Chapter 89: Chapter 89: The Cat Disapproves of This Marriage
Hearing Renee Jennings, Sylvia Brooks posted a bullet comment.
[Don’t worry about the expense. I’m willing to tip you any amount.]
Her words instantly sent the chat into a frenzy.
[Ahhh! What’s the deal with The Rich Lady and the streamer? Am I reading too much into this? It feels a little romantic!]
[Whoa, I kind of ship it?]
Meanwhile, Michelle Fuller, who had been the first to rush into the livestream, saw this and felt a sudden sense of alarm.
’Is this Sylvia Brooks trying to steal Renee from me?’
With that thought, Michelle Fuller also tipped Renee Jennings ten "Romantic Fireworks."
[Whoa, another Rich Lady!]
[Does this streamer only attract rich ladies?]
[And all the rich ladies are gorgeous!]
Renee Jennings saw the audience’s comments and said with a laugh, "No need for all the guesswork, everyone. They’re both my friends."
[Friends in real life?]
[So does that mean the streamer is a rich lady, too? Beautiful and rich... I’m so jealous!]
Renee Jennings didn’t continue the conversation. She glanced at the viewer count in the top-right corner and was stunned.
’Five thousand people already?’
The number was still climbing.
In the blink of an eye, another thousand people had joined.
She pressed her lips together, suddenly feeling a little nervous.
[HOLY SHIT, THE ZENVIA POLICE ARE WATCHING TOO???]
[The streamer’s already got the attention of the authorities!]
[This streamer is badass!!!]
Seeing these comments, Renee Jennings grew even more nervous.
’She was just an ordinary person.’
’If she hadn’t suddenly awakened, she would still be living that muddled life of sleeping all day, clubbing all night, and scamming rich kids to support a scumbag boyfriend.’
Renee Jennings took a deep breath to compose herself.
After a few seconds, a faint smile graced her lips as she spoke in a calm, measured voice, "Since I started early today, I can take three calls. Let’s connect with our first pet owner now."
The first person to connect had the username "TaroSweet."
A girl with blunt bangs, delicate makeup, and a sweet face appeared on the split screen.
"Oh, it connected! I’m on!" TaroSweet exclaimed, her face a picture of surprise and excitement. "You’re so beautiful, Streamer! I’m a huge fan!"
Renee Jennings looked at the sweet-faced girl on the screen, raising an eyebrow. "Thank you," she said with a warm smile. "You’re very cute yourself."
TaroSweet grew even more flustered with excitement.
Renee Jennings chuckled softly, getting straight to the point. "TaroSweet, do you have a pet?"
"I do!" TaroSweet moved out of frame and reappeared a moment later with a pure white Maine Coon in her arms.
[What a gorgeous cat!]
[So pretty!]
[This breed always looks so regal and unapproachable~]
Renee Jennings agreed that the fur baby was a looker. "What’s your little one’s name?"
TaroSweet’s eyes crinkled. "Her name is Tata, and she’s a girl. But she’s been acting so strangely lately. Every time my boyfriend comes over, she gets really aggressive."
"Alright, let me ask her for you." Renee Jennings nodded, her eyes fixed on the Maine Coon. "Hello, Tata. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Tata stared at Renee Jennings on the tablet with its misty-blue eyes, remaining silent.
Hearing that TaroSweet had a boyfriend, the viewers in the chat expressed their disappointment.
[Aww, a girl this cute is already taken!]
[Is her boyfriend hot? If not, I don’t approve!]
TaroSweet saw the comments and a sweet smile spread across her face. "My boyfriend is very handsome, and he’s going to be my fiancé soon! In fact, I’m on my way to meet his parents right after this."
Just as Renee Jennings was about to congratulate her, she heard Tata let out a sharp cry.
"No! I forbid it! Sweetie, I forbid you from being with that scoundrel!"
TaroSweet rubbed Tata’s head, her tone helpless. "Tata, why are you throwing a fit again?"
A flicker of confusion crossed Renee Jennings’s delicate features. "Why do you forbid it?"
TaroSweet froze, asking in confusion, "Forbid what?"
"One moment," Renee Jennings said, nodding to her. "I need to talk to Tata for a second."
TaroSweet blinked and murmured, "Huh? Did Tata just say something?"
Tata stared at Renee Jennings, its pupils wide as saucers. "Mrow? You can understand me?"
Renee Jennings said, "Yes. Why do you say he’s a scoundrel?"
[Huh? Who is he?]
[Who’s a scoundrel?]
[Streamer, explain!]
Tata immediately pressed its little head against the screen, meowing excitedly. "This is wonderful!"
Renee Jennings said nothing, waiting quietly for the cat to continue.
Tata said, "Streamer, since you can understand me, you have to help me! Tell Sweetie she can’t go meet that rotten scoundrel’s parents today, and she can’t be with him!"
"What’s the matter?" Renee Jennings asked, looking at its fluffy face. "Can you tell me why?"
TaroSweet couldn’t help but ask, "Streamer, what did Tata say?"
Renee Jennings hesitated for a few seconds before relaying the message truthfully. "Tata wants me to tell you that you can’t go meet the parents, and that you need to break up with your boyfriend."
[What? The cat objects to the marriage?]
[This is hilarious!]
[Don’t tell me the cat discovered some kind of secret?]
Hearing this, TaroSweet frowned, her expression darkening with displeasure. "How is that possible? Are you just making things up, Streamer?"
’She was starting to regret saying she was going to meet his parents today.’
’She had really liked Renee Jennings before, but hearing those words, her good impression vanished instantly.’
Hearing her, Tata tilted its head back and cried out, "Sweetie, you’re being foolish! That scoundrel is going to hurt you!"
"Is your boyfriend at your house right now?" Renee Jennings asked.
TaroSweet’s face hardened. "He’s not. Stop making things up, Streamer. My boyfriend and I have a wonderful relationship. He treats me very well."
Seeing her reaction, Renee Jennings said calmly, "Don’t misunderstand. I’m just relaying what Tata is saying."
"Impossible!" TaroSweet’s tone was firm as steel. "Tata would never say something like that!"
A small smile played on Renee Jennings’s lips. "Didn’t you just say that Tata has been getting aggressive every time your boyfriend visits lately?"
TaroSweet’s brow furrowed. "But my boyfriend is a genuinely good person."
Renee Jennings said, "Don’t get upset. Let me ask Tata first."
[TaroSweet, don’t be so quick to deny it! Let the streamer find out what’s going on!]
[Maybe Tata discovered one of TaroSweet’s boyfriend’s secrets?]
TaroSweet suddenly felt her heart sink. Seeing the viewers’ comments, she pursed her lips. "Fine."
"Tata," Renee Jennings said softly, "you still haven’t told me the reason. Why can’t Sweetie go meet his parents?"
When TaroSweet heard Renee Jennings say the name "Sweetie," her eyelashes trembled and a look of disbelief filled her eyes.
’How does the streamer know my nickname is Sweetie?!’
’Can she really understand what Tata is saying?’
Tata’s small, fluffy face became incredibly serious. "Because he wants to hurt Sweetie! Streamer, you have to save Sweetie! I’m begging you!"
Renee Jennings’s eyes narrowed, her tone growing heavy. "How do you know?"
