Chapter 36: VIP Member of Jinyang Pavilion
Everyone looked over and saw Gu Yang walking over slowly in a pink and white ladylike dress. She handed a black card with golden words to Ruan Xueling.
Ruan Xueling was stunned. Since when did she have a membership card for Jinyang Pavilion? Did Yangyang bring Zhaoming's card? But the actual member had to be present. This meant if Zhaoming didn't come, it would be useless even if she brought the card!
Furthermore…
Ruan Xueling was at a loss for words as she looked at the simple card in her hand. She remembered that Jinyang Pavilion's membership card did not look like this!
Mrs. Xu and the wealthy ladies beside her looked at each other. Since when did Ruan Xueling have a membership card for Jinyang Pavilion? Why didn't they hear anything about it?
Mrs. Xu glanced at the card in Ruan Xueling's hand and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She held the membership card between two fingers and flipped it for everyone to see. She said meaningfully to Ruan Xueling, "Mrs. Gu, our membership cards are different."
Only then did everyone realize that the membership card in Ruan Xueling's hand was worlds apart from Mrs. Xu's.
The piece in Ruan Xueling's hand was almost pitch-black, except for Jinyang Pavilion's name.
The membership card in Mrs. Xu's hand was white, like a miniature ink painting. On it, in addition to the words "Jinyang Pavilion", there was also a red square seal.
They were all in the same circle, and Gu Yang was famous for being outstanding in Jin City's high society. Ruan Xueling usually brought her to banquets, so these ladies recognized her.
Hence, someone said, "Miss Gu, are you saying that's the membership card of Jinyang Pavilion? Everyone knows that the membership card of Jinyang Pavilion is an ink drawing. This card you're holding… Could it be that you think that just casually writing the restaurant name on it makes it the membership card?"
Mrs. Xu and the others covered their mouths and laughed.
Gu Yang was slightly surprised. The membership card the big shot gave her was actually different from other membership cards?!
Was the big shot having her on?
Just as Gu Yang was in a daze, the manager of Jinyang Pavilion quickly walked out and said respectfully, "Miss Gu, Mrs. Gu, please come in."
Ruan Xueling was puzzled.
The expressions of Mrs. Xu and the others also changed.
Mrs. Xu frowned. "Manager Tan, look carefully. She's holding a fake membership card."
Mrs. Qi, who was beside Mrs. Xu, also hurriedly said, "That's right, Manager Tan. The membership card in Mrs. Xu's hand is the real one. Don't let the wrong people in."
Manager Tan smiled. His attitude was gentle, but there was a hint of pride in it. "Ladies, you must be joking. If I have to welcome ordinary members one by one as the manager, I should simply become a waiter."
Mrs. Xu's expression stiffened. "Then what are you doing now…"
"The card in Mrs. Gu's hand is not a fake membership card. It's a VIP membership card," Manager Tan said calmly.
Ruan Xueling was stunned.
Mrs. Xu and the others were shocked.
"That's a VIP membership card?!"
"Ruan Xueling doesn't even have the right to apply for an ordinary membership card. How can she afford a VIP membership card?"
"I've never heard of Jinyang Pavilion having a VIP membership card…"
Gu Yang was also a little confused. So, the big shot didn't lie to her. Not only did she give her a Jinyang Pavilion membership card, but she also gave her a VIP membership card.
Ruan Xueling came back to her senses and flipped through the VIP membership card. She smiled at Mrs. Xu and said, "Mrs. Xu, our membership cards are indeed different."
After returning these words to Mrs. Xu, Ruan Xueling felt much better.
Mrs. Xu and the others' faces were ashen.
