a good person!

The white lightning arrived in an instant

But before it could pounce, Wen Meng intercepted it mid-air and held it in her arms.

"Awuu!" Little White whimpered. (Where did you go!)

Xiao Bai remembered what Wen Meng had told them: if there were other humans present, they couldn't use human language.

"Good boy." Wen Meng patted its head soothingly, "I'm back."

Jiang Ling looked at the snowball in Wen Meng's arms.

Judging by its appearance, it looked a bit like a young Samoyed puppy.

It's just that its eyes are a vivid green, which doesn't quite resemble a dog's..

"This is my pet," Wen Meng said apologetically. "I'm sorry, did it scare you?"

Scared?

Jiangling: "No."

"But why is your puppy downstairs? Is it free-roaming?"

Free-range doesn't quite fit either; it's very clean.

"It will open the door by itself..." Wen Meng said, bracing herself.

Can you still take the elevator?

In the elevator.

Bang!

The small white paw pressed down and selected the 58th floor.

After pressing the button, he provocatively glanced at Jiang Ling.

Jiangling: "..."

You really know how to do it.

Wen Meng breathed a sigh of relief. Did she manage to get away with it?

But then again, how did you get down here?

Wen Meng asked Xiao Bai in her heart.

Xiaobai: Transformed into a human and walked down.

Oh right, I forgot that Xiaobai and the others can turn into humans..

It had been human for too long, and it automatically reverted back.

During the elevator's ascent, Wen Meng could sense the exact locations of the disaster beasts; everyone was at home.

At the same time, the disaster beasts also sensed Wen Meng; she was getting closer and closer!

As Wen Meng opened the door, a small bird with the appearance of a golden-yellow cockatiel came into view. It tilted its head, standing on the shelf in the entryway.

"You also keep birds?" Jiang Ling was surprised.

He originally thought that Wen Meng raising just a dog would be enough.

After all, those who like dogs and those who like birds are mostly people with quite different interests.

"Yes, that's right." Wen Meng closed the door.

I don't know how to explain it, so I simply won't.

"Sit down for a moment," Wen Meng led Jiang Ling to the sofa and had him sit down, pouring him a glass of water. "I'll be right back!"

Then she went into the kitchen to quickly prepare food for the disaster beasts.

She had done it many times, and with practice came skill; she could get it done in just 10 minutes.

Jiang Ling sat on the sofa, surveying her surroundings. Did she live alone?

Suddenly, a few pairs of eyes fixed on him.

Jiang Ling turned his head, and the Samoyed puppy he had just seen was standing on the sofa, watching him warily.

Coincidentally, on the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, a small golden bird perched high above.

Also stared at him, eyes unblinking, like a specimen.

They don't seem to welcome me?

This wasn't the end; another pair of eyes appeared in the shadows.

Something was slithering on the floor, making a rustling sound, accompanied by a hissing noise.

That thing climbed onto the coffee table and stood up in front of Jiang Ling

Jiangling: "..."

A black snake was flicking its tongue at him.

On the 58th floor lived a hardcore pet owner

Birds, beasts, and reptiles, all kinds of creatures..

-At the dining table-

The food in the hospital looks delicious, but in fact, the portions are very small

Wen Meng was hungry again.

After she prepared dinner for the disaster beasts, she cooked some noodles.

Of course, a bowl was made for Jiang Ling as well.

"Thank you." Jiang Ling didn't expect that there would be food here.

This is the most common instant noodle on Emperor Star, Little Grey Elephant brand instant noodles, a subsidiary of the Li Group's fast food company.

Wen Meng boiled the noodles at just the right temperature and time. The noodles were firm, looking soft and springy

On top, there was a boiled egg and a few green vegetables.

Jiang Ling wasn't hungry at first, but now, smelling the aroma, he felt hungry too.

Based on Wen Meng's family background, even if she were down and out, she shouldn't have to cook for herself

Cooking for pets might be out of interest, but the meals she makes for herself are actually quite delicious?

This truly surprised Jiang Ling. With a gentle pinch of the chopsticks, the skin of the boiled egg broke, and the runny yolk flowed out, rich and fragrant.

Or is this the price that must be paid for moving out to live on one's own?

Jiangling: "Is there anything you need help with?"

He spoke tactfully.

"Help?" Wen Meng was confused, "No, no, you've already helped me a lot."

Helped me escape from the hospital.

"Did your family ever... bully you?"

Jiang Ling put down his chopsticks.

Wen Meng whispered, "How did you know?"

They often bully me.

But from now on, she would not give them this opportunity again.

Is there really?

Then her actions were understandable.

Jiangling: "Wu Yan said it."

"Who is Wuyan?"

Sizzle—

The optical brain vibrated.

[Call from Wu Yan]

Jiang Ling immediately ended the call.

"Wuyan is the doctor who treated you..."

Wen Meng: "Oh, I see."

Although it's a bit strange, it seems like two negatives make a positive?

Since Jiangling asked,

Wen Meng: "I am already an adult, I can take control of my own life."

"Their treatment of me has nothing to do with me."

When she said this, her expression was indifferent, as if it were a trivial matter that couldn't stir the slightest ripple in her heart.

Jiang Ling, upon hearing her words, would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised at all.

The descendants of the noble and wealthy class of the imperial star, who among them dares to say that their lives are not connected to their family, let alone claim control over their own destiny?

Even he himself wouldn't dare to say that the rights and status he could attain today had no influence from his family's background.

"Alright," Jiang Ling said, "if you need any help, feel free to come to me."

Addicted to Helping Others?

"Thank you, you really are a good person!"

Caught off guard by a sudden rejection.

But it didn't matter; Wen Meng and Jiang Ling added Xing Xin's contact information.

[35 unread messages]

[Sender: Wu Yan]

I don't even dare to open it..

Jiang Ling turned off the optical computer.

He bid farewell to Wen Meng.

After all, it was getting late.

Wen Meng saw him out the door; he had come up just to see Wen Meng's pet.

While waiting for the elevator, Wen Meng asked, "Do you also have a pet?"

"Yes, I have a dog."

Jiang Ling responded, his gaze inadvertently glancing at Xiao Bai.

Little White snorted, "I'm not a dog!"
