Chapter 501: The Mysterious Cousin

"Hiss—"

A clear pain comes from the tip of her tongue.

Lin Mu Xue gently bites her lower lip with her teeth, repeatedly confirming the reality of this moment.

This is not a dream!

She really possesses the legendary "Visa Infinite" series private customized black card.

Actually, in China, this kind of credit card isn't exactly rare. Many banks partner with Visa, and as long as one reaches a certain asset threshold or credit rating, ordinary people can apply for similar high-end cards.

For example, with her current income level and job, once she has some fixed assets, she could apply for one.

However, this obsidian card is completely different.

It is benchmarked against the highest-level black cards issued by top card issuers like Julius Baer and JPMorgan Private Bank.

She had only occasionally heard people mention it at socialite gatherings; this is the first time she has seen one with her own eyes.

Now, it is actually held in her own hands.

Her slender fingers carefully pinch the card; the touch is cool and delicate, the black surface shimmering with a low-key yet charming luster, like stars in the deep night sky.

Lin Mu Xue takes a deep breath, feeling her blood boiling, her heart beating so fast it feels like it's about to burst out of her chest.

Her whole person is trapped in a state of irrepressible excitement.

At this very moment, she doesn't care about Liu Liu Jia Yi's gaze opposite her, nor does she have the heart to care.

This card represents unimaginable money, which can make her instantly financially free.

As long as she swipes the card, Tang Song's family office will help her pay it off.

Haute couture dresses, limited-edition Hermès handbags, top-tier hotel suites, private jet leasing... everything she once dreamed of, everything she once had to rely on watching her aesthetician friends experience, she can now possess as she pleases.

She can take a private jet to the Maldives to see the sea on a holiday, or go to Paris to attend Fashion Week.

She can also invite those socialite friends to super first-tier cities like Beijing or Shanghai, go to the most luxurious malls, and nonchalantly pull out her private customized black card to show off her financial power and style.

These beautiful fantasies hit her mind in waves, like an orgasm.

Lin Mu Xue secretly shifts her body, trying to cover up the intense urge to urinate caused by her excessive excitement.

Xu Ning, standing behind her, has a dazed expression, staring blankly at the card in Seeing Xiao Xue's hand.

Although she doesn't know much, she has heard of black cards.

And she understood what Liu Liu Jia Yi meant in her words.

Which is to say, the gift Seeing Xiao Xue's boyfriend sent is a credit card that Seeing Xiao Xue doesn't need to pay off.

Even as a good sister, she can't help but feel jealous in her heart, feeling that even breathing has become difficult.

She never thought that there could really be such a good man in this world.

This is something that wouldn't even be believed if posted online!

Whether it's appearance, ability, financial power, or personality and temper, he is simply impeccable.

However, followed by that is wild joy and excitement. After all, she can also benefit from it.

"Dong-dong—" The sound of fingers tapping on the glass coffee table rings out.

"Assistant Lin, there is one more thing that needs to be informed." Liu Liu Jia Yi leans forward slightly, her tone still calm and professional.

Lin Mu Xue twists her butt, barely squeezing out a smile. "Please speak, Liu Jia Yi."

"As Tang Zong's private assistant, you also possess the right and obligation to maintain Tang Zong's safety." Liu Liu Jia Yi takes an exquisite business card out of her pocket and hands it over. "For the sake of communication, this is my private contact information, as well as a dedicated line for emergencies. If you encounter any problems, please contact me at the first opportunity or call the dedicated line directly. We will respond in the shortest possible time, 24 hours a day."

"Oh, oh, I understand, thank you!" Lin Mu Xue collects her emotions and takes the card earnestly.

Involving Tang Song's safety, she naturally doesn't dare to be careless.

"In addition, considering that you may frequently participate in high-standard events in the future, or accompany Tang Zong to important occasions, I will arrange for someone to provide you with basic security training." Liu Liu Jia Yi adds, "Including how to identify potential threats, respond to emergencies, etc. The specific schedule will be sent to your email later."

Lin Mu Xue hurriedly sits up straight, her tone earnest. "Okay, I will cooperate well with the relevant work."

Until this moment, she truly feels that she has become Tang Song's private assistant.

Besides enjoying rights and glory, she will also face many responsibilities and challenges.

After handing over all the matters, Liu Liu Jia Yi stands up neatly. "Then I won't disturb you any further."

"Thank you, Liu Jia Yi." Lin Mu Xue follows suit, wanting to hug her to express her gratitude and excitement, but looking at the other party's cold face, she still bows and nods politely.

