Chapter 22
A total of over twenty luxury supercars were all, in perfect unison, driving towards the Starbucks café.
Some onlooker girls by the roadside gasped in astonishment.
"Oh my god, this is... a Maserati, a Lamborghini, a Porsche 911, a Ferrari 488, an Aston Martin, a Maybach..."
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! That's insane! And there's even a Koenigsegg. Is this some kind of gathering for top-tier second-generation heirs?"
"Quick, take a picture and post it on my Moments! This scene, this spectacle, it's terrifyingly grand!"
"Wow! That handsome guy driving the Ferrari with one hand is so hot!" a girl with a great figure exclaimed.
"Handsome, my ass! If I were driving a Ferrari, I'd be even more handsome!" the girl's boyfriend retorted.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, all the luxury cars stopped in unison near the Starbucks café, blocking the entire street. The atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive, and the situation was spiraling out of control!
At that moment, a flamboyant young man with a toothpick in his mouth and wearing black sunglasses slowly got out of his car.
He then jogged over to Liu Shumao in a few quick strides.
"Young Master Liu, I heard someone was looking down on you. I'm here to see who's so bold as to offend our Young Master Liu. Are they tired of living?"
"Young Master Liu, hello!"
Suddenly, all the second-generation heirs who had been driving the supercars got out and walked over to Liu Shumao, respectfully calling out, "Young Master Liu!"
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
Liu Shumao's aura exploded.
Although this "Young Master Liu" hadn't said a single word from start to finish, it didn't stop him from becoming the center of attention.
So domineering! So impressive!
Yu Tian was completely stunned. Her worldview shattered, and she began to doubt her very existence.
Liu Shumao... was he really a super-rich heir?
Was his status really that awesome?
Was his wealth really this shocking?
Even this group of arrogant second-generation heirs had to respectfully call him "Young Master Liu" in his presence! God, how could something like this happen?
At this point, Yu Tian had no choice but to believe that the supercar worth over twenty million might really be his.
The facts were undeniably right in front of her.
It's easy to hire one actor, or even two. But now, there were over twenty second-generation heirs, roaring down the street in supercars. They couldn't all be actors, could they?
Even if they were actors, being able to assemble a cast like this meant you were pretty awesome yourself!
"Fuck that, I thought it was some big shot who dared to show off in front of Young Master Liu, but it turns out it's you, Liao Yonghui!" a rich heir with bleached-white hair said, seemingly recognizing the man in the polo shirt, his face full of disdain.
"Whitey, you know this guy?" Zhang Yunfei asked.
"Of course. This guy has no other skills, but he's quite the player when it comes to picking up girls. His whole group is in 'packaging design.' Totally low-class!" Whitey sneered.
"Packaging design? What the hell is that?"
"You guys wouldn't get it. These days, some losers, who are obviously broke, insist on pretending to be rich heirs to hook up with high-quality girls by curating their social media feeds. Their group has twenty or thirty guys. They rent a luxury car, and twenty of them take turns posing for photos. It costs each of them one or two hundred bucks, and they have a luxury car selfie. They rent a five-star presidential suite, two hundred bucks each, and they have a luxury suite photo. They rent a luxury yacht, five hundred bucks each, and they have a lavish cruise photo. Rent a plane... rent a villa... They all split the cost. The whole process costs less than two thousand per person, and their social media feeds look incredibly high-end, full of high-class venues, luxury cars, and villas. These girls think they've found their Prince Charming, but in reality, the guy might not even make five thousand a month. And that LV bag she's carrying? I can tell it's fake at a glance!" Whitey said with a grin, pointing at the LV bag in Yu Tian's hand and mocking her without restraint.
At this point, even Lin Fei, who was watching from the shadows, was stunned. So this was how you picked up girls?
You could land a high-quality girl for just a few thousand bucks?
Chinese people are so numerous. There's always a solution to any problem!
This move... was brilliant!
"That's impossible! How could my LV bag be fake? It has a legitimate receipt!"
