The Stray Cat Was Raised By The Boss Chapter 8
byChapter 8 Chapter 8 The top killer lost his weapon.…
Wu Xue finished breakfast and sat on the carpet to clean her hair.He is a long-haired cat, with soft and long fur, as fluffy as a dandelion.The long cat hair hooks the barbs on the tongue, making the task of licking fur extremely difficult.
There was the sound of human footsteps behind him, and the cat that was licking its fur raised its head with curious eyes.
The man knelt down and stretched out his right hand towards him.
Wu Xue thought that the person was going to help him trim his hair, but she didn’t expect that the person suddenly grabbed his paw, pressed it on the flesh pad, and took out a terrible tool with the other hand to cut his nails.
“Meow meow meow!!!” The kitten struggled wildly, but Keren still didn’t let go.The cat was so anxious that it scratched the back of the man’s hand and finally escaped smoothly.
Half an hour later, the housekeeper saw the injured back of Gu Sichen’s hand in the garage and was stunned: “What’s wrong with your hand?”
Gu Sichen: “Caught by a cat.”
Before attending grandma’s birthday party, they went to the hospital to get rabies shots.Not wanting to worry the old man, Gu Sichen put on a pair of black sheepskin gloves.The thin gloves stuck to the skin, and paired with the meticulous dress and suit he wore, there was an aura of abstinence.
Grandma Gu Sichen believes in Buddhism and practices in Buddhist temples all year round. As in previous years, her birthday party was arranged at a vegetarian restaurant next to the Buddhist temple.
Gu Ting’an came here early. While staying in the temple, eating fast and chanting Buddha’s name, he was holding a tablet and creating yellow pictures of monks. He didn’t know if he would be struck by lightning.
Grandma has withdrawn from social occasions. Only the closest family members attended the birthday party. Everyone ate vegetarian food together and went back to take a lunch break with grandma.
The old man’s nap was not long, so Gu Sichen did not leave immediately, intending to stay with the old man for a while longer.
Bored, Gu Ting’an pointed to the main hall in front of him: “Brother, I remember that you have been very unlucky recently, why don’t you go and say goodbye?”
“No need.”
“Then can you go with me?”
“Okay.”
The Buddhist temple is built on the mountain, with a huge gap. There are long steps between each palace.
Gu Ting’an was out of breath after climbing to the main hall. They first worshiped Buddha in the main hall, and then went to the Guanyin Hall higher up to ask for fortune.
“Whoosh whoosh-”
A sign fell out of the tube.
When he opened it and signed it, Gu Ting’an’s face darkened.
Perhaps because his face was too dark, the young monk next to the lottery tube said: “Donor, you can try again.”
Gu Ting’an:?Can it still be like this?
He shook it again and signed.
Shake again and win the lottery.
Keep shaking and sign.
Worrying too much was not enough, Gu Tingan did not continue, exchanged the signature and left the hall.
Gu Sichen did not draw lots this time, but when he came with his grandma in the afternoon, he made an exception at the old man’s suggestion.
He doesn’t believe in this, so since he doesn’t believe it, there’s no harm in giving it a try.
Gu Sichen shook the lottery tube and signed.
Keep shaking and sign.
Shake again, and still draw.
Draw 3 lots in a row, sign one and then another.
Gu Sichen calmly put down the prayer bucket and did not continue.
Grandma and Gu Ting’an looked grave.
The young monk was a little embarrassed and said, “How about you try again?”
Gu Sichen had originally put it down, but amidst everyone’s expectations, he picked up the lottery tube and continued to shake it——
It’s better to sign.
This time no one dared to let Gu Sichen continue. Gu Sichen left the signature and turned to leave.
The monk picked up the lottery tube and muttered in a low voice: “It’s strange, how come someone draws the lottery four times in a row?”
“Why did you sign the lot?” A middle-aged monk came out.
“Master Zhenchang.” The young monk responded and told what happened just now.
Master Zhenchang poured out the lots, and the bucket was full of lots.
Monk: “…”
“Sin, sin,” a monk next to him lowered his head and said, “I saw that the pilgrims were not very lucky in drawing lots these days, so I picked out all the lots and took them away. I didn’t expect that they were placed here again by mistake.”
“…”
“Amitabha, I hope this pilgrim will not take it to heart.”
When going down the mountain, Gu Ting’an regretted his previous encouragement and smiled awkwardly: “Feudal superstition cannot be trusted.”
Grandma looked solemn and asked, “Have you encountered anything recently?”
“No,” Gu Sichen said, “Grandma, don’t worry, I have bodyguards when I come in and out, nothing will happen to me.”
“The benefactor may face great calamity in his lifetime.” Suddenly, a middle-aged monk with an elegant appearance said.
Gu Sichen: “…”
Grandma didn’t recognize this monk, but most of the monks in the temple were highly skilled in spiritual practice. Judging from his demeanor, he was probably a mage.
She asked nervously: “Does the mage have a way to solve it?”
Gu Ting’an knew this trick so well that he tried to ask: “Can it be broken by offering incense?”