Footsteps ring out in the living room.

"Ah—" The apartment door is gently pushed open.

One of Liu Liu Jia Yi's feet has just stepped out of the door when she suddenly turns around, a rare smile appearing at the corner of her mouth: "Of course, if you or Tang's related personnel encounter safety problems, you can also call this number."

In the current core protection list of Sheng Tang Security, besides Tang Song's parents, there are Wen Ruan, Zhao Yaqian, Su Yu, and others.

However, as Tang Song's driver, she knows very well that there are many confidantes around this Tang Zong.

"Okay, thank you."

"Please stay, goodbye."

"—" The door is gently closed.

After Liu Liu Jia Yi has completely left, Lin Mu Xue's legs, which she had been holding up, instantly become soft.

She hurriedly grabs Xu Ning's arm, breathing heavily.

"Seeing Xiao Xue—" Xu Ning's throat bobs violently, her eyes reddening. "This—this is really a black card!

? ￠〇

A Visa black card! You are too amazing!"

"Mm." Lin Mu Xue responds with a trembling voice.

Then she starts screaming "Ah, ah, ah." She kicks off the slippers on her feet, hugs Xu Ning, and jumps up and down, her face flushed red.

After a moment, she seems to realize something and hurriedly dives into the bathroom.

The sound of the door closing comes, followed by a rush of water.

The pressure on her bladder is instantly released.

A few minutes later, Lin Mu Xue returns to the living room, her face still carrying an unfaded flush of excitement.

She flops onto the sofa, takes out the instruction manual for the black card, and begins to examine it earnestly.

With her current English level, reading this English manual is naturally effortless.

Soon, she understands the various benefits of the card one by one, and is greatly shocked.

The first benefit makes her heart surge: "Unlimited Spending Power."

As long as the bank system confirms the transaction is reasonable, she can almost swipe the card as she pleases.

Of course, it is also marked below that "the limit will be reviewed dynamically in real-time."

Which is to say, there might still be limits on this card later.

Besides that, what makes her heart flutter the most is the "Personalized Concierge Service."

It is equivalent to a portion of the benefits possessed by Zhao Yaqian and Wen Ruan's family trusts.

Priority booking rights for top restaurants, advance purchase of limited-edition luxury goods, attending world-renowned art exhibitions, etc.

This card is widely accepted globally; whether it's high-end fashion stores in Paris, Michelin restaurants in New York, or luxury hotels in Dubai, it can be used. It can also be bound to her Alipay account.

Used for daily consumption.

Of course, the premise of enjoying all this is—in the capacity of Tang Song's assistant.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu Xue's eyes flash violently.

She grabs her phone and dials Tang Song's number.

"Doo-doo-doo—" The phone rings for a long while before finally being answered.

"Hello, Seeing Xiao Xue." Tang Song's gentle, pleasant voice comes through the receiver.

Lin Mu Xue rubs her slender legs gently, her tone soft and coquettish. "Tang Zong, I received your gift, thank you. I like it, I like it very, very much."

"Hehe, that's good."

Lin Mu Xue bites her lip. "This card—it's definitely for me, right? I can use it, right?"

"Of course, your name should be on it. It's customized for you, you can use it anytime."

"Phew—"

Lin Mu Xue lets out a breath, unable to control herself, and directly says a few words of trash talk in English in front of Xu Ning.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Mu Xue is instantly radiant.

Given Tang Song's generosity, even if she spends it on herself, he should allow it, right?

For example, she could completely use the excuse of wanting to make Tang Song happy to buy 10 pairs of Balenciaga stockings for him to tear up for fun—that's no problem, right?

Or, as a private assistant, helping him order some high-end red wine, cigars, or purchasing a few sets of haute couture dresses and suits when she occasionally needs to accompany him to important meetings—none of that is excessive, right?

Being even bolder, she could even use this card to purchase luxury houses or luxury cars!

Buy, buy, buy! Buy, buy, buy!

However, as soon as this thought emerged, she quickly suppressed it.

Although she is vain and money-grubbing, she isn't stupid; she knows there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched.

After all, she is also Tang Enterprise's private assistant, and this card is also for the convenience of her work.

If she really spends recklessly, not only would it expose her shallowness, but it could also make Tang Enterprise feel disgusted with her.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu Xue's burning heart finally gradually cools down.

She takes a deep breath, temporarily casting those wild thoughts to the back of her mind.

"Ding-dong—" A WeChat notification sounds.

