House Dad’s Literary Life Chapter 168

Chapter 168 – Using Zhu Bajie’s Weapon to Groom the Kittens

“Sister Mo Fei, this is Ju Jie. Are you not coming to the company today?”

Early in the morning, Mo Fei received a phone call. That disgusting person’s flattering voice made her good mood disappear. She had planned to see Yang Yi’s own hand-drawn “The Shape of Love” cartoon, but Mo Fei lost interest.

“Who annoyed you?” Yang Yi came back with the kittens’ food bowl. He took them to clean them just now. After all, the kittens were fed once in the morning. The kittens were very picky, and the leftover cat food has to be thrown away. If left in the air for a long time, it would become stale, and then they wouldn’t eat it!

“Ju Jie, the disgusting person who secretly arranged the scandal with the company last time!” Mo Fei seldom complained to others, even to Mo Xiaojuan. Before, she was bullied by Yang Yi, and she suffered silently. However, now, for some reason, in front of Yang Yi, she has a great desire to talk.

Yang Yi frowned. A little white face guy¹ with a smug smile that needed a beating appeared in his mind. Yang Yi asked, “What happened to him?”

“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that the company became aware that my 12 songs were written by Mu Li’ang, and that they wanted to cross me and divide them to other singers? Fortunately, Mu Li’ang found out that early and he and Mo Xiaojuan solved the problem.” Mo Fei said, “At that time, Ju Jie went to record a show, so he wasn’t in the company. Now, he is back. I don’t know where he heard about it, but he wanted me to ask Mu Li’ang for a song for him!”

“Haha, Mu Li’ang should not give it to him!” Yang Yi sneered.

Mo Fei nodded. She snorted and said contemptuously, “I don’t even want to pay attention to him, but what’s worse, he also brazenly proposed to ask Mu Li’ang to sell him an a cappella song and then fill in his name! He says money is not an issue, but how is this an issue of money? Does this man have any principle? It’s disgusting!”

Yang Yi was dumbfounded. There was still this kind of operation?

“He is a small star with no influence, how can he say that money is not an issue?” Yang Yi was curious about this point.

Mo Fei explained: “Ju Jie is a relative of Sister Ling, and it is said that his family also runs the company and is very rich.”

All these gossips were told to her by Mo Xiaojuan.

It turned out that he was a relative of Niu Meiling. No wonder he dared arrange a scandal with Mo Fei! Yang Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly. He felt that this Ju Jie would not give up.

After all, the people in Tianmei have his email address!

Originally, Yang Yi thought that if someone continued to harass him, he would change his email address. But now, Yang Yi has become interested.

Since he made Mo Fei unhappy, how could Yang Yi let that guy be unscathed? Since he was having ideas on Mu Li’ang, Yang Yi also has an interesting idea…

On the other side, Ju Jie angrily threw his cell phone on the sofa and swore, “Sh*t, that 13², she doesn’t put me in her eyes!”

Currently, he has a gloomy and ferocious expression on his face, completely without the sunny feeling of a small fresh flesh when he was in front of the camera.

Next to him, his agent Du Lun had no courage and could only comfort: “A’Jie, don’t mess with Mo Fei, let’s think of another way!”

“What way?” Ju Jie said angrily, “Don’t tell me to find someone else to ask for songs. I don’t want other people’s songs. I want Mu Li’ang’s. I want to be popular all over the country like Chen Yijie!”

Du Lun smiled bitterly in his heart: “You still want to be like Chen Yijie, I’m afraid even if you sing ‘Long Time No See’, you won’t become popular, right?”

Ju Jie, this pampered son of a wealthy, was really ambitious. His voice wasn’t recognizable, and he hasn’t received any professional training, nor has he seriously took the training arranged by Niu Meiling. He felt that being a little handsome, rich and having background, it would be easy for him to become a star.

Obviously, this was all a pipe dream – more than two years have passed, a lot of money has been spent, but only few splashes have been seen.³

But Du Lun was very smooth, he never showed his disdain. He smiled calmly and said to Ju Jie, “A’Jie, although I didn’t come back for the meeting, I still heard people say that Jian Chao has Mu Li’ang’s contact information. Moreover, I’m guessing that this has something to do with your aunt, too. If you want to find Mo Fei, it’s better to find Jian Chao or Sister Ling!”

“My aunt know Mu Li’ang?” Ju Jie wasn’t smart and only listened to half of what he said. His eyes lit up, patted the sofa and said, “Hey, Du Lun, why didn’t you say so earlier? Making me angry with this woman!”

He was getting angry by himself, and now he blamed him… Du Lun was a little speechless, but he advised: “A’Jie, don’t mess with her!”

“I’m going to ask my aunt for help!” Ju Jie wasn’t interested in anything but to curry favor with his Aunt Ling. He turned around and ran out excitedly.

…….

On this side, in order to make Mo Fei feel better, Yang Yi took her downstairs to play the piano. Music could be said to be Mo Fei’s catnip. As she played her favorite melody, she gradually showed a smile.

Yang Yi followed Xixi to pet the cat.

In order to take care of the three new members of the family, Yang Yi specially bought books to learn about raising cats. Therefore, Yang Yi could be said to be a cat expert with rich theoretical experience!

At this moment, he made Xixi hold a kitten, and then he took a rake comb, preparing to groom the kitten.⁴

“Cats shed their fur every day, but they shed more in spring and autumn. It’s almost autumn now. I’ve seen them shed a lot of fur recently.” Yang Yi did it and explained, “but we comb their fur, not to make them shed faster, but to help the kittens keep clean and make their hair more shiny and beautiful!”

Xixi was actually more interested in the rake comb in her father’s hand. She remembered the story⁵: “This is Zhu Bajie’s weapon!”

“Yes, Zhu Bajie’s weapon is also a rake, but it’s bigger!” Yang Yi said with a smile.

“I want to play, too, Papa. Can you give it to me?” Xixi opened her eyes wide, looked at her father expectantly, and asked.

Who could be indifferent in the face of such cute big eyes? Yang Yi handed the comb to the little girl and taught her how to hold it: “Don’t hold it too hard. If you hold it too hard, it will hurt the kitten!”

When Xixi heard that the kittens might get hurt, she hurriedly followed closely her father’s actions to learn earnestly: Use two fingers to gently hold the grip, as if holding a pen.

Yang Yi grabbed Xiao Hui. This little guy has long been waiting by the side. Just now, he watched Duoduo being taken care of comfortably. He probably felt impatient: “Master⁶, have you forgotten me?”

He stroked Xiao Hui’s head with his hand and massaged his body along his soft gray-blue fur. In fact, there was no need to do these. Xiao Hui has long been lying there, squinting his eyes comfortably, waiting for his master.

Under the guidance of her father, Xixi held the rake comb, then starting from Xiao Hui’s back, combed his fur a little bit in small areas.

It wasn’t very hard. Xiao Hui felt so comfortable that his tail raised up and moved gently from side-to-side.

At the back of the neck, chin, and chest. Xiao Hui got a full set of massage services from his master, and when it was all done, he jumped away full of energy, and he couldn’t wait to walk around in front of his companions, as if showing off.

“Hehe, it’s so fun! Xiao Hui is also very good!” Xixi became addicted to grooming the cat. She turned her head, “Where’s my Xiao Guai? Xiao Guai, come quickly, elder sister is going to comb your fur with Zhu Bajie’s weapon!”

Immediately, a small blue shadow jumped down from the sofa next to her.
