Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Zhou Linxu casually withdrew his hand: "It's nothing, I was just afraid you'd fall."

Jinxi put the cup aside and raised her head slightly: "I'm fine, I was just startled when you suddenly appeared behind me."

Zhou Linxu then seemed to realize something and took a slight step back: "I just wanted to tell you that Zhang Lin sold the bags for Zhou Chen."

The gossip I heard a little over an hour ago has now taken a new turn?

Jinxi's eyes brightened slightly, and she asked, "Does he still have a chance to struggle?"

"That's all." Zhou Linxu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Jin Xi's bright eyes.

When he received Jinxi's message that afternoon, he guessed that she wanted to hear it, so he asked Goldman Sachs to check it out.

I just got back and shared it with her.

Jinxi asked in confusion, "If she doesn't have any left, why is she selling bags? I think she's probably emptying her savings."

"It's not just her personal wealth; she also sold a lot of Zhou Jiansheng's things," Zhou Linxu said slowly. "She somehow found a lawyer who, after reviewing the evidence, said he was 100% certain of winning the case, securing Zhou Chen's acquittal, and even making me pay a large sum of money."

Jinxi exclaimed, "Is this a scam? What lawyer dares to claim they can win 100% of the time?"

"It's a scam, but Zhang Lin believed it. They're asking for a high price, five million," Zhou Linxu said. "In previous years, we might have been able to scrape together the money, but now Zhou Jiansheng is living a very comfortable life at his family home and doesn't care about Zhang Lin's well-being at all. Zhang Lin has relied on him for so many years and is used to spending money extravagantly, so we can only scrape together what we have."

If she plans this five million carefully, maybe after Zhou Chen is released from prison, she and her son won't starve. But if she gives this five million away, she won't even hear a sound.

Some friends tried to persuade Zhang Lin, but Zhang Lin has nothing left now. Zhou Jiansheng cheated on her, her son is in jail, and she has lost her mind.

Jinxi thoroughly enjoyed this gossip, and she said, "He got what he deserved."

Zhou Linxu looked into her eyes: "Don't you think I'm being too cold-hearted?"

"Why would you say that?" Jin Xi said, "You're just defending your rights. If they didn't bully you, would there be so much trouble?"

Jinxi patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, if you like playing the saint, why not donate some money to help children in mountainous areas go to school?"

Zhou Linxu chuckled: "Alright, the Zhou family has a charity team, let them donate five million tomorrow."

Jin Xi coughed lightly and gave two thumbs up: "A philanthropist deserves two thumbs up."

Zhou Linxu's smile deepened.

"Woof woof!"

Jinxi and Zhou Linxu looked down and saw Dali barking at them.

Jinxi asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Dali?"

The two puppies don't bark much; at most, they wag their tails and whine affectionately.

The two exchanged a glance and exclaimed in unison, "Awesome!"

They didn't care about gossip anymore and quickly followed Dali to the backyard. They found Zhou Zanzan lying on the ground with his butt sticking out by the vegetable garden, looking at something.

Jinxi asked, "Baby, what are you doing?"

Zhou Yanqian turned his head and said, "Mommy, there are kittens! I can't catch them."

He was playing ball with Daju and Dali when he heard a very soft meow.

At first I thought I was hallucinating, but when I came over to take a look, it really was a kitten!

This cat is an orange tabby, and it looks just like Old Zhou's cat! Because orange tabbies are also yellow!

However, it was stuck in this small hole, and Zhou Yanqian couldn't find it no matter how hard he tried.

So he sent Dali to call for help.

Zhou Linxu sighed and said, "Can't you go outside and catch it?"

His son is so silly! The old father can hardly bear to look at him.

Zhou Yanqian blinked. "Oh right! He can go outside and catch it!"

Although the hole was tricky, he could reach it from the outside with his hand!

Seeing his son about to get up and run out with his dog, Zhou Linxu quickly stopped him again: "Alright, don't go outside sticking your butt out there."

He originally wanted to talk to Jinxi to see if he could fish her out, but when he turned around, he found that Jinxi was gone.

Zhou Yanqian looked over in confusion. "Yeah, where's Mommy?"

Jinxi came out of the house at this moment, holding a can of meat in her hand, which was specially made for Daju and Dali.

She said, "If we don't have cat treats, we'll use canned food to lure them in for now."

Zhou Yanqian nodded emphatically twice: "Yes! Let's use canned food then! Mommy, you're so smart, how come I didn't think of that?"

"That's because you were so focused on saving the kitten that you didn't think about anything else." Jinxi patted his head. "You have a kind and beautiful heart."

Despite having been praised many times, Zhou Yanqian still felt a little embarrassed every time he heard it.

Wow, I never expected that Xiaoxi would think he's so good!

Using canned meat really worked. The kitten must have been starving; it climbed out on its own after only a few seconds. It was such a tiny kitten.

Zhou Yanqian squatted down next to the kitten and said, "It's even smaller than Daju and Dali when they were kittens."

The oranges and lychees seem to be a size bigger.

Two adults, one kitten, and two dogs quietly surrounded the kitten, watching it eat its canned food.

Judging from how she's eating, she must be starving.

But Jinxi didn't dare give it much food, and after watching it eat a third of it, she took the canned meat away.

Daju and Dali immediately came over, but Jinxi held up the can of food: "You can't eat it. The kitten hasn't been checked yet, we don't know if it has any viruses. You two shouldn't be tempted."

While the kitten was eating, Daju and Dali were already drooling.

Tsk tsk, I'm just as hungry as Zan Zan!
