Compared to Liu Man’s happiness, at this moment, Tao Zhiyao was feeling very gloomy.
The method Yu Zhan taught her, which required her to feed her cat goat milk, did not work at all. No matter what she fed Pear, he wouldn’t stop barfing. Now, he couldn’t even drink water, and he was very feeble.
Tao Zhiyao, feeling pained, took the cat into her arms and told her driver to immediately send her to Yu Zhan’s pet clinic.
The pet clinic was at its peak of receiving customers during the afternoon. Even if one had to reserve a spot, customers still came one after another.
These past few days, Ye Ziliang, who had lost his job, had been voluntarily helping Yu Zhan in his clinic. He would be playing the front desk role as a desk and welcome the customers, helping the nurse do a part of her job.
Firstly, he would be making up for the film payment he owed Yu Zhan. Secondly, he wanted to find the inspiration for the second episode of “Vet’s Cuties” by whelming himself in the nurse’s busy assisting work.
Tao Zhiyao’s car parked at the entrance of the clinic, and she hurriedly rushed in with the cat in her arms. Her driver, who was worried about them, followed closely behind.
Ye Ziliang saw her, and she also saw Ye Ziliang. Not having the time to ask Ye Ziliang why he was here, Tao Zhiyao said to him, “Is Yu Zhan busy?”
Tao Zhiyao had always had a look on that read: “I have money, so I’m calm”. This was the first time Ye Ziliang had seen her be so flustered and anxious. He had also noticed the kitten in her arms, looking pained and weak; obviously, something was wrong.
“I’ll go urge him,” Ye Ziliang checked the time. The last customer had already been in for more than half an hour. Ye Ziliang remembered this customer deeply; she was a millionaire’s wife, who was here with her Ragdoll cat, and she wore all kinds of expensive items. When she reserved a spot, the sign-in chart said her pet was not having a good appetite and was barfing. She had already been here once yesterday, and Yu Zhan had examined her Ragdoll cat. He told her that there wasn’t a big issue, and she just had to be careful of what she feeds the cat.
As a result, she came again today. Yu Zhan invited her and her cat into the consulting room, and their discussion went on for more than half an hour. Fifteen minutes ago, the nurse also went into the consulting room. The door was tightly shut, so the conversation between the trio was unknown to the others.
Ye Ziliang walked to the entrance of the consulting room and could hear the faint conversation from inside. He knocked on the door, and the voices stopped talking. The nurse opened the door, and before she could hide the impatience in her eyes, she helplessly asked Ye Ziliang,
“What? Is the next customer here?”
Ye Ziliang glanced at the rich woman inside the consulting room. She was glaring at him with an unfriendly look, and the Ragdoll cat was in her arms. He then looked at Yu Zhan, who was sitting opposite her. Yu Zhan still looked calmed and unhurried, but the entire room’s atmosphere was not so well.
Ye Ziliang told the nurse and Yu Zhan, “Peach is here. Her cat seems to be in a critical situation.”
Yu Zhan heard his words, immediately stood up, and said to the rich woman, “Mrs. Qian, my results for your cat’s body check says that she is not sick. If you don’t believe me, you can go to other pet clinics to examine her again. Now, I have to welcome other customers. Xiao Jie, see Mrs. Qian out.”
TL’s Note: Xiao Jie is the nurse, although the author has never said it before.
The nurse silently rolled her eyes somewhere the rich woman couldn’t see her. She must’ve stepped on dog poop to meet such a great customer. This woman came to their clinic today just to argue against her boss!
Her boss had too much of a high-tiered style. How could he possibly argue against women? And so, he called the nurse in to help him argue… She gained one more responsibility.
The rich woman felt even more unsatisfied, “I was the one who reserved this time first. My baby’s still sick; how can you go care about other pets? This is your issue, and you have to pay full responsibility. You are not allowed to leave!”
Yu Zhan had already been sick of her. He was resisting his impatience before, but now that Tao Zhiyao’s cat was obviously sick, he could no longer tolerate this woman and waste his time.
“I admit that my medical skills are too low-tiered and that my level is not enough. My hospital has very bad conditions, and we don’t have enough staff or equipment. We cannot see what disease your cat has. Please go to a better pet clinic.”
Yu Zhan’s tone was gentle as always, but it was full of mockery at the same time.
Ye Ziliang felt surprised. What was wrong today? First, it was Tao Zhiyao, and now it was Yu Zhan. Every one of them was not like their usual selves.
He also realized that this woman was here to make a farce today. A bright idea flashed through his head, and he took out his phone from his pocket, sneakily turning on the filming feature.
Yu Zhan’s words instantly made the rich woman explode. She criticized him angrily, “I’m doubtful that you are even qualified to be a vet. You can’t even see this simple disease my cat has, and you wasted so much money of mine, giving my baby both injections and medicine. My baby has been in pain because of your quackery, and her treatment has been delayed for one day. She’s in an even more critical situation today, being lethargic and not having any appetite. If you don’t give me an explanation now, I will report your clinic for cheating money!”
The rich woman’s voice was very loud, and Tao Zhiyao, who was waiting outside, heard her words.
She walked over with the cat in her arms to see what was going on.
When Yu Zhan saw Pear, his expression froze, and he completely ignored the rich woman as he walked up to Tao Zhiyao. He said, “Give me your cat.”
Tao Zhiyao saw there was something wrong with Yu Zhan’s expression and immediately handed Pear over. Unexpectedly, the rich woman stepped in, planting her feet on the ground in between them to block the action, “I’ve said it just now. I reserved this time first! Why can she cut the line?”
The rich woman’s bossy look pissed Tao Zhiyao off.
As a wealthy daughter, nobody had ever dared to talk to her like that.
Before Tao Zhiyao could act out of infuriation, Yu Zhan told the nurse, “Calculate the total sum of Miss Qian’s consultation fee, medical fee, and medicine fee.”
The nurse intentionally used a very loud voice, “I remember it even if I don’t calculate it! Miss Qian has spent a total of 270 RMB today and yesterday, including the consultation fee of 20 RMB, the gastroenteritis test paper examination fee of 80 RMB, the antiemetic injection fee of 120 RMB, and the amoxicillin and probiotics fee of 50 RMB.”
This was the supposed “you wasted so much money of mine” that the rich woman had mentioned, and the rich woman looked a bit embarrassed. Yu Zhan said, “We are not going to cheat your money, and we are refunding you right now. Can you please step away? The blue cat this miss carries might have the Parvovirus. We will not be found responsible if your Ragdoll gets infected.”
The rich woman, as if stepping onto dog poop, immediately jumped to one side and avoided any contact with the blue cat out of fear, hugging her cat tightly as soon as she heard the word “Parvovirus”.
And Tao Zhiyao’s face instantly paled.
Yu Zhan finally took Pear from her hands. He quickly examined the cat with just his eyes. Tao Zhiyao asked him helplessly, “Does he have Parvovirus?”
Yu Zhan sighed, “There’s a huge possibility.”
Tao Zhiyao, as if the sky had collapsed, felt her legs weaken. Ye Ziliang immediately helped her so she could stay on her feet.
The Parvovirus was referred to by many as the cat plague. It was acute contact enteritis of cats, and the average death rate was as high as sixty percent. The smallest the cat was, the higher the death rate was.
“Let me further examine him.”
Yu Zhan said, then immediately walked into the examining room with the cat in his arms.
The nurse told Tao Zhiyao, “Don’t be too nervous. My boss is a really good vet. There was a cat with Parvovirus before, and he cured it.”
The rich woman smirked, “That’s a swank. He can’t even cure my baby.”
