I Unlocked Beast Language and Became a Bigshot After My Rebirth! Chapter 14

VIP Card

“I recognized him. He's Jing Mo.” Xia Xin replied calmly.

The pet shop staff smiled and said, “I knew it! Mr. Jing is so popular, and you should know him. But why did you react so calmly after seeing him? Most people would be shocked and excited when they meet a big star. I remember the first time I saw Mr. Jing, I was dumbfounded and thought I was dreaming.”

Xia Xin did not know how to explain, so she awkwardly smiled and said, “I'm not a fan.”

After Layle finished blow-drying, the pet shop staff applied some medicine to its wounds.

Just as Xia Xin was about to leave with Layle, the curtain of the grooming room was lifted, and another pet shop staff walked in and said to Xia Xin, “Ms. Xia, the owner of that husky asked me to apologize to you on his behalf.”

Xia Xin was taken aback.

The pet shop staff then took out a delicately crafted VIP card and handed it to Xia Xin. “The gentleman just bought a six-month VIP card and asked me to give it to you.”

Holding the VIP card, Xia Xin felt complicated.

Although Jing Mo's dog lacked manners, she could not dislike Jing Mo himself. She could only sympathize with him for owning a dog that did not match his own temperament.

Looking at the VIP card in the pet shop staff's hand, Xia Xin felt that Jing Mo did not need to compensate her. It was just a small matter, and she was not that petty of a person.

‘Could it be that Jing Mo was afraid she would be dissatisfied with him and would post negative comments online, so he specially expressed his apologies?' Xia Xin thought.

In the end, Xia Xin accepted the VIP card. Since it was a gift, there was no harm in accepting it. She could not let Layle be bullied by that husky for nothing.

Not far from the pet shop, a black minivan was parked by the roadside. The van door opened, and Sun Hu jumped out. Seeing Jing Mo walking over with the husky, Sun Hu hurriedly approached and said, “I called you several times, Why didn't you answer? And you still have the mood to walk the dog?”

“It was on Silent Mode.” Jing Mo answered matter-of-factly.

Sun Hu fell silent and chose to give up discussing the matter further. He said, “Get in the car quickly. The gala is about to start, and it will take at least an hour to do your styling. There are several top executives from global major brands at the gala. Take the opportunity to learn some basic information about them and try to chat with them later.”

The current career plan for Jing Mo, set by his company, was to maintain his popularity and fame as a top domestic male celebrity while expanding into the international market.

As Sun Hu continued talking nonstop, Jing Mo's face remained expressionless. He looked at Bobo, who seemed somewhat impatient by his feet, but his mind was filled with the slight frown of the girl at the pet shop.

At that time, Bobo suddenly went crazy and yelled at the stray dog, causing the owner of the stray dog to frown. The faint anger made her exquisite features appear even more vibrant, like a thorny wild rose.

Before leaving the pet shop with Bobo, Jing Mo had the pet shop staff issue a VIP card and asked them to give it to the girl who owned the stray dog. Jing Mo knew that this gesture was somewhat unnecessary.

Jing Mo was not usually someone who liked getting involved in unnecessary matters, and he maintained a detached attitude toward everyone and everything. But for some reason, when he thought of the slight frown on that girl's face, he felt like he should do something.

‘The pet shop staff called the girl “Ms. Xia,” and her parents called her “Xin” at the hospital. So, perhaps her name was Xia Xin?' Jing Mo wondered.

Bobo, seeing its owner seemingly looking at it but also seemingly not, wagged its tail in confusion.

“Did you even listen to what I said?” Sun Hu asked, his voice became dry and hoarse. When he looked up, he saw Jing Mo staring at a dog, and he suddenly felt greatly humiliated.

…

After returning home, Xia Xin found a large cardboard box and laid an old piece of clothing on it. It would be Layle's temporary bed.

Layle happily climbed into the box and poked its head out, looking at Xia Xin with bright eyes. It no longer showed the unease and nervousness it had at the pet shop.

Perhaps seeing that Xia Xin did not abandon it, Layle finally felt at ease.

After freshening up and lying on the bed, Xia Xin opened a shopping app and made some purchases. She also had a video call with her parents, telling them that she had picked up a stray dog and planned to adopt it, naming it Layle.
