a terrible person!"

"He's a beast!" Fu Xiaoxiao was furious.

Hearing their conversation, the man in the green hat blinked curiously. "Are you two criticizing the male who met with the old human? Is he a bad person?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded, glancing at the time on her watch. "It's getting late. See you next time."

The green-hatted creature instantly became agitated, its two sharp claws gripping the glass as it glared and said, "You're leaving already? Won't you chat a little longer?"

Having finally encountered a human who could talk to her, the woman in the green hat couldn't bear to let her go.

"It's getting late today." Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "I'll come find you again next time I have time."

The man in the green hat said regretfully, "Okay, see you next time then."

After leaving Grandpa Fu's house, Fu Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Yuan to drive, and she called Fu Rong from the passenger seat.

Perhaps because I felt guilty, the phone rang several times, but no one answered.

"You bastard, you don't dare answer the phone!" Fu Xiaoxiao cursed as she continued making the call.

She called a couple more times, and the voice prompt changed to "phone is off".

Fu Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "That trash!"

Jiang Yuan gripped the steering wheel and glanced at her sideways. "Even if he answers the phone, he won't admit that he was the one who made Grandpa faint and then ran away."

"Sigh." Fu Xiaoxiao put down her phone. "I never imagined there could be such shameless people in the world."

Jiang Yuan frowned: "It is disgusting, but there are plenty of disgusting people in this world."

"I'm so angry!" Fu Xiaoxiao rolled down the car window to let in some fresh air.

"Calm down," Jiang Yuan gently comforted her. "The most fortunate thing right now is that Grandpa is alright."

“Yes.” Fu Xiaoxiao nodded. “If anything happens to Grandpa, I definitely won’t forgive him.”

Back at the hospital entrance, Jiang Yuan returned the car keys to her, reached out and pinched her cheek, "Call me if you need any help, I'm going home now."

Fu Xiaoxiao gave her a playful hug and said, "Tell me when you get home."

**
The next day.

Jiang Yuan was awakened from her sleep by a notification sound from System 009.

[System 009: Congratulations on completing the hidden mission "Rescue the Victim"! You have received the following rewards: Spider Dictionary, 500 points, and 200 million cash.]

[System 009: Congratulations on completing the LV2 mission "Disrupt Your Cousin's Wedding"! Rewards: 50 points and 50 cash.]

Jiang Yuan opened her eyes groggily, suddenly feeling as if she had been woken up by a shower of money.

"009, you've finally shown up."

[System 009: Ms. Jiang, I apologize, I was urgently recalled a couple of days ago and didn't have time to say goodbye.]

Jiang Yuan asked in confusion, "Why recall them?"

[System 009: Sorry, I can't disclose that.]

Jiang Yuan: "Fine, I'm not interested anyway."

She turned over, gazing at the sliver of light streaming through the curtains. "I have a question. What's the difference between hidden quests and the quests you issue?"

[System 009: The hidden mission has no time limit and no penalty.]

Jiang Yuan: "..."

I don't know if she asked a meaningless question or if 009 said something nonsense.

Jiang Yuan threw off the covers and got out of bed. She reached out and pulled back the curtains, closed her eyes, and tilted her head slightly to feel the warmth of the sunlight.

"Mom, good morning." Jiang Yuan walked through the living room towards the bathroom.

"Yuan Yuan, get up," Deng Rui said while arranging flowers. "There's breakfast on the table."

Jiang Yuan: "Understood."

After breakfast, Jiang Yuan was thinking that since she had nothing to do today, she could go to the furniture market.

She sat down on the sofa, about to ask Deng Rui to go out together, when the system notification sounded again. [System 009: Triggered LV2 new mission: Listening, mission reward: 50 points, mission time limit: 5 hours, failure penalty: character manipulation.]

Character manipulation...

A new punishment has been introduced.

[System 009: If Miss Jiang is curious about how the character manipulation works, she can ignore this task and experience the punishment.]

Jiang Yuan chuckled: "I'm not that curious."

"What are you saying?" Deng Rui looked up at her.

"No, it's nothing." Jiang Yuan forced a smile, stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room to work for a while. By the way, where did you put the package that arrived a few days ago?"

Deng Rui took out the package and handed it to her, asking with a smile, "Are you going to start a live stream?"

"You guessed that?" Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

Deng Rui: "The package said 'phone stand' on it."

"Great job, Rui." Jiang Yuan gave her a thumbs up. "You've observed very carefully."

After unpacking the package, she took the phone stand into the room.

Deng Rui smiled and said, "I'll cut some fruit for you now."

“My Rui, you’re so thoughtful.” Jiang Yuan winked at her.

Deng Rui smiled broadly.

Jiang Yuan entered the room, adjusted the phone stand, and turned on the beauty light.

As soon as she started broadcasting, a large number of viewers flooded into her live stream room.

Wow, it's started airing!

I've finally waited for you, and I'm so glad I didn't give up~~~

We thought you'd forgotten about us!

[The streamer looks even better today!]

"Haha!" Jiang Yuan laughed, "It's probably because my new phone stand has a beauty light."

The anchor only speaks the truth.

[This streamer is so good-looking, she looks good even with or without beauty filters.]

How many people did we connect with today? I hope I'll be one of the lucky ones.

"I'm not sure how many people there are." Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly. "How about we see how things go?"

[Let's hurry and get started!]

Even me!

The video was randomly connected to a viewer named "Steady Summer".

The full screen belonging to Jiang Yuan was divided into two smaller screens, and a girl with long curly hair and a bright smile appeared in the screen next to Jiang Yuan.

"Hello Yuan Yuan, hello audience, I'm Xia Xia. I never expected to be the first lucky audience member." The composed Xia Xia greeted everyone generously.

"Hello Xiaxia," Jiang Yuan replied with a smile. "Do you have any pets?"

The composed Xia was walking outdoors. She nodded and said, "I have one, but it's not a pet cat; it's a domestic shorthair."

Jiang Yuan: "My family also has a black and white cat."

"What a coincidence!" The composed Xia looked pleasantly surprised. "I also have a black and white cat. I just came out to pick up a package and will be home soon."

On her way home, the composed Xia told everyone that she was preparing for her wedding, and the package she had just picked up was the wedding invitations she was going to send to her relatives and friends.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's fair face lit up with joy: "Congratulations! I wish you a long and happy life together, and may your love last forever."

Viewers also sent her their blessings via live chat.

"Thank you!" The composed Xia entered the elevator, her face beaming with joy. "With so many blessings, I think my marriage will definitely be very happy."

When she got home, the first thing she did was introduce her tuxedo cat, "This is my cat, named Xiao Zhou, because I found it over the weekend."
