"Boss, keep that laptop for me, I'll go get some cash."

Hearing that he couldn't use a card, Chu Ge said to the boss and walked out of the store.

He originally asked Shu Lulu to wait for him there, but Shu Lulu couldn't sit still and followed him out.

"Keep this Apple laptop for me too."

With a glance at Chu Ge's back, Tan Jingjing raised her chin and arrogantly told the boss, then followed in Chu Ge and Shu Lulu's footsteps.

Hmph, it's just withdrawing money, perfect, it's a good chance to show up Shu Lulu and let her see what it means to be rich!

Today is the weekend, and there were many people out shopping. Earlier, when Tan Jingjing passed by the bank, she saw a lot of people queuing at the ATM to withdraw money.

Walking along, Tan Jingjing played with the bank card in her hand, eagerly wanting to see the envious, jealous, even inferior looks that Chu Ge and Shu Lulu would soon show.

"Mister, she's followed us again, I really have to hand it to her," hearing footsteps behind them, Shu Lulu turned her head to look and said to Chu Ge, quite speechless.

"If she wants to follow, let her. Anyway, it won't cause you any harm," Chu Ge said indifferently, pressing the down button at the elevator entrance.

The elevator doors opened, and Chu Ge and Shu Lulu walked in.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, a white women's handbag suddenly flew through the gap and fell inside the elevator.

Looking at the bag that fell at their feet, Shu Lulu was stunned and said uncertainly, "What kind of crazy game is Tan Jingjing playing? Throwing her bag in here, is she trying to hit us?"

"She probably meant to use her bag to stop the elevator doors and wanted to come in herself?"

As the elevator began its descent, Chu Ge said with amusement.

Just as Chu Ge thought, that was exactly Tan Jingjing's plan. She had seen this trick in TV dramas more than once, and in her moment of panic, she thought of this method.

Unfortunately, her bag didn't block the elevator doors like on TV but descended with the elevator instead.

Tan Jingjing was so frustrated, worried that Chu Ge and Shu Lulu might steal something from her bag, she hurriedly ran towards the escalator.

When she got down to the first floor by escalator and saw Chu Ge and Shu Lulu standing at the elevator entrance looking at her with amused expressions, she was so frustrated that her expression turned complex.

Taking back the bag Chu Ge casually tossed to her, Tan Jingjing's face twitched, but she said nothing and opened the bag to check its contents.

Seeing everything was there, Tan Jingjing walked ahead of Chu Ge and Shu Lulu with a cold face and went to the bank next to the mall.

There was a long line at the ATM, and every window was crowded. Tan Jingjing smirked with a sense of superiority, held her bank card, and glanced back at Chu Ge and Shu Lulu.

She had planned to join the long queue and then walk into the VIP room under their envious gazes. However, what she didn't expect was that Chu Ge showed no intention of queuing but walked towards the VIP room instead, under her inexplicable gaze.

Not only was Tan Jingjing surprised, but Shu Lulu was also a bit taken aback. However, with her unconditional trust in Chu Ge, she didn't ask much and continued to follow him.

This time, Tan Jingjing wouldn't let it go. Just as Chu Ge walked into the VIP room, she too frowned and walked in.

However, at the same time that the three of them entered the VIP room, none of them noticed that a pair of eyes had been watching them since they entered.

"Miss Tan is here, please have a seat. Can I get you a glass of juice? Are you here to handle business for your father today?"

In the VIP room, a middle-aged man wearing a manager badge and a suit saw Tan Jingjing and immediately greeted her with a smile.

"No need for juice, just water will do. I'm not handling any business today, just withdrawing some cash with this Golden Card, twenty thousand."

Emphasizing the words "Golden Card" and giving Chu Ge a sidelong glance, Tan Jingjing sat on a chair in the VIP room, crossed her legs, and handed the bank manager the Golden Card.

Taking the Golden Card, the bank manager smiled politely, "Alright, please wait a moment, Miss Tan."

Seeing the bank manager treating her and Chu Ge like air and Tan Jingjing with a face full of superiority, Shu Lulu suddenly felt quite annoyed.

Weren't she and Chu Ge the first to enter? Is this bank manager blind?

But seeing that Chu Ge showed no reaction, Shu Lulu could only suppress her grievances and dissatisfaction, sitting with him on the sofa in the VIP room.

In Shu Lulu's mind, since Chu Ge brought her in here, it indicated that he had the right to be here. The reason he was silent was probably because his bank card didn't have a higher priority than Tan Jingjing's.

After all, Tan Jingjing had pulled out a Golden Card.

Actually, Shu Lulu didn't really understand how valuable a Golden Card was, but just hearing those words instinctively made her feel it should be quite impressive.

