After hanging up.
Lin Feng opened WeChat and went to his high school class group chat.
He tapped on it and saw that they were still chatting.
"You guys have no idea, I was at the mall today and actually saw Lin Feng in a women’s lingerie store."
"Lin Feng? A women’s lingerie store?"
"What’s going on? What was Lin Feng doing in a place like that?"
"What else could he be doing? Buying something, of course."
"No way? What would Lin Feng be doing buying lingerie?"
"Does he have some kind of weird fetish?"
"That’s so gross! He’s definitely using it for... you know."
"I don’t know about any fetishes, but I do know he has terrible taste."
"The guy has a girlfriend, and man, is she ugly."
"Especially her figure. It’s a complete disaster."
"Wang Shan, you’re not lying to us, are you?"
"We all know about your history with Lin Feng."
"Why would I lie to you?"
"She’s ugly and loves to cause drama. You all just haven’t seen Lin Feng’s girlfriend."
"If you actually saw her, you’d probably lose your appetite."
"No way?"
"I mean, Lin Feng’s a pretty handsome guy. How could he end up with someone ugly?"
"But it’s the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can just ask Lin Feng."
At first, everyone was a little skeptical of what Wang Shan was saying.
But now that Wang Shan had said that,
they were starting to believe it.
"So Lin Feng really got an ugly girlfriend?"
"I don’t know, but if Wang Shan is saying it, it must be true, right?"
The class group chat was a hotbed for gossip to begin with.
Everyone was just online enjoying the drama.
Lin Feng just never expected that one day, he’d be the subject of the drama.
Scrolling down, he saw the messages where Wei Tianyu had stepped in to call out Wang Shan.
"Wang Shan, everyone knows your little game."
"Besides, even if Lin Feng has a girlfriend, what’s it to you?"
"You’re the real one who’s ugly and causing trouble."
After being called out by Wei Tianyu like that, Wang Shan obviously couldn’t stand for it.
So of course, she had to fire back.
There was a gap in Wei Tianyu’s messages.
’He must have been calling me then.’
Lin Feng quickly scanned through the chat history.
He got the gist of the situation.
Wang Shan was a classic case: she felt slighted, so she ran to the high school group chat to bad-mouth Lin Feng.
The rest were just confused spectators enjoying the drama.
Watching the messages continue to fly by, Lin Feng sent a red envelope straight into the chat.
There were only forty-six people in the high school class group.
Lin Feng sent out forty-four red envelopes, each for 200.
It cost him 8,800 in total.
’Why forty-four envelopes for forty-six people?’
’Because I didn’t include myself.’
’And the other person left out was, of course, Wang Shan.’
The note attached to the envelopes was "Wedding Candy."
The class group chat, which was already buzzing with activity,
immediately exploded with notifications after Lin Feng dropped a sudden stream of large red envelopes.
The screen was flooded with notifications.
The entire screen was filled with notifications of people claiming the red envelopes.
They had originally thought they’d be lucky to get a few yuan each.
After all, they were all students.
But in reality, every single envelope contained 200.
The forty-four red envelopes were snatched up in just over twenty seconds.
"Thanks, Lin Feng!"
"Lin Feng is a legend!"
"I can’t believe I got a 200 red envelope!"
"I got 200 too!"
"No way? Lin Feng actually sent out so many red envelopes worth 200?"
"I’ve got nothing more to say. Lin Feng is a legend, period."
"Lin Feng is a legend!"
"Hey, did you guys notice the note on the envelopes said ’Wedding Candy’?"
"So, that means Lin Feng really does have a girlfriend?"
"So it’s true after all."
"Why didn’t I get a red envelope?"
While everyone was praising Lin Feng, one girl sent a message.
Everyone had gotten a red envelope except for her.
If it had been a small amount, she would’ve let it slide, but this was a red envelope for two hundred.
She definitely had to ask.
"Ling’er, you didn’t get a red envelope?"
"Really? I thought Lin Feng sent out a ton of them."
"Yeah, Lin Feng sent out forty-four envelopes."
"Huh? Wait a minute. Aren’t there forty-six of us in the class total?"
"Even if Lin Feng didn’t take one for himself, that still means one person was left out."
Someone had noticed the discrepancy.
Then everyone went silent.
They were clearly confused about what Lin Feng was doing.
Logically speaking, he’d already spent 8,800.
He surely wasn’t short on the last two hundred.
If it wasn’t about the money, then it had to be intentional.
Seeing the confusion in the group chat,
Lin Feng simply tagged Wang Shan.
"Sorry, there was no red envelope for you. Please return the one you claimed to Wang Ling’er."
Lin Feng had just lured everyone out with his red envelope barrage.
And now, he had tagged Wang Shan in front of everyone.
Everyone understood his message loud and clear.
’You spread rumors about me in the class group chat and you still expect to get my red envelope?’
Wang Shan had some serious nerve.
To actually go and claim that red envelope.
But now, this was the most awkward part. If Wang Shan hadn’t claimed the red envelope,
none of this would be happening.
So, the question was, would Wang Shan actually return the money?
Wang Shan, who had been talking nonstop in the chat just moments before, seemed to have vanished after claiming the red envelope.
Even when that girl, Ling’er, tagged her,
Wang Shan gave no response, not even saying a single word.
Everyone knew exactly what was going on. This person was clearly planning to take the money, pretend she hadn’t seen the messages, and just play dead!
Two hundred wasn’t a fortune, but it wasn’t an insignificant amount either.
Having to give it back after you’ve already received it would definitely sting a little.
But sting or no sting,
Lin Feng had already made it clear that the red envelope wasn’t for her.
For Wang Shan to still try and keep it would be going too far.
Wei Tianyu led the charge, tagging Wang Shan and telling her to return the money.
Other classmates quickly followed suit, all tagging her.
Whether it was because she was genuinely embarrassed or not,
a few minutes later, she finally sent the red envelope.
"Tch! It’s just one red envelope. Is it really that big of a deal?"
"I wasn’t looking at my phone just now. Why was everyone in such a rush!"
Wang Shan added a few more comments after sending the money.
As for whether she had truly not seen the messages, probably only she herself knew.
But this time, Wang Shan had pretty much destroyed her reputation within the group.
Watching the messages that were still pouring into the group chat,
Lin Feng smiled.
He put his phone back in his pocket.
’If a problem can be solved with money, it’s not really a problem.’
Take this time, for example.
Lin Feng only had to use three hours’ worth of his Money Blessing to deal with Wang Shan.
Not only had he shattered the rumors Wang Shan was spreading, but he’d also managed to ruin her reputation in the high school group chat.
’Killing two birds with one stone, right?’
