Chapter 516: Chapter 516: "Do you hate your own children?

Ten thousand people were already watching the live stream.

Renee Jennings began connecting with a random viewer.

Soon, a viewer named "SlimSnowflake" successfully connected.

The screen split in two. In one half, a girl with a round, baby-face and her hair in a topknot appeared, her expression a mixture of delight and shock.

"Me?" She pointed at herself in disbelief. "This outrageous fortune has actually fallen into my lap!"

SlimSnowflake even planted her hands on her hips and threw her head back, roaring with laughter. "WA HA HA HA..."

[Girl, that’s enough!]

[Fine, fine, you just wait! The next time I get connected, I’m definitely going to laugh even longer than that!]

Renee Jennings chuckled at her reaction. "Snow, you’re adorable."

Hearing this, SlimSnowflake immediately sat up primly before the camera, waving. "Good evening, Ms. Jennings! Hello, everyone in the stream!"

"Good evening, Snow." Renee Jennings’s lips curled into a slight smile. "And you’re not fat at all."

[No, we’re not doing good at all!]

[Good evening to all the ladies, but a *bad* evening to Snow.]

Hearing Renee Jennings’s words, SlimSnowflake giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. "Really?"

"’Really. Being too thin isn’t good either," Renee Jennings said, her expression turning serious. "What’s most important is being healthy and having a balanced figure."

"I get it!" SlimSnowflake nodded emphatically.

A faint smile bloomed on Renee Jennings’s lips. "So," she said slowly, "is there anything I can help our friend SlimSnowflake with?"

SlimSnowflake raised her hand like an elementary school student. "Yes, Ms. Jennings."

"Please, go ahead, Snow."

"Ms. Jennings, I have two cats at home. Recently, the mother cat gave birth to three kittens, but I don’t know why, the father cat’s attitude towards the mother and kittens has been really strange. Whenever the mother cat gets close, he hisses at her."

Hearing this, Renee Jennings’s eyes lifted slightly. "That is a bit strange. Does the father cat hiss at the kittens too?"

"He does," SlimSnowflake said, nodding forcefully. "He’s even more aggressive with the kittens. If I’m not watching, the father cat kicks, stomps on, and even bites his babies. I’m afraid he’ll eat the kittens, so I’ve already separated them."

[Does the father cat not know those are his kids?]

[Actually, the dad cat’s attitude is pretty normal, because my husband is the same way. He doesn’t care about the kids, and if they bother him while he’s on his phone, he’ll hit and yell at them.]

[Dude above, are you memeing or being serious...]

After a few seconds of thought, Renee Jennings asked softly, "Snow, did the father cat see the mother cat give birth to the kittens?"

"Yes, he did." SlimSnowflake nodded and explained, "Before the mother cat gave birth, they were incredibly close. How close? So close that when the mother cat was pooping, the father cat had to go with her."

"Also, the father cat seemed to know the mother was pregnant. He would often share his food with her."

[I know this one! It’s because the kids are born now, so the dad isn’t afraid the mom will run off. He’s starting to show his true colors.]

[You’re a genius.]

[That’s really weird, though. Why would the dad cat change after the mom had kids?]

Renee Jennings frowned slightly. "Snow, why don’t you bring the father cat over? I’ll have a chat with him."

"Okay." SlimSnowflake agreed, then stood up and left the camera’s view.

After about three minutes, SlimSnowflake returned to the camera, holding an orange-and-white cat.

"Sorry, Ms. Jennings, the father cat was hiding somewhere, and I couldn’t find him." She stroked the orange-and-white cat’s head and explained, "This is the mother cat. Her name is Chilli."

Mama Pepper’s gaze shifted around before landing on the phone screen, her round, golden eyes filled with curiosity.

Renee Jennings met her gaze, a slight smile on her lips. She said warmly, "Hello, Chilli. I’m Renee Jennings. I hear you gave birth to some kittens recently, is that right?"

Mama Pepper let out a soft meow. "That’s right. I had kittens. Three of them."

"They must be very cute," Renee Jennings said.

Mama Pepper was taken aback for a moment, then she shook her head. "Meow~ They’re not cute at all."

This time it was Renee Jennings’s turn to be stunned. She pursed her lips before asking, "Aren’t they your kittens? Why would you think they aren’t cute?"

"Meow~ Even though I gave birth to them, they really aren’t cute at all. They don’t look like me, and they don’t look like Bean."

"Bean?"

SlimSnowflake quickly explained, "Bean is the father cat’s name."

"I see." Renee Jennings nodded lightly. She was suddenly a little curious about what the kittens of Chilli and Bean looked like. "Can we see the kittens, then?"

"Of course." SlimSnowflake immediately agreed, holding Mama Pepper in one arm and picking up her phone with the other.

She walked out of the room and onto the enclosed balcony.

Inside a pink cat cage, three tiny kittens were sleeping on their backs with their legs splayed out.

The moment Renee Jennings saw the three little kittens, a single term flashed through her mind—tiger-skin cake.

She wasn’t the only one who thought so; the audience did too.

[Whoa, three slices of tiger-skin cake.]

[Oh my god, the kittens are so cute! Are you accepting adoption offers for a fee???]

[Authentic tiger-skin cakes, ha ha ha.]

Mama Pepper huddled in her owner’s arms, covering her eyes with a small paw as if she couldn’t bear to look. "Meow~ Why did I give birth to such ugly kittens?"

’She really couldn’t figure it out.’

’She was so beautiful, and Bean was so majestic. Why would they have babies that didn’t look like their mom or their dad?’

"They’re very cute," Renee Jennings said, amused. "The kittens are adorable. They’re not ugly at all."

"Meow! Ugly!" Mama Pepper’s tone was resolute. "Very ugly! I don’t like them anymore!"

Hearing Mama Pepper’s words, the smile on Renee Jennings’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a much more serious expression. "You hate your own children?"

[Huh? What’s going on???]

[No way. The dad cat doesn’t like his babies, and the mom doesn’t either?]

[Nooo, what did the kittens do wrong? Why does neither their mom nor their dad love them?]

SlimSnowflake also frowned, her face full of worry. "Ms. Jennings, does Chilli not like her babies either?"

"Meow! That’s right!" Mama Pepper shrieked at the top of her lungs. "MEOW MEOW MEOW! Bean has been ignoring me and hissing at me these past few days! It must be because the kittens I had for him are too ugly, and he doesn’t like them!"

"So, because Bean is ignoring you and hissing at you, you’ve started to hate your own children, is that right?" Renee Jennings asked.

Mama Pepper nodded her little head. "Meow~ That’s right. It’s all their fault for being so ugly that Bean is ignoring me!"

[No way, is the mother cat some kind of love-struck fool?]

[Wait, why is this mother cat a bit like my best friend...]

[I’m dying, what kind of drama can’t you find in this live stream?]

[When will it be my turn? I need to ask if my cat is a love-struck fool too.]