【Zhenzhen: "Sister Seeing Xiao Xue, are you still coming over? My phone screen is shattered, I'm planning to go to the mall with my classmate to buy one. If you aren't coming over now, I'm going to leave first."】

Seeing this message, Lin Mu Xue's originally calmed emotions are instantly ignited.

She lifts the corners of her mouth in a meaningful smile and quickly types a reply: "Then I'll come over to find you now.

It just so happens I also want to buy two pieces of clothing, I'll go shopping with you guys. You bring the things, and just give them to me when you see me."

After the message is sent for a good while, Lin Yuzhen finally replies slowly.

【Zhenzhen: "Okay then, we're at Huanle Mingdu, just message me when you arrive."】

Putting down her phone, Lin Mu Xue's gaze is burning, her whole person radiating an unprecedented confidence and brilliance.

Yuhua District, Huajing Oasis residential complex.

The evening sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the bedroom, reflecting on the high-end wooden floor.

Lin Yuzhen sits on the edge of the soft bed, staring at the message her cousin sent with a complex expression.

After a moment, she gently bites her lip, picks up her phone, opens the suitcase in the corner, and takes out a slightly worn pink backpack.

Although she has tried her best to clean it, the severely worn corners and the old-fashioned style still indicate that

this backpack has been around for some years.

In fact, this is one her cousin Lin Mu Xue used to carry when she was in school.

This time, Uncle asked her to bring it over, and it was stuffed with a lot of jujube steamed buns, walnuts, and Qiong-guo candy.

She really didn't want to bring it because it felt particularly embarrassing.

However, the earnestness in Uncle's demeanor and tone made it impossible for her to refuse.

"Hey, Zhenzhen, what did your sister say? Did she reply?" Li Jiatong, who is flipping through a magazine, looks up,

raises her eyebrows, and laughs. "Damn, where did you get such a broken bag? I haven't seen it before."

Lin Yuzhen's face flushes instantly, and she hurriedly explains, "This is something my sister brought home, she asked me to pass it to her, it's not mine."

"Oh, oh, I see." Li Jiatong shrugs, her tone carrying a hint of ridicule. "I really don't know what her family is thinking, such heavy stuff, and they aren't willing to send it by express, making you bring it all the way here."

Lin Yuzhen smiles awkwardly without refuting, just stands up and puts the bag on the chair.

At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps rings out.

A cool-looking boy walks over with a fruit platter, greeting them enthusiastically: "Come, come, two beauties, have some fruit."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Hao!" Li Jiatong laughs, picks up a slice of apple, and stuffs it into her mouth. "So sweet."

Zhou Hao beckons to Lin Yuzhen, who is standing there. "Zhenzhen, come over."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou Hao." Lin Yuzhen takes a slice of watermelon, bites into it, her expression a bit shy.

She lied to her family this time.

The classmate she mentioned in Yancheng is actually a boy, Zhou Hao.

And she and Li Jiatong are both from Shaanxi, and they are in the same dormitory; they came to Yancheng because they were invited by Zhou Hao.

However, coming here this time has been quite a shock to her.

Zhou Hao's family lives in a 150-square-meter luxury apartment in the city center, and they even have a nanny.

Back at school, she felt he spent money quite wildly, but she didn't expect him to be so rich.

"Brother Hao, this is what you said, you must take us to experience the nightlife of Yancheng, I'm super looking forward to it." Li Jiatong says, stepping forward to affectionately grab Zhou Hao's arm.

Zhou Hao laughs and pats her head. "Of course, tonight I'll take you to the coolest nightclub in Yancheng! I've called a few local friends, and I'll take you guys out for a spin!"

"Yay!" Li Jiatong turns and pats Lin Yuzhen on the back. "Zhenzhen, you haven't been to a nightclub before, right? Do you dare to go?"

Lin Yuzhen bites her lip and says stubbornly, "What's there not to dare?"

"Haha, by the way, today besides buying a phone, you should buy some nice clothes." Li Jiatong tugs at her shirt and covers her mouth, laughing. "You, wearing such plain clothes, you'll be the 'center of attention' when you get into the nightclub, haha."

Hearing this, Lin Yuzhen feels uncomfortable in her heart.

Li Jiatong is actually not a bad person, she's just a bit "snobbish."

Because of the large gap in family conditions, Li Jiatong is both close to her and holds a hint of contempt, often using teasing ways to imply her "country bumpkin" nature.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuzhen looks enviously at Li Jiatong's outfit.

