She looked at everyone, her gaze sweeping across their faces one by one, and said, "No need to doubt! Mr. Ye Feng has already paid your bills, you can leave!"
Upon hearing this, everyone froze in place, their faces blank with shock, completely bewildered.
When Ye had told them earlier, they hadn't dared to believe it, because in their eyes, Ye Feng was just a penniless loser.
They never imagined that Ye Feng would actually come up with over 1.7 million to help everyone pay their bills.
How generous, how rich, how magnanimous!
In contrast, Li Yue, that scoundrel, was good at putting on a show, with his luxury Mercedes, his 8 million from demolition, and his clothing factory, but at the crucial moment, he told them he had no money.
If Ye Feng hadn't paid, they probably wouldn't have been able to leave the Dragon King Hall today.
Thinking of this, those who had mocked Ye Feng before were all filled with shame.
They really wanted to slap themselves, for not trying to curry favor with the truly wealthy Ye Feng, and instead mocking him.
Instead, they had praised Li Yue, that show-off, to the skies, and now, thinking back, they felt so stupid.
Therefore, they now looked at Li Yue with anger, and if it weren't for the fact that they were classmates, they really wanted to beat him into a pig's head.
Those female classmates regretted it even more, they never imagined that Ye Feng was actually the real rich young master among all their classmates.
Every time they thought of how they had mocked and criticized him before, they regretted it deeply.
If they had known, they would have tried to build a better relationship with Ye Feng, so that perhaps they could have received his help and support, and soared to success.
At this moment, a few female classmates behind them started whispering.
"No wonder I said our class beauty has always sided with Ye Feng!"
"Yeah! Oh my, we should have realized this long ago! We missed out, we missed out!"
"Alas, it's all Li Yue's fault, damn it, he made me miss the chance to become a rich wife..."
Ye Feng, of course, was unaware of their discussion; if he had known, he would have probably burst out laughing.
Just then, Ye Feng felt that everything was settled and said, "Alright, we've eaten, we've drunk, and it's getting late! This gathering is over, everyone go home after leaving the Dragon King Hall!"
If it had been before, someone would have probably jumped out to object, but this time, it was unusually quiet.
Moreover, as soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, everyone nodded and prepared to leave.
As the saying goes, "He who eats your food is short of your hand, and he who takes your hand is soft," this was probably the scene right now.
At this moment, their eyes towards Ye Feng were completely different. Before, it was condescension, disdain, and even contempt.
But now, their gazes towards Ye Feng were filled with gratitude, shame, and regret.
Seeing this, Ye Feng shook his head helplessly and sighed, "This is human nature, this is humanity! Fawning over the powerful, despising the poor, turning their faces faster than flipping a book..."
Just then, Li Yue and Li Fei, unable to bear the murderous stares of their classmates, quickly moved to the front, preparing to leave.
But at that moment, the two bodyguards at the door suddenly stopped them.
"What are you doing? Didn't Ye Feng pay?" Li Yue asked, confused.
Li Fei also immediately said, "Yeah! Why are you stopping us? Could it be that this scoundrel Ye Feng didn't pay at all?"
Hearing this, all the classmates showed signs of panic and looked at Ye Feng in confusion.
Ye Feng, seeing this, said speechlessly, "I paid, but I didn't pay for the two of you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yue and Li Fei were immediately furious and said angrily, "Ye Feng, you're too stingy!"
"Yeah! Didn't you say you would pay for everyone?" Li Fei frowned.
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately smiled and said, "Didn't you guys say you were treating everyone to dinner, but in the end, you didn't? Besides, 'everyone' I mentioned didn't include you!"
The other classmates heard this and chimed in, "Exactly, Li Yue, Li Fei, can you two be any more disgusting!"
"Yeah! How dare you ask Ye Feng to pay for you?"
"Please, you two, act like humans! If you can't, at least pretend to be human!"
Some classmates were gritting their teeth, wishing they could go up and beat them up immediately.
Seeing this, the two had no choice but to back down.
However, Li Yue still snorted with dissatisfaction, "Hmph! If you don't pay, so be it! What's the big deal, we'll pay ourselves!"
Soon, Li Yue paid for himself and Li Fei, and only then did the security guards let them leave.
After the two left, Ye Feng and the others also slowly left the Dragon King Hall.
After leaving the Dragon King Hall, all the classmates bid farewell reluctantly.
As they left, these classmates embraced Ye Feng enthusiastically, full of gratitude and reluctance.
The feeling was as if they were old friends of decades, a stark contrast to how they had completely ignored Ye Feng before.
After these classmates left, the class monitor, Song Yang, and Chen Xiaoyue did not leave immediately.
The class monitor said, "Ye Feng, with those two rotten apples, Li Yue and Li Fei, at the previous gathering, we didn't get to chat much. How about we go to a small restaurant for a few drinks?"
Ye Feng heard this and immediately nodded, "Sure! I was thinking the same thing! It's been a long time, we should have a few drinks!"
"Good idea! Li Yue, that scoundrel, was present before, and I didn't even want to say much! Now I really want to have a couple of drinks and talk about how we brothers are doing!" Song Yang said excitedly.
Finally, the three looked at Chen Xiaoyue, and she spread her hands helplessly, "Since you three have decided, let's go!"
Thus, the four found a small restaurant nearby and went in.
However, they didn't know that two people were quietly following behind them.
These two were Li Yue and Li Fei, and they were staring at the four who had entered with resentful expressions.
"Ye Feng, you scoundrel! You made me lose face in front of my classmates, I'll make you pay the consequences!" Li Yue said through gritted teeth.
Li Fei heard this and asked, "Brother Yue, what are you planning to do to this guy?"
"You live in Dongchuan City, do you know any thugs or people from the underworld around here?" Li Yue asked.
Li Fei heard this and immediately said with a proud look, "Brother Yue, you've asked the right person about this!"
"Oh? Speak quickly!" Li Yue urged.
Li Fei coughed twice and then said loudly, "Brother Yue, I know people from the Black Dragon Gang, the biggest underworld force in Dongchuan City! That person has quite a status in the Black Dragon Gang!"
"Oh? Really? That's great! Hurry up and call him, and have him help us deal with Ye Feng and the others!" Li Yue said urgently.
The thought of the humiliation Ye Feng had caused him today made him feel uncomfortable.
After all, the entire class would now regard him as a rat crossing the street, how could he not be angry, how could he not be furious?
"Okay! But their price might be a bit high!" Li Fei hesitated for a moment before saying it.
"It's okay, I have plenty of... money!"
For some reason, Li Yue's confidence wavered halfway through his sentence.
Li Fei heard this and immediately nodded, "Okay! I'll call him right away, we have to make Ye Feng pay today..."
