Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 522 - 479: You Can Endure Even This??

But what’s there to pretend about? With Li Wentao’s family background, he’s no Young Master, and it’s impossible to swindle any money from him, right?

There’s no need for anyone to set a trap for him, is there?

Moreover, according to his description, that girl is his classmate, and at that age, it’s unlikely she’s someone like that.

It seemed like he noticed the confusion and puzzlement on their faces, so Li Wentao downed another glass of wine, his eyes slightly reddened, and his words stunned Lin Yi and Li Huiqun at the same time:

"Haha, but right before the holiday, she actually gave the money we both saved, the money from our card, to her best friend!!!"

As he spoke, Li Wentao’s voice turned somewhat hoarse, and he looked really pained inside.

However, Lin Yi and Li Huiqun were a bit confused by his outburst and what he had said.

Although she lent the money to her best friend, maybe her best friend really had some urgent matters, who knows?

Besides, as a man, one shouldn’t be too stingy over some money.

"Come on, Wentao, it’s no big deal, right? A man shouldn’t be this petty. Maybe her best friend had some urgent need for the money?"

In Li Huiqun’s knowledge, as long as the money wasn’t lent to a guy, there was no problem at all, especially since it was her best friend. If she was a bit good-looking, then there was even less of a problem.

Indeed, hearing her question, Li Wentao nodded:

"Indeed, according to her, she lent the money to her best friend for starting a business."

"Oh, isn’t that quite normal? Don’t be so calculating.

Besides, in just about a year, how much could you have saved? A few hundred bucks maybe, so it’s just lent, right?

A big man shouldn’t be so stingy; we’re just responsible for making the money, and how women spend it is naturally up to them to decide. Just like if I borrowed money from you, would you feel okay not lending it to me?"

However, hearing Li Huiqun’s comforting words, Lin Wentao gave a bitter smile:

"Haha, there was actually over 10,000 yuan on that card."

As soon as he said this, both were stunned, neither having expected there to be so much money there.

It’s important to know that this 10,000 yuan, while not a big deal to them, was his parents’ salary for two to three months for someone from Li Wentao’s family.

And perhaps noticing their curiosity, Li Wentao explained:

"Haha, let me put it this way, this year, apart from spending money on her, I barely spent anything else.

After buying breakfast for her every morning, I’d just have a bun and some pickles to eat.

I managed to save over half of my monthly allowance and put it all on the card.

Not just that, during weekends, I’d find part-time jobs like distributing flyers, and that’s how, over the course of a year, I saved almost 17,000 yuan."

Listening to his story, both of them seemed to envision the scenes in their minds.

This guy stood on the street chewing on a bun and handing out flyers, he really lived up to the name of being a simp.

"You might think I’m too foolish, and I agree when I think back now.

But back then, my only thought was to endure some hardship now, so that after graduation, I could use this money to start a business, do some small trading. After all, since she’s with me, I can’t let her suffer all the time, can I?"

Lin Yi nodded:

"Right, that’s a good mindset. As men, we can’t back down, we must have determination.

years the East, 30 years the West, as long as we work hard, success will come."

Perhaps when others say phrases like "30 years the East, 30 years the West," it seems pretentious.

But when it came from Lin Yi’s mouth, it sounded so pragmatic.

Not even requiring 30 years, "20 years the East, 20 years the West" was more fitting.

years ago, Lin Yi had nothing, just an ordinary student from an average family. But 20 years later? He shot up and surpassed all young people in Huaxia.

Throughout Huaxia, who at this age could claim to be more outstanding than Lin Yi?

Nobody!

No matter how much of a genius someone might be, they weren’t as exceptional as him!

Of course, this was all because Lin Yi had a system that nobody else possessed.

Just being chosen by this system was enough to prove that Lin Yi was extraordinary.

Otherwise, among so many young people in Huaxia, not to mention the innumerable population of the world, why would it precisely pick Lin Yi among the billions?

This was far more difficult than winning a lottery jackpot.

But of course, this wasn’t the time to discuss that.

After saying this, both their gazes remained on Li Wentao.

Indeed, after hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Wentao clenched his fist tightly, showing a look of determination on his face.

Perhaps he would only reveal such an expression when he drank too much.

After all, usually, no matter how ambitious, he would keep it quietly in his heart and not express it.

Gritting his teeth slightly, Li Wentao continued: 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Honestly, I’ve always thought like this and acted accordingly.

So even if I ate just two buns daily, I never complained about the hardship or exhaustion, and I was more than willing."

Hearing this, Li Huiqun raised his glass and clinked it with his friend’s:

"See, if you’ve been thinking this way, then what’s the point of dwelling on it? It’s just 17,000 yuan, we can make it back. Stop whining like a woman; if it’s lent to her best friend, then so be it."

However, after saying these words, Li Wentao’s expression didn’t improve. Instead, it grew darker. His eyes reddened, as if he was on the verge of tears.

He raised his glass, taking a gulp and swallowing it down.

Then, for a long while, he didn’t say anything.

The atmosphere became a bit heavy.

Time ticked by every second. Finally, it seemed Li Wentao mustered the courage, lifted his head, and with a somewhat self-mocking laugh,

asked a rather bitter question to Li Huiqun:

"Brother Qun, would you be okay if your girlfriend’s best friend was a guy?"

Pfft. Cough cough cough...

As soon as Li Wentao said this, Li Huiqun immediately spat out half of his drink, and it choked him, making him cough profusely.

Even Lin Yi, standing by, wasn’t much better off, his eyes wide open,
