As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Lin Miaoxue’s expression became a little cold. She was a little unhappy, even a bit angry. Jiang Feng looked at her expression and realized that she was cross.
He quickly explained. “Please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to play a prank on you.”
But what he didn’t know was that Lin Miaoxue didn’t care about what he had said at the moment. She wasn’t angry because of Jiang Feng’s WeChat Moments. It was because Jiang Feng had actually spent a million dollars on an almost ridiculous bet! She really didn’t understand where Jiang Feng got such confidence. Lin Miaoxue even suspected that she had misjudged him.
He was completely different from the Jiang Feng she used to know. In the past, Jiang Feng used to work part-time to earn money during the holidays, and the money had been spent on his studies and housing. He had never spent money recklessly to buy any unnecessary luxury goods. It was precisely because of his character that he was more charming than the students who used to wear famous brands but had no substance. This was also the reason many students had been jealous of Jiang Feng.
Their families had money, so they could eat good food, get nice clothes, and spend the rest of their money on anything they liked. They were also generous with their money, even more so than Jiang Feng. However, although Jiang Feng was wearing ordinary clothes and sitting there quietly, he was still more attractive than them! This made them extremely jealous, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Lin Miaoxue had also admired Jiang Feng’s unworldly attitude. He used to be self-sufficient and thrifty. However, he had actually spent a million dollars on a bet now. Forget about the fact that he wouldn’t hit the jackpot. Just the amount alone was enough to shock her. Could he have just gotten rich and begun squandering his money? Lin Miaoxue really couldn’t take it anymore. She opened her mouth and said what she wanted to with a cold expression.
“I’m not talking about your WeChat Moments, but about this lottery ticket!
“How could you spend a million dollars on a result with such bad odds that it’s practically impossible to win?
“Your house was just demolished, so you should have gotten ten million. You just spent a million just like that. Isn’t that a little...”
Lin Miaoxue stopped mid-sentence. She was aware of her limits, so as long as Jiang Feng understood what she meant, she didn’t have to continue.
Seeing that Lin Miaoxue was a little angry and had begun lecturing him again, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but laugh. He remembered that back when Lin Miaoxue had been the class monitor in school, she used to do the same thing. However, her expression turned even uglier when he laughed.
Jiang Feng quickly said, “Things aren’t as serious as you think. I did indeed do what my friends posted about. I invested in Bitcoin.
“I used my family’s demolition fund and earned 100 million in one night!
“I’m not taking advantage of my good luck by betting a million now. I just used a small amount of money to try this out.”
Jiang Feng smiled as he addressed Lin Miaoxue’s concerns.
“You made 100 million?!”
Lin Miaoxue couldn’t help being a little shocked when she heard Jiang Feng’s words. She used to be in the same class as Jiang Feng, so she had naturally studied finance as well. Although she hadn’t been as good of a student as Jiang Feng, she had definitely not been bad either. She had been one of the top students in the department! Even though she didn’t invest tens of millions of yuan in her line of work, she had invested millions of yuan several times!
She knew very well how difficult it was to invest and how big the stakes were. Earning five million yuan in a short period of time with 50% profit was already very impressive. Of course, it wasn’t as if this had never happened before. It was just that it was very rare. As for Jiang Feng’s ability to earn 100 million with 1,000% profit overnight, it could be considered rare too! Only something like Bitcoin, whose value had increased thousands of times in just a few years, could achieve it. Jiang Feng’s financial management had shocked her just as much. Indeed, a top student was always a top student. His understanding of finance was not something that ordinary people could understand.
“Yes, if it weren’t for my good luck, I wouldn’t have placed that bet,” Jiang Feng replied with a smile as he saw Lin Miaoxue’s surprise. He did not mention anything about the system, and Lin Miaoxue did not doubt him at all.
She was just a little amazed by Jiang Feng’s financial management. At the same time, she could understand why Jiang Feng would buy a lottery ticket for a million dollars. After all, even if he lost one million yuan on this bet, he would still have 99 million yuan! This one million yuan was really insignificant. It was just a small amount of money! Still, Jiang Feng’s bet was too outrageous, and she couldn’t understand it no matter how hard she tried. However, since Jiang Feng had said so much, she couldn’t say anything else.
“Even if that’s the case, you can’t do this again in the future.” Lin Miaoxue’s furrowed brows relaxed as she spoke to Jiang Feng with some anger and concern in her voice.
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Feng felt a little warm in his heart. He was very satisfied to know that someone cared about him so much even when he was down and out. However, when he came back to his senses, he realized something.
As he drove, he replied, “You’re my classmate, not my girlfriend. Why should I listen to you?
“If you were my girlfriend, I’d listen to you.”
After Jiang Feng said that, he smiled and turned his head to look at Lin Miaoxue.
“You wish. It’s your money anyway. You can spend it however you want. I don’t care.”
Upon hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Lin Miaoxue rolled her eyes and spoke in a delicate voice.
Then, she couldn’t help but feel a little shy. To be honest, Jiang Feng’s words had tugged at her heartstrings. She covered the side of her face and waited for her blush to fade before turning her head to look at Jiang Feng. She looked at his handsome face with a faint smile.
Lin Miaoxue realized that Jiang Feng seemed to be even more charming than before. His charm was indescribable. Besides, she seemed unable to see through him right now. He was only in his early twenties, yet he was much more mature than before. Retracting her gaze, Lin Miaoxue looked out of the window. She didn’t know what to think once again.
...
Soon, she and Jiang Feng arrived at the entrance of the hospital. The hospital parking lot was crowded, so Jiang Feng searched for a long time before he found a parking spot by the roadside. After he parked the car slowly, many people gathered around the spot. Most of them were passers-by, but among them were also some men waiting for their family members in the hospital. However, Jiang Feng didn’t care about these people. He naturally understood everyone’s curiosity. If they liked to watch, then let them watch.
“We’re here. My sister is in the orthopedic department.” Jiang Feng turned the car off and spoke to Lin Miaoxue.
“Okay.” Lin Miaoxue nodded and unbuckled her seatbelt.
However, at that moment, she suddenly turned her head around and looked at Jiang Feng with a serious expression. “Don’t you have a girlfriend?”
“I broke up with her a long time ago!”
He answered Lin Miaoxue’s sudden question without the slightest hesitation. He just blurted it out with incomparable ease and naturalness. As soon as she heard his words, Lin Miaoxue’s brows instantly curved up and a charming smile blossomed on her face.