"Hui, they're all lying, right? You're not lying to me, are you?" Yu Tian asked anxiously.
"A legitimate receipt? I can get you ten of them for a hundred bucks. You want some?"
The way Yu Tian looked at Liao Yonghui grew more and more suspicious.
Because everything Whitey said was spot on.
Liao Yonghui's social media feed was indeed incredibly lavish. One day it was a five-star hotel, the next a yacht to watch the sunrise, the day after that a villa and winery. It was as luxurious and high-end as it could get. Yu Tian had been so impressed by his feed at first, giving him a perfect first impression and feeling he was her ideal type, that she had entered into an unusual relationship with him in just half a month.
But in the last few days, she noticed Liao Yonghui didn't drive his car often, and the LV bag he bought her seemed to have been prepared in advance. She had thought it was a pleasant surprise at the time, so she didn't think much of it.
She was even very touched, and coupled with Liao Yonghui's sweet talk, she had been completely charmed and lost herself. Now that the flaws were pointed out, she suddenly found everything full of holes.
Seeing Yu Tian's increasingly suspicious gaze, and the menacing glares from the group of rich heirs, Liao Yonghui knew there was no point in keeping up the act. In the face of the genuine article, his counterfeit would be exposed. He decided to just give up and let it all hang out.
"Alright, Yu Tian, I'll lay my cards on the table. I'm not a rich heir, but I never said I was one, so I didn't really lie to you!"
"You...?"
"Don't look at me like that. I've seen plenty of gold-diggers like you. I spent two hundred bucks on that LV bag for you, and that's all you're worth. I paid for the hotel room, I paid for the meals. We went on three dates, and I spent over a thousand yuan on you in total. You should be grateful!"
Hearing this, Yu Tian was so angry she almost spat blood on the spot. It turned out she had really been played. And even knowing she'd been tricked, she could only admit her bad luck. She didn't even have a reason to call the police, because from beginning to end, Liao Yonghui hadn't scammed a single cent out of her. Legally speaking, there was no element of fraud. The two of you were just dating. Even if you slept together, you were a willing participant. You can't report someone for fraud just because of a romantic dispute, can you?
That reason wouldn't hold up.
Yu Tian's mentality collapsed!
The thought that she had lost a 'real' rich heir boyfriend who drove a supercar worth over twenty million for a scumbag who was just trying to get into her pants... and this man had been so good to her, devoted for six years, always there for her, thoughtful and considerate, and a top student from a 985 university to boot.
In comparison, Liu Shumao was practically an angel! She regretted it! She truly, deeply regretted it!
"Shumao..."
"Don't call me that. Since you said you wanted to break things off completely, I hope you won't contact me in the future either. Let's leave it at that." This time, Liu Shumao finally stood his ground.
At this point, more words were useless.
Liu Shumao turned and got into the Koenigsegg. Zhao Xiaoxuan sat in the passenger seat, and under the envious and jealous gazes of the onlooking girls, the luxury supercar sped away...
"So handsome! If only I had a boyfriend like that!"
"You guys don't know, I just saw with my own eyes that this woman broke up with him in the café. What an idiot! Trading a watermelon for a sesame seed, and now she doesn't even have the sesame seed. I'm speechless!"
"Heh, these green-tea bitches these days can't even see their own place. All they think about is landing a rich man. She deserves to be played."
"No sympathy for a gold-digger. She deserves it! Pah!"
After Liu Shumao drove away, Yu Tian was pointed at and talked about. Every harsh word was like a sharp knife plunged into her chest, making it bleed.
Finally, she completely broke down, sitting on the ground and crying hysterically, but no one sympathized with her. A pitiful person must have their own hateful qualities.
"Hey you, Liao Yonghui, right? You messed with Young Master Liu's woman and think you can just leave like that?" Just then, Lin Fei, who had been watching the drama from a corner, finally stepped out and blocked Liao Yonghui, who was trying to leave.
