Chapter 144: Deal with Casey and return to the city!
Judging from Cathy's reaction, it seemed that she and her mother did not have a good relationship, Liu Chi asked.
"When did your mother die? And why are you in this hotel?"
Cathy's gaze shifted from the window to Liu Chi, her eyes full of smiles. She found Liu Chi's serious and eager attitude amusing.
"You haven't told me who you are yet? Why are you looking for my mother? I can't give this information to a stranger with unknown intentions, right?"
"Liu Chi, I came here to ask for a favor."
Liu Chi said as he handed Casey the letter written by her own hand.
"Look, this is a letter your mother wrote to Ben."
Cathy smiled disdainfully and took the letter.
He simply skimmed over the general content and handed the letter to Liu Chi.
"So you were sent by someone else to find my mother?"
"Not all of it. I just wanted to ask your mother to save Ben. Now that your mother is gone, I also want to understand why this letter became the last one."
"Well, I won't waste your time. As for my mother, I have only seen that portrait, and I only just learned her name."
Kathy walked to the dormitory door.
"By the way, if you have nothing else, please go back. I have to go to work after dinner, so I don't have time to chat with you here."
Liu Chi quickly caught up with Casey. It seemed that he must have discovered something and he had to find a way to figure it out.
"Hey! Cathy, can you do me a favor and go meet Ben? You are Cathy's daughter after all!"
"I don't have such an irresponsible mother who can only give birth but not raise the child."
Casey didn't even turn his head, and even quickened his pace.
Liu Chi realized that asking further was not a solution, so he might as well ask the lady at the front desk. After all, anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
After going downstairs, Liu Chi did not see Casey, so he walked to the counter.
After knowing that Liu Chi's identity was not ordinary, the aunt at the counter smiled at Liu Chi.
"What's wrong? You look unhappy. Are you dissatisfied with our Cathy?"
It was obvious that the lady at the counter had defined Cathy as a commodity.
"No, I want to ask you something. Do you know anything about Cathy's mother?"
The old lady's expression obviously changed for a moment, and then she smiled again.
"Well! I seem to know a little bit, but I can't remember it."
Liu Chi flipped his hand and a gold coin suddenly appeared on the counter.
"Do you remember now, Auntie?"
"Oh! Yes, yes! I remember now!"
The aunt put away the gold coins and continued,
"Kathy had a tragic life story. Her mother hanged herself not long after giving birth to her, and no one knows who her father is."
"So how old is she now?"
With the example of Janet above, Liu Chi could no longer tell Cathy's actual age based on her appearance alone. If her mother gave birth at the age of 20, then Cathy would be at least 30 years old now.
"Let me think about it. It's been almost twenty years since she was adopted by the hotel, right? Oh, yes! She's nineteen years old now!"
Liu Chi frowned. If Cathy was nineteen years old now, her mother would have been around thirty-five when she gave birth to her, which was more than twenty years different from the time in the letter.
So what happened in the twenty years between the move and Cathy's birth? Why didn't Cathy continue to write letters?
Seeing that Liu Chi had become serious, the aunt continued to explain,
"Don't get me wrong, Cathy is just a name she inherited from her mother. If she hadn't come to you, who would have remembered this old story?"
"Auntie, do you remember anything about Cathy's mother? She was fine, why did she commit suicide? Also, where was the house she lived in before?"
"You really make it difficult for me. It's been 20 or 30 years. How can I remember so much?"
Liu Chi looked into the aunt's eyes. She didn't seem to be lying. After all, it had been so long since Casey came.
It's not a very important thing. Maybe many people only remember that a woman committed suicide several years ago.
"Thank you then!"
Liu Chi said to the aunt that although he did not get the information he wanted, at least he understood the general situation.
The aunt stopped Liu Chi who was about to leave.
"Who are you to Cathy? You look so young!"
"Oh, a friend of a friend."
"Don't leave!"
The aunt called Liu Chi again.
"I see that Casey is very important to you. I won't ask any more questions about your affairs. If you think it's appropriate, I'll give her a fair price of two hundred diamond coins. You can take her!"
Knowing that Liu Chi had a space ring, the aunt immediately asked for a huge amount of money. You know, according to the average market price, two hundred diamond coins can buy nearly ten ordinary slaves.
Liu Chi looked at the aunt smiling at him, and a path he had never imagined appeared.
After the two of them finished the transaction, the aunt went straight into the kitchen and said to Casey who was still eating dinner,
"Kathy! Hurry up and pack up and move out. How did you hook up with that kind of rich and powerful person? I used to be pretty good-looking~"
The aunt said this with jealousy and contempt written all over her face. On the one hand, she envied Cathy, but on the other hand, she sneered at Cathy's behavior.
