The Rich Little Poor Girl from a Wealthy Family Is Too Rich Chapter 29: Sucking the Tiger

Chapter 29: Sucking the Tiger

With her own private plane, there’s no need to worry about the pet policies of various airlines. If Su Shiyi wanted, she could bring all of their family’s dozen or so kittens along.

But after thinking it over, she decided against it. Bringing Milk Candy alone already required three cat nannies and a pet nutritionist. If she brought a dozen kittens, how many people would she need? It would be too much of a spectacle.

Kevin, the ever-resourceful one, sorted out the flight route and handled all the processes for the cats to travel abroad. The entire task only took half a day. This sense of being able to just leave for Ohio like a stroll to the neighboring Jin City almost made Su Shiyi think she wasn’t flying to Ohio but just heading out for a casual walk in the next city.

Speaking of Jin City, she suddenly wanted to eat jianbing guozi… Her thoughts were a bit scattered, but if she wanted to eat, she had to get it.

“The [1]“Michelin chef” refers to a chef who has been recognized by the Michelin Guide, a prestigious rating system for fine dining.Michelin chef can’t recreate that taste,” Su Shiyi said, somewhat troubled. “I want to eat from a street vendor, but the ones you brought back are cold. It’s not the same as when it’s freshly made—it loses its soul.”

Kevin: “Alright, I’ll immediately get the necessary equipment and invite an experienced [2]jianbing guozi vendor refers to a street food seller who specializes in making 煎饼果子 (jianbing guozi), a traditional Chinese savory pancake.jianbing guozi vendor from Jin City to make it for you in the kitchen.”

Su Shiyi was satisfied. “Make sure it’s with two eggs, plus chicken sausage, chicken fillet, and spicy strips. Aren’t there also king crabs and Boston lobsters in the kitchen? Let’s make crab sticks and shrimp paste and add them in. Don’t waste them. More spicy sauce, no scallions.”

Yes, she truly is a frugal, unpretentious rich woman.

Milk Candy had no resistance to leaving the house. As long as she could stay close to Su Shiyi, it didn’t matter where they went.

Moreover, when she found out she was the only cat accompanying Su Shiyi on the trip while the other kittens stayed home, Milk Candy became even more excited.

Before entering the pet carrier, Milk Candy gave a “grand speech” in front of the cats and dogs, instructing the younger kittens to stay at home.

The five cats, who had been robbed of their food by Milk Candy, trembled in fear in her presence, promising to behave. Among the nine dogs, only four were large breeds, but they were still puppies…

Samoyeds, golden retrievers, and shepherd dogs, with their gentle temperaments, all accepted Milk Candy’s “rule,” while the Husky, disagreeing, was violently suppressed by Milk Candy. The little paw was fierce, and just as the Husky tried to fight back, the golden retriever and shepherd dog teamed up to hold it down, telling it to behave and listen to Milk Candy, the boss.

Husky: ?

Oh, so you guys are real “lap dogs”!

Su Shiyi still felt reluctant to leave the kittens behind and hugged each of them before departure. Of course, this was all while Milk Candy had already been taken to the car by Kevin, out of her sight…

Sigh, how did she end up behaving like a bad woman?

On her private plane, the flight experience was absolutely perfect. Su Shiyi’s desire to lie down on a bed was fully activated as soon as she saw it. The bedding was exactly the kind she liked—soft, skin-friendly, and comfortable. Milk Candy was let out and, as usual, lay on her chest.

In fact, kittens grow quite quickly. Su Shiyi, who had often served as a human cushion, noticed this. It hadn’t been that long, yet Milk Candy was getting heavier every day.

“Your food is too good,” Su Shiyi lifted her with both hands. “You’ve gained a lot of weight. You should exercise more, or you’ll turn into a fat cat.”

Milk Candy meowed in rebuttal, and her gaze fell on Su Shiyi’s face, with a very clear, pointed look.

Su Shiyi: “… I’m not fat! I used to be slightly malnourished, but now I’m well-fed!”

