Pet King
chapter-320

Though Jin Er was sighing, he didn’t look upset. His expression was more like exhaustion after euphoric excitement. His face right now was like that of a Shiba Inu that had just had mating behaviors.

Snowy didn’t have a driving license, so she didn't understand how the penalty system worked; she just knew that Jin Er couldn't drive for a while.

"Uncle Jin, did you run a red light?" she asked confusingly.

Jin Er’s thoughts were wandering far away, "Run a red light? No way, I have never run red lights in my life, I just...I just drove a little bit faster. Yes, just like that."

"Oh." Snowy knew what speeding was, and she expostulated with him, "Uncle Jin, speeding is very dangerous. Even if you didn’t hit humans, what if you crash with other things..."

"No, I drove fast for a reason, unlike those stupid young people speeding just for fun." Jin Er justified himself, "I was saving a life."

"Saving a life? Were you sending a critically ill patient or an expectant mother to the hospital?" Snowy couldn’t help but show respect for him. "Uncle Jin, you are such a good person! If my dad says anything bad about you, I will definitely bring this up to him!"

Jin Er waved his hands in panic and said awkwardly, "Please don't! I can't afford to provoke your father... Besides, I didn't do that to save a human's life, and if he also knows that, he will laugh his head off!"

Snowy was more confused. Her eyes were attracted to the Elizabeth Collar on the Husky’s neck, and one horrible thought sprung up. She asked hesitantly, "So you were speeding to save your dog's life?"

"Not exactly. Good-for-Nothing is a tough buddy. It will be fine as long as it doesn’t get itself into trouble, but it did have something to do with my speeding. Good-for-Nothing, come, shake hands." Jin Er commanded it.

Good-for-Nothing stretched out its forepaws, almost rubbing on Jin Er's face. Luckily, Jin Er had a quick response and turned away his face in time, otherwise scratches would have been left on his face.

Snowy saw that one of Good-for-Nothing’s forepaws was covered with thick bandages, but it seemed that its movement was not affected.

"Did it hurt its leg?"

Jin Er put Good-for-Nothing’s forepaws back into the car, "A small injury. Fissure fracture. It has recovered. Today I'm going to take it to the clinic to take off the bandages and return this sunflower collar... Good-for-Nothing wasn't the one that almost died, but a talking parrot in a pet shop."

Snowy blinked her eyes.

Before she could ask a question, Jin Er continued, "The pet shop where you bought your cat, the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, I went there a few days ago... but didn't go in."

Snowy suddenly had interest in this. As a network anchor, her instincts told her that this could be a very interesting topic. She couldn’t let go of this chance, and she hastened to ask, "Uncle Jin, can you be more specific? What happened exactly that evening? And what about that talking parrot?"

Jin Er drudged up a smile, "It's a very long story, and I only know parts of it. Look at you, are you going somewhere? Or are you just walking around in this neighborhood?"

She nodded, "I’m going to a second-hand store."

"A second-hand store?" Jin Er was surprised. Had her father, Jiang Qianda, gone bankrupt or had cash flow become tense? He hadn’t heard anyone talk about such a big news. If her father didn’t run into any difficulties, why would Snowy visit a second-hand store?

Snowy explained, "It's not an ordinary second-hand store. Well, it's a distinctive store, where the items are rarely seen in daily life. Some of them are out-of-print or not available in the market anymore."

Now it made sense to Jin Er, "Is it kind of like an antique store?"

"Probably." Snowy was not sure.

The information about the second-hand store was provided by the netizens. The items in the store were not strictly antiquated — some were out-of-print, some were products used by deceased celebrities—which was the reason she didn't want to go there. She didn't want to bring things once used by dead people to her home. If her mother knew where these came from, she would definitely throw them out!

"Oh. Come in then, I’ll give you a ride, and we can talk on our way there. It's quite embarrassing that you’re standing outside in this cold weather while I’m sitting in the car. Your dad will kill me if he sees me..." Jin Er guiltily extended his head to look around. Lucky for him, Snowy’s fierce father was not around.

The driver got out of the car, pulled open the car door on the other side for Snowy, and invited her to get in.

Snow didn't hesitate. She bent over and went into the car.

Inside the spacious limousine, the air conditioning was on heating mode. Snowy breathed out the chilliness, and took off her gloves and plush hat.

Jin Er asked Snowy about the location of the second-hand store, and told the driver to go to her destination first.

On their way there, from his point of view, he briefly narrated what happened that night. It was partly was what he had been through, and partly what he heard from Long Xian.

Snowy was so intrigued by the talking parrot that she interrupted Jin Er several times during his bragging about his amazing racing experience that night. Jin Er was really upset — after all, he was talking about the experience that cost him 12 points on his driving license. Besides, he hadn't seen that parrot for himself, so he couldn't provide much information to Snowy.

The only thing Jin Er was certain about was that the parrot was really precious, so precious that everyone in the pet shop and the pet clinic engaged in saving its life. Even himself as an outsider was willing to take part in the course to fight for its life against the pressing time.

While occasionally paying attention to Jin Er’s legendary story about how he went straight through 16 green lights in one evening, Snowy pulled out her phone, accessed the Weibo app, and posted a Weibo.

"Hello everyone, this is Snowy. Let me tell you something interesting! I just heard that there is an amazing talking parrot in the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, and it can speak a lot of words. Guys, how about I go there to host a live broadcast featuring the parrot?"

Soon her die-hard fans replied.

"The pet shop of that swindler... To be honest, I’d rather you not go there. It’s not safe for you with that person around. But I also want to watch your live broadcast! I'm struggling."

"Talking parrot... My parrot can talk, too! Snowy, you want to come to my place for a live broadcast? I will pay for everything! Meals, lodging, transportation..."

"Excuse me?! Bro on the above comment, you win!"

"You should go there, Snowy. I heard that pet shop has finished renovation. You can go to see how it's decorated. As long as you bring an anti-pervert electric shock machine or pepper spray with you, you will be fine."

"I’m a new fan, who is this swindler store manager you talked about? You guys seem to know him very well?"

"None of your business, you just need to remember that person's full name is 'Pervert-Pretentious-Swindler Store Manager.' "

"Agreed to the above comment."

...

Snowy kept refreshing the webpage and was amused by the increasing comments.

Though most of her die-hard fans hated Zhang Zian and cursed at him, they also hoped Snowy could go there to host a live broadcast. They knew that the pet shop had cats that could walk in figure eights, so they were very curious about this "amazing" talking parrot as described by Snowy. As for the new fans, they were a little bit perplexed, wondering who the hell this store manager was that was popular yet was hated by the netizens at the same time...
