  Before the sisters left the house, they had informed their mother about Ji Nuan’s cards and even told her about the conditions that had to be fulfilled in order to obtain this card.

  When Ji Nuan’s aunt heard this, she was flushed with joy. She told them to go shopping first and planned to ask their neighbors about the best properties available in Ji City. They were going to move into a brand new home. With so much money, they would at least be able to buy the biggest home available in Ji City’s central area. If one wasn’t sufficient, they would buy two; one for Sisi and one for Keke in a location near to their university.

  In the end, these sisters did not manage to spend even a single cent with these cards. Instead, because they had taken a cab to come here in a fit of excitement, they had spent a large sum on the cab fee and their lunch. And it all came from their own wallet.

  At last, the final black card could not be used after three, incorrect attempts.

  ——


  When Ji Nuan arrived at her grandmother’s house, Song Sisi and Song Keke had just returned. Their hands were empty and their expressions were extremely poor.

  Her aunt had yet to learn that the cards could not be used. She sat in the yard, speaking on the phone with different relatives and informed them that they were moving homes. She even told them that in the future, when Sisi and Keke got married and had children, all of the necessary fees were dealt with. She also wanted to buy several apartments near their university, to start her own business, and to invite all of her relatives over for a meal. She had even decided on the hotel to hold a banquet in; it would the most expensive, five-star hotel in Ji City.

  Ji Nuan had just arrived outside and was watching as her aunt speaking on the phone. From her excitement and speech, it was as though the money had already become hers.

  At this moment, her aunt saw that Song Sisi and Song Keke had returned. She was about to ask why they were empty-handed when they noticed a black car parked outside.

  Although they couldn’t tell what brand of car this was, they could immediately tell that it wasn’t cheap. The trio were thus dumbstruck for a moment. In the next moment, the door was opened and Ji Nuan stepped out of the car.

  When they saw that Ji Nuan had actually returned, the two sisters were frightened into hiding her wallet away.

  As she alighted, Ji Nuan was smiling. However, her smile did not reach her eyes. She stepped into the front yard directly, and her gaze was fixed on Song Sisi, who was doing her best to hide her hands behind her back.

  “How is it? You didn’t manage to guess a single passcode correctly, right?” Ji Nuan asked with a smile.

  Although she was smiling, her words immediately exposed their ‘theft-like’ actions. The two sisters’ expressions could be described as vivid and colorful.

  On the other hand, her aunt was flabbergasted. Ji Nuan’s words were akin to a bucket of cold water poured over her earlier excitement. It was no wonder Sisi and Keke returned empty-handed. Did this mean the two did not manage to spend even a single cent of Ji Nuan’s money?

  Earlier, she had just invited more than thirty relatives to come for dinner at their home, and even brought up bringing them to the most expensive, five-star hotel……

  Her aunt’s expression also stiffened.

  “Bring it out.” Ji Nuan maintained a calm, mocking smile. She reached her hand out: “Return the things to its owner.”


  Her words were straight to the point. Song Sisi’s expression was dark and after enduring a moment of anger, she couldn’t resist slamming the wallet down onto Ji Nuan’s palm. However, Ji Nuan easily backed away and caught the wallet before it fell onto the ground.

  Ji Nuan’s movements were smooth, as though she had some training. Song Sisi, who had just tossed the wallet with some force was immediately left speechless.

  The two sisters’ expressions were poor, and her aunt’s complexion was not any better. Her aunt saw that Ji Nuan’s expression was somewhat poor, but did not realize it was because she had a fever last night and was hospitalized. She only thought Ji Nuan had gone out to mess around at night. She immediately used a reprimanding voice: “Since you’re so well-off, what’s the problem with taking out some money for your sisters to spend? You’ve been back for two days, haven’t you? What have you bought for the family? Those small gifts aren’t even worth ten thousand yuan in total. Any of your cards carry more than ten million yuan, yet you only bought those small gifts for your family. How petty and stingy can you be!”


  Ji Nuan’s smile was cold: “Big aunt, you seem to be thinking too highly of yourself. Shouldn’t you know the reason I came to Ji City best? My mother’s family never visited her in Hai City a second time even when she passed on. Since grandmother is ill, I decided to take our blood relation into consideration and come visit her. But if we’re talking about our existing relationship, I was already giving you guys a lot of face by even showing up. The presents and nourishments were a sign of my sincerity, but I don’t actually owe you guys anything. Even a day ago, when grandmother fell sick, I took care of her by her bedside because of filial piety. Even if you wish to nitpick at me, my actions leave nothing for you to be upset with. Right now, you actually have the audacity to stand here and say that I’m petty? No matter if I have money or not, even a beggar on the streets know to bow down and dirty his knees to express his thanks, or to perform some sort of show to plead for money. All you’ve done is to stretch your hands out in demand; aren’t you embarrassed of yourself?”


  “You……”


  Ji Nuan raised the wallet in her hand. Her gaze was filled with indifferent mocking: “Furthermore, you didn’t only stretch your hands out. You even dared to steal my wallet. I took your blood relationship with my mom into consideration, so I didn’t report you guys to the police. Otherwise, I can easily place the criminal charges of theft onto you, mother and daughters.”


  “We didn’t steal it!” Song Keke was frightened by Ji Nuan’s sudden imposing and cold aura. Clearly, yesterday Ji Nuan had still taken her mother into account and gave everyone some face. She even appeared to be good at tolerating. Yet, right now, she actually used the words ‘report to the police.’ Song Keke carefully said: “You didn’t lock your door before leaving the house, so I went in with Big Sister to help you clean your room. Afterward, we saw that your wallet was left on the ground so we took a look at it. Anyway, didn’t you promise to give two hundred thousand yuan to us? We were in a rush to buy things so we directly took your wallet and left. And even if we took it, it’s not as if we spent any money, isn’t it?”


  “You sure didn’t spend anything. You even froze my cards.” Ji Nuan suddenly turned to Song Keke with a radiant smile: “Let’s not mention the fact that I never promised to give that so-called two hundred thousand yuan. Even if water entered my brain, I won’t be able to give it now.”


  “Why, you’re clearly loaded!” Song Sisi was flustered. She originally thought they would at least have two hundred thousand yuan to spend.

  Ji Nuan raised the wallet up and waved it before her with a wide smile: “Why? Because my cards are all frozen, ah.”


  Song Sisi and Song Keke instantly turned pale: “How can it be? You should at least have some cash with you!”


  “Who would bring so much cash with them for no reason? You already flipped through my wallet and luggage. Did you see any cash?” Ji Nuan remained smiling but her gaze was filled with mockery and…… boundless detachment.
