Chapter 35 Being Cheated
Du Yunkai reached out his hand and was, as expected, scolded: "What's going on? Aren't cats like this usually very gentle and obedient? Why is it so bad-tempered?" His mother also had one, but it was a long-haired cat with a lighter color than this one, and it especially liked to cling to people.
Wenxi held Pengpeng's hand and said, "It seems to be a stress reaction. He gets aggressive when anyone touches him."
"Is it true?" Du Yunkai didn't believe it.
Wenxi reached out his hand and was scolded.
Xu Qingsong also came over and pretended to reach out for a hug, but was still scolded.
Liu Wangxue slapped his hand away and gently stroked the cat twice: "Okay, don't mess with it."
While we were playing, we arrived at Jialin Pet Shop.
"You guys sit down first." Jialin pointed at the sofa, "I'll go find some materials."
The sofa was a bit old and had some unknown stains on it. Several people were a bit disgusted and didn't want to sit on it.
Xu Qingsong took apart the plastic stool in the corner, and Du Yunkai and he wiped it with wet tissues on the coffee table before they sat down.
After waiting for a long time, Jialin still didn't come out.
Wenxi asked, "Isn't he just talking nonsense? Is he talking about something that doesn't exist?"
Liu Wangxue didn't care: "It's fine if there isn't one, it's convenient for bargaining." She just wanted to raise a cat and didn't care about its pedigree or nobility.
A few minutes later, Jialin came out with a few sheets of paper: "These are all electronic files. My printer is a bit old, so it took some time."
Liu Wangxue took it and flipped through it one by one. In addition to vaccinations and physical examinations, there was also a CFA certificate.
"Let me ask you," Liu Wangxue looked at Jialin, pointed at the English word "NEUTER" on the green paper with her slender fingers, and asked, "What does this word mean?"
Jialin pretended to take a look and said, "How would I know? I don't understand English."
The other three also leaned over to take a look. Xu Qingsong and Wenxi burst out laughing, but Du Yunkai was confused. What was so funny about “castration”?
Xu Qingsong said: "He said this cat has breeding rights."
Du Yunkai had a subtle expression.
"That's right," Jialin said with certainty.
Liu Wangxue had already taken out his mobile phone, opened the browser, entered the URL, registered an account at random, entered the CFA's Herman Online system, and entered the query according to the number on the certificate.
The result showed "Sorry, the cat registration number you provided does not exist." Liu Wangxue handed the phone to Jialin and said, "The certificate is fake."
"How is that possible! I bought it from a good friend!" Jialin looked shocked. He understood the word "Sorry". Generally, words that start with "Sorry" are not good words.
Liu Wangxue entered the certificate numbers of the cat’s parents again, and the search results were the same.
This is a scam. Liu Wangxue looked at Jialin's almost broken expression, took back the phone, and pointed at "NEUTER" again: "Look up what this word means."
Jialin mechanically took out his mobile phone, typed in letters one by one, and stared at the translation result for a long time without saying a word.
Several people looked at him, and then saw him call that good friend.
"Hello, the number you dialed is unavailable. Please check before dialing."
Jialin looked at Liu Wangxue. His buddy had cheated him. The certificate was fake, which meant the pedigree and breeding rights were also fake. If everything was fake, he wouldn't be able to sell it at a high price! In anger, he made a final struggle: "But this cat is indeed of top quality!"
Xu Qingsong said: "I just checked. Putting aside other things, this color number does not look like 12, but more like 11."
Du Yunkai felt that he was really scheming. He could distinguish the colors in just a short while.
Liu Wangxue looked at the time. It was already past lunch time. People were hungry, and the dog should be hungry too. What's more, Pengpeng's gastrointestinal disease had not yet healed, so she wanted to finish it quickly.
She asked Jialin: "How much did you pay for it? If you are still willing to sell it now, I will add a little money to the original price and take it away."
Jialin must want to sell it. It takes too much trouble to keep a cat like this. He has been focusing on this cat for more than a month, hoping to sell it for a good price. Who knew that he was cheated by that bastard? Wait, he must find someone!
Under the gazes of Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai who were trying to "talk nicely", Jialin did not dare to ask for an exorbitant price and said, "I spent three thousand on it."
Liu Wangxue said: "Okay, I'll give you six thousand."
"Then I also took him to check-ups, vaccinations, beauty treatments, and his food, playthings, and other things he used to eat and use over the past month, all of which cost money." Jialin counted them out and said, "You, add some more."
Wenxi deliberately advised Liu Wangxue, but actually said to Jialin: "Think carefully, this cat is now equivalent to a 'three-no product'. What if something goes wrong after you buy it?"
Jialin quickly retorted: "This medical examination report is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask." He then said to Liu Wangxue: "Really, I'm selling it sincerely. You can at least give me a little more. You can't let me lose money, right?"
Liu Wangxue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, eight thousand, no more."
Jialin said, "Nine thousand! Is nine thousand okay?" He walked to the cabinet and took out the cat bed, cat scratching board, cat teaser, cat bowl and other small things one by one, "I will give all these to you, as my farewell gift to it." Then he took out a bag of cat food.
Liu Wangxue nodded under his expectant gaze.
Jialin happily took the money, helped her pack the gifts, and sent them all the way to the alley. On the way back, they passed by the pet shop that Liu Wangxue and the others had entered for the first time, and were stopped by the owner.
The shop owner asked him with a smile: "Is it sold?"
"Don't mention it!" Jialin said, "I'm so angry! Mao Chang, that bastard, dared to cheat me!"
"Oh, that's bad," the shop owner pulled Jialin inside, "I also bought a few from him and haven't sold them yet. Can you help me check if they are fake?"
Liu Wangxue and three others returned to the parking lot and got in the car.
The cat still maintained the same posture and never changed. Liu Wangxue wanted to put it in the cat bag, but it didn't want to.
Xu Qingsong checked the time and said as he drove out, "Let's go eat first."
Everyone agreed and they were all indeed hungry.
Liu Wangxue took out some snacks from Pengpeng's bag and handed them to Wenxi. Wenxi refused and said, "What are you doing? You can't eat dog food even if you are hungry!"
Pengpeng saw its snack and barked.
Liu Wangxue felt that she must have fainted from hunger to say such a thing: "I'm not asking you to eat, I'm asking you to feed Pengpeng."
The two grown men in front laughed out loud.
Wenxi couldn't help laughing, but he knocked on the back of the chair and said, "What are you laughing at? Just focus on driving!" Then he tore open the package and fed it to Pengpeng, who finished it in just a few bites.
The cat in Liu Wangxue's arms suddenly moved, its little nose twitching, and it poked its head towards the source of the smell.
