Chapter 2: A Furious Feline’s Revenge: Exposing a Scumbag in Broad Daylight

The husky, now full, was noticeably more energetic than before.

Even its signature goofy expression was returning, complete with upturned white eyes.

Earlier, it had been so hungry that its personality was completely suppressed.

The whole dog had looked listless.

Wen Youning rested her elbow on the table, tapping her cheek with her fingertips.

“Your husky definitely doesn’t destroy furniture.”

The male streamer was busy petting the dog’s head when he burst out laughing.

“How do you know?

Can you read its mind and hear it say, ‘I don’t like wrecking the house, I’m a good boy’ or something?”

Do you even need mind-reading for this? I could’ve guessed it too.

That dog was practically starving to death where would it find the energy to wreck a house?

This husky is so hungry it lost all willpower and means to cause destruction.

Some people are naturally dumb, and others make it look like an art form.

I suggest a serious investigation.

For a moment, Wen Youning couldn’t tell if the streamer was joking or being serious.

She cleared her throat and said, “Your dog doesn’t have any other issues.

If you’re really worried, you can take it to the vet for a check-up.

For daily care, just follow what I told you before and raise it properly.

I’m leaving now.”

Before the streamer could reply, the husky tilted its head back and barked, “Woof!”

Wen Youning smiled.

“Bye-bye.”

She ended the live stream and stretched lazily.

The first consultation had gone smoothly.

She opened the streaming platform’s dashboard and took a look.

Most viewers had entered the stream through the algorithm’s traffic pool, and no one had sent any virtual gifts.

Her earnings were only from the paid connection split 50/50 with the platform, leaving her with five yuan!

As a new streamer with a fresh account, the price for a paid connection was fixed at ten yuan.

Maybe the platform encouraged lower pricing to boost engagement.

Once her account level increased, this price would adjust accordingly.

One good thing about this platform was that there were no withdrawal restrictions.

Even five yuan could be transferred to a payment app and spent immediately.

Wen Youning stood up.

“If you’re interested, feel free to follow.

I stream irregularly, but if you have any pet-related questions, you can leave me a message.

I’m signing off to grab some food now!”

The chat:

Nooo! I still don’t get it! Is the mind-reading real or fake?!

Just stream your meal! Eating doesn’t stop you from doing live consultations!!!

Her stomach was already protesting with hunger.

Waiting for another paid connection would take too long.

She had waited since 9 AM, and she couldn’t hold out any longer.

“I’ll come back tonight for another stream.

I use my computer to stream, so it’s not convenient to”

Before she could finish, a special animation suddenly filled the screen, showering virtual petals everywhere.

A notification popped up: You have received: “Limited Edition Flower Sea.”

Wen Youning immediately changed her tune.

“Actually… now that I think about it, mobile streaming is quite convenient.

Thanks for the ‘Flower Sea,’ Boss!

Give me a second.”

Switching from PC to mobile streaming took only three seconds.

The ‘Flower Sea’ gift was worth 666 yuan after the platform’s cut, she still got over 300 yuan.

She had originally planned to buy a cheap bowl of vegetarian noodles downstairs.

Now, she could afford the deluxe meal!

Covering the camera, she headed downstairs.

“The noodle shop below my place always smells amazing when I walk by.

The owner slow-cooks broth with big bones and gives the discarded meat and bones to the stray animals passing by.

Even they approve of the taste, so the food must be good.”

A shop recommended by furry friends flavor guaranteed!

Wen Youning lived above a bustling food street.

This particular noodle shop was the most popular on the entire block.

As she stepped into the lively street, the scent of food mixed with the chatter of vendors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Even though it wasn’t peak dining hours, the shop was still crowded.

Luckily, the line wasn’t as long as it usually was during rush hour.

Her mind-reading ability had suddenly turned into a food critic’s tool.

“So delicious, meow.”

“This is for cats!”

“Awooo~”

Hearing the animals’ thoughts, Wen Youning turned her head.

In the corner, a row of small bowls had been placed on the ground, filled with shredded meat and soup.

Bones with bits of meat still attached were also scattered nearby.

