Bad Undergrad GPA, Good Grad School GPA; How to show on resume?

Just as the title says:

I have an undergrad degree in Finance and minor in Math. It took me until my junior year to really get the feel for school and my overall GPA in undergrad is 3.20 / 4.00 (Fresh soph ~3.0 average; Junior/Senior 3.4,3.5+ average after). I was able to get strong work experience as a Quant Researcher at an asset manager and transitioned to a large Multi Manager in a tech role. 

I went back to grad school in CS recently and I now have a 3.80/4.00 GPA (will be higher after this semester 3.85+). Since I graduate in December 2022, my plan is to apply to new-grad programs at different funds. How should I show the GPA's on my resume? 

My plan initially was to show just my grad school GPA; but would it look weird w/o undergrad GPA? I know that it will eventually come up in due dilligence anyway so is there any harm in getting in front of it w/o hurting my application chances.
