This Bad Luck is Awesome!
Chapter 176 - 127: Accidentally Sent Chen Mo an Extra 1 Million?Chapter 176: Chapter 127: Accidentally Sent Chen Mo an Extra 1 Million?
"Hey, this is a pretty cute cat."
"I think this is a Ragdoll cat, right? My daughter loves them and has always wanted one."
"It doesn’t look like a stray. It must be someone’s pet that snuck out."
The repair technicians gathered around, looking at the pretty little cat and chatting amongst themselves.
"Mr. Chen, this cat...?"
Seeing that the cat had been removed from the car, Manager Zhou turned to Chen Mo, his gaze full of questions.
’How should we deal with this cat?’
"I know who this cat belongs to."
Chen Mo smiled. He was in a great mood as he replied to Manager Zhou.
"In that case, I’ll leave it for you to handle."
Hearing this, Manager Zhou had nothing more to say.
Usually, in situations like this, either the car owner takes the animal, or the shop helps deal with it.
That usually just meant asking if any of the shop’s employees wanted to adopt it.
Since Chen Mo knew who the cat belonged to, it was only natural for him to take it and return it to its owner.
Chen Mo walked up to the technician holding the cat and took a careful look at it.
After a few moments of careful observation, he confirmed it was the same Ragdoll from the ’Lost Cat’ poster.
The breed, the bow tie, the little charm—it all matched.
"I’ll take it."
Chen Mo smiled at the technician and held out his hands.
The technician placed the cat in Chen Mo’s arms.
Chen Mo cradled it in the crook of one arm and gently stroked its head with his other hand.
The cat was quite docile. Once it realized Chen Mo and the technicians meant it no harm, it stopped struggling and became completely still.
"Biscuit?"
Chen Mo remembered the cat’s name from the poster and called out tentatively.
"MEOW..."
The cat in his arms immediately let out a soft meow.
"Perfect."
’That settles it,’ Chen Mo thought, feeling completely certain now.
Cats, unlike dogs, don’t typically have a strong reaction to their names.
But they can understand when people call them by name.
It’s just that cats are only semi-domesticated, so sometimes, even when they understand, they simply don’t feel like acknowledging you.
B-DING~
Just then, his phone chimed twice.
Holding the cat with one arm, he pulled his phone from his pocket with his free hand to take a look.
It was a WeChat message from Wei Luyao.
"We’ve searched the entire campus. We’ve rounded up every single stray, but we still haven’t found that Lucky Cat."
"Who on earth is going to get this 1 million?"
The corners of Chen Mo’s mouth twitched upward as he read her message.
’They could search high and low on campus, turn the whole place upside down, and they’d never find it.’
’Because the cat was right here in his arms.’
"Stop looking. Just go back."
Chen Mo smiled and typed back a reply.
"No way. A 1 million reward is right in front of me. I have to consider if this might be the only chance I’ll get in my entire... university life."
Wei Luyao still didn’t want to give up on the 1 million reward, quoting the classic ShowMaker meme.
Chen Mo found it hard to keep a straight face after reading Wei Luyao’s reply.
’She’s even quoting memes?’
Chen Mo thought for a moment, then took a picture of the cat cradled in his arm.
"Does this cat look familiar to you?"
He sent the picture along with the message.
For a moment, there was only silence from her end.
But in the top-left corner, the indicator just kept blinking: Wei Luyao is typing...
"?"
A full minute passed before Wei Luyao finally sent a single question mark.
"So, are you going to keep looking?"
Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Keep looking, my ass. That 1 million was never meant to be mine."
Wei Luyao had given up completely. Her words showed not a trace of regret or disappointment.
If someone else from school had found the Lucky Cat, she might have felt a little disappointed.
But with the cat in Chen Mo’s hands, it meant the 1 million had nothing to do with her from the start.
That was purely a matter of fate.
"But how did the cat end up with you?"
Her curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn’t resist typing out the question.
"Well, here’s what happened..."
Too lazy to type, Chen Mo simply recorded a voice message and briefly explained the situation.
After listening to his explanation, Wei Luyao was completely stunned.
A dazed look appeared on her lovely, youthful face, and her beautiful eyes went wide.
"Are you serious?"
she muttered to herself in astonishment.
Chen Mo had dropped her off at school last night, parking his car across from the complex.
And as luck would have it, the cat had decided to crawl into his car all on its own.
Then, this morning, it had chewed something and caused his car to break down, forcing him to have it towed to the dealership, where they finally found the cat.
Then, just as this was happening, she’d sent him the ’Lost Cat’ poster with the cat’s picture on it.
The whole thing was just too much of a coincidence.
Besides, Chen Mo’s luck was just ridiculous. A Lucky Cat worth 1 million had crawled right into his car.
It was basically a delivery service for cash. How could anyone compete with that kind of luck?
"What kind of insane luck is that?! Gimme some of that! Gimme! Gimme!"
Wei Luyao’s youthful, pretty face was full of envy. She really did want some of Chen Mo’s luck.
"Take all you want. I’m going to call the cat’s owner now."
Reading Chen Mo’s message only made Wei Luyao more envious.
"Let’s head back. No need to keep looking."
Wei Luyao was ready to head back to the dorm, and she told her roommates to stop looking too.
"Why?"
Her roommates were taken aback. "We’re not looking anymore?"
"But that’s a 1 million reward! You don’t want it anymore?"
"The cat’s already been found."
Wei Luyao explained.
"What? Who found it?"
Her roommates’ eyes widened, their voices a mixture of surprise and disappointment.
"A friend of mine. He parked his car nearby yesterday while visiting the campus, and the cat just climbed right into his car on its own."
Wei Luyao briefly recounted the story Chen Mo had just told her to her roommates.
"You’ve got to be kidding me."
"How could something be that coincidental?"
"He just visited campus for a bit, and 1 million yuan just crawled into his car?"
"They say rich people are natural money magnets, that wealth is just drawn to them. Seeing this now, it really seems to be true."
