A delighted smile appeared on Jiang Mengyao’s face, but soon after, she realized his intentions. She subconsciously took a step back and raised her chin as she said, “Forget it. I’ll just wait in line. I want to go in with Wu Mo.”
Wu Mo’s mouth opened slightly. He did not expect Jiang Mengyao to reject Wei Jiaming’s invitation and wait in line with him under the sun.
Silly girl…
His heart was slightly moved, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.
Wei Jiaming saw the situation, and his face instantly turned green.
He snorted coldly and spoke angrily. “Fine, do it the hard way. Just follow that piece of trash outside and bask in the sun!”
Wei Jiaming immediately walked toward the member lane. After the receptionist inspected his membership card, she promptly allowed Wei Jiaming to pass.
“See, there’s a difference between people. Mengyao, you better think it through. If you keep following a person like that, your life will be ruined!”
Wei Jiaming turned his head around and spoke arrogantly with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
Wu Mo smirked. He could not be bothered with that foolish man.
“Let’s go too…”
Wu Mo held Jiang Mengyao’s hand and immediately walked toward the member lane.
“Huh… didn’t I mention I can’t go in?”
Jiang Mengyao was stunned. She wanted to comfort Wu Mo, hoping that he would not be affected by Wei Jiaming.
She did not expect Wu Mo to hold her hand instead. He did not seem frustrated at all.
“Don’t worry. We can get in.”
Wu Mo snapped his fingers, and white light flashed in front of him. A platinum card instantly appeared in his hand.
Jiang Mengyao was stunned by Wu Mo’s magic. She could not speak for a moment. She stared blankly at Wu Mo’s handsome side profile and his perfect jaw line. She felt her heart beat very fast.
The two of them immediately arrived at Treasure Pavilion’s entrance. Wei Jiaming saw them and immediately revealed a mocking expression. He wanted to see how that trash could enter Treasure Pavilion!
“Hello, this is an exclusive lane for members. Non-members will be required to queue up,” a female receptionist with a ponytail blocked their way and said politely.
Wu Mo directly handed the platinum card to her. The manager of Treasure Pavilion, Gao Yue, had personally given him the card. Wu Mo could definitely pass through the member lane.
Wei Jiaming, who was standing in Treasure Pavilion’s hall, stared at the item in Wu Mo’s hand. When he realized that it was not a silver card at all, he became even more arrogant.
“Haha, this is really hilarious. What kind of place do you think Treasure Pavilion is? You can’t just enter by forging a card. I’m afraid you’re too simple-minded!”
At that moment, the young receptionist took the card and found the problem with just a glance. As a receptionist in Treasure Pavilion, she was familiar with silver cards. The thing in front of her was obviously not it.
At the thought of Mr. Wei’s words, the receptionist began to look more serious. “I’m sorry, this isn’t a silver card. I’ll have to consult the manager for a moment.”
After the receptionist finished speaking, she took out her walkie-talkie and walked to the side to call the store manager.
Seeing that, Wei Jiaming immediately spoke in a tone. “Tsk, tsk. You’ve practically thrown mud at our Divine Arms Academy. If you wanted to forge the card, you should’ve at least made it look alike. A real silver card looks like this. Have you seen it clearly?”
Wei Jiaming waved his silver card in front of Wu Mo and rambled with a face full of arrogance.
“Wu Mo, oh, Wu Mo, you really have no limits. Your strength has fallen to one star, but you still have the gall to wear a Four-star blacksmith uniform and forge a membership card. This is simply too much. When I go back, I’ll definitely talk to our classmates and make sure you become famous again. How about that?!”
The smile on his face was unbridled. To be able to see Wu Mo suffer felt even better than winning ¥5,000,000.
Wei Jiaming believed that once Mengyao saw Wu Mo’s true colors, she would definitely choose him as her other half!
Wu Mo did not show any signs of panic. Wei Jiaming was like a fly in front of him, merely annoying to his ears.
But Jiang Mengyao was much more flustered.
She thought that Wu Mo came to Treasure Pavilion because he was acting tough at first. Never did she expect that he would actually choose to forge a membership card.
She immediately grabbed Wu Mo’s arm to take him away. If Treasure Pavilion pursued him, Wu Mo might not even be able to graduate.
After all, a membership card was an extremely valuable thing. If it was a serious crime, it could lead to imprisonment!
Wu Mo’s life had already become so difficult. If he could not graduate successfully, then his three years of hard work in the academy would be completely wasted!
However, just as she reacted, Treasure Pavilion’s manager, Gao Yue, rushed out and saw the two people standing at the door.
“It’s over!”
Jiang Mengyao’s heart suddenly sank. At that instant, she felt extremely regretful. She should not have asked Wu Mo to come out today. Now that the store manager was there, the matter would definitely not end well!
As Jiang Mengyao thought about it, her beautiful eyes became teary, and her heart instantly jumped to her throat.
Gao Yue quickly walked toward Treasure Pavilion’s door. He had heard from the receptionist on the phone that someone might have forged a card, so he immediately rushed over.
He originally wanted to see who had the guts to do so. If it was confirmed, he would definitely use Treasure Pavilion’s authority to severely punish the person.
However, as soon as he reached the door, he saw Wu Mo being blocked by the receptionist. Wu Mo was Treasure Pavilion’s only special consultant.
“What’s going on? What are you doing? How dare you treat our VIP guest like this?!”
Gao Yue walked up to Wu Mo. When he saw the platinum card in the receptionist’s hand, he immediately understood the whole situation and berated her angrily.
After he finished speaking, he turned around. The expression on his face changed seamlessly from anger to respect. With an apologetic expression, he said to Wu Mo, “Mr. Wu, I’m really sorry. Our receptionist made a mistake. Please don’t take it to heart!”
Gao Yue’s expression changed, causing the people standing around the door to be instantly taken aback.
The young receptionist’s face turned pale. She looked at the store manager in fear, and her entire body could not help but tremble.
She did not expect to actually offend Treasure Pavilion’s VIP guest. For a moment, she was so shocked that she stood rooted to the ground.
Treasure Pavilion’s VIP guests were mostly influential figures in Shanglin City. For example, the CEO of the chamber of commerce, the city’s officials, as well as many billionaires. They were all characters that she could not afford to offend.
The receptionist was terrified, while Wei Jiaming’s face was filled with shock.
Before he was twenty years old, he had become powerful by relying on his status as an aristocrat to obtain a silver membership card. Wu Mo, on the other hand, was just a piece of trash. How could he obtain the status of a VIP guest in Treasure Pavilion?
He looked at the situation before him in disbelief. Everything felt so unreal.