Even though Su Shiyi occasionally indulged in her diet, always craving fried foods and sweets, and rarely exercised by just lying around, she truly hadn’t gained weight.

If her calorie intake from the previous meal was too high, her nutritionist would make her meals for the next few days extremely light—clear soups, for example. Fortunately, she had the best chefs who could turn simple ingredients into delicious low-calorie dishes, making it easy for her to stick to the plan without resistance.

Aside from that, she wasn’t completely inactive. At least she went for walks, because lying down all day would make her dizzy. Combined with professional massages and carefully prepared bath formulas, Su Shiyi hadn’t accumulated much fat.

Actually, Milk Candy was in the same situation. She also had her own pet nutritionist, but that didn’t stop Su Shiyi from teasing her.

“If you keep eating without exercising, you’re going to turn into a big fat cat…”

Milk Candy was too clever. When she wanted to understand what humans were saying, she could almost read minds. But when she wanted to play dumb, she’d act totally innocent, meowing non-stop. When humans made gestures, she’d act like she had no idea what they meant—just a little cat, completely clueless.

Su Shiyi didn’t think much of it, simply patting Milk Candy’s head before returning to her phone. Kevin had upgraded the server for Lüyang, so the reading experience was incredibly smooth. She was connected to in-flight WiFi, and the updates didn’t lag anymore.

Her interests had expanded from historical novels to the entire romance genre, even those without CP (couple pairings) that were also quite enjoyable. Enthusiastic forum users had summed up that in just one month since she joined Lüyang, she had already spent over a million in donations.

Su Shiyi pondered—only a million? The efficiency of spending on novels in Lüyang was so slow. She had spent a month and only donated a million, which couldn’t even compare to the film industry, where billions were made in a minute.

With such speed, it’s no wonder her father, Gu Lang, had called her wasteful, saying she didn’t even know how to squander money (?).

However, some people had analyzed her account “One Strawberry” and her Weibo handle “Shiyi Rich Lady,” realizing they appeared in the public eye around the same time. The forum had pretty much accepted that “One Strawberry” was her.

Su Shiyi never confirmed nor denied it, not really caring whether her alter ego was exposed. With her financial power, she liked authors who could guarantee daily updates with tens of thousands of words, which was super satisfying.

Once she had enough money… Wait, no, that’s an old saying of hers. She was already super rich now.

She wanted to buy the copyrights for these works, publish a set of deluxe hardcover editions for her collection, and then adapt them into comics and films, with the original authors acting as scriptwriters. This way, she could earn money twice and ensure that the core aspects of the adaptation remained unchanged.

As for market appeal or popularity… who cared? It was all about her own preferences.

There was a 13-hour time difference between the capital and Ohio, so when Su Shiyi left in the morning, it was still morning when they arrived.

From the plane, she could see a strong American countryside vibe, with detached villas being the primary housing type and few high-rise buildings in sight.

The plane landed and was still gliding along the runway. Su Shiyi asked, “How far is it to Dad’s estate from here?”

Kevin: “It’s about a 15-minute drive to Mr. Gu’s villa, and the airport is actually within the estate’s grounds.”

Su Shiyi: ?

Ah, now she understood just how huge Kevin meant by “a very large estate.” Compared to that, the land prices in Ohio were so much cheaper than in the capital and G City.

With the attentive care of her pet nannies, Milk Candy didn’t experience any negative reactions during takeoff or landing. Cats are naturally big sleepers, so for her, it was just a change of sleeping location.

Su Shiyi petted Milk Candy’s fluffy little head. The poor little kitty had no idea what was coming her way.

On the car ride, Kevin gave her a detailed introduction to the layout of the estate. This was the largest natural estate under the Gu family’s name, located in the corn belt. The farm area grew corn, wheat, oats, soybeans, and various fruits and vegetables, while the pasture area raised a large number of cattle and sheep. The annual food production not only met internal demand but also had a large portion sold externally.

There was also a lake on the estate, with the tiger conservation area built around it. After communicating with Gu Lang’s secretary, Kevin and Su Shiyi were now heading towards the conservation area where Gu Lang was located.