Tan Jingjing, enjoying the air conditioning, drinking the bottled water handed to her by the bank manager, and feeling Shu Lulu's gaze upon her, felt completely at ease, from head to toe, as if experiencing tranquility and joy.

When she took back the Golden Card and the two thousand dollars returned by the bank manager, she didn't hurry to leave but sat on the sofa next to Shu Lulu.

"Shu Lulu, the air conditioning feels pretty cool, huh? But it's enough to enjoy it for a bit; maybe it's about time to queue outside? Not everyone can get a Golden Card, and this is not a place just anyone can enter."

Although Shu Lulu wasn't very confident, she didn't lose out verbally, "Tch, Tan Jingjing, do you think my uncle could get into this room without a Golden Card?"

"Hehe, that might not be the case, huh?"

Tan Jingjing spoke smugly as she slowly put the two thousand dollars cash into her bag and deliberately toyed with the Golden Card in her hand in front of Shu Lulu.

Meanwhile, the bank manager finally turned his gaze to Chu Ge and asked formally, "Sir, what service do you need?"

Chu Ge stood up from the sofa with a smile, "Oh, withdraw money, six hundred."

At the sound of his voice, Tan Jingjing immediately curled her lips, shook her head sarcastically, and her sense of superiority grew even stronger.

"Hey, Shu Lulu, where did you find this weirdo uncle? Does he even know..."

Halfway through her sentence, Tan Jingjing's pupils suddenly shrank, and the latter half of her words got stuck in her throat with a face looking like she'd seen a ghost.

The odd uncle actually pulled out a Platinum Card from his pocket? Are you kidding me? Where did he get that?

"Platinum Card?"

The bank manager was also taken aback, subconsciously uttering those words, immediately sizing up Chu Ge.

When he took the Platinum Card to confirm its authenticity, especially after seeing the cardholder was Qin Ruojing, his face instantly filled with a deferential smile, his attitude becoming as warmly accommodating as if seeing a family patriarch, completely different from the previous feigned politeness.

"Sir, so you wish to withdraw, right? Would you like something to drink first? Or perhaps I could brew a pot of tea for you?"

"No need."

Upon hearing Chu Ge's refusal, the bank manager felt a twinge of regret, assuming Chu Ge was begrudging him for his earlier attitude.

However, as there's no remedy for regret in this world, he could only help Chu Ge with the withdrawal, then respectfully hand back the Platinum Card, the six hundred dollars, and the receipt with both hands.

Taking the money and card, Chu Ge glanced at the receipt and tossed it into the trash can at hand, then called out to Shu Lulu, "Lulu, let's go."

Seeing Tan Jingjing, who was in a daze, oblivious as the Golden Card in her hand fell to the ground, Shu Lulu felt utterly delighted as all her unease turned into satisfaction!

After patting Tan Jingjing's shoulder and pointing at the Golden Card on the floor, Shu Lulu then grinned and left with Chu Ge.

Patting by Shu Lulu brought Tan Jingjing back to her senses; she picked up the Golden Card from the ground, looked at the backs of Chu Ge and Shu Lulu, her face shifting colors between pale and flushed.

Thinking about showing off the Golden Card in front of others just moments ago, Tan Jingjing's cheeks flushed warm with embarrassment, a feeling akin to being slapped hard.

"Miss Tan, do you... know that Platinum Cardholder?"

While Tan Jingjing was caught in a mix of shame and rage, the bank manager hesitantly asked.

"Don't know!"

With a stern face, Tan Jingjing replied curtly, her brows tightly knit, her gaze inadvertently catching sight of the receipt in the trash can.

The balance shown was... over eight hundred thousand?

Tan Jingjing's lips twitched, recounting it several times before confirming she hadn't read it wrong after all.

And when she noticed the cardholder's name, she paused again.

Qin Ruojing? Obviously a woman's name, isn't it? Why does this name sound somewhat familiar?

Leaving the VIP lounge with feelings of extreme frustration, Tan Jingjing lost all interest in returning to the mall to buy a computer. Now she knew that the "uncle" Shu Lulu found wasn't as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Probably, as long as that uncle is around, if she faces Shu Lulu again, it would only end in self-humiliation!

"Ugh... I wonder what kind of background that uncle has and if he'll cause trouble for me because of Shu Lulu?"

Carrying a pair of shoes she stomped and broke, along with an outfit worth two thousand bucks that she didn't even like, Tan Jingjing sighed irritably. Just as she was about to walk out of the bank, someone suddenly patted her on the back.

Already feeling apprehensive, Tan Jingjing was startled by the pat; the bag in her left hand fell to the ground, and the outfit scattered out at once.

Soon, in the crowded bank, curious glances turned toward Tan Jingjing.

Seeing this scene, several men had the same thought; this outfit... doesn't seem to suit this young lady, right?
