Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Something’s wrong! The look on his face was colder than ever before.
The employees dining around the cafeteria all looked over to Ming Yao’s table.
Ming Yao, Ding Jie, and Ling Xi were sitting together.
Compared to Ding Jie and Ling Xi’s tension, Ming Yao appeared nonchalant, as if nothing was the matter.
Ming Yao put down her chopsticks and slightly curled her red lips.
She stood up and said with a half-smile, “Sister Tong, having worked in Autumn Water Studio for so many years, have you ever taken bribes, cut corners, or falsified accounts?”
Sister Tong’s face turned pale instantly.
“Or, would you like me to expose the affair you’ve been having behind your husband’s back?”
Ming Yao’s voice was very light, but it sounded like a devil’s whisper in Sister Tong’s ears.
These were her secrets, how could Ming Yao know them?
Of course, Sister Tong didn’t know that Ming Yao was a top hacker; there was nothing she couldn’t find out if she wanted to!
Sister Tong trembled, her face pale as she said, “Young Miss, what, what do you want to do?”
Ming Yao’s expression changed slightly, cold and sharp, “Resign on your own or be fired by me, choose one!”
When Sister Tong had processed her voluntary resignation at the HR department, she was completely stunned.

How had she ever thought the Young Miss, who came to the company, was busty and brainless, easy to bully?
She moved without creating a stir, undermined the foundations with ruthless efficiency, even more decisive than a man!
Ming Wan learned that her office had been vandalized and Sister Tong had resigned, and she was so angry that she turned green.
She reported the incident to Ming Guoan, only to have it overheard by Old Madam Ming, who was inspecting the company.
Old Madam Ming gave Ming Wan a severe scolding, saying that Autumn Water Studio was Ming Yao’s turf, and by going there to work, she was disregarding her orders, telling her not to meddle in Autumn Water Studio’s affairs again!
Ming Wan was fuming with rage.
But no matter, once the people from Starburst Company arrived, it would be Ming Yao’s turn to be humiliated!
…
In the past few days, Ming Yao had been busy with matters at Autumn Water Studio, and since Tyrant Gu had gone on a business trip and hadn’t managed to return in time, he actually had Assistant Lu fly overnight to deliver his coat back, and Ming Yao had not suffered from insomnia.
It was tough on Assistant Lu, though, being the Chief Assistant of Gu Corporation, shuttling back and forth every day, becoming a hardworking porter.
Ming Yao thought that, after Tyrant Gu returned from the business trip, her relationship with him would warm up.
Unexpectedly, their relationship had dropped to an all-time low.
That day, just as she was about to get off work, she received a call from Aunt Zhong.
There was a sob in Aunt Zhong’s voice, “Madam, please come to the pet hospital quickly, Little Snowball is vomiting and having diarrhea, the situation is very bad—”
A ‘thud’ resounded in Ming Yao’s heart.
If there was anything in Imperial Garden that Ming Yao was deeply attached to, it was Little Snowball.
No matter how late she returned every day, Little Snowball was always enthusiastically leaping into her arms.
She could feel Little Snowball’s dependence on and affection for her.
Lately, she had been so busy with work, she only made cat food for Little Snowball every day before heading out.
She hadn’t properly spent time with him or shown care.
Thinking of his vomiting and diarrhea, Ming Yao’s heart clenched.
“I’m on my way!”
Ming Yao hurried to the pet center, and when she arrived, the man who had been away on a business trip was already there ahead of her.
He stood outside the operating room, one hand in his pocket, his handsome face tense, looking stern, with obvious worry between his sharp brows and eyes.
“Husband…” Ming Yao walked over and gently called out to the man.
The man seemed not to hear her voice, his dark eyes fixed on the tightly closed doors of the operating room, his thin lips in a tight line, silent.
Ming Yao looked at Aunt Zhong in the corner, “Aunt Zhong, how could Meatball have gotten so sick?”