Thanks to the bed on the private plane, Su Shiyi had slept very comfortably and didn’t need to adjust to the time difference. Her luggage had been sent to the villa by another car, and the local butler would take care of everything.

To ensure that the Gu family could always move into the properties they purchased, they had butlers around the world. The head butler and regional butlers would periodically inspect and review their work, with performance evaluations each year to determine their job positions and possible transfers…

Su Shiyi quickly calculated the annual expenses the Gu family spent on this project, then fell silent.

As expected, compared to her father, Gu Lang, she was still too conservative with her spending!

The car arrived at the lakeside, and through the car window, Su Shiyi saw Gu Lang. He was sitting on a small stool with a fishing rod in hand, and beside him, a tiger was lying obediently.

When they approached, Gu Lang remained calm as always. The tiger, sensing the movement, made a move to rise, which startled Su Shiyi so much that her legs felt weak.

“Don’t scare my daughter.”

Gu Lang, being quite brave, gave a slap on the tiger’s head, as though he was just patting a kitten, not a tiger capable of tearing him apart with its claws at any moment.

It could only be said that the aura of a big boss was too overwhelming. After being slapped, the tiger didn’t say anything and obediently lay back down. Su Shiyi couldn’t help but notice that the tiger’s expression even seemed a little aggrieved.

…It must have been an illusion. The tiger’s gaze had been so fierce just now.

“Come over here.” Gu Lang didn’t get up to greet her but spoke to her from his seat. “Dad will catch fish for you. What kind of fish would you like?”

Su Shiyi glanced at his fishing bucket, which was empty. And yet, he was asking her to choose.

She casually said, “Let’s have black fish, it has fewer bones. I want to eat sauerkraut fish and spicy boiled fish, we can also use it for hot pot.”

She immediately planned out the menu. Was there anything else in Su Shiyi’s mind all day other than eating, drinking, and sleeping?

Gu Lang couldn’t help but silently complain about his daughter before picking up his fishing rod. When he lifted it from the shimmering water, a fat black fish came out.

Su Shiyi: ?

What was going on? Was there no basic rule to fishing? She hadn’t even seen the bobber move, and the rod wasn’t trembling—how did Gu Lang manage to pull up a fish exactly the type they needed?

She had only heard about American fish species being abundant. Could black fish be overpopulating too?

Gu Lang remained unfazed: “Alright, let’s head back. The little tiger cub is being raised at the villa, still not weaned.”

Su Shiyi’s gaze was full of suspicion: “Dad, there’s no way someone is wearing a wetsuit and hooking the fish onto your hook underwater, right?”

Gu Lang: …

“What nonsense are you talking? I’ve been fishing since before you were born.”

“I don’t believe it.” Su Shiyi swallowed. “Unless I get a try myself.”

It turns out that this lake is magical, whatever you want, it’s there. In America, it seems like people believe in Jesus more, so she decided to pray to God, asking for a giant catfish!

Gu Lang: “You can’t try, you don’t have a fishing license.”

Oh no, how unlucky.

Su Shiyi was a law-abiding young woman. Even in a foreign land, she never did anything illegal. She could only lower her head and prepare to head home with Gu Lang. But—wait, why did that obedient tiger get up again?

She screamed in fright, causing several bodyguards to block her in front. The tiger, unfazed by the commotion, showed no signs of aggression, only yawning in place.

Gu Lang turned around. “I think I haven’t introduced you to everyone. This is Isela, the father of the two tiger cubs at the villa. Don’t worry, he’s well-fed every day and never bites people.”

When Isela heard his name, he extended his front paw toward them. The sharp claws made Su Shiyi’s heart tremble. But with the bodyguards protecting her and trusting Gu Lang, she carefully reached out and held his tiger paw.

“Hello, Isela, I’m Shiyi.”

The tiger didn’t bite, as expected. Su Shiyi even felt like he gave her a nod—did that mean he liked her? Definitely!

People tend to get bolder, and after shaking hands with Isela without incident, Su Shiyi’s courage grew. Slowly, she extended her hand again and gently touched the big tiger’s head.