However, since there was pure meat available, the stray kittens showed little interest in gnawing on hard bones.

The little furballs were piled together, fighting over the bowls in the center.

Even though there were untouched meat bowls nearby, they seemed to think the bowl that others were eating from tasted better.

“Move aside, meow!”

“Eat, eat, eat…”

A chubby little kitten was buried at the bottom of the pile, completely focused on its meal.

Even as its ears were bitten and a tiny paw pressed against its face, it remained completely unfazed.

Using its weight to its advantage, it secured the central position, practically covering the bowl with its head.

Wen Youning aimed her phone camera at the kittens.

“Look at how happily they’re eating.”

The kittens’ thoughts were filled with endless meowing undeniably adorable.

In the middle of this cozy moment, a sharp thought suddenly cut through the warm atmosphere.

“Disgusting human! Worse than a dog!”

Even through mind-reading, the sheer rage behind the words was palpable.

It sounded even harsher than an outright insult.

Then came another furious thought:

“Take this, human! A punch from meow!”

Wen Youning: “???”

Huh?

What?

Who?

From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a sleek-furred tabby cat launching itself like an arrow from a bow.

In the next second

A piercing scream rang out.

“Ahhh! Help!”

The sudden outburst startled everyone nearby.

For a moment, even conversations between friends came to an abrupt stop.

All eyes immediately turned toward the source of the commotion.

The crowd instinctively backed away, leaving a wide-open space around the scene.

The victim, a man, was hunched over, one hand protecting his head while the other flailed wildly.

A deep scratch across his face blurred his vision.

“The cat’s crazy! Chen Xue, help me already!”

“Meow!”

The tabby cat clung tightly to the man’s arm, sinking its teeth deep into his skin.

“Ah, fck!”

The man gritted his teeth.

“Damn cat, get off me!”

His girlfriend stood frozen, completely shocked by the situation.

She hesitantly stepped forward, trying to pry the cat away.

“Mimi! Mimi, let go!”

“Mimi, my ass! Grab a stick or something!”

Blood streaked down the man’s arm.

Seeing that shaking the cat off wasn’t working, he panicked and made a rash decision

He swung his arm toward the nearest tree.

“Hah!”

But the agile tabby sprang off just in time, leaping against the tree trunk and landing gracefully on the ground.

Its fur bristled, and it glared at the man with pure hostility.

“Filthy human!”

“Liar!”

The tabby cat was cursing furiously in its mind, its tail raised high, ready to charge at the man again and land a few more punches.

The entire scene was broadcasted live.

Holy sht, what’s going on?

Does this cat have rabies? It looks insane.

Chen Xue tore open a packet of tissues and quickly handed it to the man.

“Hurry up and go to the hospital to get a rabies shot.”

The man snatched the tissues from her hand angrily.

“I told you not to feed stray cats, but no, you wouldn’t listen! Now look at this I’m the one paying the price! I took this hit for you!”

Chen Xue opened her mouth.

“I… I don’t know what happened.

Mimi is usually very gentle.

She’s never”

The man cut her off.

“So you’re saying this is my fault?

I provoked it?

It’s just a damn animal!”

“You didn’t provoke the cat, but you provoked someone else, and the cat saw it.”

Wen Youning walked over to the tabby cat, squatted down, and gently patted its head.

Stray animals were naturally wary of humans, especially a tabby cat, which was basically the top-tier warrior of the feline world.

But for some reason, Wen Youning had an aura that made cats want to get close to her.

The tabby hesitated between fleeing or fighting, and in that moment of hesitation, its head got rubbed.

The man frowned.

“What the hell?

Is this your cat?

You saw what happened.

This cat scratched me like this you owe me compensation.

Medical bills, lost wages, rabies shots, and blood serum—not a single cent less.”

Chen Xue instantly knew what he was up to.

This was his usual way of making a fuss.

“Stop with the nonsense.

You know this is a stray cat.

Just go to the hospital already.”

The man shook off Chen Xue’s hand.

“Are you stupid? Shut the hell up!”

In his mind, his girlfriend’s money was his money.

Whether she spent it or he spent it, it was all coming from his own pocket.

