Black Card

Butler Bai paused for a moment before speaking, "There's nothing that Young Master doesn't know... Young Master didn't allow us to tell you, probably because he doesn't want you to be exposed to these things."

Li Rongrong felt extremely guilty. She had wrongly accused Lu Qinian! She had even been mad at him! She was about to call Lu Qinian but then remembered that he should be on the plane, so she decided against it. She thought that it would be more sincere to apologize in person.

The next day was the weekend, and Li Rongrong went straight to the mall. She aimlessly wandered around, not knowing what kind of apology gift to get for Lu Qinian. What does Lu Qinian like, anyway? She had no clue. As she turned to the men's watch section, her attention was immediately drawn to a particular watch. But just as she asked the attendant to take it out...

"I'll take this watch!" The familiar voice made Li Rongrong pause.

A woman with meticulously done makeup approached. She had an older man by her side, who seemed much older than the woman, probably her father. When the woman saw Li Rongrong, she smiled suggestively.

"Oh, so it's our Third Miss!" She was Li Miao'er, the Second Miss of the Li family.

Five years ago, Li Rongrong suddenly disappeared while she was being punished by kneeling. Shortly after, the entire Li family went bankrupt within a few days. They went from being incredibly wealthy to hitting rock bottom in society! And all of this was because of that wretched Li Rongrong!

After sizing Li Rongrong up, Li Miao'er covered her mouth and laughed. "I thought you had climbed up to someone important. Who would've thought... Look at you now, dressed worse than you were in the Li family! I feel sorry for you! Did you become a child bride or something? It seems you're not doing well now."

Her voice was loud, and it quickly attracted the attention of passers-by, especially in this era, who wouldn't have thought it was gossip upon hearing about the child bride?

"Could it be that the man no longer wants you? Well, it's normal for wealthy people these days to get bored easily. But after being with him for so long, why are you still living such a miserable life?"

"Please wrap it for me." Ignoring Li Miao'er's constant chatter, Li Rongrong smiled and said to the salesperson.

"Why are you buying this watch? Trying to please a man?" Li Miao'er played with her newly manicured nails. "I know you care about your image, but this watch costs over 100,000 yuan, right? If you can't afford it, just don't buy it. Instead, save some money and take care of your appearance. Who knows, maybe another man will take an interest in you?" As she spoke, she handed over a card with an arrogant expression. "Salesperson, please wrap it for me."

"Hubby, how much can I spend with this card?" Li Miao'er coquettishly asked the older man beside her.

The older man shifted his gaze from Li Rongrong, patted his beer belly, and laughed. "You can spend as much as you want!"

Li Rongrong ignored them. When she saw the salesperson about to swipe Li Miao'er's card, she calmly said, "I was here first."

The salesperson hesitated, as Li Rongrong didn't look like she could afford it.

Li Miao'er laughed, "Stop pretending, I'll just give it to you. We're sisters, and since you're going through a difficult time, I should provide some assistance." After speaking, she smiled sweetly at the salesperson, "Go ahead, swipe the card, and give the watch directly to my sister. There's no other way. My sister is also a pitiful person. She's been a child bride for some unknown family since she was young, and now that they don't want her anymore, she's..."

A black card appeared on the counter, leaving the salesperson in shock as she looked at the cardholder.

Li Rongrong said, "I said swipe the card!"

Not only the salesperson, but even Li Miao'er froze as well! They both stared at Li Rongrong's black card with a golden border. It was not something an ordinary person would possess!

The salesperson quickly tried to please Li Rongrong with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'll process it for you! Please don't take offense..."

"Li Rongrong, where did you get that black card?" Li Miao'er's gaze was filled with scrutiny and doubt.

Li Rongrong remained expressionless, "Does it concern you?"

"I'm your second sister!" Li Miao'er frowned, "Could it be that you stole this card?"

Seeing the subtle change in people's expressions around her, Li Rongrong couldn't understand their thought processes. Who would be able to steal a black card? She turned to look at Li Miao'er, "Guess."

Li Miao'er shouted in anger, "Li Rongrong!"

Li Rongrong placed the watch in her bag and imitated Li Miao'er's mannerisms, scrutinizing her from head to toe, "Is this dress of yours a high-quality imitation? I recall that the original dress has a double-layered lace hem..."

"What nonsense!" Li Miao'er's face showed embarrassment after being exposed. "Li Rongrong, it's because you're poor and don't recognize high-end brands!"
