Chapter 18: Nobody Can Understand Dog Language
The middle-aged woman saw Jiang Yuan’s stance as if she was about to take action, and suddenly became flustered. “What are you doing? Do you want to hit someone?”
“Hit you?” Jiang Yuan stopped in front of her, crossing her arms, her tone dismissive and casual. “I’m afraid I’ll dirty my hands.”
The middle-aged woman’s face, as plump as a steamed bun, showed anger. “What do you mean?”
Jiang Yuan said unhurriedly, “If the surveillance doesn’t record who bullied the puppy, then let the puppy tell us the truth itself.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman laughed in anger. Seeing the curious gazes of passersby, she immediately shouted, “Everyone, come and see how detestable this family is!”
Many passersby were drawn to watch the gossip.
“Her child injured my pet dog and bullied my child!”
“They want an apology and compensation and said they would check the surveillance!”
“The surveillance didn’t show anything, so to avoid compensation, they claimed to let the dog tell the truth. How is that possible? They are clearly trying to shirk responsibility. Everyone, please help us judge this!”
The middle-aged woman’s tearful accusations made it seem as if she had suffered great humiliation.
Many people, after hearing only her side of the story, began to condemn Jiang Yuan, with some even taking out their phones to record.
“This young lady looks so young, why is her quality so poor?”
“What’s the use of being beautiful if your character is bad!”
“How can a dog tell the truth? Dogs can’t talk!”
“…”
Momo had never experienced such a scene before and felt wronged and scared. “Mom, everyone is scolding my aunt, what should we do?”
Zhan Zhan also frowned, his small face full of worry.
I didn’t expect my aunt would stand up to protect her sister!
Although my aunt always bullied him and his sister, she was very good to them today.
Zhan Zhan thought, should he also protect his aunt?
He wanted to be brave like Ultraman.
Jiang Yuan didn’t care what the onlookers said about her; she just wanted to clear Momo’s name.
She looked at the disheveled little puppy in the pet cage, about to say something, when her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a small figure, like a whirlwind.
Zhan Zhan spread his arms in front of Jiang Yuan, his clear voice trembling slightly, “Don’t bully my aunt!”
Jiang Yuan gazed at his small figure in astonishment, her eyes feeling as if they were burning, and a warmth surged in her heart, making the whole world feel warm.
“Zhan Zhan,” she said, walking over to the child and placing her hand on his crown of the head, softly saying, “It’s okay, your aunt will handle it.”
Zhan Zhan turned his head, his clear bright eyes filled with worry.
Jiang Yuan gave the child a reassuring look, then swept over the onlookers with a half-smile.
“Someone just hit the nail on the head, how can a dog talk? Dogs can talk, they just can’t speak human language.”
The middle-aged woman immediately sneered, “Then you said you wanted the dog to tell the truth, and no one can understand dog language!”
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, “So it’s a coincidence, I just happen to be able to communicate with pets and understand their language.”
The middle-aged woman froze for a few seconds, and then she and her companion burst into laughter.
Not only them, but even the onlookers found it unbelievable.
“Laughable, how can anyone understand animals talk?”
“Definitely can’t understand, they must be making things up!”
“This is outrageous, to avoid paying money, they claim to understand dog language!”
“…”
A smile played on Jiang Yuan’s rosy lips as she calmly said, “Then let’s try it.”
She took Zhan Zhan’s hand and walked towards the pet cage, squatting down in front of the puppy and looking at it.
This was a Samoyed, its snow-white fur stained red in several places, its flesh split open, revealing bright red meat.
Probably due to the pain, it curled up, trembling all over.

Jiang Yuan softly said, “Hello little one, my name is Jiang Yuan. Are you in pain? Can we talk?”
The little Samoyed slowly opened its eyes to look at her and let out a weak, low whine, “Can you understand Xiao Bai?”
Jiang Yuan: “Yes.”
The little Samoyed whimpered, “Sister Jiang Yuan, Xiao Bai is in so much pain, can you save Xiao Bai?”
Jiang Yuan frowned, “I will find a way to save you, but I want to ask you a few questions now.”
The little Samoyed mustered its strength despite the pain, “Okay!”
“Hey, this young lady says one sentence, and the puppy answers back. Could it be that they really understand?”
“Impossible! Dogs naturally like to respond to people!”
Jiang Yuan ignored the surrounding chatter and continued to communicate with the Samoyed, “How did you get these injuries?”
The little Samoyed said, “Xuan Xuan did it! It hurts so much!”
Jiang Yuan: “Then why doesn’t he admit it?”
The little Samoyed said, “He must be afraid of being scolded! He’s always like this, his mom was beaten to death by him with a stick! Xuan Xuan also asked everyone to help him, and he treated them to McDonald’s!”
Jiang Yuan turned to look at the group of children, among whom only a chubby boy with curly hair stood out.
He must be the Xuan Xuan the Samoyed mentioned.
“You should rest, I’ll take you to the pet hospital later,” Jiang Yuan said, standing up.
Zhan Zhan followed her closely, his dark eyes brimming with admiration.
My aunt is so amazing, she can talk to a puppy!
Jiang Yuan approached the middle-aged woman, her voice cold, “I have already clarified. The injuries on your Xiao Bai were caused by a child named Xuan Xuan, and it has nothing to do with my child.”
As the words fell, the expression of the chubby boy named Xuan Xuan changed. He glanced around nervously and then began to throw a tantrum.
“You’re talking nonsense! I didn’t hit Xiao Bai! It was your bad girl who hit Xiao Bai! Fei Fei, am I right?”
Fei Fei, who was called by name, was the little girl who had initially accused Momo.
She quickly said, “Yes! Brother Xuan Xuan didn’t hit Xiao Bai, she did!”
Fei Fei pointed at Momo.
Momo, with red-rimmed eyes, retorted fiercely, “I didn’t!”
The short-haired woman was unhappy when she heard Jiang Yuan shifting the blame to her son.
“My Xuan Xuan is kind-hearted and would never harm small animals! Stop slandering my son!”
Jiang Yuan ignored the agitated short-haired woman and looked at Fei Fei and two other little girls.
“Xiao Bai told me that you framed my child in order to get McDonald’s.”
Hearing this, Fei Fei and the two little sisters widened their eyes simultaneously.
Xuan Xuan, protected in his biological mother’s arms, also looked shocked.
How could she know about the McDonald’s incident?
It wasn’t the first time these children had done something wrong, so they tacitly denied it.
“We didn’t!”
“Yes, you’re talking nonsense!”
Xiao Bai in the pet cage mustered all his strength to accuse, “Liars, you are all liars!”
Jiang Yuan: “Xiao Bai says you are lying.”
The middle-aged woman said angrily, “This person is clearly pretending to shirk responsibility! Everyone must stand up for us!”
