Chapter 86 The Club Incident
A woman wearing black-rimmed glasses and an old-fashioned business suit arrived; she seemed to be the manager here.
"Where did you get this black card?"
Bai Guanqun said irritably, "What business is it of yours where I came from?"
The manager looked at Bai Guanqun's black card and said, "There are only a handful of people in the world who have this card. Where did you, a young girl, get it?"
That expression was as if Bai Guanqun had stolen it.
"Are you implying that my card was stolen?"
The manager looked at Bai Guanqun with disdain: "Your entire outfit, including your clothes and shoes, doesn't even cost five hundred yuan. Are you even a person who owns this card?"
This was the first time Xu Yijing had ever seen such a snobbish staff member. Although he was usually timid, he couldn't put on airs as the young master of the Xu family in front of outsiders, and with Bai Guanqun around, he was also quite assertive: "Do you know who her father is?"
The man with black-rimmed glasses looked at Bai Guanqun with disdain: "Didn't her mother tell her?"
This sentence directly angered Bai Guanqun.
"Give me back my card, or I'll never forgive you."
The woman with the black-rimmed glasses became even more agitated, refusing to give Bai Guanqun the money and even telling the receptionist to call the police.
Bai Guanqun stopped moving once he saw that the police had been called and just sat in the lobby.
Bai Guanqun casually chatted with Xu Yijing about junior high school courses.
The man with the black-rimmed glasses assumed they were repeat offenders and ordered someone to keep an eye on them.
Bai Guanqun casually remarked, "Don't apologize to me later, I won't accept it."
The woman with black-rimmed glasses sneered, "You're so young and already not learning anything good. I've seen plenty like you."
The police arrived shortly after.
The police officer held up the black card and asked her, "How did you get this card?"
Seeing that the police were much more serious, Bai Guanqun obediently answered the police's question: "My mother's boyfriend gave it to me."
"Would your mother's boyfriend give you this card?"
"Why not give it to him? He wants to marry my mother, so who else should he please if not me?"
Xu Yijing, seeing that it was about time, said, "Her mother's boyfriend is my brother, and my brother is Xu Qingmin."
Upon hearing this name, more and more people gathered around, none of them believing the two children's fabricated story. However, the police still diligently conducted their investigation.
"Give me your brother's phone number."
However, Xu Yijing didn't give it directly. Xu Qingmin was his brother, but it was his own daughter who could decide whether or not to call him that.
Xu Yijing turned to Bai Guanqun and asked, "Should we call out?"
Bai Guanqun rolled his eyes: "I won't call you. If you suspect that I stole this card, you should provide evidence instead of making things difficult for a child like me. So far, I can prove that I am the person who uses this card. I have this card and the PIN. If a rich person loses their card, they can report it lost or change the PIN. Besides, what right does a business have to confiscate my card and call the police? So many people are watching, and they all think I'm a thief. It's very damaging to my mental health."
The man with black-rimmed glasses stretched his neck and said, "We have an obligation to cooperate with the police investigation. You're so young and you have a card that can swipe for tens of millions. Shouldn't we be suspicious?"
Bai Guanqun bluntly said, "You're using this card to see if you can meet Xu Qingmin, right? I heard my mother's boyfriend is the most eligible bachelor in Jianghai City, right? Someone like you? Xu Qingmin wouldn't even look at him."
The woman with black-rimmed glasses blushed instantly: "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat?"
Bai Guanqun laughed and said, "He got angry out of embarrassment, hahaha."
The woman with black-rimmed glasses told the police, "The two children cannot provide any information about the origin of this card, so we cannot accept them. Please proceed according to procedure."
Bai Guanqun said speechlessly, "Do I need to provide proof of income every time I go to a business establishment to make a purchase?"
The woman with black-rimmed glasses adopted a righteous demeanor: "All businesses have an obligation to provide information to the police if they suspect the source of money is unclear."
Bai Guanqun thought about it and realized that the other person had a point. They looked down on her at first because she was reluctant to spend money when she came in. Now that they knew the card belonged to Xu Qingmin, they should try their best to meet Xu Qingmin.
They're really desperate to get even the slightest connection with Xu Qingmin.
Judging from the looks of it, this woman won't let her off the hook today without an adult, but she refuses to call Xu Qingmin, just to infuriate the woman.
Bai Guanqun then called his mother.
Bai Guanqun knew that his mother and Lao Xu were usually very busy, and even if he called them, it would be their assistants or secretaries who came at this time.
Sure enough, it was the secretary who arrived, someone Bai Guanqun had never seen before.
Song Shiyu immediately provided the police with some proof. The police glanced at the woman with black-rimmed glasses and left.
Bai Guanqun gave a playful smile: "Don't go, you haven't apologized to me yet."
Bai Guanqun waited for that snobbish woman to apologize, but Song Shiyu simply told her to leave.
Bai Guanqun immediately stopped him: "Apologize!"
The woman with black-rimmed glasses felt she had to apologize, so she reluctantly said, "I'm sorry."
Bai Guanqun wanted to make things difficult for the manager again, but Song Shiyu stopped him, saying, "Don't become unforgiving just because you've gained a little power. That makes you seem petty and narrow-minded."
Bai Guanqun had just retorted, but then she thought that if it were Lao Xu, he probably wouldn't want her to be so unforgiving, so she held back.
She angrily lifted her foot and left first.
Ignoring Bai Guanqun's temper, Song Shiyu said to Xu Yijing, "Young Master Xu, think carefully before you approach anyone. Don't just associate with anyone."
Xu Yijing stood up, striking a pose befitting the young master of the Xu family: "Secretary Song, it seems you're meddling a bit too much."
Song Shiyu put on his standard professional smile: "You are a real rich young master. If you keep hanging out with ordinary people, your mother will be unhappy."
Xu Yijing looked at Song Shiyu curiously: "I don't think you're any better than a commoner. You're a sycophant with a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance. You want to be my sister-in-law?"
Xu Yijing left those words and went after Bai Guanqun.
Song Shiyu watched Xu Yijing's retreating figure and said, "Who knows? Song Yilin is pretty, but marrying into a wealthy family isn't just about being pretty."
After coming out, Song Shiyu ignored them and left directly.
Bai Guanqun felt increasingly uneasy and nudged Xu Yijing, asking, "Who was that woman just now?"
"Your dad's secretary? She used to be my sister's friend. My sister even tried to set them up before. But your dad didn't like her at all. She's so snobbish. Your dad's standards aren't that low. Let's not talk about her. Let's go have some fun."
Bai Guanqun shook off Xu Yijing's hand: "I'm not going to play, I'm going to Lao Xu's company."
"Why would you go to his company? All he does is attend meetings all day long; it's pointless."
"If you won't go, I will."
Xu Yijing resignedly said, "Alright, alright, my dear little niece, I'll go with you. But it's a deal: you can only look at your father's company, you can't touch anything, you can't say anything, and you can't rummage through it, understand?"
Bai Guanqun rolled his eyes: "Stop nagging, hurry up and go, I need to meet this Secretary Song."