So soft, so fluffy… petting a big cat is this exciting?

Lost in the joy and excitement of actually petting a tiger, Isela suddenly lifted his head, scaring Su Shiyi so much that she nearly had a heart attack. But he didn’t bite her, instead, he nudged her wrist with his nose, as if trying to remember her scent.

Ahhh, what a good tiger! She couldn’t praise him enough!

Meanwhile,Milk Candy, who was in the pet travel box, was stunned. She had ruled the roost in Taihe, with fourteen cats and dogs as her little subordinates, thinking she was the most powerful cat in the world—

But why, why was that giant cat ahead? Was it really reasonable for it to be so big?

Milk candy: trembling in fear

People’s courage grows the more they push their limits. In just a few minutes, Su Shiyi went from trembling at the sight of the tiger to becoming close and intimate with him. Isela was an adorable tiger with a soft and cute heart hidden beneath his tough exterior.

When he lazily rolled over onto his back, inviting her to pet his belly, who could resist such a cuddly big cat?

Well, Su Shiyi couldn’t. She squatted down, taking deep breaths, feeling safe only with the bodyguards and caretakers nearby. But she was already able to stroke the tiger’s belly and even scratch his chin.

“Did you take a picture for me?” Su Shiyi looked at Kevin behind her. “It’s a tiger, right? What kind of tiger is it?”

“Don’t worry, Miss Shiyi, we’ve recorded a video for you. Isela is a Bengal tiger. There are also some mutated white tigers on the estate.”

Su Shiyi, who loves every cat she sees: !

What, there’s a white big cat too, is it as well-behaved as Isela? She’s totally going to fall for it!

The tigers are usually kept in the conservation area, and they only occasionally show interest in entering the villa when the Gu family visits. Since Isela’s cubs were there and he seemed to like the new Su Shiyi, he returned with them.

Su Shiyi’s beloved white tiger was still roaming freely outside. According to drone surveillance, it had run into the forest to rest.

As for how there could be a forest in the plains area of the estate—well, this is a small-scale transformation made possible by the Gu family’s money. In order to create the best ecological environment for the tigers, Gu Lang was willing to spend generously.

The villa in the Gu family’s natural estate resembled a grand palace. Su Shiyi didn’t even know how large it was, she could only see its full extent from the aerial view captured by the drone. It’s worth mentioning that half of the palace is actually a museum.

That’s right, it’s the Gu family’s private museum. It contains a lot of treasures, including world-famous paintings, antique artifacts, and everything else that Gu Lang is interested in. Su Shiyi felt that a random oil painting hanging in the corridor, which seemed plain and unremarkable, probably cost more than all the money she had spent recently.

The interior of the palace was luxurious, but having already seen the castle and the Taihe courtyard, Su Shiyi wasn’t surprised by such things anymore. The black fish that Gu Lang had caught was sent to the kitchen, while the sauerkraut and chili bought from Chinatown were still in the helicopter, on their way.

Gu Lang was still busy: “I’m going to the study to handle some things, you can find something to do on your own.”

How could he be like this? He had made his beloved daughter travel across the ocean with a single phone call, and barely exchanged a few words before sending her off on her own.

Well, Su Shiyi quickly forgave him. She nodded understandingly, telling him to go ahead and be busy, but she would still make sure to remind him when lunch time came.

“No need for you to remind me.” Gu Lang glanced at her. “I focus on my health, so my meals are always on time. Unlike you, who eats barbecue skewers and spicy hotpot at 11 PM.”

Su Shiyi: …Dad, why aren’t you following the script? How can I be a good daughter when you’re not cooperating with me!

Her face turned red: “I don’t usually do that, it’s just occasionally, just once or twice… maybe five or six times.”

Gu Lang didn’t respond, giving her a meaningful look before leaving. The study was a restricted area, so Isela was not allowed to go in. Instead, he followed Su Shiyi, wandering around the palace with her.

