Chapter 1514: Chapter 1514: Indifferent to Fame and Fortune?
Why has Mengmeng’s health deteriorated when it used to be fine?The hot pot restaurant owner treats Mengmeng with the utmost care, as if it were a precious gem. Whatever Mengmeng needs, the owner ensures it’s provided. The owner even hired Ji You to give Mengmeng psychological counseling to keep it happy.
The entire restaurant’s profits were nearly spent on Mengmeng.
...
Treating it like a cherished son wouldn’t have been any more attentive, and yet Mengmeng is just an alpaca.
Ji You knows little about the hot pot restaurant owner who is always gentle and polite, making it difficult to judge his character. Ji You only knows the restaurant owner is the steward of Xia Man from Liu Fufeng’s household and later stayed behind at the Xia Family. Half of the Lanyue Star Military Academy campus and the entire commercial street were once Xia Family’s tribal properties, which Empress Xia Man bestowed upon the Lanyue Star Military Academy. As for the Xia Family, they only retained a bit of land for the hot pot restaurant.
Because of this, the steward remained at the hot pot restaurant.
Mengmeng was Liu Fufeng’s childhood pet...
And it’s said Mengmeng has never left here, implying Liu Fufeng lived in the hot pot restaurant for a period during childhood.
...
All of this comes from what was heard from Liu Fufeng and the hot pot restaurant owner. Ji You doesn’t know much; she’s not interested in prying into others’ privacy.
However, hearing about Mengmeng’s health issue made Ji You somewhat anxious.
Mengmeng seemed to sense her emotion and gently nuzzled Ji You’s cheek: "Meeeh—"
Ji You patted Mengmeng’s head and said, "Though time stretches through eternity, with eight wastelands in between, the future is like a sea, and days are long. Mengmeng, don’t be afraid. Sister is here, keep going!"
Mengmeng affectionately leaned against Ji You: "Meeeh!"
[Hmm!]
After the sumptuous meal, Ji You didn’t leave, staying in the micro-forest until Mengmeng fell asleep before quietly departing.
Turning around, she saw the hot pot restaurant owner. He wore a gentle smile and gratefully said, "Thank you so much, Ji You, for this time when Mengmeng’s sleep wasn’t good. It improved only after you returned to school with the young master."
Ji You asked, "Did you get a doctor for Mengmeng?"