Prada jacket, crop top, slim-fit jeans, limited-edition sneakers.

She looks stylish and sexy.

Her family conditions are very average, with a monthly living allowance of just over 1,000, which is a very ordinary level among classmates.

Compared to a kid from a wealthy family like Li Jiatong, the gap is very obvious.

"What's plain or not plain, I think Zhenzhen looks fine wearing this, of course, Jiatong is also very beautiful."

Zhou Hao habitually plays the "peacemaker," smoothing over the atmosphere.

The three of them, sitting or standing, chat while eating fruit.

"Ding-a-ling—" Her phone rings.

Lin Yuzhen glances at the caller ID and answers the call. "Hello, Sister Seeing Xiao Xue, where have you reached?"

"Oh, you come directly to the North Gate, it's closer."

"Mm, okay, bye-bye."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Yuzhen smiles apologetically at the two classmates. "Forgot to tell you, besides delivering things to her, my sister also wants to go shopping with us."

Zhou Hao shrugs and says readily, "Okay, No Problem! By the way, Zhenzhen, your phone was broken on the way to my house, how about this, I'll buy you one later."

"No, no." Lin Yuzhen shakes her head hurriedly, her face flushing red.

Li Jiatong's eyes flash, and she covers her mouth, laughing. "Zhenzhen, I heard you say your sister is doing very well now, right? Why don't you let her buy you a phone? Haven't you always wanted that iPhone 15 Pro that just came out?"

Lin Yuzhen is startled, her expression awkward. "That's not appropriate."

She had heard from Uncle before that after graduation, Seeing Xiao Xue didn't become a flight attendant but worked in modeling, media, and such.

Girls her age have a bit of vanity and also want to save face in front of classmates.

On the way to Yancheng before, when Li Jiatong and Zhou Hao asked about her cousin, she subconsciously embellished a bit.

Saying she was "a leader in a company."

As for the real situation, she actually didn't know.

After all, Uncle's family hadn't been in touch with Lin Mu Xue for almost two years.

Li Jiatong continues to urge, "What's inappropriate, as an older sister, taking care of a younger sister is what should be done."

Zhou Hao, on the side, claps his hands and laughs. "Alright, let's go down first."

Laughing and talking, the three walk out of Zhou Hao's house, take the elevator directly to the B2 parking garage.

"Come on, get in the car!" Zhou Hao puts one hand in his pocket and pulls open the car door of a BMW with the other.

Li Xiaotong says with an exaggerated expression, "BMW X5, not bad, Brother Hao, really got face!"

"Hehe, it's my dad's." Zhou Hao smiles indifferently and points to the Tesla Model Y next to it. "That car is my mom's. They went abroad for vacation for the holiday, so I can drive the cars however I want."

"New energy vehicles are very popular now, my family is also planning to buy an electric car, how about you let me drive it tomorrow?"

"Sure, I'll take you guys out tomorrow in that Tesla, you can drive it then."

"Thank you, Brother Hao, then I won't be polite with you."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Yuzhen feels a complex taste welling up in her heart.

There is sourness, envy, and inferiority.

Just then, Zhou Hao leans over to her side and affectionately bumps her shoulder. "Let's go, Zhenzhen, what are you dazing for?"

"Oh, oh." Lin Yuzhen nods with a red face and climbs into the back seat of the car.

The black BMW X5 drives steadily out of the underground garage and stops steadily by the side of the North Gate road.

The three get out of the car one after another and stand by the side of the road waiting.

Lin Yuzhen carries the worn-out pink backpack in her hand, head down, subconsciously kicking the ground with her toes.

Zhou Hao lights a cigarette and leans against the BMW X5 door, his posture casual and lazy.

He exhales a smoke ring, his gaze sweeping over the backpack in Lin Yuzhen's hand, and asks casually, "By the way, Zhenzhen, how is your sister coming over?"

Lin Yuzhen hesitates for a moment and answers in a low voice, "I don't know, she should be driving."

Li Jiatong hears this and laughs. "I've discovered something, Zhenzhen, you don't seem to know anything about your sister, everything is ambiguous."

"Uh... it's mainly because we haven't been in touch much these past two years." Lin Yuzhen bites her lip, her voice unnatural.

In fact, deep down, she has always held a sense of superiority toward her cousin Lin Mu Xue, and even holds a hint of contempt.

Since she was a child, she has been the "seed of study" in the family, always receiving praise from her parents and other relatives, the typical "other people's child."

Lin Mu Xue only got into a junior college, and studied flight attendant services, while she is a 211 undergraduate.

