Chapter 69: Apply for a card, top up one hundred!

~7 min read 1,359 words

And this move by Lin Yongqiang also caused Linda's dissatisfaction.

She scratched Lin Yongqiang's arm with her fingernails, looking at him with angry eyes.

A single consumption at Linshui Pavilion costs at least one thousand yuan. There are three people on the opposite side, and the money spent is enough for her to buy another bag.

But Lin Yongqiang simply ignored it. This was a matter of a man's face, not a matter of money.

Besides, he wasn't short of these two or three yuan now.

"No need, Uncle, we'll pay ourselves."

Before her mother could speak to refuse, Shen Ci said expressionlessly.

The receptionist at the front desk saw this and put down the membership card she had picked up, looking a bit confused.

Lin Yongqiang chuckled when he looked at Shen Ci and said casually: "It doesn't matter. The minimum one-time top-up here is ten yuan. If you don't come often, it's not necessary."

Shen Jingjing just said they were here for the first time, so it was obvious they hadn't been here before.

So Lin Yongqiang subconsciously felt that they must have just come for the novelty and couldn't possibly become regular customers in a place with this level of consumption.

Linda's expression became even more triumphant upon hearing this, and she echoed symbolically: "Yongqiang is right, it's really not necessary to spend this unjust money if you don't come often."

Shen Yingying secretly rolled her eyes. This Lin Yongqiang looked like he was enthusiastic about meeting an old friend, but in fact, he was showing off that he had money now, both openly and secretly.

It really is true that a dog can't change its habit of eating excrement; it's exactly the same as his vain nature before.

Before, his vanity was blatant; now, he likes to pretend to be cool inadvertently.

It's really blind of God to let a person like him get rich.

Shen Ci was too lazy to waste her breath and said directly to the front desk: "Apply for the card, I'll top up one hundred yuan."

One sentence made everyone present stunned.

One hundred yuan?

Lin Yongqiang subconsciously moved his gaze back and forth between Shen Ci and Shen Jingjing, his mouth half-open, forgetting to react for a long time.

Linda's eyes were even wider.

The Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying sisters were also a bit dumbfounded. They knew A-Ci had made money in Longcheng for more than a year, but no one asked how much she had made. At this moment, A-Ci opened her mouth and it was one hundred yuan, directly breaking the upper limit the sisters had in their hearts.

They originally thought A-Ci had made at most a few dozen yuan, but the facts were clearly more than that.

The girl at the front desk came to her senses and said quickly: "Alright, miss, please wait a moment."

She had been working as a receptionist at Linshui Pavilion for a while, and most customers only topped up ten or twenty thousand yuan; fifty thousand yuan was rare.

Today was the first time she had seen a customer top up one hundred yuan for their first card opening.

Shen Ci filled in the membership card's identity information as her mother's, so that she could often bring her aunt to do spa and SAP in the future.

Everything was handled properly. When Shen Jingjing took the membership card, she came to her senses. Just as she wanted to say something, she heard her daughter suddenly say to Lin Yongqiang: "Uncle, we're going in first, goodbye."

Shen Jingjing came to her senses and understood that her daughter was supporting her face.

She straightened her expression, gave Lin Yongqiang a calm smile, just nodded slightly, didn't say another word, and turned to leave.

Lin Yongqiang still hadn't recovered until Linda's voice rang out: "Yongqiang, who is she? Is her family very rich? I've never heard you mention it."

Lin Yongqiang's face darkened slightly, and he pursed his lips. His heart suddenly felt like it was blocked by something, making him feel stifled and aggrieved.

Over the years, he had fantasized countless times in his heart about meeting Shen Jingjing by chance one day, and he had already achieved financial freedom, while Shen Jingjing was still the same as before, without any change.

Today, he thought his dream had come true. He was excited and surging inside, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm and decent, pretending to be a successful person. He didn't expect that in the end, he was slapped in the face by the other party's indifference.

He wanted to see the look of envy and regret on Shen Jingjing's face.

But he saw nothing; she was still the same as before.

"She chased me more than ten years ago, I didn't agree," Lin Yongqiang said, his self-esteem at work, directly reversing the facts.

Linda didn't doubt it, just asked curiously: "More than ten years ago? Didn't she have children?"

Lin Yongqiang nodded. This was also the point he couldn't accept the most. Shen Jingjing had three children, while he was single and unmarried at the time, but in the end, he couldn't chase a single mother.

Linda pouted: "That's too funny. She was already a mother and still had the nerve to chase you. It's a wonder you agreed."

Lin Yongqiang didn't want to recall these things. Although a long time had passed, every time he thought about it, he still felt unwilling and frustrated.

"You go in first, I'll go outside to smoke a cigarette."

In the private room, Shen Ci chose the best products and essential oils. The few of them changed into loose clothes, lay down, closed their eyes, and enjoyed the rare leisure.

"Mom, who was that person just now?" Shen Ci asked curiously.

Before Shen Jingjing could answer, Shen Yingying took the lead and laughed: "A-Ci, you really don't remember? He chased your mom before, for more than a year."

Shen Ci really had no impression of this person. Perhaps she was too young at that time.

Shen Yingying continued on her own: "He didn't have much money at that time and liked to pretend. When he chased your mom, he bought flowers and gifts, all of which were returned by your mom."

"He also liked to save face outside, and when he invited people to dinner, he had to be particular about the scene. In fact, he was poor, and your mom looked down on this point the most."

Shen Ci found it interesting and couldn't help but ask again: "Then did he make money doing business? He looks quite rich now."

"Humph..." Shen Yingying sneered: "Him doing business? That was later when their old city area was demolished, and he suddenly got thousands of yuan in demolition money and more than a dozen compensation houses."

At that time, the urban village in Shengang was undergoing a major transformation, and everyone who had an old house got rich.

"Don't talk about these things, they are all old history," Shen Jingjing said in a low voice.

"Sis, I saw the look in his eyes when he looked at you just now, it was exactly the same as before. Do you think he still likes you?"

"A-Ci is here, stop talking nonsense."

"A-Ci is all grown up, there must be many people chasing her now." Speaking of this, Shen Yingying suddenly realized that her niece was already a sophomore and couldn't help but ask: "A-Ci, are you in a relationship?"

"Just broke up," Shen Ci said bluntly, not hiding it.

"Ah?" Shen Jingjing, who was a bit sleepy because it was so comfortable, woke up immediately: "You were in a relationship?"

Shen Ci corrected again: "Already broke up, currently single."

"With whom? Is it a classmate?" Shen Jingjing pursued.

Shen Ci smiled helplessly: "Mom, it's all in the past, why are you asking so much? Why don't you tell me more about that uncle just now, and I'll reveal the detailed situation of my ex-boyfriend to you."

"Dead girl." Shen Jingjing sighed and obediently closed her mouth. ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