The servants here had strong mental fortitude, or perhaps they were so used to the tiger’s presence that they completely ignored it. Su Shiyi was worried that Isela might scare others, but in the end, the only one who was frightened by him was herself.

The tiger and the woman got along well, but Milk Candy, the cat in Su Shiyi’s arms, wasn’t so calm. As fellow members of the feline family, Milk Candy and Isela didn’t exactly get along, though they still maintained a surface-level harmony.

As a Bengal tiger, second only in size to the Siberian tiger, Isela had no interest in picking a fight with a ragdoll cat like Milk Candy. Milk Candy wanted to teach him a lesson, but she had a bit of self-awareness. Given their size difference, she knew she probably couldn’t win against this big cat…

How frustrating!

Su Shiyi took the two cats to the tiger cubs’ nursery. Isela, being quite perceptive, seemed to know that the cubs inside were his own, and he gestured through the glass, showing off to the two-legged creatures.

“See those two cute cubs inside? They’re mine.”

The tiger cubs hadn’t been named yet, and they were about the same size as Milk Candy. After disinfecting Isela and Milk Candy, Su Shiyi walked in, and the cubs stared at her with curious eyes.

Raised by humans, these cubs were very affectionate and showed no resistance when Su Shiyi hugged them one by one. Compared to the excitement of petting a big cat, holding these tiger cubs in her arms was even more to her liking.

They probably knew their tongues had barbs, so instead of biting, they rubbed their foreheads against her. After learning that they didn’t have names yet, Su Shiyi decided to name them Milk Foam (Milk Foam) and Milkshake.

Although their names didn’t match their father Isela’s style, little cubs were supposed to be adorable!

Cats are naturally jealous creatures, and despite the cubs’ small size, Milk Candy felt like the skies had cleared and the rain had stopped, as if she had won. So she confidently let out a loud meow, telling the cubs to scram—this two-legged creature was hers!

The tiger cubs: ?

Wait a minute, they were tigers! Even though they were still small, they had an innate superiority over a cat like you. How dare you?

Brother Milk Foam dismissed Milk Candy with a snort, immediately howling in return. Milk Candy, seeing that he didn’t even take her seriously, angrily tackled him and scratched his face with her paws.

Milk Foam, who had been spoiled since birth, couldn’t handle such humiliation. He wanted to fight back, butMilk Candy had already developed an overwhelming confidence from bullying the other cats and dogs at home. Her aura was so strong, and she could even make fierce expressions to intimidate him.

Milk Foam: …

Milk Foam backed down, and Milk Candy’s next target was Milkshake. The younger brother, Milkshake, was confused. He pointed at the large tiger, Isela, with his paw and howled, “That’s my dad!”

Isela didn’t want to pay attention to these two little troublemakers. If they couldn’t even defeat a cat, it was really embarrassing for a tiger!

Milk candy glanced at Isela, then at Milkshake, repeatedly looking back and forth. Su Shiyi thought she finally understood—little cats couldn’t act as they pleased. But unexpectedly,Milk Candy’s aura seemed to rise again.

Milk candy: “Meow meow meow?” (Is that your dad?)

Milkshake: “Awo awo awo.” (Yes, you can’t bully me! When I grow up, I’ll be as big as that!)

Milk candy looked at Isela, then at Milkshake, then at herself.

What was known: She was a cat, Milkshake was a cat. Isela was Milkshake’s father, and Milkshake would grow up to be as big as Isela.

The conclusion:Milk Candy, too, would grow up to be as big as Isela!

This conclusion was flawless!

OnceMilk Candy figured this out, she straightened up, and that day became a nightmare Milkshake would never forget.

As a Bengal tiger, he was pinned down by a ragdoll cat on the table, with several of his fur strands being pulled out. He lost his dignity as a tiger cub, and Milk Candy seized the throat of his fate.

“Meow meow meow!” (Call me ‘big brother’!)

Milkshake: ?

Impossible, he was a tiger! How could a little cat like you…

Ah, ah, it hurts! That evil cat is pulling my fur again!

Awo awo TAT” (Big brother)

Very well, this little brother seemed to understand his place.

