Chapter 147 The Cat Returns 31
Zhou Mengqi stared intently at Shen Chumo, and even the maids beside her sensed something was wrong, looking at her with strange eyes.
Zhou Mengqi didn't notice that Yi Zeyu and Yi Changfan were looking at her with icy eyes.
Shen Chumo raised her head, staring directly at Zhou Mengqi. Her green eyes gleamed with a sinister light, as if she wanted to devour Zhou Mengqi.
Shen Chumo bent over and breathed on Zhou Mengqi, poised to jump onto her face and grab her. Zhou Mengqi screamed in fright and took three steps back.
Then Zhou Mengqi realized that her unusual behavior was making everyone look at her strangely.
Zhou Mengqi quickly forced a smile, "Zeyu, she's so fierce, she scared me! Are you sure this is really Momo? Or maybe she just looks a bit like her?"
Yi Zeyu curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes cold and indifferent, "What? You seem to really dislike Mo Mo coming back."
Zhou Mengqi panicked and quickly said, "How could that be? I've been so worried about Momo these past two days. Changfan, don't you think so?"
Yi Changfan looked at Zhou Mengqi with disappointment, "Mengqi, even now, you're still not telling the truth?"
While in the car, they asked Momo who had taken her out of the Yi family.
Since she had already been exposed in front of Yi Zeyu and Yi Changfan, Shen Chumo simply pulled out their phones and typed out the whole story on them.
When Yi Zeyu and Yi Changfan saw that Zhou Mengqi almost strangled Momo to death and even threw Momo into the river, their eyes were filled with anger and shock.
Yi Changfan held Shen Chumo tightly, as if comforting her from the suffering she had endured.
Yi Zeyu clenched his fist and sneered, "Zhou Mengqi, you really underestimated her."
Yi Zeyu had always harbored suspicions, believing that Zhou Mengqi was behind it all.
Therefore, he made a quick decision and hired a private investigator to thoroughly investigate Zhou Mengqi's whereabouts on that day.
Surprisingly, the investigation results were completely consistent with what Zhou Mengqi had said.
That morning, Zhou Mengqi went out early to shop, watch movies, and eat with Anna. The surveillance footage along the way clearly recorded their figures.
Afterwards, the two of them went to a high-end private beauty club, which had a special rule: surveillance equipment was not allowed to be installed in the private rooms.
Zhou Mengqi cleverly took advantage of this blind spot, quickly changed clothes and put on makeup in the private room, quietly left, went straight to the Yi family to brutally attack Mo Mo, and then returned to the private room without anyone noticing.
Since beauty treatments usually take a long time, even if Zhou Mengqi stayed in the private room for several hours, it wouldn't arouse suspicion from others.
Even more cunningly, Zhou Mengqi successfully bribed the staff at the club to fabricate a flawless lie, so much so that even when the detective came to question her, he could hardly detect any flaws.
Yi Zeyu and Yi Changfan were already preoccupied with finding Momo and couldn't settle down to investigate further, which allowed Zhou Mengqi to succeed.
Zhou Mengqi, unaware that Shen Chumo was a cat with supernatural powers, pretended to be clueless and asked, "Changfan, what are you talking about? What truth are you telling?"
Yi Changfan's disappointment deepened as he watched Zhou Mengqi continue to feign ignorance. It seemed he had never truly understood Zhou Mengqi. Did she really consider him a friend?
Yi Changfan closed his eyes, exhaled, and then opened them again, saying, "Zhou Mengqi, are you still not going to admit it?"
Yi Changfan said coldly, "That day, you tried to strangle Momo. Momo fainted, and you put her in your bag, took a taxi to the outskirts, and threw Momo into the river. If Momo hadn't been able to swim, she would have drowned!"
Zhou Mengqi's eyes widened, her face turned deathly pale, and she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
How could that be? How could Yi Changfan know so much? Where exactly did things go wrong?
The servants present all looked at Zhou Mengqi with disdain, never expecting that this person would be so heartless as to harm Mo Mo!
Yi Zeyu stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Mengqi's chin, and said fiercely, "Who gave you the guts to touch my cat!"
Zhou Mengqi looked at Yi Zeyu in horror, tears welling up in her eyes instantly.
With difficulty, he managed to utter, "Zeyu... I was wrong, I... I was just confused for a moment, please forgive me."
Yi Zeyu disgustedly shoved her chin away, and Zhou Mengqi staggered and fell to the ground. "Forgive you? You almost killed Momo, how could I forgive you?"
Zhou Mengqi sat on the ground and shouted, "Zeyu, I'm your girlfriend! She's just a cat! How can you treat me like this for a cat?"
Yi Zeyu's eyes were icy cold. "In my heart, Momo is more than just a cat; she's family. And you..." Yi Zeyu sneered, "You really think you're my girlfriend? You're not worthy! Don't forget this is just a transaction."
"The transaction is now void."
Yi Changfan frowned. A deal... So Zhou Mengqi really isn't Ze Yu's girlfriend? What's going on? The servants were also shocked.
Zhou Mengqi cried, "Zeyu, no." She hugged Yi Zeyu's leg, "I was just too jealous of her. Why is it that she, a cat, can receive so much love from you all, while I have worked so hard for so long but still can't win your heart? I know I was wrong, please give me another chance."
Yi Zeyu kicked her hand away in disgust. "What right do you have to be jealous of Momo? You shouldn't have had any unrealistic fantasies from the very beginning."
There was only a transaction between us, no feelings involved. Now that the transaction is over, you'd better move out of the Yi family immediately.
Zhou Mengqi's mother went to another home with Mrs. Yi in her early years, but Zhou Mengqi has always stayed in the Yi family and refused to leave.
Seeing Yi Zeyu's resolute attitude, Zhou Mengqi looked at Yi Changfan with a pleading expression.
"Changfan, please help me. Aren't we friends? I really love Zeyu, and I can't live without him."
Looking at Zhou Mengqi's appearance, Yi Changfan sighed. He never knew that Zhou Mengqi was this kind of person.
He looked down at Zhou Mengqi, his eyes filled with indifference. "Zhou Mengqi, do you really consider me a friend? If you did, you would know how much I care about Momo, and you wouldn't have done something so cruel."
These past two days, Yi Zeyu and I have almost exhausted ourselves searching for Momo.
And you, watching from the sidelines, did you feel even a shred of guilt? Now that the truth has been revealed, you say you know you were wrong. Do you genuinely feel you were wrong, or are you just saying this to evade responsibility? You know the answer in your heart.
Zhou Mengqi looked at Yi Changfan in despair, knowing that she had lost her last hope.
She shook her head and said, "No, that's not it, Changfan. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time."
She knew Yi Zeyu's methods; once she left the Yi family, she would definitely face severe revenge from him.
Yi Zeyu impatiently called over two bodyguards and ordered them to throw Zhou Mengqi out.
The bodyguards immediately pulled Zhou Mengqi up, each holding one of her arms, and dragged her away.
Zhou Mengqi shouted, "Let me go! Let me go! I don't want to leave! This is my home!"
