Chapter 160

Extra: Black-footed Cat

Before Father Yan could speak, Mother Yan rolled her eyes at her husband.

“You’re just tired. You’ve been busy with work these past few days; I see you haven’t rested properly.”

After saying this, Mother Yan grabbed Brother Cat’s hand. “Little darling, don’t mind him. Let’s continue chatting. Where was I just now?”

“You were talking about the Li family’s daughter running away with someone!”

“Yes, yes, yes. I was telling you, the Li family’s daughter ran away with a poor guy…”

Mother Yan enthusiastically shared high-society gossip with Brother Cat.

In the wealthy circles, gossip was never in short supply.

Stories like rich daughters eloping with poor boys, group CEOs secretly adopting illegitimate children and pretending they were adopted, all sorts of bizarre rumors — Brother Cat listened in amazement.

The excitement of these stories was as thrilling as the ghost stories Yan Cen used to tell him.

Brother Cat was a cat who only knew how to be supportive; when Mother Yan got tired from talking, he would proactively bring her water, which encouraged her even more.

Before they knew it, they arrived at tonight’s venue.

For these social occasions, both Father Yan and Mother Yan always brought Brother Cat along.

Besides the showmanship Brother Cat thought it was, it also served an important purpose—

They were publicly announcing: This is a member of the Yan family, Yan Cen’s legitimate partner. No one should disrespect him.

Of course, Mother Yan never told Brother Cat this intention.

She only said to him, “Our little darling is so good; I have to let everyone see.”

“Little darling, come here.”

Dressed in a suit, Father Yan called Brother Cat over. His public image was quite imposing, but he was gentle with his own family.

Brother Cat ran over and stood beside Father Yan.

“Let’s do as before,” Father Yan said to him. “When people come, just greet them. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“Okay!”

Brother Cat nodded seriously, ready to start the socializing.

“Uncle, hello.”

Among the arrivals was a familiar face—the mother and daughter who greeted Mother Yan at the mall that day. The daughter, Lin Lin, holding a glass of wine, smiled as she came over to toast Father Yan.

Father Yan shook his drink slightly. “I’ve recently quit drinking, so I’ll have this instead. Miss Liu, I hope you don’t mind.”

Liu Lin Lin quickly replied, “Not at all.”

Father Yan sipped his drink, listening to Liu Lin Lin’s flattering words.

After talking for a while without any response from Father Yan, she brushed her hair back and couldn’t help but ask, “How is Yan Cen now? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

Father Yan smiled, “You can ask Little Darling. Little Darling eats and lives with Yan Cen every day; he probably knows Yan Cen’s situation better than I do.”

After Father Yan said this, Liu Lin Lin’s smile faded slightly.

Her gaze landed on the boy in front of her—he was handsome, but she herself wasn’t unattractive.

Why on earth did Yan Cen choose such a boy…

“Yan Cen is doing well now. No need for you to worry.”

Brother Cat’s senses were sharp; staring face-to-face with Liu Lin Lin, he already sensed something wrong, and that this woman had designs on Yan Cen!

If it weren’t for the crowd, Brother Cat wouldn’t be so well-behaved.

He was naturally a predator, good at offense and fighting.

Now, for the sake of harmony, he had to suppress the fierce streak in his bones.

“As long as he’s well, I’m relieved.”Liu Linlin kept staring at the boy who made her jealous, a smile curling at her lips. “You look pretty young. How old are you?”

Brother Cat ignored her and just glanced at Father Yan.

Father Yan placed a hand on Brother Cat’s shoulder and calmly said to Liu Linlin, “Miss Liu, do you really think our Yan family would deceive a minor?”

“That’s not what I meant,” Liu Linlin quickly explained, but Father Yan still disapproved of her.

“Little darling, go find Mom.”

Mother Yan had just been pulled away by a friend and was currently unavailable.

Brother Cat scanned the venue and confirmed where Mother Yan was.

“Dad, I’m going over there now.”

Brother Cat told Father Yan, then headed toward Mother Yan.

As soon as he left, Liu Linlin also didn’t stay and turned away, disappearing somewhere unknown.

The venue was large, and many people had come.

In a corner, she was instructing carefully selected people.

“I don’t care what method you use tonight. The scandal must be huge so that the Yan family will despise him.”

“Miss, don’t worry. We have prepared many plans here. We guarantee his scandal will make trending searches.”

“Hm, go ahead.”

Liu Linlin watched her people leave, her fingers clenched into a fist.

With the wedding date approaching, she was forced to act.

She couldn’t just wait for Yan Cen to marry someone else.

At the venue,

Brother Cat was once again being shown off by Mother Yan to her friends.

“Our little darling is really so obedient. You all don’t know, he accompanies me every day and never gets impatient. And, well, the two of them—Yan Cen and him—tsk tsk, they’re just too sweet.”

Mother Yan showed off while Brother Cat obediently stood and cooperated.

After a while,

Mother Yan and her friends moved to another place to touch up makeup and have tea.

“Mom, I’ll wait here for you. You go have fun.”

At the banquet, Brother Cat knew Father Yan and Mother Yan wouldn’t stick with him every moment, so he was used to briefly being apart from them.

There was food all over the tables, and it was free, so Brother Cat always ate a lot.

This time, as usual, he took a plate, filled it with food, then sat down on a small sofa where no one was paying attention, comfortably starting to relax.