After physically convincing Milkshake, Milk Candy sharpened her claws and turned her attention back to Milk Foam.

Milk Foam: …

Milk Foam sat obediently: “Awo~” (Big brother, hello)

Su Shiyi: ???

Damn, even though she couldn’t understand animal language, at least she wasn’t blind!

Her imagination: The two tiger cubs would teach Milk Candy a lesson, and Milk Candy would cry and beg her for comfort, then learn to behave and be a good cat from that point on.

The reality: Milk Candy taught the two tiger cubs a lesson, and the tiger cubs cried and begged her for comfort, becoming Milk Candy’s little brothers and learning to be good tigers.

Su Shiyi looked at Isela with speechless eyes. This is your son?

Isela: …

Isela flicked his tail, feeling guilty. What did his responsibility as a tiger dad have to do with this? Raising the cubs was the responsibility of the tigress.

In any case, educating Milk Candy was doomed to failure, and it only inflated her confidence further. Now, she truly felt like she was also a tiger.

If weaklings like Milk Foam and Milkshake could grow up to be as big as Isela, she would definitely be even more powerful than them!

She, Milk Candy, was destined to become the queen of all beasts!

Ohio didn’t actually have much interesting to offer, and Gu Lang had been busy, so Su Shiyi wasn’t too fond of moving around. Instead of going to tourist spots to take pictures, it was much more fun to search for tiger traces around the estate.

After lunch, Su Shiyi was pleased to have found the white tiger in the sanctuary. His looks made her heart flutter, but unfortunately, this aloof tiger wasn’t as familiar with her as Isela. He only allowed her to pet his head, and any attempt at further intimate contact was out of the question.

Well, being able to pet him was already quite nice. As the name suggests, the white tiger was white, with a pink nose, creamy fur, and chocolate stripes. Compared to the Bengal tigers, which were still somewhat common in America, white tigers were rare. To raise him, the estate had gone through numerous procedures, spending millions of dollars, and after passing the strictest animal protection evaluations, they were legally allowed to keep the white tiger.

Su Shiyi took a few photos with him, thanking the white tiger for cooperating. She didn’t disturb him too much, reluctantly bidding him farewell before leaving.

As she boarded the tour bus, Su Shiyi could still see the white tiger watching her leave.

“I want to come here often,” she gripped the railing, feeling a little melancholic, “Every six months—no, every three months, I’ll come back. I wonder if the white tiger will remember me next time I visit.”

Kevin: “Of course, you can come to the Natural Estate anytime. If you like, you can check the drone footage every day, and they’ll record the tigers’ movements in real-time.”

Such a thoughtful feature—amazing!

Su Shiyi happily returned to the villa on the estate, which resembled a palace. As soon as she entered, the three little kittens eagerly ran over, pawing at her pants.

Ah, it’s the cats’ clingy attack!

She picked up all the tiger cubs and kittens, gave each one a kiss from a distance, then went to play with Isela. The big tiger was lying on the carpet, taking a nap. Feeling like she was familiar with him, Su Shiyi wasn’t shy at all. She lay down next to him, snuggling up to his belly.

Isela only glanced at her once before allowing her to do as she pleased.Milk Candy, expertly claiming the spot in front of the two-legged beast’s chest, shot a warning glare at the little brothers behind her, telling them not to fight her for the spot.

Milk Foam and Milkshake, feeling wronged, could only retreat and curl up in the crooks of Su Shiyi’s arms, allowing her to enjoy the ultimate joy of having them snuggled on either side.

The room dimmed, and Su Shiyi played a slow-paced artistic film on the projector. As the vintage-style dialogue filled the room, the afternoon drowsiness swept over her and the four cats, and everyone gradually fell asleep.

After finishing his official duties, Gu Lang came downstairs to find his daughter, and what he saw was this warm and touching scene.

Gu Lang smiled lightly, opened his phone’s camera, and captured this beautiful moment.

Then, he zoomed in on the screen, taking a close-up shot of Su Shiyi, who was drooling.