Liu Shumao was reserved and generally wouldn't do anything extreme, but this guy had messed with his brother's girl. Lin Fei wasn't about to let him off easily. The moment Lin Fei stood up, Zhang Yunfei immediately followed, and the group of rich heirs behind him surrounded Liao Yonghui. Liao Yonghui was so scared he almost pissed his pants.
"Br... brothers, I really didn't know she was Young Master Liu's woman. It's my fault for being blind. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll break up with her right now. I'll block her on WeChat too. I really won't dare do it again. Can you big brothers let me off the hook?"
"You think a 'sorry' is enough? If I stab you, can I just say 'sorry' and be done with it?" Whitey egged on.
"I'm not going to touch you. Slap yourself a hundred times. After you're done, you can leave. Or do you not believe me when I say I'll make it so you can't show your face in Hangzhou again?" Lin Fei said coldly.
"I'll do it, I'll do it right now!"
Liao Yonghui nodded obsequiously and started slapping himself, putting quite a lot of force into it.
It was no exaggeration to say that any one of these rich heirs could easily crush him, let alone a whole group. If he could get past this today, losing some face and suffering a bit was nothing. They were in the "packaging" business; they were true men who could bend and stretch. After a hundred slaps, Liao Yonghui's face was swollen.
"Not bad. A guy who's willing to go that hard on himself is somebody!" Zhang Yunfei nodded in surprise.
"Get lost. Don't let me see you again!"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving right now!" Finally, Liao Yonghui scurried away in his rented Porsche Cayenne, fleeing like a dog!
"Haha, Brother Tianshen, how was my acting just now?" Zhang Yunfe said with a laugh. In front of Lin Fei, he took off his sunglasses and dropped his usual flamboyant attitude.
"Fuck, so this guy is Brother Tianshen? I thought that Young Master Liu from before was the real Brother Tianshen. I even bowed to that kid!"
"I thought Young Master Liu was Brother Tianshen too. Turns out it was all a big misunderstanding!"
"I saw Brother Dafei call him Young Master Wen, so I called him Young Master Wen too!"
"So Brother Tianshen was just watching the show from the sidelines the whole time. No wonder, how could Brother Tianshen be interested in trash like that!"
"Wait a minute, don't you guys think Brother Tianshen's back looks a little familiar? Kind of like the Flash who went viral on Douyin a couple of days ago?"
"It really is!"
"Don't be ridiculous, how could Brother Tianshen be the Flash? He should be the 'God of Wealth!"
The group of rich heirs chimed in one after another, all with very humble attitudes.
"Brothers, thank you all for coming today. Liu Shumao is my brother. You showing him respect is giving me face. How about we go into the café for a bit? I'll buy you guys coffee!" Lin Fei said politely. Since they had helped him and shown support, it was only right to reciprocate.
But if he had to treat this group of rich heirs to a meal, Lin Fei couldn't afford it. Who knew if they would order something ridiculously expensive? If it was just coffee, he could still manage.
Although it hurt a bit to spend his own money, the system had refunded him several hundred thousand by now. He couldn't lose face!
"Sure, I'm getting thirsty anyway. By the way, Brother Tianshen, there's actually something I'd like to ask for your help with, I don't know if it's convenient." The rich heir with bleached-white hair suddenly spoke up.
Lin Fei's heart sank. You've got some nerve, don't you?
"It's like this, Brother Tianshen. I've recently got my eye on a female streamer. Her looks, figure, and talent are all top-notch, totally my type. It's just that her popularity isn't very high. I'd like to ask you to come show some support in her stream. Just say you were invited by 'Little White Dragon.' That would make me look so good!"
Hearing this, Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Supporting a female streamer? Wasn't that his specialty? Today, he would let these rich heirs see with their own eyes what a true, unparalleled God of Wealth looked like!
"Whitey, don't go too far. This is the first time you're meeting Brother Tianshen, and you're already making such a request?" Zhang Yunfei scolded.
