Milk Tea said humbly, “It’s not only my doing. As Beef Ball played with Noodle daily, he started to imitate him.”
Fish Ball said telepathically to Beef Ball, “Son, learn the skills but don’t learn how Noodle eats curry.”
“What? Fish Ball’s here too?” Zhao Xue’s voice rang from the Dimension Portal. She was in a singlet, shorts, and slippers and greeted Fish Ball as she went towards the cafe cashier counter.
Ning Ning said immediately, “Zhao Xue! What are you doing?”
Zhao Xue took out the cash drawer from the counter and frowned. “Taking money. I used up my pocket money so I came here to get some.”
Ning Ning drummed up her courage and stood in front of Zhao Xue. “No! This is the cafe’s money!”
“It’s alright, I’m Zhao… I’m the boss’ sister. It’s alright to take some money.” Zhao Xue smiled merrily as she shoved Ning Ning aside and took out the drawer. Then she pocketed all the money.
Matcha rolled his eyes. “Zhao Xue… has become the decadent spendthrift of her family.”
“Huh?” Zhao Xue’s ears quivered and turned her head over as she glared at Matcha. “Do you have an opinion on the taking of my family’s money?”
Matcha shook his head like a runaway rattle-drum. “No opinion, I have no opinion. Zhao Yao hid some money under the table rests. You may take them too.”
“You are obedient Matcha.” Zhao Xue took away all the cash in the cafe and Ning Ning hugged Zhao Xue’s leg as she said, “No! I’ll be scolded by my boss! You can’t take the money!”
A yawn was heard from the reclining chair. Zhao Xue became fearful. “Brother’s awake?” She flashed and bolted towards the Dimension Portal.
As she was about to enter, she discovered that the portal vanished.
She turned her head and looked in embarrassment at Zhao Yao. “Brother…”
Matcha thought, “I said a lot of things in Zhao Yao’s ears but he wouldn’t wake up. When the money’s missing, he wakes up immediately. Money’s indeed important to him.”
Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Xue and extended his palm. “Surrender the money.”
Zhao Xue smiled foolishly. “Ah? What?”
“Surender the money.” Zhao Yao flashed and activated Time Freeze to get back the money.
Seeing Zhao Yao put back the money into the drawer, Zhao Xue hugged Zhao Yao’s leg and pleaded, “Brother! I’ve no money! I’ve no money for dinner! Please pity your sister!”
“Tsk.” Zhao Yao looked in disdain at his sister. “Want to earn some money? Work in my cafe.”
Zhao Xue felt a shiver running down her spine and she backed off ten meters. “I don’t want to work for you. Only a fool will work for you!”
Ning Ning was speechless again.
Zhao Xue rolled her eyeballs and said, “How about this? Lend me the money. Once I make money, I’ll repay you.”
Zhao Yao looked disinterested as he lay on the chair and said, “I’m not lending you any money.”
“D*mn.” Zhao Xue turned her head and thought, “He has so much money but is unwilling to give a little to his sister. What a miser.”
Seeing Ning Ning gloating over her misfortune, Zhao Xue said, “What’re you smiling about? He’s unwilling to lend money to his sister, do you think he’ll give you a raise? He’ll squeeze you dry.”
Ning Ning was speechless again.
Zhao Yao stroked his chin and said reluctantly, “Zhao Xue, what are you going to do next?”
Zhao Xue said, “I intend to go eat a Japanese buffet after taking the money. Are you treating me?”
Zhao Yao frowned as Zhao Xue said, “Yes, the air cleaning machine at Cat Island’s broken and the filter has to be changed. The milk tea in the fridge had to be replenished…”
Zhao Xue spoke as she carried Elizabeth and cuddled her.
“What a sister.” Zhao Yao’s eyelids jumped as he said, “Aren’t you 25 years old? Isn’t time to work and contribute to the family?”
“Work…” Zhao Xue caressed the belly of Elizabeth as she struggled to free herself. Zhao Xue pinched Elizabeth and she showed the whites of her eyes as she convulsed and lay in Zhao Xue’s arms, unable to stop Zhao Xue from caressing her belly.
Zhao Xue pondered and said, “Actually, I have work.”
“Oh? What’s the work?” Everyone looked astonished at Zhao Xue who was drinking milk tea and playing computer games all day at home.
“I’m the National Security Special Assistant,” Zhao Xue said proudly, “My workplace is my home. My work is to stay at home, do nothing and receive twenty thousand dollars of salary.”
Zhao Yao said, “That’s not work. They are giving me face by taking care of you! You are a grown up and still idling at home. Go out and find work to support yourself.”
Zhao Xue sighed reluctantly and buried her head in Elizabeth’s stomach.
“Boss, is Zhao Xue here?” Bai Quan walked out from the Dimension Portal and smiled as he greeted everyone.
Zhao Yao said in surprise, “Bai Quan? Why are you here? Isn’t Cat Wonderland Street busy?”
“We’re here too!” Dust Ball, Red Packet, Cannon walked out of the portal. Red Packet and Cannon picked up the catmint and put it in front of Zhao Yao.
“Zhao Yao! Happy Birthday!”
Zhao Yao was astonished as he glanced at the cats. “I almost forgot…” He had been working day and night in Closers World and time was accelerated. He forgot about the dates in the material realm.
Matcha ran out and gave a wallet to Zhao Yao. “Happy Birthday Zhao Yao! I got everyone to prepare this surprise for you!” He knew that Zhao Yao loved money and got a wallet for him.
Latte ran over and gave some hell notes to Zhao Yao. “Zhao Yao! Matcha told me you love money! I went to Taobao and bought lots of hell notes for you!”
Matcha slapped Latte’s head in fury. “Silly cat!”
“I’m not silly! My IQ’s 90!”
Zhao Yao laughed heartily as he picked up Latte and caressed his head. “Silly boy, you’re as silly as your dad when he was small.”
“Zhao Yao! Happy Birthday!” Fish Ball held a furry cat doll and walked forward. “This doll was made using my son’s shed fur.”
Zhao Xue smiled merrily as she took out a long black pantyhose. “A pantyhose from a beautiful girl for your birthday gift.”
“Get lost.” Zhao Yao knocked his head on Zhao Xue’s head and she covered her face as she groaned in agony.
All the cats on Cat Island arrived. Xiao Yu, Xiao Ming, Black Panther and Uncle Ho came to congratulate Zhao Yao on his birthday. The cafe became crowded but cosy.
Outside the cafe, Sun Jian brought a few burly guys and pointed at the cafe. He said to a fat guy and said, “Brother Shen, that’s the cafe. Their boss should be an apostle.”
“Apostle?” The fat guy smiled coldly. “Aren’t we apostles too?”