Now that someone had stepped up, offering a chance to cover his expenses, he had to seize the moment.

What if this person disappeared after he got back from the hospital?

Wen Youning ignored the furious man and turned to the woman.

“Chen Xue, right?

Are you married to this guy?”

Chen Xue was caught off guard by the sudden change of topic.

She hesitated, then instinctively replied, “Not yet.”

Wen Youning nodded.

“Then your boyfriend has another girlfriend.”

The man froze for a moment before exploding in anger.

“What the hell are you talking about?!

Do I even know you?

Where do you get off making up lies about me?!”

“Meow!”

Wen Youning didn’t even glance at him.

While gently stroking the tabby cat, she continued.

“He was hugging another girl, right here.”

She pointed up at a security camera.

“This should have caught the whole thing.”

The tabby cat’s whiskers trembled in fury.

“Ugh!”

“He even kissed her a few times.

They shared a bowl of rice noodles, and your boyfriend told her that once he marries you, all his debts will become marital debts, which means you’ll have to split your assets with him.

He said you have several large apartments in the city center and that just two or three of them would be enough for him.”

At this, Wen Youning raised an eyebrow.

“You’ve been played by a scumbag.”

Wait, what?! Is this real?! How does the streamer know this?

Holy sht, look at that guy’s face. He’s turning black this might actually be real.

So the tabby cat was taking revenge for the girl?

Little Tabby is a warrior for justice! Good kitty!

Chen Xue was stunned for a few seconds.

She turned to her boyfriend with doubt creeping into her eyes.

“Is what she’s saying true?”

“Are you crazy, Chen Xue?”

The man refused to admit anything.

“This person just popped up out of nowhere!

I don’t even know her!

She’s making up a story, and you’re just buying it?!”

By now, the tabby cat had relaxed.

Maybe getting a few hits in had helped it vent its anger.

It curled up lazily at Wen Youning’s feet, flicking its tail.

“It’s not a lie…”

Following the cat’s thoughts, Wen Youning gestured toward the man’s pocket.

“Little Tabby says after your boyfriend sent the other girl off in a taxi, he called her and went ‘smooch smooch smooch’ over the phone.”

That smooch smooch smooch part was probably a misinterpretation by the cat.

After thinking for a second, Wen Youning translated it properly.

“They were kissing over the phone.

Check his chat history, and you’ll see whether I’m lying.”

Chen Xue locked eyes with the man, who was now visibly panicked.

Her heart was pounding.

She wasn’t sure how things had escalated this far, but his expression was telling enough.

She stretched out her hand.

“Give me your phone.”

The man instinctively shoved his hand into his pocket, gripping his phone tightly but refused to take it out.

“Chen Xue, we’ve been together for years, and you’d rather trust a total stranger over me?

And what’s with this ‘the cat said’ nonsense?

Since when can cats talk?!

Don’t listen to her bullshit”

Chen Xue was done.

“Fine.

Then I’ll go ask the shop owner for the security footage.”

“Wait!”

The man panicked.

His voice turned sharp and defensive.

“Do you think they can just hand over private footage like that?

And besides, we’re getting married!

Shouldn’t you at least trust me a little?!”

“I trusted you too much already, you cheating scumbag!”

Chen Xue snapped.

Because of trust, and because she valued privacy, she had never checked his phone not even once.

She didn’t even know his phone password.

But now, it was clear.

He hadn’t even bothered to delete his messages.

That’s why he was so flustered when she asked to see his phone.

If he wasn’t guilty, he wouldn’t be acting like this.

He simply didn’t have enough time to delete the evidence.

“And you had the nerve to say the cat had rabies?

I think the real diseased animal here is you!”

Chen Xue grabbed her purse and smashed it against him.

“Wait let me explain!

She meant nothing to me!

It was just fooling around ah!”

“Get lost!”

Chen Xue shouted as she chased him away.

“Tsk.”

Wen Youning sat on the steps, rubbing the tabby cat’s belly and shaking her head.

“Serves him right.”

“Meow!”

Good hit!

The tabby cat flipped over, flicked its tail, and ran after the man.

“Let me give you a few more punches, meow!”