But the monk shook his head, looked into Gu Sichen’s eyes and said, “Misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings depend on disasters. Everything depends on the benefactor’s fortune.”
After saying that, the monk took off the rosary beads in his hand and handed them to Gu Sichen.
Gu Sichen felt confused, but grandma took it for him and said gratefully: “Thank you, Master, for your guidance.”
Grandma brought the rosary beads to Gu Sichen’s wrist.
Gu Ting’an: “Brother, you look like a Buddhist disciple in Beijing now.”
Gu Sichen was confused: “I don’t want to become a monk.”
Grandma: “That’s right, if you are a Buddhist disciple from the Beijing area, even if you want to be a Buddhist disciple, you will still be a local Buddhist disciple.”
Old people like you can’t tell. Gu Ting’an turned around and asked the master: “Master, what about me? Can I see anything?”
Monk: “Be bitter first and then sweet, then you can enjoy the blessings later.”
Gu Ting’an didn’t really believe this, but he was happy after receiving blessings, so he smiled and said thank you.
Gu Guangyao followed him out of nowhere and asked, “Master, what about me?”
Monk: “When you go astray, you break and then you build.”
Gu Guangyao: “…”
Why is he going astray!
After everyone left, grandma continued back to the temple to continue her homework.In the evening, she met the young monk who drew lots in the dining hall. She took the initiative to mention that her relative received advice from a monk today, described the person’s appearance, and asked the young monk for his Buddhist name.
The latter looked puzzled, but told her that there was no monk with such appearance in the temple.

At No. 1 Gumao, Wu Xue was still guarding the territory dutifully while Gu Sichen was away.
He bravely fought against evil blackbirds, caught elusive dark flying insects, and trained his catching and hunting skills on a leather sofa.He began to feel tired, so he lay down next to the sunny window and went to sleep, scratching the annoying curtains to pieces.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Wu Xue raised her head warily and hid quietly behind the shoe cabinet.
The door opened and the butler came in with several strangers.Because she recognized the housekeeper, Wu Xue temporarily relaxed her vigilance, but she still kept her ears open and always kept her responsibilities in mind.
The housekeeper directed these people to install cat climbing frames and scratching posts in many places indoors, and filled the home worth hundreds of millions with cheap hemp rope and corrugated paper.
Wu Xue said “Ouch” and dove into the pile of junk, happily sharpening her claws with the corrugated paper.
When Wu Xue dyed everything in the territory, including the housekeeper, with her scent, Gu Sichen finally returned home.
Wu Xue still remembered that someone bullied him in the morning and did not go over immediately.
Gu Sichen stood in the entrance hall wearing a tall suit, casually took off his sheepskin gloves, and shouted: “Wuwu, come here.”
Mao Mao pointed his butt at the person disdainfully, and the next moment his neck suddenly tightened, and Gu Sichen lifted him to the sofa.
Gu Sichen’s palms were wide enough to catch a disobedient kitten with one hand. The pink cat paw prints could be clearly seen on the back of the hand wearing the Buddhist beads.The wound was slightly red and swollen after being covered for a whole day, and there was a slight itching.
Gu Sichen freed up one hand to grab the restless cat’s paw and continued to cut the cat’s nails.
“Ahhh! No cutting!!” Wu Xue shouted, “You can’t take away my weapon! I want to protect you! I am the strongest fighter in this family!!”
The kitten’s body was stiff, its claws were flying everywhere, and it grabbed something and pulled hard——
There was a crackle and the beads were scattered all over the floor.
Gu Sichen: “…”
It turns out that you are my disaster.
The kitten was attracted by the ball, its eyes widened, and it tried to run after the ball with all its strength.
But Gu Sichen was so hard-hearted that no matter how much the cat resisted, he never let go. He and the housekeeper worked together to cruelly cut off every nail of Wu Xue.
By the time the last nail was cut, the kitten had lost all means of resistance and lay whimpering in the arms of the human in despair.
“Okay.”
Gu Sichen finally let go of Wu Xue.
The kitten lay on the sofa angrily, with tears in his eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Woohoo, his nails were cut, the top killer lost his most precious weapon, let him die!!
It was just a nail clipping. Gu Sichen didn’t think it was anything at first, but when he saw the pitiful expression on the kitten, he felt a rare sense of guilt, as if he had committed some unforgivable crime.
He took out the cat’s favorite snack, dried fish, and called in a coaxing tone: “Wuwu.”
The kitten ignored him.
Gu Sichen shouted again: “Cat Cat.”
The kitten still ignored it.
Gu Sichen’s voice became softer: “Baby.”
The housekeeper looked shocked. He had known that he had been studying housekeeping with his father at Gu Zhai since he was 10 years old. Later, he went to school with Gu Sichen and almost grew up with Gu Sichen.In the past few years, he had never seen Gu Sichen speak to anyone in such a gentle tone.
But the kitten didn’t appreciate it. The kitten bit Gu Sichen’s finger, leaving two teeth marks on it. Then it immediately rushed over and hugged the scratching post, attacking with its nails that were no longer sharp.
