Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star-Chapter 13: Buying Cat Food Again

Hi. We’re back from a long hiatus.

No, we did not drop this translation. Multiple of our translators had become really ill (and allergic), so we had to take a break. Once again, I repeat, we have not dropped this, so we’ll begin translating regularly soon. School’s almost over for us, so we’re sure that we’ll be able to get quite an amount of translations out through the summer! 😀

TLDR: We didn’t drop this, to some of you who thought we had. Many of our translators were sick. So, sorry for the inconveniences we caused before! 🙂

Liu Man felt very weak, “I want to apply for a refund.”

“Sorry dear, but we don’t accept opened cat food. I’m very sorry.”

“Your cat food has problems, why won’t you let me refund it then?” Liu Man was getting mad. Cats cost lots of money to raise, and this store’s cat food was expensive. 15 pounds of cat food, the whole bag, costs more than 500 yuan. She didn’t dare to use this to feed Daylight, but the money couldn’t be wasted.

TL Note: Didn’t dare to feed Daylight because it was fake.

Her family was in need of money, so she couldn’t spend money without care like the old Liu Man did anymore.

“If you don’t give me a refund, then I’ll give your store a bad review. Because of your cat food, my cat had hematochezia last night!”

Li Xiaoru once told her, Taobao store owners feared bad reviews the most. Liu Man thought this trick would work, but didn’t expect that the opposite side didn’t care, “You can give us a bad review, but they don’t matter. Our product doesn’t have a problem,” The customer service didn’t call Liu Man “dear” anymore, and said with a cold voice, “Hematochezia can be caused by many things, do you have any proof that it’s our cat foods’ problem?”

No matter what message Liu Man sent after, customer service just wouldn’t reply back. She searched for a long time on the ordering page, and finally found a button to apply for a Taobao shop Xiaoer intervention. It stated that the process would be completed within seven working days.

But what would Daylight eat during the seven days?

Liu Man thought of Yu Zhan and immediately opened WeChat.

“Do you sell cat food from the brand, Cats’ Garden, in your store?”

After the message was sent, she realized it was 8am, and that she shouldn’t be bothering him so early in the morning.

But after a few seconds, Liu Man got a reply.

“Yes.”

“I want to buy a few bags of cat food from your store.”

“Alright.”

“Manman, are you awake?” Zhang Pei’s voice came from outside.

“Yeah, I’m awake.”

Liu Man dropped her phone and opened the door.

“Me and your Uncle Sun have to meet up to talk about your father, so you’ll have to make your own meal today.”

“Okay,” Liu Man hesitated and asked, “How long is dad going to be kept by the police?”

Zhang Pei sighed, “That depends on how long the procedure of the procuratorate takes, we need to try to reach an agreement with the Wang family as fast as possible.”

During this time, Sun Yiyi contacted the opposing lawyer, and as he expected, Lawyer Zhang implied that the Wang family’s youngest son got angry a lot. He especially liked posting community tabs on the internet. It wasn’t good for both sides of the party if the delay continued.

The Wang family wouldn’t let loose on the 3 million, not even a single bit. But on the other hand, if they paid the Wangs 3 millions and won their forgiveness, then Liu Chengyu could definitely come home in less than a year. Otherwise, 3~5 years of jail time awaited ahead.

Zhang Pei was going to let her husband go to jail. She didn’t care if he lost his job. He needed to be responsible for his own mistakes. They could always just start all over again.

But Sun Yiyi said that once Liu Chengyu got into jail, then that would become the permanent stain on Liu Man’s record. She wouldn’t be able to become a civil servant or even pass the civil service exam.

Zhang Pei couldn’t accept that. She always thought being a civil servant was the best job her useless daughter could get! As a mother, she had to think for Liu Man’s future.

Zhang Pei took her bag and left the house. Liu Man kept herself busy too. She first cleaned the house, then started practicing piano.

