After Pretending To Lose All My Money, I Learn Of Human's True Nature-Chapter 17

In the car, Jiang Feng fastened his seatbelt and started the engine. As the engine roared to life, he carried this girl, who was a goddess in the hearts of countless men, to the hospital. In the center of Shanghai, traffic was sort of bad. Jiang Feng drove very slowly and followed the traffic regulations. His expression was calm, and from time to time, he would turn his head to look at Lin Miaoxue in the passenger seat.

It had been more than half a year since they had graduated. Besides, after graduation, the two of them had lost contact. In the past six months, they had not exchanged a single word, not even to discuss a fight between common acquaintances. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

While looking at Lin Miaoxue, who was sitting beside him, Jiang Feng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. It had only been half a year, so he hadn’t expected Lin Miaoxue to be so different. Even though she had become even more beautiful, her style wasn’t as icy as before. Just this floral dress was enough to prove it.

Jiang Feng thought that Lin Miaoxue had changed style in the past half a year. But little did he know that Lin Miaoxue had gotten ready especially for him today. If she hadn’t come out to meet Jiang Feng, Lin Miaoxue wouldn’t have dressed so elegantly. At least, in the company, she still had to be cold and aloof. After all, she wasn’t an insignificant employee. As a capable person, she had quickly risen to the management level within half a year after graduation.

Now, there were more than a dozen employees under her in the company. Compared to people her age, she was really successful and outstanding! However, Jiang Feng knew nothing about it. Of course, he wanted to slowly understand what had changed, but he didn’t know how to speak up.

Meanwhile, Lin Miaoxue, who was sitting in the car, couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Although she looked very calm on the surface, she was shy and anxious on the inside. She had never sat so close to Jiang Feng in an enclosed environment. Maybe once, a year ago, when there had been no one else in the classroom. As she looked at Jiang Feng, who was driving with a calm and confident expression, Lin Miaoxue felt that he had changed a lot. He was completely different from the shy scholar she had known before.

Jiang Feng was now confident and radiant. He also looked more mature, as if he had grown up overnight. She was now full of doubts about him, especially since he had driven a luxury car to pick her up today. She was a little confused. That morning, he had posted news of his bankruptcy on his WeChat Moments, which had caused countless people in the group to show how jealous of him they had been. Those jealous people had started cursing him like crazy. But in the afternoon, he had driven a luxury car to pick her up. And from the looks of it, he really didn’t seem like someone who had just lost ten million dollars in investments. The confident and indifferent smile on his face didn’t make it look like he had lost 10 million yuan either. Instead, he looked like he had just made money.

She had countless thoughts in her mind, and Jiang Feng was right in front of her, which only filled her with more curiosity. She wanted to understand him, but she didn’t know how to ask him about this. The two of them just sat in the car and drove to the hospital without saying a word. Both of them had their own secret thoughts and wanted to say a lot to each other, but for the time being, they didn’t know how to speak up.

...

As Jiang Feng was driving silently. Lin Miaoxue, whose mind was filled with questions, inadvertently saw the lottery ticket that Jiang Feng had placed in front of the driver’s seat. With a hint of curiosity, she reached out and picked up the lottery ticket. Although she was not a fan of gambling, thanks to the guidance of Liu Xinyao, she still understood how it worked. That afternoon, after the two of them had drunk coffee, Liu Xinyao had taken her to the betting shop next door and bought a lottery ticket.

After taking a careful look at the lottery ticket Jiang Feng had bought, Lin Miaoxue immediately recognized it. This was the same one Liu Xinyao had bought for the national football match tomorrow. She looked at Jiang Feng’s bet and the odds on it. She then took one last look at the amount of the bet and frowned. It was a total of one million, which surprised her a little. After all, she knew Jiang Feng’s family situation very well. One million might not mean much to her family, but it was extremely important to Jiang Feng.

But what really made her frown was Jiang Feng’s bet. He had bet that the national football team’s match against Syria would end with a crushing 1-5 score! Even she, a football idiot, had more or less learned some information today. It was almost impossible for such a score to occur! Countless people had guessed that the national football team would not lose. Everyone believed that their team would win this game without letting the other team score at all, but Jiang Feng’s influence made her feel extremely puzzled. She turned her head to look at him, feeling rather lost. Jiang Feng naturally saw Lin Miaoxue looking at the lottery ticket.

At that moment, the words that he had been preparing in his heart were ready to be spoken. Just as Lin Miaoxue was about to ask him why he had bought this lottery ticket, Jiang Feng turned his head to look at her and spoke first.

“I just casually made that post on my WeChat Moments. I was trying to be funny.

“I’m sorry I fooled you. Actually... I’m not broke at all!”
