Chapter 189 Your fish might be suffering from depression.
After Sun Ziang collapsed, the patrolmen at Ping'an Lake immediately called an ambulance.

"What should we do with the snakes? Should we call the fire department?" Just as another patrolman finished speaking, he saw several snakes swim away in a very organized and disciplined manner.

They did not do anything to harm others.

The two patrolmen exchanged a shocked glance.

They suddenly had a strange feeling that these snakes seemed to be specifically targeting the man in leather pants.
Several snakes slithered back to Jiang Yuan's side, seeking praise.

After coaxing them, Jiang Yuan went to have dinner with Fu Xiaoxiao.

It was already past nine o'clock when they got home. Jiang Die had just led Zhan Zhan and Mo Mo into their room to rest.

Jiang Dashan was taking a shower, while Deng Rui was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Jiang Yuan sat down on the sofa, her clear eyes looking at her, and said with a smile, "Mom, let's go to the furniture store tomorrow and arrange all the furniture for the new house. Then we can choose a good day to move in."

“Great!” Deng Rui happily agreed. “It’s the weekend, so the whole family can go out.”

Meanwhile, Pei Lu, who had already installed surveillance cameras at home, sent a WeChat message to her sister-in-law, Fang Mengyuan.

Pei Lu: [Sister-in-law, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to have the housekeeper come and clean.]

Five minutes later, Fang Mengyuan replied on WeChat: [Lulu, I'm free. What time tomorrow?]

Pei Lu: [Tomorrow at 2 PM.]

Fang Mengyuan: [Okay, I understand.]

Pei Lu: [Thank you, sister-in-law/roses]

After sending the message, Pei Lu tossed her phone aside, hugged her knees, and felt conflicted.

I'll get the surveillance footage tomorrow. Should I let my brother know about all of this?
The following afternoon, Pei Lu was having coffee at a coffee shop near her home, while her phone was playing surveillance footage from her walk-in closet.

At 1:50, Fang Mengyuan appeared in the surveillance footage, carrying a canvas bag that Pei Lu recognized.

Fang Mengyuan locked the door and took out the Chanel briefcase from inside.

Pei Lu pursed her lips and saw Fang Mengyuan take down the genuine briefcase from the wall shelf and put the briefcase she had brought on top.

She put the genuine briefcase back into the canvas bag, and the whole process took no more than three minutes.

Fang Mengyuan acted as if nothing had happened, carrying her canvas bag as she left the room.

Pei Lu saved the footage, her expression grave, her brows furrowed in distress.

She subconsciously sent a message to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan wasn't looking at her phone; she and her family were browsing furniture.

With the money to spare, the shopping went exceptionally smoothly, and I was able to buy almost everything I liked.

Deng Rui glanced at the time on her watch and suggested, "We've bought almost everything, and it's getting late, let's go."

As the group prepared to leave, they noticed that Zhanzhan and Momo were attracted by the ornamental fish in a fish tank at a shop.

Jiang Yuan walked up behind the two of them and said with a smile, "Are you looking at the fish?"

"Auntie, this fish is so special!" Momo's sweet little voice was full of excitement. "It looks just like the polka dot pants you bought me!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan agreed, saying, "That's true. No wonder this fish looked familiar to me; it resembles your polka-dot pants."

Hearing this, the middle-aged female shop owner standing nearby was both amused and exasperated, saying, "You guys are really joking. I spent a lot of money on this polka-dot stingray. It doesn't look like polka-dot pants at all!"

"How much are these polka dot pants?" Jiang Dashan asked, then, meeting the slightly displeased look of the middle-aged female shop owner, quickly added, "Sorry, I spoke too quickly. Are these polka dot stingrays expensive?"

"I'd be terrified if I told you," the middle-aged female shop owner said proudly. "I bought it for 700,000 yuan back then."

Jiang Dashan was a little surprised, but not to the point of being scared to death. "You must make a lot of money in the furniture business to spend so much money on a pair of polka dot pants." "You..." The middle-aged female shop owner looked annoyed. "What do you know? This was taught by a feng shui master. It can bring us wealth."

Jiang Yuan looked at her and said calmly, "You fish have suicidal thoughts."

The plaintive sounds of freshwater stingrays could be heard coming from the fish tank.

"How boring, how pointless, I might as well be dead!"

"I don't want to live anymore, life is so boring!"

"..."

"Huh?" The middle-aged female shop owner was surprised for a moment, then looked amused. "Young lady, what are you talking about? How could a fish commit suicide?"

"Didn't you notice it's on a hunger strike?" Jiang Yuan raised her chin slightly. "It's barely eating the food you've been feeding it."

The middle-aged female shop owner frowned upon hearing these words.

She carefully recalled the freshwater stingray's diet over the past few days and retorted, "Could it be that the food isn't to its liking? The young lady at the shop said it ate quite well yesterday!"

"Really?" Jiang Yuan said in a calm and gentle tone, "Since you spent 700,000 yuan to buy this fish, you should have paid more attention to it. This fish may be suffering from depression."

"What?" The middle-aged female shop owner exclaimed in surprise, "You're saying fish have depression? How is that possible!"

Many people heard the noise and gathered around out of curiosity.

"Fish can get depression?"

"What's going on here? What's all the noise about?"

“That’s right.” Jiang Yuan met the middle-aged female shop owner’s gaze and nodded calmly. “I suggest you take this issue seriously.”

Momo tilted her little head and asked worriedly, "Auntie, do you mean this fish is sick?"

“Yes.” Jiang Yuan patted the little guy’s head. “The polka-dot stingray is sick.”

"What should we do then?" Momo frowned anxiously.

The middle-aged female shop owner didn't believe Jiang Yuan's words at all, thinking she was just trying to fool a child. "Alright, you can fool the child, but I don't believe you."

"You have to believe it." Zhanzhan's childish voice suddenly rang out, earnestly, "Auntie, you have to believe what my auntie said. It's true, it's not a lie to a child."

"Stop talking." The middle-aged female shop owner looked displeased. If it weren't for the family's good looks, she would have kicked them out just for saying these words.

Jiang Yuan remained calm and said in a light tone, "I've said everything I needed to say. Believe it or not is up to you."

After saying that, she reached out and took Zhanzhan's and Momo's hands respectively.

After they left, the middle-aged female shop owner took a rag and wiped the handprints off the fish tank, feeling very unlucky.

For no reason at all, they said her fish had depression.

Really annoying.

Just then, someone from the neighboring shop suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now, that girl was Jiang Yuan!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged female shop owner asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"

"An animal streamer!" The person from the shop next door exclaimed in surprise. "Didn't you see her? She can understand animal language. She probably heard your fish trying to commit suicide and that's why she warned you. You're so lucky!"

"Are you kidding me?" The middle-aged female shop owner curled her lip, not believing it at all. "How could anyone understand animal language? It's probably a scam. You're usually such a shrewd person, how could you be fooled by this stuff online?"

"You..." The person from the shop next door was speechless. "Believe it or not, it's not like I bought the fish for 700,000."