She naturally assumes that she will live better and more decently than her cousin Lin Mu Xue after graduation.

Because of this, she has never taken the initiative to contact the other party, and her attitude has been lukewarm.

Li Jiatong continues to tease, "Hehe, don't fail to recognize her when you meet later, that would be awkward."

Lin Yuzhen shakes her head hurriedly. "That's impossible!"

Zhou Hao exhales a smoke ring, raises his eyebrows, his tone slightly teasing. "Haha, what I'm more concerned about is whether your cousin is as beautiful as you."

Before he can finish speaking, a low and textured engine sound comes from behind.

A matte gray Porsche 911 slowly enters their line of sight.

The gorgeous streamlined body shimmers with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.

The attention of the three is instantly attracted.

Immediately after, the Porsche 911 stops in front of the BMW X5.

"Click—" The car door opens, and a sexy, tall figure stands up.

She wears a pair of huge Gucci sunglasses, a soft and delicate Chanel knit cardigan, a white silk shirt underneath, and a pair of high-waisted wide-leg pants with strong drape.

Bling-bling accessories are dotted in between, and the bright diamond-encrusted watch shimmers with dazzling light in the sunlight.

Her whole person exudes a natural noble temperament, possessing both the sharpness of an urban elite woman and the unique sexiness and charm of a woman.

She instantly becomes the focus of the entire scene.

Her slender, fair fingers gently grip the gold-colored temples of the sunglasses, she casually takes them off, lifts her head slightly, and her thick, bright honey-colored hair falls naturally.

Revealing an exquisite and three-dimensional beautiful face.

Low-heeled Chanel Mary Jane shoes tap on the road, making a crisp "clack-clack" sound.

"Zhenzhen, long time no see, you've lost weight."

Lin Mu Xue arrives in front of her cousin, the corners of her mouth lifting in a calm smile, her eyes filled with confidence and composure.

The powerful aura coming toward them makes the three of them stunned.

The cigarette in Zhou Hao's hand stops in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the woman in front of him, as if locked by some invisible force.

His originally lazy and casual posture now appears exceptionally stiff, and even his breathing becomes cautious.

Li Jiatong opens her mouth, her throat bobbing up and down, subconsciously tidying her own clothes.

"Sister Seeing Xiao Xue—" Lin Yuzhen calls out, her head buzzing.

Lin Mu Xue's gaze sweeps over the two people beside her, finally landing on the pink backpack in her hand, a hint of imperceptible emotion flashing in her eyes.

She quickly regains her calm, her tone gentle yet polite. "Hello, I am Zhenzhen's cousin,

Lin Mu Xue."

"Hello, I am Li Jiatong." Li Jiatong introduces herself hurriedly, her voice slightly constrained.

Zhou Hao throws away the cigarette in his hand, quickly extends his right hand, his smile bright to the point of being ingratiating. "Hello, Sister Seeing Xiao Xue, I am Zhenzhen's university classmate, Zhou Hao."

Lin Mu Xue raises her eyebrows, ignores him, and casually takes the backpack from Lin Yuzhen's hand, walking toward the front trunk.

Her movements are elegant and neat, without the slightest hesitation.

Zhou Hao is stunned, retracting his right hand awkwardly, but still stares burning at the other party's back, clearly not having recovered from the shock just now.

"Bang—" The sound of the front trunk closing pulls the thoughts of the three back.

"Which mall are you guys going to?"

Zhou Hao hurriedly answers, "Huanle Mingdu, it's not far from here."

Lin Mu Xue nods slightly, pats Lin Yuzhen on the shoulder, her voice peaceful yet unquestionable. "Get in the car,

Zhenzhen, I'll drive you there."

"Oh, oh, okay." Lin Yuzhen nods mechanically and carefully pulls open the passenger seat door.

Looking at the luxurious and exquisite interior inside, and then looking at the elegant and noble cousin beside her, she feels like she is in a dream. Lin Mu Xue picks up her sunglasses, gives them a casual shake, and with a "click," the hinges rotate, and the gold-colored temples unfold.

She lowers her head slightly and puts the sunglasses steadily on the bridge of her nose.

Her bright eyebrows and eyes are covered again, leaving only a mysterious smile.

Zhenzhen, oh Zhenzhen!

You deserve your great luck, meeting Empress Empress Mu Xue who has just obtained the Supreme Imperial Weapon!

It's time for you to re-recognize your cousin! ===== CHAPTER 502 =====

It's time for you to re-recognize your cousin!