“I don’t know, I fed it at noon, and it played in the back garden for a good while, then went back to the room to sleep, I was tidying the room when I smelled something awful and found it had vomited—”
About forty minutes later, the door to the operating room opened, and a doctor in a white coat came out.
“Doctor, what’s happening to Little Snowball?” Gu Siting asked, his voice low and hoarse.
Knowing Gu Siting’s concern for Little Snowball, the doctor’s face showed a trace of gravity, “Little Snowball had a miscarriage. It has a special constitution, allergic to fresh shrimp, chicken, and fish during pregnancy. Have you fed it too much of those foods recently?”
Hearing the doctor’s words, Ming Yao felt a slight tightness in her chest.
After noticing that Little Snowball had lost a lot of weight, she indeed prepared the cat food that it used to love.
And that cat food contained the foods the doctor mentioned.
These past few days, Aunt Zhong said that Little Snowball had been finishing all her cat food, so Ming Yao thought it liked it and prepared quite a lot every morning!
She never expected that it would harm Little Snowball and cause a miscarriage, nor did she notice that Little Snowball was pregnant!
Ming Yao felt a deep sense of guilt within her heart. If it weren’t for only focusing on her own matters recently and neglecting the care for Little Snowball, this would not have happened!
Gu Siting’s brows furrowed tightly, his low and husky voice unconsciously revealing a hint of tension, “How is Little Snowball now?”
“The situation is not good. Go in and see her for the last time,” said the doctor.
As the words left the doctor’s mouth, Gu Siting’s complexion drastically changed, and Ming Yao, who was usually languid and casual, also had a shift in expression.
How could this be?
“Doctor, is Meatball in danger?” Ming Yao asked, her voice trembling.
The doctor frowned and said, “Little Snowball’s vital signs are very weak. To be honest, miscarriage alone shouldn’t have endangered its life. It’s probably because Little Snowball is an older cat.”
Gu Siting and Ming Yao rushed into the operating room one after another.
Little Snowball lay on the operating table, its gem-blue eyes weakly opened. Seeing Gu Siting and Ming Yao enter, it meowed weakly twice.
As if to say: Daddy, Mommy, I’m going to leave you.
Ming Yao’s pupils contracted, and she stepped forward, wanting to hold Little Snowball, but a man’s cold large palm gripped her wrist tightly.
He glanced at her, then pushed her away.
Ming Yao was intimidated by the bone-chilling look in Gu Siting’s eyes.
Gu Siting walked to the operating table and held Little Snowball in his arms.
“You’re not allowed to die, do you hear me?”
No one knew the affection Gu Siting had for Little Snowball, whose mother had accompanied him through the darkest years of his life.
On the day Little Snowball was born, its mother died from labor complications.
Afterward, Little Snowball replaced its mother and stayed by his side.
For five or six years.
Although it was just a cat, to Gu Siting, it was like a family member.
But now, it was going to leave him!
The man, who always shed blood but never tears, now had a crimson red haze over his narrow black eyes.
Gu Siting clenched his jaw tightly, his deep and husky voice trembling, “Who let you run around, who let you get pregnant?”
As if sensing its master’s sorrow, Little Snowball’s gem-blue eyes shed a tear.
Its soft, furry paws gently lifted and climbed down Gu Siting’s tense handsome face.
As if telling him: Daddy, don’t cry. I will never run around again.
Little Snowball moved its eyes and looked over at Ming Yao.
“Meow~”
It was calling out to Ming Yao.
Ming Yao approached with a pale face. Just this morning, Meatball had still been jumping in her arms, licking her face.
Why, in just one short day, was it going to be separated from her by life and death?
Ming Yao wanted to touch Little Snowball, but before she could, Gu Siting took a step forward, holding Little Snowball in his arms.
He turned back and looked at Ming Yao with a dark expression, “Don’t touch it!”
…
With that, the update is complete. Good night, babies~
