"No, no, this money was all donated anyway, so I don't need it."
While everyone else was eyeing the twenty thousand yuan in Meng Xue's hand with envy, Meng Xue surprisingly returned the twenty thousand yuan to Ling Feng.
The people around were stunned again.
Some girls even called out to Meng Xue, "Meng Xue, what's wrong with you? This isn't like you!"
"The last time you lent him ten thousand yuan for the donation, I felt something was off. This time you've taken back twenty thousand! You don't want this money, are you stupid?"
As the girl spoke, she took the twenty thousand yuan back on her own initiative.
Meng Xue was almost driven mad by this.
What a joke!
This was Ling Feng's money, how could she dare to accept it!
Moreover, she knew very well that although this ten thousand yuan was nothing to Ling Feng, letting Ling Feng owe her this money, as time went by, the amount returned would be more than just twenty thousand yuan.
"I've returned the money to you. If you don't want it, you can donate it to others who need help!"
Ling Feng said indifferently, how could he not understand Meng Xue's thoughts?
With this simple sentence, he crushed all of Meng Xue's intentions.
"Alright then, I'll donate it to the welfare society," Meng Xue said somewhat dejectedly. However, she also knew that a person like Ling Feng could not be pushed too hard; with time, there would always be opportunities.
At this moment, Xu Yang could no longer hold back. He slammed the table and stood up abruptly, roaring, "Ling Feng, what do you mean? When Siqi needed money to save her life, you didn't come up with the money. Today, seeing that Siqi has recovered, you're showing off with money. What kind of behavior is this?"
If looks could kill, Xu Yang would have already dismembered Ling Feng a thousand times over.
Unfortunately, Ling Feng didn't respond to his words at all, treating them as if he were farting.
The clear will clear itself!
Moreover, if Ling Feng hadn't provided the money, then none of these people would have been able to talk about getting money.
Because they were simply not qualified!
The previous donations had already been returned by Xu Yang, and all of Lin Siqi's hospital expenses and debt repayment fees were deducted from her account!
This money was what Ling Feng had asked Yang Fei to transfer to Lin Siqi!
The atmosphere in the private room immediately became tense.
But at this moment, the classmates could no longer be as arrogant as before.
Borrowing ten thousand and returning twenty thousand, and all within a few days!
This kind of gesture was something none of them could pull off.
Xu Yang was indeed rich, but it seemed that Ling Feng was definitely not lacking either!
Moreover, Ling Feng had brought someone who looked like an assistant or bodyguard this time, and this person looked quite fierce.
Seeing his sycophantic team disband on the spot and stop supporting him, Xu Yang became even more enraged.
But at this moment, Lin Siqi, who was beside him, spoke.
"Xu Yang, perhaps what Ling Feng said is true. Maybe he really didn't bring money that day..."
Hearing this, Xu Yang immediately glared at Lin Siqi.
This action startled Lin Siqi. Ever since she was saved by Xu Yang, she had always felt that she owed Xu Yang.
At the same time, she was also very afraid of Xu Yang.
Because she had heard from Yang Min that Xu Yang had gone to buy a ring today, and might be proposing to her.
Although Lin Siqi was very grateful to Xu Yang, she had never thought of marrying him.
If Xu Yang really took out the ring, Lin Siqi really didn't know what to do.
Therefore, from the very beginning, her smile had been very forced.
Seeing Lin Siqi speaking up for Ling Feng, Xu Yang became even more displeased.
He glared fiercely at Ling Feng and then said to Lin Siqi, "Siqi, don't you see Ling Feng's true colors? That day he knew you were hospitalized and owed usury, he didn't give a single cent and ran away. Why? Because he didn't want to save you at all!"
"And why did he chase after you today when he saw you were discharged from the hospital?"
"Because he's just coveting your beauty, he's a scoundrel who acts on lust!"
Xu Yang's words sounded reasonable, and the surrounding crowd nodded in agreement.
It seemed as if the facts were indeed like this.
But Lin Siqi's face was still pale, and she whispered timidly, "No, I don't think Ling Feng is that kind of person."
Seeing Lin Siqi still defending Ling Feng, Xu Yang's eyes turned bloodshot and red. In his excitement, he pointed at Lin Siqi and rebuked, "You... Lin Siqi! What's wrong with you?"
"It was me who gave money to save you, and he, Ling Feng, was the one who saw you in danger and didn't help. Now, you're speaking up for him everywhere! Is this how you repay me?"
As soon as he said this, many people around started whispering.
"That's right, Siqi, you're being a bit excessive."
"Young Master Xu is indeed right. After all, all the money before was paid by Young Master Xu."
"Siqi, I'm not trying to criticize you, but Young Master Xu settled the usury for you and paid off your hospital debts. Didn't you say you still had quite a bit of money left in your card before? This money was all given by Young Master Xu, so how can you speak up for an outsider?"
"Alas, Young Master Xu, don't be angry. It's not worth it for such an ungrateful woman like Lin Siqi. If you're looking for a girlfriend, I'd be very happy to be yours."
...
Everyone stood on the moral high ground, constantly accusing Lin Siqi.
Lin Siqi's pretty face turned even paler. She didn't dare to look at Xu Yang and repeatedly shook her head, saying, "No... no, I'm not an ungrateful person..."
Before Lin Siqi could finish speaking, Ling Feng's voice calmly sounded, "Xu Yang, you're saying you saved Siqi?"
Hearing this, Xu Yang's heart trembled.
He turned back and glared at Ling Feng, shouting, "Of course it was me, do you think it was you, the scoundrel who refused to help?"
Seeing Xu Yang repeatedly insulting Ling Feng, Yang Fei had already marked him as a target to be killed, but Ling Feng had been stopping him.
"I remember the money you donated that day was only about fifty to sixty thousand yuan. Could this money help Siqi?" Ling Feng asked again.
This time, before Xu Yang could speak, Meng Xue on the side said first, "Siqi didn't use any of our donations. Someone settled Siqi's hospital debts, and her usury was also paid off."
Some people, hearing the sarcasm in Meng Xue's words, immediately retorted, "What do you mean someone settled it? Meng Xue, didn't you see it? It was Young Master Xu who resolved this matter!"
Xu Yang also puffed out his chest, putting on a savior's demeanor, and stared at Ling Feng with contempt.
It was as if he was saying, "Kid, you want to compete with me for a woman? You're not worthy!"
Ling Feng shook his head dismissively at Xu Yang, "You say you gave the money, so where is the transfer record? Do you have any evidence to show that this money was given by you?"
