Holy Crap! My Cat is Actually a Female CEO?!

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Caught, It’s Beyond Explanation

"Ah—"

Su Qianqian ran right into the person, her body uncontrollably falling backward.

Fortunately, the person outside had quick reflexes and shot out a hand to grab her, saving her from the embarrassment of falling flat on her back.

Su Qianqian was so startled she froze, momentarily forgetting to cry.

"Miss, are you all right?"

Hearing the middle-aged beauty’s words, Su Qianqian finally snapped out of it. She quickly apologized, "I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m sorry."

"Mom, you’re here."

Just then, Gu Yizhou walked over from the living room.

The moment he spoke, Su Qianqian realized the person before her was Gu Yizhou’s mother, and she was suddenly even more at a loss.

"Mm."

Chen Dongmei glanced at her son, nodded, and then gave him a look that clearly asked, ’What’s going on here?’

Gu Yizhou naturally understood his mom’s look. He said, a little awkwardly, "Mom, this is my classmate, Su Qianqian."

"H-Hello, Ma’am..."

Su Qianqian murmured, her face blushing.

"Oh, hello, hello."

Chen Dongmei nodded, smiling at the pretty young woman before her.

"Um... Ma’am, I have to go, so I won’t disturb you any longer."

Su Qianqian felt mortified. She spoke to Chen Dongmei, her face red.

"Oh, Qianqian, won’t you stay a little longer?"

Chen Dongmei asked.

"No, no, Ma’am. I’ll come visit you next time."

Su Qianqian said.

With that, she hurriedly left.

She couldn’t help it!

In her current state, she was too ashamed to stay.

Watching Su Qianqian’s hasty retreat, Chen Dongmei’s eyes flickered, her thoughts unreadable.

Only when Su Qianqian’s figure had disappeared down the stairs did she look away.

"Ahem."

"Mom, why are you here so early today?"

Gu Yizhou gave a fake cough and asked with a straight face.

Chen Dongmei shot him a sideways glance but didn’t say a word, walking straight into the living room.

Seeing his mom ignore him, Gu Yizhou awkwardly rubbed his nose, then closed the door and followed her inside.

At that moment, Yan Luoxi, who was huddled on the balcony, saw Gu Yizhou’s mother. And Gu Yizhou’s mother saw it.

The woman and the cat stared at each other.

Chen Dongmei was a little surprised.

’When did this brat get a cat?’

she thought to herself.

But she didn’t say anything out loud.

Yan Luoxi was also sizing up Gu Yizhou’s mom.

Judging by Gu Yizhou’s age, Chen Dongmei had to be around forty, but she looked like she was only in her thirties.

And it had to be said, Gu Yizhou’s mother was gorgeous—a true middle-aged beauty.

’And that damn dog of a man perfectly inherited his mother’s good looks. No wonder he’s so handsome!’

Yan Luoxi thought to herself.

...

"Mom, have some water!"

Gu Yizhou poured his mother a glass of water and offered it to her.

Chen Dongmei didn’t take the water. Instead, she shot him a look and said flatly, "Hiding a girl in your love nest?"

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou didn’t get it at first. He just stared at his mom blankly.

"Explain. What was the deal with that girl just now?"

Chen Dongmei said, her expression unreadable.

"Oh, that girl’s my classmate. Didn’t I already introduce you?"

Gu Yizhou replied casually.

"Hah."

Chen Dongmei scoffed. "A classmate? A classmate who leaves your apartment first thing in the morning?"

When her son stayed silent, she added pointedly, "And, if I’m not mistaken, that young lady was crying when she ran out of here, wasn’t she?"

Gu Yizhou was speechless.

’This...’

He really didn’t know how to explain this.

’I can’t just say that Su Qianqian came over this morning to confess to your son, I rejected her, and she ran out crying, can I?’

’That would be unfair to Su Qianqian, and besides, Mom probably wouldn’t even believe me!’

"Um... Mom, you probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you, but anyway, it’s not what you think!"

Gu Yizhou said after a long silence.

"How do you know I won’t believe you if you don’t tell me?"

Chen Dongmei said coolly.

Gu Yizhou was speechless.

He glanced at his mother, feeling utterly helpless.

’Seriously!’

’Mom, how am I supposed to respond to that?’

’Am I supposed to just walk right into the tiger’s den?’

’I’m not an idiot!’

’Silence is golden right now!’

Gu Yizhou silently clamped his mouth shut.

Seeing him go quiet, Chen Dongmei shot him a look. Of course, she knew exactly what he was thinking.

He’d been using that trick since he was a boy; she knew what he was up to before he even started.

But Chen Dongmei couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She said directly, "I don’t care how you live your life normally, but you better remember this: a person needs to have principles. The Gu Family will absolutely not tolerate the kind of irresponsible behavior where you use someone and then cast them aside!"

Gu Yizhou was speechless.

"Mom, come on, don’t you know what kind of person your son is?"

Chen Dongmei glanced at him and said flatly, "I used to know. Now... I’m not so sure."

"Mom, don’t worry. I still have some sense of shame!"

Gu Yizhou’s expression froze. He replied, looking helpless.

"Hah."

"You can’t be such a scumbag."

"I don’t care if you have any shame, but the Gu Family cannot lose face!"

Chen Dongmei said expressionlessly.

Gu Yizhou: "...-_-||"

’Yep, that’s my dear mother, alright!’

What else could Gu Yizhou say?

"Alright, I’ve said my piece. I can’t be bothered to nag anymore. You can think about the rest yourself!"

After tossing out that last sentence, Chen Dongmei got up and walked toward the kitchen.

But when she opened the refrigerator, she couldn’t help but frown.

There was a simple reason.

The fridge was completely empty!

Oh, wait, there were some drinks!

When she pulled open the freezer compartment and saw beef, shrimp, and chicken breast inside, Chen Dongmei’s brow relaxed slightly.

’But... how can he not have any vegetables!’

What Chen Dongmei didn’t know was that she assumed this was Gu Yizhou’s food, never imagining it was actually for feeding the cat!

"You brat!"

"How many times have I told you? The food from outside is unhealthy! I told you to eat less takeout, but you just refuse to listen!"

"And another thing, why is there only meat in your fridge and no vegetables?!"

"If you don’t eat vegetables every day, how are you supposed to get your vitamins?!!"

...

"Huh?"

Hearing his mom’s voice from the kitchen, Gu Yizhou was a bit confused.

’Meat...’

He instinctively glanced toward the balcony.

He saw the little white cat looking right back at him.

’Uh...’

’If Mom finds out that all this meat isn’t for me, but for Xiaobai, and that I’ve been living on takeout this whole time, she’d probably charge out of the kitchen with a cleaver...’
