Chi Jiao accepted the money and nodded seriously. “Now, Miss Jiang, you will need to do some things to help change your fate.”
“What things?” Jiang Ruoxin asked.
“On your way home, you need to walk 30 steps, then stand on one leg and spin three times before barking like a dog thrice.” Chi Jiao pinched her own waist to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
“What did you say?!” Jiang Ruoxin widened her eyes.
“Miss Jiang, people who are born in the year of the dog have a lot of yang energy. You need someone who is born in the year of the dog to help you gather yang energy. If you bark loudly on the street, you will attract the attention of those born in the year of the dog and gather more yang energy. Only then can you successfully change your fate!” Chi Jiao lied with a straight face.
Jiang Ruoxin thought about how she would look like barking like a dog on the streets.
It would be humiliating.
She wouldn’t just be attracting the attention of people born in the year of the dog, she would attract the attention of everyone on the streets!
“No, I can’t do it.” Jiang Ruoxin couldn’t stand to do such an embarrassing thing.
“Is that so? Then, I can’t help you. Miss Jiang, it looks like you can only give up. I’ll return the money to you now. You should just resign to your fate.” Chi Jiao sighed. “Miss Jiang, you have to believe me. If I was lying, it would be enough for me to just take your money, right? Why do you think I am asking you to do such an embarrassing thing? To cast aside your dignity?”
“Because… because it’s necessary?” Jiang Ruoxin asked tentatively.
“That’s right. You can only change your fate by casting away your dignity, casting away your past, and collecting yang energy.” Chi Jiao spouted nonsense in all seriousness.
“But if… if it doesn’t work…” Jiang Ruoxin was still conflicted.
Chi Jiao smiled gently. “If it doesn’t work, you can come to look for me anytime. This shop will be here.”
“Alright, then.” Jiang Ruoxin took a deep breath and was about to leave.
“Wait, we have to start now.” Chi Jiao didn’t want to miss such an exciting scene.
Jiang Ruoxin gritted her teeth and gave it her all. After taking 30 steps, she suddenly stopped and spun around on one leg. She then squeezed out the words “woof woof woof” from her mouth.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Chi Jiao sighed unhappily. “Miss Jiang, why don’t I just return the money to you?”
“No! No, I’ll bark. I’ll bark louder.” Jiang Ruoxin’s face turned red from embarrassment. She started to spin around again and shouted, “Woof woof woof!”
Chi Jiao dug her own fingers into her palm to stop herself from laughing.
Enduring the urge to burst out laughing, she applauded Jiang Ruoxin. “That’s it, Miss Jiang. You did really well.”
“Thank you, Master!” Jiang Ruoxin nodded happily. She mustered her courage and took another 30 steps forward. She raised her head and barked loudly.
Chi Jiao smiled as she watched Jiang Ruoxin leave. She could hear her high-pitched barking even through the door.
“Hahahahaha, hahahaha! I can’t take it anymore. I’m dying of laughter.” Chi Jiao laughed until her tears flowed. She held her stomach and sat down, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Chi Jiao really wanted to tell Quan Jue about this. She pulled out the tape from the surveillance camera and closed the shop to return home.
Meanwhile, at the Chi Residence.
Quan Jue’s bodyguard hurried in and ran straight to him. “Boss, something happened.”
