Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3093: Chapter 3029: Drowning Cat

The commotion scared Nian Mutong so much she let out a shrill scream.

She really hadn’t been mentally prepared at all; she never thought Jiang Xiao would just kick the door open like that.

”Ah!”

She screamed, grabbed a towel and clutched it to her body, and jumped behind the door.

Jiang Xiao walked in with a dark face.

She had clearly heard Snow Ball’s voice in here just now; she was sure she hadn’t misheard.

So how could she possibly let Nian Mutong stay in there rambling on?

Right after kicking the door open, she immediately started looking around.

There was almost nothing in the bathroom; you could see everything at a glance.

Aside from two towels hanging on the wall, an empty plastic bucket, and a basin on the floor with clothes soaking in it.

At first glance there really was nothing else.

”Jiang Xiao, are you insane or what?!”

Nian Mutong was still shaken; she hadn’t actually planned on taking a shower, so of course she hadn’t brought a change of clothes in.

Before Jiang Xiao kicked the door, she’d even felt a bit smug about her quick thinking in the moment—stripping off her clothes to soak them in that basin and cover the cat. That way, Jiang Xiao might not dare to come in; even if she helped bring in clothes for her and then came in to look, she might not think the cat was hidden under that pile of wet clothes.

If they dragged it out a little longer, that white cat very likely would drown.

But she never imagined Jiang Xiao would actually dare to just kick the door open.

This was the Gao Family, the Gao Family!

Gao Ming was still at home!

How could Jiang Xiao dare, how could she?

Where did Jiang Xiao get the nerve, why did she dare to be this arrogant?

She was seriously outrageous!

Jiang Xiao didn’t look at her at all. She walked over to the window, glanced at it, then carefully peered outside.

No sign of Snow Ball.

Only then did she turn around to look at Nian Mutong and ask in a low voice, ”Where’s Snow Ball?”

”What Snow...Snow Ball? I don’t know.”

Nian Mutong hadn’t expected those couple of cries from Snow Ball just now to be heard by Jiang Xiao.

”The cat. The white cat.”

”How would I know? I’ve been in here taking a shower this whole time, how am I supposed to know where your cat is? This is ridiculous—your cat goes missing and you come barging in here to look for it?”

”You talk too much.”

Which meant she was guilty.

But there really was nowhere to hide anything in here.

No, there was...

Jiang Xiao’s gaze landed on that basin.

The moment she saw Jiang Xiao look at the basin, Nian Mutong’s heart started pounding wildly. No way—Jiang Xiao couldn’t possibly guess even this, could she?

”Jiang Xiao, get out! Even if you want to search, shouldn’t you at least let me put some clothes on first?”

Jiang Xiao didn’t answer her. She strode over, hooked her foot under the basin, and flipped out all the water and clothes in one go.

Water splashed all over the floor.

Clothes spread across the tiles.

And stuck tight to those clothes, a white-furred white cat slid out onto the floor as well.

Appearing in Jiang Xiao’s line of sight.

The moment she saw the state Snow Ball was in, Jiang Xiao’s pupils contracted, and then a surge of fury burned her eyes red.

She lashed out with a kick, sending Nian Mutong crashing into the wall.

Nian Mutong hit the wall and fell to the floor, already unconscious.

Jiang Xiao scooped Snow Ball into her arms and rushed out, racing downstairs.

This was the Gao Family.

She hadn’t brought anything with her; there was absolutely no way to save Snow Ball here!

So right now she couldn’t spare a thought for settling accounts with Nian Mutong—she had to get out first!

Gao Ming had retreated downstairs and was just thinking over how to play this, how to spin it so that Meng Xinian and Jiang Xiao’s reputations would be ruined, when he saw Jiang Xiao charging down the stairs with a dripping wet white cat in her arms.