The final exam was next Monday, and Liu Man had to use her weekend time to practice. From the start of the practice to the end was a whole entire day. She had only rested a bit while eating lunch. If it weren’t for the delivery call, she would’ve still been practicing.

Her compound didn’t let deliveries in. Some delivery men would put the packages in the storage room, while some would pick a time when the house owner was home and let them come to pick it up.

The delivery man piled her packages at the side. It was a total of five boxes. Liu Man had just finished signing the receipt and thinking of how she could carry those home by herself.

A voice suddenly spoke from behind her,

“Why are you dozing off here?”

Liu Man turned around, surprised to see Yu Zhan here. The weather was nice today, the temperature wasn’t too low, and Yu Zhan wore a long light gray coat. A long, slender body, with his hand holding a leash with an alaskan dog. The alaskan was slightly bigger than normal ones, looking very majestic. With his owner so handsome, the duo attracted everyone’s attention there.

“I was thinking about which box I should take home first.”

Yu Zhan was enlightened by how honest Liu Man was, “Let me help you.”

But Liu Man shook her head, “No thanks.” She didn’t want to cause anymore trouble for him.

“It’s really nothing, I’ll just see this as an exercise. Here, help me hold the dog.” Yu Zhan wouldn’t even give Liu Man a chance to refuse and stuffed his dog leash into her hand.

He looked at Liu Man’s house address, ordered the boxes from large to small, easily lifted the pile up, and quickly walked towards Liu Man’s compound.

Liu Man wanted to stop him, but was dragged forward by the alaskan dog and had to jog to keep up. She caught up with Yu Zhan, leaving numerous stunned people behind. Before, people thought that Tang Tu and his girlfriend both had god-like faces, but right now, everyone thought that Yu Zhan and Liu Man were the real gods of beauty because they weren’t even wearing makeup!

“But the boxes are covered with dust. Your clothes are going to get dirty,” Liu Man was worried.

“I can just wash it, it’s not worth much after-all.”

Yu Zhan’s tone was indifferent, and Liu Man believed him.

“What did you buy?” Yu Zhan asked.

“Stationery. Pens and stuff.”

“Are they ballpoint pens, gel pens or what? How much did you even buy? It’s pretty heavy.”

Yu Zhan first thought of paint pens, color pencils and other colorful notebooks that little girls liked.

“No, I bought the MengTian brush.”

“What?” Yu Zhan didn’t understand.

“It’s commonly known as the Chinese writing brush. I also got paper and an ink slab.”

“So you meant Chinese calligraphy.”

“Yep.”

Yu Zhan was surprised, but he expected it somehow. The first impression Liu Man gave to him was that she was different from other girls he had met before.

Her eyes didn’t look like a teenager’s eyes. They weren’t arrogant and self centered eyes. They had a bit of implicit hold and generosity, yet still, they shined. So even though she only wore her sleepwear under the jacket, with a messy look, she still gave off a very ladylike vibe.

Liu Man didn’t want to say much. It wasn’t her fault that she had bought those brushes to earn money. Just like what Wang Nina told her, vulgar and not elegant enough.

TL Note: Because Wang Nina thinks that piano students must be elegant enough, she didn’t think that Liu Man was elegant enough because she cared about money so much.

The alaskan dog was very intelligent. Knowing that his owner was flirting, he walked steadily, not giving his owner trouble. His tail was wagging, and his big black eyes were constantly moving.

Liu Man was curious about the dog and asked Yu Zhan, “Is this your dog?”

“Yeah, his name is Paul, I found him two years earlier.”

“How could someone throw away a dog so cute,” Liu Man loved animals even in her previous life. Now that she had Daylight, she couldn’t bear to see animal abuse even more.

“I found him in my apartment’s staircase. He was in a box, trembling from the cold. He looked pitiful.”

Liu Man could even imagine the scene, she felt a bit sad. “Thank God, Paul met you. This was to his luck.”

Yu Zhan laughed and said, “Yep, meeting me normally brings good luck.”