Damn it!How dare you treat him like this!From today on, cats will never like people again!
“Whoosh whoosh-”
“Ouch-ouch——”
Under the attack of the kitten, the scratching board instantly became a mess.
Gu Sichen didn’t dare to come any closer, so he had to put down the dried fish and pretend to walk away.However, after he left, the cow cat swooped out, nimbly ran away with the dried fish in its mouth, and climbed to the top of the cat climbing frame to eat.
The kitten ate the dried fish but still did not forgive the human.
The cat-people cold war has officially begun.
At first, Gu Sichen didn’t notice the coldness of the kitten. He thought Wuwu would be fine if he ate the dried fish.
It wasn’t until he saw no shortage of cat food the next day that he felt something was wrong.But he had a full schedule today, so he asked the housekeeper to go upstairs to take care of him and went out.
At noon, Gu Sichen received the news that Wuwu still hadn’t eaten.When he came home at night, he saw Wuwu lying softly in the corner. He didn’t respond when he called his name, and he wouldn’t eat the food he put to his mouth.
Gu Sichen took the cat for a check-up, but the doctor said that all the indicators of the cat were healthy. It might just be that the cat was in a strange environment and was not in good spirits.
Gu Sichen frowned: “But it wasn’t like this when it first came. It pestered me the first day it came and even licked my fur.”
Doctor: “My suggestion is to continue to observe. If you don’t eat anything tomorrow, you can consider feeding a little glucose.”
Gu Sichen still felt something was wrong, and added, “It was because I trimmed its nails that it stopped eating and drinking. I checked on the Internet and found that the cat might be suffering from depression.”
Doctor: “…”
Everyone knows that when people are sick, they can’t seek medical treatment on Baidu. How can it be cured if they switch to pets?
But there was a super big customer opposite, and Dr. Xiaoqi explained with a good attitude: “This is also normal. Wuwu is an adopted stray cat. Stray cats hunt with their nails and compete for territory. They may not be able to adapt to having their nails cut suddenly. You can play with Wuwu more when you have time. Although cats are relatively independent, they are still very attached to people and need some companionship.”
After returning from the pet hospital, Wuwu still had no energy. When sleeping, Gu Sichen left a gap for the first time and allowed the kitten to enter the bedroom.
In Gu Sichen’s imagination, the cat would come to the bed and sleep with him after he opened the door.Unfortunately, Wu Wu was just hiding in the corner. When Gu Sichen walked over, Wu Wu quickly ran into the living room.
“…”
He felt like an old father who was at odds with his children. He clearly wanted to repair the relationship but didn’t know what to do.
Gu Sichen didn’t sleep well at night. When he got up the next day, he saw that there was still no movement in the cat food.Wuwu lay limply in the corner, looking like he was breathing more out than in.
Gu Sichen consulted the doctor again, and the doctor asked him to give him some glucose.Gu Sichen unskillfully opened the syringe feeder, sterilized it, added water, opened the kitten’s mouth, and fed the glucose bit by bit.
Wu Wu struggled fiercely, but he ate everything he needed to eat.
Gu Sichen returned to the bedroom and changed out of his suit that was covered in cat hair.An important client came to the company today, and he couldn’t go there wearing cat hair.
After Wuwu was adopted, the housekeeper would prepare at least three alternative suits for him every day, so that even if his clothes were scratched or stained with cat hair, he wouldn’t be too embarrassed.
Gu Sichen changed into a clean suit and put his briefcase on the entrance cabinet.Usually at this time, Wu Wu would come over and meow around him, wanting to go out and play with him.But today the kitten was quietly dormant in the corner, not looking over here.
It saved him trouble, so Gu Sichen opened the door and turned around and left without hesitation.
“Bang——”
The security door was closed, and Wu Wu was the only one left in the huge living room.
The kitten poked his head out of the corner, feeling a little aggrieved.
How could a person be so hard-hearted and callous, yet he left without even coaxing him.
Forget it, he doesn’t really want to be coaxed. He is a mature kitten and needs to digest his emotions on his own.
Just as Wu Xueyang thought this, the door was suddenly pushed open. Gu Sichen left and came back, panting and saying, “Wu Wu, do you want to come with me today?”
Go together?
The kitten pricked up its ears curiously.
Wu Xue has fallen into a depressed mood since her nails were cut off.A cat without claws can no longer defend its territory, and a cat that cannot defend its territory is useless.He is not a good cat and his people don’t want him anymore.
But why do you want to take him with you when you go out today?
Wu Xue stood up straight and looked at the person in front of him curiously.
Gu Sichen stretched out his right hand and invited slowly: “Wu Wu, do you want to go out with me?”
The kitten tilted its head with a puzzled expression.From the invitation, he vaguely sensed that the other party did not completely dislike him.Even though his nails have been cut, he can still be a useful little kitten.
Although Wu Xue was still a little unhappy, in the end, the kitten showed mercy and got into Gu Sichen’s handbag.