The phone Mother Yan bought him had only a few contacts.

Among them was a small pure white kitten.

Bored, he directly started a video call with the kitten.

The kitten, Bai Li, was busy at the cat café. After they connected, Bai Li held up the phone to show him the cats at the café.

“Brother Hei, the kittens at the cat café are all working hard!”

Bai Li reported to Brother Hei (Black-footed Cat): “Whenever a guest comes in, the kittens keep them there and get them to spend money on cat food cans.”

On the screen, a group of cute, playful kittens were energetically selling themselves for cat food and cans.

Brother Hei wasn’t very interested in cat food cans or the kittens.

He glanced at the new toys added to the café and snapped screenshots.

After taking the pictures, he sent the photos to Yan Cen.

“I want this!”"Okay, I’ll have someone buy it now."

Brother Cat sent the message and continued chatting with the kitten.

While they were talking, suddenly a stranger servant came to call him: "Hello, someone asked me to call you over. Madam Yan is looking for you."

Hearing this, Brother Cat ended the video call, stood up, and followed.

The servant only brought him to the back, then politely said, "Young Master, the person just told me to call you here. You can wait here? I still have other things to do."

"Okay."

After sending the servant away, Brother Hei started wandering around behind.

The lighting, whether broken or unrepaired, was not only dim but flickering, like it might go out anytime.

In this dim environment, a drunken man suddenly lunged from behind.

"Come, keep me company."

The man's tone was lewd, and he came at Brother Cat with his clothes disheveled.

He was strong and much bigger than Brother Cat. If Brother Cat didn’t react quickly, he would definitely be pulled into the man's arms.

But who was Brother Cat?

He was always the hunter, and he had never been caught like prey before.

"Bang—"

With a shoulder throw, Brother Cat firmly taught the man a lesson.

"Damn."

The drunk man lay on the ground in disbelief, eyes wide staring at the boy.

What the hell?!

How could he be thrown by a little boy?!

Brother Hei finished throwing the man but didn’t leave; instead, he squatted down, looking at this bold fool.

"What do you want to do to me?"

The disheveled man steadied himself and, since forcing it didn’t work, decided to adapt: "I’m attracted to you, so I want to pursue you."

Brother Cat: "..."

Brother Cat gave him a look that said, "Are you an idiot?"

The man gritted his teeth and continued seducing: "My family is not much worse than the Yans. If you come with me, I guarantee better conditions."

He said this, then threw out something he thought would crush Yan Cen.

"By the way, Yan Cen is disabled and definitely can’t satisfy you. But I’m different..."

The man placed his hand near his zipper and winked at Brother Cat: "I’m very good at this. Anyone who’s been with me, male or female, none disliked it."

"Just try once with me, I guarantee—"

"Bang."

Another loud noise.

Brother Cat, like playing with firecrackers, knocked the man down again with a crash.

The man originally wanted to undo his zipper but after the throw, his head was buzzing.

Brother Cat hadn’t fought in a long time, and this was his first break of that dry spell.

Meanwhile,

Someone was rushing to the back, and quite a few people came.

Rumors were spreading in front that the notorious playboy was having a tryst back here with someone in disheveled clothes.

A crowd gathered for gossip, including Father Yan and Mother Yan.

When they arrived, they didn’t see Little Darling and even asked each other about him."Little Darling has the phone he carries; just call him later and you’ll know."

Soon.

Everyone arrived at the back. When they walked over, everyone was frozen in place.

There was indeed one disheveled man.

But an affair...

They looked at each other, seeing the man’s bruised face, then at the boy beside him, too stunned to say anything.

"Mom."

Brother Cat had already gotten the story from the man’s mouth—he knew what the man came for and who arranged it.

He blinked innocently and said, "That person just now was cuddling and kissing a woman, and the woman even moaned. So I came out to do a good deed!"

Brother Cat went on in detail: "As soon as I came out, the woman ran away. Why did she run? Because I was there to help her beat the bad guy."

Mother Yan: "..."

Mother Yan’s expression instantly brightened.

In her heart, she thought, Oh my Little Darling, you’re really messing up someone else’s affair!

But on the surface, Mother Yan stayed composed. She pulled the boy close, checked if he was injured, then casually asked, "Who was the woman?"

"Lin Lin."

Brother Cat calmly exposed the woman who wanted to trap him.

"The man was kissing and praising Lin Lin at the same time."

Everyone: "Wow."

Tonight’s attendees did include a Lin Lin, and coincidentally, they recognized the man lying on the ground as someone who seemed to have a good relationship with Liu Lin Lin.

"Ahem."

Mother Yan hadn’t expected to find out for sure. She subtly nudged Little Darling closer to Father Yan, then smiled and said to everyone, "My Little Darling is young and naive. As for the man on the ground... our Yan family will cover his medical expenses."

Father Yan also spoke up appropriately: "That’s right. Even though Little Darling acted with good intentions, if he injured someone, our family won’t shirk responsibility."

Father Yan and Mother Yan fully accepted responsibility but didn’t mention the name Liu Lin Lin.

They didn’t mention her, but everyone clearly knew—

Hey, this is juicy.

Liu family’s youngest daughter is caught up in an affair like this.

With such a scandal, from now on, if Liu Lin Lin wants to marry anyone in the circle, it’s going to be tough.