"It's fine, it's a small matter. Which platform is this streamer you're talking about on?" Lin Fei said with a wave of his hand.
As they talked, the group walked into the Starbucks café.
"Brother Tianshen, the streamer I'm talking about is on Huya. I even have a Duke account there, but it's nothing special. If you could help, Brother Tianshen, I'd be so grateful!" Whitey pleaded, but he also had another motive. Up to this point, he was still a bit skeptical that the guy in front of him was really the God of Wealth, Tianshen.
Lin Fei was too young, and the clothes and shoes he was wearing added up to less than two hundred yuan. This was the complete image of a broke loser, how did it fit the aura of the God of Wealth, Tianshen?
It wasn't just Whitey who was a bit suspicious. The other rich heirs were more or less doubtful too. These days, there were too many bizarre scams, one had to be careful!
Since you're the God of Wealth, Tianshen, asking you to show support for a streamer in front of everyone isn't too much, is it?
Of course, if you asked Lin Fei to treat them to a meal, he might hesitate, but if you asked him to tip a streamer, that was no problem at all.
He still had 150 million left to spend on Huya, and his system's reserve funds were more than he could ever spend. Since you wanted to test him, he'd be happy to oblige!
"Waiter, twenty coffees, please!"
"Right away, sir!" The beautiful waitress inside the café said with a sweet smile. She knew exactly what kind of people this group was.
There were twenty luxury cars parked outside! When this group came in, the café was almost full!
There were five or six female office workers already in the café, and they were all looking a bit shy and flattered. Under normal circumstances, when would they ever see so many rich heirs at once?
For a moment, business at the Starbucks café suddenly boomed. The number of girls coming and going increased several times over, including many fashionable and beautiful young women.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Lin Fei took out the iPhone 13 that Zhang Yuning had bought for him. He turned on his mobile data and opened the Huya Live app.
"It really is Tianshen!" One of the rich heirs saw the familiar ID name "God Descends" on Lin Fei's phone and finally nodded in recognition. With this rich heir's loud exclamation, two gorgeously dressed and fashionable girls who had just entered also noticed them.
"Yanyan, did you hear that? Brother Tianshen?" One of the girls, wearing a cropped T-shirt and butt-lifting skinny jeans, said to her companion.
The other girl, named Yanyan, who was wearing a sleeveless red cropped top, a white pleated miniskirt that showed off her pair of snow-white, slender legs, also said excitedly, "I heard it too, Wenwen. Look at all these sports cars outside and these young masters. One of them must be Brother Tianshen."
These two were also minor streamers. They had seen all the luxury cars parked outside and wanted to come in to try their luck, hoping to make friends with a couple of rich heirs. They never expected to hear the legendary name of Brother Tianshen.
The two of them subtly moved closer to Lin Fei's group.
"Brother, what's the name of the streamer you like?" Lin Fei asked Whitey calmly.
"Brother Tianshen, the streamer I like is named 'Xiaoya Tongxue.' She's a streamer in the Star Show section and currently only has a little over fifty thousand subscribers. She's just a small-time streamer!"
"Alright!" Lin Fei nodded and started searching for the name "Xiaoya Tongxue." He didn't normally watch these small-time streamers, but there were many good-looking ones among them.
Through the search, Lin Fei opened Xiaoya Tongxue's live stream. Coincidentally, the streamer was not only live but also in a PK battle with another streamer.
Nowadays, a large part of the income for female streamers on major platforms comes from PK battles. Because PKs encourage viewers to spend money and allow them to interact with other streamers to gain fans, this leads to many streamers being in a PK almost as soon as they go live.
"Not bad, she's really something!" Lin Fei couldn't help but praise. Looking at the beauty on his phone screen, her looks were easily a 90 out of 100!
This Xiaoya Tongxue, among all the female streamers Lin Fei had ever seen, could rank in the top three for looks. Even Zhang Yuning might not be more beautiful. Though, of course, who knew what she looked like with the beauty filters off!
"Brother Whitey's taste is as good as ever!"
