"Jiang Chen, your sour grapes ridicule is pointless!"

Xu Ruozhe's tone shifted as he stared straight at Jiang Chen again.

Today, he had to make Jiang Chen look foolish!

"Do you think it's appropriate for Su Qingqing to go to the club with you in a taxi?" Xu Ruozhe sneered again.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "No need, I have a car!"

"You have a car? A bicycle, perhaps?"

Xu Ruozhe sneered, "Jiang Chen, the Flame Robe Club is a high-end establishment. Are you planning to take Su Qingqing there on a bicycle or an electric scooter? Don't tell me you have a car, that outfit of yours probably didn't cost more than two hundred, right? You have a car? Besides, you can't keep up with us on an electric scooter. Do you even know where the Flame Robe Club is? Obviously, you've never been there, and they don't let bicycles or electric scooters in!"

"Haha..."

"Giggle..."

The classmates all laughed, looking at Jiang Chen with strange glances.

Jiang Chen responded with a light smile, "I've never been to the Flame Robe Club, and I don't know where it is. Plus, I don't drive because I've been drinking and can't drive."

He took out car keys and turned to hand them to Su Qingqing, "Qing Qing, you haven't been drinking, you drive!"

"Alright!" Su Qingqing took the keys, chuckled, and nodded lightly.

"He really has a car?"

"It looks like it's not an electric scooter!"

"But the sedan can't be a luxury car, can it?"

"Looking at his clothes, if he has a car, it must be one under a hundred thousand!"

The classmates all whispered among themselves.

"Jiang Chen, do you feel okay with Su Qingqing riding in your shabby car in front of a Maserati?" Xu Ruozhe asked contemptuously.

Su Qingqing smiled faintly, "Xu Ruozhe, if Jiang Chen's car is low-end, then what does that make yours?"

"I..." Xu Ruozhe was taken aback.

Su Qingqing raised her hand and pressed Jiang Chen's car key.

Beep beep!

The Knight XV, which everyone had coveted earlier, responded, its headlights flashing on instantly.

Whoa!

The surroundings suddenly went quiet.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, in total shock.

"That, that Knight XV is Jiang Chen's car?"

"How is that possible? He, he owns that car?!"

"No way!"

"This... He's a low-key rich guy!"

The classmates were all profoundly shocked, staring at Jiang Chen with disbelief etched across their faces.

Xu Ruozhe was dumbstruck, his eyes bulging, gawking at Jiang Chen, unable to snap back to reality.

"Let's go, I really haven't been to the Flame Robe Club. Will you lead the way?" Jiang Chen said smilingly to Xu Ruozhe.

Xu Ruozhe's cheeks twitched with embarrassment. Just a moment ago, he'd been praising the man driving that car. Now that man had stepped forward.

At this moment, he truly felt like finding a hole to crawl into.

Suddenly, he snapped back to reality, realized something, and confirmed once more, "You really haven't been to the Flame Robe Club?"

"I really haven't been!" Jiang Chen chuckled and shook his head.

"Turns out you're just a nouveau riche!"

Xu Ruozhe breathed a sigh of relief internally and regained his sense of superiority. A contemptuous look appeared on his face:

"In Dingjing, almost all the high society people have been to the Flame Robe Club. But it's not a place you can simply enter with money; it requires a certain social status. Mere nouveau riche can't become members above the gold level at the Flame Robe Club, at most they can be bronze or silver members. You haven't been to the Flame Robe Club but drive this car, it only shows you're nothing but a nouveau riche!"

"I… I can indeed be considered a nouveau riche!" Jiang Chen didn't mind at all and nodded with a light laugh.

He really was a nouveau riche. The emergence of his dream memories was an explosion of fortune, and the hundred-billion company that his grandpa gave him was another. These two "explosions" were what he was relying on now!

"Then you have no idea of the gap between you and the upper class!"

Xu Ruozhe raised his head proudly.

"Alright, let's go!" He called out and headed towards his Maserati, then turned his head and shouted to Li Wen'na, "Wen'na, can you drive for me?"

"Sure thing." Li Wen'na's eyes twinkled, and she glanced at Su Qingqing with an excited expression before following Xu Ruozhe into the Maserati.

"Let's go as well." Jiang Chen called out to Su Qingqing, and the two headed towards their Knight XV.

The classmates looked with envy at the two couples. Although Xu Ruozhe had found a bit of superiority from learning that Jiang Chen hadn't been to the Flame Robe Club, they didn't share that inexplicable sense of superiority.

Looking at the Maserati and then at the Knight XV, whether boys or girls, they all seemed to prefer the Knight XV, their gazes fixed on the vehicle. It wasn't until Su Qingqing drove out of the hotel parking lot that the others hurriedly got into their cars to follow.

Not too long after, a Maserati drove into the parking lot of the Flame Robe Club, followed closely by a Knight XV and then by a dozen cars of different brands.

Click! Click! Click!

One by one, the car doors opened, and Jiang Chen and the others got out of the cars.

While in the car, Xu Ruozhe had thought a lot, and after getting out, he walked straight up to Jiang Chen, stared deeply at him, took out his Flame Robe Club membership card as if to prove a point, and said with a conceited face:

"Jiang Chen, I'll tell you once again, being a nouveau riche is useless!

In Dingjing, without a certain status, it's impossible to get by, no matter how much money you have.

I have the membership card, you don't. Without me, you can't get into the Flame Robe Club.

This is the difference between you and me!"

Jiang Chen looked amusedly at Xu Ruozhe, really not in the mood to argue with someone so full of himself. Because, no matter what you say, the other party will always find some way to feel superior and boost their own ego.

Seeing Jiang Chen offer no rebuttal, Xu Ruozhe thought he had softened Jiang Chen's stance and immediately held his head high, his confidence skyrocketing.

Once all the classmates had arrived, Xu Ruozhe was the first to enter the Flame Robe Club, with everyone else following behind.

"Welcome!" Upon entering the club, eight Flame Robe-clad women on both sides of the door bowed with smiles.

"So this is the Flame Robe Club!"

"It's so luxurious!"

"Yeah, I never imagined I'd get to come here one day!"

"We have Xu Ruozhe to thank for that!"

Among the classmates, many came from modest backgrounds, and upon entering the club and seeing the decorations, they couldn't help but express their amazement.

Xu Ruozhe glanced at his classmates and deliberately raised his head towards Jiang Chen as he walked towards the reception.

"Good evening, sir!" The receptionist greeted Xu Ruozhe with a smile as he approached.

Xu Ruozhe pulled out his membership card, handed it over with an air of arrogance, and declared loudly, "Give me a big private room!"

"Certainly!" The receptionist took the membership card and began to proceed!

"Su Qingqing… kid, is that you?!" A surprised shout suddenly rang out. All the classmates turned to look as a middle-aged man and a young man approached them.
