"Ying——"
Ansheng, adorned with gold and silver, lifted his paw, patting the cover over the dishes on the dining table, raised his head confidently, and slowly extended his front paw adorned with a gold bracelet.
"Ah Qing... what's the deal with the one across?" Yu Xueqing's father Yu Zhenghong saw the white fox brazenly causing chaos at home, momentarily struck by the fox's sense of wealth and pride.
"He... he said he's hungry and wants to eat now."
Recovering from her initial shock, Yu Xueqing quickly spoke up to translate for her father: "He said he smelled the aroma of our food and wants to dine here."
While explaining to her father, Yu Xueqing glanced at the now unfamiliar Xiaolan, but recalling her father's presence, she suppressed her curiosity.
"This Master Fox... seems to have become enlightened," Yu Zhenghong said gravely, protecting his wife and daughter behind him, after careful contemplation.
He didn't question or express confusion over his daughter's translation.
Because Yu Zhenghong knew, from a young age, his daughter could play with various poultry, even chat with fierce dogs and lion-headed geese.
Ah Qing had a knack for dealing with animals.
Yu Zhenghong trusted his daughter's translation but felt somewhat uneasy facing the unexpected Master Fox visiting their home.
The Master Fox in front of him... was too luxurious, carrying a sense of pride when facing him.
Its humanized slanted eyes seemed to convey reproach as it slowly hummed, "Having a feast without inviting me?"
Ansheng, dressed up to the nines, utterly confused Yu Zhenghong.
"So... is Master Fox dining?" Though Yu Xueqing didn't understand the changes in Ansheng, she ran into the dining room and lifted the cover off the dishes, revealing the food inside.
Yu Xueqing's mom also curiously approached to scrutinize the fox visiting through the window.
"Ying——"
Ansheng, full of smugness, showed off his new clothes to Yu Xueqing.
'Master~ I just went to find Lai Foo to play, as soon as I reached the entrance an auntie pinned me down, huffing and puffing...'
Suddenly, fox language and machine translation sounded in Yu Xueqing's ear, leaving her stunned.
What the heck? Her Xiaolan was pinned to the ground huffing by an unfamiliar auntie when he went out?
What's with the huffing here...?
"Honey..."
Yu Xueqing's mom, Chen Peipei, raised her hand and, after touching the Chanel-branded leather jacket on the little fox, quickly called her husband over:
"Honey... come quickly, the luxury items on Master Fox seem genuine. That leather jacket looks like it's been cut from a Chanel handbag and stitched by hand..."
"There are still threads on the edges of the leather jacket."
While Yu Xueqing fed the fox, Chen Peipei began to study the luxury items on the fox.
Chen Peipei was quite knowledgeable about luxury brands, especially designer and limited-edition pieces.
Due to her empty pockets and reluctance to buy, she frequently browsed online to satisfy cravings, becoming well-versed in luxury goods.
Chen Peipei called her husband over, opened the image recognition app on her phone, and scanned the jacket on the fox, which instantly brought up a similar leather-wrapped handbag.
[Diamond-patterned drawstring glossy calfskin: 40,000]
Yu Zhenghong & Chen Peipei: "......"
Their pupils dramatically shrank, Chen Peipei stared blankly at her husband, then pointed the image recognition software at the orange collar on the fox's neck.
Ansheng's collar had a small decorative gold lock on the front and a watch attached to the side.
The software scanned the gold lock, instantly bringing up a similar item on the phone.
An orange leather bag appeared with a price that made the couple's eyes twitch.
[Grain leather Kelly bag: 172,000.]
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Yu Zhenghong exclaimed in shock, took out his phone, opened the object recognition feature, and started ranting:
"What kind of family would let their pet wear luxury worth as much as a mid-range car? Isn't this absurd?"
"Beep——"
The phone screen displayed a purchase page.
[Second-hand 'moon phase' watch, like new: 4 million]
[First purchase discount of 188, 50,000 save 3,000]
[Explosive price: 3,996,812]
"......" Yu Zhenghong, dumbfounded, handed his phone to his wife, dazed.
What kind of magical watch, can it extend life? The second-hand price was actually 4 million.
Do I seem like someone who lacks a 3,000 coupon?
And even above the market price! Is this reasonable?
Chen Peipei took a glance, backed up to sit next to the dining cabinet, panting heavily, her face pale.
"It... it... it really is Master Fox!"
Yu Zhenghong, dumbfounded, muttered to ease his shock.
Right now, it's not just Master Fox,
If time rolled back a hundred years, claiming this white fox ranked among royalty would not be unbelievable.
With such attire, it could buy two houses, Yu Zhenghong dared not imagine how many properties it owned.
He feared if he continued thinking, he might end up removing the pet collar from Master Fox's neck and tidily placing it on his own, murmuring as he replaced the white fox to endure the affluent hardships.
"Ah Qing..."
Regaining her senses, Chen Peipei quickly looked at Yu Xueqing, whispered softly to seem gentle:
"Now... carefully stand up, don't disturb Master Fox."
"The items on it are a bit pricey, by the way, if possible, remove its jacket to prevent oil stains from the food from reaching the leather."
The extravagant Ansheng directly shattered the worldview of Yu Xueqing's parents.
Or if Ansheng knew his outfit was roughly worth five million, he would be dumbfounded.
Lin Ying was in a mental state where she wasn't interested in anything, including basic survival needs.
Ansheng asked to borrow luxury items to flaunt, Lin Ying directly let him use all the branded goods.
She didn't care whether the items would return, given her state, another deceit didn't matter.
Moreover, disinterested Lin Ying found some intrigue in Ansheng's borrowing of luxury goods.
What's the matter that made a fox run to her house, asking to borrow luxury items to flaunt?
"Mom? What's wrong."
Feeding the fox, Yu Xueqing was called aside by her mom, Chen Peipei, while Yu Zhenghong tiptoed around the fox to reach his wife and daughter.
That fox... is it indeed a fox?
If you say it's a reincarnated deity, Yu Zhenghong would now believe, even burning two bundles of incense.
"You say... that fox, could it have come from the Lin Family." Chen Peipei gathered the family around, proposing a bold assumption.
The fox was excessively wealthy, to the extent Chen Peipei couldn't fathom anyone daring to raise a fox like this.
The only thought that came to her mind was possibly the Lin Family.
"If you ask me... report it to the authorities!" Yu Zhenghong suggested shaking his head: "It's involved with too much money."
The moment Yu Zhenghong uttered these words.
Yu Xueqing and Ansheng were equally startled.
"No, why aren't you following the usual plan!" Ansheng quickly protested: "We're dressed so luxuriously."
"Shouldn't you consider keeping me here temporarily and then announcing a lost pet claim to earn a holding fee, feeding fee, and finding bonus?"
"Old Deng, aren't you playing fair!"
If things went by the normal procedure, Yu Zhenghong would likely maximize benefits as Ansheng envisioned.
But the problem was Ansheng was too luxurious, his valuables so precious that Yu Zhenghong dared not let him stay at home.
Currently in Yu Zhenghong's eyes, Ansheng is equated with a life sentence.
"Report it to the authorities!" Yu Zhenghong insisted.
"Ying Ying Ying——"