"Not bad, not bad, really good. So hot!"
"Damn, isn't that the school belle of the Music Academy, Wu Qianya? She's streaming on Huya?"
Among the crowd, a younger rich heir seemed to recognize the streamer.
"The Music Academy? The Hangzhou Conservatory of Music?"
"Yeah, Wu Qianya is quite famous at the conservatory. A buddy of mine tried to woo her before but failed. Who knew Brother Whitey had already set his sights on her!"
Just as the rich heirs were chatting, Xiaoya Tongxue seemed to have finally noticed that a God of Wealth had entered her stream.
The super-godly emperor entrance effect Lin Fei had activated was so flashy it was hard to miss. And this "Super God Emperor" was none other than Tianshen, who had just spent half a billion on Huya yesterday.
"Wow! Welcome, Brother Tianshen! Good afternoon, Brother Tianshen!"
"Oh my, I'm a little excited. I never thought Brother Tianshen would come to my stream!" Xiaoya exclaimed excitedly.
"Xiaoya, you're going to be famous. Every streamer God Descends visits becomes famous!"
"God Descends is awesome! Where is my God Descends Army?"
"God Descends is so generous! Thanks to Boss Yan for the thousand treasure maps, haha, did I speak too soon?"
"God Descends is so generous!"
Lin Fei hadn't even started sending gifts yet, but the comments in the stream were already filled with "God Descends is so generous!"
"A friend told me there's a super cute girl here, and he wasn't wrong!"
"Fuck, Little White Dragon, do you know God Descends? That's so impressive!"
After Lin Fei came online, Whitey also took out his phone and logged in!
"Of course, Tianshen is my good buddy. You guys have no idea what my dashing self, Little White Dragon, is capable of!" Whitey typed, flexing a bit.
Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Lin Fei's mouth. He opened the gift interface and started sending gifts with practiced ease.
"Wow! Thank you, Brother Tianshen, for the treasure map! Thank you, Brother Tianshen!"
Just as Wu Qianya finished saying thank you, she saw that the number of treasure map gifts had already surpassed thirty!
And it was still increasing at a rate of two per second. This was a luxury gift worth five thousand yuan each! How come in Tianshen's hands, it felt like he was sending free glow sticks?
"It's starting, Tianshen is at it again!"
"Brother Tianshen, how much money do you have? Can you spare some for me?"
"Even if it were Principal Wang, he'd go broke if he spent like this every day, right?"
The gifts flew across the screen. The streamer, Xiaoya Tongxue, was already dumbfounded. But even more dumbfounded were the group of rich heirs watching Lin Fei send gifts in person. Watching someone send gifts in a stream, at most, you'd just marvel at how rich they were. But seeing a God of Wealth in the flesh, using his phone to tip a streamer was something else. And in just a few short minutes, he had already sent over a million!
And judging by Tianshen's speed, it seemed like he had no intention of stopping!
Too exaggerated!
Too insanely rich!
"Damn it, Brother Tianshen, don't send too many gifts. It's only been a few minutes, and you've already sent enough to buy a sports car!"
Whitey quickly tried to stop him. He was the one who asked Lin Fei to show support, but now the guy had sent millions to the streamer he was interested in. How were you supposed to repay a favor like that?
Because the favor was too big to repay!
"It's nothing, just a few treasure maps. Do any of you have other streamers you like? I'll go show them all some support today, how about that?" Lin Fei said with a smile. Unbeknownst to him, the number of treasure map gifts in the stream had already reached a thousand. Whitey almost knelt!
"Brother Tianshen, that's five million! Stop, please stop! I can't repay you!"
"I'm not asking you to repay me. I think this streamer is quite nice. I'll send ten thousand treasure maps first. By the way, can one of you guys tap the screen for me? I need to use the restroom."
Shocked! Stunned! Had Brother Tianshen become so insanely rich that he was asking someone else to tap the screen for him? Whitey took the phone like an idiot, and Lin Fei really got up and left.