Cathy understood immediately that it must be the man from the daytime who did it.
Without bothering to eat, Casey walked to the hall and saw Liu Chi sitting on a chair in the distance with his back to her. She went straight upstairs.
After a while, Cathy changed into a faded black dress and came down carrying a large wooden box.
The aunt had already greeted Liu Chi, so at this moment Liu Chi happened to meet Casey at the bottom of the stairs.
Unexpectedly, after Casey took off her work clothes and let her tied hair down, she still looked pretty after a little dressing up. Her youthful appearance made Liu Chi's eyes light up.
At this time, Casey gave Liu Chi the impression that he was more like a person in a painting.
Cathy was stunned for just a second, then continued to walk down the stairs. At this time, she understood what the aunt meant.
"Kathy, let's go!"
Liu Chi followed Casey's steps and walked out of the hotel.
Cathy walked very fast, and the wooden box in her hand had no effect on her, so Liu Chi was forced to keep up with her pace.
The two of them just kept walking like this, she walked and he chased.
Soon, tiny water droplets began to float in the sky. Casey continued to walk forward with his head down, without any destination, just to vent his dissatisfaction.
The rain seemed to get heavier in an instant, but Casey showed no intention of stopping, let alone taking shelter from the rain.
Soon, under the wash of rain, Casey's long skirt clung to her body, and her black hair stuck to her scalp, almost blocking most of her vision.
Liu Chi covered his forehead with his hands to make sure he would not lose Casey.
Finally, the "chase" came to a halt when Casey accidentally tripped over a rock.
Casey angrily threw the wooden box out heavily. The box was smashed aside and fell apart. The few simple clothes inside were washed away by the rain.
Liu Chi walked to Casey's side, took out a black umbrella and held it over Casey's head.
Cathy raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Chi. This man made her feel funny. He had been following her and was still foolishly getting wet in the rain.
Liu Chi held the umbrella almost exclusively for Casey, and most of his body was still being washed by the heavy rain.
“Haha ...
The heavy rain swallowed up Cathy's laughter. She didn't know why she was laughing. She felt that only by laughing could she be happy.
Looking at the rain hitting the ground, Casey's smile gradually stopped.
"Hey! What on earth do you want to do?"
Liu Chi finally waited for Casey's answer through action. However, due to the heavy rain, Liu Chi was not prepared to answer directly. Instead, he used all his strength to pull Casey up.
"Hehe~hehe~"
Cathy smiled happily with her messy hair like a madman.
"I told you, do me a favor!"
Cathy did not answer Liu Chi immediately, but followed the strength Liu Chi had just used and hugged Liu Chi tightly in her arms.
Cathy rubbed her wet body lightly against Liu Chi's.
Liu Chi felt uneasy at the moment, because his clothes were soaked, he could clearly feel the softness coming from Casey's body.
Fortunately, what Liu Chi was afraid of did not happen. He originally thought that Casey would be the next side quest. After such a long time, the system still did not respond, so Liu Chi was relieved.
"Well, I'll do you this favor. When you're done, give me 100 diamond coins and your freedom~"
Casey whispered in Liu Chi's ear.
"Deal!" said Liu Chi.
His original goal was to rescue Ben and refine the weapon. As long as he could accomplish this, Liu Chi had no interest in what happened to Casey afterwards.
"Then send it out now! I'm in a hurry."
After Liu Chi finished speaking, he summoned Milia directly.
Looking at the little girl who suddenly appeared, Casey, who originally thought that Liu Chi was not an ordinary person, became even more curious about Liu Chi's abilities.
When Milia was summoned, she saw Liu Chi hugging a strange woman, and she felt excited, envious, and jealous.
He was excited because he was possessed by a minotaur, he was envious because he also wanted to be close to Liu Chi, and he was jealous because he inexplicably felt a little unhappy.
"Milia! Take us back to Liro's palace."
Liu Chi calculated the time in his mind. If he flew faster, it shouldn't be a problem to get back to Lilo before dawn.
If you want to hug me, hug me all night long.
With a spiteful mentality, Milia did not take the two people flying separately, but grabbed the two and flew.
"Hold on tight, I won't care if you fall."
Cathy smiled and hugged Liu Chi tighter. After seeing Millia's spread wings, Cathy also realized that Millia was a vampire.
The three of them flew in the air in the rain, heading towards Liro.
After leaving the city, the rain gradually subsided. Liu Chi was a little drowsy from the exhaustion of the day, but he couldn't help himself and fell asleep.
