When Zheng Tan returned home, Jiao Ma scolded Ermao several times. Suddenly taking the cat away for two days without even a phone call to check in, left Jiao Ma anxious and worried that Ermao might take her cat to some undesirable places.
Ermao obediently stood there and took the scolding, continuously admitting his mistakes.
Seeing Ermao's sincere attitude and that nothing untoward happened to the cat, Jiao Ma spoke a few words and let it pass.
Senior Hetao really wanted to thank the Jiao family, in his view, Zheng Tan and the Jiao family were in it together. If he couldn't repay the favor of a cat, then surely he could repay the favor owed to the Jiao family, right? However, now didn't seem like the right time to tell the truth, he thought, better wait for later.
The case was proceeding smoothly, and a promotion seemed hopeful, but what dissatisfied Senior Hetao was that the rich second generation who caught squirrels had not shown up at all yet.
