Lin Gantang remained silent. Mr. Lin seemed to think she disagreed and huffed, “I’ve invested money in it anyway. Can’t the major shareholder make such a decision?”

“Alright,” Lin Gantang reluctantly agreed, “But, Dad, you can’t buy any more.”

“I know, 1 know.” Mr. Lin replied, “You can continue looking for your loving cats. Lu Yuan, help her take them to the third floor.” He continued, “With such a large cat tree, I could hang ten of them on it easily. What’s wrong with buying two?”

Everything was prepared, and they were just waiting for the opening.

These past couple of days had been busy for Lin Gantang, and she hadn’t had the chance to see Wen Yanqing. Since she came back early today, she sent him a message, asking if he wanted to have dinner together.

Wen Yanqing called and said, “I have a social gathering tonight. It’ll end around eight o’clock. I’ll come to see you after that, okay?”

His gentle voice made Lin Gantang’s ears feel warm. “Then I’ll have dinner with my dad and the others. You should drink less. Come see the cat I adopted tonight. It looks unique.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t drink,” Wen Yanqing reassured her.

In the evening, when Jiang Tongtong returned home, she sneaked up to the third floor before Lin Zhaonan came back. Her eyes sparkled as she petted the Ragdoll cat on the left and hugged the Scottish Fold cat on the right. She was so delighted that she couldn’t contain herself.

All three cats had been vaccinated and had especially gentle personalities.

“Remember to brush off any fur from your clothes when you go out later,” Lin Gantang advised.

“Your brother is overly cautious. What’s wrong with having cats? 1 argue about science with him, and he argues about probability with me,” Jiang Tongtong complained, her gaze fixed on the calico cat. “Is this the one you adopted? It’s so well-behaved.”

Lin Gantang wished her father could be more like Jiang Tongtong, seeing a cat’s true nature beyond its appearance.

“I haven’t named it yet. Do you have a suitable name?” Lin Gantang asked.

Jiang Tongtong was still thinking when Lin Zhaonan’s voice echoed from downstairs.

Jiang Tongtong immediately put down the sweet Ragdoll cat, hastily tidied her clothes, and quietly slipped back to the second floor, as if she were sneaking around like a thief.

“Walk a bit slower,” Lin Gantang reminded her from behind.

Lin Zhaonan didn’t seem to notice Jiang Tongtong secretly petting the cat. He served food into Jiang Tong Tong’s bowl with a gentle expression as they ate.

While Lin Gantang was savoring her favorite steamed fish, Mr. Lin asked, “Where’s Yanqing? He hasn’t been here for a few days.”

“Dad, is it me who’s in a relationship or you?” Lin Gantang teased while picking out fish bones.

Mr. Lin glared at her. “He’s alone over at the Yuanshui River area, and he’s not close to his father, all alone. Don’t you think you should bring him home more often?”

“That’s a good point. But he must be tired from going back and forth. How about I move in with him?” Lin Gantang suggested.

Then she realized her father had fallen silent.

“You have a son. Just look at your brother. He’ll get jealous if you act like this,” Lin Gantang commented.

“I’m not a child,” Lin Zhaonan replied, glancing at her.

“That’s right. He has everything, so why would he be jealous?” Mr. Lin said, quite satisfied with Lin Zhaonan’s generosity.

“Brother, you’re out of favor,” Lin Gantang stated calmly.

“Don’t worry. 1 have all the passbooks,” Lin Zhaonan reassured her, staying extremely composed.

With the power of controlling the finances, he was composed.

“Dad, are you retiring? Passbooks? What passbooks? What about mine?” Lin Gantang was still in shock.

“You? I’m worried you’d bankrupt the Lin family overnight.” Mr. Lin almost forgot to mention, “Oh, right, the supplementary card I gave you, the main card is with your brother. If you need money in the future, ask him.”

“What!” Lin Gantang was still taken aback. “Dad, wake up. When I was a child, he wouldn’t even give me ten yuan as pocket money!”

Mr. Lin took a sip of wine and seemed satisfied. “It’s alright. It’s not like we’re dividing the inheritance. Don’t worry, I can still spare ten yuan.”

Then, he added considerately, “Don’t worry, I’ll hold onto your shares for you. You’ll receive dividends. Your brother can work for you.”

Lin Gantang suddenly felt comforted..
