I am financially free

Chapter 43, Kitten

He slept extremely drowsily that night. When Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, the time had already reached nine o'clock. Fortunately, he had asked for leave from his boss yesterday, so that a hard-working employee would not be ruined. Absenteeism records are available.

A message from Wang Xiaobing had been received on his mobile phone, telling them that they had taken the bus back. After checking the time, it was after seven o'clock, Jiang Chen quickly replied to the message and got up.

The weather in October was already a bit cold. After dinner, Jiang Chen was wrapped in a thin blanket and stretched out on the sofa. His posture was even lazier than Uncle Ge's.

Looking at the view of the Pujiang River outside the window, it was really refreshing and comfortable. Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly feel happy that the house he chose was really good.

Suddenly, out of the corner of Jiang Chen's eyes, there seemed to be a ball of furry things squirming in the corner of the sofa. He couldn't help but panic, maybe there was a mouse~
That thing was one of the animals that Jiang Chen was most afraid of since childhood, the other being snakes.

In desperation, Jiang Chen quickly found something handy and walked over.Just then, he heard a soft voice.

"Meow~"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but was stunned for a moment when he saw a head protruding from the fur. He slowly raised it, revealing a pair of sapphire-like eyes looking at him.

WHAT?

Where did this kitten come from? Jiang Chen looked at it blankly and couldn't help but search for it in his mind. The scene from last night flashed in his memory.

Last night, Jiang Chen, who was drunk, was sent back by a chauffeur. When he was about to get on the elevator, he found a kitten curled up alone in the corner of the underground garage. It was white all over and had shiny hair. It was hard to tell what kind it was. He opened his eyes. Looking at him pitifully with a pair of big eyes, Jiang Chen felt a little pity, so the kitten was hugged back by him.

Jiang Chen gently rubbed his temples and finally recalled what happened yesterday, but it had already happened, so he had to accept it slowly.

He stretched out his right hand and slowly approached the kitten. When he saw that it showed no hostility, he felt relieved. He gently placed it on its little head, caressing it carefully while muttering to himself. Author:

"You're homeless anyway, so just follow me from now on, and I'll give you everything you need!"

The kitten nuzzled into Jiang Chen's hand very obediently, and gave a soft "meow" sound, as if it understood what he said. The beard at the corner of its mouth turned up slightly, as if it was smiling.

"Wait a minute, I need to give you a nice name. Let me think about it~"

"I picked it up from the basement, right? How about calling it the garage?"

"No, it doesn't sound good. Is that called a sports car?"

"It still doesn't work. You have white hair, so let's call it a white cat."

If it could understand, it might scratch Jiang Chen's face angrily.

"Forget it, I've decided, you will be called Baicai from now on."

"Yes, it's called Cabbage!"

"Meow~"

"Look, you like this name too, don't you?"

Jiang Chen was petting the cat and muttering to himself. The scene was really a bit dumbfounding. As a novice at naming, he was able to name the kitten and wasted almost an entire morning.

"Ring~ring~ring, bell~ring~ring."

"Who?"

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Jiang Chen responded, quickly sat up from the sofa, came to the door barefoot, and opened the door.

But he found that there was no one outside, and then he remembered that except for the owner, no one else could enter other floors. But when he tried to answer it again, the ringing of the doorbell had stopped. After waiting for a while, he saw no more. There was no movement and I had to give up.

Not long after, Jiang Chen's cell phone rang. He looked at the phone number and it belonged to the property manager. After answering, a capable voice came from the phone. "Hello, are you Mr. Jiang?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Jiang Chen was a little surprised. Generally, property managers would not disturb the owners unless there was something special.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, did you pick up a white kitten in the underground garage last night?"

"Ah~ yes, what's wrong?"

"The thing is like this. An owner of our Building No. [-] accidentally ran out of a cat he kept at home. He asked our property management to help find it. We can find out by retrieving the monitoring records that it seems to have been picked up by you yesterday. Let’s go, look…”

"Forehead……"

Jiang Chen had a confused look on his face after hanging up the phone. He looked at the well-behaved Baicai beside him and felt very reluctant to give up. However, the real owner had already come to the door, so it seemed that he might not be able to survive.

You see what happened to this matter, I said that when I picked it up yesterday, the cat was so clean and not as sloppy as ordinary stray cats. It turns out that it has an owner.

How embarrassing, I accidentally became a cat thief!

……

More than ten minutes later, Jiang Chen brought the kitten to the property management office.

After entering the door, I found that in addition to the property manager I knew, there was already a lady in her 30s waiting there, and behind her was a little boy about seven or eight years old. The skin around his eyes was rubbed red, and he looked like It was because he had cried a lot that he looked like this.

As soon as the sharp-eyed little boy saw Jiang Chen approaching with the kitten in his arms, he shouted excitedly:

"Mom, it's pudding. Did you see it? Pudding was found."

"Okay, okay~ I saw it!"

Hearing her son's yelling, the lady looked helpless and touched her son's hair from time to time to signal him to keep quiet.

This lady was very polite. Before Jiang Chen arrived, she stood up and stepped forward with a very grateful look on her face. She took the lead and said, "You are Mr. Jiang. I'm really sorry for causing you any trouble."

Jiang Chen quickly said: "It's okay, we are all neighbors in the same community."

She said helplessly: "Oh, after raising the child for several months, he has developed feelings for him. No, I have to get him back after crying and making trouble. I don't even want to go to school today."

Jiang Chen nodded: "I can understand. Come on, kid, can you please give it back to me?"

After saying that, he handed the kitten over. The little boy took it happily and then bowed to Jiang Chen.

"Thank you, uncle."

Jiang Chen: "..."

Miss:"……"

Property manager: "..."

Countless MMPs flashed through my mind, my little mouth is so sweet, I must keep it up in the future.

……

When Jiang Chen returned home, he felt empty in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. So he picked up his phone and searched for a while, then got up and went out!
